Korpus 9

We want to thank all those listeners/djs/friends/ who have been through the channel and have accompanied us throughout this time... magically this is the 30th podcast.

Lucca is a colleague from Buenos Aires, a very quality person and a DJ of excellence. Throughout the first years in the city of Buenos Aires and currently residing in Berlin, Lucca was acquiring records with a very diverse range of sounds, from afro jazz funk, as well as house electro ambient downtempo and others... He has played in some Buenos Aires venues like Avant Garten, Levitar together with great references of the local scene. 
Also he has played in some spots from the Berlin's scene :) 

This is the result of the last two years in Berlin, in an intense search this set materializes: 1 hour of ambient music, downtempo, some touches of jazz and funk, very deep and delicate as Lucca accustoms us.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we do friends!

Joining us this month is one of the most consistent producers around at the moment. In the past six years Alex has been releasing exciting material through local Stockholm labels such as Abdulla Rashim's Northern Electronics, Bossmuik, and Aniara Records which put out his first record back in 2010. Aniara Records is also responsible for putting out the majority of his output as one half of Genius Of Time, the irresistible DJ/Live act he formed with his good friend Nils Krogh but the duo's punchy releases also found a home on Clone's Royal Oak and Gerd Janson's Running Back. The past two years have seen him focusing primarily on his solo output as Dorisburg and his most ambitious project to date arrived earlier this year on John Talobot's Hivern Discs in the form of the Irrbloss LP.

Today he's prepared a very special mix of mysterious and rare hypnotic House cuts which he recorded straight to cassette through a studio console and analogue outboard. He told us the mix is for "late night internet exploring...something to get lost within while browsing the unknown corners of the web... or possibly what a rave could sound like on an abandoned space station". Enjoy!

Korpus 9 Records kicks off with a brand new EP from dubspeeka, featuring four tracks of high impact and atmospheric techno. 

Korpus 9 Records is a brand new techno label from Russia managed by Kwazalski. The main aim of the label is to release fresh and innovative material, not only digitally, but also on vinyl. All the imagery and influences of the label come from an abandoned research station that is deep underwater, where unusual events are happening around it on a constant basis. Charged with the first release is shadowy Bristolian producer dubspeeka, who has put out his music on Drumcode, Senso Sounds and Get Physical, runs Skeleton Recordings and has a fierce techno sound. 

The opener here is Garrison, a driving number with heavy drums and a warm but edgy mood. Garrison 2 is more spaced out, with celestial pads baring a feeling of suspense above the firmly rooted drums. Garrison 3 then has lumpy drums that bob up and down, as acid lines, water sounds and metallic hits all add atmosphere to the cavernous groove. Last of all, Garrison 4 is an eerie dub techno track with real drive but also plenty of thoughtful emotions. It closes out a brilliant first EP on this exciting new label.

The Korpus 9 label welcomes Scottish techno talent Hans Bouffmyhre for a new EP. It comes after he has established himself on the world scene on labels like Soma and Perc Trax and gigs at the best clubs around the globe. Now with these four latest cuts he once again shows off his unique, powerful style. 

Opener Unconditional is a deep, driving track with firmly rooted drums and burrowing synth lines that get you in a state of hypnosis before the acidic stabs takes things up a notch. Resonator is another perfectly planned bit of tunnel vision techno that is forceful and linear, racing forwards on bulky drums with subtle synths peeling off the groove. 

Growth Chart then follows a similar path but with celestial chords lighting up the background and a curious lead synth line that gets your attention and pulls you deep into the groove. Finally, the heavyweight Crossbow is another bulky techno roller that is designed for big warehouse spaces. It is economical and efficient and makes for perfectly stripped back but striking techno.

Polish, rather new to scene, but extremely talented project Random Sequence originally from Gdańsk debuts on Korpus 9 with an outstanding in every sense EP called Nitrogen Capsule. One by one all five tracks are composed into a complete masterpiece which consists of both action thriller and space adventure and combines into breathtaking science fiction genre. Beginning from daring Vocal Tool we can identify confident hard signature kick wich will follow us throughout most of the release ending with Off enriched with bassy percussion and singular mysterious string pad on the top. A bit of cosmic obscure drama awaits us in Y567 smoothly shifting to Departure wich moves deeply into hypnotic farewell ambience.

Another perfectly assembled EP from Korpus 9 worth having as a main course.
