When I came to London last year to join fabric and head the A&R for the artist led label Houndstooth I got dragged down to Hackney Wick for what was going to be a life changing techno event of the rawest level. This happening is what has inspired my series of Warehouse Sessions, where I have reached out to my favourite techno artists and asked them to get inspired by that unique thump thump betwixt concrete sounds that industrialised techno spaces always provoke and provide a suitably banging mix for my Electronic Explorations podcast series.

This week I've kicked off another round of mixes lead by Our Circula Sound man Sigha, London resident Ø [Phase], Semantica Records boss and Spanish producer Svreca, Italian producer and co-owner of Repitch Records Shapednoise (One half of Violetshaped) and finally a US producer who has released on Sandwell District & Stroboscopic Artefacts, Rrose.

December 2012 brought mixes by USA producer Skirt, UK producer Truss aka MPIA3, Stormfield & myself, Irish and Greek producers AnD and French producer Kangding Ray (his being voted EE mix from all shows in 2012)

WAREHOUSE SESSIONS

Ø [Phase] - EE293 - Electronic Explorations (Warehouse Sessions 007)

"Although Duchamp now offers everything from trench coats to trousers, the core of the collection is very much occasion wear for men who love dressing up, with velvet tuxedos and evening dresses for events from big nights out to a day at the races. The brand has proved to be a huge hit with the wedding market…after all Duchamp is all about the feel-good factor, and what could be more important than feeling good on your biggest day?" ~ Rrose

“Just a load of tunes that I love and regularly play out… Old and new… No theme except that the tracks are hopefully memorable in varying ways.. Techno, Acid and Electro, all embracing their individuality and not creeping around trying to ‘fit in’.  Oh, and mixed on vinyl, a couple of CDs when necessary and no tractors or sinks”

Zeitgeber is the duo of Speedy J and Lucy. Both renowned techno artists in their own  right, they’ve teamed up together to create a spellbinding album of abstract electronics. As  the owner of Electric Deluxe, Speedy J has overseen one of modern techno’s finest  imprints. He was there at techno’s beginnings as a DJ and producer, and he continues to  stand at its avant-garde, pushing his artists and himself to continue to innovate.

The same  goes for Stroboscopic Artefacts head Lucy, whose young imprint has never failed to  impress in its ambition and output. Lucy has a clear vision of what he wants with his  imprint, and across the label’s three album releases you can see that it has been  achieved. Zeitgeber marks a new era for Stroboscopic Artefacts. But it’s business as usual  for both Speedy J and Lucy, two of techno’s leading lights.  [Words: Todd L. Burns]

"This live set was recorded live @ Aequalis - IFZ - Leipzig during the first event dedicated to my own label and called “Outis Music Showcase". In this I included all my style and my musical path passing by the early work done on Prologue Music and Sonic Groove until the last on Outis Music. I consider this one like a personal musical puzzle in which to express my way of being, in two words in this set are enclosed years of my work and continuous sound research. I used an hybrid technique mixing live some analog synths & drum machine"

Luke Slater - EE405 - Electronic Explorations (Warehouse Sessions 016)

"Warehouse" has become a real buzz word again in recent years. To me though, it’s just like saying "good" or "real" when describing techno/house etc. A warehouse is the natural habitat for electronic dance music to be played, just like a field is where you play football. I don’t change what I play too much according to the space, a good track will sound good anywhere. That said, I did pick out some tracks that are naturally more wide or cavernous, or which I instantly associate with warehouse spaces. This mix is like a condensed version of what you'd hear me play at one, or at any party with the right vibe."

Sunil Sharpe is a shining light in the resurgence of underground techno. Gaining an enviable reputation for his dj sets in the early '00s, Sunil soon received an invitation to play at Berlin's Tresor Club in 2001, marking the start of an intensive involvement in the techno scene. Whilst being a uniquely talented dj (and longtime dj tutor at a third­level college), Sunil also produces various strains of techno that have appeared on labels symbolic of the genre's rougher edge: Black Sun Records, Komisch, Inner Surface, Trensmat, Violet Poison and most notably Blawan & Pariah's Sheworks.

Sunil's gig schedule has increased considerably in the last few years, playing at clubs like Berghain (Berlin), The Hydra (London), Concrete (Paris), Sub Club (Glasgow) and dotting off many other countries along the way. He was also dj of choice on both Karenn European tours, the last of which was marked by his now classic Boiler Room set in London.
Sunil has also (alongside EE:V:002 producer DeFeKT) been responsible for exciting new studio project 'Tinfoil', that has quickly found favour with djs of many persuasions.

Widely considered one of the hallmarks of dub-infused electronic music, as well as an endless resource of inspiration and awe for generations of electronic music artists and enthusiasts, Vibrant Forms II by @Fluxion is now being reissued by Subwax Bcn. Originally released on Mark Ernestus and Moritz von Oswald's revered Chain Reaction label in 2000, the many calls for a reissue of this cavernous masterpiece has finally been answered by the Barcelona imprint.

Fluxion's Vibrant Forms II was his second album on Chain Reaction and it successfully managed to broaden the space and the environment of the compositions, as well as develop further his technique of textural sonic blend.

Bio:
Since 1998 Konstantinos Soublis aka Fluxion has been releasing music on a variety of labels, Chain Reaction, Echocord, Type, and others). Fluxion's output has been referred to as a cornerstone in the Techno/Dub/Ambient genders. His approach of liquid live-organic productions, incorporating techno, dub, ambient, sound design, has formed a signature sound that is point of reference for many producers. His textural environment shifts and harmonic blends, alongside strong rhythmical bursts, create an intelligent motion-picture landscape. Hidden melodic elements alongside sound manipulation form a narrative that everything happens in a smooth transition, like melting one element onto the other to form one big picture. Under the Fluxion moniker K. Soublis has released 7 albums and many ep’s.

Last release:
Reissue of "Vibrant Forms II" on Subwax BCN (originally released on Moritz Von Oswald and Mark Ernestus' Chain Reaction imprint in 2000)

The main themes in the mix centre around wood percussions, thunderous synth pads and chopped Zulu vocals - creating a kind of dark atmospheric sound. It is anthem like, vivid, tribal, abstract in parts and yet specifically dramatic. 

The sound reminds me - in part - of techno in the late 90s where my dj'ing journey began at 'Teknival' and illegal rave party but also has elements of early dubstep which was deep and mystical.

Most of the tracks were new releases that came out of my recent trip to Durban as well as tracks recently sent to me via whatsapp.
 
The mix is a tribute to the artists of my label Gqom Oh!, their crews and friends. It also includes a handful of exclusive tracks from the next release "Gqom Oh! X crudo Volta Mixtape".

It is Rough, rugged and raw. It's riot music.

Electronic Explorations – Japan special
 
Japan has long played a fundamental role in electronic music, from being the home of many of its defining instruments to the early contributions of artists such as YMO, then Fumiya Tanaka, Keni Ishii and DJ Krush, amongst others. In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in the country as another generation of artists has come to the fore, with artists like DJ Nobu, Ena, Ryo Murakami and Goth-Trad gaining international recognition. 

Electronic Explorations has recently featured mixes previously from Japanese producers such as Wata Igarashi and Katsunori Sawa. But geography and language barriers mean that some of the country’s talent is not seen. So for this series we wanted to put the spotlight on the next wave of artists in Japan. All are primarily DJs and at different stages of their respective careers, but each has a distinct and interesting take on electronic music.

Wednesday (水) – Lynne (Tokyo, Japan)

DJ Yazi is a fixture of the Tokyo scene, someone who has been quietly honing his craft for many years. But for whatever reason, it took me a while to discover his abilities. What did it was hearing him in warm up mode. In a slot that too many DJs get wrong, Yazi showed a deep understanding of his role and played beautifully. A similar sense of care and patience is on display in this mix, with Yazi perfectly building the energy as he moves from more abstract sounds into a very heady brand of techno. – [Words: Chris SSG]

Yazi is a core member of Black Smoker records and has appeared at the major clubs in Tokyo and parties throughout Japan. He also performs with Haruka as Twin Peaks, an improvisational live act.

Parisian based DJ and producer and resident of Blocaus in Paris, Anetha has quickly become a prominent figure in the Paris underground music scene. 

Oscillating between acid lines, melancholic melodies, hypnotic patterns and strong grooves, Anetha also likes to mix her sets with a sprinkling of 90’s tracks offering a deep and pulsating journey. 

Production wise, Anetha made her debut on November 2015 with an excellent EP on Spencer Parker’s imprint Work Them Records. Also, released on June 2016 a track called Tomorrow’s DNA on Reclaim Your City on the Paris – Berlin 2.0 EP alongside Francois X, I/Y and Abayomi. 

In October 2016, Anetha and the Blocaus crew presented their new imprint ‘Blocaus Series.’

Recently Anetha signed her first track to Clone Records’ affiliated imprint Anagram "Acid Train" alongside Sinfol, Elad Magdasi and Dävide.

Recording Podcasts, in my eyes, is in most cases something that only transports bits of a story - leaving out the full picture. If you record a DJ set at a club, you ideally will create a narrative that fits the people and the room you are playing for. However, listening back to that recording will leave this important detail out of the picture. Of course, you as the DJ and people that were there that night will "get it", but if you were not there you might be wondering why the DJ played that song, why s/he played softer or harder than usual - it is not clear. 

Recording a mix at home comes with similar problems: Where do you want to take your listener? If you want to deliver a club set, it will not be an authentic recording in the end - I can not record a club set at home, with only my dog in the audience. The energy will never reach the energy a recording from an actual club night will be able to deliver.

For this Electronic Explorations podcast, I recorded two mixes in a way, in which I would play my DJ sets in a club. The results lacked the pressure, the urge and the spontaneous creativity I'd let myself be led by in a sweaty DJ booth. This led me to this conclusion and eventually, I decided to delete both of these recordings and start over.

So one night I went to bed and turned on the radio - Deutschland Radio Kultur, which is a German culture radio station. And they were broadcasting the audio drama "Mein Herz ist Leer" ("My heart is empty") by Werner Fritsch. A dark, possessive voice was reading stitched-together haikus and thereby telling a story of a struggling monk buried in sound-design by Miki Yui. I loved what this story did to me before falling asleep and I could not wait to get up in the morning to try to create a podcast around this story.

My idea was to keep the story alive and become its music supervisor, trying to choose tracks that I loved in 2017 and using them to tell the story, even if you do not understand the German narrator word by word, I was aiming to select sounds, that will, in combination with the ever-present voice of the narrator, drive the story just through the music. At the same time, I tried to create a listening experience that sits between soothing calmness and chilling shudder - just like some of the old Eastern European Christmas tales I've been listening to when I was a child.

I've done a mix like that before at Dommune in 2013, where I took an old Japanese horror story and used the music to drive the story itself. Technically I did it the same way here: Mixing with records and Traktor and using a sampler to launch the bits of the audiobook at the right times.

This mix is a slight departure from my usual ‘tried-and-tested’ format. I wanted to play with a steady 140 BPM throughout, letting melodic elements and sound textures control the flow. It features a blend of recent vinyl releases and some of my digital-only favourites found on bandcamp, as well as a track from the new label I’m starting (Intrepid Skin) and a track my friend Nikolaj exported the very same day I recorded this (Sugar - Dark Side Of The Spoon).

Tailgating SPFDJ is no easy task. Her sharp ascent is born of a taste for dynamics that approach and bank with ecstatic momentum. Occasionally working at vicious speeds, acidic techno climes are funnelled through kaleidoscopic wares from the wealth of high-energy
outposts found across dance music today.

Though hailing from Sweden, SPFDJ’s beginnings were in London as part of the infamous collective Universe of Tang, an ongoing club operation steeped in DIY means and mystifying aesthetics. Then a relocation to Berlin prompted a new chapter of projects and activity, and the chance to import her affiliations.

"This mix isn’t ‘perfect’ but I like it like this, I don't enjoy doing production studio mix’s I much prefer to be mixing like I am in the club it feels more raw and has more personality. I’ve gathered records and tracks from the Artists that have inspired me most this year and some new bits that I’ve been playing out. I wanted to show everything I love from some banging 4/4 to more broken edgy parts. I wanted things to progress growing the BPM and energy." ~ Imogen

Imogen is already seen to be shaping the next generation of Electronic music. Originally from Southampton, Imogen moved to London to study music production and then put her own parties on before she was 18 just to be able to play in the clubs. She first created a platform with her radio residency to showcase already legendary and rising talent, since then things have moved pretty fast for her already playing at Berghain and opening The Moat for Dimensions festival.

Now the winter is approaching Imogen has a string of releases in the pipeline; her first release is coming out this month on Sunil Sharpes label ‘Earwiggle’ along side Giant Swan, Delta Funktionen and Autumns. There is also another piece from her on Mumdance’s Shared Meanings VA out later this year.

EE500 - SPECIAL REQUEST

The Electronic Explorations podcast series has become a much loved and influential archive of dance music’s evolution over the last 11 years. Despite starting way before the medium exploded, and years ahead of the online radio explosion, it has remained utterly vital to this day. It is perfectly fitting, then, that the rather monumental 500th episode is taken care of by Paul Woolford, a producer who has been around just as long and is arguably more relevant than ever. He is a meticulous producer whose music is deeply layered, with finely crafted synths, devastating drums and perfect mix downs. From big piano house to vocal classics via twisted techno, he is impossible to pin-down and, frankly, a wilful contrarian.

The Special Request project started out as an ode to the youth of his pirate radio, to the sheer thrill of illicit raving and the raw power of the breakbeat. By now—two albums and countless EPs on Houndstooth and its own eponymous label later—it is about so much more: it is cinematic sound design, striking ambient, futuristic electro and IDM, soulful 2-step and whatever else Woolford fancies, all crafted to a dizzyingly high standard.

And, predictably, it’s the same story with this podcast, which is a storytelling one hour 45 minutes with a number of different chapters. Starting off as an ambient soundtrack with spoken word snippets and space travel motifs, it could be the recording of a cosmic exploration. 20 minutes later, you’re welcomed to the heart of smoky, strobe lit, euphoric dance floor and taken on a breathless trip through all the unadulterated, heart-on-sleeve and sweat-on-brow sounds that make Special Request such an utterly thrilling project.

“I started to work with Rob Booth on bringing the Special Request project to wider attention through signing to Houndstooth in 2013. Along with Rob Butterworth at the label, the three of us forged a clear connection based on mutual respect and a shared passion for spannered tracks of all persuasions.

“During the first conversation I had with Rob Booth in December 2012, I said to him how much I loved and respected the Electronic Explorations podcast series. The depth and detail in this vast archive of mixes is testament to Rob’s tireless and never-ending quest to look under every possible rock and boulder to see what emerges.

“His obvious delight and enthusiasm in the process is as engaging as it is a joy to behold. Once we had the Soul Music album completed, Rob started to ask me for a contribution to EE, to which I always said, “we’ll get around to it”. We released the Belief System album last year and of course Rob was asking me again for the mix. There was always something in the way, which is often how things can be in this game.

“Fast forward to April this year, and Rob called me in Amsterdam and asked me to do EE500. I immediately agreed and said, “three weeks”. Six months later, after driving Rob up the wall with frustration, I managed to find the time last week to make it happen. I had a right doss banging this lot out. I sincerely hope you enjoy the mix as much as I enjoyed putting it together.”

EE 510 | RRRKRTA       -  [Brutaż fame]
Involved with Brutaż and Światło parties plus the Brutaż label. A proud to be resident of Szpitalna 1 in Kraków.

This mix was recorded live in one take, from records, as usual, with plenty on my mind. I borrowed a mixer (from DJ Dzuma), then my neighbour called the police and had a meltdown just when I started - it was just 7PM! - So I had to head back to Dzuma's place and quickly recorded it there. This is a good place to give a shout out to his party - SYNTETYK is a gorgeous night, may it live forever

I'm involved with Brutaż and Światło parties, I've only just recently dug myself out of a hole and can afford relative stability which I'm trying to apply to my DJ sets. Also, there's this Brutaż label that I supposedly run, next year will bring quite a few records that you might or might not dance to. I like to DJ long and late and I think I can do it well every now and then. I'm proud to be resident of Szpitalna 1 in Kraków and am hoping to buy speakers and achieve some sort of calmness and resources to be at peace with my music and records - and doing that without losing my moody dynamic late-night bubble styles that we managed to develop on our parties.

Brutaż and Światło gigs take place in Warsaw in Kraków every month

I'm releasing my own music but 2019 will bring new Brutaż records, courtesy of Carlo Maria, Mazewski, Solpara and Yamaha Freeride Team/Aheloy - that is, if we can afford it

EE 509 | Chino [Shtum / Altered States]

Multi-disciplinary artist, whose work incorporates music production, live performance and graphic design. An avid mountaineer. Having grown up in the post-industrial bleakness of 90’s Katowice, he was originally drawn to graffiti art, and soon enough to the music that often accompanied it at the time – classic electro and industrial. 

These twin interests have fuelled his creative endeavours ever since, leading him on the one hand to study and eventually teach at the city’s Academy of Fine Arts, and on the other to explore sound and rhythm – from early experiments with desktop micro-sampling, through the discovery of analogue synthesis, all the way to immersing himself in the praxis of live performance, spanning full-impact peak-time sets, far out late night odysseys, and extended offbeat improvisations. 

Deftly integrating a wide array of tools basic and arcane, vintage and state-of-the-art, Chino creates machine music par excellence, with a stark, brutalist property to it, but never without a spark of human soul shining through its dense layers. Even in the studio, he remains a live performer at heart, his output having a lot of the spontaneous intensity of his shows.
Chino is also one of the founders of Radar – originally a creditable (if short-lived) Kraków club, surviving as a collective and an event series, both crucial to the city’s underground scene. Apart from regular performances, and taking part in shaping policy, Chino is in charge of Radar’s visual aspect, where his penchant for converging music and art finds one of its most pronounced outlets.

He has been releasing on Recognition, S1 Warsaw, Holger, Altered States Tapes and Shtum.

His musical exploits have taken him as far as Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Georgia and Albania. And Germany.

Resina is a Polish cellist and composer signed by Fat Cat’s imprint 130701, which has now released two of her solo albums, including this year’s Traces. She’s very well known on local scene as a frequent collaborator of many artists in different genres. Solo, she’s carving her own way in modern classical indebted ambient music. Her second album Traces sees her expanding her sound palette, employing not only otherworldly soundscapes created from heavily looped and processed cello, but also wordless vocals and rhythms. These take inspiration from an obsession with damaged sacral objects, memory, survivors of violence and the ravages of time.

"I was pretty ecstatic to be asked to contribute to this particular mix series as it’s one I’ve been following for a long time. I recorded this mix completely live, as generally I feel more comfortable creating mixes that way as it’s more or less exactly how I would play in a club and I really wanted that style to really come across in this mix. In terms of track selection I wasn’t particularly methodical in my approach, I just compiled a load of music that I’ve recently discovered, loved and that is very dance floor friendly. I wanted to include some variation in terms of genre, however, mainly centering around techno and electro and aiming to increase the BPM as the mix progressed to create something very high energy. I hope you enjoy listening to this mix as much as I enjoyed putting it together." ~ @alexis_andrews

'At different points in her life, Alexis Andrews has lived in Dubai, Amsterdam, Houston and London. If this combination suggests to you a DJ with an open mind, then you’d be right.

After making her start as an assistant and resident at Peckham’s Balamii Radio, Alexis found herself at the centre of a network of international influences whose orbit equipped her with the requisite skills for club fluency. Expect each set to manifest as an onslaught of groove-laced techno, electro, EBM and house, as resistant to trend as criticism.

The same can be said of her production; examples are scarce, but each demonstrates a percussion-forward approach to techno that would find her in good stead amongst the rosters of Die Orakel, Cong Burn, Tobago Tracks and other taste-making outlets.

Clearly, the takeoff is Alexis’ career is imminent; a Noods resident fresh from appearances alongside Objekt, Batu, Ryan Elliot, Paramida and many more, she’s a breath of fresh air in an environment where stagnancy means staleness.'

"I wanted a mix that brought together some older timeless favourites as well as recent ones and at the same time show some of the new tracks from my new album, I hope you enjoy it!" ~ @lockedgrooves

Following a string of EPs on his own eponymous imprint, Locked Groove (@lockedgrooves) presents his debut album - Sunset Service - OUT NOW on Scuba's Hotflush. Employing strands from multiple influences that inform his diverse musical output, he applies a contemporary lens to fragments of EBM, New Beat, trance, rave and techno. With the release of 'Sunset Service' Locked Groove has made a special mix for EE - 

01	VC-118 A - Metric Spaces
02	24ks x Ndsomeware - Dreamtime
03	The Black Dog - Virtual 
04	Aubrey - Elera Passing 
05	Locked Groove - Micromoon 
06	Nomadic - Phonologic
07	Stephen Lopkin - Clyde Built
08	Zargo - Discovery 1420
09	Source - The real Thing
10	Peverelist - Blues (Classic mix) 
11	Steffi - Between Form and Matter
12	Pieces of a Pensive State - Echoic 
13	Karima F - Random Loop from Doepfer Site
14	Lando - Gather Round 
15	Photonz & Shcuro - Sherman 1 
16	Locked Groove Ft Nate Brown - Pudding 
17	Black Scorpion - Teknitron 
18	Placid Angles - A moment away from you

Since debuting with his first EP on Hotflush back in 2012, Locked Groove has delved into various genres to inform his constantly evolving sound. Drawing on an acute melodic ear developed whilst training as a classical pianist, all of his productions are underscored by an inherent sense of musicality. Using a diverse range of influences, he translates their sentiments into hybrid dance floor constructions that look primarily towards the 90s rave culture of Belgium, with a subtle nod to the UK.


Written over a one year period with combination of analog and digital equipment at his Berlin studio, Sunset Service documents the synthesis of a carefully studied musical background into one coherent body of work. Across twelve tracks, Locked Groove forges cathartic build-ups with intricate pads and floating melodies, re-purposing references - both subtle and overt - from the musical subcultures of his Belgian homeland. But although there is a strong connection to the past, these allusions are carefully moulded into a singular, forward-thinking sound.

‘Rave 'Till You Cry’
Came out April 5th 2019 via Disciples

Disciples follow-up the raid on the archives of Black Lodge with ‘Rave 'Till You Cry’ by enigmatic producer Bogdan Raczynski, a collection of unreleased tracks and versions.
 
Raczynski arrived on the scene in 1999 with not one but three albums released in quick succession that year alone on Rephlex Records, a unique operator even by Braindance standards, rumoured to have been discovered by Aphex Twin whilst sleeping rough in Tokyo. A steady stream of records followed, hyperactive broadsides of percussion set off by a winning knack for the buried earworm melody, much like his mentor RDJ. He also memorably collaborated with Björk and remixed Autechre for Warp's ‘10+3’ compilation, but things have been quiet since the release of his last studio album ‘Alright!’ arrived in 2007.

“I can’t believe it’s been almost 2 years since I did a mix for your first show, a lot has changed since then and I’ve moved on. I’ve chilled out a bit but with that comes more space to hear in-between the beats and more interesting sound design. That’s the approach I took with my recent double E.P ‘Lockout’ and the mix follows the same path but with fewer vocals and more beats.
For the mix, elements were taken from all over the place and layered together, a lot of UK funky coming out at the moment reminds me of old techno and warp stuff, mixing new afro-Caribbean influenced stuff like Roska with old Latin influenced Black Dog, Cooly G with Luke Slater”
