Free to download directly from soundcloud

one for your mind (free download)

It's the first episode of 2020, welcome to number 11. My guest in this month show is Javier Bähr. We know each other for a couple of years now and I always liked his way of djing and his music selection. His mix was recorded in Munich, where he used to live for six years now. He recently moved back to his hometown Frankfurt (Main). If you got the chance to catch him djing in a club near to you, take your chance!

In the first hour I selected some of my all time favorites for you, plus some more recent stuff and also an upcoming track called 'Haze' by myself!

Music is able to lift you into other dimensions, so come with me through this portal and immerse into the depths of my record collection.

Machine resident Simon Slieker presents the second mix for our 'music for isolation' streams.  
Dive in head first to this excursion of sound
 
SIMON SLIEKER  :: 7 quick lockdown questions  

1. Action, Drama, Romance or Documentary movie? 

Whichever one has a sweeping epic hero. Unfortunately this means I have dubious taste in cinema, lacking nuance, eschewing complexity, and constantly craving something to believe in. I’m increasingly disappointed. 

2. Coffee, Tea or Alcohol? 

At the moment tea. That’s the morning ritual. But I don’t really like tea, it’s too watery and insipid. But coffee is brutal, so I like to roll off it periodically. Hence the tea. As for alcohol, if you’d asked me last lockdown, it was all about Damned Murphy and his crazy specials, hmmm a spirit, all the fun of the mixed case of wine, may well get this six pack as well, oh and these ciders, and on the way out that shopping trolley with random bottles was so much fun; wow $1.39 for a bottle of citrus stout: bargain! Bleaugh. This time I’ve stopped altogether. Dry. So the tea has become quite the ‘high’. High tea. 

3. Sleep in or get up early 

Ah this is becoming about the contrasting lockdowns: 1 and 2. Lockdown 1 I didn’t sleep, I stayed up the whole time. Lockdown 2 I’m going to bed early and have made a surprise discovery: getting up early. Which sounds bad, like you’re being punished. But it turns out it means you’re getting enough sleep. I’ve not experienced this before so it didn’t make any sense. It’s amazing you should try it. 

4. Favourite Sunday afternoon listening album 

I don’t have one.

5. What art movement describes you the best?

Pre-Raphaelite.

6 Opera, Country, Folk or Black Death Metal

Maybe folk. But I think you’ve chosen the four exceptionally problematic and compromised genres there. Were they chosen especially for me? I’m going with folk because when I was 16 I decided to become quite good with a harmonica and I think that had something to do with folk, or Bob Dylan at least. 

7. Tell us something no one knows about you?

I don’t have a favourite listening album. Oh that cat’s out of the bag. Um, I don’t want to alarm anyone, but I think I’m starting to go bald.

Machine isoStream 02 :: Simon Slieker

The third week of July 2020.
Oslated Mix Episode 209 - Terminal Sync

Venice
Italy

Submerged in both DJing and production, Manuel started his career as a DJ back in 2006, influenced mainly by the early 90’s sound of Venice and Berlin as well by the first pioneers of electronic music.
In his DJ sets, Manuel makes a precise and intimate techno flow that seduces the dancefloor mixing new and old vinyls range from deep, intricate techno, through and acid and groovy darkness with some melodic gems along the way.

디제잉과 프로듀싱을 겸하는 Manuel 은 DJ 로서 그의 경력을 2006년 부터 쌓기 시작했다. 그는 초창기 전자 음악의 개척자들에게 뿐만 아니라 베니스와 베를린의 초기 90년대 사운드에 크게 영향받았다.
그의 DJ set 에서, Manuel 은 복잡하고 깊은 범위의 오래된 바이닐 테크노를 애시드하고 그루비한 어둠, 그리고 약간의 멜로디를 믹싱하여 댄스플로우를 매혹하는 정확하고 미묘한 테크노 플로우를 만들어낸다.

Ranjit Nijjer - Machine Isostream Mix

Machine isoStream 04 :: Ranjit Nijjer

Machine resident Emmymaie packs a punch with her isoStream mix featuring a selection tracks from Machine Label artists over the past 10 years.  

Emmymaie :: 7 Quick lockdown questions

1. Action, Drama, Romance or Documentary movie?
e) footy replays ;D*

2. Coffee, Tea or Alcohol?
Coffee - though if you’re talking instant, I’ll pass. I’ve lately had to temper my caffeine intake; finding great organic decaf coffee beans has helped, but I have also developed a renewed appreciation for pots of herbal tea, most varieties (except chamomile - bleugh ;)*, in many combos... As for alcohol: having, by my early-mid-40s, drunk enough for three or four lifetimes, I now no longer drink booze (I know, huh? :)*. It’s not a hard “no”; I’ll have the occasional vodka-cranberry / Moscow Mule / Frangelico on ice with lime / etc. whilst working at Machine (for instance) but the last time that happened, well... ;/*

3. Sleep in or get up early?
Definitely the former; in fact, I sleep in so hard I’m basically noctural. And I’ve been that way since I was a kid. It’s not that I don’t like mornings; I do, and (one reason) I love our dance music culture (is) for the opportunity it affords to see the sunrise after staying up all night!

4. Favourite Sunday afternoon listening album
Techno (any). Or footy replays xD*

5. What art movement describes you best?
Hmmm, maybe Fauvism? For the colour and whimsy...

6. Opera, Country, Folk or Black Death Metal?
After techno, I like all those almost equally; metal probably wins (being most like techno! ;P*) \nn/-

7. Tell us something no one knows about you
You know, I can’t think of a single thing about myself that isn’t known by at least one other person... If I was a book, I’d be open ;o*

Machine isoStream 06 :: Emmymaie

Juan Tellez draws us into a deep transcendental vibe with his mix for our seventh isoStream, veering us into a world of dark ritualistic hypnotic techno music.   (Scroll down for tracklist)

Juan Tellez  :: 7 quick lockdown questions

1. Action, Drama, Romance or Documentary movie? 
I’m generally a big fan of non-English film that challenges one’s sense of reality or perspective. That said, I’ve been watching a number of documentaries recently on Indigenous Australian issues that have been massively educational for this white New Zealander. In that vein, I recommend: Gurrumul; The Final Quarter; Westwind: Djalu’s Legacy; and, Murundak: Songs of Freedom.    

2. Coffee, Tea or Alcohol? 
Coffee: Long Black generally in the morning.
Tea: Most teas and constantly consumed through the day.
Alcohol: Red Wine (Pinot Noir especially), Espresso Martini, Vodka/Lime/Soda
Special shout out goes to my soulmate beverage Club Mate X

3. Sleep in or get up early 
As a night owl, it’s a sleep-in without question.

4. Favourite Sunday afternoon listening album 
The various sounds of the outdoors (nature especially), but if I’m inside, I really like to mellow out to ambient music at the moment. I’m currently feeling Jonas Kopp’s ambient sounds: https://soundcloud.com/jonas-kopp/sets/transmisiones-de-1-hora-para  

5. What art movement describes you the best?
My Father was an artist influenced by Cubism and Surrealism and while I resonate with both of those movements, I’d have to say that it’s an artist that best represents myself and that is Hieronymus Bosch. My brain is very much ‘The Garden of Earthly Delights’ haha! 

6. Opera, Country, Folk or Black Death Metal
I’d tend towards Folk/Black Death Metal. Very much looking forward to seeing Chelsea Wolfe and Emma Ruth Rundle live once the pandemic settles down!  

7. Tell us something no one knows about you?
For digital music listening through my computer, I prefer using foobar2000 to VLC
