The Chapel Radio Show - Episode 001 (Introductions)

Welcome back to the Chapel.

It’s a funk filled service today on episode 009, as we grace the venue with some soulful/heavy baseline sounds and welcome a NEW special guest - @winstonmarigold

Winston Marigold is a guitarist & producer making disco and funk tracks. He’s been playing renegades around Southern California, so we’ll see where he goes next! 

I discovered this artist through the social platforms and was instantly captivated by his minimalistic but retro artwork and disco twists on hit tracks, including: 
    - "I will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor (https://soundcloud.com/winstonmarigold/i-will-survive-winston-marigold?si=d8ae9fb2635242838861320e7b2b336f&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing)
    - "Sacrifice" by the Weekend (https://soundcloud.com/winstonmarigold/sacrifice-the-weeknd-winston-marigold-version?si=04c1c651901b4fe2b0d9c90a13628805&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing)
    - "Papas Got A Brand New Bag" by James Brown (https://soundcloud.com/winstonmarigold/papas-got-a-brand-new-bag-wm-version?si=fbf1eed13c744e1f814fc79ad68c4eae&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing)

It was a pleasure working with Winston on this episode and I know you will all groove to his mix starting at the 22nd minute.

The Chapel Radio Show - Episode 009 (Guest Mix: Winston Marigold)

Welcome back to The Chapel.

Today’s service offers a full psytrance sound that is sure to blast you to another dimension. Diving right into the episode with introducing and show casing our guest mix by ATFV (@klaus-krzok).

ATFV is a self-taught producer and DJ from Bristol, UK, with a formative 9 months of experience under their portfolio. I was personally drawn into their discography on SoundCloud, which offers sounds from drum & bass, to dubstep, to psytrance. 

 - Minister Matt's top ATFV pick: https://soundcloud.com/klaus-krzok/hellscape-full-version?si=ceeee328b93142e4a0a9fdaf4aea19fa&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

I spoke with the mad scientist ahead of this and asked a little bit about their journey so far and where the project is headed. They are purely music driven when it comes to their production and track listing for their mixes and are currently working on some collabs and EP’s that are targeted to drop on Spotify early 2024. Be on the lookout.






"Psytranceformation" - A quick genre origin story by Minister Matt:

Now, for some of the listeners that are not too familiar with Psytrance, also known as psychedelic trance or simply psy… it is a captivating subgenre of electronic dance music (EDM) that originated in Goa, India during the early 1990s. 

•	The roots of psytrance delve into the psychedelic culture of Goa, a coastal region in western India. Goa was a haven for Western backpackers seeking spiritual enlightenment, drawn by its beautiful beaches, laid-back atmosphere, and the allure of psychedelic substances like LSD and magic mushrooms. These fearless travelers brought with them a love for psychedelic rock music, which they played on rudimentary sound systems during beach parties and gatherings.

•	In the 1980s, electronic dance music began to infiltrate Goa's shores. DJs experimented with high-energy, fast-paced tracks that could keep crowds dancing throughout the night. These musical concoctions were influenced by techno, acid house, and traditional Indian music. The fusion of these elements birthed the first true psytrance parties.

•	In the early 1990s, a group of Goa-based DJs and party organizers embarked on a journey to Europe. Their mission: to introduce psytrance to a wider audience. Their efforts flourished as psytrance quickly gained popularity in countries like Israel, Germany, and the UK. A vibrant international scene emerged, fueled by pulsating beats, mind-bending visuals, and an otherworldly vibe.

In recent years, psytrance has evolved beyond its musical dimensions. Producers now emphasize sustainability and environmental consciousness at festivals and gatherings. As dancers lose themselves in the rhythm, they also connect with nature—a harmonious fusion of beats and ecological awareness.

So next time you find yourself grooving to psytrance under starlit skies or at an underground rave, remember its roots in Goa's sun-kissed beaches—the birthplace of an electrifying genre that transcends time and space.

Welcome back to The Chapel.

Introduction:
For Episode 022 we have quite the bite ahead, as we dive into the sub-world of Electro music and what makes this genre such a staple to this day. I will resurface some of the Electro greats including: Soulwax, Digitalism, Mumbai Science, The Bloody Beetroots, and Proxy. 

Genre Characteristics: 
The significance of this genre is built into its characteristics. Born of funk, hip-hop, disco, and synth-pop, Electro typically makes heavy use of sine waves, offbeat rhythms, and a relatively fast tempo. Electro is typically faster than House music and features more aggressive basslines. This aggressive nature is emphasized by the distorted/industrial drum, particularly the iconic Roland TR-808. The tapping beats, handclaps/clicks, and keyboard basslines of this genre provides its strong hold on the scene since the 1980s.

Track List Influence:
A great deal of research thanks is given to Dr. Lektroluv on this episode's track selections. His iconic, Elektrik World compilations help curate the sounds ahead. Little bit about him...
•	Dr. Lektroluv is known for wearing a distinctive green mask that conceals his identity. His masked persona adds an air of intrigue and playfulness to his performances.
•	As a DJ and producer, Dr. Lektroluv has been at the forefront of the electro movement for over 15 years. Hailing from Belgium, he has left an indelible mark on the global electronic music scene.
•	Elektrik World: Dr. Lektroluv presents “Elektrik World”, a deluxe box set CD compilation featuring essential electro classics. This collection includes tracks from renowned artists such as Miss Kittin & The Hacker, Vitalic, Tiga, and more. It’s a treasure trove of golden electro hits 1.

Welcome back to The Chapel.

For Episode 023, our guest joins us from the Western deserts of the United States, to provide this congregation with a Techno spread you won’t want to skip.

Guest DJ: https://www.instagram.com/shannnnoonnnn/
Background: shannnnoonnnn currently lives in Tucson, AZ but is originally from San Diego, CA. At the start of her journey (2021-22), backyard gatherings were the norm for her circle, where friends took turns bringing over mixers, which in turn piqued shannnnoonnnn’s interest in mixing. At the start of her run, she primarily played at house parties and small events, but has found a larger platform in her current dwelling. After moving to Tucson, she quickly found her people when she sent a mix to the Visionary House Collective (https://www.instagram.com/visionary_house_market/) to showcase her sound in an upcoming Festival. Now, she offers her selections for a variety of festivals and events as a part of the Visionary House crew, which prides itself in bringing a unique music culture to the funky city of Tucson and surrounding cities.

shannnnoonnnn’s sets are usually genres ranging from lo-fi hip hop to techno, dubstep, tech house, and nu-disco. And today, this mix recorded for The Chapel is a curated range of spooky techno tracks for your ears to enjoy.

Minister M.'s label spotlight: Showcasing sounds from their latest Miami compilation, MOXY MUZIK is @dariussyrossian record label & party that launched in 2018.

"The label's first release 'dance of the shaman' sold out on vinyl and the digital release hit number 1 in the minimal deep tech charts in only 24 hours. The label has since gone onto record several more number 1's & countless top 10's although the ethos of the label is not about chart placings, it's about releasing music that is aimed at the dancefloor yet has some depth, the label isn't striving to appeal to the masses, its about putting out music Darius Syrossian would play in his sets. MOXY MUZIK is constantly striving to get behind upcoming talent, as well as releasing music from established artists."

"The label has been getting support from the likes of Detroit legend Derrick May (in his boiler room set), Laurent Garnier and many other artists, whilst the label parties have sold out 18 shows in a row in Manchester in 18 months as a monthly residency and regularly sells out label parties in London at 93 Feet East, as well as hosting parties across Europe, South America & beyond."

"The ethos of the party is about taking things back to the roots of what this is all about, DJs playing long extended sets, in intimate venues and clubs, something which Darius feels is a little lost these days, with promoters mainly focusing on big warehouse events and stacked line ups which sees DJs only play hour long sets or 90 mins sets. Darius regularly plays 6 or or even longer at the Moxy Muzik residency parties in Manchester, London & Leeds."

Welcome back to the Chapel.

We are ringing in today’s milestone episode 025 by bringing you all a progressive packed show and a guest mix you’ll want to stick around for. 

Let’s explore the background of our guest today - @evgeniirymd, also known as Ev Rymd, embarked on his music journey in 2015, drawing inspiration from Eric Prydz. After experimenting with various styles within progressive house, Evgenii discovered his own unique style, characterized by deep, hypnotic progressive house with hints of the genre’s early 2000s roots.

He’s had a very strong last six months, with six releases across the genre pool on labels such as BC2, Balkan Connection and Freegrant Music. Artist Portal: https://www.beatport.com/artist/ev-rymd/1113826

He runs a very successful series of his own known as The Episodes. I connected with him through his platform and instantly ran with Ev’s mixing style, sound selections, and overall journey he sets for the audience. Taking a calm and collective approach to his mixes, you will hear the refinement in what he has aligned for The Chapel today.

The Chapel Radio Show - Episode 025 (Guest Mix: Ev Rymd)

Welcome back to The Chapel.

Today I will play out my top selections from the nu-disco charts and explain the history behind this prominent sub-genre in the electronic scene today. 

For starters, lets take things back to the original influence of Disco, which emerged as a vibrant genre in the late 1960s and reached its peak around 1977. With two strong decades of releases, the world saw a revolution to remember. From there, we have the basis of what nu-disco derives from. In the 21st century, Nu-disco, also known as disco house, came to life. It’s characterized by a renewed interest in those late 1970s disco, early 1980s Italo disco, and funk providers. Nu-disco combines classic funk vibes with modern electronic dance sounds.

What are those components you may ask?
Drum Groove:
- Since nu-disco is a dance genre first and foremost, the drum grooves play an essential role.
Live Instrumentation:
- Unlike some other electronic genres, nu-disco often relies on live instrumentation. You’ll hear funky basslines, guitar riffs, and perhaps even brass sections. 
Synthesizers:
- Nu-disco embraces the legacy of the 1980s, so expect lush and nostalgic synthesizer sounds. 
Arrangement:
- Nu-disco typically follows a song structure reminiscent of classic disco hits. You’ll find multiple breakdowns, verses, and catchy choruses. 

Remember, nu-disco emerged in the late 1990s as a response to the nostalgic revival of disco in the UK and Europe. Its smooth, groove-driven sound continues to captivate listeners, bridging the gap between the past and the present.

Let's Chapel.

The Chapel Radio Show - Episode 026 (Nustalgia-Disco)

Welcome back to The Chapel.

Thank you for tuning into Episode 027 of our genre exploring series. Today's palette will revolve around INDIE DANCE. 

Lets understand this corner of electronic music a bit better and what makes it stand out from the rest, because based on my research, its not as straight forward as we see with other genres. 

Now, the heart of indie dance lies in its ability to merge the structured melodies of indie rock with the infectious beats, synths, and samples of electronic dance music. It marries the songwriting sensibilities of indie rock with the rhythmic drive and club-oriented characteristics of post-disco dance. This genre's innovative blend of styles has led it to be described as "postmodern-Eurosynth-technopop-New Wave in a blender," a label that captures its eclectic and unique essence. 

Artists that fall under this bucket also hold a wide range - from full electronic bands (i.e. LCD Soundsystem) to world renowned DJs (i.e. Adam Ten) - you can truly hear the diverse hold in the charts, old and new. 

Today, I will emphasize deeper indie sounds with influences from DEFLEE, Whitesquare, Jimi Jules, and Yamagucci (full track list below). 

Let's Chapel.

1 Tribe (Original Mix) - DEFLEE, Margarya
2 Egypt Sunset - Maori

This is Minister M and today we are gearing up for a Deep House service that is sure to hold you hostage for the next 90 minutes. 

Today's opening sounds will come from our guest who's curated a treasure filled mix just for The Chapel. To properly introduce: Tijuana (MX) based producer https://soundcloud.com/isaacfifth brings the groove from Deep House to UK Garage, Minimal / Deep Tech, and everything in between!

The Chapel Radio Show - Episode 033 (Guest Mix: pr:mo)

Welcome back to The Chapel.

This is Minister M and you are with us for the first installment of 2025! I am excited to partner up with a California neighbor and bring you a full 70 minutes of Minimal / Deep Tech, House, & Deep House to start your year right. Additionally, California is under serious fire conditions causing destruction across concentrated areas. The artist ahead is raising awareness and funds through the following - any support is appreciated: https://www.instagram.com/thelamission?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D

Let's learn a little about our guest…

- "hombre plata is a LA Native with a deep appreciation for all genres of music. From the womb to his adult life he’s been surrounded by music. 

He fell asleep to classic masters as an infant and toddler, then played flute for multiple years as a child into his early teens. His parents quizzed him on classic rock artists, and his grandparents opened his world to jazz. He discovered an affinity for house music during his time both in and after university. Now, he’s set out on his own journey to craft and mix sounds into electronic arrangements that tantalize the eardrums. 

While still exploring his artistic style, he’s committed to showcasing his journey with friends, family, and fans who appreciate his honest approach to production. He remains committed and true to himself, foregoing the need to submit his music to labels to pursue his own sound that he hopes people around the world will listen to and enjoy. And, while dreams of label acquisition are certainly on his mind, he hopes that they will come naturally and unforced. Crafting a unique sound that sets him apart from other producers and takes his listeners on a journey is at the forefront of his mission. 

His albums and EPs represent an ode to yesteryears, where concept albums and artistic vision shine thru in an age dominated by simple singles and fast content."

Be sure to engage with those guests in the previous installments if you have not already, so much talent out there. 

Now, for episode 035, I am back on a solo venture to open our congregation to more genres across the electronic pool. This time we are hitting Melodic House and Techno.

Beyond the names and places, let's breakdown the composition of Melodic House and Techno, separately.

Melodic House
	• Rhythms: Typically features a steady 4/4 beat structure, characteristic of house music.
	• Melodies: Incorporates rich, flowing melodies that are often uplifting and euphoric.
	• Instruments: Uses a mix of synthesizers, pianos, strings, and other harmonic instruments to create a layered, atmospheric sound.
	• Atmosphere: Often has an emotional, dreamy, or ethereal quality, creating a sense of journey or narrative in the music.
	• Vocals: Can include vocal tracks, but even instrumental tracks focus heavily on melody and atmosphere.

Melodic Techno
	• Rhythms: Also uses a 4/4 beat structure, but with a more driving, insistent, and repetitive rhythm compared to house.
	• Melodies: Similar to melodic house, melodic techno features strong, emotive melodies, but often with a darker, more brooding tone.
	• Instruments: Utilizes a variety of synthesizers, often with more emphasis on basslines and arpeggios.
	• Atmosphere: Creates a deep, immersive atmosphere, sometimes with a sense of tension or introspection.
	• Vocals: Less common than in melodic house, but can be used to enhance the emotional depth of the track.


Hope you enjoy my top picks from the start of 2025. Let's Chapel.
