BEN SIMS Pres RUN IT RED 114. Sept 2024

For the third edition of Earthcast, we're honored to welcome a true pioneer of the underground electronic scene: Scott Braithwaite, founder of the influential 90s label Fragmented Records. With a career spanning decades, Scott has been instrumental in shaping the deeper realms of house and techno, both as a DJ and as an A&R visionary.

Fragmented Records, established in the mid-90s, became a cornerstone for deep and forward-thinking electronic music, releasing works from artists like Dan Curtin, Morgan Geist, Jay Denham, Chris Gray, Paul Mac, and Jaime Read. Beyond his label, Scott collaborated with Craig Walsh under the alias The Cause and curated seminal compilations such as Techno Nations, Deep States, and Elements of Jazz, featuring legends like Juan Atkins, Dave Angel, and Drexciya.

Although he's no longer DJing full-time, Scott continues to share his passion through guest mixes and radio appearances. His extensive vinyl collection, amassed since the mid-80s, reflects his deep-rooted love for house, techno, and electro.

In this exclusive Earthbound mix, Scott delivers a fast-paced journey through deep Detroit and UK techno, nodding to the 90s while casting an eye toward the future. Expect a masterclass in groove, rhythm, and timeless energy. @scott-braithwaite

EARTHCAST003 with Scott Braithwaite

Me and Ben thought it would be fun to play a long DJ set together at Globus, the upstairs floor at Tresor in Berlin. 
We last played together (as Frequency 7) in May 2013. This time we played a ‘back to back’ DJ set, I’m pretty sure playing 2 tracks each for the whole six and a half hour set. All we had in mind beforehand was to start with some Dub and ‘see where it goes’. 

It was a lot of fun so we wanted to share the recording with you.

A1. N1L – Ice Cage

"It's very direct, danceable club music, anchored stylistically between Electro, Techno and Industrial/NewWave, strongly influenced by '80s acts Liaisons Dangereuses, CH BB, sporadically, DAF and the Consumed /Concept period of Richie Hawtin." is how Hanno Leichtmann describes his new project Gesetz Der Oktaven. "The name 'Gesetz Der Oktaven' was chosen because I wanted something very German sounding, as we say 'sperrig', something technical, scientific. All the track titles are very old skool or obsolete studio/audio terms. "I wanted a completely new set-up, so I got a large Soundtracs desk from the 80s with 16 channels and, crucially 6 Aux Sends for effects." He continues, "The large number of aux sends was essential for the project. I used a drum machine, a MiniMoog sequenced by a TB 303, a vintage Drum Synth and six 6 effect combinations for the delay / reverb tracks. All very old-skool and in real time with no plugins. It took months of trial and error but the result is a very beautiful high-quality vintage studio sound."

Verpolung

Gesetz Der Oktaven - Verpolung - Third Ear Recordings

An intense introspection of sound deconstructionism and spacial dissonance presented in this 4 track (plus 2 lock grooves) EP entitled Nonharmonic Beautifault. 

The A Side is introduced with the track 'Blank Hand', a sludge fuelled walk into dusty audio bites and asthmatic rhythms, topped with screaming hoovers and TV static that at once builds up, collapses into beautiful cacophony. Leading us into the 'Body Molecule' - A rushing pad and sparkling percussion pinned to a rolling kick pattern that drives this track toward a central point of attacking synths and swarming soundscape. The run out locked groove features a deep distorted kick that loops into infinity. 

The other side starts with 'Angular Beautifault'. Acidic Rhythms and Buzz Saw Synths all washed together into a shimmering reverberated cavern that explodes with high powered clap patterns and bubbling 303 lines. Following this we have 'The Burin' - an uncompromising, high paced assault of power kicks and slanted percussion. Incessantly driving and unyielding towards the final lock groove of distorted sub loop. 

Nonharmonic Beautifault represents a shift in Positive Centre's work that aims beyond the delicate ambience into harder and darker sound territories. 

Nonharmonic Beautifault EP will be released on 12" vinyl and digital on February 19.

OLIVER HO ARCHIVES VOL.1

To say that we’re chuffed to have absolute UK techno mastermind Ben Sims as our final delivery man of the year would be an understatement. Over the years, the British DJ and producer has been pushing back the limits of dance music as we know it, cutting new paths for rhythmic innovation and higher grades of popular satisfaction without giving in to the advances of brainless market sound and overhyped trends. Expect a 2 hour and a half salvo of purely hectic, bone-bruising 4-to-the-floor that’ll help lift spirits and get booties groovin’ true-school style in these complicated times. No frills 90s-bred madness inbound.
