LMD Locked On

ETCH steps up to helm the next episode of the "LMD Locked On" podcast series. A three hour mix built around musical influences from the Brighton based beat scientist.

Few words about the mix by ETCH:

"I guess with a lot of studio mixes and even live i'm known for being eclectic and jumping tempos back and forth quite fast - this mix being long form allowed me to progress things a lot more in a story-telling style manner which is exactly how each track on the record plays out - I also play a lot of old house tracks because despite not being an up front influence on the record as a whole they were actually largely what I was listening to while I was writing the record, I think those particular tracks catch a timeless groove that can move seamlessly through the other genres that are in the mix and within the record, much like how people say it all started with the blues, I feel with modern electronic music it started with those house records, particularly the ones that caught a peculiar groove; I actually had a list of 300 tracks i wanted to fit into the mix and I was fully going to try and do 32 bars, 32 bars, 32 bars, 32 bars etc... but I decided to take it slow"

The myth, the legend, Stephan Laubner aka STL steps up with a very rare mix for the Lick My Deck "Locked On" podcast series, titled "Fragments Of Risk & Fun".

Mixing everything from computer adds, film sountracks, disco, electro, classical, funk, dub, house, techno and radio/field recordings. We can honestly say this is one of the most creative mixes we have heard in a long time.

 

A few words from STL regarding the mix:

 

The mix was recorded with 2 turnatables a CD player and my field recorder.

 

Various sounds have been mixed together as I was aiming to make a mix from a variety of sources. I have added things like a old commodre add, as well as recorded radio stuff, various selections from my vinyls, some music and sounds from my CD"s, all very diverse.

 

A 1 hour mix is basically a very short time to put much emotion into, but on the other hand it was really challenging and like the title suggests, it includes risks, resulting in much fun. Since I am not really a DJ (more a production head) it may include not the newest records, and also the mix is not very constant and stable probably - but for me very enjoyable, honest and possible to revive the mood and energy of that recorded hour.

Jean Patrice Remillard aka Pheek steps up for the next episode of the Lick My Deck Locked On podcast series titled "Emerge".

Pheek has been making experimental electronic music for many years and has built a reputation not just as a exceptional producer but as a talented mastering engineer who mastered Ion Ludwig's stunning album Free K. Loudwiggle.

This 2 hour composition titled "Emerge" was recorded Live in Copenhagen. It's a journey through: lush sounds, twisted melodies & unconformed Pheek grooves.

Sit back, relax and lock on!
