 El freedom 2022 necesita más música como ésta! Muchos breaks, mucho post punk  y mucho electroooo, que chimba de set parcera! Nos vemos en febrero 🌈

5 years later what is this ear candy of a sound? Heavy edit of Verraco NRG Remains?

The B12 story started back in the early nineties when @mikegolding and Steve Rutter helped define the UK's intelligent techno and early electronica scene. Releasing on their own self-titled label as well as Warp, they turned out cult classics like Electro-Soma. From 1996, they took the best part of a decade off before returning in 2008. To this day, the music remains firmly in the future, with sci-fi designs and languid rhythms unfolding in cinematic fashion.

And that plays out in this week's brilliantly atmospheric podcast. It's a sensitive journey through an expansive world of glistening electronics and synth-laden sounds. Rhythms nod to IDM, braindance, techno and bass. As the tempos vary, tender and thoughtful passages sit happily next to more muscular and physical workouts. Few artists get such beauty out of their machines as B12.

The latest edition of our Bleep mix series is provided by Locked Groove, the alias for the electronic output of Belgian producer Tim Van de Meutter. Kicking off with the hazy post-punk leaning electro of Borusiade’s recent ‘The Death Of a Desire (A Ghost)’ on Dark Entries, it gets into the thick of the dancefloor pretty sharp afterwards. Operating in the mistier side of dynamic house and techno in which he’s made his name, there are heavy cuts from the likes of Function, Reflex and ES-Q. The trademark dream-breaks of No Moon leads into Locked Groove closing with his freshly landed ‘Intr0’.

"I wanted to have the mix to have a kind of live feeling. A reflection of what I would play on the ideal night out. I hope you enjoy it! :)" - @lockedgrooves

Juan Mendez, a guy who’s much better known as Silent Servant, is the brains behind some of the most creatively presented music today. His first major rise to prominence was as part of Sandwell District and as well as lending sonics to the mix, his main thing was providing the art direction and that particular aesthetic that really helped Sandwell District reach the level of iconic status that it did. It's been well documented that the project was drawn to a close last year with the fabric 69 mix turning into its swansong, so as the massive fans we are, we were always going to be in the wings with baited breath waiting for news on what any of collective's next ventures would be. 

Well, back in 2013, Jealous God was born; a project creatively backed not only by Mendez but also by James Ruskin and Regis, who of course was another contingent of Sandwell District. And much like Sandwell, over its six releases to date, Jealous God has not only instilled a thought provoking aesthetic from out of the musical contents of the records but the art has also become deeply rooted as the mode of the label’s presentation, creating another beacon for brutal yet brooding techno. 

It's quite right then that we have invited the label to host a night here in Room Two on Saturday 20th September and to represent exactly what Jealous God stands for sonically, Silent Servant has stepped up to deliver an exclusively recorded mix featuring a wealth of Jealous God output...

For our 238th Truancy Volume, we welcome one of techno's elite, Peter van Hoesen. As a producer and DJ, his evolution through the genre has been well documented via releases on Tresor, Curle and his own label Time To Express. Masterfully executed and prolific in output, Peter has always been just deeply concerned with the exploration and development of forward-pushing club sounds. We caught up with Peter to discuss his new label venture Center 91, as well as the references and warehouses experiences of the 90s rave scene that led to informing its first release Opal Balance. Wanting to return to his roots and integrate that cutting-edge Belgian attitude back into his DJ sets and productions, the four track EP sees Peter take those formative influences and provide his own contemporary take on it. Inspired by a string of shows in Medellin this year, Truancy Volume 238 takes on a similar narrative, albeit drawing more from an '80s crop of electronic music and artists. Expanding through a mixture of EBM and New Beat, whilst slowly working up to full-on hypnotic techno, this is Van Hoesen at his best, giving us depth in electronic music that can only come from years of dedication.

Surgeon has released countless classic records and managed to stay relevant and fresh since the 90s. Now he is back on Ilian Tape with a podcast and another 12" called Europa Code, which will be out early October. His selections can send a dancefloor to another dimension and hopefully will do so soon again. Enjoy!

For Mozhgan's inaugural set at No Way Back, we used her magic energy to bridge the power of the Patrick Russell wild and heady wormhole experience with the undefinable freeform sleaze of Scott Zacharias, who began the Outer Space room. Her vibe is deep and mysterious, playing the music at a slightly slower tempo than others which just adds to the mesmerizing nature of her grooves, and highlights a profound emotional connection to the music. A perfect addition to the sound.  — BMG

No Way Back: Streaming From Beyond

A 36+ hour take on No Way Back, with 24 hours of the No Way Back room residents and 12+ hours of the Outer Space room immediately following. An excess of the mindmelting wormhole dance experience followed by many hours of floating in space and beyond. When we considered podcasting some sets, we decided to just release them all, one week at a time, in an order different than their original broadcast, with the concept of bringing further ideas with the continuum to light.

For us the toughest moment of the pandemic shut down was the thought that we could not gather on Memorial Day weekend for our annual rite of No Way Back. We need our community now more than ever, to connect and to feel free, in a world of shifting real and unreal realities, sequestered in isolation, how can we get together? Time feels different now, we have more patience for everything, so we applied that space for exploration to the sets at No Way Back, extending them to 3 hours so the DJs can fully explore their ideas.

The Electrifyin' Mojo would say "if you reach the end of your rope, just tie a knot and don’t let go" and this stream and podcasts are our knot. This was the first ever NWB without a defined space, without the transformational art of Amber Gillen and crew, let's hope we can get together in the future safely. Grab a little bit of netting or a parachute, turn on some red lights, move into another dimension. Please stay safe and live to dance another day.
