An hour in the mix playing tracks that have featured at our monthly Sunday session - Under Heavy Manners. Running since 2014 by Andy Payback and myself it can be found at at Mickey Zoggs, Bristol - home of Noods radio and a great little boozer. Downtempo, Techno and Dub is the order of the day on this mix. We also play some other stuff, this is just a little taste...

"I'd been trying to make a mix that opened with this track by James Bangura for at least 6 or 7 months, but every time I tried to use it for other mixes it wasn't the right fit for one reason or another. I knew that it would set the thematic tone for whichever mix I'd eventually end up using it in, and I was feeling appropriately contemplative when I finally had the presence of mind to record this one. My friend Sami, one of my other favorite artists from DC, had just sent me a demo that he'd made with Sir E.U; it mixed in perfectly and the rest of the mix followed :) The mix overall has a brooding, but speculative tone to it."

Disclaimer: This is a live recording! If there was ever a thought in the world to what I would sound like playing to a room full of ppl who have been outside drinking all weekend on one of the best rooms in New York City and possibly the world, then this could be it. Lack of sleep partly a factor on my part but fully leaning into that aspect. Vibe and energy over technicality and definitely precision. Not something you’ll be able to listen through very long sitting down or at a desk. Borderline unlistenable is most situations but highly entertaining and never boring by all objective accounts. Posting this not only requires a disclaimer but also an apology in advance to any disruption this most likely will incur to your current mind state. I’m sorry for that but I rarely get the chance to play the way I want to and you asked for it.

Martyn is the finest example of an artist who exists outside traditional genre boundaries. Ever since the mid-90s, the Dutchman has operated in his own adjacent worlds while drawing on UK bass hybrids, techno and electro to cook up singular rhythms and unique moods. The 3024 label head has always used his platform to bring through new talent, and now also mentors young artists with his own Patreon program. This sits next to his ever spell-binding performances in the club and eye-opening monthly Darkest Light show on NTS, which is a deep dive into his love of jazz. 

This week's mix is a 70-plus minute snapshot of Martyn's sound, which is as timeless as ever. From the crispness of Detroit electro to the off-beat thump of bass via his deep techno lit up with glistening electronics, it is a perfect blend of body and head and one full of brazen moves. There's a switch to jazz-laced broken beat and low, then the slow wobble of dubstep before a rebuild towards old school jungle that proves this is the sound of a true master at work.

DMX Krew - 15 July 2023

"I approached and signed all of the first Warp acts." The Sheffield record producer and label cofounder discusses starting the UK label and the early days of bleep techno.

Before Warp became the landmark label it is today, it was a Sheffield record store. Robert Gordon was an employee there in the early '80s, working alongside colleagues Steve Beckett and Rob Mitchell, with whom he'd start the label in 1989. Listeners familiar with the contemporary UK techno landscape may associate Warp with luminaries like Aphex Twin and other names associated with IDM and bleep techno. It also released a lot of artists who were recording in a Sheffield studio called FON, which is where Robert Gordon found his footing even before starting Warp.

In this Exchange—conducted by DJ, producer, CDR founder and Resident Advisor board member Tony Nwachukwu—Gordon talks about FON and laying the groundwork for the Sheffield scene. In 1985, he recalls, it was the first local commercial 24-track studio and attracted luminaries like David Bowie, Yazz and groups tied to post-punk band Cabaret Voltaire. More recently, it's produced work by 808 State, Nightmares On Wax and Sweet Exorcist.

Gordon also reflects on FON's early days. It was foundational to the sound of the '00s and formed a tight-knit community around itself that eventually became intrinsic to a bigger musical movement. Although Gordon left Warp in 1991, his A&Ring for the label—along with his own productions and engineering assistance—defined its sound. Listen to their conversation in full.

The next fabric podcast comes from party starter, party host, and party favourite, Reece Spooner.

Welcome to the world of Fiasco! Ahead of a Room 3 takeover on 7th October for “Midland & Friends”, we invited Fiasco! Founder Reece Spooner to mastermind the next episode of our ongoing mix series. And it’s a really fun one; with tracks from DJ SWISHA, Amaliah, DJ ADHD and more including a forthcoming banger from Reece himself, this is one hour of sheer energy that transports us straight to the buoyant energy of a packed-out and pumping Room 3.

Reece also joined us for a chat on the fabric blog, where he discusses all things Fiasco! - from Reece’s own formative influence of Midland and the party’s origins at Dalston Superstore, right through to Reece’s own perceptions on London clubbing, the sets he’s enjoyed this summer, and who he is most looking forward to seeing play at the club next weekend.

Of his own sound, Reece says, “My sound is a colourful, raucous and eclectic mix of heady, heavy-hitting dance music: house and jackin’ house, ghetto house, ballroom, techno, jersey club, trance, UK bass, garage, electro, footwork & more. I’m really inspired by 90s black house and techno music - Armando, Paul Johnson, DJ Deeon (RIP) etc as well as the sounds I grew up listening to in East London - grime, UKG, dubstep."

"Recently I’ve been loving East Coast Dance music as well as the sounds I’ve picked up on my travels in Europe - proggy and more euphoric hands-in-the-air moments. Think high NRG, irreverent, naughty lyrics and vocals, gnarly basslines and grooves, hands-in-the-air moments, and a cheeky pop banger thrown in for good measure.”
