Technomind v.1

For those who were asking what the mysterious mix that was put on after the DJs stopped playing outside at the Life and Death party in Art Basel, here it is. A mellow trip prepared by Greg from Thugfucker and presented here as a little thank you from all of us at Life and Death. 

It's been an amazing year and we're so very appreciative of all the support we've gotten as we've adventured forwards on this incredible musical trip together. We've got lots of exciting things planned for the year ahead (and beyond!) and we look forward to continuing together on this ride wherever it takes us.

Thanks for being there with us along the way. It really does mean the world to us...

Life and Death

Greg's Mellow Trip

Welcome to the second episode of Hakk i Plata

This episode is focusing on a genre that was, in its early days, an avant garde sound, but also came as a further development from all the minimal techno, glitch and house that flourished in Berlin and other cities containing well-known electronica environments, in the late 90's. This genre got the name, Micro house, which has short samples of many different instruments and vocals as its main characteristics, as well as smooth and simple loops that can go on and on; actually some micro house tracks last for 15-20 minutes with not much happening. 
It's hard to not come around the one and only Jan Jelinek, when one should talk about pioneers within this genre. And I'm proud to admit that he is taking a larger amount of tracks in this mix, which felt natural for me when the sound he created really defined what micro house was and still is (in my opinion).

I hope you will enjoy this mix and sit down to fall into the memory lane of historical electronica music. This is really a distinct and beautiful sound that should fit perfectly with the late autumn and coming winter.

Ps! Sorry for the noise distortion on the right side. I´ll fix this later and replace it. 

Tracklist:
Gramm - legends/nugroove (™)
Jan Jelinek - They, them
Jan Jelinek - Them, their
Moomin - Doobiest
Farben - Live At The Sahara Tahoe, 1973
Moomin - Time Circle
Moomin - A minor thought
Christopher Rau - Always the same
Gramm - st. moritz
Farben - farben Says Love to Love You Baby

hakk i plata episode 2 "micro house"

Welcome to the eight episode of Dyplytt.

The eight episode is called "Into The Woods" and the title is inspired by the ancient and mythological stories around going into the woods to become mature and basically a grown man (or woman!) for your tribe. As the winter season is closing up on us I can always relate to this feeling about going inwards in to yourself and reflect in order to become more human for whats to come. This way makes it very similar to the old stories, and that is also something I personally have felt as an artist after starting this mix-series. It has given me a bigger foundation to rely on in this tough industry of art and craftmanship.

In the mix I tried to keep it very soft and cozy, but still having a dynamic journey through different genres. I hope and think this one hour of music can be a perfect fit for you who is going into winter hibernation, with a warm blanket, a warm cup of something and a proper fire in your fireplace.

The artwork is of course made by my dearest darling @allisgroove

Remember to sit back and tune your ears for a nice deep listening-experience. Let us save ourself and the earth with some proper listening.

More sounds for train stations. Work in progress

Preparing my set 裏 Yamanote in this dream studio at @jingumaebonobo Tokyo. I am making one song for each station of the Yamanote line. Trying to capture a Japan-inspired sound.

I am now, for the first time, using a variety of AI tools to help me create the tracks. I will write about the process later. But basically, I am composing the first 30 seconds of the songs manually and then asking the AI to continue the compositions using text prompts like:

"Japan train sounds. Field recordings. Dolby Atmos. Production. Folktronica. Minimal classical. krautrock. tape loops. polyrhythms. swing. 808 groove. breaks. Eastern"

I've noticed it's quite fun to make dub inspired music with AI because the glitches sound like they are on purpose.

Prompt: Japan train sounds. Field recordings. Dolby Atmos. Production. Folktronica. Minimal classical. krautrock. tape loops. polyrhythms. swing. 808 groove. breaks. Eastern

Negative Prompt: Western, Pop (apart from the k-pop part around Shin-Okubo station)

The fifth Seance release is "The Last Empire EP" and comes courtesy of Spanish artist David Sierra, also known as David Att. Running the accomplished ATT Series label, he has made contributions elsewhere with remixes for Re:Axis' Monocline Records and HD Substance's SUB tl for example.

"Visions" has a lighter feel, using an organic looping structure it appears more like tool, but with plenty of progressions, it's character is hidden in the depths from sweeps and sparing hi-hat combinations.

D_Know is the label head of South African based Knowledge Recordings and he continues to deliver great EP’s containing a superb cross section of talent from around the world.

The tenth edition from the Cape Town curators contains two originals with spacey, hypnotic, and tribal influence alongside some veteran input in the form of Unbalance from Russia and Vegim in Kosovo.

The track we selected for this DT:Premiere is the remix of “Find Yourself” by Unbalance that has a raw analogue sound, dripping in atmosphere and a killer kick delay. Warm and emotional, the delicate chords breathe over the chunky groove to make this a wonderful DJ weapon.
