Neurocrank Mix: Char

This weeks Local Selection welcomes Sub Society to the series. Sub Society is made up of Dan Stritch (Kamorah), Jonathan Kaily (Kaily) and Eric Brown. Three Dublin based DJs, promoters and producers who all have one massive thing in common. An unrelenting passion for quality house music. Their festival debut as a trio that took place at BD Festival acts as their entry to the Local Selection Mix Series today. Dig in!

Although the most recent BD Festival that took place acted as the trios festival debut as Sub Society, all three members have accomplished some considerable feats in the industry as individuals over the years that span right across the music industry. Countless successful parties, playing home and abroad and releasing some fantastic music in the process.

We decided to sit down with Kamorah, Eric and Kaily to gain a deeper understanding of what Sub Society is all about and what house music means to them, among other things. The trio also decided to record their BD Festival performance and have utilised the recording as their entry to the Local Selection Mix Series, coming in at the 183rd edition, which can be heard below too.

How did the idea of sub society come about?

Kamorah – ‘We’ve played together loads of times throughout the years and each time the set has gone really well, we’re all on the same page and our styles compliment each other. Once we spoke about the opportunities and potential of the project it was a no brainer.’

After a lengthy hiatus, we’re excited to return our GoldCast series. First up is Naarm local, Gomery. 

Gomery has proven his prowess in mixing and track selection, not being defined by a single stylistic label. He meticulously curates a beautiful selection of sounds from across the globe spanning the genres of progressive house, trance and ethereal breaks.

Gomery's avid and constantly evolving affinity for electronic music allowing him to transcend and collaborate ideas with neighbouring artists. His most recent artistic endeavours helped to form Naarm-based rave collective Haptic, collaborating with artists such as DJ Ali, Neri J and DJ Spit, to name a few. With no signs of slowing down, Gomery is definitely an artist to keep an eye out for including his forthcoming debut LP in collaboration with Budg of Midnite Snack/Glitch Malta.

With regular gigs at Jaki and @gewoelbeklub , @dont-call-him-molly has become a key player within CHB’s home base over the last few years. Ranging from pulsing House to driving Techno in style, the co-founder of Wuppertal’s beloved Mauke Club honed his craft alongside some of the scene’s biggest names, before collaborating with Malugi both behind the decks and in the studio.
 
An integral part of the @clubheartbroken family, he knows how to work a crowd in true DCHM demeanor.
Genrefree, energy ridden.

Helix Mix 003: Char

BARKER mixes are few and far between here on the 'cloud but we are super proud that this genre bender is gracing our 3024 TAPES series, enjoy & spread the word!


3024: Please describe the mix in a single sentence ?

I thought I’d make a mix in the currently popular yet controversial 140-160bpm range, as there’s some amazing music in this space between techno and jungle that doesn’t revolve around straight kicks, and I think it deserves more attention.

3024: What DJ inspires you at the moment / has inspired you throughout the years and why?

Throughout the years.. well apart from this guy Martyn I’d have to say Andi Baumecker. I don’t know many DJs with such a depth of knowledge across so many genres. His passion for music is relentless and continuously inspiring.

Recently I’ve been really into Polygonia. Brilliant producer and DJ from Munich creating ethereal worlds through sound so convincing you can almost step into them. I went to see her open Berghain last September and it was incredible, like being in a rainforest on acid. 

3024: What are you working on / what have you got forthcoming?

There’s a new EP coming this summer which will be announced soon, and a few remixes before that, for Jakojako and Hercules & Love Affair (with Mr Baumecker). Otherwise, I’m having fun developing a new live set involving MIDI controlled lights, which I premiered at Superbooth last week.

3024 TAPES 005 : Barker

drizle.010 _ PLO man

African Head Charge is a legendary psychedelic dub outfit who have recently returned to their home label On-U Sound with A Trip To Bolgatanga, their first new album in 12 years. As always it finds the peerless Adrian Sherwood at the controls and joins the dots between what the collective has done before and what they are doing now, all with a distinctly Ghanian twist. The signature drums and chants remain at the core of the album of course, as well as plenty of other thrilling new sonic concoctions on keys, guitar, percussion, strings, vocals, kologo and more. It's the latest chapter in a fascinating story that has already seen them release some 16 albums since its inception in 1981. 

This week's mix is a deep dive into the uniquely melon-twisting sounds of African Head Charge. Sherwood's mastery at the controls means sound is twisted and contorted, dubbed out and reverb-rich from start to finish. Traditional dub sounds melt away into ghoulish vocal passages, unhinged instrumentals come and go and the collective's signature sense of dark soul and mystic ritual holds the whole thing together in a spellbinding fashion.
