Crown Ruler Mix #25 - Ben Fester B2B Cousin.

We’ve got another mix for you snatched from the wild - this time from iconic brothers @ben-fester and @secondcousins. Recorded at our open-air party co-presented with @planettrip earlier this year, the siblings warmed up for maestro @floatingpoints in the breeze of twilight, where they proved themselves as well-seasoned DJ’s no longer necessitating introduction. 

Sink into this mix of trippy downtempo, percussive electro and cherished vocal house from two masters of their craft.

This mix was recorded on the stolen lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. We acknowledge their Elders past and present, and recognise efforts in the ongoing resistance against colonialism. Always Was, Always Will Be.

Crown Ruler Mix #25 - Ben Fester B2B Cousin

‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

Wellll shiiiiiiiiit, look here, motherfucking Mosam Howieson is in the building. About time, you say? Yes, you’d be right to ask, but you’re asking the wrong question, more like, what is time? Don’t stress, it’s merely a measuring device that the entire human civilisation revolves around. Anyway, Mos is here to teach you a thing or two about time and what you can do with it. 

I’ve been lucky enough to know Mos for many years. A true gentleman in the game, forever polite and tremendously respectful. A man of many talents, and most revolve around providing for the people. A culinary cowboy by day and dance floor destroyer by night, his exceptional work ethic shining through in both forms. Mos’ production has slowly but surely infiltrated ears across the globe, labels worldwide have been picking up what Mos has been putting down, and we’re better off for it. Mos' live performances are a full-body experience, from ground-breaking ambient soundscapes to rafter-breaking post-primitive drum loops, something to add to that bucket list of yours, whilst waiting patiently for his new album coming out later this year.  For those of you that don’t know Mos, this is the perfect place to start. 

Following with the theme of time, I think Mos has completely encapsulated his existence on this earth through this mix. You can hear him in his different stages of life and all the soundtracks that came with it. From hovering over a tape deck recording tracks straight from the radio, getting up early watching video hits, burning CDs on friend's computers, weeklong mp3 downloads from lime wire riddled with viruses on the family computer, all the way up to the first-time he downloaded fruity loops and set himself on this path, it’s all here and we’ve been invited along for the ride. All of this music holds such a special place in my heart as I was on a parallel path of musical enlightenment (except my productions never made it past a 4x4 loop on a cracked version of fruity loops) a musical diary if you will, filled with ideas, aspirations, and heartache, complete with dogged ears, doodles and torn out pages. On behalf of the people listening, thank you Mos. 

Keep it as real as you can. X

Skylab HQ E12

For Trushmix 206 LNS and DJ Sotofett are back!  This time in full effect as a joint force. A mix they originally did for Bleep, called "The Reformer Mix Vol. 1". This is one hour of extravagant mixing, vinyl and edited into a exciting and genre spanning trip, full of energy and strong twists. As the artists states themselves:

For "The Reformer Mix Vol. 1" we wanted to change it up a bit from our other mixes that are either straight forward, or live recorded in the club. We used two Technics 1200's and recorded a longer mix session, then edited everything down, mixed in live overdubs with turntables, added vocoder melodies, and also a proper amount of shout outs. The idea was to present a highly condensed mix that still has the raw live feeling we love from playing records in the club. With more than 30 tracks in about 55 min we're using some of our favourite cuts, moving through our biggest influences from House, Techno, and Electro, mixing all with a solid base in Hip-Hop. 
- LNS & DJ SOTOFETT, March 2023

Enjoy this mix!
Music from the top!

We welcome Tornado Wallace (@tornadowallace), long time friend of the label and whose record 'Falling Sun' we released through Second Circle back in 2016.  Interview (excerpt) down below.

MFM: Hey Lewie, how have you been lately?

TW: I dipped out to East Asia and Australia for the infamous Berlin winter and now I’m back ready for the euro warmth. Though it’s in no hurry to arrive here just yet.

MFM: There's a new record coming on Basic Spirit, the label you run with Jamie Tiller, and it all looks rather secretive... Can you tell us more about it Lew E? :) 

TW: I made these tracks when I was holed up sick for a week. Not being able to go to the studio I relied strictly on samples and software, which was fun to change the workflow up a little bit. I wanted to make some very club ready tracks, without any intention for a release. They (rather obviously) sample two well known tracks, but there’s a lot of new ideas too. I use a different name as it felt like a different style and approach to how I usually go about things. I think there will be more Lew E things on the horizon though :D.

MFM: Previous releases on Basic Spirit also had this '90s touch to it. What is it that you like about (music from) that era?

TW: I grew up in the 90s so a lot of the music coming out then really hits the nostalgic feels. But also, really interesting things were happening with technology, and it became a lot more affordable to put together a record. So there were a lot of - for lack of a better term - laymen releasing electronic music. Some of which had very new and out-there approaches to processes like sampling, mixing and arranging. But trends and technology all moved along so quickly that some of these sounds and ideas never had a chance to get fully fleshed out. Which is why it’s nice to pick up where some left off. People are currently very responsive to this late 90s/early 2000s sound, which is great for me because that’s a time when I really fell in love with electronic music. As a DJ, I’m playing these really personal tracks that I discovered as a teenager, and for the first time since I began playing parties/clubs 18 years ago, people seem to really understand them. It’s a very cool feeling.

MFM: You've also started a new more pop oriented project called a.s.o. together with vocalist Alia Seror O’Neill. Has it always been a dream or goal of yours to start a more band kind of project? Does it require a different writing/recording approach compared to when making dance music for the clubs?

TW: I like making music that I like listening to. And with the pandemic in full swing in 2020, I was having a little break from club music, and diving deeper into other styles of music I enjoy. Both from a listening and producing perspective. I found it to be a very different approach. It’s more melody/hook driven and focuses on getting ideas down quickly as they’re forming. A lot of the time I would use a basic keyboard and guitar to record, and Alia would add vocal melodies and harmonies on the fly. Sometimes it could get difficult when we would both want to put our fleeting ideas down at the same time! On that note, collaboration is never easy for me as I like to have full creative control of whatever it is I’m working on, and sometimes the creative paths divide and compromises have to be made. Sometimes the compromised path is thick and thorny, and sometimes it is paved gold and smells of roses.

MFM: How did you go through the selecting and recording process, any specific record or mood you had planned?

TW: I came across a bunch of really nice tracks all in a relatively similar downtempo/shoegaze style, and wanted to make a mix of music like that. For moody home/car/train etc listening. I also included a forthcoming Cousin remix of an a.s.o. single which I love and wanted to share early!
