MNMT 473 : Axis Alpha

79번째 벌트 팟캐스트는 앱스트랙 테크노의 경계를 넘어 강한 음향적 색채의 리듬과 텍스처로 댄스 플로어에 활력을 불어넣는 스웨덴 듀오 SHXCXCHCXSH의 80분 세트와 함께 합니다. 

“테크노, 아방가르드 같은 비현실적인 용어의 경계를 넘나드는 SHXCXCHCXSH는 지난 10년간 드라마틱함 보다는 음악적이고 음향적인 기교를 쌓아왔다. 숭배와 도피 모두에서 벗어난 이들의 음악은 살아 있고자 하는 원초적인 충동을 구현하며, 정반대의 매력을 지닌 이들의 공연은 댄스 플로어의 핵심을 해체하여 소비자가 추구하고 즐기는 모든 것을 끊임없이 파괴하고 다시 창조한다.”

The 79th episode of vurt podcast features an 80-minute set from SHXCXCHCXSH, the Swedish duo who pushes the boundaries of abstract techno, of sonic rhythms and textures and what they can do to a dancefloor.

"While borderlining the loupe of impractical terms, such as techno or avantgarde, the Swedish duo has for the past decade built a reputation for their sonic finess rather than clear dramaturgy.
Away from idolatry and escapism their music embodies a primitive urge to be alive.
Opposites attract and within that framework their performance continues to be a four leafed clover in contemporary club environments worldwide. By deconstructing the core of tomorrows dance floors SHXCXCHCXSH continually manage to create and destroy everything the consumer seek and enjoy. Where context is nothing impression is everything and the beholder remains in center."

80번째 벌트 팟캐스트는 스페인 지로나를 중심으로 2000년대부터 활동해온 전설적인 테크노 프로듀서, 30drop의 1시간 디제이 세트와 함께 합니다. 

일렉트로닉 음악 작곡가이자 라이브 연주자, 30D 레이블의 운영자인 30drop은 바르셀로나의 전성기 때 유년 시절을 보내며 포스트 펑크, 고스, 그리고 일렉트로닉 음악에 빠져들었고, 90년대 중반 바로셀로나의 전설적인 클럽들 - Nitsa, KGB, Moog, Syndicate에서 시데랄(Sideral)이나 앙헬 몰리나(Angel Molina) 같은 로컬 디제이들의 세트를 들으며 성장했다. 2000년대에 들어 테크노, 실험음악, 인더스트리얼 장르에 깊이 빠져든 그는 30drop이라는 가명을 만들고 40~50년대 미래 공상 과학 소설과 클래식 디트로이트,  버밍엄 테크노에서 영감을 받은 새로운 테크노 음악을 만들기 시작했다. 이후 그는 Berghain, Tresor, Moog 등의 세계적인 클럽에서 공연하는 유럽 일렉트로닉 뮤직 씬의 주요 인물이 되었고, 2014년에는 기능적이면서 동시에 실험적인 댄스 음악을 위한 플랫폼 30D Records를 설립하여 현재까지 이어오고 있다.
30drop은 2015년 Detroit Underground 레이블에서 첫 정규앨범 ‘Tools For The Dimensional Step(2015)’를 발표한 이후, 제프 밀스(Jeff Mills)가 운영하는 전설적인 Axis Records에서 ‘Soroban(2020)’과 Photosynthetic Zone Manifesto(2021)’, 30D 레코즈를 통해 ‘The Time Of Cruel Miracles(2017)’, ‘Insight Into Mind And Space(2023)’를 발매하는 등, 현재까지 총 5장의 정규 앨범과 수많은 EP 앨범들을 발표했다.

80th vurt podcast features a one-hour DJ set from 30drop, a legendary techno producer/live performer/DJ based in Girona, Spain since the 2000s..

Electronic music composer, Live performer and 30D label owner 30drop was born and raised in Barcelona where he first fell in love with post-punk, goth and electronic music during the city’s post-Olympia heyday. At the time, Spain was bursting at the seems with new artistic and cultural energy culturally in the wake of the ‘La Onda Layetana’ cultural movement in Barcelona in the late 70s and the ‘La Movida’ movement in Madrid in the 80s. 
30drop spent the mid-90s between legendary clubs Nitsa, KGB, Moog or Syndicate (in neighboring Terrassa) and various local skate parks, where tapes of the previous nights' sets by local heroes such as Sideral or Angel Molina were played and traded. Delving deeper into techno, experimental and industrial electronics in the 2000s, he adopted the 30drop moniker in reference to the drop-frame time code used for synching 1950s US black and white TV images to sound. He eventually began making music inspired by Russian, British and American retro- futuristic science fiction of the 40s and 50s, as well as classic Detroit and Birmingham techno. 
Since 2014 he has become a staple of the European electronic music scene, playing venues such as Berghain, Tresor, Moog Club, etc. The same year he also established his own 30D records imprint as a platform for both functional and more experimental strains of dance music. 
As a producer, 30drop combines elements of industrial, bleep techno and electro with polyrhythmic melodies and evocative soundscapes, creating create music that is both functional and listenable outside of the club context. He was released five full length albums, including Soroban (2020) and Photosynthetic Zone Manifesto (2021) on Jeff Mills’ legendary Axis Records, as well as Tools For The Dimensional Step (2015) on the Detroit Underground imprint, The Time Of Cruel Miracles (2017) and Insight Into Mind And Space (2023) on his own 30D Records, where he also collaborated with Gerald Donald (as Arpanet) for the split EP Phases (2018).

Clarence Rise is a French techno producer and DJ, whose sometimes dark but always introspective music draws on his deep connection with nature and the twists and turns of the psyche. His compositions combine complex rhythmics with organic sound design, diving listeners in hypnotic, immersive soundscapes.

"This podcast is shaped to be the most faithful representation of what I imagine for a Hypnotic Techno set: a journey through limbo, cold and minimalist, and clubs, thunderous and sweaty, in a progressive duality that aims at self-abandonment."

Scøpe, a Korean techno producer/DJ and administrator of SCOPAVIK Podcast, is now . Composition methods encompassing atonal music, experimental music, spectral music, minimal music and etc. that he had learned when he majored in contemporary music composition, and rhythmical elements of Jazz and Black music that he has had deep interest in since his childhood altogether largely influenced the music that he pursues now, and he is now on his way of establishing his own world of music with many remix tracks and EP releases.

His dynamic DJ sets almost push the listeners into trance by eliciting their subconscious movements with new grooves which rhythmical structures in each track organically intertwine with each other and incrementally accumulate into, and then all of a sudden lead them to a lyrical tone, thus presenting listeners with the type of joy that only techno music can deliver by creating an intersection between reason and instinct.

One last mix to end the year. When Svreca sent me this set, he could not have known what it would mean to me. I have spent so much time looking back lately, reliving old discussions and re-imagining moments passed, often lamenting how much was lost along the way. In just under three hours this mix communicates the flow of years. An archived recording from a special memory, it reminds me that the passage of time is beautiful even in what it fades away. Listening to it, I become lost completely, as though I am everywhere at once.

Thank you to everyone who listened this year, who sent warm messages and left comments, who supported us and kept us feeling connected. Thank you to the artists who continue to give their time and trust to the podcast and label, and keep us moving forward.

Finally, thank you Svreca for this gift and for being an inspiration from the very beginning. We're all here listening. Let's dive in.
