Voice Notes Records Show w/ Toby Tobias - August 2024

A unique type of breakthrough act delivers this week's mix.

Marquis Hawkes debuted in 2012, releasing a trio of EPs on Glasgow's Dixon Avenue Basement Jams label. Drawing from classic Chicago house, with a no frills approach to production that made him the perfect fit for the label (whose motto is "real rockin' raw shit from the street for the clubs"), the EPs made him an instant one-to-watch in house and techno. 2014 was Hawkes' most productive year yet: as well as another record on Dixon Avenue, he delivered records for European labels that fit his approach (Clone Jack for Daze, Creme Organisation) and inked a deal with Houndstooth, who released his Fifty Fathoms Deep EP.

Hawkes is no kid, however (if you didn't gather that from the illustration above): a British ex pat in Berlin, he was making music for 15 years before finding success as Marqius, and his FACT mix draws from two decades of buying and making dance records. DBX, Kerri Chandler, Armando and Roy Davis Jr are all included, while there's also an airing for newer, but still classic-sounding house from Leon Vynehall and Delroy Edwards.

Comet 3I ATLAS will make its closest approach to Earth in the next 24 hours. This interstellar object, which has been making headlines for the last few months, is one of a kind and continues to display anomalies that hint at its potential artificial origins. This ambiguity as to whether 3I ATLAS is of natural or intelligent design is what inspired me to write this track.

ARRIVE ALIVE (Instrumental)

The Russia based Inga Mauer will proudly line up at our Dekmantel Festival this summer. And it is easy to see why: she has a high impact, strobe lit dark techno sound that is impossible to escape. This is true of her DJ-sets as well as her productions, which have been released on labels like Hivern Discs and shtum. Imbued with elements of EBM, hellish synth craft and psychedelic tendencies, she brings a fresh and widescreen persecutive to electronic music that really stands her out. 

Her mix is here just as alarming for all the right reasons: it quickly shifts from foreboding noise tracks to eerie drones, from cold wave styles to thudding house via nasty old school techno. Powerful and visceral throughout, it’s a muscular mix that takes many risks and veers off into a weird and wonderful world of sound that is never less than brilliantly unpredictable.

Mesh Mix Series 009: Reid Willis 

A curated series where we commission artists to make an hour long mix of whatever inspires them to experiment, produce, play out and what they listen to.

"With this mix, I wanted to create a tapestry of sounds and genres that fuel my creativity and inspiration. These artists and composers have tapped into some of the most beautiful melodic frequencies that haunt me and press all the right buttons in my brain. Mood is key for me, and all of these pieces have a very distinct, unique energy that elevates the listening experience into total escapism" - Reid Willis

Mesh Series 09: Reid Willis

Originally planned as a series of in-store-style events just as the first waves of lockdown hit, Club Rooted launches as a new podcast series dedicated to non-floor focussed club music. Riding the line between warm-ups, messy after-party sets and the golden era of dubstep, when the dance makes way for something else.

The mix series follows a new wave of labels and artists pushing a non-floor focused sound + tapping into a lineage that can be traced back through various scenes, from recent slow or
kickless techno, abstract UK bass music, to autonomic DnB, knackered house, Detroit Beatdown, & various strands of electronica or IDM.

Club music for listening may be a contradiction in terms, but it’s certainly club rooted.
