Dan White/Khotin - Split 12" (NRML017)

The fact we've fielded several mixes from Bristol-based artists and DJs over the duration of our podcast series thus far is a reflection of the city's enduring musical health. It's no coincidence that these mixes from Ekoplekz, Hodge, Ishan Sound, The Kelly Twins and Don't Be Afraid boss Semtek have been among our favourites in the series too. We can add to this list Rhythmic Theory, a man who has committed a wealth of sub-heavy material to local Bristol labels since first surfacing on Chris Farrell and Shanti Celeste's BRSTL back in 2012 with the Twilight Distinction 12".

Whilst his background remains something of a mystery, there can be no denying Rhythmic Theory's potency as a producer who channels the soundsystem heritage of Bristol into a brand of heavyweight corroded techno that sounds thoroughly fresh. Having recently inaugurated Berceuse Heroique offshoot Ancient Monarchy, this year will see a debut Rhythmic Theory album surface through Idle Hands whilst the producer also has material forthcoming on Blackest Ever Black's A14 series.

What better time to reach out for a mix from Rhythmic Theory then? Among the 72 odd minutes of music contained within his submitted selection you will find a rare airing of R&B, a studio collaboration between Rhythmic Theory and the perma-smiling Bruce, forthcoming Kowton, cuts from Joey Anderson and Omar S and hints of the aforementioned upcoming RT material for Idle Hands and A14. We also secured a somewhat rare round of questions and answers with Rhythmic Theory covering how he came to work with Bruce, what to expect from his upcoming debut album and the influence of jungle in his productions.

Following on from the rambunctious results of Bass Clef and Frak swapping tapes, the Schmorgasbord menu is being treated to another unlikely fusion of flavours from positively singular sonic chefs.  

Pev (formerly known as Hatfield Peverel Junglist Massive / Peverelist) has been peerless even since the emergence of the Bristolian dubstep scene. His Punch Drunk label stands as a testament to how they do things differently in the West, while the Livity Sound venture has defined a new language of utterly thrilling soundsystem culture. The zen-like balance of intensity and grace, ugliness and beauty, heaviness and soul makes Pev’s music some of the most essential out there. 

Steevio has a life in music that stretches back to founding the UK’s first electro funk club in Newcastle in the 80s, winding through psyched out acid rock before landing in the thrum of techno. His hands on approach has brought him to a point of full technical control, weaving organic flows of synthesised hits on a towering modular rig customised to funk and bump to the exacting beck and call of its master. As well as crafting a sizable identity around the Mindtours label, alongside his partner Suzybee he has crafted one of the single most important community gatherings for electronic music and human beings in the 21st century, Freerotation. 

As long time friends through the festival connection, Pev & Steevio agreed to embark on a release for Schmorgasbord that resulted in two staggering original tracks being reworked in wildly diverse ways. Pev took a classic remix approach and turned Steevio’s “Seren” into a tense and thrilling techno throwdown, while Steevio took the MIDI pattern information from Pev’s “Edges” and made it sing through his modular.

Title :	 Modular Techno Vol 4
Style : 	 Techno

Release :   late June 2016

'Following the release of 2015’s Animistas album on Mindtours, Steevio returns with the fourth and final volume in the Modular Techno series after starting the project in 2012. 
Initially conceived in 2009 as he moved his studio practice towards a purely outboard, analogue, modular synthesiser set up, the Modular Techno series has charted the development of Steevio’s exploration of this working practice both on record and on stage. The work involved in live appearances across the UK and Europe over the past four years have fed into the creative process, with rehearsals for sets often yielding the material that has ended up on vinyl. 
Volume 4 is arguably the darkest instalment in the series to date, dealing in a strict economy of minimalist rhythms and off-key melodic touches while still easily identified as the unmistakable tones and distinctive grooves of Steevio. In the grand tradition of techno as visionary music, the dystopian tone that lingers throughout Modular Techno Vol 4 points to a future of uncertainty, but this is far from nihilistic music; always within the darkness remains a glimmer of hope.' - words Oli Warwick

In these genre bending times, the idea of fusing together artists from different corners of electronic music is not so novel. That was the original raison d'etre of Schmorgasbord when it launched with a collaboration between Appleblim and October, but it fast became apparent that the importance was not in what style each artist was, but more more how they would approach the crossover situation. With a leaning towards adventurous, non-conformist musicians, the early test results have shown that the least predictable result is the most likely outcome. From lopsided electro to gurgling acid, freaked out house to snappy dubstep, nothing is quite normal around the meeting point of the Schmorgasbord meal table, but it sure is tasty. 

Now, the focus is simply on encouraging artists who would never normally collaborate to share ideas and fuse their creative energies whichever way seems appropriate, from swapping tapes to sharing studio time, to the good old fashioned remix exchange. Quite how this will manifest in the future is anyone's guess, but isn't that always the most exciting way to be?&#13;
