This Week In Mixes #1

Our seventh Functions of the Now mix comes from Berlin’s M.E.S.H. –  a thick and sludgy, irrepressibly restless collage of modern club sounds that beautifully represents Janus’ anarchic soundworld. Having released his first EP on Dyssembler, this month will see the release of “Scythians”, an incredibly diverse and lush sonic ecosystem released through Berlin staple PAN. A host of remixes can be found on his Soundcloud, and have fortunately satiated followers along the way. Together with Kablam and Lotic, M.E.S.H. holds a residency at Janus, a legendary party at Chester’s and radio show on Berlin Community Radio with a history of booking underground heroes.

M.E.S.H.’s tunes feel like they are being summoned out of raw electricity and thrust directly into hyperreality. It feels almost subliminal, sounds are more suggestions than anything concrete as origins are constantly deferred and obscured. “Imperial Sewers”, off the forthcoming EP, toys with hardstyle tropes but only obliquely – they are romanticised and rewired through a myriad of other influences. These exquisite corpses are littered throughout the mix, throughout the hell Janus have created.

Portada: Moebius en “Les yeux du chat”

“Hi-Eso-Tech-Jazz gira alrededor de los primitivos coqueteos del sector más vanguardista del Jazz de los 70 con la experimentación electrónica; desde las primeras exploraciones de Sun Ra y Jon Appleton a destacados puntos álgidos como el revelador “NoBu” de Herbie Hancock. Con especial inciso en aquellas propuestas que incorporaron el Moog, cualquier sintetizador de la serie ARP a sus herramientas, y escogiendo aquellos álbumes o piezas con cierto aire esotérico, malévolo e inquietante”. 

Frankie Pizá

"Aquí en Egipto no se estilan demasiado los tatuajes, pero a pesar de ello si vemos a alguien con la U del Unity de Larry Young tatuada en el antebrazo no nos queda más remedio que invocar a Osiris, dios de la resurreción, con tal de que sea testigo de ello y nos vuelva a traer a Larry junto a nosotros, a este mundo de muertos en vida".

"Porque no solo de golondrinas y anclas de marinero vive la tinta sobre la piel al igual que nuestros oídos y corazones no solo viven de músicas amables e inocuas de radio-formula, y eso bien lo sabe nuestro último invitado, el hiperactivo portador de la U, el señor Frankie Pizá".

"Si te has paseado por Egipto con nosotros más de una vez suponemos que ya sabrás que es uno de los estandartes de ese oasis dentro del periodismo musical patrio llamado Concepto Radio (porque el concepto… es el concepto), un activista de mirada felina y curiosa, devorador leonino y exhaustivo de la historia musical y paramilitar de la palabra escrita. Sus artículos son los que hablan sobre su persona y no nosotros con esta verborrea".

"Para la ocasión, y como parece ser que no podía ser de otra manera, el compañero Pizá ha optado por el camino más angosto y seco, en el que a pesar de las condiciones, si uno abre sus sentidos y expande su percepción comprobará que hasta el pasaje más extremo y oscuro contiene tanta luz y belleza como el despertar de las flores en primavera".
