KEXP Mechanical Breakdown Guest Mixes

New mix is coming courtesy of none other than Danny Wolfers aka https://soundcloud.com/legowelt-official aka The man of thousands pseudos, the wizard from the Hague, the synth ultimate warlord!

Psyched to have him on board for this special LYO numero 200 as we're fans and vinyl collectors of his stuffs for so long we can't tell.

Or yes we can, we've seen Danny playing LIVE for first time in Paris in now defunct Batofar on a Bunker Records labelnight in early 2000's.
Lucky enough to have witnessed one of his very few LIVE shows as Squadra Blanco-one of his best projects- in Tryptique Club (now called Le Sacré). 
All this during a very special time lying in our memories, when we were young enthusiastic members of the geekiest/best electronic music forum called "The Cybernetic Broadcasting System" (CBS), the ancestor of Intergalactic FM.

We also have been honored to play after him - to close the night at Rex Club some years ago (2018?)

To finally end this long laius,  we're stoked to announce him on next LYO record (on remix duty) alongside other legends DMX Krew and Cisco Ferreira's "The Advent" and rising local talent Captain Mustache. More about that soonish, don't sleep!

Enjoy the mix fellas and take care

A sunset set at Waking Life, Portugal, in June 2023. I DJed after Vlada and before Anthony Naples, in front of a beautiful lake with the sun setting behind me and an incredibly wholesome, engaged, positive, locked-in crowd in front of me.

After listening to many Freerotation recordings over the years, it feels a bit surreal to share this one. I had such a great time meeting the freero community. Very special to feel the positive vibe and patience to build something new.

Italorator w/ Marsman [Episode 21]

It was my first Draaimolen and no one knew it which was great. 
It was also my first encounter with Addit Audio and their sound system installed for the first time in its full glory. I can't recall being brought to tears during one soundcheck.
So there were no news, no algorithms, no expectations to be disappointed. The pit was not announced. It felt like a curious manifestation of something paranormal.
Wonderful sound system, records and sweetest weather.  
Those who found us in the small pit in the middle of the forest most likely didn't know what was going on. 
For the most part of the first 5 hours I figured out that it would be great to play for and with the sound guy, playing right and wrong records and figuring out which one sound good. Research and development mission for Addit Audio.
After 5 hours ISAbella joined for a brief back to back session. Everything can happen in the realm of paranormal. Luckily she stayed and we played together for the next 3 hours until the last song, the one for the deceased. Probably as close as it gets to transcendence. 

Thank you all. You know who you are.

Born out of their love for dancing together, their sound as a duo balances playful nostalgia and raunchy darkness to command a sweaty dancefloor.

Between their residency at Gabriela, frequent sets at Brooklyn institutions such as Paragon, House of Yes, Bossa Nova Civic club, and at least one gig basically everywhere else, Sissies are forging a path for TS world (nyc) domination.

Italian dj raised in the outskirts of Geneva, Pastram steps out under the banner of Cruel Machine Booking. Distinctly drawn towards dark atmospheres, Pastram developed a strong focus on raw rhythmics, assuming an intense form of communication where cathartic echoes and cold synths become intricate. An intense musical fusion of the past and the present transcending the line between body music, grinding post punk, industrial, and wave.

Pastram Guest Mix for Mechanical Breakdown on KEXP

Next transmission from the outer zones: Xiaolin (Hong Kong) on the next Terra Magica Rec. label showcase, opening her vinyl bag and drops an hour of vinyl-only mix. Progressive trance gets twisted, acid house turns gritty and breakbeats trip over themselves in all the right ways. All vinyl. All magica. No straight lines.
