Radio Buttons #107 - Club Chow

For the 106th entry in the Honcho Podcast series, we welcome Chicago's @clubchow! Club Chow is a Taiwanese-American DJ and rave enthusiast currently based in Chicago. With a few different residencies, he delights in soundtracking a broad range of LGBTQ scenarios, from daytime events (Dim sum & drag, Mom Jeans), cruisey evenings at Steamworks Baths, to late nights at Berlin Nightclub or the occasional DIY function

A word about the mix:

With the long Chicago winter drawing to a close, I wanted to make a mix with a more distinct sense of transition as opposed to riding a particular vibe. It starts with a psychedelic spoken word track, builds with some tropical imagery and 2000s-era trippy tech, and ends somewhere else… hopefully joyous?

In a relatively short space of time, London-based imprint Lobster Theremin has become one of the most talked about record labels in the city. Helmed by Jimmy Asquith, the label has caught people's attention with a slew of releases that skirt the outer edge of house, techno and electro, often from little known artists.

The label boss has put together an hour long mix of pure Lobster fire consisting of tracks that are yet to drop and some of the best that have come out so far. Get ready for 100% Lobster Theremin.

Richard Vergez launched the Night Foundation project with little fanfare in 2016, with several tracks and a new artist page appearing inconspicuously late at night in the UK time zone. With him already being a part of the Lobster network - producing the iconic collages that burnished the stellar Raw MT 'Richard's Revenge' and Hedge Maze 'Kerb Hits' releases - it wasn't long before Lobster Theremin's Jimmy Asquith became literally the 12th play of these new tracks via the usual social media algorithmic attraction.

Soaring solo synth expeditions came floating from the tinny 3am laptop. With headphones and a better system; a full sonic explosion of raw hardware warmth, twinkling icicles and soft landing pads. 

Nostalgic, interlocking melodies and slow drawn-out synth lines that nod back to the psych rock workouts of Steve Hillage and even elements of Pink Floyd. A steady and studied extended improv evoking patience, peace and interstellar harmony. Formed of three completely individual yet inseparable parts, Memory Bells is a touching and truly special body of work. Evocative, immersive and another Lobster Sleep Sequence catalogue entry for quieter times.

Artist notes: 
Songs were produced with all hardware: Arp Odyssey, DX7, tape loops, and trumpet.

The Intergalactic Research Institute for Sound presents DE, a compilation of various artists representing Georgian electronic and ambient music.

დე / DE is a compilation of music from artists of different backgrounds getting together in order to showcase the dynamic influences within the Georgian scene. 
Tbilisi is getting worldwide recognition at the moment for its booming club scene, but what this project aims to illustrate is what is happening outside of the club context.

Natalie Beridze who has been performing worldwide since 2004 is known as the first female electronic music artist in Georgia, Rezo Glonti has built his studio inside the hull of his boat, and Zesknel is a resident of the renowned Bassiani club, while MYI and Severiane were discovered thanks to Myspace, Soundcloud, and word-of-mouth. All these talents manage in their own ways to present დე / DE, with murky and melancholic cuts.

Melancholia is at the core of beauty in Georgia. That is not the case in Germany and many other cultures, where melancholia is often charged and bound to a negative feeling, which some might perceive as weakness. Consequently, one could be tempted to say that even if it‘s electronic music, DE has a traditional Georgian quality. But that would be putting art in boxes or cases — because what is Georgian art nowadays, when so many artists from this origin are scattered around? As Giorgi Maisuradze states in his mission statement for DE, “the world is their home”.

დე / DE[da]:

A1 Rezo Glonti – Mentors
A2 MYI – And they Lost
A3 Irakli – Forgotten Melodies
B1 Natalie Beridze TBA – Waves Future
B2 Zesknel - კი. სორა. ტორი.
B3 Severiane – Untitled 4144

For techno in Amsterdam, few do it better than Sandrien. The Dutch native has been collecting records in her hometown for the best part of two decades, and became a staple of the city’s underground scene through MAD2 – the club night she ran with friend Carlos Valdes. Building on the success of MAD2 she went onto establish Imprint – the night she’s best known for – which she ran at the much-loved Trouw club up until its closure at the beginning of 2015. In the years since she’s been playing out increasingly beyond the Dutch capital, with 2017 seeing her tour Asia and stop off in Berlin for regular appearances. This rise in popularity is a real testament to her prowess as a selector.

On 14th October she makes her Farringdon debut, so we didn’t hesitate in inviting her to record a mix for us to introduce herself. For her mix, she dropped a carefully-curated selection of ambient, IDM, broken beats and techno, before discussing her record digging habits and the scene in her hometown.

Sandrien plays RM2 on 14/10: fabricldn.co/eeskw9
