Why Not

London-based collector and photographer Alex Yiaxis known as Fantasty in Orbit has put together a mix which celebrates radiant diversity, what Martinician theorist Edouard Glissant calls a “poetics of relation.” The mix dissolves  boundaries, moving across time, space, and place, assembling a meaningful missive for peace.

Critics and audiences first fell in love with the Alex Smoke sound back in 2002 when his debut Soma single ‘Chica Wappa’ landed in their laps. His sensational debut album ‘Incommunicado’ – released back in 2005 on the Soma label – generated a lot of heat with scorching tracks like ‘6am’, ‘Don’t See The Point’ and the sizzling ‘Chica Wappa’. It was the result of Alex throwing a variety of genres in to a melting pot and then pouring it out to create something that was truly his own. The decision to partner up with fellow Glaswegians Soma seemed only natural and just one year later, in 2006, they released Alex’s second album ‘Paradolia’. Smoke’s unique style is a product of his background in classical music (Alex is skilled pianist and cellist), a love of electronic music and his experimental nature. He is a master of diversity and his ability to weave atmospheric soundscapes and deliver dance floor dynamics is what makes Alex stand out in the crowd as he sails through the ocean of artists that is today’s electronic music scene. Recently Alex has been touring across Europe and Japan and has also just released his third album, ‘Flux’, on his own label Hum+Haw (co-founded with Jim Hutchison).

In the first remix Detroit’s own experimental innovator Ryan Crosson goes surgical; injecting Smoke’s track with a rippling bass line that provides the main theme for the music as it sits comfortably underneath gentle synths and Alex’s mega-morphed, ghostly vocals. A percussion transfusion sees the original, intricate and glitch percussion being carved out and replaced with a more mechanical beat that compliments the bass and supports the other musical elements. Crosson stretches the track out to nine and a half minutes and maintains the song’s ambient soul while also including a driving end section, featuring percussive aspects that suggests homage to Smoke’s original rhythms.

Fellow Glasgow native and London based producer Sei A concentrates on delivering a slightly darker and atmospheric alternative ‘Never Want To See You Again’. While Alex’s original vocals may disappeared from the mix, Sei A has manipulated short vocal samples to achieve an eerie presence, enhanced by haunting synths to give this stripped back version a whole new feel. 

The laidback yet upbeat Roof Light Re Rub dives head first in to a pool of high-energy percussion featuring shakers, cowbells and hi-hats that gives the track a subtle Latin flavour while airy synths and jazz style piano slip in and out to drive the track and pace it through zones of liveliness and tranquillity.

Premiere : Deepbass - Themis [Soma Records]

Kim Larsen Pianomand Remix Dj Play Production

There is no one quite like Jamal Moss aka Hieroglyphic Being in today’s electronic music scene. A Chicago native who runs the Mathematics label and releases on Rvng Intl, Soul Jazz and Ninja Tune, he is a raw, uncompromising and experimental live act and producer who operates right on the fringes of house, acid and techno. As such, he very much embodies the contemporary Windy City sound having first been taken under the wing of Adonis way back when. The charismatic Moss has put out music on Creme Organization, Further and Planet Mu, is a notoriously analogue centric artist and releases an awful lot of essential music on a regular basis.

And a lot of it is showcased in this podcast, which was a live and fully improvised three hour session recorded on a Friday night at Secret Service on November 20th 2015 in Minneapolis. The raw, expressive set really showcases the breadth and depth of Moss’s sound. Ranging from prickly and abstract to melodically inventive, acid laced and dark, it is a truly textural affair that never stops evolving from start to finish.

John Gómez is a new school tastemaker. The London based, Madrid born DJ has ties to essential collectives like Rush Hour—who he represents on a regular NTS show—as well as Invisible City and Music From Memory, for whom he recently compiled the critically acclaimed Outro Tempo: Electronic and Contemporary Music from Brazil, 1978-1992. A deep digging, versatile selector, he covers everything from house to afro, forgotten soul to niche disco. The best place to hear all these is at Tangent, the top East London party he has run with Nick the Record for the last few years. 

Across seventy odd minutes here, John keeps things sunny and tropical, with worldly sounds from niche disco, boogie and afro scenes all over the world. Each track oozes a sense of musicality as well as a solid underlying groove. The tracks feel joyful and happy, innocent and inviting and are all sequenced in a way that allows each one to really shine. All in all, it makes for a perfect soundtrack to a summer’s afternoon.
