For Viscera 134, Alex Conrad takes control.

"Playing as The Mongolian Disco Show, hosting The Enchanted Dancehall and  as one half of Love Love Love, DJing has always been about hunting for new sounds and creating experiences on the dancefloor. Forever scouring the far corners of the globe for music from drifting ambience to the funkiest funk and rubberiest of basslines; digging through dusty crates of disco and diving into the Death Star’s trash compactor to rescue elusive machine funk; music is the real story. Records of all shapes and sizes are treasured and, forever feeling the pull of the record store, vinyl remains the chosen format. If you can’t understand the blues until you’ve had your heart broken, you’ll need to spend a night dancing through space and time to a funky bass line to get to know this DJ."

In the words of Alex: "As far as committing mixes to tape,  CD, or digital files goes, I’m hardly prolific. This goes back to my early days of hearing DJs play, and only having memories of these experiences. The time, the place, the moment - all being part of the music played - something hard to capture in a recording. 

Although not all these tracks are old, I wanted to put something together that brought back some of the feeling of those parties. Some familiar elements, some maybe unheard, some twists and turns along the way as a night starts out and builds before the inevitable sunrise. 

There’s no particular genre other than music I associate with great DJs I’ve heard along the way. Those memories of hearing the music break the silence and starting a journey to the pulsating electronic sounds, made by machines, that move a dancefloor in the middle of the night, and finally, the drift as dawn leads you into a new day and another moment made falls into memory."

Enjoy!

Hayes Bradley is a composer, producer, and DJ who works across dance music, ambient, and film scoring as well as curating sound for key fashion brands. He has DJed at major events, including Insomniac’s Forever Midnight NYE Festival, as well as in Tokyo, Berlin, and New York. He formerly toured with Kaytranada as part of his American Dance Ghosts group and released his debut EP, ‘These Things Take Time’, back in 2017.

He has since released three albums, including the critically acclaimed ambient debut ‘1-9’ via Secular Sabbath Records, and two ethereal follow-ups, ‘Anywhere For Now’ & ‘Recommence (I/VII)’. Now he joins L.A. label Stratasonic for his latest musical adventure. This first single is a taster of an eclectic and adventurous forthcoming album, which pairs widescreen progressive, melodic broken beats with introspective songwriting and peak-time club euphoria.

Says the artist, "'Total Call' is personal chaos. Chaos, most people try to mask by acting normal. If you're crying or fucked up or panicking in public, you try and cover it up. I think everyone should just lean into whatever they are feeling and care less about the people staring back. The drums and synth pulls are masked by a common guitar riﬀ. But in the end, the guitar sound vanishes and you're just left with who you truly are. Whatever that may be, so probably just be that."

'Total Call' bursts open with gritty, raw guitar riﬀs that drive straight into thunderous breakbeats built for peak-time intensity. This visceral release of inner tension features sinewy synth lines twisting through the chaos, with a potent bassline that keeps the pressure high. It's honest, unfiltered, and sure to electrify any set.

PREMIRE - Ground16 - Disruptive Error (Sofa Movement Records)

Milly on Air is a leading light in Bristol’s underground House and Techno scene; her radiant sets blend a rich world of influences from the early roots of 90s house to forward thinking club music from across the electronic musical sphere. A prolific digger with discerning taste she draws from a wide and colourful musical palette spanning Acid House, Tribal percussion, Progressive, Trance, Breakbeat, and more. With a love of blissed out Balearic pads, Rave stabs and pumping percussion she weaves blissed out, eclectic and euphoric sonic experiences, full of different textures and emotions.

She's the founder of party series Embody which pushes a raw, vibrant flavour of House, Techno, and Trance in Bristol and has welcomed artists such as Gabrielle Kwarteng, System Olympia, The Trip and Kasra V.

As one of Bristol’s most in-demand DJs she has recently been called on to support the likes of Sasha & Digweed, Honey Dijon, Freakenstein, Christian AB, Saoirse, Sally C, Demi Requismo and Alex Kassian and played memorable sets at Love International, Block 9 Glastonbury, Boiler Room, Pikes in Ibiza and High Hoops in Manchester with kaleidoscopic guest mixes for Paramida’s Love on the Rocks, The Trip’s Tessellate and Daisychain under her belt.

She is also regularly heard on air, as the name would suggest, as a much loved drivetime resident on SWU/Rinse FM and is also the host and creator of Back 2 Life, a cult podcast that shines a light on mental health and addiction recovery within the world of electronic music.

Following his recent debut album on the label, Sunden provides a perfect mix...a mix full of pensive joy that absolutely epitomises the shared musical journeys which has led Loose Lips to connect with him and fall in love with his productions.

Minor Coda LP - https://sundensound.bandcamp.com/album/ll030-minor-coda

Max, aka Sunden, is an enigmatic London-based producer, whose work takes inspiration from a plethora of shapeshifting electronics, ambience and amens. Seamlessly blending subdued and atmospheric sounds with complex and driving rhythms, his music’s focus on emotional resonance reflects the ever-shifting moods of life's experiences. His glitched out breakbeats offset by cinematic arrangements sings to 90s IDM, filtered through a modern techno lens.

Who would've thought one of the first female skateboarders and a psych rock singer would spawn a house music prodigy? If you've seen RA's Real Scenes LA docko, then you might've noticed Sage casually rolling some 'herbs' while being interviewed, so maybe it's not hard to fathom after all... These tracks are not one bit spaced out though, they're all sharp, layered, banging house tracks. Like his previous EPs on Spring Theory and Huxley's No Idea's Original, Sage somehow manages to keep things exciting while using very traditional house structures. I guess it's all in the detail.

Sage Caswell - Scenario Day

FM Sucks / Nothing's Like Detroit

Detroit In Effect - Nothings Like Detroit

The A side from Automne's forthcoming EP, out at end of November.

Phase One [LKR004]

LA native Sage Caswell (who's currently based in Madison, Wisconsin) has built his career on a pleasantly chill vacillation between house music and ambient sounds. That duality continues on his latest album, 'Evil Twin,' which is scheduled for release on March 29 via the 2MR label. Ahead of the record's arrival, we debuted the floaty, melody-rich bump of LP cut "Radius Pause" on Red Bull Radio's First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.

Sage Caswell "Radius Pause" [First Floor Premiere]

Auton (aka Mx Silkman) from the In Training collective makes her follow-up from last year's Jacktone Records release with a 4-track ascent into a maze of pummeling overtones, dissonant patterns, and hypnotic rhythms. 'Tute Bianche' is inspired from the social movements from '94-'01, where white overall-wearing demonstrators in Italy, and other parts of the world, protested anti-globalization. It is here that Auton channels this militant ethos with conscious, minimalism techno that embodies the movement's "padded bloc" tactics.
