Farley "JackMaster" Funk 102.7 WMBX Oak Park Chicago 8/6/1985

Available on Audio Cassette and digital download directly from the label’s Bandcamp: https://cclurl.bandcamp.com/album/a-night-in-the-skull-discotheque

Side A: Bass is Eternal
Side B: 2-step Mutual Dream

A Night in the Skull Discotheque by the beloved underground selector CCL is the latest offering in the T4T LUV NRG label’s highly limited DJ mix series of cassettes. This immersive journey through a wonderland of proto-dubstep sounds from the late 1970s through the year 2000 is a sonic sibling to CCL’s acclaimed 2018 mix Ode to Queer Steppas.

Inspired in part by Eris Drew’s use of “old records to create new styles out of fragments” on her Raving Disco Breaks Vol. 1 mixtape (T4T LUV NRG, 2019), CCL approached this recording with a parallel frame of mind. Created with 3 CDJs, one Turntable, and a Boss Digital Delay 200, the tracks included in the mix are deconstructed from their whole, and constituent parts are intertwined, sampled, and dubbed out while being further stretched beyond their physical limits. CCL mixed many tracks at the 'wrong speed', pitched beyond their original recognizable tone; others are recontextualized through imaginative layering.

With a solid nod to seminal mixtapes of the early 90s, CCL references the namesake for Side A, Bass Is Eternal, an unreleased 1992 mixtape by influential Bristolian producers Smith & Mighty, an important sonic fulcrum amongst the musical tributaries of the hardcore continuum that continues to reverberate to this day. CCL experienced the after-effects of this ‘proto’ sound genesis in 2008, while living in Bristol, by which point its emergent whispers had coalesced into what became known as dubstep. Tracing a rich history of reference through the samples, basslines, moods, and drum patterns emanating from Bass Is Eternal while looking for connections that predate it became a long-term fascination for CCL. The result is a DJ mix that connects the oft-forgotten dots between proto eras and modern developments in bass and dubstep.

For the resulting sonic ride on A Night in the Skull Discotheque, CCL leads us to a fantastical place of timeless surreality – a majestic haunted dancehall soundtracked by a giddy rush of steppers and dubbed-out delights. Subs rattle through syncopated percs, and moody synths glisten in macabre glory. Fantastical dancers wriggle in wispy eternity, liberated from their corporeal forms in all their greatest spiritual wonder. Both extravagant and dusky, A Night in the Skull Discotheque is a world of seductive in-betweens, a place caught between the moodiest depths and the highest exuberance – A love letter to one of the most impactful formative sounds of the last decades.

CCL - A Night in the Skull Discotheque

Saturday, April 13th RA Mix of the Day <3

Definitely one of my favorite sets as of recent, I had the opportunity to bring the sun down at Nowadays Nonstop, to a crowd so enmeshed in a thinning sunny haze of a Sunday afternoon. It felt like the first day of spring, and it was so sweaty and so sexy.

"I'd go so far as saying this was my favourite Machine takeover at Field Maneuvers to date and there's been some corkers," Ben Sims said about Friday night in the Sputnik tent at last year's festival. "Finally getting to go back-to-back with DJ Bone for the FM family was really special."

In the 119th episode of Techno Cartel Podcast we are pleased to host MTD / Rhythm Assembler

Nicola Belligoli was born in Mantua, North Italy.  After several years of interest in electronic music, particularly in techno, and after experiencing the production world, he decides to open his own label together with its historic partner Tracy. 

In the winter between 2010 and 2011 Sonntag Morgen comes to life, initially only with digital releases and then also on wax. With the launch of the label MTD finds room to exhibit the best of his idea of Techno. Hypnotic and rough sounds influenced by dub and experimental moods, but he never stops to research and experiment new sounds or new techniques.

For this reason in 2018 he started his own new solo project “Methodical”, a label platform both vinyl and digital. And more recently he decided to create his new alias Rhythm Assembler, more focused on grooves and minimalistic sound. Today in his discography (both MTD and Rhythm Assembler alias) we can find a large variety of works on several international labels supported by numerous artists of the whole Techno music scene.

Ste Roberts with Alien Communications & Detroit In Effect - 19 April 2024

Mother Arca returned to Caracas. We celebrated her homecoming with a program of trailblazing Venezuelan talent. ⁠

Arca | Boiler Room: Caracas

Crack Mix 572: estoc

Reka Zalan from Berlin is proving that lucky number #007 ain't just a myth. She's an all-around force in the techno scene, straight-up everywhere. 

Her set starts off with some spacey vibes, ambient tunes, and drones. Right from the jump, you can feel the energy building, her musicality on point. The switch to those hypnotic beats? Seamless, man, it hooks you in.

Reka's tracks? Mostly deep and minimalist, but they keep pushing you deeper into the groove. She throws in some Psy and electro-infused tracks to switch it up. Towards the end, she cranks up the intensity before gracefully bringing it all back down with pure elegance.
