Karistocat - 10.03.21

This is a rare house set recorded back in 2007 by one of the most highly acclaimed techno djs from Japan who travels across the globe.

RDC 029 - DJ Nobu

The Brvtalist is proud to present a new mix from The Chronics. The Geneva based artist and label owner knows how to make people dance. From super fast break beat to heavy stomping techno, his track selection and production never disappoints and will lead you on an unpredictable journey. In 2017, he created his own imprint Bipolar Disorder Rec to involve not only pioneers on the scene but also share his love for electronic music with new talents, and therefore growing a family of successes and successes-to-be.  In 2018, he joined forces with his now forever music soulmate Chlär to manage the label and always deliver new projects. Today we are thrilled to host this "Hot Summer Mix" which serves up some sweltering groovy techno to get your ready for the warmer months ahead.

We’re delighted and proud to announce our new series, B.A.D.mix, where we will showcase our favourite DJs from across the globe.

At B.A.D., we’re committed to uplifting voices from the whole diaspora - this is something we aim to reflect with the series, with a particular focus on those who have flown under the radar so far, alongside mixes from some more familiar names.

To inaugurate the new series, we are truly honoured to host a mix from techno founding father, Detroit native, with a career spanning multiple decades: Eddie Fowlkes (@detroitwax). Eddie has blessed us with a full white-label mix, with some Motor City classics as well as some hidden gems - all perfectly blended with the smooth touch of a true originator.

Head to our website to check what Eddie had to say about the mix.

Ahead of his much anticipated return to the live scene, Rival Consoles delivers a slice of euphoria with new single Pulses of Information, as premiered by Mary Anne Hobbs on her BBC 6 Music show. Swirling below the skin and echoing through the body, the track connects us through unspoken dialogue.

The coming months will see London producer Ryan Lee West perform at select festivals including Hidden Door in Edinburgh and embark on a UK club tour in October, with support from Bristol-based electronic artist Kayla Painter.

The single is available to stream and download here: https://idol.lnk.to/PulsesInformation

Sunday Jam n°61-Yolanda (James Stewart for RTU 89.8fm)

May 28 will see prolific Japanese vibraphonist, multi-percussionist and composer Masayoshi Fujita mark a new sonic direction with his forthcoming album Bird Ambience on Erased Tapes.

The lead single ‘Thunder', which blends mildly abrasive effects on the marimba with a warm feeling of benevolence, was inspired by the poem You Will Hear Thunder by Anna Akhmatova. It comes with an equally breathtaking video directed and shot by Ryo Noda in the mountainscapes that surround Fujita's new life in Hyogo, rural Japan.

Bird Ambience brings several fresh changes for the artist. Until now, Fujita would separate his acoustic solo recordings, the electronic dub made under his El Fog alias, and his experimental improvisations with contemporaries such as Jan Jelinek. The new album sees him unite all these different facets for the first time into one singular vision. He also makes a lateral leap from his signature instrument the vibraphone – on which he created his acclaimed triptych Stories (2012), Apologues (2015) and Book of Life (2018) – to the marimba, which takes centre stage on his new album alongside drums, percussion, synths, effects and tape recorder.
 
“The way of playing the marimba is similar to the vibraphone, so it was kind of a natural development for me and easier to start with, yet it sounds very different”, explains Masayoshi. “The marimba bars are made with wood and it has a wider range than the vibraphone, which gives me a bigger sound palette with more possibilities. I play the instrument with bows and mallets, and sometimes manipulate it with effects.”
 
The record also marks his liberation from fastidious preparation for past solo releases to new endeavours in improvisation. “I prioritised trying to capture the wonder which happens during those occasional magic improv moments. Sometimes the mic-ing and placement of instruments was pretty rough; things weren’t perfect and everything was done quickly, but it turned out as the final recording. Overall when I couldn’t decide between two takes, I told myself to go with the first”, Masayoshi recalls. 

Arranged with a perfect Kanso-like balance, the unhurried pace of Bird Ambience allows each sound and phrase enough time to be mindfully absorbed and savoured. This subtle but affective work carries ethereal remnants of Midori Takada’s minimalism, the static atmospheres of Mika Vainio, To Rococo Rot’s organics and the bucolic electronics of Minotaur Shock. Fujita vaporises contemporary and classical, ambient and dismantled dub, controlled noise and fragments of jazz into an atmospheric, static mist, which he skilfully coerces into new forms.
   
Bird Ambience will be released on Erased Tapes in 2LP, CD and digital formats on May 28.

Satisfied (Ambient Reprise)

New Yorker @acemo is an artist with an intense work rate. In the DJ booth he races through tunes, rhythms and styles with an insatiable sense of energy, and in the studio he is as prolific as they come. He has put out four EPs in the last year that take in jungle updates, battered techno and euphoric bass, and his self-released Existential album in late December came with a more thoughtful and philosophical dimension.

This week's mix is a bumping one that hits the ground running. Impassioned and uplifting house soon gets you locked before you rough ride through dusty breakbeats, twisted acid and percussive work outs. Kinetic juke and footwork styles and more fist pumping, brain frying house are all touched upon throughout this most wide-ranging selection and breathless selection, so strap in!
