TECH CLUBBERS PODCAST W/ LUKE HESS

Born in 1980 and raised in the Detroit area, Luke Hess has harnessed a deep appreciation for electronic music and the expression of the underground movement.  His background in mathematics and engineering has given him a scientific approach to the dance floor, using frequencies, tones, and  soundscapes to transform surroundings and mood.  
His faith based music production has landed him numerous vinyl releases ( EP's, LP's, and remixes ) on labels like Planet-e, Rekids, FXHE, Echocord, Kontra Musik, Dolly, Finale Sessions, Ornaments, and Prime Numbers among others.  His debut album was  released in early May 2009 by Denmark based label Echocord.  In 2010 he began his own interpretation of Detroit techno with his new Detroit project and record label - DeepLabs.  
His sophomore album “Keep On” was released on FXHE records in 2012 and received a Recommended 4.5/5 rating on Resident Advisor. With 20 years of DJ experience, he is regarded as a perfectionist behind the decks layering his tracks in a very detailed and hypnotic manner.  
Luke has played at many notable venues and festivals in Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America including 10 separate appearances at the illustrious Berghain/Panoramabar in Berlin. Luke’s continued hard work in the studio and as a music collector/curator combined with his unyielding interest in technology and sound will no doubt stimulate the boundaries of electronic music.

Luke Hess - Tech Clubbers Podcast #334

Surgeon first encountered Jesse Dorris via live streams of his broadcasts on the legendary, independent American radio station WFMU, where his show Polyglot https://www.wfmu.org/playlists/PX mixes up new electronic sounds, queer ephemera, and vintage queasy listens each week as the sun rises over New York City. For the March 2024 instalment of Tresor Meets Surgeon, the pair team up in Globus for an all-night b2b that takes cues from Joe Meek’s studio to the GRM to the Loft—anywhere sound waves hit four walls and resonate. 
For this all night session Jesse and Tony played one hour on, one hour off with Jesse starting the night. We hope you enjoy listening to this recording as much as we did playing the music.

All Night Long at Globus, Berlin March 23rd, 2024

Duplicity is proud to present JXXXO & HERS' remix of “Nyctocereus”. Forthcoming on Cumulonimbus 03.09!

“Liminal Bloom” captures the arc of the dancefloor. Like the night-blooming cactus that inspired it’s name, the EP embodies intensity that flourishes only in the shadows.

Alongside the three originals, remixes from JXXXO & HERS, Conrado Stein, and Del Olmo expand the energy into six completely distinct directions.

CucaRafa - I Can Feel It [SLRX0025]

Here is a Liveset i recorded exclusively for Resident Advisor. Features some as yet unreleased material...

Enjoy


From RA :
This week's podcast is sixty minutes of lush pads and Detroit hypnotism from Glasgow's Vince Watson.

Vince Watson might have been gathering steam recently, but he’s always been a producer with broad appeal. He’s rated by harder techno DJs such as Carl Cox and Christian Smith, he’s released house music on Ibadan and NRK (the classic ‘Mystical Rhythm’), and his latest records have come out on Detroit-centric labels such as Planet E (‘Renaissance’) and Delsin (the longplayer ‘The eMotion Sequence’). “I try and make all my sets a journey through different elements of my music,” Watson told RA. “I don't just write techno. I just write music, and want people to listen to it as music, nothing more nothing less. I'm not a genre freak.”

Watson also runs his own record label Bio Music, which has released the likes of Steve Rachmad, Joris Voorn, Deetron and Ben Sims. Now there are some names that might clue you in to where he’s coming from: He might be Detroit-influenced, but he’s European and forward-thinking about it too (Yes, the Detroit/Glasgow axis does exist!) But maybe rather than genre, perhaps the key to Watson’s sound is his unique instrumentation: his music is characterised by strong, complex keyboard arrangements which gather momentum, and expanse, over time to hypnotic and highly danceable effect. He also has great taste in natural scientists: Sir David Attenborough is his number one MySpace friend.

For his RA mix, Watson has assembled sixty minutes of music refreshingly free of the fly-by-night techno trends; it’s a live mix full of lush pads, Detroit touches and Watson’s own unique sense of harmony. This one flies by real quick.

RA caught up with Vince Watson for a chat when he handed over his mix.

What have you been working on recently?
I've been getting into the heart of my Fcom album, which has been taking a long time. I wanted to do a project that was very Fcom but showed a different side to my music that some people may not have heard before. I'm also recording the next Planet E single and recording a single for the UR guys for Submerge Recordings. I also have a remix coming out soon on Kompakt's new sub-label 'Orphanear' for Mute records artist Turner.

Where was the mix recorded?
The mix was recorded live at my new studio, Biocom 2 – all new refittted and new setup. This mix is exclusive and will not be performed anywhere like this. It includes some unsigned, unfinished and unreleased material as well as the cuts that are on the streets at the moment.
