XLR8R Podcast 539: Ancient Methods

An ADE warm-up by the London-based producer and DJ: Manni Dee (@mannidee).

Manni Dee’s techno smells something like burning rubber. He has been turning out breakneck warehouse fillers with an ear for the unsettled. As a DJ, he has performed at some of the world’s premier techno haunts, including the underground's most public frontier, Berghain, and midlands bass-dungeon House of God. He has become a repeat offender on Ali Wells fronted @Perc Trax and therefore he will be performing at our second night of Amsterdam Dance Event; Intercell x Perc Trax.

3 QUESTIONS to STIMMING:

Q: Lets talk about your exciting mix. From Ambient to Drum N Bass, from heartbreaking melodys to distorted beats: How did these different tracks and styles have an early impact on your career?

A: Well, the music I played here is pretty much the kind of music I listen and listened to in general. In a sense this mix represents my musical horizon - I just restrained to go further than Amon Tobin on the complex side of things. I took the name of the series literally and tried to sketch the path I took in meeting the bass: starting with Trip Hop, followed by Drum And Bass to finally meet the 4/4 formula. All framed by an approach that doesn't care too much about popularity but is much more about musicality and aesthetics. Even a bit of radicalism if you think of Krust’s "Warhead".

Q: Field recording has become an important part of making your own music. As you also used some recordings inside this podcast, give us a little insight please.

A: Yes, I included two in the mix here: one is just raindrops recorded from inside my car - one day I figured how beautiful rain sounds when dropping not too hard on the panorama roof. The other recording I made while I was in Mumbai - I played there but had a bit of time off the next day. So I took a walk and brought my portable recorder - the recording took place in between two streets on a traffic island and I was seriously frightened to death to leave it. I needed about ten minutes to be brave enough to again cross the street. But allow me to say: yes, I use found sounds in the broadest sense in my music but for me they are just a source just like any other.  Synth, piano, plugin, sampler, field record, my voice - it's all just a part of the painting.

Q: Your last album “Alpe Lusia” has been produced on top of the italian alps in 2016. Which future Stimming projects are on the way and where are you planning to work on them?

A: Concept-wise I will build content for a concert type of show so my next album might leave the strict 4/4 formula (again?). But in the meantime I got a family which I’m afraid I won’t be able to leave for such a long time again like for the "Alpe Lusia" album. Two months after the wodden cabin in the italian alps I also joined a cargo ship for a week to build the liveset which I still play (elektron octatrack based, no laptop at all) and afterwards I realized I fulfilled two live-dreams just on time before son#1 was about to join us.

Next episode of Abaddon Podcast with Andi.

Andi is a New York City-based DJ, producer, and the founder of the dark synth and industrial party, SYNTHICIDE. Her own aesthetic combines her devotion to underground 1980s industrial, EBM, and sleazy synth with dark techno and noise - creating an aggressive and dismal soundscape that is unarguably danceable. With her music she aims to challenge the expectations within the confines of this masculine genre, often focusing on the ideas of revenge and strength through a woman’s perspective.

The recording of my DJ set at Unpolished 2019 in Amsterdam.

Kobosil | Unpolished 2019 | Warehouse Elementenstraat, Amsterdam

for my 6th edition of my bi-monthly @operator-radio show i played 2hrs solo..

Abadan Bar 006 w/ Moody Mehran

Dj Okapi at Jaeger Oslo
live recording 04/09/2019

I have to tune the car radio manually to get to the place I want to be on Cape Town’s FM bandwidth. The seek button scans over the desired channel even though I’m just a few blocks away from the broadcasting headquarters. Immediately, the old, but familiar hiss of white noise transports me back to my youth and then it pops into life as I get to 89.5. A two-step punchy snare and a syllabic yelping in Zulu greets me on the other side, this sounds more like home.

“You have to listen to Bush Radio” a friend told me the night before, “if you want to hear South African music”. For the past week I’ve been driving around my hometown listening to the ubiquitous sounds of popular music from Europe and USA proliferated by the nationally syndicated stations like 5FM. This has always been the case in South Africa and notwithstanding the community focussed programming from small, inconspicuous stations like Bush Radio, this has remained the broadcasting practise for the most part of my adult life too.

Every time I return to South Africa I’m always astounded and dismayed how very little has changed in that regard, even when in Europe, South African music is being proliferated by DJs and radio everywhere. The sound of GQOM, the band BCUC, a revival of seventies era Fusion, and the newfound interest in the eighties bubblegum sound had all been largely instigated and promoted through European labels and record stores in recent years.

Limited by constricts like the lack of vinyl presses to re-issue music and the fact that most of the original records are harboured in European record collections, it’s obvious why this has happened, but it doesn’t look set to remain this way for much longer. In recent years a DJ, a blog, a label and a record store has come along, all dedicated to changing this, bringing South African music back home and making availeable on the vinyl format again. It all funnels down to one man, Dave Durbach, better known by his DJ alias Okapi, who is tirelessly and selflessly, collecting and re-distributing this music through Afro-Synth, a blog, store and record label dedicated to new and forgotten South African music.

Hailing from Cape Town, where he cut his teeth around the bars and clubs in the small scene around Long Street, playing everything from Hip Hop to Jazz, Dave had always been known as something of a “vinyl junkie” by the locals. At a time when the format was largely forgotten for the more accessible digital formats, Dave would haunt the used record shops in and around Cape Town for obscure records from the eighties. The records largely disregarded as disposable “bubblegum” music by a predominantly white music media, became an obsession for the latent digger in his teens and laid the foundations for what would later become Afro Synth; a blog dedicated to shedding new light on a lost era in South Africa’s rich music history.

Afro Synth garnered attention for its unique and largely untapped source of records from from an apartheid-era South Africa with considered reviews and articles about the artists and the records sound tracking the end of white-minority rule and the first exciting years of post-apartheid South Africa. These were the talented, mostly black artists that remained obscure for the longest time, pressing limited runs of their records on independent labels that were quickly assigned to bargain bins all over SA. He established the blog to highlight these finds and through his words, many South Africans (this writer included) were lead on an extensive journey of discovery through a very niche, and almost forgotten corner of music history.

CC&PT with Steven van Hulle #013

"[Started DJing] sometime around 2011-2012. I'd made hiphop beats for a long time before that and then stopped for a few years. When I started making music again, I was focused on dance music and DJing seemed like a good outlet for that." - @reverenddollars

Mix Series 001 - BLOODY MARY

Virtual Underground :
How has this Human Experiments story started ?

Human Experiments :
I don’t really know how and when it started to be fair, music has always been part of my life and i was introduced to electronic quite young. I guess I started taking a real interest in djing when I first went to nightclubs. Learning how to mix was quite a logical next step for me. And then naturally from a certain point, the will to express my own idea of music started to emerge and that’s why I learned to produce. Besides, playing your own material in front of an audience is always more satisfying.


Virtual Underground :
Where do you generally draw your inspiration from ?

Human Experiments :
I produce techno but my inspirations are quite eclectic : rhythmic noise, industrial, EBM, basically all of this kind of subgenres in which experimentation and the search for an extreme sound experience has a primary role. I'm also very receptive to cinematic music notably when it’s made of orchestral sonorities and aggressive rhythms, it always grabs me when it’s wisely mixed up with techno.


Virtual Underground :
Could you describe your music selection and mixing process ?

Human Experiments :
I’d say this set follows the pattern of what I usually do : Combine hard and cinematic techno materials with more accessible and danceable ones, always with a punk note. Regarding the mixing process itself I try not to just play tracks after tracks but to create synergies between them. So tracklist and running order selection is quite important.


Virtual Underground :
Which software/hardware did you use for this set ?

Human Experiments :
CDJ nexus 2000 and DJM 900.


Virtual Underground :
What are your next plans ?

Human Experiments :
I’m not gonna lie I don’t have much time to produce, but some tracks of mine will be released soon on various labels, maybe with a press on vinyl format. On the long run I'd love to work on a live project.

Raphael Dincsoy - Lehmann Club -  24.12.19 - We Are Techno Secret Xmas Rave

It's impossible to talk about the sound of DjRUM without using the word cinematic. Whatever he does, it has a feeling of grand importance, widescreen elegance and moving emotion that elevates it way above a dance floor soundtrack. Throughout the course of his career, the UK artist has drawn on downtempo, blurred the lines between drum & bass and dubstep and always imbued his music with spoken words snippets, piano and chamber instruments. His Portrait With Firewood album was a real high-water mark in 2018, and last year his latest outing on R&S once again managed to draw on every aspect of electronic music and come up with something all his own. 

His mix for us this week is a perfect ethereal rave that finds plenty of beauty in the sparse rhythms he draws on from the worlds of garage, techno and drum & bass. There is a delicacy and elegance throughout, even when the beats hit hard and fast as they do at the overdriven and manic mid point. The amen breaks come thick and fast after that, but eventually melt away to propulsive ambient soundscapes that suspend you in time and space. Blissful.
