No surprise that the records are spot on and sequenced with absolute class. Immensely enjoyable from start to finish

On The 5th Day Podcast #149 - Means&3rd

Ben Marsden aka Means&3rd provided Forsvarlig Arkiv with its 113th outing this week. The Manchester-based deejay & producer has been keeping himself busy with music for over two decades by participating in and scheming multifarious activities.

From dancefloor experience all the way to a true professional understanding of what sustains a healthy scene, Ben has been involved in playing, promoting, producing and distributing. The latter comes both in the form of curating for Eastern Bloc Records as well as his label Unveiled Nuance, which is used as a platform for his own productions.

The mix serves as an outlet for Ben’s fine vision on techno by pulling you through broken structures and entrancing beats. A true joy to listen to.

• Crescent Textures #108• Means&3rd

A steady and fulfilling path has been walked by Means&3rd aka Ben Marsden to get him to the creative space he currently occupies.

A Manchester resident since 2007 his musical education has been nurtured by the city and the experiences that have come with it. First beginning with his musical education, shortly followed by many years of promoting events and culminated in securing a spot behind the counter at one of the UK’s finest record stores, Eastern Bloc Records, where he currently curates the House and Techno sections.

A local favourite and regular of Manchester's White Hotel, Warehouse Project, Soup Kitchen, and the close quarters of Eastern Bloc's very own club night his DJ'ing style has matured over the years to convey a more textured, headier but no less driving vision of techno that is always cohesive within its layers and never struggles to provide a boundless dynamic, especially when given the chance to play extended sets where he truly thrives, a keen intuition developed from over 2 decades of DJing.

More recently he has zeroed in on his production skills with 2021 seeing the launch of his own imprint 'Unveiled Nuance' which will serve as a platform for his own productions and a true introduction to his sound as an artist. After years of meticulous analysis of his craft and the invaluable knowledge gained via the record shop, he has truly begun to sculpt his own sonic identity with a sharp attentiveness to detail.

Nigul/Droneghost @ temple chptr. 3 - 18/5/2024

@nigul / @droneghost words:

"Performing at Temple, at Espacio Perpendicular, was a true honor and a great pleasure. I thoroughly enjoyed my session, where I aimed to create a transition between drone and deeper techno. What stands out for me is the atmosphere of respect that is cultivated at Espacio Perpendicular, with an audience eager to hear new things and be carried away by the music. We really need more spaces for ambient and experimental music in our cities, and everyone should take note of Temple."

Curator and showrunner at Ruido Vírico and Núvol de Fum, also

A new episode of Selene Series lands just after our dance under the full moon spell at La Nature festival in Belgium. But we still found some time to pay tribute to a new moon cycle despite the packed lineup and excellent atmosphere to bring you a new mix. 

For our 47th ceremony, we slowed down our pace and picked some slower jams, deep and psych-y, staying close to the 100bpm mark but still teasing your hips to give us some moves. 

Welcome back to Selene Series, see you when the moon is full...

Mixed by DOC.
