Syd Arthur - Hometown Blues (Psychemagik Remix)

Article: http://www.factmag.com/2014/08/04/fact-mix-454-daniel-avery/

There’s no gimmick with Daniel Avery, no hook. He is, as his Discogs page puts it, a “DJ and producer from England.”

And really, that should be the only hook you need. Since focusing on making music under his real name in the early ’10s (though he was DJing and producing for several years before then), the one-time studio assistant of Andrew Weatherall has been steadily developing from record to record, combining house and techno structures with dynamics that betray his love of oddball guitar music and ’90s alt-rock. Like Weatherall, and like Downwards’ Regis, Avery recognises the limitless potential to hypnotise by getting as weird as possible over a 4×4 pulse, and on his debut album Drone Logic (the clue’s in the name), he uses 4×4 as a canvas to paint Bosch-esque visions of disembodied voices, tripped-out rabbit-holes and more.

Of course, it also bangs when it has to –  Avery’s no floor-clearer. In fact, he’s become one of the UK’s most celebrated DJs of recent years, contributing to the BBC Essential Mix series and releasing a mix CD for Fabric. Avery’s FACT mix – no tracklist, spotters – comes on the eve of a new residency for Fabric, Divided Love. The first Divided Love takes place on August 15, and features sets from hallowed electro unit Dopplereffekt, Helena Hauff and Factory Floor, Volte-Face and Avery himself.

“The club has been with me from the beginning so starting my own night there feels genuinely exciting”, explains Avery. “Divided Love will be about presenting acts who are doing something special… sonic souls, faith affirmers, music for the mind.”

Tracklist and full article: http://www.factmag.com/2015/01/12/fact-mix-478-panda-bear/

The Animal Collective co-founder sets his sights on the dancefloor.

Panda Bear's relationship with dance music is an interesting one. He's been releasing dance records as early as 2002, when he collaborated with Other Music's Scott Mou for minimal techno experiments under the name Jane, but for his latest album Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper, he was a little more cautious with the drums, telling FACT's Aimee Cliff that "I feel like the usage of the drum breaks was kind of a gamble for me."

"I don’t think I ever felt like I had figured out a way of entering into that room where I wasn’t just making some kind of lame copy of something else, something that felt like a costume or felt artificial", he continued. "So after I started making a couple of these tracks and utilising these breaks, I feel like I found a way of dealing with them that still felt genuine."

Drum breaks aren't restricted to dance music of course, and Meets the Grim Reaper feels just as inspired by hip-hop and r'n'b (9th Wonder was cited as a particular influence prior to the album's announcement). Panda Bear clearly enjoys a refreshingly naive relationship with dance though, and it shines through on his FACT mix. The mixing is unflashy, letting anthems like Pepe Bradock's 'Deep Burnt' and Jack J's 'Something (On My Mind)' play in close-to-full, while the inclusion of Eric Copeland - a peer of Panda's from the New York experimental scene whose last release came on dance label L.I.E.S. - should come as no surprise. King Tubby, Aphex Twin and 13th Floor Elevators also feature.

Blanck Mass - Detritus

In January I recorded a DJ mix for the great website "A Strangely Isolated Place" ( http://astrangelyisolatedplace.com ). The mix turned into a deep and emotional journey reaching from ambient to slow techno and electronica. If you're up for a deep journey I highly recommend it ... And as always; a lot of music from me in the mix; this time mostly Wa Wu We and Ooze music ... Both released and unreleased. 

Wish you a joyful journey, 
Sebastian Mullaert

There isn’t anything quite like getting lost in the foggy, twisting works that Alex Koenig makes as Nmesh.

His albums — 2013’s Nu.Wav Hallucinations and 2014’s Dream Sequins — were sprawling, overwhelmingly dense collage pieces made from commercials, samples from the depths of YouTube, and synth textures that ran from silly elevator Muzak to bad trip psychedelia to moments of startling beauty. As you stumbled through those sonic labyrinths you’d encounter others — disembodied voices, drifting through like ghosts. The chatter could shift from mundane to hilarious, from terrifying to emotionally resonant.

Still, his albums are laser-focused compared to the impossibly huge worlds Koenig builds on his mixes. His 260-minute (that’s 4.20 in hours) Welcome To The Warp Zone mix for TinyMixTapes moved through each of its extended thematic sections like some kind of giant, slow-breathing beast. It was an easy pick for our Bandcamp Release Of The Month — but more importantly, it was a clear sign that we had to get this guy to do FACT mix.

So now at just a single second over two hours, we present this double-wide FACT mix from Nmesh. It’s a hell of a ride, with a generous double-dip of LSD and all the peaks and valley that come with that. Here you’ll find the sonic trickery of iconic plunderphonics originator John Oswald holding court with anonymous vaporwave producers while Hype Williams and James Ferraro nestle in with Raymond Scott. It ties all these voices — young, old, dead, legendary, undiscovered, anonymous — together into a legacy of sonic adventuring with Koenig as a welcome host.

Blanck Mass - No Lite (Genesis Breyer P-Orridge DREAMACHINE MIX)

»LA DEMEURE; il y a péril en la demeure« is the opening to a five-part complex of works by artist grischa lichtenberger. »LA DEMEURE« – the residence – could be outlined as intimacy, a symbol of isolation and privacy: the joy of being withdrawn from economic, temporal or social restraints in the confinement of a home. it owes gratitude to a protective otherness, a hospitality that leaves a trace in all the works deriving from this freedom. the double bind of an enabling retreat (la demeure) and the remaining (demeurer) trace of this otherness in it generates the central tension of »LA DEMEURE; il y a péril en la demeure«.

the single tracks on »LA DEMEURE; il y a péril en la demeure« and their components are constantly ruptured, disassembled and reassembled again. some passages allude to a weird fractured version of pop music, others may evoke associations to a disjointing music box, to something mechanical that is not working as it should. the time signatures of the tracks are constantly subjected to a mangling and squelching process, all the while keeping a constant rhythmical flow.
in his very own way, grischa lichtenberger is examining limits, new experiences and unfulfilling expectations. this unfilteredness and rawness, the lack of a target group the music is made for, is what is fascinating about this record. »LA DEMEURE; il y a péril en la demeure« thus becomes a luxurious-kafkaesque collection of materials, an uncensored archive of a seeker.

»LA DEMEURE; il y a péril en la demeure« will be released on CD and accompanied by three vinyl EPs that will place the experiment in relation to the public. the five-part cycle will be completed with a second album focusing on »IL Y A PÉRIL EN LA DEMEURE« – exigent circumstances – a legal term which allows law enforcement to break into the private residence because of an imminent danger (péril).
