Eomac / Lakker

As part of Lakker alongside production partner Dara Smith, Ian McDonnell has been exploring various forms of music for the best part of a decade, with the Dublin-based pair becoming an increasingly prominent name in techno circles over the past few years. It was perhaps their 2011 Killekill debut Spider Silk where Lakker's heavily atmospheric, dark and broken brand of techno really began to crystallise, and the pair have subsequently gone on to grace the likes of Stroboscopic Artefacts, Blueprint, Candela Rising and most recently R&S Records.

Away from Lakker, McDonnell has also been devoting time to building up a solid discography under the solo guise, with several high-profile releases over the past year for The Trilogy Tapes, Code Is Law, and the Candela Rising and Killekill labels he clearly has a strong working relationship with. Indeed, the latter Berlin-based label seem very pleased to be releasing Spectre, McDonnell's debut album proper as Eomac next month. To toast its impending arrival, McDonnell agreed to mix up a selection of tracks for our podcast series which begins and ends with Lakker cuts and crams in material from his forthcoming Eomac album alongside material from Streetwalker, Evian Christ, Actress, JT '$tinkworkz' Stewart, Voices From The Lake and more.

Fresh from a launch party for Lakker's R&S debut Containing A Thousand, McDonnell was kind enough to answer some questions about the forthcoming Eomac album, his various current and forthcoming projects and dealing with celebrity fans. You can read that here: http://bit.ly/QeRPj1

After his album release on Berlin’s Killekill very recently and subsequent EP for Stroboscopic Artefacts, Ian McDonnell is a very busy man. Having being requested to play at Boiler Room in July with Function, Henning Baer, Cassegrain and Born In Flamez, Eomac is also one half of duo Lakker. He continues to consistently impress with an obscure and abstract take on techno that landed a huge track named “Spoock” in 2013. The Exclusive mix journeys through weird electronic soundscapes to industrial techno and beyond, tracks by Positive Centre, Mondkopf, Talker, Dronelock, AnD, James Ruskin, Stanislav Tolkachev, Caustic Window and more…

DTMIX088 - Eomac [Dublin, IRELAND]

Mia Koden (@miakoden) first emerged as half of Sicaria Sound but since breaking out alone has established her own musical identity. It draws on her South Sudanese heritage and music from across the African continent and beyond, not least her current surroundings in South London and the city's rich sound system culture. Often operating around the 140BPM mark, she dropped two head-turning tracks ‘Hot Take' and 'I Did’ early last year then debuted on Ilian Tape with a dark and irresistible EP that traverses multiple bass-heavy genres.

Mia does the same with her mix for us this week with, in her words, "bass, percussive, 2step, 140BPM, dubstep, dub, dub techno and breaks" all coming thick and fast at up to 150 beats per minute. It's a breathless 90-minute selection of global body music packed with lively percussion, big on low ends and not afraid to get rhythmically inventive while also dropping in the odd playful vocal from the worlds of grime and r&b. Both technically sound and tastefully assembled, it's a thrilling statement from the vital Koden.

London-based Oblig's (@djoblig) sound is closely intertwined with the rich DNA of UK club culture. Bass, garage, grime and techno all influence his robust rhythms, whether he's going dark at 140 bpm or hypnotising with sleek techno. His label Obligated Records and regular shows on Rinse FM are extensions of that, as are his razor-sharp DJ sets across the world.

Hot on the heels of Volume 2 of his label's latest compilation, he's put together an hour mix that smudges the lines between his go-to genres. The selections are punchy and uptempo while twisting through mysterious late-night grime, kinetic club cuts and pneumatic bass workouts, all with a constant low-end pressure that keeps lips curled and heads nodding.

Ian McDonnell and Dara Smith are Lakker. They're based in Dublin and have been producing together for the past decade. After releasing their debut album 'Ruido' in 2007 it wasn't until 2011 when they released their follow up record 'Spider Silk' on the Berlin based label Killekill. 'Spider Silk' helped open them up to Berlin's thriving techno scene as well as James Ruskins highly revered Blueprint imprint and Love Love Records.

Following their remix of Dadub's track 'Path'on Stroboscopic Artefacts', Lakker now return to the label with 'Monad XIV' for their first full release on Stroboscopic Artfacts. We caught up with Ian and Dara ahead of the release of 'Monad XIV' and discuss their new record as well as becoming part of the Stroboscopic Artefacts' crew. We also look back at their musical heritage, influences and their most poignant moments to date.
