Paula Temple at Tresor Berlin (Female:Pressure #1) 27 Sept 13

We have an incredible treat for this edition of OFR, courtesy of IF? Records chief, Sebastian Bayne. This is the last hour of a nearly 8-hour set he recently played in Tbilisi, Georgia. 

Bayne writes: 

"There is a growing techno movement there. What was supposed to be a standard set, turned into a bit of an epic experience.

They wouldn't let me stop.

Those people need more techno."

Quite frankly, this is fucking awesome, and we are very grateful to Sebastian for sharing this special recording with us. Hopefully it finds its way back to some of the folks in that audience. Spread the good word, and enjoy.

Sebastian Bayne [IF? Records]

Sebastian Bayne is a DJ, producer and label owner based in Sydney Australia. His music is fast gaining the attention of his peers being supported by established techno artists like Laurent Garnier, Claude Young, The Advent and Alexi Delano. His music is also favoured by rising stars in the global techno scene namely Bas Mooy, 88uw and Krenzlin. 

IF? Records is Sebastian's most recent project, having taken it over from long time techno cohort Andrez Bergen aka Little Nobody, in 2010. IF? Records was established in Melbourne in 1995, has over 140 releases, and a roster that reads like a who's who of the underground in the last 15 years; 
James Ruskin, Aux 88, Ade Fenton, Si Begg, Dave Angel, Justin Berkovi, K. Alexi Shelby, Steve Stoll, BCR Boys, Justin Robertson, Thomas Heckmann, Jammin’ Unit and Inigo Kennedy, just to name a few.

Previously, Sebastian was best known for the part he played in pioneering techno in Beijing, learning his craft as a resident DJ in the city's most infamous clubs, throwing parties on the Great Wall and touring China and Hong Kong. Also well established in his home town of Sydney, Sebastian 
has played all the best techno parties in last 10 years including Technikal, Beware the Cat, Subservice, Deep as Funk, Lost Baggage and Disconnected.

Sebastian's passion for techno began whilst at university in the UK where he promoted parties and collected vinyl. He has also written many words about electronic music, from feature articles and DJ profiles to gig and music reviews. He was notably editor at 3D World magazine in Sydney during its 
heyday at the end of the 90s. Sebastian has also worked for Point Blank Music College in the UK and Machine Musik in Australia teaching DJing and music production respectively. And still does the odd tutorial at Machine Musik when time allows. His production career began in 2007 with his debut release, on vinyl, reaching number 7 in the German Club Charts. No one was more surprised than him.

TRADE live is totally improvised, nothing is prepared beforehand. Every performance starts from scratch. We use modular synthesisers and hardware machines. 
We both really enjoyed the performance in Dublin on 2nd October and we're happy with where this Live Improvisation project is heading.
So we wanted to share the recording of this performance with you.

Bunker Presents Norman Nodge

For our next podcast we head out to the Far East, specifically to Chiba in Japan, where the cult favourite DJ Nobu resides. From there the man behind legendary party Future Terror and esteemed label Bitta has been putting out weird electronics, spacey electro and atmospheric techno since the late 90s. He releases rather infrequently, but when he does you can be sure he never does the same trick twice. It is the same story when he is DJing: he always manages to conjure up fresh tricks, textures and tunes depending on the situation and has put out many official mix CDs to that end. From contemporary electronic pieces to abstract techno, his wide repertoire has made him a favourite with the likes of the Berghain crew and Hessle Audio associate Ben UFO, who played with him recently at the Red Bull Music Academy, whilst he also played a stand out set on Boiler Room at our own Dekmantel festival earlier in the year.

The podcast he has put together for us is just over an hour of occult ambient littered with the sounds of the Far East. It is patient and absorbing, zoned out and eerie as well as being hugely organic and natural sounding. Drums only appear in the latter half and when they do, they still come embellished with pixel thin pads, metallic surfaces and harmonic sounds that continue to sooth your mind in fresh new ways. 

Dekmantel Podcast 042 - DJ Nobu

This is the recording of a totally improvised hardware live performance. Nothing is prepared beforehand. You can hear the music being created and destroyed as it's happening and that was as exciting for me as it is for the audience. 

This is a very risky way to perform. 
As I step up to play I have nothing, I have to create the music there in that moment. The audience is participating in that risk and that adds to the energy and creates a unique atmosphere and sense of excitement. Understanding the technicalities of the machines I'm using is not important. What is important is the energy of music being created right there in that moment. That creates a far deeper connection between myself and the audience than I've ever experience with playing back pre recorded music.

What was playing upstairs whilst Luis Flores was playing downstairs. with an awesome crowd in front of me! 

i had an absolute ball....if you couldn't tell?!
:-D

I think I manage to cover a fair number of styles through the three hours, from the bouncey more accesible stuff on into deeper territory onto sonically hypnotic fare then into the dungeon dark stuff.
