Eliogold - SUMMER IN FLR MIXTAPE (July 2021)

This edition of the Innerflight Broadcast features Seattle's Eliogold. Elio and I connected over our love for James Holden and circa 2000 era Electro House/Electroclash/Dance Punk. Countless conversations (and him helping me ID a track from a James Holden mix that I've literally been searching for, for about a decade!) later, we decided we needed to get a mix from him.

Here are some words he had for us about the mix:

"The maze represents the twists and turns I like to take in most of my sets, apparently incoherent at times, but I like to think that there’s order in my chaos. 

I wanted to make this mix special so I made sure to include a lot of unreleased material and rare cuts, also one new track from a forthcoming EP of mine. 

The mix also includes a reference to the wild underground parties we used to throw in Tucson, AZ."

Elio is the founder of the Dazed crew and a regular co-conspirator with De La Creme for their Soft Option parties at Monkey Loft and more. They've got a party coming up this Saturday 4/2/22 featuring:

ELIF (Anjunadeep / Stil Vor Talent)
CHRIS WILDR (DAZED)
PELEHON (Tremulant)
KARL KAMAKAHI (De La Creme)

Restless Planet Review: May 2022 w/ Bunny Ross

This month Bunny Ross goes gold digging with special guest, head of Dazed, Eliogold.

Restless Planet Review: Gold digging w/ Bunny Ross and Eliogold, June 2022

'Elio Sottoscritti is feverish about electronic music, for him it's much like the rush of discovering gold. The difference is, where others would squander such riches, he's driven to share every ounce of it he finds as an artist and DJ under his moniker Eliogold. Early on he would learn to treasure audio, growing up in the household of a sound engineer father. Being from Florence, Elio would pick up on the traditions of central Italy’s house and techno from exposure to big name clubs and parties like Cocorico', Fortezza da Basso, and Jaiss before taking to the turntables himself around 2003. 

Eliogold has been toiling away at finding the right sounds through which to express himself as an artist producer for years, finally hitting his stride in 2012 and releasing on UK based label Axon Recordings. Elio left his mark in the deserts of Arizona, working hard as a party organizer and leading artist, under the banner of the Dazed & Confused crew, starting in 2015. There, he hosted and played at events alongside international guests such as Supernova, Hector Romero, My Favorite Robot, Project Pablo, Mor Elian and more. Because of his multifaceted style, ranging from house, techno, progressive, breaks, and anything in between, he’s had the opportunity to play at some of the most respected underground parties in the west coast such as Frenzy at Avalon in LA, Techno Taco Tuesday in Vegas, and more. Today he is in Seattle where he relaunched his party brand under the name Dazed and is still hosting parties and performing at local underground clubs such as The Monkey Loft, Kremwerk, Q Nightclub, etc. After a seven years hiatus, he's back on making music, and his EP "Revenge of the Muppet" on Threerecordsuk reached #1 in the Beatport top100 global new releases and Indie Dance charts in early 2022. His passion for sound and language has brought him to terms with one of music’s universal truths. "My background in linguistics taught me that there is only one language that needs no translation and that’s music. There is nothing more inspiring than that and that’s what keeps me going." This understanding has shaped Eliogold, a rare and valuable find for any listener who would be so fortunate to uncover.'

Restless Planet Review: Summiting Dub w/ Bunny Ross and Summit Dub

Restless Planet is excited to collaborate with MakesMeHuman for this edition of the Restless Planet Review. This time around we are shining a light on an underground music collective that hosts epic events in the Seattle scene.

Makes Me Human debuted in 2017 and has consistently brought us extraordinary artists from around the world. Alongside partner record label Rhizome Records, they have been trailblazing in the Seattle underground setting the highest standards in releases, sets and parties. From their releases to their popular party series, there is no doubt that Kinjo and Konifer of MMH and Rhizome bring an exceptional minimal electronic music selection.

Join Bunny Ross as he brings you a live unreleased set from Konifer for this installment, alongside some of the gems we’ve been digging over the last two months.

Tracklist

Eliogold @ Newcomer #159 - United States

We welcomed Flexi Cuts main man @relative for our third guest mix. We asked him to tell us a little bit about his mix:

“My first idea was to make a selection of 45-50 minutes long… but the more I dig, the more I realized I had to put some of me in the mix and let the vibe take control. So… i spent almost 2 hours recording. It’s all live mix, driving turntables, choosing records and drinking espresso in my store-basement studio.”
