Clarence Rise [France]

We've already read that his music is dark and cold. It is also beautiful and subtle. French producer Clarence Rise has developed a strong, intense and singular musical identity, where incisive techno meets the icy atmospheres of coldwave. Some people characterize his work as Cinematic or Cold Techno, with a strong focus on complex rhythms, dark sound design and contemplative melancholy.
Author of numerous releases on different labels (Khoros Records, Chez KitoKat, Bella Ursa, Spazio Magnetico...), this DJ and live artist makes his shows real journeys, as powerful as introspective.

Integration EP [The Bunker New York BK048]

Sarah Wreath - Mala

TECH CLUBBERS PODCAST W/ SARAH WREATH

Sarah Wreath is a Berlin-based DJ, sound practitioner, and sound engineer dedicated to harnessing the transformative power of music. Her recent focus on exploring frequencies and delving into sound research and music production reflects her belief in the alchemical properties of sound.
Rejecting traditional boundaries, Sarah blends the roles of producer and DJ, seeing no hierarchy between the club's dancefloor, the acoustic hall, or the healing sound bath. Her perspective emphasizes that both the creator and the selector of music can profoundly impact the body-mind complexities of listeners and dancers through meaningful acoustic messages.
Her versatility is evident in her ability to navigate a wide range of styles—from ambient and experimental compositions to faster, more dynamic rhythms. The upcoming EP Integration on the renowned label The Bunker New York highlights her commitment to immersive rhythms and sonic exploration.
Drawing from influences that range from atmospheric and groovy techno to trance, Sarah immerses listeners in this mix, combining energetic techno with the transcendent qualities of psychedelic rhythms to create a journey of dance and unity.

Sarah Wreath - Tech Clubbers Podcast #365

Bandcamp: https://sohaso.bandcamp.com/album/binding-elements-album-remixes

Keep your friends close, https://soundcloud.com/bas-dobbelaer must have thought when he asked a few gifted producers to remix his recent ambient work. Five tracks from his beautiful and intimate Binding Elements-album (2023) were pushed in new directions by befriended producers and colleagues such as Moon Patrol, Will Oirson and https://soundcloud.com/leifsounds.

The latter turns Submerge into a melodic minimalist piece which pays homage to both Susumo Yokota and Steve Reich. Swiss-born producer https://soundcloud.com/benkaczor goes 4x4 on Irregular, pushing the dreamy original towards Giegling territory in a good and meditative way. 

https://soundcloud.com/dwaalgast108 extrapolates the dub elements in the title track Binding Elements while Brooklyn duo Moon Patrol takes things even deeper on their bass heavy remix of Rise. Closing track Ray gets a wonderful sun-bleached ambient treatment by the talented https://soundcloud.com/willoirson. All five remixes breathe new life in the original versions while retaining their unique magic. That’s what friends are for.

Podcast and Interview with Lucy

Painting with the Primordial: Stroboscopic Artefacts head Lucy AKA Luca Mortellaro delivers a B-side-loaded mix on episode 078 of the podcast, while chatting to EDLX here about the importance of approach, process—and primordial techno.

Can you begin by telling us about this mix?

If you look at the tracklist it’s mostly labels who put out very dancefloor releases: Hotflush, Stockholm LTD, my own label (Stroboscopic), Prologue. I tried to concentrate on what I call the B-sides, so the palette of sounds that for me represent the first step and inspiration for then having a full shaped dancefloor track—kind of a primordial state of techno.
Most of the labels are quite well known in the techno scene and then there are a few others that are more concentrated on the experimental side, like Leaf and Warp. There’s even something from the BBC by Delia Derbyshire, who is a personal hero of mine. Delia was a pioneer of what we are doing right now. She was doing a lot of different things. Some just experimental sounds, some structured like songs, others commercial jingles. And the one that I have chosen for the mix is one of these, used to pass from one moment of the mix into another, like a break between two phases.

Polar Inertia ‘Indirect Light’ sounds like the first break here.

Polar Inertia sounds completely left field techno but actually whenever I play them it works very well as a tool in techno sets. When you use this kind of thing as tools, as patterns, over regular beats in a set you have one more element: unpredictability, which is very precious to me.
Everything of course always depends on the context. So in that context it is a tool, in this mix it is really a full shaped masterpiece, like a song. That is the main reason why making this mix was so interesting because when you have all these things usually in another context they are just tools, but here makes sense fully or lets say independently.

Can you talk about your Stroboscopic inclusions in the mix?

Silent Servant & Luis Farfan ‘La Negra Luna’ is taken from the Stellate Series, which is completely dedicated to the non-dancefloor side of things that for me, in a way, still are techno. Lets use the example of a painter. His paintings are fully shaped and structured, often under certain rules but in the end he has this palette where he mixed all the colours. This series represents the inspiration and basic, primordial state of music that after you shape into ruled sounds in a track.
Dscrd ‘Closure’ is from the latest Monad Series (Dscrd – Monad XII). Monad releases are often a couple of tracks that are very dancefloor-orientated, one broken beat and one totally out of the box—which is this one. And same for the Tommy Four Seven ‘Vayu’ track, which is coming out as Monad XIII.

What is the distinction between a normal 12” and a Monad Series release?

The vinyl series is very much free of any restraint or concept. It’s something like ‘I like it, I release it’. While the Monad Series is always structured in the same way: four tracks with a story—a beginning and an end. I consider them as mini albums, a mini techno album constructed into a four track EP.

Has Stroboscopic’s music policy on the whole shifted over the years or are you still chiefly concerned with delivering a hybrid of styles?

It is always shaping up in new ways, but that’s the way I like it. I manage it like this. I try to go for something people didn’t know they wanted, kind of playing around with the irony of expectations. We’ve always tried to have a very strong dancefloor output that is not exactly easy going, and at the same time—for example with the Stellate Series—have a platform that is dedicated to the experimental side. It is different steps that walk together, a bit like different labels in one. But that is again the way I like it. I don’t like to stick too much to one box.

In an interview with RA you talked about wanting a “general identity, not a sound identity” for the label. Do you feel this is something you have achieved with Stroboscopic?

For me it is about approach. Just sticking to a single genre makes no sense. When you try to move things a bit forward, pushing the limits of what the artists you’re signing can do, you start to lose that consciousness of genre-labels. House, techno, experimental—these things in my mind are not so clear, and I think this is good, this confused state.

Also, keeping everything in-house—from design to mastering—has helped you to forge a very strong identity that is beyond sound.

It’s about approach, doing things in a specific way that doesn’t mean sticking to a rule code in a style of music. The creation process is what is really important to me; it’s more about the process than the finished product. We live in such a speedy world right now that even talking about finished products in an art world (music included) doesn’t make much sense. Everything is a moving process right now and I want to respect this. I want to be conscious about living in this kind of world, and music is an expression about being in this state of mind.

Prurient ‘Cocaine Death’ seems like a random choice towards the end. Do you count industrial and noise as influences at all?

I know that my production sound sometimes appears to have a strong industrial influence but I never really listened to this kind of music. Mostly extreme experimental jazz, non-music or concrete music made up my background. But I think it is a good thing to have things coming from different sides because it gives you more density, more multi-layering.

Warp has been cited on several interviews as a big influence of yours.

Mainly old Warp, but I still respect the platform. When we talk about sound influence I would say Warp records of the early 90s. But if we talk about the management or how they deal with artists and how the label is structured then it is of course a huge influence for me, and even a mould to follow—the way they built up long-term relationships with their people. It is not easy at all to keep that level of trust.

I think, in some ways, Ninja Tune has progressed in a similar fashion to Warp.

Ninja Tune recently pushed things into a field that is very close to the techno scene right now. Tommy Four Seven remixing people like Emika made me think about where Ninja Tune is going. It is an example of labels, these giants like Ninja Tune and Warp, still taking an underground approach, which is something I really respect.

Lucy is the nom de techno of Italian-born and Berlin-based Luca Mortellaro, one of the genre’s most exciting and ambitious DJ/producers. Since 2009, Mortellaro has focused his work through his own Stroboscopic Artefacts label, building an imprint and personal discography that has established itself as one of techno’s finest.
Lucy (née Luca Mortellaro) is one of the pre-eminent sonic adventurers of his time. Not bound to conventional pre-conceptions of what an electronic musician, producer, or DJ must be, Lucy has evolved his distinct sound signature by reconciling the deeply personal with the esoteric, and by harmonizing the spheres of technology and biology. In doing so, he has become rare as an artist, in his ability to please an audience while also introducing them to elements they were not yet familiar with and thereby pushing them out of their comfort zone. Whether he is acting in the role of producer, DJ, performer, or Stroboscopic Artefacts’ curator, Lucy’s clear passion for creative evolution and mutation is something that continues to attract new listeners, and keeps giving his current supporters new reasons to continue tuning in.
