Whats this one @robert-bergman killer mix!

Making some good resolutions for the year ahead: taking things in a slightly different direction for now, yet keeping inline with the vision that holds everything together. Tripped out sounds of today dubbing those of the past through a new echo chamber... Getting in gear with a steady pace ready to move forward into the unknown and uncover all the new things to come. When you get to the bottom it's always easier to come back on top, it all depends on how you look at things or how you hear them and act up!

The Other Side 76, Lyl Radio 10/01/24

Cloaked in his immutable den, sonic dweller Marius Georgescu evokes haunting soundscapes that trigger distorted colours of thought.

Often described as "kind of Enigmatic", in a shocking coincidence, recent rumor has it that he is the unwanted son of Michael Cretu (aka Enigma).

Beneath a horizon that is forever out of reach, Marius unveils uncharted sonic territories through his Youtube channel that keeps growing out of proportion.

LIO Press mix #18 ~ by Marius Georgescu · 'Drifting off the Vapour'

Recorded in Turin (Italy)   30.01.24

https://soundcloud.com/luceclandestina [https://soundcloud.com/details-sound]

Italian dj, sonic explorer and spatial researcher based in Turin, Luce Clandestina aspires to create unconventional sound imageries fluctuating between light and darkness. Member of the independent label Details Sound as well as Mutaforma project, she has been co-curating the italian independent festival https://soundcloud.com/cultofestival, and she’s a resident with the show 'Vago Spazio Del Ritmo' on Radio Raheem since 2021.

♾ De Kat Memwa #53 w/ Andrea Ida ♾

Track ID: @ae-ida

Embarking on the new calendar season of De Kat Memwa with a guest I've been eagerly anticipating. There's always been an imaginary roster of creators in my mind that I'd be thrilled to host in the series. Vienna-based artist Andrea Ida has long been on this list, but somehow, due to my own negligence, I couldn't get in touch with her. Finally, I managed to correct this glaring mistake.

I recall stumbling upon Andrea's mixes somewhere around 2019, and I was absolutely mesmerized. Nearly every corner of the sonic internet space was filled with tropical sounds, which we were also cultivating at that time. However, Andrea stood out among music enthusiasts with her love for krautrock, punk, NDW, and other dark arts and matters.

I deeply admire individuals with diverse musical interests who can showcase a wide array of genres in their mixes, while evoking a specific emotion or association. Andrea is precisely one of those musical weavers. Her mixes are comprised of different nodes and intertwinings that form a unified masterpiece.

For me, her works are always about active listening, surprise, inspiration, and most importantly, immersion in sound, transitioning from one state to another, and also about charisma and daily protest against routines. And this unique release, recorded by Andrea specifically for De Kat Memwa, is no exception.

As I was crafting this text, I wanted to encapsulate the impression of listening to the mix in the form of a metaphor. Perhaps it was obvious to write something about an esoteric shamanic ritual.... But not today... 

For me, this mix is akin to riding on Falcor the Luck Dragon from the movie The NeverEnding Story, only you're not a teenager anymore, but an adult!

The mix is, as always, available on De Kat Memwa's SoundCloud, link in the profile description!
 

Postscript: The mix number is 53, and 5+3=8=♾.

Draw your own conclusions, but nothing is accidental in our world of narratives and simulacra!

There was one person who immediately came to mind when this series came to live, Mark Knekelhuis. So you might understand how happy we are, that when we asked him, he straight away said yes. Mark recently announced that he will quit his DJ-ing, but luckily will keep on sharing his musical vision through his Label 'Knekelhuis', and now for us as well. 
We asked him to open a bottle of Iago's Marina, a rosé from the central Georgian region of Kartli. The wine is made from Chinuri and Tavkveri by the Iago's wive Marina. When we asked him about the wine, this is what Mark had to say.

"With pleasure I drank this full bottle of Marina by Iago. 
The color is some sort of autumnal dark amber, and the first smell reminded me to the smell of morning dew from autumn leaves, after a rainy day. My first taste seemed a bit plummy, slowly evolving into kind of nutty cognac hints and dark chocolate. It reminds me of the woods, temperature changes and a fireplace. The wine feels elegant to me, but also astringent in a good way. I like that contrast.
That was my starting point to go into the deep and contrast. By tracks that evoke some kind of cold and grounded association. While being just as much heart-warming and full of melancholy.
Last year I visited for the first time Tblissi - to play for Mutant Radio (check them out) and Bassiani. I remember I was so impressed by the people, the colors, the architecture and vibrant atmosphere. A country that has been the intersection of many shifting cultures. The Byzantine, Persian & Ottoman empires left their traces, as well the Arabs & Russia. 
And I learned Georgia is the birthplace of wine, and that they still use the tradional way of making wine. By putting the wine in clay pots that get buried in the ground for fermentation.  
I experienced this wine as complex, with many layers, and I love to believe that I taste a bit of Georgia’s complexity. 
I also discovered crazy good music from Georgia (check CES Records) at Vodcast record store. This mix contains a handful of those tracks. Plus, a favorite from Daan and a bit of Knekelhuis of course."

That's it for this time. Thank you Mark, and thank you Marina for making this incredible wine

This mix from Glasgow's mainstay, Mag, was recorded at the end of 2020 and there really isn't any good reason for it not seeing the light of day earlier than this. It somehow survived multiple hard drive deaths and wandered in the cloud for way too long before resurfacing recently and finally ending it's journey as the Forecast it was always supposed to be. 

Hailing from London, adopted by Puddle Country and currently galivanting around South America, Mag has pieced together over an hour's worth of sonics that have stood the test of time, a demand unfairly put upon them by the scatter-brained "organisational" capacity of one member of 12th Isle in particular. Said member and Mag have done a number of shows together on Clyde Built throughout the years and are worth checking out, if just to appreciate the unassailable power of friendship in the face of attention deficit issues. 

Thanks for hanging in there Mag!

Episode 72 is an archival dive into the audio works of Kyoto based multi-media collective Dumb Type. Founded in 1984 by Teiji Furuhashi the group’s work includes exhibitions, performances, video pieces, computer programs, print publications, and conceptual audio albums. Furuhashi, who passed in 1995, claimed the name represents “a society overstuffed with information but cognizant of nothing.” The group continues under the stewardship of longtime members Toru Yamanaka and Shiro Takatani. Over the years many artists have collaborated with the collective including Ryoji Ikeda and Ryuichi Sakamoto. Dumb Type’s work addresses a variety of socio-political themes including nationality, identity, communication, AIDS, civilization, media control, and explores the undefined borders of the information society for new visions of human / technological interaction. The pieces on this mix were selected from 4 decades of work including demo versions, interviews, performance soundtracks, archival sketches, and a few stunning solo pieces from Toru Yamanaka. 

Special thanks to my friend Michael Klausman for tipping me off about Yamanaka’s Bandcamp page where he’s being releasing incredible compilations surveying the group’s audio archive.
