podcast 178 by Sonic Identity

Lateral (Machine Label) kicks off the first in the series of 'music for isolation' streams for Machine  as  we head into our first week of lockdown 2.0 in Melbourne.

LATERAL  ::  7 quick lockdown questions 

1.   Action, Drama, Romance or Documentary movie?
“ I like a good documentary movie if anything, can't sit down and get through many other movies these days.”

2.   Coffee, Tea or Alcohol?
"Coffee. I don't think I could start a day without it. But that's a tough one seeing as though I love my craft beer these days."

3.   Sleep in or get up early
"get up early"

4.   Favourite Sunday afternoon listening album
"Albums are hard to choose. I usually go for my favourite sets from artists or DJ's. But I always return to The Mars Volta "De-Loused in the Comatorium". "

5. What art movement describes you the best?
"Probably Modernism.
I love experimentation. Especially when it comes to music. I hate making the same sound twice."

6.   Opera, Country, Folk or Black Death Metal
"Can I choose none? Haha.
Opera if I had to choose. I respect the amount of talent that an opera singer has."

7.   Tell us something no one knows about you?
"I love high fantasy novels. Endless reading, And a lot of my track names come from reading high fantasy"

Machine isoStream 01 :: Lateral

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.

Jani Ho presents a very special live electro set for the third in the series of 'music for isolation' streams for Machine.   

JANI HO :: 7 Quick lockdown questions

1. Action, Drama, Romance or Documentary movie?
"Easy, Documentary for sure."

2. Coffee, Tea or Alcohol?
"Beer, Of course"

3. Sleep in or get up early
"Sleeping in has been a welcomed change."

4. Favourite Sunday afternoon listening album
"Currently I been enjoying Spiral Deluxe’s "Voodoo Magic”  on Axis.  (Jeff Mills’s jazz band) "

5. What art movement describes you the best?
"Funk, because Im funky!"

6. Opera, Country, Folk or Black Death Metal
"Black Death Metal every time."

7. Tell us something no one knows about you?
 "I'm a model railroad enthusiast. "

Machine isoStream 03 :: Jani Ho (live Set)

Melbourne techno stalwart Ranjit Nijjer lays down some deep hypnotic grooves for stage four of the Machine weekly isoStream series. 

Ranjit Nijjer :: 7 Quick lockdown questions

1. Action, Drama, Romance or Documentary movie? 
"I’ve only managed to get through a couple of movies throughout both lockdowns; action would probably be my top pick of those three."

2. Coffee, Tea or Alcohol? 
"A couple of strategically placed coffees throughout the day without fail." 

3. Sleep in or get up early 
"Due to having young kids; it’s always, always, always get up early." 

4. Favourite Sunday afternoon listening album 
"Loom Dream by Leif has been a regular in the last 12 months." 

5. What art movement describes you the best? 
"Surrealism"

6 Opera, Country, Folk or Black Death Metal 
"I’d probably have to say folk but all of those aren’t in my regular rotation."

7. Tell us something no one knows about you?
"According to Spotify, my most listened to album of 2019 was Dean Martin’s ‘Italian Love Songs’."

Machine isoStream 05 :: Composite Cone

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 12 :: Daniel Filipovic

Tim Xavier - Aufklapp Spiegel

Amulador Dj Set - #FanzineFest 19 - Fundación Luis Seoane X SON EG

Dj, label owner : Machine label - http://soundcloud.com/machine-label 
With a career spanning over 33 years, Andrew Till is one of few players with a stake in, not only the establishment, but the defining of electronic music in Australia. If ever the term “pioneer” was to be thrown around, it might well be thrown at Andrew Till. And it would stick.
Amidst a budding club and rave culture, hot on the heels of the halcyon summer of love, Andrew Till was amongst the first delivering the new dawn. First as DJ and event organizer, then as co-founder of Australia’s first and most influential electronic label.
Psy-Harmonics burst onto the scene in 1993 and would quickly thrust Till and partner Ollie Olsen onto the world stage, riding at the crest of a new wave of electronica that would crash far beyond our shores. For the next 16 years this label would offer up countless gems, to cement a timeless place in the worldwide pantheon of dance music.
As a dj, and repertoire manager, Andrew Till’s success marks him as elite. His legacy has earned a legion of fans the world over. Launching from hometown Melbourne, his tour schedule is constant: Tokyo, Helsinki, South Africa, Europe, USA, South East Asia, the list goes on and on.
His globetrotting takes in all corners but none more so than Japan. Harboring a particular fascination, Japan has played host with 50+ gigs from the largest festivals & nightclubs including; Ageha, Liquid Room, Womb, Velfare, Nagisa Music Festival, Space Gathering, Total Solar Eclipse festival (Amami-Oshimi) to the most intimate indoor and outdoor venues.
Andrew Till is known for being an innovator: a stylist whose sets are part conjuring act, part act of persuasion: a composite of timing and compositional balance. He mesmerizes with beautifully realized structure and broadens horizons with his call to war: the tension of being swept up in the familiar, and dropped into the unknown.
A view to the horizon and an open minded appraisal of emerging sounds has forged for Andrew Till, the respect of his peers, the endorsement of the music seeking public and continual success on the label front.
In 2009 a new wave surged. Machine Label is the new kid on the block, the techno lovechild, spawned by the club of the same name. Machine is the current driving undercurrent of Andrew Till’s techno fame. Co-owned with Simon Slieker, Machine has become the flag bearer for a procession of burgeoning new talent from Australia and abroad. Machine Club is the monthly embodiment, public outlet and testing ground, whilst Machine Label throws it out to the world.

Andrew continues to deliver forward thinking electronic music as an artist, dj, A&R, manager and mentor. His vast dedication to the development and progression of the culture that became an industry is his inspiration and motivation.

MACHINE is an Australian based record label for deep futuristic techno music.
Established in 2009
