Tr One - What Kind Of Dreams Do You Have?

It started, as it so often does, with two old friends hanging out. 

John Shima and C P Smith were joking around one evening in their home city of Sheffield. At some point, Smith challenged Shima that, if the latter could produce a record using nothing more than a small modular synth setup, then Smith would release it on his Central Processing Unit label. As heads will know, while Shima has drops on imprints like FireScope and Subwax Excursions to his name, he had never previously released anything via CPU. Shima accepted, and thus we now have his CPU debut, the four-track EP CPU Modular 1.

The specific setup that Shima worked with for these tracks was Smith’s Doepfer A-100P6 Suitcase, a small but mighty combination of modules and programmers. It’s no surprise that Shima was able to familiarise himself with the equipment in double-quick time - after all, Shima was an early adopter of the Eurorack modular format back in the day. What emerged from the CPU Modular 1 sessions was a quartet of devastatingly effective DJ tools, mid-set rollers which will get the dance moving something crazy.

Opener ‘003’ kicks the EP off as it means to go on. There’s something at once stiff-necked and buoyant about the rhythms here, all thwacking Roland tones and snares which crack like someone whipping a length of sheet metal. While the beat barrels unyieldingly onwards, the programming in the tuned modulars is more exploratory and even trippy, full of delay-laced bleeps and flighty rhythmic motifs. It comes together for a cracking mix in the vein of artists like Jerome Hill and London Modular Alliance. Second A-side cut ‘010’ is no different, the street-beat groove and grumbling low-ends underpinning all manner of modular wizardry.

CPU Modular 1 is really timeless stuff, a set of percussion-heavy, future-focussed beats which recalls Smith’s own CPU drop ‘DJ Tools Vol.1 - 808 Tracks’. ‘011’ kicks of CPU Modular 1’s second-half with a dose of Drexciyan dystopia, playing an atonal loop off of an insistent bass wiggle and neurotic hi-hats. Even when Shima tightens or slackens the modulars here, ‘011’ remains unyielding, a dose of pure ‘Wip3out’ energy that you could happily groove to all day long. The EP closes out with ‘005’, a gnarled, gurgling production which still retains the dancefloor punch of the rest of the record.

For his Central Processing Unit debut, John Shima was tasked to produce four tracks using a single small modular setup. Unsurprisingly given the pedigree of this seasoned machine-funk pro, Shima aced the assignment.

2022 End of Year Mix

@galanjah

Gala tiene la habilidad de desdoblarse. En su proyecto Romance Layers se presenta como nuestra nueva femme fatale del house junto a su compañero Mystery Friend. Pero cuando djea se corre de ese lugar con elocuencia. 
Arranca con un plato fuerte, el electro de la clásica dupla electroclash Miss Kittin & The Hacker y un track con obvias influencias de los sintes disco de Moroder filtrados por las pistas del 2000 (que 20 años después siguen más que vigentes.

Su dj set es como una declaración de principios: dos tracks  al comienzo y uno hacia el final con primacía de las vocales femeninas ya sean old school o recientes nos quedan rondando como un eco en algún lugar de la cabeza. Galanjah subterráneamente también alienta una revisión al sonido de Chicago; seleccionar a Armando deja en claro qué personalidades del house le interesan particularmente. 

En estos 59 minutos parece afirmar que la fascinación mecanicista y robótica del electro, la mística ácida, nerd y alienígena de, por ejemplo, un Legowelt combinadas con otros elementos grooveros son fundamentales para la verdadera liberación sutil y sensible en la pista.

Just sneaking in at the end of the month, the Gated pod is back and this time we're excited to have with us Lex G for a guest mix.

Lex is multi-genre DJ from London and runs the independent label/platform Gunfinger Food, aimed at advocating underground vinyl culture.

This mix is filled mainly with electro, techno and breaks. Something to get you moving.

"Gated has become one of my favourite labels since discovering it near its inception. What stood out the most was not just limiting to one particular sound, but connecting a variety of electronic music that I was able to connect with as someone who collects and DJs many different styles. Paired with a strong level of consistency, quality output and authenticity in their approach, this label gets big respect from me."

Appreciate the words Lex, we're on the same path. So thanks all for tuning in, now dig into the mix!

The WE FORFEIT lads have their beady eyes on many things. Cinnamon rolls. Loose change. Decent priced white wine. Their ears are tuned to something altogether better.

Cignol (@cignol) has been on the WE FORFEIT radar, as well as many other folk’s, for quite some time now. The Ireland based artist has been consistently delivering superb music, from acid tinged techno, braindance infused electronica to sky gazing electro.

Chris and Robbie managed to track Paul Cignol down for a chat. From his first influences in electronic music right up to his most recent works, all is laid bare in this tell-all interview that’s worthy of the very best of what The News of the World would have to offer.

Sit back, relax and enjoy two hours of insight and music from a superb musician.
