Swiss producer Robin Félix (@felixfelixrobin) steps up to deliver the 377th edition of the IA MIX Series, interweaving a multi-rhythmic mix of textural ambient, breakbeat, IDM and experimental electronica.

Based out of the Swiss town of Biel/Bienne, Robin Félix is a self described audio naturalist, employing found sounds as the basis of his productions upon which he implies a strict rule to use at least 80% of field recording in his music. He then twists, skewers and manipulates these sounds to create the most mesmerising of sculptural sound-fields incorporating swirling radial ambiance and intricate drum work.

Mastered by Italian producer Neel, 'Senselessness 1/2' EP is a beautifully crafted vinyl, presented in gold Risograph artwork designed by Lisa Vatan - inspired by the ancient Japanese paper marbling technique of Suminagashi. With such a bold debut effort, we just had to find out more about the makings of it.

In our interview, Robin sheds light on his musical background and penchant for field recordings as well as his minimalist production technique. We also find out more about his partner's process behind the artwork and what they have planned in the near future for their freshly established record label De l'aube.

IA MIX SERIES

INTERVIEW

IA MIX 377 Robin Félix

Fear of Music (http://fearofmusic.org) was in many ways a precursor to Standards & Practices @stanprac — we threw sporadic events and shared mixes online, made by likeminded midwest techno fans during the 'dark years' (the aughts, when minimal ruined everything). This was the first release in our mix series and, as of today, it's exactly 15 years old. To us, it still sounds ahead of its time.

From @karlpmeier — 'It's hard to believe this mix is 15 years old. Pretty soon it'll be asking for the keys to the car and the ability to stay out past 10pm. Funny story - one night Jeff and I were at Smart Bar (I think; "the mind plays tricks" as Alan Partridge famously said) and Jeff had been telling me about this artist named 2562 who had released his first LP, "Aerial", the year prior. Jeff had been listening to it non-stop and told me that I absolutely had to investigate. Well, long story short - we were approached by friends that night to open for him at Lava Lounge. We could hardly believe it - it was such a odd coincidence. Now, at the time, I knew very little about "dubstep", ultimately - that was more Jeff's area of expertise. But I was intrigued, and it was a fairly exciting time for electronic music, as there was a lot of genre "cross pollination" going on. All the cheap rave revivalism hadn't started to happen just yet, and there was seemingly a lot of room to explore combining techno and other genres with this new form of music. Jeff and I had expressed some interest in what we could do DJing with Ableton, and this inaugural outing is fairly representative of what we were listening to at the time - and also reflects other influences that we thought might fit in and work well. Really, we were just drunk on the possibilities of what we could do - and ultimately I thought it all worked out quite well. The night ended up being probably one of the most successful gigs I'd been a part of in ages. The crowd was up for it, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Anyway, that's enough nostalgia - hope you enjoy, and thanks for listening.'

The Hard Way In & The Easy Way Out

Jeff Pietro & Karl Meier — The Hard Way In & The Easy Way Out, Live @ Lava Lounge Chicago 2009

"I often myself being responsible for a film's music, but also fighting for its absence." The composer discusses movie scoring, his love of opera and his new album, Scope Neglect, on Mute Records.

The multidisciplinary Australian artist Ben Frost might best be known for his score work: he's soundtracked Netflix shows like Dark and its spinoff 1899, as well as a number of major motion pictures and video games. While his formal studies were in visual art, he started experimenting with music-making from an early age, homing in on a unique sound that is truly a melange of his influences in punk, black metal, classical and modern minimalism. His unique approach to composition has led him to some extreme places to capture field recordings, like the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Amazon rainforest and the empty hulls of fishing boats docked on the banks of Icelandic port towns. Artists like Steve Albini, Björk, Brian Eno and the band SWANS have tapped Frost to work with them, and he's performed extensively as a solo performer and as part of an A/V outfit at the world's biggest festivals and art world circuits. 

In this episode of the RA Exchange, he sits down with senior producer Chloe Lula to discuss his latest venture, a full-length album, Scope Neglect, on Mute. It pulls heavily from his proclivity for guitar music and metal, but still nods to the cinematic minimalism that has become one of his work's primary tropes. Frost dissects some of the recording techniques he used to make the record—he borrowed from the methods used by Mark Hollis of the band Talk Talk—as well as his studio practice, his love of opera and his approach to writing scores. Listen to the episode in full.

A Guy from Vicálvaro no es de Vicálvaro en verdad, es de Villaverde Alto; tan solo es el estúpido aka que utiliza para los podcast que le encargan. Le conocerás, si acaso, como David elpezs; ese que lleva dando la turra más de 13 años en electromagnética radio, mezclando las sesiones de Music for Whales y ahora también dando la tabarra en Música para ballenas; es imposible no odiarle de tanto quererle.

Aquí nos ofrece un clinic de como mezclar varios estilos en un 110-170 bpm que se podría poner en las escuelas de DJ si es que hubiese alguna a la altura de la selección musical, si no te lo crees pues dale al play. Las mezclas son tan precisas y arriesgadas que tuvo que editar tres cortes con sus amplios conocimientos de post producción, los cuales al estar absolutamente destalentado para la creación musical le han otorgado un total de 0 éxitos en esa disciplina. Él, lo sigue intentando, sobre todo y ante todo porque no tiene otra cosa mejor que hacer que estar todo el puto día enredado.

A Guy from Vicálvaro is not really from Vicálvaro, it is from Villaverde Alto; He is just the stupid aka that he uses for the podcasts that are commissioned from him. You will know him, if anything, as David the fish; the one that he has been giving a blast for more than 13 years in electromagnetic radio, mixing the Music for Whales sessions and now also giving a blast in Música para whales; It is impossible not to hate him because he loves him so much.

Here he offers us a clinic on how to mix various styles at 110-170 bpm that could be put in DJ schools if there were any at the level of the musical selection, if you don't believe it, then press play. The mixes are so precise and risky that he had to edit three cuts with his extensive knowledge of post-production, which, being absolutely unskilled in musical creation, has given him a total of 0 successes in that discipline. He keeps trying, above all and above all because he has nothing better to do than be tangled all fucking day.
