Radio Pager Episode 38 - Apple B

Tom Joyce’s sought after Sounds Benefit label marks their milestone tenth release with “7 Years Of Sounds Benefit”, a carefully curated selection of essential artists and rising talents presented as a double vinyl LP. The two slabs of wax manoeuvre between innovative electro and refined flavours of house and techno for trained ears.

First up is a reissue from S-Max, “New Delhi Projects”, previously released on Below back in ‘99. A chugging display of sounds that were way ahead of their time. After featuring on SND002, Ben Cohen makes his comeback on the label with “Short Night”, a breakbeat journey which boasts beautiful and emotive chord progressions. The B side features somewhat of a rarity as Etienne shares a track, “Gateway Experience”, futuristic energy from the accomplished producer, layered with subtle yet effective acid tones. Label head Tom Joyce delivers “7:15pm”, a dreamy quest through melt in your mind synths and punchy electro drum patterns.

As we approach the second vinyl, we uncover further gems from the archive as Lowtec kindly shares his unreleased “La Java 2014”, which was created circa. 2000. Javier Carballo and Aniano have been making positive movements with their Hdz moniker in recent times, and “Moog” is another stamp of approval, a warm bass line converses with the crisp drums and spaced out elements. On the flip, Berlin based Englishman Rob Amboule turns out a killer elasticated groove which takes you for a late night shuffle in “Scrap It”. Huge fun for the hazy hours on the dance floor. Nuversion, formerly known as Juliano, showcases his debut track under this name with “Crepuscule”, addressing further pensive moods with his classy production. Ending the fantastic release in a meditative state of mind, cruising on sweet melodies.

Various Artists - 7 Years Of Sounds Benefit [SND010] 2x12''

Modal Radio Show 039 - Alina
Recorded for Piñata Radio.

Record collector for about 15 years, Alina has become an essential piece of Berlin’s underground scene. Building her collection with oldies and news, unrestrained by any particular genre, she enthrall the dancefloor every time she is behind the decks. 

Aside of being a great artist, Alina is a wonderful person and may be one of the best encounter of the last few years. Counting such a badass woman within our radio show is a real honor.

Driven by old and new edits, as well as club mixes reminiscent of golden 90s childhood heroes such as Prince or Janet Jackson, Alina’s set perfectly displays the positively-charged and empowering selections of her records collection. Symbolically, the mix starts off with her favorite remix of Janet Jackson’s "The Control‘ from 1986.

Modal Radio Show 039 - Alina

Mechanical actions might be seen as the reunion between force and time. With linear time out of the equation, force would stand alone, floating in her own field, her space for eternity. 

Now let's take a body, one single, rigid, solid, human body. With force acting alone like a steamroller, the body would be subjected to a great amount of distortions, its soul and memories transforming into a strange mixture dilated in cyclic never-ending times. Frightening isn’t it ? No beginning nor end, no order, no evolution, only the manifestations of surprise and creation. 

Reminds you a dream ? Well, think about the body. It's a nightmare now.

Magnetismo Inexplicable

Elías Sternin – Magnetismo Inexplicable

Pour cette 4eme tournée, il était évident pour nous de proposer à un dj qui s’alliait avec l’énergie 100% sud intense de cette collection. L’équipe a proposé à Andreas de la scène tonitruante marseillaise et il a décidé de vous surprendre une fois de plus. 

Précautions à l’emploi : attention, il est fort probable que vous arrêtiez tout ce que vous étiez en train de faire à l’instant où le podcast se lance. 
Entre deux trois manèges à sensations et quelques lumières vives, on saisit l’intention & l’implacable envie de vous faire danser / vibrer mais peut-être aussi basculer soudainement vers une belle introspection. C’est un sacré périple aux montagnes russes : tout dépend du choix de l’heure et de l’énergie du moment. Mais ça, ça vous regarde.

Merci @eponym-0

Encore merci à vous pour votre soutien

The symbol on side A is a more than 3000y old Chinese letter signifying "dance", probably a shamanic dance for the gods or a rain dance.
The illustrations on side B are both from France, the menhir is the "Dame de Saint Sernin" and the bison "de la Madeleine".
Picture in the background was taken in Yakushima, a southern island in Japan that is the model for Gibli's Princess Mononoke

Our long time hero @leloupmusic joins the saga with an hour of acid-tribalism.  🐺

The Parisian producer and Dj has been part of the Label’s history since our beginnings, he produced a remix on our 4th release and joined us for a few parties. We are thrilled to have him onboard for a new contribution (and hopefully not the last!) 

If you like that kind of trancey infused sounds, he recently released a couple of killer techno records alongside Chris Carrier under the moniker AV-1. If you listened to us recently, you must have heard them as they are 100% right our alley and always find their ways into our sets. 🔥🌳

Three years after his successful release ‘Brume de Pomme’, the Parisian producer and DJ Tom Joyce is finally back with a 4 track EP with Sounds Benefit, his brand-new vinyl label.

‘Diversions EP’ is a perfect blend and association of his great store of influences, where the French artist delivers four diversified and atmospheric cuts, navigating between Chicago house, mellow deep house and lo-fi electro beats.

A record that should definitely delight the dancers and the dreamers.

Tom Joyce - Diversions EP [SND001] 12''

For this new episode in the V/A series, label head Tom Joyce has collected an unexpected bunch of artists from Frankfurt, Paris and Casablanca. The A side opens with a little banger from GOSU boyz Manuel Schatz & Rob Amboule, followed up by Peter Raw with his bouncy track Brotherhood. On the flip, Kosh - who co-owns Casa Voyager - delivers a liquid electro tune with his trademark sound alongside the floating beats of rising talent Hdv - a solo project by half of the French duo Loop Exposure. There is no doubt, Kloni will be your best companion for this winter.

Matthias Wagner - Who is Gary? [SND007] 12''

The 8th release on French label Sounds Benefit comes in a carefully curated package featuring Frankfurt’s Phil Evans, Def Engine, Rube Goldberg Series founder Bowyer and Tom Joyce, head of the label.

Opener ‘Bell Skit’ from Pager Records co-creator Phil Evans has an inevitable warm and infectious vibe - exactly what you are after - fluttering pads shimmer around the cosy body of the track, combined with shuffling drum work. Cut from a more direct cloth is Marco Bley aka Def Engine, with a slick and minimal edit of his track 'Escape Moot' released in 96 on Din A1 records.

On the B side, UK producer Bowyer delivers ‘Big Beat Manifesto’, a breezy summer track with a deeper energy than the three others, a young and talented producer to keep an eye on over the coming period. A fitting addition to the VA as Tom has just found himself releasing on Bowyer's, Rube Goldberg Series, an exchange of tracks between the two, each sitting comfortably on the others label. Closing out the record is Sounds Benefit founder, Tom Joyce, almost six minutes of bliss, dreamy synths melt into the snappy bass line, a classy production from the Paris based artist.
