Knotweed Podcast 004 - Gonzalo MD

Myk Derill is an integral part of the Knotweed family, producing music for the label since its inception in 2011. The funky bulldozer of techno (as some like to call him) created three tracks especially for our tenth birthday: bass-heavy, cold and groovy, minimal and funky at the same time: thank you Myk!

Junodownload Review: Myk Derill has been releasing music on Knotweed for a decade, and Suburban Depth sees him showcase his creativity once again. The title track is a low-slung affair, with Derill dropping lead-weight kicks and snappy percussion to create a distinctive, hypnotic track. In stark contrast is "Route Network", where the Knotweed staple drops a gritty, visceral groove that resounds to firing hi hats and noisy, analogue riffs. Derill makes another radical shift in direction on "21 Floor"; featuring deep chords and mysterious vocals combined with dubbed out drums, it is similar to the type of deep house you'd hear on a Detroit label like Sistrum.

Brendon Moeller, also known as the echologist, is a key figure in the techno scene we love. He has been distilling his trippy spaced out repetitive dub beats on many iconic labels for many years. A friend of the Knotweed family since the start, Brendon created this four tracker especially for us, developing further his own vision of techno, while respecting the aesthetic of the label. Thank you so much Brendon for your support throughout the years, long live the echologist!

Junodownload Review:
As part of Knotweed's ten-year celebrations, Echologist aka Brendon Moeller delivers a dynamic dub techno workout. "Knot Safe" revolves around mesmerising chords that swirl and sway over a stepping, metallic rhythm, while on "Dub Knot", Moeller goes into a more abstract direction, with glitchy percussion underpinning warped samples and reverberating effects. "Knot Twist" sees the veteran producer push farther in this experimental direction, as brooding tones and muffled vocals conjure up a hypnotic soundscape, while on "Double Knot", he makes a return of sorts to the dance floor, as doubled up beats and a broken rhythm support layer upon layer of hypnotic tones.

DMT 025 When Winter Comes

DMT025 - Philippe Petit - When Winter Comes (out now!)

Dear Knotweed and Decision Making Theory friends and followers,

We are getting to the end of 2021, and what a year it was. To celebrate 10 years of existence of Knotweed Records, we released 8 vinyl during the course of the year. We also released one Decision Making Theory.

The idea behind the mix is to show that with 45 releases, Knotweed has always been coherent in its approach to techno: you can easily mix a track released in  2012 with a track released in 2021.

The mix encompasses a track of each vinyl released in 2021, as well as some oldies and some previews of what is to come in 2022.

Thanks to Dying, Mattias Fridlell and Alexander Johansson, Javadeep, Andrea Belluzzi, Joaquin Ruiz, The Plant Worker, Rove Ranger, Mode_1, Myk Derill, echologist and Gonzalo MD for delivering such great music during the last 12 months.

Thanks to all the people who have supported the labels by buying our releases in vinyl and digital format: without you this would not have been  possible!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all, and hopefully see you in a dark and sweaty basement in 2022!

Best regards, Philippe

Knotweed 046 Salt & Pepper E.P.

KW046 - echologist - Salt and Pepper (out now!)

To celebrate the start of the year

To celebrate the Imminent release of DMT025 and KW046

To support all the producers and labels releasing killer music lately

To bring some new music selected with love to the ears of the KW/DMT friends and family

To all the people that take the time to include a tracklist with their mixes

To all the vinyl labels that make it clear which is side A and which is side B so we do not have to spend hours reading the unreadable engravings on the vinyl to figure it out when preparing the tracklist

To hope that I will have the chance to do this again in front of a sweaty audience rather than alone in my house (although my wife and my cat are avid supporters)

To the Gods of Weather to bring us some fresh snow more regularly -  I wanna go snowboarding some fresh powder!

To say 'Fuck Covid', we still can dance!

Here is a new podcast mixing the upcoming Decision Making Theory and Knotweed Records I just received at home this morning, as well as a whole bunch of new killer vinyl I got last week and KW045/KW044 that came out last month.

Most of the vinyl releases played here you can find in my latest Juno chart:

Lee Holman is back on Knotweed with a record created like a movie score that would fit perfectly for a John Carpenter movie. Techno yet acid, Minimalistic yet tribal, ambient yet sci-fi, Lee's machines circuitry were used in heavy quantity to develop this piece of music. 

Starting with 'Advanced Technology', Lee takes us to a trip in space. His spaceship is ready to go towards unknown territory. It takes off from Earth towards a far away planet. Maybe Mars, Saturn or even further in another solar system. Menacing synths accompany the heavy drums, helping us navigating into space. The trip is intense, meeting many fields of gamma rays, but thanks to its advanced technology, the ship lands to its destination. 

Having landed on what feels like a friendly planet at first, the crew is in awe with what they find and start its exploration, full of hope. ‘Terraforming', with its ambient-like lush intriguing synths drives us through a new environment. We are not sure what we have found, but for now it seems we came in contact with a peaceful world. That is until the track comes to its end, when nerve wrecking repetitive bleeps warning us on what is to come. 

'Cybernetic Revolt'. Something has gone terribly wrong. How long have we been there? Long enough for something to go awry. Maybe the discovery of unfriendly extraterrestrial life, no-one knows. Decisions need to be made, A repetitive drumbeat gathers the troops. Earth needs to be warned. Navigating through fields of meteorites, heavy acid driven synth lines indicate that we are leaving this newly discovered world we have so much hope in. The tension grows and grows. We are at war with unknown entities. 

'The Warp'. It's up to the listener to decide what really happened. Did the spaceship make it back to Earth? Did the crew survive? Where are we now? Many questions are left unanswered. The atmosphere developed in this piece of music seems to indicate a positive outcome, but you do not really know. The crew is hiding something, they want to survive hence keep a secret from their fellow earthlings that might prove devastating. The more the track develops, the darker it gets.

Knotweed Podcast 27

I first heard of Julixo when I put my hands on his fantastic EP called Silas released on Rauh 005.

After that, I kept a close eye on the sounds he was posting, and when I heard REBHO, I knew we were going to do something together. The warm synth line, together with the jackin drum patterns, were perfect. Then came REFLECTIONS, which fitted superbly with REBHO. Although slower, and maybe more introspective, you still have that warm feeling going through the track.

We decided to go with LIFE OF CRIME on the other side of the record. Much more aggressive in its construction, that track deserved a side on its own: modern techno at its best.

I hope you will enjoy this nice versatile release as much as I do!

Best regards, Philippe Petit

I have asked Benales, Opuswerk and Gonzalo MD to promote the upcoming Knotweed Records 019 Various Artists release by recording a podcast with all 4 tracks in it.

Fasten your seatbelt, second in line for this exercise is Gonzalo MD!

Gonzalo MD is a producer coming straight from Buenos Aires, Argentina. He likes to qualify his music as hypnotic dub techno with a touch of darkness & Detroit and I think that suits his sound very well. He tests his own productions regularly in Buenos Aires, where he DJs often with all the usual suspects. He has already more than a handful of releases on Knotweed Records, Decision Making Theory, Ressort Imprint and Extrasolar.

After hearing this mix, we are all waiting to see Gonzalo cross the ocean and greet us with his amazing full-on no concession mixes in Europe - soon we hope!

Live recording of Philippe Petit's DJ set at Tresor on Friday 2nd of February 2018.

Mostly vinyl, a few unreleased tracks via the CDJs.

Set Time: 6:30 AM - 10:30 AM

The last hour is a back-to-back with label teammate Gonzalo MD!

For bookings, get in touch direct at philippe.petit.cham@orange.fr

Words from Philippe Petit:

"On 02.02.2018, Gonzalo MD and I played at Tresor.Berlin (OFFICIAL), together with many other great artists. After 6 years of musical collaboration, it was the first time I met Gonzalo, and the first time I saw him play. His set was incredible, I was blown away. He set the bar very high and the pressure was on me when I followed his wonderful 2.5 hours set...

I started at 6:30 AM and you can now listen to my closing set at will (and download it if you want to). After the first 3 hours, you can hear Gonzalo joining me for 1 hour of back-to-back action. We stopped around 10:30 in the morning, we were knackered, but more importantly we were very happy!

Many thanks to Alex and Diana and the Tresor staff for getting Gonzalo and I to play together, it was a memorable night! And of course thanks a lot to all the dancers who made the roof sweat :-)

P.S. Gonzalo's set was recorded as well, keep your eyes and ears open, I am sure it will appear soon..."

We welcome Mode_1 to Knotweed.

Hailing from Dublin, Ireland, he made a name for himself playing on a regular basis in his home city for the last couple of years as a resident of the Subject.Dublin parties, District 8 and more.

After hearing his track ‘Oiche’ on the Fiedeltwo Various Artists last year and getting to know each other during a long party in a dark place, it was just a a matter of time to get him on board. Robert crafted a super effective, hypnotic and spacey four-tracker E.P. called ‘Final Approach’. All the necessary ingredients are perfectly mixed together to make you dance: clean kicks, polished basslines, incisive hi-hats, killer snares, percussive toms, dreamy pads and more. Each track produces an irresistible tension that will make your body move!

JUNODOWNLOAD REVIEW
Mode_1 is best known for his DJ sets at the recently shuttered District 8 club in Dublin. He now takes the expertise that he built up spinning in that venue and applies it to his dance floor productions. "Shifted" kick starts the release in high-paced mode with an eerie rhythm track swooping in to the sound of furious claps. "Satellites" is more reserved but similar in mood, as resonating, tonal bleeps unfold over staccato drums. On "Final Approach", he ups the intensity levels again, with a pounding kick underpinning bleak tones, while closing out this debut EP is the slightly deeper but still forceful tech-house of "Lasting Thought".

Junodownload review:
There's a serious message running through the latest release on Decision Making Theory. The work of label owner Philippe Petit, it states that humanity is witnessing 'a meltdown' and that we will be left to deal with the aftermath. By way of a soundtrack, there's the knotted, acid-heavy "Causes", while the title track is a heads-down, relentless affair that just keeps on building. Thankfully though, it's not all bad news; closing track "Consequences" offers some solace. Despite cruises along at 130bpm, its layered, building chords and scatter gun percussion create a euphoric Detroit-style finale to this socially aware EP.

Stephanie Sykes: really love it!
Arnaud le Texier: great E.P.
Dan Curtin: love this E.P.
Claude Young: great E.P.
Marco Lenzi: excellent
Elad Magdasi: nice E.P., summer vibes
Brendon Moeller: great work
Rolando: I am really liking 'Consequences'

Junodownload Review:
Zreik previously released with music on Knotweed with his studio partner as Dying & Barakat, but he flies solo for this EP on sister imprint Decision Making Theory. Musically it's not a huge leap, with many of the nuances and aesthetic of Knotweed writ large here. "Inner Space" is a high-paced Detroit techno affair, led by rattling, steely percussion and populated by a mysterious synth line. On "Reason to Believe", Zreik travels down a more foreboding path, with its minimal growl and a complex, steely rhythm that sounds similar to the darker side of Terrence Dixon's material - who is also a Knotweed artist. On "In My Mind", he reverts to a deeper approach but on this occasion, the rhythm is more dense and the electronic riffs rise hypnotically through the arrangement.

Accept The Future

DMT022 - Gonzalo MD - Accept the Future E.P.

There was a part of my vinyl collection that I had not sorted yet: the 'rock section'. I realised that I had more rock, punk, metal  and hardcore vinyl in Chamonix than I though, definitely enough to prepare a one hour mixtape. While living in Brussels, I used to make gazillions of rock, metal, punk and hardcore mixtapes for my friends, spending time on the vinyl selection and on the K7 artwork carefully prepared around the tracklist: it was so much fun!  Here I selected loads of tracks that made my day back in the eighties: yes, this is part of what got me into techno: dig in!

Junodownload Review:
Having made his name on a stellar mix for the Modular Expansion Podcast, Dying producer from Buenos Aires, Rodrigo Aguero, makes it to Philippe Petit's Knotweed label outta Chamonix! Keeping it real with a straight up four-track techno EP, Aguero sends in a watertight recipe of stretched, bent and detuned synths that flow between a classic array of '90s inspired techno drums. With some quality electro making it into the lo-fi grain of "Gate 7", the two tracks that hit hardest are the strafing atmospheres and 909 beats of both "Deux Ex Machina" and "Ciudad Incognita". For you harder, more classic yet stripped back bassline techno head straight to "The Last Chance To Survive".

KW038 - Dying - Ciudad Incógnita E.P.

Long time Knotweed and DMT supporter Mattias Fridlell approached us with some tracks he recently produced with his friend Alexander Johansson. We immediately knew that this was going to translate into a piece of wax. Expertly crafted, perfectly mixed, this is a beautiful excursion into deep hypnotic techno like no other.
