Pfirter

Over the years, @quelza has made a name for himself, releasing music on labels like Mord, Palinoia, 47 and Hayes Collective, each pushing an unorthodox crystal clarity and cinematic sound design that has become his signature as an artist. Championing layered techno wares laced with a breaksy, IDM-informed touch that packs a punch, the Frenchman keeps on carving out a truly distinctive, shape-shifting universe, switching scopes and angles as he ups the rhythmic pressure.

This maturity is also reflected in his sets, and this podcast is a clear testament of that. He says "I wanted this podcast to be a slow, burning progression of weirdness and solar intensity, gradually building tension not in the speed of the piece but rather in the textural aspect. This is usually how I like to start my sets: by letting the track breathe and evolve before releasing the intensity once the audience and I are acclimatised to the aesthetics and dynamics of the track selection and the venue.”

Close your eyes and enjoy.

For the past fifteen years Argentinian-born, Barcelona-based producer Juan Pablo Pfirter has been pushing a sound by turns steely, dark and uplifting, true to the founding principles of the techno tetramorph but eager to throw his own vanguard, personal touch into the mix.

From the early days onward, whether expressing himself via DJing, producing or as a label owner, Pfirter has worked his magic with focus and style, gracing the likes of CLR, Figure, Mord and Stroboscopic Artefacts with choice singles whilst headlining some of the most respected electronic music bastions and events including Berghain, Tresor, Concrete, Awakenings and Time Warp. Ever since he embarked on his first European tour back in 2005, Juan Pablo has worked tirelessly at shaping one of the most idiosyncratic sounds in contemporary electronic music. It’s a sound which combines the heavy thump of stadium-sized kicks with textured organic relief and hypnotic sub-bass motifs a thousand listens couldn’t diminish.

2006 saw the birth of Pfirter Own imprint, MindTrip, which has become one of the brightest beacons in the ever-changing techno landscape.The label serves as both a vessel for his own output and that of his close friends and collaborators, including luminaries such as Jonas Kopp, Stanislav Tolkachev, Dold, Kashpitzky, Oliver Rosemann and Flug. In parallel, MindTrip has also flourished through its monthly podcast series, welcoming the likes of Antigone, The Lady Machine, TWR72, Nørbak, Jeroen Search and more exciting, singular artists, all invited to present an session of music that captures the spirit and values of MindTrip.

Alchemical Minds Session 043 / André Dias (España) 

Bio
Galicia ha sido la cuna de grandes artistas electrónicos que han hecho historia en la
escena gracias a su talento y su concepción única de este estilo musical. André Dias es
parte de ese semillero que, a lo largo de los años, se ha posicionado como uno de los
más importantes en la industria. El estilo de André se mueve con una facilidad impresionante entre la contundencia y el ritmo de los sonidos techno. Un estilista refinado capaz de sorprenderte con matices sutileso golpearte con impactantes ondas Sonoras. Nacido en la localidad gallega de Tui, André Dias experimentó la escena electrónica en su ciudad, basada en el sonido del Italodance que sonaba prácticamente en todos los locales. El club de moda en ese momento era Brujas, y allí pasaba horas junto al DJ,observando de cerca cómo realizaban su trabajo. Su curiosidad era tal que un día fue invitado a la cabina del DJ para que le enseñaran los entresijos de pinchar música. Poco a poco, fue aprendiendo el oficio hasta que tuvo la primera oportunidad de manejar una mesa de mezclas. Su percepción del sonido cambió a los 18 años cuando asistió por primera vez a un evento de techno. Fue en el Zoo Club (Sanxenxo), y Cristian Varela estaba actuando con uno de sus sets clásicos de vinilo. Esa actuación avivó aún más la curiosidad de André, y comenzó a explorar la escena techno en profundidad hasta que se convirtió en parte de ella. Para hacerlo, comenzó a estudiar a influencers como Ben Klock, Ben Sims o Richie Hawtin, entre muchos otros. Su primera actuación completa tuvo lugar en una rave que se celebraba cada año en las montañas cerca de su ciudad. Una exitosa primera prueba de fuego que lo llevó a las cabinas de clubes de Galicia y Portugal, incluidos lugares destacados como Pacha Ofir (Ofir, Portugal), Gate 13 (Barcelos, Portugal, antiguo club 118), Soundwaves Festival (Esmoriz, Portugal), lndustria Club (Cerveira, Portugal), Infame Club (Lisboa, Portugal) y Discoteca Queen (Mos, España). En cada uno de estos eventos, expresa su estado de ánimo a través de su música y sus sets. Siempre intenta conectar con el público desde el principio hasta el final, a menudo disfrutando más de abrir una fiesta o evento, ya que puede conectar con el público desde el primer minuto. Una vez que termina su actuación, André es uno de esos artistas que se une al público para disfrutar de la fiesta con ellos. Como productor, André Dias es metódico y constante, gracias al conocimiento que ha adquirido de colegas como el portugués Cardao y Joton. Siempre dispuesto a probar cosas nuevas pero sin perder de vista su respeto por la cultura electrónica que lo ha influenciado durante todos estos años. Actualmente, André Dias está enfocado en la producción y en su sello, CerebellumTrax, junto al gran Cardao. Con este proyecto, llevará muchas de sus producciones a la luz y llevará su música a otros países, conociendo a nuevas personas en la escena con quienes puede compartir conocimientos y experiencias.

"Give Me Your Love" is a joyful track that I've always loved, evoking a celebratory mood in the true spirit of disco even though it was released well after the primary disco movement of the late 1970s. Originally performed by the Italian group Fun Fun, this song is a quintessential piece of Italo disco—a genre that emerged in the early 80s, characterised by its electronic instrumentation and vibrant energy. I vividly recall sitting in front of a record player, captivated by the jubilant spirit of the vocals and the infectious rhythm, listening to it over and over again when it was originally released.
In reimagining "Give Me Your Love" for "The Afterlife," I sought to bridge the past and present, infusing the track with modern production techniques while honouring its roots. This song has taken longer to produce than any other on the album, reflecting the intricate process of capturing its essence and transforming it into something new.
The production journey for "Give Me Your Love" has been akin to navigating a creative maze, filled with unexpected turns and moments of inspiration. At times, it has felt like sculpting a gigantic piece of marble, requiring infinite patience and a willingness to delve into the details. Ultimately, "Give Me Your Love" is not just a song; it's a dialogue between the jubilant past of disco and the boundless possibilities of the present, inviting listeners to experience the freedom and joy that disco can bring.
