Steevio is perhaps one of the most influential electronic artists
you’ve never come across. With more than forty years of
knob-twiddling experience, this modular magician boasts
enough cable to bring you to the moon and back. Away from
the blinking racks, Steevio runs music festivals, like
Freerotation, manages record labels and generally paves the
way. Now this pioneer and Firescope are teaming up for a very special EP.
With Acatalepsy, this veteran dives deep into his machines before resurfacing with four tracks of melting organic
techno. “Tarantism” comes to life with drums, percussive textures that prove fertile ground for ever more
intricate patterns while orange blossom keys bloom. From understated chatter, a hive of beats soon forms around
“Cynefin” as dewy notes float on the warmth of a new dawn. The natural world is an integral part of these
compositions, the industrious movement of rhythms, the change and reshaping that comes with growth. Another
presence on the 12” is the musician himself and his own influences. These early inspirations come to the fore in
the hazy hi-hats of “Oxytocin” with its satellite-like bleeps and dreamy basslines that echo both the armchair and
club of sounds of 90s techno. Those bleeps grow ever more distant in the fragile finale of “Intonation.” A melody
precariously perches, thawing like ice, above delicate echoes that ghost behind modular bulges as drums fade.
Acatalepsy encapsulates the ephemeral nature of sound. Through this selection of one-off recordings, through
these live jam sessions, Steevio captures a palpable and primal energy with an expert’s ear. An EP that casts spells
from beginning to end, an EP from a true waveform wizard.

Steevio - Seren CLIP

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.

Label : 	 Mindtours
Cat no.	 MT18
Artist :	 Steevio
Title :	 Modular Techno Vol 4
Style : 	 Techno
Label Art : Suzybee
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

Premiere:  Circle of Live - Live at Freerotation 2018(Mathew Jonson, Steevio)

12" / Streaming / Download via: http://lnk.to/COL002

In the shadows of a soft-shell giant 
a group of seven astronauts. 
entered Space and Free Rotation. 
Guided by mr Holmes
abstract improvisation took place
in the purple heart; surrounded by fluffy sheep, 
and left us all in silence.

For the second release on their recently launched imprint, Circle Of Live is proud to present Live At Freerotation 2018.

The follow-up to Loop For Today is comprised of select cuts from an improvised live performance during this year's Freerotation festival.The artists took over the main stage with an unscripted, freeform live performance from open till close.

Offering a recorded first glimpse into the free-flowing experimental set-up currently touring top European venues, the EP is a collaborative soundscape with contributions from Dorisburg, Johanna Knutsson, Mathew Jonson, Sebastian Mullaert and Steevio.With no prior planning whatsoever aside from an agreed BPM, the recording presented on this unique release offers a snapshot into the imperfections and charm of truly improvised live performance - a refreshing notion in today’s overproduced musical climate. Conceptually, the EP can be understood as more of an open-ended argument in favour of spontaneity and collaboration than a collection of tracks.

Envisioned and created by Sebastian Mullaert, Circle Of Live represents an organic process which aims to detach itself from the habitual routines of dance music, to allow the weird and wonderful elements of collaborative performance to truly come to life. Utilising Sebastian’s unique live set-up which can accommodate any number of participants at once, artists drop in and out and collaborate as much or as little as they like.

COL002 captures the best of Circle Of Live at Freerotation, an odyssey of sound, with rich textures providing a grounding for playful melodic and percussive improvisations. Gently rolling kick and bass patterns drift in and out, carrying the listener along, whilst analogue call and responses showcase the pure synergy of the artistic interplay.

Sebastian Mullaert and Circle Of Live continue to tour Europe with select guest performers and have upcoming shows in Barcelona (Nov 24th @Nitsa), Amsterdam (Dec 14th @Shelter), Berlin (Dec 20th @Funkhaus), Munich (Jan 11th @Blitz), Brussels (Jan 26th @Fuse) and London (Feb 2nd @Village Underground).

Hi Steevio here,
I'm an electronic musician and along with Suzybee run the Mindtours Record label and organise the Freerotation Electronic Music Festival.
All the music on here is recorded live on analogue hardware, and from 2009 all my music is jammed live on a modular synthesizer.

I perform with anaimator/VJ Suzybee as; Steevio & Suzybee (Live AV)

Some older music here can be purchased on vinyl from the Mindtours website - http://www.mindtours.co.uk
Mindtours vinyl is now distributed by Rubadub and previously by Diamonds & Pearls

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;
