Mix shared to help commemorate 20 mega years and the closing of sHIFT Radio 101.5 UMFM in Winnipeg. Big congrats to my dude Marc LaCasse and friends for such a run! My contribution was recorded live at House Proud Mpls on 10.1.21. Recording is a bit crunchy in some places but it was SUCH a good night I couldn't not share it. Legit had goosebumps several times during my set. Enjoy!

Mike Gervais for sHIFT Radio - Live from House Proud 10.1.21

Posted August 15th 2013:
It’s been over three years since we last featured Mike Gervais on D-Node, and we’re glad to bring him back with another live recording, this time captured at Bar Americas in Guadalajara. A native of Minneapolis and its long-established techno scene, Gervais has gone from core contributions to Timefog to launching the System event project as part of the top-tier US techno circuit. His next step is to develop the System Records label. Until then, here’s an unmissable 3-hour set of hard-hitting techno from the man doing his thing.

BlankCodePodcast140

Mike Gervais hails from the old guard of Minneapolis. With an ear for technical proficiency and a musical rhythm that spans wide and deep, Gervais has been pushing his sound through production, performance, and promoting for the past 15+ years. 

In the 90’s Gervais started like most of his generation stumbling onto a small underground techno scene. Fast forward through the years and Gervais went on to organize many events around MInneapolis and the midwest, perform across North America, start the record label Timefog, and begin his own endless journey into music production. In 2012 Gervais launched his latest project SYSTEM and quickly established the event series as a top tier US techno circuit stop. Gervais is now developing the launch of SYSTEM records, slated to begin releasing limited vinyl early 2014.

With dedication and experience, Gervais has earned his reputation as a hardworking Midwest artist committed to delivering his sounds and ideas to audiences everywhere.

Truncate [Truncate/Droid/50 Weapons - LA, CA]
https://soundcloud.com/truncate

Since being introduced to electronic music back in the early 90’s, David has been hooked. At the age of 15 he started DJing and playing out at local underground events and raves around the Southern California area. You would’ve found him spinning various styles from house, acid, & techno to hardcore techno.

After a few years of DJing he then decided to learn to produce his own music, which landed him his first releases on labels such as Monoid, Stimulus, 4 Track & local label Droid Recordings. Since being associated with local event production group Droid Behavior in 2003, you can find him as a resident at the infamous Interface warehouse events as well as a regular producer for Droid Recordings. Over the years his music has gained worldwide attention and onto the playlists of many big players which eventually led him to gigs at some of the worlds biggest clubs including Berghain in Berlin and Fabric in London. He is also now regularly touring all over the world in Australia, Japan, Mexico, Canada, Central & South America, all throughout Europe and the U.S.A.

In early 2011 he started a project called ‘Truncate’ which focuses on the deeper, and more raw side of techno. His Truncate releases have been gain support from big players such as, Ben Klock, Marcel Dettmann, Chris Liebing, Speedy J, DVS1, Luke Slater, Ben Sims, Modeselektor and many more.

With his heavy remix, production and touring schedule there is no slowing down in the near future for David as he continues to shape his own sound, putting Droid Behavior and Los Angeles on the techno map.

SYSTEM02 | Mike Gervais | Assailant EP

A​fter the debut SYSTEM release and forthcoming work on Blank Code, Mistress, Dystopian Rhythm, and more, Mike Gervais is back with the second release from deep within the SYSTEM lair.

Relentlessly coded synth lines snake through rough kicks and industrial soundscapes on two seething original cuts, with two remixes completing the package. Luis Flores (CLR, Droid, Blank Code) delivers a pounding metallic reinterpretation, while Doubt (Mistress, Don’t Be Afraid, Disposable Commodities) takes things down a cloudy and twisted path into murky depths.

Vinyl hits store shelves early March. A special edition package consisting of hand printed record jackets, artwork post card, artwork patch, and bonus item will be available through the SYSTEM Bandcamp page. Digital release available two weeks after the vinyl launch.

Think back…
To a time of innocence.
Before the big clubs.
Before the VIP section.
When people weren't afraid of VOCALS in their dance music.
When getting down was more important than getting seen.
When EVERYONE on the dancefloor was your BEST FRIEND.
When HOUSE was just HOUSE.
Not just deep or funky or vocal or minimal or tech or disco or jackin' or tribal or progressive or electro or……
It's all HOUSE baby…
And we are HOUSE PROUD.

The Intersection 001 - Willow Springs

Balans welcomes back Swedish-born Staffan Linzatti for his second release on the Dutch imprint with Dividing in Two, an energetic two-track EP keeping consistent with the labels vision of delivering classic techno rhythms. ‘Dizziness’ opens the EP with a hypnotizing yet airy signal that captivates upon overture. Combined with a rolling bass and quintessential claps it is sure to enchant any listener. On side B, ‘Clarity’ takes a whole new direction opening straight into a full-blown kick and high hats that persist throughout the track.
A perfect follow up to 'View From The Collapsing Centre EP' (BALANS011) released back in 2013.

Barker & Baumecker | Silo (Kobosil Remix)

Basic Soul Unit - Black Ice (Deetron Re-edit) - Midnight Shift

Here is a little something I did for legendary "Hip House" artist Fast Eddie. My Buddy Josh M. set this one up for me. 

This has been played on The public stand and also been used by both Sims and D. Clarke.
The approach I took with this is more of a Chicago tracky style. My house heads here in the city will appreciate it. Thanks.
