DECENNIUM27 - Second Storey (Natural Selection, Frustrated Funk)

For the 27th edition of our DECENNIUM series we bring you this exclusive DJ set from Natural Selection resident @second_storey. 

One of the greatest things about 2020 for us was bringing Second Storey (Alec) into the Natural Selection family. Born and bred in UK, now based in Berlin, Alec has been at the forefront of the underground Electronic Music scene for well over a decade and releasing on mammoth labels such as Frustrated Funk, TRUST and Aus Music is fully testament to that. A professional drummer with a lifelong passion for music and a love of experimenting with new sounds, Alec isn’t constrained by boundaries, which is one of the reasons why he has slotted in perfectly with our musical ethos. His roots in bass-heavy Techno and Electro pulse throughout his tracks, whilst he meticulously cares for the defining quality to his craft; Funk. Alec's tracks regularly feature in sets / mixes from an extensive list of heavyweight artists, most notably in recent times, the legendary Autechre. 

Alec has DJ'd and played live all over the UK and Europe. His debut set for Natural Selection as part of our collaboration with Delsin Records, was sadly postponed due to the pandemic, however we were ecstatic to finally have Alec cement his residency at our live stream at FOLD in August last year, playing alongside Ansome, Sigha and fellow residents Kodah, Voicedrone and SWARMM. Keep your ears to the ground for the new date for our Delsin collaboration in which Alec forms part of one of our most lethal lineups to date.

To have such an esteemed artist with us on the Natural Selection frontline is an absolute honour and we are proud to be able to present to you his exquisitely crafted DECENNIUM mix.

DECENNIUM28 - Craigie Knowes

The 28th edition of our DECENNIUM series comes courtesy of Craigie Knowes founders, Mitch Hunter and Max Spittal.

Hailing from Glasgow and Perth, @craigie-knowes is a record label which has gained a reputation for furious, underground club cuts purpose built for the dance-floor. Since 2015 the label has released a prolific array of music from the likes of Jensen Interceptor, DJ Overdose, Carl Finlow, James Shinra, Cygnus and more. Beyond this they have also released two stellar compilations in support of the charity War Child of which the likes of Legowelt, Luke Vibert, London Modular, etc. have all supported and featured. 
 
Mitch and Max themselves are a renowned DJ duo, who would normally be found gigging around the globe pre-pandemic, spinning a diverse selection of underground electronic music soaked in attitude. Their exclusive, heavy-hitting mix for our DECENNIUM series perfectly showcases the Craigie Knowes sound and was an absolute pleasure to listen to and kept us moving from start to finish.

Electro mix @Aristids, Electriga II, 02.09.2016

Appleblim and Second Storey are amazing artists each one for themselves, but they have also been a team for while: they have released a few releases under the AL/SO moniker on R&S and they play b2b sets every now and then, where they cross over from bass music to electro, from house to electronica with a big portion of funk and dub. They did this for this mix and they will do this for our upcoming event on 28th of December at ://about blank. Enjoy the mix and see you there then!

Mor Elian presents: Delta Funktionen - 22 January 2021

Emerging from the underground music scene in the early 2000s, this Riga-based producer and occasional DJ has been crafting a distinct sonic identity rooted in raw rhythm and shadowy basslines. His music channels the darker pulse of electro — machine-driven, atmospheric, and unflinchingly direct. With releases on labels like Blind Allies, Seven Sisters Records, and Electro Music Coalition, he continues to shape the soundscape of electro.
