Fresco Vol. III

~ Moonshoe selects ~

@lukid is about as low key as they come. Somehow, he's managed to remain in the shadows despite making music - either solo or as half of Rezzett - for cult labels like Actress' Werkdiscs and The Trilogy Tapes, as well as his own Glum. His style is hard to define and can take in anything from caustic sonic collages to experimental and abstract sound design via lo-fi house and blistering beats. Since 2018 he has also made old school jungle as Refreshers, but whatever he does, it always explores the outermost fringes. The same is always true of his never less than adventurous transmissions on NTS each month.

In just 55 minutes for us this week, he serves up a breathless trip through hugely kinetic sounds that could be 30 years old or not out till next month. Amongst the colliding energies of hardcore, jungle and rave he will often drop a pitched up vocal so soulful and emotive it hurts, before racing onto the next flurry of drums. Frankly, it's a high speed mix of hyper real sounds that acts like a double shot of adrenaline straight into your bloodstream. You have been warned.

Mannequin Records has been spreading cold waves, post punk, industrial, synth and psychedelic releases since 2008. The label’s main purpose is to bring back to life and propose bands from this mostly undiscovered world.

Listen to the mix of Paris based producer Dissemblance, whose work balances between pop song writing structures, 80s cold wave bedroom style electronic production, and dreary gloom rock.

Next up on the selections is a great friend with a great collection - Now Naarm based, @grevillegreville Coming through to the series with a 2.5 and a bit hour mix -  The mix Starts with some early morning ambience to wipe help the sand out of your eyes, and then almost sneakily progresses into much more than a power-walk. The diversity of the mix somewhat reflects his amazing label, @madhabitatrecordings, of which some forthcoming numbers can also be found within. Thanks for the music Ya-mez

Very proud to have @whysufar on the 27th Selects. Part of the inimitable Translate crew of whom created some literal pillars of Eora/Sydney scene in the form of a sound system and who constantly impress with their events - Sufar has kindly shared this delicate, deep and bubbling warm up set for Donato Dozzy at the Strange Signals after party at a warehouse earlier this year. A beautiful trip of a mix that demonstrates Sufars strong knowledge of not only how the speakers work but what should be coming out of them..

Pepperprint bacon and eggs and some words from the artists -

"In March, by a small stream in a valley on Dharawal Country near Gerringong, the first Pepperprint festival was held. Over an afternoon, evening, and then morning, about 300 people came together for a special musical experience. The lineup was programmed with time-of-day and a considered arc in mind: live hip-hop, rolling tech house, an arps-and-acid live PA reminiscent of early days orbital, and an all-wax electro set to polish it off.

We were lucky enough to be asked to wake up first on the Sunday morning, power up the generator, and play the bacon-and-egg-roll set from 8am to 2pm, to get the weary revellers out of bed to cement the dancefloor friendships of the previous night. We woke up, left our comfy car (tim) and tent (gus), and had a Rainbow Boss and a dip in the river. As the sun slowly started to creep into the valley and lift the mist and the dew, we had the joy of powering up the generator and Funktion Ones and getting the morning started.

Our SD card only lasted for two of the five hours that we played for, so here’s what we got - from minute 45-or-so onwards; just before we broke our “no drums for the first hour” rule.

Cheers to Tuc, Body Corp, Cousin, Command D, Au4r33y, and many, many more for blowing our minds and hearts on the Saturday night. Cheers to Ghi, Sherry, Rhys, Juj, G-Lyon, and those who danced it out to Soul Capsule with us. Thanks to Oska for being the perfect focus group to run our next few tunes by, and sorry we never played any Shackleton. 

Huge thank you to Kev, to Jake, the property owners, and sincere apologies to the neighbours. Thanks and love to the whole Pepperprint crew. We can’t wait to come back."

I first met Pjenne in the Bookar Crater at the inaugural Inner Varnika festival in 2017. Only moments after our introduction we were hugging and swaying together, to an unforgettable set by my brother Ben. Little did I know she had already played at the festival before I’de arrived and would soon become one of my favourite disk jockeys. 

Pjenne’s sets all manage to have a unique and alluring atmosphere, a vibe that permeates itself no matter the style or genre she’s exploring. Each set brings a sonic embrace, a warmth similar to that which I felt when we first met. 

This mix is no different, a certified classic of dubbed jams mined from the depths of ’89 to ’03. Please Enjoy!

We'll say it outright: as mood builders go, you'd be hard pressed to find a better one all year. Ausländer - the team-up between Wax’o Paradiso resident Andy Hart, springtime Upfront MVP Fantastic Man and “Melbourne’s number one partyboy” Tom Lally - have gone one further than most in the self-promo game, grouping three eponymous tracks for a release on Hart's own Voyage. This "First Contact" version is the outlier, but in its bid to eschew the floor, it winds up squarely in the centre.

No kicks to speak of, but with chiming tones, liquid rhythm and a sort of Rainbow Road-redolent SFX palate, it is pleasingly malleable — we've tried a few times already, and this sidles up comfortably next to most things in sets. Expect to hear it warming up a dance near you soon.

VYG04 is out October 19th – & you definitely should grip the vinyl for that glorious cover art.

The next Freeride Millennium release finds the label link with Pauls Musique for a remix package of the original Emile EP, which is out now on vinyl and still doing the business. Those inducted to add their own spin are Rolbac from Beirut, 959er & F.I.E.L.D.Y from Munich, and Eluize and La Fraicheur from Berlin. The package comes with a fine cover designed by Daniel Rajcsanyi. 

Up first is Rolbac, someone deeply routed in the underground scene in Beirut, organising and hosting his own events there. His musical output comes on Kindisch, Einmusika and Fantome De Nuit, and here his fresh version of ‘Embrace’ is a trippy and deep electro cut with punchy drums and scatted hits. Spangled bass brings the wonkiness and makes it a perfect tune to freak out late night crowds. 

La Fraicheur has lived and played all over Europe and is someone who serves up deep and emotional techno. As well as marathon sets at places like Berlin’s Wilde Renate, she had a residency with the legendary Underground Resistance in Detroit this summer, and is also part of the Female:Pressure network. Her unique take on ‘Greg’ is a hard hitting techno track offset by curious piano keys and frazzled synths. It’s wrought with energy and twists and pulls you in many different directions. 

Eluize is a Berlin artist well known to locals in-the-know for her sets at cult places like about://blank and her own label Night Tide a place for deep house, techno and acid with a moody twist. She superbly reworks ‘Emile’ into an acrobatic deep house cut with a stepping bassline. Thunderous claps add scale to this heads down and atmospheric classic. 

Finally, 959er is a DJ institution and key part of the Wannda family that is deeply routed in the cultural scene of Munich, as well as being involved with the Wannda Musik label. Here linking with F.I.E.L.D.Y, they brilliantly flip ‘Greg’ into a loose limbed, funky cosmic groove with fluid 
bass and splashing hits that really make you cut loose. 

All four tracks here are fierce original versions that offer plenty of lasting impact. 

Tracklist: 
1.Embrace (Rolbac Remix) 
2.Greg (La Fraicheur Remix) 
3.Emile (Eluize Remix)

Interview with @cl_lit:

About the mix:

"I had toured for the first time in Australia late 2018 and it made a massive impression on me. In many ways, it reminded me of a warmer version of Canada. People were incredibly kind and welcoming and I was blown away by the hospitality the promoters and local artists showed me. I also absolutely adored the incredible nature I saw in Australia, having played in Hobart and Brisbane and Melbourne and Sydney and Adelaide and Hopkins’ Creek Festival in a volcanic crater, I fell in love with the landscapes I saw and the animals local only to this part of the world. So when I first sat down to think about this mix, the bushfires had just started raging and the news was beyond depressing to see. Everywhere I saw online was just videos and pictures of burned animals and ash that was once blooming flora & fauna. A fan from Australia sent me a DM on IG, telling me how my song “Terracotta”, as it’s a track that talks about the sea and land, was able to give them a lot of peace during a time that was anything but.

And so I decided I wanted to make a mix that not only paid tribute to this incredible music scene and country and its amazing artists, but was musically able to provide a sense of solace to people who perhaps feel hopeless about our time on this planet. That is partly why I began the mix with music by indigenous tribes from East Timor—as “modern” people it’s sad to see that we’ve lost touch with the roots of our life on this planet as we know it, and I think we have so much to learn from indigenous cultures and their respect for mother nature. I also chose a lot of dub music, and music that featured lots of organic drums for similar reasons, as these styles of music owe as much to indigenous folk music as they do to modern electronic music. Ultimately I wanted the mix to feel like slipping into a warm bath. Hope it was successful. 🙂"

We are proud to welcome back San Francisco based DJ and producer @sepehr-a
Sepehr Alimagham for his debut album ‘Shaytoon’. Drenched in nostalgia from his upbringing, ‘Shaytoon’ pays homage to 1970s Iranian albums that were on rotation throughout his youth. Eight tracks of twisted acid, left-of center electro, sludgy psychedelia, and things-you-can-maybe-call-techno are a few of the sonic elements found within. Regular listeners will find Sepehr’s signature perspiratory dance-floor vibe, but some songs also showcase a low-slung, cerebral approach. Sepehr's unique sonic palette carves an interesting space in the dance music world by harnessing the spirit of his cultural ancestors. The artwork pays tribute to ‘70s Iranian pop and funk albums with bold Farsi calligraphy and portraits by Sahra Jajarmikhayat. In relation to the music, the album cover creates a dichotomy much like Throbbing Gristle's ’20 Funk Jazz Greats’. Berakhs (Dance).

Click here for the interview with DJ Earl Grey melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/dj-earl-grey

Finishing the working week with a mix of truly beautiful sounds thanks to one of Australia's very best music selectors, DJ @earlgreyradio! A true purveyor of introspective cuts that can transcend the dance floor and recalibrate the mind/body/soul, Nik Thorup has to be one of the deepest diggers we've encountered, specialising in nostalgic genre benders and soothing ambient, downtempo and dubby grooves of all shapes and sizes.

For this episode we're found gently swaying between 160bpm D'n'B atmospheres and majestic moody vocal cuts, perfect to wind down or ease into your weekend with. We also caught up with Nik to chat about his label @besteffort and the imminent closing of Sydney's iconic underground music venue Freda's, where he worked both as a booker and threw parties with Rimbombo over the years.

Interview

MDC.255 DJ Earl Grey

I recorded this mix from my home during the hard-lockdown. I didn’t set out to record a mix that day, it was a very spontaneous idea. I managed to record this mix in one take. I think it was a true moment of meditation for me. 

I (like most people) lost almost everything that provided me with security this year. It’s been a strange and disorientating time. Basically, just completely overwhelming.

Music played a subtle but important role in helping me cope during this time. Generally, in times of low mental health, I gravitate towards music that I would consider as ‘emotional’. Sometimes I just want something to relate to. Something to validate me. Often music does this for me. Music also has the power to transport me to a time and place. Music is nostalgic, and in a year like 2020, all I seemed to do was to daydream about where I would rather be. 
 
The music in this mix was a way for me to transport to another place in time. A sunny Saturday morning somewhere else.

In The Mix With CTF - DJ Ingrid

I am so happy to share this new mix with you by the lovely Dwayne aka @parris_dj

The last mix of 2020 comes from Jonah Sharp (@reflecto), electronic mainstay and part of 'Virtual Dreams' as Space Time Continuum. Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Welcome to the series Jonah. Originally from Edinburgh, San Francisco resident since 1992, do you still live in San Francisco?

JS: Actually I recently just moved back to SF after spending most of 2020 in the UK. I had planned to be in Europe for an extended break from the US but Covid saw an end to that and my plans had to change. I miss British and European culture. I have family and friends there so I intend to be back over as soon as I can!

MFM: According to your discography the majority of your output started to shape up right after you moved abroad, in '91. How would you explain this creative outburst? 

JS: Before I arrived in San Francisco i was still figuring out how to produce the music that I wanted to make so when I got here I started to collect gear in earnest - it was a little moment in time when most people thought analog synths and drums sounded shit so I managed to find a TR-909 for $150, a Roland SH101 at the flea market and so on. So yes, suddenly having some decent gear and fun gigs to play was very inspiring! I did feel a kind of creative freedom being so far from South London and the pressures of living there as an artist. SF in the 90’s was very affordable for artists and it gave us the freedom to really focus on the music.
 
MFM: You started your own label Reflective in '93 and had quite a busy release schedule, especially during '95/'96, before it suddenly seemed to stop right after. What happened? 

JS: I started Reflective in '93, the year my first son was born. Flurescence EP was my first solo release and it got noticed around the world so that enabled me to keep putting releases out. With the momentum of the Terence McKenna collab album, things were going pretty well. But what we found was that even though there are lots of amazing labels in the US, it was actually pretty hard to sell them domestically so most of our stock was exported to Europe and Japan. We ended up pressing in the UK and running the label from SF and that presented problems so I had to put the release schedule on hold. At that time I had also signed a deal with Astralwerks so had contractual obligations to deliver albums and tour. It was a very busy time and by 1997 when our second son was born we decided to take a hiatus from the label. Not to say the label is gone forever though!
 
MFM: Flurescence, now found its way to the Virtual Dreams compilation, almost 30 years later. How does it feel that your older music is being re-released and rediscovered by newer generations?

JS: I am very happy and honored to be part of the Virtual Dreams compilation. Yes, there seems to be a bit of attention for this time period of electronic music at the moment, and the chill out thing in general. With so many online resources, everything is discoverable by anyone so all those tiny labels like Reflective that were putting out small runs of 1000 records (that was a small run then) are maybe enjoying some retroactive attention now. 
 
MFM: Does this new interest change your motivation and/or inspiration in the studio maybe?

JS: I follow my own interests and direction when it comes to making music but reaching new audiences has to gratify the artist whose work was made for sharing. My development as an electronic musician has come through thirty years of studio experimentation, initially with hardware and then incorporating digital software. When I made Fluorescence in 1993 there was no computer in my studio, but by the early 2000s San Francisco was the epicenter of computer innovation, people like my friend Josh Clayton were writing amazing software and so I went off on a long exploratory trip to integrate digital technology both in my studio and in my live rig. My aim right now in the studio is the same as always: make sounds and keep the good ones.

A new Safe season has begun. This one turned out slightly different and longer than anticipated since I have so much to say. Wanted to highlight a tiny bit of the amazing music out there - almost 5 hours of different styles, tempos, old records and forthcoming ones. Just how I personally like a mix to be!

BIG thanks to the following people for keeping me inspired, their music and continuous support:

Natal, Milan, Mathias, Mette, Simon, Nils, August, JR, Julius, Fergus, Morten, FH, Martin & Mads (Probably missed someone, but you are not forgotten!)

Last but not least - thank you for listening.
