El Commodino on Radio Flouka

'El Commodino' is a new section of my monthly show where I'll be inviting artists to play sounds they don't get the to showcase on the regular. That could be tracks on the fringes of their rekordbox, music they listen to privately, tunes that mean something to them, or just an hour of ambient music, or even death metal, or all of the above. Literally whatever feels close to their heart in time of recording. 

El Commodino's first guest is Azemad, the Berlin-based Egyptian producer behind my favorite EP of 2022 'Afriki' (released on Awkwardly Social).  For the hour, Azemad blends vintage and contemporary experimental sounds, featuring a selection of influential tracks dating back to the mid-1970s. The compilation showcases a blend of diverse analog sounds and intricate rhythmic patterns.

For the second session of El Commodino, the Brooklyn-based Swaya blessed me with "in the clouds" – a mix of lush and airy soundcloud raps to listen to at home  <3

The 3rd session of El Commodino is by A7ba-L-Jelly, a cornerstone of the Cairo underground, one of my personal favorite DJs, and the force behind Jelly Zone– the party that emphasizes the more unconventional and experimental sides of dance music. For this session however, A7ba-L-Jelly took the prompt to heart and is gifting us a collection of early 2000s mainstream rock tunes, no hidden gems, just things she used to listen to during those years.

A main staple of Tokyo’s club scene, @Mars89 is a master of tension building and a prolific producer known for his dystopic sounds and relentless drums. In the 4th session of El Commodino, Mars89 goes full freeform, stirring away from what he usually plays on the dance floor to providing a glimpse of what actively informs and inspires his productions. During the hour he’ll weave through industrial, jazz, musique concrete, drum and bass and many others sounds and textures that he envisions while making music. Check out his latest album ‘Visions’ on Bedouin records and his EP ‘Night Call EP’ on Sneaker Social Club.

Side A: Bass is Eternal
Side B: 2-step Mutual Dream

A Night in the Skull Discotheque by the beloved underground selector CCL is the latest offering in the T4T LUV NRG label’s highly limited DJ mix series of cassettes. This immersive journey through a wonderland of proto-dubstep sounds from the late 1970s through the year 2000 is a sonic sibling to CCL’s acclaimed 2018 mix Ode to Queer Steppas.

Inspired in part by Eris Drew’s use of “old records to create new styles out of fragments” on her Raving Disco Breaks Vol. 1 mixtape (T4T LUV NRG, 2019), CCL approached this recording with a parallel frame of mind. Created with 3 CDJs, one Turntable, and a Boss Digital Delay 200, the tracks included in the mix are deconstructed from their whole, and constituent parts are intertwined, sampled, and dubbed out while being further stretched beyond their physical limits. CCL mixed many tracks at the 'wrong speed', pitched beyond their original recognizable tone; others are recontextualized through imaginative layering.

With a solid nod to seminal mixtapes of the early 90s, CCL references the namesake for Side A, Bass Is Eternal, an unreleased 1992 mixtape by influential Bristolian producers Smith & Mighty, an important sonic fulcrum amongst the musical tributaries of the hardcore continuum that continues to reverberate to this day. CCL experienced the after-effects of this ‘proto’ sound genesis in 2008, while living in Bristol, by which point its emergent whispers had coalesced into what became known as dubstep. Tracing a rich history of reference through the samples, basslines, moods, and drum patterns emanating from Bass Is Eternal while looking for connections that predate it became a long-term fascination for CCL. The result is a DJ mix that connects the oft-forgotten dots between proto eras and modern developments in bass and dubstep.

For the resulting sonic ride on A Night in the Skull Discotheque, CCL leads us to a fantastical place of timeless surreality – a majestic haunted dancehall soundtracked by a giddy rush of steppers and dubbed-out delights. Subs rattle through syncopated percs, and moody synths glisten in macabre glory. Fantastical dancers wriggle in wispy eternity, liberated from their corporeal forms in all their greatest spiritual wonder. Both extravagant and dusky, A Night in the Skull Discotheque is a world of seductive in-betweens, a place caught between the moodiest depths and the highest exuberance – A love letter to one of the most impactful formative sounds of the last decades.

You only need to have a quick nose around phil in a maze’s impressive raft of self-released singles to understand the depth of his production skills. Alternately harnessing the raw power of tech-inflected dnb and the impressionistic sophistication of dub, his set at the Unsound Closing Party at 89 was a game of tempo division and multiplication, featuring stuttering drum patterns and sludgy dancehall.

Relive the set via Unsound Podcast 100. Thanks to all the amazing artists who’ve contributed mixes over the years to get us to this point!

Freely moving and purely defined. Climb through @mzzzadele's mystic fog to clarity and resonance. Plucking music and influences from the innermost — for a reflection on the extreme and cyclical natural rhythm.
