July 2020 (Reclosing Jams?)

* INTERVIEW: https://boltingbits.com/mixed-by-fred-p/
* Pre-order:  10 years of Apparel Music: https://apparelmusic.bandcamp.com/album/apparel-music-b-day-10

Just like contemporary hip-hop can feel far removed from its founding pillars (rapping, writing, b-boying & DJing) nowadays house and, more widely, dance music seem, sometimes, to get farther from, well, eliciting dancing. Under his main vehicle, his side conceptual moniker of Black Jazz Consortium or his occasional guise Anomaly, the Berlin based New Yorker Fred P. has been a quiet force channeling the very essential motion at the core of this music and culture for the last 15 years.

With influences reaching to the roots of American black music, UK’s broken beat and beyond, his unmistakably hypnotic brand of dance music is now occupying a central role in a scene over, below and parallel to the radar of marketed flavour of the week trends; one that is not looking to convince but to transmit a vision, constructing a message.

After releasing what is possibly the best house album of 2019 under Black Jazz Consortium, a slew of dancefloor movers that seem to suspend the listener in a timeless space and a series of very singular remixes, Fred P. comes back again with an incredibly soulful number for Apparel Music’s 10th anniversary double vinyl compilation.

To celebrate the release of this compilation and his contribution we asked the equally talented DJ to record a mix for us and sent a few questions to try to get some more insight into his vision and craft.

INTERVIEW.

Coming up next is one wicked deejay from Berlin, THNTS. He is the founder of ESCH and has been active putting up shows around the city for several years now as well as being a resident at Elements. His sound is a beautiful and complex juxtaposition between the ethereal and penetrating, sparking an intense feeling of serenity mixed with audacious, vibrant energy. For the next 70 minutes he provides precisely that — a sinous journey through deep, introspective sonics. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome aboard the series THNTS with an incredible mix. As always, sit back and enjoy the ride!

AYLI Podcast #100 Gerd Janson B2B Prins Thomas

Born in Ploiesti, Romania, on the cusp of the Romanian Revolution, @andusimion’s artistic vision, which encompasses both music and photography, is shaped by the grey blocks of his childhood neighbourhood, industrialisation, and the remnants of a communist era that was receding just as he was arriving in the world. Influenced by the Romanian minimal movement, he has crafted his own distinctive talent for crafting deep, acid-infused journeys.

With releases on Atipic, Insound Recordings, Particular, Palinoia, Stela Music and Polen, Simion is also one third of @Lisiere-Collectif, which he founded with Bogdan Ardeleanu and Dan Gheorghe.

His Patterns of Perception 64 emerges from the aftermath of the sudden loss of his father some weeks ago. The intensity and energy of this set is marked by turmoil and introspection, with higher BPMs and more aggressive mixes reflective of the grief he has been facing. Simion has had this selection of music on repeat since his father’s passing, using its energy to carry him forwards and out into the sunlight again.

V/A - Freaky Friends Volume 1
(incl. P.Leone, Nasty King Kurl, Sentient State, Ole Mic Odd, Dj Swagger, Main Phase)
PRE-ORDER LINK: https://www.unearthedsounds.co.uk/products/various-artists-freaky-friends-volume-1
Release date: 5th June 2020
Label: Nerang Recordings (https://soundcloud.com/nerangrecordings)
https://soundcloud.com/sentient_state

Nerang Recordings returns with ‘Freaky Friends Volume 1’ featuring the likes of P.Leone, Nasty King Kurl, Sentient State, Ole Mic Odd, Dj Swagger, and Main Phase.

The Berlin-based label has been going strong since its founder - Australian DJ and producer Dj Whipr Snipr - launched it in 2016, with recent genre-spanning releases traversing acid, house, breaks, and electro from artists such as DJ Bowlcut, Low Tape, Soela, Subjoi, Interplanetary Criminal, J.Albert, DJ Safeword, Anthony Fade, and many more. Nerang now invites six quality artists for its most ambitious release yet to inaugurate the imprint’s ‘Freaky Friends’ series.

E-Missions founder and Rekids regular P.Leone leads the way with a thudding breaks number called ‘Parting Currents’. A rumbling bassline is later joined by lush pads and a hammering piano melody destined to rocket listeners into new heights. Following appearances on 777 Recordings and Low Income Squad, Nasty King Kurl is next with a raw sounding ‘Lawless’ - a syncopated cut that blends acid and electro with Memphis rap and R&B.
In fine form off the back of releasing on Hilltown Disco and 99cts RCRDS, Nerang veteran Ole Mic Odd brings a sweaty Ghetto House stomper named ‘Hydro Anthem’ complete with a gritty acid bassline and Pointdexter-esque chopped vocals, making way for Sentient State’s ‘4 Tha Freaks’ which exhibits the New York-based artist’s softer side as he layers lush pads on top of a stripped back electro rhythm for pure euphoria.

With releases on Natural Sciences, Who’s Susan and E-Beamz, Germany-based producer Dj Swagger ups the energy, clocking in with the compilation’s fastest track in a bouncing Chicago House inspired cut entitled ‘The Phone Talky’. Tying it all together, Warehouse Raves and ec2a artist Main Phase’s ‘Get Higher’ is a punchy UK garage track complete with thudding 909 kicks, purring bass, fluttering vocals and rave stabs.

Juanita's Mix 023 with DJ G & Aurora Halal

Q. How would you describe yourselves?

G: I’m the venue manager and a booker at Nowadays and grateful participant in independent New York dance music culture generally.
H: I guess I used to be a DJ?

Q. How long have you both been a part of the music scene in NY?

G: I came here from Dublin in 2011 but had to leave at the end of 2013 because of visa issues. After that I kept in close contact with friends here and I was lucky enough to be able to come back in early 2017 so it’s been just over 8 years now.
H: I moved here in 2007 very starry eyed, and the scene was much smaller then. When I starting throwing my own parties in 2010, it felt like everything was changing, which was exciting to be a part of. And actually that feeling hasn’t slowed down, even now.

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.

H: This was recorded in April during our peak-Quar isolation and existential questioning. We imagined a soundtrack for cyclists and the lone stoned headphone wanderers who were doing the same types of thinking. It was Gareth’s first time making a mix and it was fun to find music we had in common for it, which was mostly sub-100bpm and above 160. It goes all over the place genre-wise but stays in the same mood space.
G: Yeah Aurora taught me how to use the CDJs and I used some of the early quarantine free time to go back over music I had always wanted to spend more time with but never really got around to. Doing this was a fun way to reflect on the kind of sounds I’m interested in and find out where they overlap with Aurora’s. Very, very grateful to her for showing me the ropes and to Juanita for the chance to stitch a few of them together.

Bandcamp Week – Ron Trent

Two musical veterans team up for an installment in the Coloring Lessons Mix Series.

Levon Vincent

Levon Vincent has been producing records for nearly two decades, starting in Manhattan, New York. His music taste and processes were shaped by early ’90s house music and the energy that surrounded him in places like the Lower East side and Alphabet city. The explosion of music sampling in the ’80s informed his processes and, influenced by the elder producers in his orbit, he began his own experiments using an Ensoniq EPS-1, one of the first few affordable samplers on the market. He released his debut EP, No More Heros, in 2002 via his own More Music NY. Levon also founded the label Novel Sound. 

Eric Maltz

Eric Maltz is an electronic music producer from New York City, now based in Berlin. A multi-instrumentalist with a degree in Studio Composition, Eric Maltz was raised a trained pianist, now turned synthesist. With an ear for the improvised and experimental, he runs the label Flower Myth, a platform where he curates and produces the muzine Acoustic Jaguar.

Eric has releases on Possible Futures, Midnight Themes, Novel Sound, and Flower Myth, and has brought his live performance to Berlin Atonal, Tresor, and Cashmere Radio.

D.A.V.E. The Drummer - 133.33 (Perc Trax)

Today's premiere is a remix by the one and only Eric Cloutier. A "strong blotter" of acid, the track starts out with a powerful kick and steady, rhythmic percussion before a squelching acid line enters. In addition to high hats that sound like knives being sharpened and a perfect clap, the 9-minute journey takes twists and turns, switching up the energy several times, bringing out every single milligram of acid from that bassline. 
The lysergic belter remains interesting throughout despite its length, ensuring the crowd's attention will be maintained throughout when this finally gets a chance to be played out. The energy gradually drops down as percussion is alleviated and the track comes to an end.

The D105/f3L1X EP will be released on Bandcamp on July 10th.
