Nur Jaber - HATE Podcast 236

Belgium's Neoacid label founder @jacidorex brings a fresh new Hard Dance mix this week.

Hard Dance 115: Jacidorex

British artist Dax J has gone from pirate radios, to internationally acclaimed headliner, his unyielding passion and attention to high-end sound production has placed him at the forefront of the global scene, and established him as a singular presence within modern dance music. As a DJ, he is known for his unwavering energy and long dark journeys, Dax played a 10hr set at his last performance at Bassiani. His taste and devotion for syncopated rhythms befits an irregular path, carved from a road marking origins in jungle, acid, industrial and straight up classic techno. To mark the release of his new album Utopian Surrealism, the Monnom Black label boss is here with Bassiani Podcast 104: a selection of rough and characteristically uncompromising techno from start to finish.

Bassiani invites Dax J / Podcast #104

For this episode and for the followings, I wanted to give the floor to some artists I admire and respect a lot. I believe everyone has ideas, a voice, opinions they want to fight for. I believe we can aspire for a better future world through music. Today, I have invited @korvn to record a Mixing for a Cause podcast.

MFC 20 : KORVN – Uprooted In Dehumanization

Originally from the French Atlantic coast, KORVN has lived in Montreal since 2016. 
From melancholy to euphoria, KORVN explores the spectrum of emotions in both his productions and his sets. He tries to narrate the sorrows of his heart and the thoughts of his raving brain with a type of music infused by a brutal and powerful techno style. 
He performed at Piknic Électronik and opened for Nur Jaber and Jacidorex in December 2021. 
He recently released his first tracks on promising Montreal-based labels: MFC Records, Vagues Records, Secret Knowledge and Vertige Records.

For this mix, he wanted to raise awareness about refugees’ crisis around the world. 

“With this podcast, I want to draw attention to a problem that will never be exposed enough as it is sadly meant to keep growing. There are so many refugees’ stories to be told around the world and there will be more because of conflicts, instability in certain regions of the world and consequences of climate change. As some people move to get a job or an education, others have no choice but to flee conflicts, human rights violations, persecutions, and environmental crisis consequences. This subject is in a way encrypted in my DNA because the family of my paternal grandmother fled the persecutions of Franco and the famine linked to the meager harvests in Spain before the Second World War. 

I have chosen this title to make people understand that moving to other countries is not necessarily and always a choice. In fact, the definition of “uprooted” emphasizes the violence of how certain human beings can be removed from their home, country or simply their way of life. Forced by their living environment to move, they don’t choose, they only try to survive. 

This crisis is the most important humanitarian crisis that Europe has known since the Second World War, but it is not only a European situation. It is more of a worldwide responsibility that we must take all together in solidarity. As we speak, there are around 30 million refugees around the world and more than 80% are hosted by developing countries and not the richest countries. Moreover, it is more than 70 million people who have been uprooted by war, persecution, or natural disaster and I feel that refugees, asylum seekers or even migrants in general are more and more dehumanized in extreme political discourses that gives credit to discrimination, racism, and xenophobia. Those discourses are only and dangerously used to obtain political gain as simple explanations for our society’s malfunctions. We cannot succumb to this explanation that has been used over and over for decades when things go wrong but we must act as a responsible international community that says, “refugees welcome” in a sense of shared humanity.”

MFC 20 : KORVN – Uprooted In Dehumanization

* FULL INTERVIEW: https://boltingbits.com/mixed-by-cmd/

Corina MacDonald aka CMD has been busy recently, releasing two EPs in the last few months of 2021; Precarious Pursuit on Bandcamp and Social Factory Reset with the US label Fixed Rhythms. For Montrealers, her voice might be familiar from CKUT radio where she hosts the program Modular Systems every other Sunday. As a producer and DJ, she has performed at editions of MUTEK, Piknic Electronik, Igloofest, and in many of Montreal’s club nights and venues, where she fuses synth-laden aesthetics of acid, techno, electro, and house music. This mix is representative of some of her musical predispositions, setting the more abstract and ambient up against some techno and electro gems, mixing up the old guard and newcomers alike.

INTERVIEW

MIXED BY/ CMD

No Police invites rebellion through art. Born out of the pandemic, she is a fresh face in the local Montreal scene. Her democratic take on techno will leave you with a significant impression and wanting to come back for more each time. Listening to her hard-hitting and hedonistic track selections definitely hints at her entrepreneurial mind, which highly influences her sound. Through years of attending raves, she discovered artists that share a familiar sentiment of art as a means for collaboration. 

She launched her own podcast with SASS.& called SPACES on La Face B, a web-based radio dedicated to the electronic music scene in Montreal and has played gigs for local collectives such as La North, Noreiner and Montreal Techno Cats.  No Police keeps busy by teaching herself music production and connecting with like-minded artists as much as possible.
