art:cast #110 by Jex Opolis

Jexy is around the corner. Jexy or rather It's Me, Jexy - the third album and successor of Jex Opolis' 'midlife crisis' album Net Worth that came out on his Good Timin' label in 2020. And it surely is a good timing for a new LP from the core artist, who choses various musical approaches for It's Me, Jexy without becoming arbitrary but making the ten-tracker sound like a smooth ride through his preferences. However, when producing the album Jex Opolis had just undergone several changes: he left New York City to move back to Edmonton and basically had to break with digging routines and being surrounded by music 24/7. But in every ending is a new beginning and Jex wouldn't be the artist he is if he didn't find a way to cope with the new situation and produce an album that hits close to being home – at least musically. Shorty before the release of the ten gems Jex, whose life seemingly circles around music to 99%, speaks about Tik Tok, Wayne Gretzky, bad timin', contracts with Sven, shitty movies and crucial topics like the won back freedom of producing music, the wish to be artistically heard and seen, the blessing and the curse of social media and phones on the dancefloor, what he wishes the scene to do once clubs open properly again, and of course how the album came about. Also Jex delivers the latest art:cast giving us a sneak peak of the album and its Gem(s).

Interview

New mix comes from Darshan Jesrani !

Based in Brooklyn, we dare to say Darshan is a true NYC legend with more than 25 years of djing and producing quality music under many aliases. 

You all know, or should, the cult Darshan's project “Metro Area” on Environ, with his teammate Morgan Geist, who captured the very best of the crossover between house music and disco.
In solo, he produced records as Darshan Jesrani, Cylinder, Funn City or Acronym City. He's also part of Siren alongside Dennis Kane with many releases on Compost Records. Can't name all the projects and collaborations...
He also made plenty of remixes for the likes of Hugh Masekela, Tracey Thorn (Everything But The Girl) , Escort, Mock & Toof etc etc...
He also runs his own Startree label since 2013.
But enough blabla and name dropping, let the music talk !

Radio On Vacation With Jex Opolis

What does it take to conjure all the magnificent musical moments that help make our lives meaningful? It certainly takes a lot of heart to devote a lifetime to the craft of creating the stimuli that make it possible. It undoubtedly takes a lot of brain power to keep pushing boundaries in order to make it interesting. But we can all agree it requires a lot of manpower, both quantitatively and qualitatively, to render it all tangible and make it unforgettable. And our guest for this episode is no stranger to these principles that, even if the current physical distance between our bodies make it harder for their magic to materialise, always work their way towards helping make life enjoyable. This Newcastle native now residing in Ciudad de Mexico has been globetrotting from New Delhi to New Mexico and everywhere in between, casting his rhythmic spells and deploying the aural charms that suspend time and space in hexstatic sets at every single stop. Much the same way he does here by taking us on a lengthy trip during which we barely feel its three hours and through which he takes across a multitude of soundscapes, eras and moods only to leave us craving for more at the end.

Astral Jam With Paula Tape [16] WorldwideFM

Serendipity is a wonderful thing, and when we looked ahead in the guestmix calendar, a certain number jumped out. 303. A number synonymous with the roots of house music, which presented itself with a (somewhat obvious) opportunity to get an old friend into the series... a man who saw it all unfold before his very eyes in the 90's, and who himself excels with the execution of mixes with an underlying concept. 

Welcome to JD Twitch's ode to the Roland 303.

"The Roland 303 is a little silver box of electronics that accidentally produced the squelching sound that became the foundation of Acid House. Pioneered circa 1987 in Chicago, Acid House exploded around the world and that sound spread through electronic music creating myriad variants.

Fundamentally the 303 is instantly recognisable by its squelch sound. This squelch can be euphoric, hypnotic, joyous, uplifting, sad, dark, cheesy, silly, scary, ridiculous, psychedelic, beautiful and anthemic. This mix aims to showcase many of these shades of the squelch. It is not the greatest hits of the 303, nor is it a collection of wilfully obscure forgotten 303 jams, it's just simply a paean to the majesty and never ending sonic possibilities of the squelch. Viva Acid!"
