ELECTRONIC EXPLORATIONS - 336 - Clouds
September Megamix (For DJ Hardcore)
______________________________________


The podcast is full of music released in the 90s. Not all of it, but a lot of it. Nothing to do with thinking no one’s making good tunes at the moment and everything released in the 90s was brilliant. Just wanted to do something that was quite manky and a bit mad… A lot of the tunes sound quite grungy and a bit shady, but that’s what we went for on this one. Some of it’s not really mixed, it’s not a DJ set so it doesn’t really have to be. Lots of tracks are just mashed into each other, sometimes using field recordings or sound from films and interviews, and other times just using bits from different songs, like Pan Sonic madness. There’s no real theme to it, the audio extracts in there are all unrelated, some from a trip to Japan, a bit from a youtube interview, bits from a film i watched while working on the podcast. None of it’s new apart from a few bits from ourselves. Hopefully there’s a lot of stuff inside people haven’t heard.

Heir apparent to the UK techno throne, Clouds have been gaining credibility with each release. With their LP Ghost Systems Rave, 12"s on Fifth Wall and Soma, and their latest Tannhauser Acid Works EP, they've reached beyond the warehouse and into the wild apocalyptic rubble of po-mo UK hardcore. 

Their lead track Blood Skating is an industrial blitz of terror-beats, laced with a haunting, Aphex-grade vocal pad. It sets the tone for this incredible release, which they've A&R'd out of thin air, apparently from their mates in Dundee, Perth, and the surrounding mud-lands. 

The 12" sampler features DJ Hesburger's 'Roll Up Your Sleeves, Welcome to the Dance,' an awesome slice of overdriven acid electro that sounds like MPIA3 on MDMA. Jane 'Fuck Your Alliance' is proper mental brain dance, while Dance Company's ‘Berzerkerz’ sounds like an unearthed hardcore anthem from 92. 

The full "…I Care Because You Don't" compilation is coming October 2014.
