2014 mixes

"One of the most difficult aspects of the last 13 months has been the complete lack of sound systems, which define the spaces where I both forged and maintain my relationship with techno. Proper dancefloors cocoon you in sound, granting freedom of body, mind, and soul, allowing for a completely individual experience with music, even moments of transcendence, while surrounded by some abstract, shifting mixture of friends and strangers. Pandemic delivered the exact opposite of this freedom, with lockdowns and isolation, fear and anxiety. 

7 months in, my memories of being enveloped by sound, anonymous in a crowd, felt so distant; my connection to this music I love so dearly was deeply eroded. Where it was once fun to DJ at home as a means to invoke the dancefloor, I could no longer summon those feelings; trying to play music for myself, alone, on small speakers, left me feeling disconnected and confused. Faced with creating a set for Samhain, a task I would normally welcome with joy, honor, and a sense of purpose, instead filled me with dread, apprehension, and a feeling of being hopelessly lost. 

Putting this set together was the most difficult creative exercise I have ever engaged in, I never struggled so much in my life to DJ. I forced myself to listen through music, assemble a collection of tunes, and finally to record a set, doing my best to summon missing feelings and connect to the lost spaces that hold so much meaning. This experience was so troubling that it would be the last mix I made in isolation.

6 months later, vaccinations are beginning to become a reality, and while my beloved dancefloors are still a ways off, things feel much less hopeless than they did in the autumn. Listening back to this mix fills me with a deep yearning for what we are all missing, and also hope for our future. I look forward so incredibly much to the day we can dance together again!!! and I can't wait to see you all.

Mysteries Of The Deep, Chapter XXII. Subception by Ricardo Donoso.

"He probably held too tightly
 (In the palm of his hand,
 Looking out on the sea)

 To the sand the wind
 Was taking, grain by grain --

 He who holds a fear
 Of becoming mist."

Dark0 is the North West London based producer who, alongside the like of Mr Mitch, Slackk and Novelist to name but a few, is at the forefront of the next wave of instrumental Grime music. His latest Fate EP, out now via Gobstopper Records, sees him pay homage to some of his favourite video game soundtracks with colourful synth tones, dancefloor driven bass and incredible drum intricacies. Filling us in on this exclusive mix, hit play on the space-like sounds of Dark0.

"This mix is basically a collection of nostalgia influenced pieces, weightless productions and scores that have stuck with me. I've always thought a lot of the music used in games is very underrated in terms of their depth and ideas and doing this mix gave me the opportunity to include some of my favourites. One in particular is a game called "Tyrian" - a space-shooter filled with mad colours and beams and has this weird tragic storyline. I based the premise of the mix behind this - its about being lost in space but still feeling content and somewhat close to home. Hope you enjoy it." Dark0

Otherworldly Thoughts (Original Mix)

N.CeeD - Hypnoïse ( original version )

I am very happy to announce a new episode of Outis Podcast Series. This time with the participation of a great friend – my Techno Sister YUKA 😉
With her I shared consoles and releases and I can say without any doubt that, considering her technique and her musical taste able to fit in any context, she is one of the best artists that I have ever met.

Dino Sabatini


YUKA

Yuka is a female DJ now based in Moscow (where she has lived since 1998), but who began her career in distant Bratsk, Siberia. The town – a local industrial center – is probably more famous for what it dumps than what it makes; in the recent past it was listed as one of the thirty most polluted cities in the world. It wouldn’t take much persuasion for someone to move on… Yuka’s preparation for a shift to the capital’s nightclubs was lengthy, however, since music had played an important role in her life since the age of 6.
Over time, her passions moved in the direction of painting, sculpture, and design – activities she continues to this day. That initial school-day enthusiasm at the piano would eventually win out, though, and dictate her choice of higher education. Her musical training thus led to a degree from the Irkutsk Arts Institute, where she no doubt studied under her real name, Irina Solbutova.
Now that she’s fully ensconced in Moscow, her music appears regularly through the outlets of three labels: Fullpanda, m_division, Pro-Tez. That latter orgniation has also created a series of podcasts in her name for free downloading. The opening broadcast came with a small text that moves swiftly from imaginative fancy to absolute fantasy. In English it reads as follows: “All musicians can be compared to bird-catchers, especially those hunters who’d go looking for songbirds. Some of them would search for a particular type: a nightingale or a lark, perhaps. Others, conversely, would hunt nothing but exotic birds. Once they were caught, the birds would be kept in cages made from sheet music or boxes cut from concert programmes.”
This tendency towards the ornate and magical is a marked facet of her work. When it come to drinks, however, she’s a little more straightforward.
