Vault Sessions #008 - Ayarcana

Over the past 12 months, Vishscale has gone from best-kept London secret to hero of the techno underworld. 

We caught up with him to find out more about his influences and to bag this ferocious mix full of anger and etherial power...

Jaded: Hi Vish, can you describe the Scale Trax ethos and your personal sound for our listeners?

Hey Jaded. The way I would describe the Scale Trax ethos would be putting people on and shining light on them through quality music. Of course techno is what the label is about, but I believe the label is about pushing boundaries in the genre - it’s not about following BPM trends or what’s fashionable within the scene atm, but more about quality music that will stand the test of time in years to come; long after I’m gone. 

As for my personal sound, I know from looking from the outside in you can call it harsh or aggressive but it’s based mainly on things I’ve done, seen and felt in my life. If I could rap I would have a proper story to tell! But if I define the Vishscale sound into a few words I’d define it as dark & light with hard times and pain thrown in. 

Jaded: You take much inspiration from film, and from your own experiences boxing, can you tell us more about these influences and how they relate to your art?

Yes I take loads. As for films, I was and still am a 80s and 90s science fiction, Kung Fu, horror and gangster film fanatic. So movies like Terminator 1 and 2, Scarface, Menace to Society, Donnie Brasco, Enter the Dragon, Halloween I love. 

So yeah, I use to box and compete. I had 13 fights altogether, I still do box but just don’t compete no more. Musically, boxing has played a massive influence. When you go to perform (DJ) in front of a crowd you feel nervous - similar nerves I used to get before a fight. So boxing has taught me how to deal with those situations. The nerves will never go, but you learn how to perform under pressure be it with a crowd watching, bright lights etc. 

Anyone involved in techno or just the music scene will also know how hard and difficult it can be. So boxing has taught me how to stay focussed on myself and my goals and to bite down work hard and the results you want will come your way. 

Jaded: Paula Temple has been championing your releases heavily! How has her support affected your work?

Yeah that was pretty amazing Paula playing my music like I still can’t get my head around it to be fair.

I’ll tell u something - u may laugh: the day I saw her post a video on insta of her playing Dark Or Light I listened to the video about 5 times and still didn’t realise it was my track. I thought it sounds similar to my track, but didn’t realise until I went on my Soundcloud played the track and compared it to the video she posted. 

Her support of playing my tracks the video  she posted and being on her list of most played artists of 2019 has affected my work by giving me the validation to myself that I am someone within Techno doing something good as an artist. And the desire to work harder. It’s all about self-belief and people can have a lot of self-doubt, so it’s always nice when people can lift each other up rather than put people down.

We are delighted to celebrate our 4th anniversary with the German producer Headless Horseman (47 / Counter Pulse).

From the shadows to the stage, Headless Horseman' musical efforts are meticulously executed without compromise. 
The eponymous Headless releases sum up the modus operandi of this artist: dark, raw and rhythmic IDM flavoured Techno.
It is no exaggeration to say that Horseman is one of the most talked artists at this given time.
Don't be fooled by his dark and haunting appearance, more often than not his tunes warm the heart and soul.
We could not be more honored to host one of our favorite artists on the series.
Enjoy the ride!

Connector 28.02.2020

Swedish born SPFDJ is a renegade spirit and ruthless DJ. She describes her own style as "trashy" and has said before that she disregards anything that might sound happy. To that end, she brashly bangs together techno, EBM, acid, industrial and trance in provocative and confrontational ways. She does so at her residency at Berlin's Herrensauna and also runs her own Intrepid Skin label, both of which are defined by big, banging kick drums.  

And so is this mix. 75 minutes of blistering textures, serrated synths and hammering drums that make for an impenetrable wall of ever evolving sound. As unrelentingly forceful as it is, monotony stays at bay thanks to the quick mixing and variation in mood, from marching and militant to acid and electric. Strap in, hold tight, and prepare for the ride of your life.

Recording of my live performance at Tresor Berlin on Friday January 10th, 2020

Uun - Live @ Tresor

We are excited to welcome one of our most wanted artists to the Disruptors series. She's definitely at the top of our list for the dream re-opening line up. Here she drops an unrelenting hour of pure energy that could only be hers - welcome The Dag...

JADED: Hey Dana, thank you for the mix, could you describe your sound for all the Disruptor heads out there?

THE DAG:  Thank you for the invitation! My sound has evolved over the years I think. I started making dark industrial music and the stuff on my SoundCloud certainly suggests the same as well, but now it's quite different. My mixes and tracks, some of which have made it into this podcast (hehe), still have the dark industrial vibe, but it also has a punch of hardcore and trance.

I guess the best word to describe it would be "intense." Almost cathartic even.

JADED: You caught our attention through your early productions and newsletter, how did your journey into this music begin, and what have been some of the highlights so far?

THE DAG: I was always interested in DJing and music, but I never got around to it until maybe two or three years ago. At the time I was, and maybe this is something relatable for the listeners and readers out there, trying to get over a break up, and music was the best way for me to release these feelings.

It's still surreal to take a step back and look at what's happened since. One of the highlights was definitely "Venting" a track which Aahan and I collaborated on. I sometimes can't believe it ended on Monnom Black! For the record: I don't think that was something either of us planned for, haha! It sort of just happened.

More recently, I was pleasantly surprised to receive the support of Paula Temple, an artist I deeply admire, for my track "Scorpion Sting" (which you might be able to spot in the set). It was really an honor to hear that she liked the track, and I was so happy when I received her message.

JADED: Obviously a lot of things are on hold for everyone at the moment, will you be taking the time to focus on your own productions and are there any releases we should be looking out for?

THE DAG: I've definitely been working on a lot of productions. I recently finished a remix for Achiever, which will be released on his platform called "Ouroboros." That should be coming out in the coming months.

I also just finished my next EP, which will be released on my own label. Speaking of which, that's also in the works! I'm hoping to have the first release by the summer. I also have the second EP for the label in the works so we'll see how things go!
