melt mix vol. 45 - Darcy Mahady

For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

Welcome forth. Step into the light, don’t forget your sunglasses. As we slowly drip back into a new version of this puddle of existence it’s never been more important to check in on at least one version of yourself. This little audio sojourn will bring balance to the chaotic everyday oddities that surround us. Joining us on this decedent descent into deep bliss is Darcy Mahady.

A local young gun from an elite bloodline, his potential is matched by his knowledge, understanding and appreciation of incredible music and the culture that surrounds it. One of the founding members of Upstairs/Downstairs crew, a local party series as well as an incredibly curated mix series that runs parallel. A genuinely nice guy on and off the field, his dedication to detail instills hope for the next generation of music lovers and music makers. 

With an essence of maturity and hints of Weatherall and Drexciya, Darcy has delivered a mix that spans beyond his years. Truly capturing the romance of computer generated courtship and deep-seated digital discourse. With dips and trips in and out of the water, this mix moves like a current in the ocean. Get in and good luck.

UPSAMMY & OCEANIC

Textasy slides into number 54 with a 40 minute, rapid-fire sonic assault. 
Covering many wonky, genre-bending surfaces, this mix is a breath of fresh air tinged with 90's nostalgia.

If-Only Podcast #53: Anatolian Weapons

From Kaifeng via Vancouver here comes Second Circle friend and artist Yu Su (@yu_su) with her contribution titled Freedom Is Nothing Left To Lose. Q&A (excerpt) here below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Hi Yu Su, thanks for joining the mix series. So, could you please first tell us a bit about your background and how you got into making and playing music?

YS: I was born in Kaifeng, China, where it was Chinese pop like Jay Chow and Faye Wong that I listened to the most. I have been living in Vancouver, Canada, since 2013 and got into electronic music just shortly after the move.

MFM: You are a trained piano player, does it help you writing your music these days?

YS: Yes, since I was three until high school, in Kaifeng :) It for sure does, I take influences from Debussy a lot of the time, it feels rewarding something I invested so much time and money into when I was little can contribute so much to my current work.

MFM: Hailing from Kaifeng, can you maybe help us try to understand a bit more how is it for an ambitious person in China to dream and develop creatively while being surrounded by the Great Firewall?

YS: I can only speak for myself since I haven't lived there for a little bit, but I think no matter what you can always find your way around the “Great Firewall” to access this world of endless music database, of course not everyone will have the privilege to travel to the west for better infrastructure, though I believe if you just keep doing what you do, the rest of the world will see it.

MFM: And for those who're not able to travel, does it make them even more eager to learn from each other in a certain way? Like, does the limitation result in a stronger collective feeling of sharing and collaborating?

YS: I think so, perhaps not necessarily this collective feeling but people definitely have to make extra effort to try to make things happen, honestly having lived in the West for so long, sometimes even I take things for granted and I do reflect on that a lot.

MFM: Can you maybe walk us a bit through your process of creating music?

YS: It is probably more or less the same with many other producers and musicians, you start from one sound and develop into something you don’t expect. The only thing specific I would say, is that I prefer to finish my pieces in one sitting, I can be extremely focused for let’s say 8 hrs at once and if a project is going well, it will be done in 8 hrs, I’ll leave the mixing for someone else after.

MFM: When on tour you're mostly DJing, right? As a trained musician and producer, what actually made you decide to DJ instead of performing live?

YS: Yes, mostly DJing. I see producing music and playing records/files as two completely different sides of myself since I’m in a very different mental state of mind when doing both. I wanted to DJ after experiencing this whole new world of music and I love discovering and sharing music made by other people for other people, and I enjoy the role of introducing others to things they have not heard. And at the same time for me DJing on stage is almost like another way of expressing live music, there is a lot to consider with the musical and structural elements of all the tracks and in order for me to form a good narrative, I have to think as if every track is a single channel in a project I work on at home. On the other hand, I have been exploring many mediums of presenting “live music” and I would like to continue exploring more in the area of sound installation and soundscape studies, if you count those as “performing live” also.  

MFM: What's up next, got any exciting things coming up that you'd like to share?

YS: Lots more touring to exciting and new places (thanks to my lovely agent); me and my partner who I also collaborate with will be doing a sound meditation and food/wine pop up at giant steps mid July in partner with Stamp The Wax, I am very much looking forward to that.
