Phase Group Mix

Aceedo - Pop Rock Paradox

"I put some love and energy into this crackly vinyl mix for the Best Place in Town!! It starts out more mellow and introspective and goes into bouncier synth-pop-rap, and ending with one of my favorite Thai rap pop songs. Love you guys" - @aniphoebe

B.P.T. Radio 071: Ani Phoebe

André Pahl crafts sonic odysseys. His eclectic selections conjure pitched down cosmic journeys to distant stars, descents into the depths of the ocean and lush, tropical jungles full of chirping insects and mysterious animals. With a vast collection of rarities, including choice folk, kosmische and prog rock, André’s firmly plugged into the world of contemporary electronica. Infectious, introspective and cinematic, his sound oscillates between psychedelic trips, experimental disco and voodoo percussions, exploring the slowed-down heartbeat of danceable music.

♾ De Kat Memwa #53 w/ Andrea Ida ♾

Track ID: @ae-ida

Embarking on the new calendar season of De Kat Memwa with a guest I've been eagerly anticipating. There's always been an imaginary roster of creators in my mind that I'd be thrilled to host in the series. Vienna-based artist Andrea Ida has long been on this list, but somehow, due to my own negligence, I couldn't get in touch with her. Finally, I managed to correct this glaring mistake.

I recall stumbling upon Andrea's mixes somewhere around 2019, and I was absolutely mesmerized. Nearly every corner of the sonic internet space was filled with tropical sounds, which we were also cultivating at that time. However, Andrea stood out among music enthusiasts with her love for krautrock, punk, NDW, and other dark arts and matters.

I deeply admire individuals with diverse musical interests who can showcase a wide array of genres in their mixes, while evoking a specific emotion or association. Andrea is precisely one of those musical weavers. Her mixes are comprised of different nodes and intertwinings that form a unified masterpiece.

For me, her works are always about active listening, surprise, inspiration, and most importantly, immersion in sound, transitioning from one state to another, and also about charisma and daily protest against routines. And this unique release, recorded by Andrea specifically for De Kat Memwa, is no exception.

As I was crafting this text, I wanted to encapsulate the impression of listening to the mix in the form of a metaphor. Perhaps it was obvious to write something about an esoteric shamanic ritual.... But not today... 

For me, this mix is akin to riding on Falcor the Luck Dragon from the movie The NeverEnding Story, only you're not a teenager anymore, but an adult!

The mix is, as always, available on De Kat Memwa's SoundCloud, link in the profile description!
 

Postscript: The mix number is 53, and 5+3=8=♾.

Draw your own conclusions, but nothing is accidental in our world of narratives and simulacra!

25 years COMPOST RECORDS label anniversary - 10x12" box set
PRE-ORDER LINK : https://CompostRecords.lnk.to/25CompostRecords
Release date : 24 May 2019

25 years https://soundcloud.com/compost Records. Wow! For many people, the record label is rated among the best German independent labels for club music, and it specifically belongs to the leading labels for house, future jazz and downbeat.

This box-set serves as proof of that achievement: Dozens of producers, DJs, label owners and companions sent us their thoughts, dedications and quotes.

In fact, Compost is known worldwide for being the pioneer of the future jazz genre. The very successful and highly acclaimed compilation-series like "Future Sounds Of Jazz", "Glücklich", "Elaste" or "Party Keller" are still timeless highlights.

For the 20 years anniversary we published a book - five years later, we put the music into focus even more again: The idea was to ask esteemed artists to reinterpret their favorite Compost tunes. So we are excited about getting both talented young artists and many of our all-time favorite producers involved in this project. Alongside the remixes and sold out vinyl label-classics, there are a few exclusive tracks in this strongly limited, hand numbered 10x12'' box. In addition, you can explore the impressive label history and background stories in the liner notes written by Michael Reinboth himself. On top of this, the anniversary box includes some Compost-gimmicks, a download code (for all vinyl tracks and some bonus ones) and a mixtape by each Michael Reinboth and Thomas Herb.

With the first Phase Group Mix we introduce you to Andria - a young producer from Serbia who you may know through his output on the excellent YES label. Andria also works as our graphic designer and he's provided us with a mix of slow industrial breaks, dark IDM and otherworldly sound design that is representative of the sound he creates himself. The mix also includes some upcoming Phase Group material which we’re looking forward to sharing with you very soon. Enjoy.

Katza is a DJ from Bilbao and was part of the Paraleloan crew that threw parties both in Bilbao and at San Sebastian club, Dabadaba. His mixes draw on obscure sounds, varied and emotive, moving through genres and tempos with free spirit but maintaining immediacy and atmosphere. It's a joy to spend some time going through his soundcloud and we're really happy to have a mix from him for our second Phase Group Mix in the series.  Thanks Katza!

ML is a friend from Berlin, extremely knowledgeable about all kinds of music. Many hours can be spent and lots learnt listening to his amazing 150 sessions radio show on NTS that doesn't stick to one style or code but instead gives you the best and weirdest of everything. Thanks ML! 

“This mix was done under a smoky roof on a flashback Sunday melting Monday while raindrops danced on the streets. No country, no flag, just a hole in the ground. Sometimes the oceans of time can’t stand the fracking.”

Mykonos lives in Paris where she is part of the Bruits De La Passion crew, a diverse and devoted gang of friends and diggers that organise hybrid parties around the city as well as the Zone Disco Autonome Festival in the summer. 

Her music selection for her Phase Group mix is dub-wise, playful and eclectic, favouring the down-tempo, cosmic and cerebral sides of breakbeat, IDM and trip-hop. Thanks Anna!

Misonica sent us an hour of far out and trippy club music, ranging from dark tribal sounds to slow trance excursions. 

In her hometown of Vienna, Misonica is an extremely active member of the local scene. She was part of the team behind the Femdex, mix series, workshop and event platform that worked to highlight female identifying DJs and producers. They recently put the project (for the time being) on hold but she can still be found pushing the Vienna scene through the NNNN party series that she runs alongside Bocksrucker, Paul Uhlmann and Samo Zeichen.

Besides yielding some iconic tracks over the years as Ivan Smagghe or as part of accomplished collaborations - Smagghe & Cross, It’s a Fine Line, RMVN, Black Strobe, to name a few, Smagghe has made a name for himself as a very fine digger and innovative selector, setting a wide spectrum of moods in venues worldwide.  For the 95th edition of TTA’s art:cast series, Ivan takes listeners far out on a trippy ride with seductive beats, industrial groove and electro genre-bending  - a ticket to a no frills warehouse rave (of your dreams) at ungodly hours. Here are some words with Ivan, for the full Smagghe experience.

art:cast #95 by Ivan Smagghe

Interview

art:cast °95 | Ivan Smagghe

@aliciacarrera has been quietly working away in the underground for a number of years. She is Barcelona based after a spell in Berlin, and is a multi-disciplinary talent who works as a graphic artist, photographer and editorial designer all while managing the cult Hivern Discs label and (in other times) spinning weird and wonderful DJ sets all round Europe. She has a penchant for sounds that come from opposite ends of the spectrum - colourful and psychedelic, dark and experimental, slow and cosmic or more hard and techno - and hearing her join these up is always a thing to behold, as are her radio shows for the likes of NTS Radio amongst others.

This week, no doubt mindful of the fact many of us are spending most of our time at home, she takes on a far-flung journey through mid tempo grooves and cinematic sounds. It's a mind-expanding trip that opens with worldly ambiance and takes you through a number of wide open spaces littered with sombre trumpets, gently tumbling jazz drums and cosmic drones. It's pensive and absorbing as it slowly shifts through the gears, and is a perfect catalyst for escapism.
