Chris Clark's music is hard to describe, but if you wanted to explain it to an electronic music fan, you might use the dreaded term "IDM" to encompass the many strange and alluring records, some frantic, some chill, the UK producer has put out through Warp over the years. We can be a bit more specific: he uses field recordings, out-there drum patterns and all kinds of hardware (seriously, there's a lot) to make make meticulously processed music, some of which you can dance to. Lately, though, he's turned his attention to classical music, scoring films and televisions shows and culminating in last year's Playground In A Lake for vaunted label Deutsche Grammophon, which featured guests like AFRODEUTSCHE and Oliver Coates and a member of Grizzly bear on a moving, string and horns-led suite about climate change.

You hear all these ideas at once on Clark's stirring RA Podcast, which features music, as he explains, from 1922 all the way to 2022. Classical rubs elbows with Burial and Ricardo Villalobos, as once familiar tracks melt into new (mis)shapes. It also features plenty of Clark originals—maybe some glimpsse of the new album? The best part isn't even the formidable selections, but the way he puts it altogether. Far from a seamless DJ mix, this one is full of peaks and valleys and clever transitions that'll make you check the tracklist and wonder what you just heard. It's the kind of all-over-the-place mix that captures the brilliance of Clark's in a DJ format. Maybe he should do this more often.

This month's WM Guest mix comes from London-based  https://soundcloud.com/dj_tasha who runs the https://soundcloud.com/neighbourhood-music label.

As usual, we try and let the mix do most of the talking. She brings a deadly techno mix filled with excellent underground tracks and excellent mixing, as I've come to expect from Tasha. Listening to her sets is always a treat.

She has played all over from London to Australia, including festivals Glastonbury & Dimensions. She plays regularly at Tresor, HÖR, Fabric and Fold. She also has a monthly residency on @rinsefm - first Friday of the month 23:00-01:00 BST.

In 2016 Tasha launched the label Neighbourhood. Look out for new releases coming out this year!

Warehouse Manifesto presents: TASHA In The Warehouse

It’s here, 400 weeks since we began our Loose Lips Mix Series - an incredible journey that is not stopping anytime soon. Thanks to the quite splendid bunch of characters who have blended so loosely.

As has been the case for all our centuries and half centuries in the series, we’ve asked an act who have had an especially seminal influence on the project…LEGENDARY STATUS!

For #400, we look back to the launch party for our label’s first ever solely released vinyl, in May of this year. We were honoured to be joined by the release’s remixers, @lakker - a duo whose breadth of productions seeped in rave history constantly destroy and inspire. The live set that we experienced that night at White Hotel blew us away; thus it had to be shared!

Harold Heath speaks to one-half of the duo about the good times and the bad, alongside a two-hour mix of full-throttle acid techno, electro and more

I guess they took down all their mixes, so I uploaded my favorite mix I made last year for Mothers Finest. You can download it until Jan. 1, 2023. 

I wanted this mix to express the emotional arc of the last few years, from the hopefulness of the first days of a new year in 2020, to the outbreak of Covid, the loneliness of lockdowns, the hope again with vaccines, the frustration with continuous waves of sickness and death, poor decisionmaking from world leaders, and eventually just the hope that maybe we can hold on to those we love and find some joy in the midst of the madness and anxiety.

For her live performance, machìna will employ her ever-growing collection of modular synthesizers, drum samplers and analog gear. On stage, she’ll appear fragile; this small human form controlling a sprawling installation of interconnected machines will only accentuate this sentiment. But her ethereal vocals, simultaneously delicate and powerful, will betray this first impression.

Hold On

RSMIX042 - Pascal Nuzzo

This set was recorded (alone) two days after COVID lock downs went into effect in Denver at the Vallejo warehouse I was renting to throw techno parties (including the notorious Observe Denver show). At this point the writing was all over the wall that we would have to shutdown the warehouse, at least for a while, and this set was a major emotional release for me. About 1h 45m into the set the cops shut off the power to the building using a breaker in the alley. When I was outside talking to them one said, 'this doesn't seem essential to me.' F12!!

The set goes through some classic 90's acid and other techno vinyl then into some more recent heady stuff. I hope you enjoy!
