Very seldom do you come across a group of musicians who are so in tune with one another that the music they yield is nothing short of heaven sent. Art for the sake of art; adventure for the sake of the journey. I am, of course, talking about Brooklyn-based hybrid digital/analog electroacoustic piano trio @SontagShogun. The trio consists of Ian Temple on piano, Jeremy Young on tapes, oscillators, and piezo mics, and Jesse Perlstein on vocals, manipulations, and field recordings. Together, they work in tandem to construct live —sometimes improvisational, sometimes planned— analog soundscapes that incorporate beautifully artistic visual backdrops. They focus primarily on the textures of their sounds of field recordings and synthesized material to bring listeners to completely different worlds, dimensions, and times.

I had a chance to catch them for one of their live performances in their hometown of Brooklyn, NY. It’s one thing to experience their extensive catalog of music videos, recorded compositions, and live video performances in the comfort of your home, car, or office… and a completely different thing to be there, immersed within their sonic vessel cruising along a highway of auditory textures you can see and feel even more than you can hear. It seemed criminal not to reach out to get them involved in our Guest Mix series. What arrived is simply and beautifully stunning; yet another meticulously crafted work of art from the trio.

Sontag Shogun call it A Shimmering Fog the Color of a Highway, an in-depth exploration into what they call lullanoise, and it’s filled with old world music and samples built around the Fluxus radio pieces from “cassette magazines” of the 1980s. In our interview, the band discusses their love of radio, the life that musical experimentation gives to both the composer and listener, the pitfalls of modern electronic music, bringing scent and sound together, and so much more. Their insight and experience with the subversively popular world of experimental, downtempo, and ambient music can teach us all incredibly valuable lessons regardless of our respective medium, method, or discipline with which we compose.

Give our in-depth interview a read and press play on 'A Shimmering Fog the Color of a Highway' now.

Wongo + Jace Mek - Why [NEST HQ Premiere]

One of the game's best new names, Australian producer ZEKE BEATS blends hip-hop and grime influences with his signature analogue basslines for a distinct sound that's dirty, crunchy and always futuristic. He broke through with the Meltdown EP on Terrorrhythm in 2016 (which premiered on NHQ), and since then, he's shared music across many top-respected labels like Deadbeats, Mad Decent and Buygore, where he released his recent Devastate EP. This year, he's been keeping the bass revolution kicking and gearing up for a hectic tour schedule which brings him out to California for Lightning in a Bottle 2018, for which he's prepared this mix.

Me&My (To Bury Your Parents)

This week we have an absolutely epic, brain-melting dubstep MiniMix coming your way courtesy of master sound designer Kompany. The producer, Icon Collective alum turned touring DJ, has a grip of unreleased material thrown into this mix as well as some visceral new classics dominating the bass space. We do not recommend listening to this mix while operating heavy machinery; Kompany himself says it's most suited for a game of Fortnite with friends, but we would also recommend it for working out or any kind of generalized ass-kicking.

From releasing on mau5trap and Casablanca Records to receiving serious praise from Giorgio Moroder and being selected for Mixmag's Impact series, LA resident and dance music newcomer @Rinzen is off to quite the start. Think dark techno, tribal percussions, and enough layers to make even the most skilled bakers jealous. Rinzen's starkly impressive four-on-the-floor productions have been well-received in the dance, techno, and house communities. As you'll soon find out in his MiniMix with us today, Rinzen is on a solid fuel rocket to the heart of every underground warehouse setlist.

Give our interview with Rinzen a read-through, put on your darkest clothes, and hit play on that MiniMix.

This week the toughest ghost in LA has cooked up an extremely special and dare I say quite classy mix for us that takes us all over the musical map in style. We’ve written about the Tuff Ghost EP from last year as well as a couple of original singles, but this is her very first mix for us, and better late than never because she is a one-of-a-kind DJ.

Hardcore Rave - EP

In My Mind

When we approached Walker & Royce to make an album in 2016, we knew the guys were pioneering a new sound and thought they would make a timeless album traversing genres and moods.   Needless to say, “Self Help” blew away our expectations, hitting #1 on multiple charts and leading them on a sold-out tour that’s still going a year later. 

It’s impossible to change perfection, but the album was still ripe for some new interpretations from some close Dirtybird family and friends.  John Tejada re-appears after his first appearance on DB003 in 2005 with his remix and dub of “My Own Thang”, taking a stripped back approach with punchy drums and tweaked synths. Justin Martin & Ardalan team up for their take on “Can You Pass That”, with new drums and dramatic risers. Justin Jay surprises everyone with his deeper SoCal version of “Take Me To Your Leader”. J.Phlip is back with her acid lover’s remix of “Rub A Dub” feat. Green Velvet. Walker & Royce deliver their own rework of “Role Models” for their sets, and up and coming producer Franklyn Watts beefs up the bass on “Love and Marriage.” 

Overall, this package is loaded with great versions of W&Rs “Self Help,” so do yourself a solid and help yourself.

A-Trak teamed up with New York house legend Todd Terry for the single “DJs Gotta Dance More”: an ode to record-digging and bedroom beatmaking, driven by the OG’s gravelly voice. For the second of two lovingly curated remixes, French dance legends Cassius come in screaming with their sample-laden “Burnin’ Mix,” digging in the crates for a nine-minute dancefloor epic that’s already feeling like a modern classic.
