For the 668th episode of @DarkScienceElectro we check in with longtime friend of the show @DJ-Xed - His first guest mix for the show happened 7 years ago and can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/dvsnme/dark-science-electro-presents-dj-xed

Born and raised in Zagreb, Croatia, Electro funk music got his attention early in the  1980s. He started DJ-ing as a teenager in 1988 for the legendary nightclub KSET. Roughly 10 years later he formed Crobot Crew with a longtime friend, the one and only @NTERcrobotcrew - Soon thereafter they started the record label @CrobotMuzik which would go on to release music from Fleck ESC, Datawave, The Advent, Carl Finlow, Microslav, DJ Godfather, Kalson, Go Nuclear and many more. Crobot Crew promoted several parties with A-list international guests such as AUX88, Anthony Rother, The Advent, Exzakt, Paul Blackford and more.

As a producer, he has also released few EP's, including having been featured on several compilations that showcase his remixing skills for acts like Aux 88, Exzakt, Newcleus, Cli-N-Tel and others.

Dark Science Electro presents: DJ Xed guest mix

After his morning routine of yoga and meditation, Brian checks his ever-growing Revolut.Mars account before reads the intergalactic news on his phone while drinking his coffee. This morning, an article from Cydonia Daily catches his eye:

“42 thousand hectolitres of illegal Aqua Encelada seized by Martian Perimeter Forces (MPF)

In the early hours of the Martian morning, Extrapol have made the biggest seizure to date of undeclared Aqua Ence- lada in the vicinity of landing station MRS_3213. The finding of 42’00 hectolitres of high-purity Aqua Encelada on a cargo vessel entering supposedly carrying rare earths from the Centauri system marks a new record for the prolife- ration of illegal trade of this highly sought-out drinking water from Saturn’s ice-covered moon Enceladus.
Tests made on the chemical composition of the cargo reveal the water to have been extracted by the famously dan- gerous and highly illegal Aquabahn Method, which consists of high-speed capture of H20 particles ejected via cryo- volcanic eruption on Enceladus’s southern pole. This illicit method of extraction has become increasingly popular in recent years as mismanagement within AquaCorp Galactica coupled with unrelenting inflation on Mars have led to a surge in the price of luxury goods such as drinking water.
So far, no arrests have been made. A spokesperson from Extrapol told our journalists that the entire crew of the cargo vessel “internally combusted” immediately upon the discovery of the illegal cargo, leaving no survivors, but rumours that an escape pod managed to evade capture and jump to an unknown destination in hyperspace have been circulating. One Martian Perimeter Forces (MPF) official whose identity must be kept secret for obvious rea- sons told our investigative team that the cargo is believed to have been extracted by the Ultracephalic League and their mysterious amphibious leader Brian.
We strongly urge our readers to consume only the government-authorised synthesised Martian water, and to avoid luxury products whose dangerous extraction increases the influence of dangerous non-governmental groups such as the Ultracephalic League and their slug-like despot leader.“

The Aquabahn Method

The 21st century begins again with games for world domination with the help of force, which, it would seem, was inherent only in the underdeveloped society of the 20th century. 
IOD is the music album and at the same time a course of psychotherapy for all victims who survived shelling and bombing by the Russians. The fear of nuclear war forces Ukrainians to even stock up on iodine to survive it. Symonenko, having a subtle but energetic personality, embodies all his feelings from being in Kyiv during the war into music with the help of rec synthesis and live improvisation with analog synthesizers. Out on 1st September on Mystictrax Ukraine.

A heady fusion of rock’s steely drive, cosmic trance, wiggy acid basslines and cavernous dub, Talk is at once rooted in the turn of the millennium while sounding utterly outside of space and time. A combination of coveted un- and self-released material, the record features a remix, specially commissioned by Betonska, from Naone.

Jin Won Lee (이진원), otherwise known as Gazaebal, is a Korean producer and DJ whose sensual, spacious approach to electronica is rooted in his background as a sound engineer. Having begun his career in New York, in recording studios working with the likes of the Wu-Tang Clan and Janet Jackson, his expansive creative repertoire further includes media art and chart-topping K-pop. A member of Tacit Group, a collective creating algorithmic and audiovisual performances, Gazaebal is presently best known for ambient-adjacent soundscapes, yet in the halcyon late 1990s and early 2000s, he synergised a uniquely potent take on club music.

The titular track was initially released in 1999 on the independent imprint dmstrax, established by Gazaebal’s agent and wife, Nine. First appearing on techno@kr, a compilation CD dedicated to Korean electronic musicians, ‘Talk’ is an hybrid, electro-punk anthem. Colliding sung-screeched Korean lyrics with heavy breakbeat, its abrasive textures are delivered with ultra-slick orchestration. Halfway through, the jittery breaks collapse, reprised by momentous four-to-the-floor. It’s this dichotomy between poise and power that characterises the record as Gazaebal flexes his ear for intricate melodies and rocketing build.

Composed alongside Big Hit Productions founder and BTS songwriter Mr. "Hitman" Bang, the original version of 'And So On' was not available for re-release due to licensing difficulties. But thankfully the multitrack was well preserved. Utilising these components, Nawon Ha (AKA Korean-but-Netherlands-based artist Naone) re-imagines the song for Betonska. Remixed with her own hypnotic vocals, she inflects the track with mesmerising, multi-layered dimensions; a fractal, downtempo trance number that connects two generations of underground electronic musicians from South Korea.

From the pulverising kickdrum of ‘Gilda’ to ‘Spiral's acidic dub fuzz, Talk moves between sharp crests, twists, and turns, enveloping driving 4/4 and shuffling half-time. Presented as a mix-friendly mini-album, the carefully selected 6 tracks are ideally tailored to DJ-level quality and loudness. As much suited to the psychedelic rave scene of yesteryear as they are to contemporary dancefloors, Gazaebal’s productions are defined by his idiosyncrasies. Melding the sheen of tight-production with a flagrant DIY spirit, his music assuages the high-commercialism of the 2000s, resulting in a sound that’s as definitely punchy as it is intoxicatingly precise.

𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙚 : Forma - Scam [Of dolls and murder]

Hooligan twist of half a yung acid — a new podcast for amalgama was recorded by Ilsur Kasa @ilsur_kasa.

Ilsur is a Kazan musical treasure, popularly known as “yo, he is the one from Yung Acid @yung-acid-3, maan!”, co-founder of the Get Busy Recordings @get_buzi,  and also the mission control center of one secretive solo project, systematically gaining speed in the world of big raves. He characterizes himself as an adherent of boring electronics.

The musician gave us a trippy mood for 63 minutes, ideal for leisurely breakfasts and long bike rides. The journey itself will take place, no matter how shocking it may be for those who heard the content of the podcast, through the world of atypical techno narratives. Yep, this is a selective reading of the broadest genre, which leaves surprise. Those same tracks in albums that stand out from the general list due to non-compliance with genre canons, but still somehow survived.

Sunny, ornate, thoughtful, brazen. Beautiful. 
Listen!
