Happy new year everyone! We're back in action and kicking off 2022 with none other than Roman Sputnik. The Lithuanian DJ is a key figure in his country's scene and is the technical head and co-founder of the mighty Digital Tsunami, which is an homage to the classic Drexciya track of the same name. What started as a party and podcast series is now grown into the DT Camp festival in Lithuania and a platform that helps to promote both established and up-and-coming artists. As a DJ, he combines his deep experience and killer instincts to bring together dark downtempo chuggers, acid-infused techno and gritty breaks into a killer dancefloor storyline. Lock in!

Bertram w/ Timothy J. Fairplay - 9th September 2023

Vitorio Testa is already a well-known DJ in Barcelona's underground music scene. A lover of alternative sounds, he grew up in Barcelona’s classic goth and metal scene. In his sets, you can find everything from classic italo-disco to the darkest EBM/new beat, techno, darkwave, post-punk, and many other eclectic tunes. He is the resident DJ at Manchester Bar, creator and organizer of Radio La Testa parties, currently held at Sala Meteoro, and curator of the last NOCTURNAL BEATS RADIO cycle at Recreo Bar alongside DJ and producer Carmilla Sioux.

This mix really embodies the blend of sounds and styles that Vitorio enjoys and identifies with, ranging from 80s synthpop/wave to techno/EBM, with the sinuous waves of Italo/dark disco in between. In this session, you can hear some of the bangers from recent years as well as some new releases and sonic gems from labels like Italo Moderni, Moustache Records, Aspecto Humano, Ombra International, Motordiscs, Iptamenos Discos, and more.

The Fall into Depths

Upon your day
my darkness floats

There are no boundaries
gravity bends
everything fades away

That night, in the moon’s mirror
I saw a shadow
Did it wish to become light

Footsteps, knowing not where they go
are drawn into the deep swamp

In that swamp, where even the sun is submerged
where does light come from, and where does it go

Only the flow of sound
as if it has stopped
falls ever deeper

-

깊이의 낙하

너의 낮 위에
나의 어둠이 떠다닌다

경계는 없다
중력은 굽혀지고
모든 것이 사라진다

그 밤, 달의 거울 속에서
나는 그림자를 봤다
빛이 되길 바랐던가

어디로 가는지도 모르는
발자국들은
깊은 늪 속으로 빨려 들어간다

태양조차 잠긴 그 늪에서
빛은 어디로 오고, 어디로 가는가

음의 흐름만이 멈춘 듯 
떨어지고 있다

BAEK-KYOUNG EP.10 | The Fall into Depths - BLNDR

Really showing a lot of Numan influence on this one!  

Today's Interbay track (did you know that there's a never before heard Interbay track dropping every single day?  You really should follow this page.  The rollercoaster is a fun one!) is one of the tracks where I start by looking for fun words that start with unusual letters and see what my brain cooks up as far as some music that I imagine would fit that word as chosen for the title of the song.  

(When you've dropped brand new tracks for 470 consecutive days, sometimes you need to change your process every so often to not just make the same track over and over again.  And, leaving certain decisions to fate--or, in this case, to a dictionary--can push you into creative places you might not have ended up on your own!  I feel like I need to thank Brian Eno here, but I wasn't directly following any of his creative strategies, really.  I just like making tracks with titles that incorporate the whole alphabet, and this is how I figured out how to do that.)  

Sometimes, vast impacts can have origins from what might seem like insignificant changes.  That was what the title of this track inspired me to work towards.  That's not what Xylyl means, but it does talk about the results of what happens to a few specific things when removing a hydrogen atom.  Thus the "remove one atom and the whole world changes" conceit--which is more of an idea connected to "the butterfly effect" than anything to do with isomeric monovalent radicals derived from the three xylenes.  

(The best thing about Interbay for me is that I get to learn about so many random things!)  

I also look for inspirations by trying different plugins--both instruments and effects--to see how using them informs my creative process.  My choices, often quite random and based on the names of plugins I've collected over the past couple of years, can either focus an idea towards a specific sound goal...or it can spread it out and become the sort of mishmash that Interbay, if it is known at all, is known for...  

This time, I got pushed into a late 70s early 90s synth vibe.  One of the sounds I discovered in a plugin I've only used rarely, sounded a lot like Gary Numan...so, I then chose to use the Vox Humana sound that Numan used so effectively from a different plugin...and all that seemed to fit the unusual retro drum machine that I was working with.  Unusual in that the drum sounds it had were somewhat thin and not nearly as punchy/thumpy as modern dance music expects (though, I did beef that sound up with some fx in this end mix.)  

One other touchstone here?  The title track to the "Moonlight and Muzak" album by M--the album that has "Pop Muzik" on it, which could be considered the first new wave/synth pop hit.

I think you're starting to see how this track ended up sounding like it does.  Though, I can't answer the question of why there seems to be a handful of bees that are flying back and forth across the stereo spectrum...or why the occasional brass sounds like it was burned in a tragic fire.  I mean, I made those sounds do those things--but I don't have a thematic reason for having done so.  (Sometimes, I just embrace happy accidents and allow myself to like incongruent things.  Blame neurodivergence if you'd like.)  

Somehow, I ended up with a track that is somehow simultaneous deep but simple, downtempo but at a surprisingly quick tempo, atmospheric but still with forward momentum.  

In other words, I made an Interbay track.  They don't always make sense--but hopefully they're never dull.  

Listen to "Xylyl" and let me know what you think.  I hope you like it (and give it a like if you do.)  You are also encouraged to repost, share, comment, add to a playlist...and, of course, to follow this page for even more Interbay.  (You can also check out the huge back catalog found here, or throw on one of the three all-Interbay playlists available currently.)
