Lisene

As the son of an accomplished jazz guitarist and a pop singer, Lisene (Marlon Morris) was brought up surrounded by a wide spectrum of music from an early age. Growing up in the cultural melting pot of Brixton, his exposure to DIY soundsystem culture, as well as his own musical experimentations with family and friends, naturally lead to an interest in both the scientific and musical side of studio work.
After relocating to Leeds to study audio engineering, he released two records on the then-unknown but now highly sought after 'day by day' label, informed by 90s techno, IDM, and trance.

This was followed by a collaboration with his friend of over 15 years Adam Pits, with their first release as Space Cadets on Seven Hills picking up a huge amount of attention and landing them a string of gigs across both the UK and EU. No stranger to burning the midnight oil to hunt for tracks, Lisene's record bag is of the highest standard, diverse and full of surprises. Channelling the spirit of the 90s through the sound of the future via a stash of 12" obscurities that would be the envy of a collector twice his age, his sets flit around the psychedelic fringes where techno, trance, breaks and electro meet, weaving together a sonic tapestry far greater than the sum of its parts.
He displayed all of this next to astronauts like No Moon, Peach, Objekt, D.Tiffany and plenty of other space explorers.

With multiple Space Cadets EPs and his own work about to launch on some of the biggest labels in the scene, as well as his sublime collaborative project On Rotation catching absolute fire with their second release by Solar Suite just out including a Roza Terenzi Remix. We warn you not to blink as this guy is moving at the speed of light, so without further ado enjoy this 2,5h mix recorded at Wire, Leeds.

DUSK161 By Lisene

Back in April I had the chance to play at one of the coolest parties I've been to, WARNING in Berlin. Originally was booked to play as Space Cadets but Adam was ill so I did it solo, was quite nervous at the start (which never usually happens), when the pitch of the first track starts drifting by itself you know you're in for a real ride!

Luckily with the support of my friends and a really up for it crowd, I got into a flow pretty quick and everything just started to work - I think you can really hear that moment happen haha. The party was billed as a rave and I really leaned into that vibe, so lots of acidy bits, trippy tools and fast transitions!

Was a real pleasure to just play a bunch of my all time faves to such a great crowd on a ultra crisp and deep system, big love to anyone who was there! Hope you had as much fun dancing as I did playing <3 

Enjoy! x

Zoltan Doübious and Leeds based record label On Rotation collaborate on a graphic product and mix series.

Co-founded by Chris I’Anson, Adam Pits & Lisene, On Rotation has become home to a spectrum of forward thinking productions which encapsulate a range of electronic genres. 

Taking inspiration from the outer-cosmic, the inner-self and the digi-natural, the graphic tee takes design cues from the label’s releases while also being heavily influenced by the trio's intoxicating mixing styles.
 
Using fluorescent and metallic inks the graphic tee pops on the dance floor while the three part mix series takes us on a downtempo voyage through each co-founder’s slowed down selections.

Each tee is limited edition while the mix series is a gift from us

Prog Royalty, who goes by the name of Lisene or Marlon Morris, joins us for this months show. @lisenemusic has put together a retrospective of one of his favourite artists called Aural Imbalance, which is full of atmospheric sounds & letting each track breathe through simple yet effective mixing. @lisenemusic stated it’s a little less fast paced than a club mix but the quality of the tracks speaks for themselves.

@lisenemusic has recently graced Australian shores in the tail end of 2023 & most notably featured at @strawberryfields_festival alongside his lifelong friend @adam__pits as their b2b alias Space Cadets. @lisenemusic is no stranger to the scene & has shared talents at many renowned events such as @boilerroomtv , @dimensionsfestival , @warning._____ & @hypersoft__ .

@lisenemusic is also apart of his own 3-way label called @on.rotation.music with @adam__pits & @chris_ianson . As a label they have had many releases and events and continue to sit high up within the progressive house community.

Tune in live on Thursday 20th June @ 9:00am (AEST) via @subtleradio (Link in bio)

Hush w/ Lisene - Subtle Radio - 20/6/2024

space•cast 020 comes from Lisene, one of the most talented producers of the modern era. As a DJ, he's crafted a unique sound that sits in the sweet spot between the deeper shades of techno and the darker tracks from the progressive trance universe. 

This mix was recorded live at a space•lab party in 2023 and here we get Lisene in full flow - the place was absolutely rocking and I'm so happy it's finally out in the wild. 

Be sure to check out his new album that's just dropped on OnRotation:

Had a great time recording this one for @lucaschiavoni 's show a month or so ago - started with the vibe of the transition between warmup and peak time. Went pretty deep in the mix and really got into the flow of the set so a few curveballs and lots of weapons I wouldn't normally put on sc... enjoy

Noods: space•lab with Lisene

Next up on the series is Leeds-based producer and selector @liseneuk aka Marlon Morris. 

Marlon joined the ranks at On Rotation as a resident a couple of years ago, helping them put on incredible parties with the likes of Detroit In Effect, Ex-Terrestrial & Priori, Roza Terenzi, Justin Cudmore and D. Tiffany. His own productions reflect the styles of the party's headliners, touching upon electro while firmly grounded in rolling, intricate,  trance inducing grooves and meaty basslines. His best mate Adam Pits shares this passion for proggy sounds, and together they are Space Cadets, releasing their first record on Seven Hills Records earlier this year.

Not only is a dab-hand on production, Lisene is a fine digger of tunes, regularly plumbing the depths of goa trance, breaks, tech house and more for gems. This mix is testament to those efforts.

The next On Rotation party is on 6th December at Wire with Forest Drive West, re:ni and Chekov: http://bit.ly/OnRoDec19

Wire Mix 012: Lisene

Number 22 is a psychedelic dance excursion brought to you by the wonderful Space Cadets from Leeds, a few words from them:

"This was recorded between 3-7am at one of the coolest clubs we've ever been to, River Port in Kyiv. Super up for it crowd, incredible sound and some SERIOUS energy in the room so we were just playing off that. 2 for 2 the whole way through, with Adam kicking things off. Was an absolute pleasure to just play our favourite records one after the other to a room that appreciated them as much as we do, and having 4 hours (and an after party in Closer) to do it was the icing on the cake. 

We had such a great time in Kyiv, met so many cool people and slept about 4 hours between us in as many days. Big shouts to all the DJs who played alongside us and the ZHAR promoters for their amazing hospitality. One of those weekends that reminds you why you love going out in the first place and gives you fresh inspiration and energy for weeks afterwards. Definitely an experience that'll stay with us forever!"

Cheers guys

People & Places 022: Space Cadets

Recording of my mix on the As Is(olates) live stream. Was meant to be playing for these guys in Sheffield before the lockdown forced us to reschedule so was a pleasure to do something for them. Started off by resetting the vibe then taking it up through the gears to 140 and beyond. 

Apologies for the occasional audio glitches in the recording! 

Enjoy and stay safe/sane x

Mix for As Is(olates)

Something to warm you up as the days get colder... my set from our June event in memory of our beloved resident and friend Alex T, live and direct from the basement of Wire. 

I played second to last and hadn't heard loud music in months so was about 12 sheets to the wind by this point - cue an unplanned smush of over excited mixing and super loose track selection 🙃

As always, a combination of long-forgotten oldskool tunes and tracks from mates with a couple of party bangers slipped in for good measure.

Enjoy!

Lisene - Wire Live Stream

Tracklist soon.

Earth Dog Radio 004: Lisene

@liseneuk creates music that works in all settings and transcends genres. His openness to a wide range of sound is what has both made him a widely loved favourite, but also someone who operates in his own parallel musical world. We have the opportunity to present an exclusive mix, so hit play, listen and dance!

"This was the first mix I’ve recorded in a few months, and shows what I’ve been listening to a lot lately. As the days get colder my tastes always seem to get darker, so expect something a little different to the other mixes I’ve put out this year – more driving, abrasive techno than mellow and housey this time round but with a generous pinch of my special psychedelic sprinkles on top as usual!" - Lisene

MIX 002: LISENE

In recent times, Space Cadets have taken the scene by storm. Based in Leeds, UK, the two are quickly becoming synonymous with a modern and exciting tech/trancey style of production. Both are also residents/co-run the party/mix series @on-rotation-music

Marlon (@liseneuk) & Adam (@adampits) have pioneered a new and unique sound, inspired by elements of 90's and early 2000's tech/trance/prog and electronica but with their own signature touches and embedded with a distinctly UK vibe. With respective releases on Planet Euphorique, Banoffee Pies, X-Kalay & Holding Hands, not only are both incredibly talented producers in their own right, but this mix is proof that their ability to select and compile a compelling set is just as impressive. 

This mix is what we all need after a long 2020. 

Thankyou Marlon & Adam :')
