Adler's way

Recognise is DJ Mag's monthly mix series, introducing artists we love that are bursting onto the global electronic music circuit. This month, we catch up with London's purveyor of "nightmare dance music" and mutated club sounds, Air Max '97, to discuss his renewed dancefloor focus, solidarity in the capital's club scene, and drum & bass in a cave by the sea...

CC PREMIERES: Charlie Boy Manson - Distraust (Sid Quirk Re - Work) [Loose Lips]

today's naivetape bb is a young talent from Dublin who is a really exciting DJ with a community focus, helping several people at uni learn to dj and co-organising the dope party Notions that i played around a year ago and felt right at home, likely due to the love care and friendship that is put into the party and can be felt in the atmosphere and enthusiasm of the crowd. chris and i played an all-electro b2b - as voted by twitter - at dublin digital radio before the night, he jumped in generously as i had only one functioning usb and the link wasn't on. it was super fun and can be actually found online if you look :) this naivetape is a really colourful, exciting and fresh ride, brimming with enthusiasm and amazing taste, much like the impression chris left on me. do not miss it i promise, and read the thoughtful words about it written by the deejay while you're at it:

'the purpose of this tape really is to serve as a showcase and reflection of my wildly varying emotions over the past half year or so, which obviously have been heightened in the last while - from the lowest lows i've ever felt, to the highest communal club-related euphorias i've experienced as well as a ton of anxiety about my personal and my scene's futures being ultimately anathematized by the pandemic.

towards the end i bring everything back home with a light at the end of the tunnel. i recorded the mix at the end of april, back at the peak of lockdown in ireland. it appears now that creatives will all be out of work for far far longer than i had thought at the time - perhaps choosing to take this approach was just starry-eyed naive optimism of what's to come (topical!), but i still truly feel the best thing we can do is to just move forward having hope that this light will somehow, someday, finally be our reality, complete with a beautiful vision of the releasing of our charged-up excited hearts - bursting, ready to love and dance with one another. 

that, and also showcasing to all the naive followers what I'm like as a dj! lol. the energy and selection of this mix is frantic yet logical, eclectic yet exists in it's a coherent world, brash and hurtling at times yet soothing and cathartic at others. for anyone that knows me or has been to a notions party, i hope this tape conjures up the same vibes and feelings felt on the best nights of my life behind the decks. i really missed experiencing these feelings and to recapture them when recording this is something that i cherish a whole lot. so thanks for asking me to contribute.
i think both my personal and more technical dj-related explanations of this tape are and should always be intertwined... i hope everyone listening in feels that too :)'

crescendoll is a Gamilaraay woman and Eora based DJ. Selected for FBi Dance Class’s 2020 program, she flirts with juke, jersey, footwork, hard drum, UK bass, garage and acid and is an appreciator of all things club. In non pandemic times she is a regular on Eora’s dancefloors by night, and works as a solicitor by day. Catch her Athletica newsletter and Spotify playlist also out this week.

On the mix: This is a much more restrained and synth-driven mix than the usually maximalist and drum focused approach I’ve taken previously. Keep an ear out for the SOPHIE pianocore remix, it’s a real heavy hitter.

CRESCENDOLL - ISOLECTIONS 010

To kick Allergy Season back into gear we've called upon the Mr Dependable of Appalachian Techno, Alex Falk.

Those of you who heard OOF will know the pedigree that Alex brings, but Movefast ups the ante, breaking and reassembling his bass-heavy techno sound in new ways. The opening cut “Movefast” is, a little paradoxically, the only track on the EP which doesn’t start with an immediate ten-ton kick. Once the song gets going it is unstoppable, propelled forward on a breakbeat jetstream to the other side of a distant horizon. "EBE" keeps up the pace, a straight-up head-down thumper without a moment’s relent.

“HG12” breaks the spell, only to introduce a cut-up, printer-jamming rhythm that could step toe-to-toe with any rough ’n ready banger you care to name. Clipped loops recur in “Know”, this time applied to a vaguely ecstatic vocal with a wisp of UKG, and a resonant low-end that carries a trace of Miami’s 808s and sub-shake. Movefast rounds out on a number that brings the action closer to Falk’s Knoxville home. The combination of mechanical repetition and delicately-layered piano and vox on “U Won’t” combine to something beautifully hypnotic: like breaking through the clouds while ringing an endless stretch of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Movefast is as thick as late summer air, as rough-edged as present reality, fearsome yet kinda nice with it – a moment of release as we slide into the third Season of 2020.
