For the 93rd edition of our mixseries, we invited WEES. He is an electronic music DJ/Producer based in Amsterdam.

While telling his story, WEES is mainly focused on discovering ultimate freedom. By creating these moments of ecstasy and giving it the heat that will make you lose yourself in this musical journey. Inspired by psychedelic sound components, his strongest feelings and closest relatives. The gamut that he displays, is the result of his own experience in life and varies within all kinds of electronic music styles.

Enjoy this class mix!

SPOKEN093 - WEES

Approach 1:

If I had to choose a country whose techno I could only listen to, I would probably choose Spain. Even though the decision would be difficult, as it would mean giving up artists like Shed! There is little techno that is as energetic, dynamic, fierce, and passionate, yet so trippy, inviting, and full of groove as Spanish techno. This is the feeling I want to create and convey with the podcast. It makes sense to broaden the focus a bit and mix in material from the UK – you can just hear the industrial revolution, the fiery spirit it reflects. The overarching theme is therefore Spanish techno music, supplemented with music from different parts of the world that, for me, brings a similar vibe.


Approach 2:

For me, the former Berghain system embodies techno music. I wanted to use music that seemed made for this place. The old F1 sound system combined with the unmistakable reverb downstairs has accompanied and shaped me for the past 16 years. If I were to receive an evening slot today, I would play in this direction. This set is, of course, a condensed version, but I think the essence comes across.

Approach 3:
Hardness doesn't come from BPM! For me, there is little straight 4x4 techno above 140 BPM that has enough room to breathe and enough space to really create groove with low-end and syncopation. This is why I rarely play faster than 138 BPM. I find that between 134 and 138, you can draw out an incredible amount of dynamics and tension. The BPM range in this podcast is between 134 and 136, and I feel that the arc of tension works perfectly.


Approach 4:

You often see short clips on social media where people are mixing with 6-8 turntables. That's why I deliberately decided against a third or fourth CDJ/turntable. I wanted to show that if the music is well-produced and has sufficient dynamic range you can create an incredible amount of tension and flow with just two decks.

In this spirit: Less is more... Isn’t that what techno is all about?

Enjoy, and be kind to each other and yourselves!

"... and is revealed in Its naked truth to those alone who pass right through the opposition of fair and foul, and pass beyond the topmost altitudes of the holy ascent and leave behind them all divine enlightenment and voices and heavenly utterances and plunge into the Darkness where truly dwells, as saith the Scripture, that One Which is beyond all things."
