Earthly Measures return with the second installment of their Earthly Tapes compilation series. They continue to draw inspiration from the wider world and bring to you the sounds of artists originating from Argentina, Japan, Netherlands, Portugal, Brazil and the UK. Beyond the restrictions of this physical realm, let your ears nourish the mind and soul as they traverse the world for you… 

Dutch party-starter Mytron’s contribution ’Oil’ provides the fuel for the party as he turns to fast-paced conga rhythms, cowbells and elephant trumpets. These exotic sounds bounce along with ever-persistent energy to create the soundtrack to a hedonistic carnivalesque celebration of all things wild.

Earthly Tapes 02

Oil [Earthly Measures]

A finely-fused psychedelic journey through groove, pausing for stopovers in rainforest rhythm, intergalactic electronica and otherworldly proto-house.

Pan-European DJ and producer Mytron was born in Poland, raised in Holland, then Germany, and has now lived in London for the best part of a decade. His releases, for Codek, XXX, Bordello A Parigi, Multi Culti, Nein and Les Yeux Orange, herald a similarly nomadic spirit. 

A psychedelic rock guitarist who landed in London as synthesisers were taking centre stage again, inspiring his own first dancefloor output, he soon became immersed in Peckham’s club scene as a DJ. These influences and more refract into a hardware-driven spectrum of sound stretching from the playfully percussive and sun-baked to darkly funky electronics.

Past output as Mytron & Ofofo, a partnership with In Flagranti’s Sasa, saw the duo hit European venues such as Lithuania’s Opium Club, dispensing a heady cosmic brew of mid-tempo mysticism. His own DJ sets are accentuated by personal edits, illustrating a palette as at home in Afro Cuban grooves or European post-punk as it is in leftfield techno. And a forthcoming EP alongside Japan’s Zongamin unites Fourth World and Radiophonic Workshop primitivism with various disco iterations. Further solo releases, meanwhile, are due on Multi Culti, Calypso, Budabeats, Strangelove Music and Bongo Joe.  

His live show turns the extensive Mytron studio inside out, using a sampler and sequencer to control his machines and adding a vocoder for good measure. It’s a chuggy, druggy, fuggy ride through tweaking acid, raw funk and tripped-out melodies – setting the scene for an inevitable soaring segue into hazy transcendence.
