Techno

Josef Gaard is a relative newcomer to the techno scene, releasing his first EP on the Berlin-based label This Ain't Music in December of 2012. Since then he has worked with multiple labels, releasing both a remix and another EP on Stephan Panev's new Komponenti label. His music has been charted by the likes of Cio D'or and his track "Chariot" was named one of the best dub techno tracks of 2012 by dubtechnoblog.com. His compositions range from ambient techno to noise and industrial, but always maintain the same attention to detail and meticulous sound design.

5 Questions with Josef Gaard:

1. Tell us, who is Josef Gaard; what were your early influences, and how did it all begin? 

I've been making music nearly my entire life - I started on piano when I was very young and then moved on to study various styles of percussion up through college. My parents are both classical musicians so I grew up listening to a lot of orchestral music. I had a pretty heavy metal/industrial phase for a while and then eventually become more interested in electronic music. However some of my biggest influences are drone artists - Celer and Stars of the Lid being two huge ones. The kind of immersion drone music lends itself to has always really interested and influenced me. 

2. Outside of the music itself, what do you feel drives your production and dj-ing stylistically? 

I've always felt that music is a reflection of consciousness and this concept certainly drives me stylistically in many ways. When I mix two records together I don't view it as simply blending two pieces of audio, but rather as combining the blood, sweat, and tears of two different producers in a way that creates new musical pathways and thereby bridges a gap between their consciousness. It may sound like a bunch of hippie nonsense, but the inherent ability that techno has to connect and transcend these gaps is a huge part of why I love it and choose it as my medium. 

3. What does the future currently hold for your productions? 

I am currently putting the finishing touches on a new release I have been working on for quite some time. If everything goes as planned it should be out on vinyl sometime either this year or early next year. I am very excited to share it as well as begin to work on a live set. 

4. You, somewhat, recently reloaded to Washington. What was the reasoning behind it and how are you liking it here? 

I moved up here to pursue studies in sustainable agriculture which has been going really well. The pacific northwest offers a lot in terms of natural beauty so the process of moving up here and being surrounded by the unique landscape has certainly had a huge affect on my music. Also the music scene in Seattle, while relatively small, is quite excellent and has provided plenty of inspiration. 

5. Outside of music, what other things do you spend your time on? 

I am currently working on two farms as well as managing my own plot of land so that has been taking up a lot of my time. I spend pretty much all of my free time making music or DJing, but I do try to read and exercise as much as possible. The combination of farm work and DJing has been an interesting one considering they are two completely different lifestyles, but I have come to really enjoy the juxtaposition.

FLUG delivers a superb session for the 113 episode of the B4Podcast. In 60 minutes Flug develops a driving journey of old-school industrial techno, a complex mix of intense and sincere sounds which carefully contrast dark and dynamic layers, as he lets us feel his most affable vein and keeps us constantly on the edge of deliberately bottled tension.

Listen & Enjoy!

Aaaah finally.

In a period where I was dangerously close to losing all interest in the techno scene. When I really start questioning why and for what reason I have been doing this. Amongst all the self-indulgence, commercially obsessed promoters, "exclusive" clubs and elitist underground nonsense attitudes, I didn't expect looking at secondnature's website to change my mood so much.

Modest, genuine and above all represents, to me at least, the fundamental reason behind this type of music. A real interest to just get the music to the people. Josef Gaard was my route to discovering secondnature and his mix was equally open and full of interest. Easily my favourite of the podcasts I have released in recent times and did enough to knock me back on track, with some really inventive tracks full of depths and character. I seriously recommend checking this and the whole of secondnature out.

Top stuff. 

Cheers Josef, needed that.

Some RA love:

DTMIX200 - Grindvik [Berlin, GERMANY]

For the past twenty years, Argentinian-born, Barcelona-based artist Juan Pablo Pfirter has been a driving force behind a sound that's alternately steely, dark, and uplifting, remaining true to the founding principles of techno while infusing it with his avant-garde touch. 

Since his early days, whether through DJing, producing, or as a label owner, Pfirter has demonstrated his talent with focus and style. He's left his mark on esteemed labels like CLR, Figure, Mord, and Stroboscopic Artefacts with select singles, while headlining renowned electronic music venues and events such as Berghain, Tresor, Concrete, Awakenings, and Time Warp. Since his first European tour in 2005, Juan Pablo has tirelessly shaped one of the most distinctive sounds in contemporary electronic music, blending stadium-sized kicks with textured organic elements and hypnotic sub-bass motifs that remain captivating after countless listens. 

In 2006, Pfirter launched his own imprint, MindTrip, which has since become a prominent fixture in the techno landscape. The label serves not only as a platform for his own productions but also for those of his close friends and collaborators, including luminaries such as Flug, Kashpitzky, Nørbak, Stanislav Tolkachev, Dold, and more. Additionally, MindTrip has thrived through its monthly podcast series, featuring acclaimed artists like Angel Molina, Setaoc Mass, and Amotik, each presenting an hour of music that embodies the ethos of the label. 

Having released over 50 club-oriented records, Pfirter ventured into the realm of albums with 2019's "The Empty Space," offering a panoramic view of the subtle intricacies and emotional depth of his craft. His sophomore album, "Altered States," further explores the nuances and expressive possibilities within techno, balancing club-focused realities with introspective, psychoactive elements deeply rooted in the genre's tradition. 

Continuing to bridge the gap between the visceral and the cerebral, Pfirter consistently delivers compelling works that resonate long after the last strobe light fades. While his singles dominate specialist charts, the depth of his compositions lingers in the minds of listeners long after the club doors close. In Pfirter's hands, darkness becomes oddly comforting, inviting listeners into his unique sonic universe.
