RA.188 Terre Thaemlitz aka DJ Sprinkles - 2010.01.04

London-based pair Jack Rollo and Elaine Tierney aka Time is Away are continually exploring the relationship between time, place and power. They do so in a wide variety of ways from exhibitions for the Arts Council England to site-specific sound works, research projects to their nearly 10-year-strong NTS show. Each one weaves spoken word pieces with atmospheric music into soundscapes that physically and mentally move you. 

The pair's exceptional record collection and ability to manipulate your mood are laid bare once more in this week's mix. It's an escapist daydream where gently lilting rhythms melt away into psychedelic dub with intimate vocal whispers. Indian meditations captivate the heart and mind while lo-fi guitar fuzz lulls you into a hypnagogic state. It's a delicate but powerful world of sound that reveals more and has an ever-deeper impact each time you listen.

Last mix of the year 2022 comes from Rotterdam based Suze Ijó (@suze_ijo) who has been making heat across dance floors world wide. Interview (excerpt) down below.

MFM: Hi Suze, welcome to the series. You used to work at Clone. Do you believe working in a record store has helped you as a DJ and the other way around?

SI: I think that the type of person that gets attracted to working in a record shop are usually music geeks(like I am). So it was wonderful being surrounded by only music geeks for three years and sharing with each other our influences, hearing all the records coming in and finding out about some cool releases on labels you would never even think of listening to if it wasn’t for it being played in the store. I did get a discount but in the end my salary was basically being spent on new records. I think as a DJ working there it did inspire me to dig deeper because you need to advice all different kinds of people about what’s in store. As for benefits for the record store, I guess having qualified music lovers is a good thing to have around.

MFM: By sticking to the more soulful sounds, such as gospel, soul, disco, broken beat and house, and also being outspoken in championing the black community, it seems like you're expressing a message through music. Could you please share your thoughts on this?

SI: Being a black Dutch-Caribbean woman is definitely a big part of my musical identity. I like to weave Afrodiasporic sounds together mostly because they have so much in common, whether it’s House music, Salsa, Boogie, Broken Beat or Techno. I can hear the connections so clearly. Each time I might have a different message but a lot of them have to do with: losing and finding love, letting go, finding community and expressing joy. 

MFM: With playing so many shows at different places on this planet, how do prepare for your gigs?

SI: Sometimes it’s hard to prepare because you won’t know where you’ll end up playing or for what kind of crowd. I usually bring a variation of new finds and old classics with me. Also I try to make a playlist per event in Rekordbox. I kind of see it like puzzling, you want to make sure the pieces fit together. It usually starts with me overpacking and then slowly taking out the records that aren’t necessary or most likely won’t be played. I used to spend a lot of time preparing but because I play so much these days, I am almost always in a state of preparation and that takes away the stress that used to come with it. It allows for more spontaneity.

MFM: Please tell us about this mix, was there a certain vibe or idea you wanted to capture?

SI: I wanted this mix to be slow paced and imaginative, to almost make it feel like a movie soundtrack when closing your eyes. I don’t want to say too much about it because I want every listener to have their own interpretation but the transmission of intergenerational trauma and memory is something that I had thought about a lot lately. Then I found a poem by Brazilian Maestro Milton Nascimento which is the guideline of this mix. The Poem “Era Rei e Sou Escravo” (translation: I was a king and I am enslaved) tells the story of an enslaved person, being taken from the African mainland and no matter how badly he is treated or wherever he is taken, he says that the memory of his country and the memory of the music of his people stays and never goes away. It keeps him hopeful, he ends the poem with: Sou Escravo Serei Rei(I am a slave, I will be a king). From that moment on we travel.

MFM Mix 046: Suze Ijó

Khotin has been a key figure in the developing Electronic music scene emerging from Canada - for over ten years he has been producing and releasing music.

His sound has evolved exponentially, weaving between sounds and styles with cohesive ease of which others might only dream of. His records have found a home somewhere between the heady 90's ambient and trip hop era, deep house and has drawn upon abstract influences from balearic roots, trance and a whirlwind of other other cultural guises.

All of this makes his music remarkably interesting and hard to pin down.

His forthcoming album "Release Spirit" is forthcoming on acclaimed label Ghostly International. It features a collection of ambient soundscapes, tape recordings and off piste samples as Khotin draws inspiration from far reaching influences such as World of Warcraft, train journeys through Europe and Japan, family vacations and beyond.

We asked Khotin to record a mix which reflects a similar nature of the new album - the result is a delicate assortment of textures which lend themselves to a brooding optimism for the year ahead. At least we hope..
