the orb, friends & remixes

KLF it's Grim up North

We’re long term admirers of the The Orb here at Data Transmission; known for their assimilation of deepest dub into their stratospheric sonic innovations we were more than a little excited to receive news that they would be following up the release of their second ‘History Of The Future’ compilation with a new album for German techno institution Kompakt Records this summer.

Titled ‘Moon Building 2703 AD’ the album will follow up their 2005 LP ‘Okie Dokie It's The Orb On Kompakt’ with founding member Alex Paterson describing the work as “a solid piece of music that mutates into an eight legged lunar Land Rover and takes off into a cosmic horizon of a million sounds, patterns and textures. It spins the listener on his/her head, rewiring their brains to maximum capacity, then brings them home, sweet home.”

With their new album arriving June 22nd we thought there was no better time than now to welcome the seminal outfit to deliver a mix for the DT podcast and we're delighted to inform you that they most certainly haven't disappointed. Check. It. Out.

The KLF were a British acid house band of the late 1980s and early 1990s.  Eternity is a recurring theme in song titles ("3 a.m. Eternal", "Madrugada Eterna") hence the title of this mix. Following the February 1990 release of Chill Out, sheep had recurring roles in the duo's output until their 1992 retirement. Drummond has claimed that the use of sheep on the Chill Out cover was intended to evoke contemporary rural raves and the cover of the Pink Floyd album Atom Heart Mother. Drummond and Cauty's work often involved notions of ceremony and journey. Journeys are the subject of the KLF Communications recordings Chill Out, Space, "Last Train to Trancentral", and also Adventures beyond the Ultraworld. 

The Chill Out album depicts a journey across the U.S. Gulf Coast. I took that approach in making this tribute mix. Some British friends suggested I make this mix but in the beginning, I had no idea what to do, and more importantly how to do it. Most of what you’ll hear on the mix, is random and improvised. I only used one track from Chill out, most of the material is bootlegs, fan mixes, remix projects by fans and DJ's, samples used by KLF, remixes, moon landings, all accompanied by the movie The Rites Of Mu (Narrated By Martin Sheen). I hope it will be a rewarding voyage to you! At 3 a.m. eternal or eternal down (Madrugada eterna)… ? ? ? 

 "Madrugada Eterna" is Spanish for "Eternal Dawn".

The Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu made their return in Liverpool and proved they're just as visionary and unpredictable as ever. 23 years on from burning a million quid on the Scottish Isle of Jura, Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty took 400 'volunteers' on a journey through a series of bewildering and highly exciting 'situations', adding to their already heady mythos with their '2023' trilogy before unveiling their most ambitious project yet; The People's Pyramid.

This is a recording of Greg Wilson at the final Graduation Ball, where he played on a bill alongside DJ Food and the much hyped #BadgerKull. Here's a full lowdown on Welcome To The Dark Ages: http://www.superweirdsubstance.com/jams-klf-dark-ages

Recorded on the anniversary of JFK's assassination and 21 years after their historic '92 New Year mix on Kiss 100 FM, Coldcut meets The Orb inna Uptown Youth House for the Return Trip. Matt Black and Jonathan More alongside studio accomplice Dor Wand got suitably enhanced with Dr LX Paterson and Youth for a multi-player late night jam session lasting over 3 hours. They then entrusted the multitracks of the set to DJ Food who heroically edited, condensed and massaged the sprawling swamp of sound into a tight - but also loose - 2 hour Solid Steel session.

Swimming through the mix are Lee Perry, Killing Joke, Sun Ra, William Burroughs, Teebs, Ry Cooder, Actress, Prince Jammy, Iggy Pop, Monty Python, Hank Williams and Hal 9000. Alongside unreleased dubs from the players themselves, remixes and versions of tunes old and new, the complete track listing for this marathon set may never be fullly disclosed. It's 2 hours, 10 minutes of sonic secrets to melt your mind, probably best listened to in headphones late at night with all suitable facilities for the full effect. Enjoy this trip.

Sean Bauzay is back! A raver child of the mid-90's, Sean was born into electronic music during the heyday of Florida Breaks. He was sucked into the scene on the strengths of groundbreaking acts like Rabbit In The Moon, DJ Icey and Baby Anne. Besides those artists, he counts other prominent acts he's followed since the mid-'90 as influences, such as Überzone, Crystal Method, Chemical Brothers, The Orb and Prodigy. He attended parties at venues where the music mattered, like The Edge in Fort Lauderdale and multiple rave festivals, like Zen and Ultra, at its genesis.

Sean's love for electronic music expanded to embrace Progressive House during the late '90s rise of that genre, when innovative artists like Sasha & Digweed caught his attention. On the cusp of a new millennium, Sean felt called to throw his own hat into the DJ ring in 1999, and found swift success. He developed a personal style that was a mix of Breaks and Progressive House that worked like magic on the dance floors that he rocked. In 2001, he took top prize in a DJ competition with popular nightlife website, cooljunkie.com, which awarded him a slot on the decks at the infamous Club Space in Miami, at it's storied, original location. He opened for local, Miami fave, Edgar V. One of Sean's proudest accomplishments as a DJ was playing several Hallucination Recordings parties in Ybor City with Rabbit In The Moon duo, DJ Monk and David Christophere (aka Confucius), and DJ Three. They were amongst Sean's biggest influences, and he now counts them as friends.

Sean went on to play at many of the top venues in Miami, including Liquid, Living Room, Crobar and  Level. The scene was starting to change, though. Sean was uncomfortable with the shift towards commercialization in the electronic music and club scene. Things were also shifting from vinyl to digital format. Sean, a purist, finally showed up at a club with his records to play, and they had no turntables. Sean was becoming estranged from a scene that was becoming full of itself – more about the glitz, and less about the music and craft.

Sean decided to go back to his roots as a drummer. To this day, he still drums professionally, most recently backing Morrison, an up and coming Miami singer, guitarist and songwriter, who was just named “Best Solo Act” by Miami New Times for 2019.

In recent years, Sean started getting the itch to DJ, again. He still felt a pull towards electronic dance music and it's driving beats and booming bass lines. Bass is in his blood.  New styles of music were forming. New subcultures were forming in the dance world.

It didn't take long for Sean to rise back into prominence in the Miami dance music scene. He held a residency with the successful and growing “Ritual” party. Ritual is headed by Sean's long time friend and fellow DJ, RC (Robert Cournoyer), who was a big influence in getting Sean back into the DJ game. At Ritual, Sean has played with international acts, like SIS and Djuma Soundsystem, as well as prominent local acts, like Fiin, Patrick M and Magician on Duty.

Watch out for Sean Bauzay! He is back with a vengeance!
