Ancient Methods

TF #270: @mind666matter [@egonlab]

Mind | Matter is the main musical project of french artist Théo Ferretti. Born and raised in Paris, M|M aims to fuse his post-punk roots with shades of electronic body music, martial industrial and mystic techno rhythms. After making his place on the french industrial scene he joined RAW Agency and released on labels such as Detriti Records, Intervision, Forbidden Teachings, EGONlab, Crave Tapes & others. His sound can be described as a melt of darkness and poetry, an encounter between chaos and romanticism.

Ancient Methods - HATE Podcast 253

Baudelaires poetries remain one of the most influential centrepieces in my book collection and they are maybe my most re-read volume of poems. Like all great poets he was an acute observer and an ingenious translator of feelings. His words paint precise and poignant pictures of the shapeless and inenarrable, like a mood or a sentiment. Sometimes only music can have the same effect on me. However, the fascination and the bloom of „Les Fleurs du Mal“ goes beyond that. Baudelaire's observations, could be considered overall as „negative“, for example as pessimistic - like the unfulfilled human pursuit of integrity -, or as repulsive - like the tristesse of urban hedonism. Induced by the linguistic beauty the emotional experiencing of the seemingly „negative“ or „evil“ - which in some places of the book can be kind of an explicit sense of self - transforms into a bittersweet atmosphere that holds grace and grandeur. Here I see a strong commonality with some music I love and I feel there is a similar approach entire music genres might have pursued: Maybe more than other art forms, music is sometimes met with refusal, confusion and lack of understanding when things become aestheticised, that are distasteful, obnoxious, cruel or - to stay with Baudelaire - „evil“. But behind all this stands a reality, the musician as an acute observer is witness to. Ars longa, vita brevis.

This mix, rather a sound collage, is meant to sonically illustrate the pictures Baudelaire put in my mind; sometimes a direct reflection of the texts, sometimes a associative pairing to the feelings Baudelaire's words elicit. Many thanks to my speakers M’hmed (Znzl), Marie-Emmanuelle, Ronan (NZM99), Ruby, Sébastien (Hørd), Sébastien (UVB), Sydney Valette, Theo (Mind | Matter). Without you it would not have been possible to materialise the concept. Many thanks to Marie-Emmanuelle for sparking the initial idea.

HÖR DJ Set 7 March 2023

English:
Ancient Methods was born from the union of Conrad Protzmann and Michael Wollenhaupt, two Germans dedicated to produce techno without any kind of complexes who also sign their solo works as Baeks and Trias. Eventually, and after the departure of Wollenhaupt, Protzmann decides to stay with the solo project.

His career, based on the release of several EPs, most of them on his own label of the same name, begins to atomize with collaborations on other publishing platforms such as Sonic Groove, RSB, Fondation Sonore, aufnahme + wiedergabe or Hands Productions.

Ancient Methods b2b Phase Fatale @ 3 YEARS of PAX-ROMANA | 2024.06.30

The Fifth Stigma is an industrial and esoteric project by French-American artist Rodolphe Vidal. Through music, Vidal explores fictive history and forgotten wonders.

Unlike contemporary techno, The Fifth Stigma produces slow, heavy, and raw metallic techno influenced by history, emotions, and obscure world music. This project aims to stand out in a fast-paced, homogenized musical landscape.

Vidal creates intimate sonic atmospheres filled with captivating imagery and explores diverse sounds, from ritualistic elements to techno, noise, and punk electronics. The sets feature a range of genres, including techno, EBM, and unconventional club electronics, each telling a unique story.

Ancient Methods — #YOUCANSTILLLISTEN Mix Series #19

<< For event or podcast bookings please send me a DM. I mix Techno because I love the sound, and I certainly would share that with anyone interested. I've been doing this for 33 years now simply so that I could always be as hands-on with the Techno I love, experiment with it, and enjoy it in as many ways as possible. >>


♫ ♫ ♫ ♫


Techno, Art, and Technology. 


I've been involved in Techno since early 1993, and spent a lot of time between 92' and 01' driving from Boston to NYC (and back) chasing a specific sound, and as it turned out was able to be a part of some pretty memorable Techno events. Many warehouse parties hosted by Sonic Groove, Mental Unity / Electronik Underground, and others throughout those decades. 


After 2001 the Techno scene pretty much collapsed for a few years in NYC, due to issues related to the Sept 11th attacks, such as artists having issues obtaining a US visas, the world economy, pointless wars, and a collectively paranoid government. Boston (my home) never really had a well established Techno scene before 2012 or so. 


My first, honest introduction to underground Techno began in 1993, Manchester N.H. Thanks to N.E.A.U. ("New England Acid Underground", circa 1993-95) which then became N.E.W. ("New England Works", circa 1995-2001) which focused on pure, underground Techno sound & experience by hosting many epic, outlaw warehouse parties, and formed a solid base for a diverse group of people, from various backgrounds, many of which I had grown close to in those years. 


This collectively represented what I felt was my "home base" at the time, fulfilling my strict preferences within electronic music, and of course the quality of the people, & the Techno experience. A good link with the Sonic Groove crew down in NYC between 1993 and 2000 had been forged through great events rooted in a "music & human experience first" approach and purpose. I learned a lot about music, DJing & the beauty of pure Techno's hands-on approach, adaptability, & re-usablity. 


Pure Techno is a powerful, "language agnostic" form of communication and connection via a shared emotional journey that's tethered to the art of sound. Without any single person needing to say a word, a true collective experience is often realized. 


I'll never forget that early Manchester, NH scene, or all of the people involved that helped to establish it each in their own way, nor will I forget all of the amazing people in New York City who welcomed us, shared with us some unbelievable sounds, hosted some of the most memorable events, and hosted such a dizzying array of talented artists from around the globe. 


I'm still plugged into Techno today, of course, & it's health is better than ever. But established collectives are harder to come by in Boston, & many from NYC have moved on to Europe where they can make a living and thrive in it's long-established Techno scenes. 


Thankfully one of the most active and Techno focused groups has been doing great things in the Boston area over the last six or seven years or so (INFRA Boston), and doing more than I can recall being done in the last 30 years for sure. It is good to know that after so many decades, Techno is still breaking new ground in places like Boston.


I've been quite active in releasing recorded sets of my own, of online live-streams, home mixes, mixes inspired by friends, by shared experiences over three-plus decades. 


I started DJing thirty two years ago because I feel in love with pure Techno. That motivation is as strong toda. y
