Black Loops w/ Giammarco Orsini - December 2021

Skee Mask is one of dance music's greatest crossover stories of the past decade, with new albums greeted with the attention usually reserved for an Aphex Twin or a Caribou. ("Loved seeing this on r/indieheads," said one Reddit user, on the release of the 2021 LP Pool.) It's not hard to understand why: albums like Compro, he blends well-worn dance music tropes with incredible, detailed soundscapes and spine-tingling melodies. And on his 12-inches, he brings that sensibility to the dance floor, with an approach probably best described as articulate. Even on his most ambient of tracks, everything is in its right place. Along with founders the Zenker Brothers, his music outlines everything that makes Munich outfit Ilian Tape one of the best techno labels going.

On the decks, it's kind of a different story. It might surprise you if you only know his albums, but Skee Mask is an incredible DJ, balancing his predilection for hip-hop and UK-informed sounds with laser-focused techno. He can adapt to all sorts of situations—there's an incredible recording of him DJing with four of the best grime and drum & bass MCs in the business—and on his RA Podcast he focuses on the techno side of things, with nearly two hours of pacey techno and creative mixing, with dips into acid, electro, garage and more. It's a party-starting mix from a genuine star, perfect for getting through the holiday doldrums or pre-gaming your NYE plans. Like Skee Mask's best records, it's something to enjoy in any number of settings.

Presenting a rare find: a 1990 recording showcasing Derrick May's set at the legendary RoXY Club. Recently rescued and digitized from the depths of my cassette tape collection, this relic was recorded from Radio 100, a beloved pirate radio station in Amsterdam. Despite the less-than-ideal sound quality, every crackle and hiss adds to the charm of this vintage vinyl mix. It offers a glimpse of a bygone era.

Alan Fitzpatrick’s latest EP is the product of a particularly productive six months of studio time for the Drumcode regular. Containing five tracks that cover a circular range from pre-party ambiance to tripped-out melodic odyssey; vocal laced, chord driven hooks; barnstorming peak-time hammers; and 123bm afterparty grooves; there is more than the ‘usual’ Drumcode fare on offer within the aptly named ‘Life Through Different Eyes’ EP. A significant release for artist and label; the sonic incarnation of Fitzpatrick’s growing maturity as a producer and an indication as to the next evolution of the Drumcode sound.

Uruguayan born producer and Phonotheque club regular Fernando Zapico aka Z@P has been on our radar for quite some time now. Through a string of strong releases on labels like Melliflow, Traffic, El Milagro, Cartulis Music, Phonotheque Music and Yuki Masda’s Cabaret Recording he has firmly established himself as one of the brightest new lights in our scene. 

To get the blood flowing ahead of his performance at the Planet Paradigm after-hours we’d like to share with you the 20th instalment in our VBX Podcast series, courtesy of this man of the moment. Check out his selection full of rare (break)beats for a little taste of the gems residing in Z@P’s record bag.

Now the world has slowed down due to corona we have all space and time to reflect and to create. From this place in space I made a mix I normally wouldn't  have the time to make and you wouldn’t have the time to listen to it. Calm down is a 6 hour spiritual jazz adventure, a dedication to all musicians that are struggling, I hope this mix inspires you like music always has inspired me. 
Thank you

Julien Chaptal is an electronic assembly — part French electronics, part Detroit synth machine, and part Dutch minimal robot (as part of The Bookhouse Boys, MFD, Le Clic and Amsterdam661).

Purpose built with a modular brain, Julien’s performances are switched on, live, utterly groovy, and while pulsating with machine wiring, undeniably human.
