THP #010 - SJ

The tenth mix of this series is deliverd to you by the Manchester based DJ and co-founder of the renowned Framework collective: Sam Jeffrey, also known as SJ.

“Having seen artists like Robert Hood in his mid teens, a love for Detroit techno was soon sparked. This led him to all corners of the electronic music spectrum of which he draws inspiration from. An avid digger, he is always looking for fresh tracks with a keen ear in particular for the more hypnotic, driving and darker end of the techno spectrum yet also maintaining a love for emotive tones and grooves, particularly 90s techno.

The main influences on his sound are his idols, DVS1 along with other names such as Kaiser and Stef Mendesidis, and pioneers of the scene such as Jeff Mills, Luke Slater, Regis and Oscar Mulero.

For this mix he aimed for a peak time hour of heads down, no nonsense energetic techno catered strictly towards a pitch black, sweaty dancefloor. Tense and atmospheric, the way it should be.”

As always, enjoy!

Framework co-founder SJ takes the reins for Episode 4 of Yax Invites. Have a read of his bio below, along with some words about his contribution towards the mix series:

I am a 21-year-old DJ based in Manchester UK and co-founder of Manchester based collective and podcast series, Framework. 

My first route into electronic music was around the age of 15 where I started to get in to house music, leading me to gain a strong love for Chicago and Detroit house. Around this time, I basically used to spend hours listening to music on YouTube and through these algorithms I discovered tracks such as Black Russian and all DVS1s early Klockworks releases which remain some of my favourite pieces of music, with DVS1 being my idol and main source of inspiration, and essentially opened up a whole new musical world to me.

This in turn led me deeper into the electronic music spectrum, sparking an interest in Detroit techno, resulting in me seeing artists such as Robert Hood in my mid to late teens. Ever since I have built a strong passion for techno, delving deeper and deeper into the many different facets of the genre which has resulted in my current taste, revolving particularly around deep, sci-fi and mental hypnotic techno as I see this as more than just simply music, it is something much more powerful than that and the ability of music and sonics to alter your mind states and moods on the dance floor is something I find fascinating.

I love the concept of an extended mix series as I feel that extended mixes are the best way to truly portray your sound and tell your story, as opposed to feeling the need to hammer it out from the off which is the instinct that can arise with shorter mixes. 

For this mix I aimed to tell a story, weaving in different atmospheres and textures to build tension and have different twists and turns before ending on some groovier sounds and old school Detroit classics.

Alternating Vitality (1020 Radio) February 22 SJ & Catartsis Guest-Mixes

22 year old Sam Jeffery is an artist whose focus is on what’s real in techno. Sci-fi synths and highly focused drums. Inspired by his idols on techno such as DVS1 but with roots in Chicago house. The only way to describe Sam’s taste would be “real”.

An hour of wild synths, ethereal bleeps and distant textures enjoy this display of taste and mixing skills.
