Radio Slave - RJ

After the success of the first A-sides compilation in 2012, Adam Beyer has decided its time to release another. With Adam’s stature steadily growing as one of the leading talents in the Techno scene and the rise of Drumcode, the standard of demo’s that have been sent to Adam have been top notch. Adam has now decided to release two compilations with 10 tracks each, consisting of tracks that Adam has tried and tested. There are also new artists that have been invited to release on Drumcode for this compilation and others who are a staple in Drumcode’s core family. Combining both old and new talents Drumcode have come up with something unique and distinctive to make this two-part compilation something extra special.

Clarence - Deep Skyes [ECOUL SND]

He describes his style as “techno adventures between jungle and space.” We definitely agree on that one. We are glad to welcome Patrick Siech for our 59th podcast. It is not a coincidence we yet again welcome a Swedish grandmaster. It is simply a fact that Sweden is blessed with great producers and dj’s. During the last years Patrick has released his music on Drumcode, Parabel, Break New Soil, Phobiq , MB Elektroniks and Octopus Music. For this occasion, our residents Thomas Vrijhof and STØRM have set up a few questions for Patrick. Read below his answers.
C: It’s a pleasure having you on the show Patrick. We read somewhere that you are a well-known promoter in Sweden. Are you still active as a promoter now-a-days ?
P: I started out DJing at the late 90s, and at some point me and a couple of friends started throwing parties because there were not many good clubs to play at in my home town;  a student city called Lund, in the south. I was really lucky that the nights became so popular, because no clubs played techno here back then. I haven’t been promoting nights since 2008 or so. You have a thousand worries concerning the club, not even to mention the financial part. 

C: As a DJ/promoter you’ve probably experienced many club nights. What would be the perfect night for you as a dj? What artists would be on the bill and etc? 
P: The gig that i remember as my best so far was probably when playing Sunday evening at the Berghain main floor, where everyone on the floor is completely susceptible to every little move you make as a selector. The vibe of that place just gives back so much more energy than you put in. And that’s a place where you pretty much give it all :) This is probably why DJs there can keep up the 10-12hr closing sets. It’s a very special feeling of energy, unity, and responsibility to the ravers, that is unique to that DJ booth. It was actually my birthday also, so it’s probably the closest to a perfect gig I’ve had so far.
The question about the perfect night is one that i think about often. There’s a lot of things that has to come together. But there is one main thing I try to think about regarding the DJ: Some DJs has got the ability to bring out a very primal tribal behaviour in the crowd. They’re able to suck you in, hypnotize and unite all the individuals in the dance floor into one single collective mind, giving everyone on the floor the feeling that they’re experiencing a very special unity through the music. This is the kind of DJing that inspires me. 
The latest set like this i experienced was Donato Dozzy at Breakfast Club on ADE, he always captures the ravers in a very special way. He would probably be on my bill. On the top of my head Joel Mull always does it as well, Omar S, Efdemin, Radio Slave and Sebastian Mullaert from Minilogue, they all got the unite-the-ravers-thing going.

C: What would be the most extra-ordinary or weird situation you have ever experienced as a DJ? 
P: Around 6-7 years ago I still played control vinyls with my computer. A small club gig, and it wasn’t very busy, but suddenly when I looked away and talked to a friend my laptop was hijacked by a drunk girl who tried to open my Spotify…  Pretty much the track-request-clubber taken to its extreme. This was the last time i ever took my computer on stage.

C:We’ve noticed some unreleased material of you have been used in some mixes of fellow dj’s, any particular releases we should look out for? 
P: I’ve got a new one with Sebastian Mullaert coming out soon., it will be vinyl only. And I have tons of stuff that I’m just sitting on myself at the moment, thinking about what to do with. So when you hear them played, it’s normally only by really close friends who I’ve sent the tracks to for feedback. 

C: Thank you Patrick for taking your time to records this podcast and chatting with us. 
P: Thank you very much for having me, I hope you will feel the mix and what I’m trying to express with it!


CLAYDRUM / 059 - Patrick Siech

The duo make their debut to Drumcode Limited with a heavy, two track release. The EP showcases a mix of their talents and influences to create a moody, dark techno groove. The atmospheric EP is enriched with gritty reverbs and a deep kick drum and the slow, deep crescendos in each track create an intense sound. Mullaert and Siech prove themselves again with a powerful offering to Drumcode Limited.

The "Reconnection" EP by @rhauder and Paul St. Hilaire will be released through @ornaments-music on July 25. More info: bit.ly/RhauLaire

Reconnection

Rhauder & Paul St. Hilaire - Molekule

Michael Mayer's new album '&' sees him collaborate with some of the planet's leading musicians and of course a whole lot of friends. The 12 track LP features tracks with Roman Flügel, Agoria, Kölsch​, Miss Kittin and Barnt. His collaboration with Barnt is a trippy, majestic number that's drenched in voodoo tones and there's now a remix package to accompany the track.

Patrice Baumel has put his own spin on 'Und Da Stehen Fremde Menschen​' but here we concentrate on UK favourite, Kowton's edit. As expected the Livity Sound don has stripped everything back and turned the suspense into structure, with steely tones and a demonic 4/4 running through its core.

When you listen to Sebastian Mullaert’s music you will feel something enchanting, a resonance that delivers truth, integrity and reminds us to simply be. The Swedish artist has a distinct approach to life, as well as music, which is centred around tranquillity, stillness and the convergence of Zen meditation, nature and creativity. Known for his work as one half of Minilogue, Sebastian is also an accomplished solo artist with new material ready to roll. As an artist that is constantly evolving he has taken a bold new direction in his sonic exploration, immersing himself in the neo-classical scene and joining forces with one of the top 10 philharmonic orchestras in the world - Tonhalle Zürich. Working with great care and innovation he has created a truly immersive audio-visual performance experience, combining a mesmerising integration of electronic and classical instrumentation, with a visual art installation based on breath taking nature landscapes shot from a helicopter perspective. With such an innovative approach he aims to bridge the gap between classical and electronic music and introduce a whole new generation to the neo-classical concept. 

Sebastian's deep connection with music can be traced back to his formative years; from playing the organ and violin as a child, to performing in orchestras, string quartets and pop band, progressing into electronic music in his late teens. Discovering house and techno in the mid-nineties was the catalyst behind a revolution in his life, he set out on a new musical pathway, to promote the simplicity of being. Throughout the late nineties he experimented with electronic sounds, forming cult duo Minilogue with a friend and releasing with Crosstown Rebels, Traum Schallplatten, Wagon Repair and more, plus two albums via Cocoon – ‘Animals’ (2008) and ‘Blomma’ (2013). In 2014, the duo decided to take a break and invest their time in solo projects and Sebastian has since been hard at work cultivating a collection of new music already snapped up by hugely influential labels such as R&S sub-label Apollo, Drumcode, Hypercolour and Minus.

Sebastian Mullaert’s live performances are awe-inspiring, combining technical wizardry with energy, atmosphere and euphoria, you only have to watch his “Interpretations” performance for XLR8R or Boiler Room appearance for examples of his prowess. Recognition of his aptitude has led him to perform at institutions and festivals such as Panorama Bar - Berlin, Labyrinth Festival - Japan, Fabric - London, Concrete - Paris, The Block - Tel Aviv and Blackmarket - NYC. 

Sebastian’s collaborative work runs parallel to his solo endeavours and he has teamed up with several figures in the techno world to produce some unforgettable releases. Collaborators include Mathew Jonson, Eitan Reiter, Aril Brikha and Ulf Eriksson, and releases have come via underground platforms such as Hypnus, Mule Musiq and Kontra Musik. He also produces under the alias Wa Wu We, offering a serene, understated take on the techno aesthetic. Furthermore he is involved in the new Be Yokai project, a trio formed of Sebastian, Douglas Holmquist and Kristoffer Ström. The three men formed a natural alliance, finding their flow after several sessions together. Their first EP is signed to Hypercolour sub-label Space Hardware, with a live show and more music in the pipeline.

Sebastian Mullaert is already established as a potent force in the world of electronic music. Serious about reminding people to BE on the dance floor, or in the comfort of their own home, the music he makes is deep, progressive and utterly unique. Whatever the future holds, you can be sure he will continue to channel the infinite energy that surrounds us into every facet of his life.
