Monument Midwinter Recordings by Ntogn

Exploring the deepest face of electronic music from ambience to techno, Salva Coromina or @mousedown_up is a regular DJ on the Barcelona scene since the late 90s. Doing live shows as ABSIS he also publishes on labels such as @hivern_disc and @on-board-music. Please, embark on Black Wave podcast no. 36 by mouseDown.

So soft and quiet hum comes from underneath, unusually so. This seemingly harmonious sound cuts short interrupted more and more with a voice that’s getting louder and louder. The voice of an infinite sea – the waves crumbling in the distance. Inaccessible to one eye, hidden in the mix of fog and night the only path to safety lies. Ceaseless bursts of light pierce through to guide you across the maze of rocks that lurk below the surface for all but a few hours at low tide. Lighthouse keeper stands guard to fare you well during your journey in the night.

Black Wave 036 - mouseDown

Earlier this year Artefakt released a new album via Delsin, a striking collection of pensive electronics and techno which was designed as much to humble the independent listener as it was to intrigue on the dancefloor.

The Berlin based pair have become well known and acclaimed for their unique take on techno, often channeling deep ethereal soundscapes and melody atop rugged drums and percussion.

Over the years they have released material via the likes of Sungate, Konstrukt and Semantica Records. It is however Delsin where they appear to have made themselves most at home, releasing material which sits between worlds and defies the notion that techno might need to be rigid 4/4 focussed club music. 

We've featuured the pair several times previously. However, this is the first time that they have recorded a mix for the website, a special occassion given the scarcity of these sets.

RADIO.D59B / DEEPARTMENT - Spring #2 w/ Claudio PRC

• Crescent Textures #109• Yuka

A masterful innovator whose career in music has spanned two decades and numerous corners of the globe, Yuka is – above all – a storyteller, a creator of energies, a musical shaman whose vivid and visceral sets are capable of opening gateways to trancelike states.

DJing since 1999, she has in fact been deeply beholden to music in all its forms since she was a young child, when she first uncovered its unique ability to create and intensify emotional experiences, to express, and to effortlessly give rise to a mental and physical space of peace and tranquillity.

From her first DJ sets in Moscow, which came about almost by accident, she quickly rose. Her first release on Fullpanda in 2008 saw her become a resident of that label and later her music released on well known Silent Season, Semantica, Edit Select, Kabalion (Hypnus) and others.

As prodigiously talented as a producer as she is behind the decks, Yuka has never strayed from her own artistic and personal path, in the process bringing us irresistibly along with her.

Accompanying this mix, our in-house journalist, Smoki, posed some questions to Claudio on his approach to warming up a dance-floor. We hope you enjoy what you read and hear.

Claudio PRC is a favourite amongst the entire team at FOLD. As the first DJ playing at the Semantica Records night he set a perfect tone for our dancers and his label compatriots. From listening to this set you can clearly hear the passion Claudio has for his choice of music. We relish the opportunity to allow DJ's like Claudio to comfortably perform exactly the way they want. Accompanying this mix, we posed some questions to Claudio on his approach to warming up a dance-floor. We hope you enjoy what you hear.

Thanks for agreeing to this interview Claudio. Your recent warm up set at FOLD was a masterclass in how to get a deep techno party started. First, I'd love to ask what you thought of FOLD?

When I played for the first time at FOLD I was amazed by the structure. A warehouse which totally represents the true underground spirit in London. Finally, something that the city absolutely needed...for my past experiences! How it was made and managed is very pure, a community completely devoted to our culture. The sound system and its DJ booth is perfectly made and curated, along with the LED wall and lighting system. I always feel comfortable playing there.

How do you prepare your warm up set? Do you mix in a different way when playing at this time?

When I prepare a warm up set I want to start from a primordial sound. Like concrete sounds. In general, field recordings related to a specific experience or a specific place - which in that time - are inspiring me most. Then slowly I like to add synthetic sounds, beat-less, mainly drones with dilated elements, long pads and wrapping atmospheres aimed to create an imaginary life to the room. A frame, an imaginary soundscape. Always slowly, I start to add percussive elements and rhythms, some melodies, trying to reach a point where the groove can come in. The method of mixing is very deep and dilated in space, aimed at creating the right climax

In your opinion, what makes a great warm up set?

The warm up set is the most important part of the party. It’s the beginning of the story of the night, so it leads the night in a specific way. From my point of view the opening set must give to the people the proper welcome in the club. I like warm welcomes, so as a dancer I would love to be hugged by the music with warm and pleasant sounds, to let my ears adapt to the sound system and to be comfortable with the space and with the other dancers. Another very important thing is to be respectful to the artist who is playing after, to leave to him/her a proper key to start his/her performance as best as possible. It’s important to really know who is playing after and to listen to a lot of his/her music!

Tell me about playing to audiences in London, Claudio.

For a couple of years I’ve been playing regularly in London and during this time I was able to build a passionate crowd who constantly come to my gigs because they want to listen to a certain type of music and to have a deeper experience. It's beautiful to see in the last years how deep music has created a common sense of party all over the world! London is undoubtedly part of this scene, it’s a community which is linked to each other and I am very happy for this.

Lastly, I’d like to find out which producers or DJ’s are really exciting you right now?

Thank you so much for giving me the possibility to tell you my point of view on this topic which I love so much. I've been impressed in the last couple of years by my dear friend Luigi Tozzi. He is a young talent but he already has great maturity on all these things we discussed here. Both his productions and his DJ sets are an example of how something should be done properly. If you don’t know, I totally recommend!

Thanks for the taking time to answer these questions Claudio!
