Tiger's Blood. Episode 47: Miracle Libido

The Dutch prince of analog synths Danny Wolfers (@legowelt-official), has prepared a special sound set for the lonely galactic gigolo - purring synth-boogie, hazy ambient funk and stellar electro-dub, where nostalgia replaces sentimentality with reverb, and dotted beats dissolve at dawn.

Recorded specially for Grains of Peace - recreational zone and charity marathon on Kyiv-based 20ft Radio to help Ukrainians who have suffered from russia's aggression.

PAVEL MILYAKOV w/ Nikolajev 191222

The reality around you suddenly turns into a beach bar called «Carousel». It smells of cypress, charcoal fish and cheap cigarettes. The lights are dancing on the sea surface. The dance floor is sticky because of all the alcohol spilled overnight. There are only you and a hugging drunk couple dancing there (he is a chubby man in a light coloured loose-fitting suit, he’s hardly pronouncing «I’m technically married, but …»; she is a petite brunette in a provocative short red dress). Somewhere on the embankment howls the siren of a police car. Moustached bartender puts your (well, whose else?) misted glass of beer with a swaying head of foam on the counter. He unequivocally bites his lower lip and for some reason you smiles broadly. It’s clearly that tonight you are going to his place. Everything is rapidly slipping away, dissolving in the darkness of the southern night. All you had to do to experience all of that was just to turn on the mix of our precious Andrey Zhilin for 5/8: radio

GOST ZVUK x Dublab: guest show with Andrey Ramonov

"It feels like a transfer into another reality - the world inside you, that opens up more pure opportunities to be heard. While listening you can imagine yourself somewhere where you’ll find coziness. That's the place where your emotions can be more intensive and your power can be more deeper. 
The recording of this mix was an intimate moment, which I can feel every time I listen to it again. My mission will be fulfilled if someone can find a calm and inspiring place inside himself while listening."

Soviet Mix on No Fun Radio - Oct. 27, 2017

From Paris with love here comes mix 008 by Second Circle artist and friend D.K. (@d-k-music). Q&A (excerpt) here below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Salut Dang Khoa, welcome to our podcast series. Had a nice summer?

DK: Hey! Thanks for having me. My summer was pretty cool, I was happy to play some nice festivals and gigs in Europe. I also had a little break to go on vacation with some friends in Marseille to enjoy the sea and the South coast of France.

MFM: Speaking about summer, your music has quite an exotic touch in which melody and percussion both seem to play a pivotal role. Where does that come from? 

DK: At the very beginning, it was simply inspired by the kind of house music I was listening to. But it changed through the years. I had a period when I was into industrial stuff, and I’ve been really inspired by the textures, by that sensation of mechanical groove and how the percussions were used. It kind of lead me to listen to the roots of music, and got into ritual sounds. Regarding the melodies, I don’t know man, it’s maybe because I’ve listened to too much R’n’B when I was a teenager haha.

MFM: But you're not a trained musician in one way or another? Like, can you read notes and play keys or other instruments maybe?

DK: I played violin when i was very young at the Rennes Conservatory of music for 6 years but it was a long time ago and i didn't practice since. I still can read notes but i'm super slow when it's about to play a musical score with other instruments now.

MFM: Would you say you have a D.K. workflow when in the studio?

DK: I like to have a precise idea of what I want to do before I start, even if it’s going to change completely during the process. Also, the shape of a track will really depend on what I’m listening to at the moment. I can easily get lost sometimes, producing something that is totally different of what I’m doing but I always learn some new technics. It’s a good way to find new ideas as well. Most of the time, I work on the same loop until I’m satisfied, almost all the elements of the track have to be already present on this loop, so I can have a vision of what it’s going to look like. Then, I know it will be easy to structure, edit and finish.

MFM: Interesting, for a lot of producers making arrangements seems a tough task or annoying burden even. What's your trick?

DK: I start with the  rhythm structure then focus my work on finding the main theme of a track,  and i build everything around it. If the beat and the  hook are strong enough it's usually not a tough task to make the arrangements.

MFM: You've been putting out music not only as D.K., how come?

DK: I decided to use that 45ACP moniker to focus my work more on sound textures and beats. It was maybe more heavy and club-oriented than what I used to do as D.K.. But now, I’m trying to combine everything in one project to create more contrast in my music. I’m generally interested by the opposition of textures and sounds in music. For instance, I like to mix raw percussion parts with clean drums or melancholic cold pads with naive midi melodies.

MFM: So, what can tell us about the mix? Any specific theme behind it?

DK: It’s a collage of tracks that I’ve been listening to at home recently and some edits I’ve made, from ambient and tribal to Japanese stuff. It’s obviously not what people can expect to hear me play in a festival or club but I would say that it’s more the vibe that I’m trying to create when i’m performing live.

MFM: Last but not least, any exciting news you'd like to share?

DK: I’m wrapping up my next Ep at the moment, it will be the third volume of my trilogy dedicated to club music on Antinote. I also have a release to come out soon on 12th Isle, and a couple of remixes.

MFM Mix 008: D.K.

This mix is a continuation of my research into the jazz music perfectly suited for listening to within a cozy family circle. I'm compiled a diverse selection of recordings, aiming to build up an intimate and warm atmosphere by delivering a powerful, nostalgic sound made of smooth rhythms, bright soundscapes, and driving melodies. It opens with a track by Ukrainian jazz trio Moon Hook and then incorporates both obscure and established artists from Siberia, Uzbekistan and Russia: Alexey Kuznetsov, Igor Nazaruk, West-Siberian Jazz Quartet, and Sato. The mix culminates with a track by one of the most famous Soviet jazz collectives, the Variety Orchestra directed by Oleg Lundstrem.
