Back with the first Bandcloud guest mix in a year! What's prompted this return? Who knows. 

https://soundcloud.com/lxv is David Sutton, a Philadelphia-based artist who first came to my attention when he released Sirens, a collaboration with Kara-Lis Coverdale. He also refashioned a track for Emily Berregaard's "Hallowed" release on enmossed.

He's put out something like eight solo albums and a series of EPs/singles/shorter-form releases since 2014, and contributed to the much-loved Blowing Up The Workshop mix series, as well as the "too new to be classic" Beyond/Below series. 

This mix features strange and beautiful music from Mira Calix, More Eaze, Sasha (but not *that* Sasha), Coil and many more artists, most of whom are completely unfamiliar to me. There's an almost even split between haunting melancholy and Italian dream house, perfect for the gorgeous liminality of this particular season.

The Enchanted Sea- Martin Denny
Untitled II- Nikolaienko
BB's Chant- Charles Bernstein
Scmyk- Mira Calix
Priority- More Eaze ft. Ben Bondy
Resounding Seashell- Jacy
Stormfugle- Moniek Darge
A Key to Heaven for a Heavenly Trance- Sasha
Plow Man- Terrestrial Tones
Find What You Love and Let It Kill You- Sylvain Chauveau ft. Myriam Pruvot & Chantal Acda
Sound Holes- Double Leopards
157- Chris Fratesi
Hidden Cove- Forrest Fang & Carl Weingarten
The Worst Idea I Ever Had- Can't (Jessica Rylan)
Ile ma lat?- Księżyc
Amethyst Deceivers- Coil


"Lxv has most recently released “Anxiety Euphoria” a full length available on Bandcamp and Spotify, exploring dream states in process and place, and excavations of exotica and the industrial from the modern era."

Voracious desire: @mixtresss' frenetic sets are creating a new generation of rave lovers

Mixtress: "The idea behind this mix was to emulate my night out — starting off with bass-y and breaks-y rave music but getting quite intimate and soulful in the end, like we do when we go back to the afters with far less people and much worse conversation. I’ve gone from bassweight-y dubstep to some classic hardcore, contemporary breaks and then into some more meditative drum n bass. Trying to emulate the genre- I think hardcore is more about an energy and of love for everyone and the dancefloor to me, than a certain set of years or bpms or amens. I also like to mix the older more euphoric sounding breaks with more contemporary tracks so I’ve got an Intense tune from ‘93 mixed into some Brazen records. I think some of the older 93 tracks I’ve picked transport you into this dreamlike state, because it was made pre having the luxury and constraints of the internet and accessibility to DAW’s so it’s a bit alien sounding. I wanted to feature music that I listen to at home that’s a bit weird and cross genre - there are a few leftfield IDM backpain-relieving sound design dreamboats, all with a warm jazzy hug.

I ended with quite deep and more soulful dnb cuts. I love them all, if not more now - things like Calibre Sunrise, or Gusts from a very, very important label, North Quarter (big ups Amsterdam), and Vanguard from Alix Perez. Bit of a challenging one to get everything I wanted in this hour but hopefully it’s got just enough nostalgia for my millennials and gen z’ers to smile alike."

Arohanui Recordings - August 20th 2023

For this edition of The Bunker Podcast we're releasing @otodojo's live set from their album release party at The Bunker in April.

artist statement:

In February 2023 I focused on developing a new live set for my debut with @thebunkerny for an album release, named one of the best releases of 2023 by @mixmag-1. I trained the set with performances at Bossa Nova Civic Club with Perfect Party Look Book and at Forest City Lodge with Microtones in Ithaca.

Maybe describing this can help you process some live set ideas.

My previous approach to delivering this material live (originally at The Long Count Cycle, then at Technically Yeah) was using stems as a bedrock and improvisation on top. Even though this worked fine, it got a bit stale for me and I wanted to be as satisfied as a listener when a groove sets in. So I decided to go fully based on MIDI information and instruments, with an added challenge that my CPU can’t take too much of a load, so I needed to make sure I disabled certain instruments before bringing others in. A disclaimer is that I am not fully endorsing all of the equipment in this list, there are some caveats that I’m happy to discuss.

In Ableton I created custom instruments through stock plugins like operator, collision, wavetable - these instruments are divided into ones I cycle through and ones that are constant throughout the set.

The constant ones exist in instrument racks and are freely interchangeable through chains - all of the parameters are mapped to the same knobs on my Novation Launch Control XL enabling me to wash through several instruments running varying sounds. I also have stored macro variations for those instruments in case I need some sound immediately without menu diving (like 1/16 note hi hats).

The cycled instruments instruments are mostly from my tracks in Amphibious / Aural Spirits that are all controlled by four channels on my Xone K1. Initially I tried using Tip by K-Devices and Map-8 to disable a swath of devices (thanks One Child Policy for the tip!). Yet I found that the CPU load was comparable with just leaving the devices on and simply stopping clips. This made for a much better workflow.

I slowly progress through the cycled instruments while improvising with the constant instruments and the main drums / accenting discussed below.

My iPad is running Werkbench by Karl Scholz @karlalamusic, a sequencer sampler app that can easily form interesting polyrhythms and is great for anything sample-related, like live accenting, bass lines, drums, etc.

For the main drums I didn’t want to be too focused on sequencing as it takes up a lot of time, so I just wanted to scroll through patterns that I generate beforehand. I opted to use a modified version of Instant Haus by @alexkid which stores drum patterns for four-five instruments. Modifying this was a bit challenging as it is difficult to determine what kind of patterns I think can stay interesting over an hour time period. This is playing Smackos 808 Simulator by @legowelt-official as well as other custom drum instruments.

For acid lines I am using a Roland TB03 on lend from Indy Nyles and sequencing the 303 with Sting by Iftah Gabbai  as well as his Microtuner device coupled with note echos (I believe this is the most CPU intensive part of the set).I am using Ableton Push as a means to do miscellaneous control and Jaw Harp / Mic for some added organic-ness.

I am running all of this through an Apollo Twin Duo and Allen & Heath Xone 96 at the club.
