Description by Kick Kick Snare :
"Summer in Los Angeles brings us “Geography”, an oceanic summer reprieve courtesy of SNKNGL. If one had to take the track name for inspiration and pinpoint the exact geographic location, it would be planted just out of the reach of the waves on Zuma. The coast gently caressing your toes as the chords and arpeggiated stabs wash over you while you’re sucked into the sleepy and sun-soaked hypnotic rhythm of the track. The vocoder vocals reassure you that the shades don’t need to come off as there’s nothing worth seeing beyond their dark tinted protection.
The guitar riff played by guitarist Joe Hundertmark (who was recently tapped by Quentin Tarantino for work on "The Hateful Eight") wails softly in the background with a harmony sweetened by a lap steel ... this is one of those rare gems that is playable at sunrise or sunset; it’s beauty cascading over the world around it."

Geography (Original Mix)

Very few musical acts achieve the levels of unanimous acclaim of Autechre. The English duo of Rob Brown and Sean Booth are not an act you simply like; they are an act you love, fawn over and dream about. They’ve got themselves here over the course of the last 28 years, and have done so by amassing a discography that’s about as perfect, influential and accomplished as could ever be possible. A key Warp label act from day one, they have released tens of albums, well over a ten EPs and have featured on a dizzying amount of essential compilations, mixes and remixes in that time. Without their contribution to the IDM canon, its fair to say the modern musical landscape would look very different. 

Rhythmic but experimental, absorbing yet abstract, cerebral and psychedelic, their ever evolving output is up there with the likes of fellow luminaries Boards of Canada and Aphex Twin as some of the most important in all of electronic music. As well as being fine craftsmen in the studio, Autechre are also revered live performers who really manage to conjure up captivating and otherworldly soundtracks that marry heavy bass with ethereal melody. The pair themselves do not care for genre, but suffice it to say that they have mastered everything from hardcore to ambient to glitch and plenty of indescribables in between. 

When the pair recently laid down an impressive set at Dekmantel Festival, we asked if they might be up for a doing an early inspiration mix, whereby they put together a collection of the sort of electro and hip hop tracks that turned them on as youths. At first they hesitated, pointing out that "we don't do strictly retro stuff, it's too corny.” But alas, a few days later, a huge file landed in our inbox… That file is a 4 hour and 18 minute mix that basically encapsulates not just Autechre’s own influences, but also acts as a fine anthology of the greatest electro sounds of all time. Every sub genre imaginable gets touched upon along the way, with nods to forefathers like Kraftwerk, killer cuts from Man Parrish, classics from Newcleus and retro gold from the likes of The Beat Club. It is a thrilling ride and a truly rare treat that reminds us just why we love Autechre, as well as shining a light on a vast genre that often pays second fiddle to house and techno.

First new music from me in a while! but the first of quite a lot of new stuff dropping in the next couple of months. 

This remix of my cousin, Gwilym Gold has been around for a minute now, but we decided it was time to give it a proper release. It is originally a cut from his amazing record, Tender Metal, that plays from his own app, Bronze, whereby the algorithms change the structure, sound and musicality of the songs, whilst quite amazingly holding their pop core.. its quite a feat and a fucking great record. if you haven't checked it, I can't recommend it enough. (link below) 

anyway, I hope you feel this one, and snap up the vinyl, because that is the only medium of release for the minute. (350 copies only)

Gwilym also has a new album, A Paradise, that came out last week. and that is also fucking great!

Gwilym Gold x Doc Daneeka - Lust For Sale MGF Mix

As part of the promotion for our final edition, we tapped our very own founder and festival director John Templeton to piece together a special mix highlighting this year's line-up.

An uncompromising selector and accomplished technician behind the decks, Templeton has poured his energy into building up the Denver techno scene since relocating to Colorado nearly 12 years ago. Via endeavors such as the Would Shop, Emote Music and, of course, the Great American Techno Festival, he has left an indelible mark on this city's musical landscape.

For this mix, he sought to balance the constituent parts of the RIPGATF program. It was no small task, but we think this 52-minute journey serves as an ideal primer for the chaos that lies in store next week.

Earlier in the year the Joy Wellboy released their second album and 'Wedding' is another fine example of the wonderfully poppy, instrument-led music that they conjure up.

One of the tracks from the album is called 'The Magic' and it's received a top notch remix package with edits from Phono, Fred P and Maceo Plex  & Shall Ocin. We've got a premiere of the latter's remix and it's arguably the best of the bunch.

Premiere: Joy Wellboy 'The Magic' (Maceo Plex & Shall Ocin Dub)

This mix is dedicated to my grandmother Hannah.  A young Liberian girl who was taken to America during world war two without her family.   She was renamed Brenda Maxwell upon arrival in Los Angeles.  She had 4 children and 5 grandchildren who called her Granny.
