We are proud and almost overwhelmed to present our guest for this week, Steve Bicknell(@steve-bicknell). This producer and artist has been an important figure in the UK techno scene, and in the techno world since the early nineties. 

Steve is running LOST with Sheree Rashit, the club night which is being heralded  as the most influential and respected techno event in UK, not to mention it being the most long-running one. He also has numerous releases on the label that is considered by many as legendary material up until to this day. 

After being on hold since 2005 the founders of Cosmic records ( Sheree and Steve) decided to rejuvenate the label, starting of with releasing Cosmic 035, Lost Recordings 8 featuring Steve himself. We express huge gratitude and respect to Steve for taking time to make this episode for us, and we can assure you as the listener… you are in for a HEAVY techno trip!

MNMT 57: Steve Bicknell

Ricardo Villalobos - Minimoonstar (Full Session)

It's hard to emphasise just how integral Steve Bicknell's party (run alongside partner Sheree Rashit) LOST is to the story of techno here in the UK. They were the first to bring over pioneering talent from across the Atlantic with artists like Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin, Basic Channel and Robert Hood all making their debut UK performances at LOST. Evidently, but not unsurprisingly, the party inspired the generation that came after them with LOST cited time and time again as a foundational experience and influence. 

Creating bespoke spaces, which were often hand built by Bicknell, with the team’s stripped back approach they delivered with the power of their soundsystem and housed ground breaking performances the like of which had never been seen before. The label Bicknell helms, Cosmic Records, is just as lovingly understated in its presentation and delivery. With a clear focus on quality of form rather than hype their output is as typically hypnotic and as engrossing as everything that was done under the LOST banner. It’s also the main vessel for Bicknell’s own productions. 

Here he’s recorded a brand new promo mix ahead of his return to Room Two in just over a week’s time (20th June). It was intended to be a snapshot of where he’s at musically right now, but – after listening to it - we’d prefer to call it a demonstration of the man’s magnetic and compelling approach to DJing.

January 2016 Podcast by Franck Roger

January sucks. It's cold, wet and we're all still inexplicably shaking off our Christmas hangover with the summer seeming an age away. Luckily DT have been on hand to help you through this most precarious of months with more exclusive premieres than you can shake a maraca at (we're all out of sticks) and we're continuing that right through until the end of the month with another slice of hot off the press techno for your listening delights on this fine winters day.

Returning to Psyk's ever impressive Non Series imprint for the release of his hotly anticipated album 'Chronicles Of The Future' we've been greatly enamoured with the man from Madrid's work for a while now and so are delighted to be able to exclusively unveil LP cut 'A New Leader. The machine replaces the man.' alongside a statement from Tadeo himself on how the work came to fruition which can be read below.

"I started this album simply writing a script, I think it is important that an album has a continuity that gives the album a cinematic sense, basically this must to tell you a story. For this time I chose the topic of: "the development of human evolution in the future."

I find it interesting to experiment with the sound and textures of the classical music, but not with the idea of how to adapt a techno track with classical instruments, I prefer to writing scores from scratch for each of the instruments and adapting synthesizers as part of that orchestra . I think that all this brings us an epic ingredient, that from the beginning I think it was the link between classical and techno music.

Besides the classical music, I have been experimented with different kinds of recording and synthesis, also I created almost all the sounds from zero. I have included different fx sounds, developed it with techniques as morphing and overlapping layers of sound, all to setup the tracks with a complex and rich textures, but with care about do not obtain something pasty.

I worked a lot with "the space" in the tracks, trying to place each sound in a particular three-dimensional situation with clean reverbs, also the feeling of "tension" is highly significant in this work, but ultimately the most important thing has been to build on a script written -as I said before- so that the narrative is a fundamental part of the album."

4k Sessions #002 - Jorge Santos

POLKA017 Out on July 2013.
ArtWork by Jorge López Conde http://www.lopezconde.com/
Mastering by Javier Orduña
Text by Natalia Lee
Tracklist:
1- Colors Of The Universe
2- Remember It 
3- Three Trees
4- You Are (Not) At Home.

Polka 17. Talent, brilliance, freshness, depth and groove, lots of groove. Polka Project pursues nothing less and Gale Talk seems to have reached our expectations perfectly. The newest member of the family has left us stunned with such savoir faire and delights us with 4 timeless tracks that shape the new reference of the label.

Being all tracks very different from one another, 'Colours of the Universe' gives us the cooler and brighter side by melting a rather funkysh bass with a fantastic piano line. Furthermore, 'Remember It' offers a more serious face, almost melancholic, merging mesmerizing beats and melody bound to become the delights of the dance floor.

Even more seriousness can be found in 'Three Trees' but without losing one bit of its class. In this one Gale Talks combines bolder elements; deep house fused with light touches of trance in order to keep the crowd dancing all summer. Last, but certainly not least, 'You are (not) at home' is a track that exudes neat and overwhelming exquisitness. Simple yet complex at the same time, this track will captivate the most demanding palates.

"Polka Projects is a combination of circumstances.
It is a heritage, a son, a thrill, a commitment, an identity, an image, is music.
A gift we would like to give to our children, the result of love of art.
For music.
It is so full of hope, with quality commitment. 
Image identity based but above all based on MUSIC. 
It is a net label committed to its public.
