Reflexions Podcast 17 - Dionisaf

This week’s podcast comes at you from Melbourne-based Ian Morrrison aka Morian. It gives us the biggest pleasure to collaborate with individuals around the world exploring the music they love, and new dimensions and depths of their creative expression through mixing. 

In Ian’s own words: “My musical foundations are rooted in AC/DC, Sabbath and Metallica and give rise to a love of 4/4 rhythm and the riff. From here they veered into where worlds collide – Pink Floyd met the Orb in a student dive and a love of electronica was born, encompassing pioneers such as Orbital, Leftfield et al through to UK D&B, taking in Kruder &amp; Dorfmeister and the dub scene along the way. The love affair however ended in the early nineties, I wasn’t feeling anything from electronica any more, but I knew the music I could hear in my mind must be out there - somewhere. My musical imaginations seemed to put all of the above aspects in place and was only discovered pre pandemic in the form of deep techno. This discovery so rekindled my love and excitement that I took the plunge into DJing - I wanted to take the music internally heard and create mixes to ease back to and soothe the soul. Voila. I hope you all get the same level of enjoyment from this mix, as I had creating it.”

We invite you into the world of Morian via his hypnotic, emotive, down-tempo trip.

I wish I could tell you but when I try it burns my throat--
I wish I could tell you--

I wish I--

For the final chapter of our podcast series this year we are very happy to welcome Davide Montanari aka Surt. He is perhaps best known for his diligent approach to deep techno which is both surgically precise and unashamedly heartfelt. Davide previously released solo works via Edit Select or Planet Rhythm and recorded mixes for one of our favourite communities - the Korean Oslated - as well as Dino Sabatini's Outis podcast series. 

For this chapter of Introspective Electronics, he delivers a journey that seamlessly and patiently blends his deep techno sensibilities with dark ambient dronescapes, high-pressure hypnotic repetitions, a pinch of tribalism and textural experiments. A walk through a landscape in winter, barren fields and dense forests glistening with freshly fallen snow and each step forward whispers a tale of long forgotten springs buried in the soil below ✨🌚🌝✨

Frohes neues Jahr

2021 beginnen wir mit dem in Belgien lebenden Künstler Mike Deem.
Als Inhaber von Aarden Records ist er ein einflussreicher Teil der Hypnotic Techno Scene.
Mit seinen Gefühl für atmosphärische und dunkle Soundstrukturen, melancholische Acid melodien und Basslines baut er einen Spannungsbogen die durch hypnotischen Techno führen.
Er ist immer auf der Suche nach Erneuerung und nutzt gerne neue talentierte Produzenten, um seine Sets zu färben.
Mit seinem aktuellen Hybrid-Setup, das Traktor, einen Mixer, einige Hardware-Elemente und Live-Intermezzos mit seinem Tr-8 enthält, verschwimmt die Grenze zwischen Kunst und purer Unterhaltung.
Seine Mixing-Sessions geben dem Hörer ein psychedelisches Gefühl von Ekstase und Zufriedenheit.

Happy New Year

In 2021 we will start with the Belgian-based artist Mike Deem! 
As the owner of Aarden Records, he is an influential part of the Hypnotic Techno scene.
With his sense of atmospheric and dark sound structures, melancholic acid melodies and basslines, he builds a tension arc that leads through hypnotic techno.
He is always looking for renewal and likes to use new talented producers to color his sets.
With its current hybrid setup, which includes a tractor, a mixer, some hardware elements and live interludes with its Tr-8, the line between art and pure entertainment is blurred.
His mixing sessions give the listener a psychedelic feeling of ecstasy and contentment.
