Stathis Kalatzis | Memory Burn | Stegi Radio

2020 was the year that dancefloors emptied around the world. This episode is a tribute to club music that came out that year and didn’t test a sound system. In a fast paced, trend recycling environment, terms such as longevity and ephemerality gain a new meaning: how old or new is a tune that was released almost two years ago if you never danced to it? Props to all the producers and labels that kept the fire burning regardless of the unprecedented circumstances surrounding the culture world then and yet once again.

The latest instalment focuses on low end bpm juggling where anything goes below 100 and over 150. A Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde atmosphere, reflecting the optimism and dreams of a new year vs January’s blues amplified yet again by empty dance floors.

Halfway through the residency, this one focuses on percussive slicing and dicing, from ethereal and up-tempo to borderline bonkers, in the 100 -150 bpm vortex.

Next up: an introspective sonic narration informed by disheartening geopolitical affairs, blissful escapism, those voices in your head that keep you awake at night and the (mis)conception that everything – in the end – will be alright.

Dub music and its production values has been a well of inspiration for many a musical genre. This first episode is an homage to its footprint on techno, house and club music in general, and how a plethora of producers from different eras around the world interpreted its influence. Two hours of reverbs and delays, hisses and crackles, subtle variations and a sense of stasis not unlike autumn itself when there is a moment that time has almost frozen in its own melancholy.
