ALBUM CONCEPT
In the year 2909, the first naturally-born human is found with endogenous AI code built into its DNA. As we cross into the 31st century, all living humans are controlled by a decentralized master AI known as MINDFRAME. The system has access to all of human consciousness with the ability to store and manipulate the data of every interaction and thought — even operating within your subconscious mind. It becomes impossible to know when or how you’re being controlled. 

During each sleep cycle, our behaviors and memories are reformatted to align with MINDFRAMES control and order programming. Some have discovered that during these cycles, there are parts of the AI’s algorithm left exposed to extraction. Through meditative states, gifted cyber-shamans are now on a mission to reverse engineer enough of the AI to escape its grip and free us all.

Week 62 of BETAMAX invites producer, DJ and electro/techno enthusiast - Ben Worden aka FRANCOIS DILLINGER @fdbeardd

He glides between the two worlds of electro and techno. While he grew up an hour east of the Motor City, his musical roots were firmly planted in Detroit’s thriving late 90’s underground. His journey through the genres is dark while retaining a cerebral, dancefloor-oriented quality. This stems from the influences of Industrial, Detroit’s rich history of electro, minimal techno, and even Ghettotech. His Live & DJ sets lean heavily into the generation of hypnotic loops, creating long protracted mixes between elements to form an unshakeable tension.

He recently co-founded a new up-and-coming label, Infolines, managing their creative direction and operates the digital techno label, DONTDOIT, when he’s not focused on electro. The 2021 release calendar still holds two more LPs from DILLINGER – one via Specimen Records and the other a collab album with Cyphon & Obzerv via a new, TBA imprint.  Stay tuned for even more VAs and Eps as well as the launch of his new monthly show on Deep Space Radio coming in September.

The name Betamax stands for quality electronic music and analog warmth in micro/minimal/lo-fi/tech house/breakbeat and electro genres. The show itself is a mix series to represent groovy, funky, and rough sounds to show a more creative and experimental approach to dance music and @Play4n4.

MINDFRAME

MINDFRAME 001: FRANCOIS DILLINGER [LIVE+INTERVIEW+DJ]

A crew made up of established and upcoming mind hackers has set out to reprogram MINDFRAME: These data warriors used FRANCOIS DILLINGER’s encrypted code and wrote a new script designed to set us all free from the dream. 

Each hacker delivers within their specific character and style, while willingly showing off a range of elegant interpretations—from half-time excursions to acid madness, through time traveling industrial-DNB, laser-sharp rhythms, and hypnotic meditations of melody. 

MINDFRAME is a concept from the mind of FRANCOIS DILLINGER, launched with the album ‘MINDFRAME: Cycles’ on Specimen Records. The story continues to expand during a monthly podcast on Deep Space Radio (twitch.com/deepspaceradio), the final Sunday of every month at noon Detroit | 5 PM London. Upcoming 2021 guests on the show include TELEPHASYCX!, Ivna Ji, Jauzus The Shining, Serge Geyzel & Karsten Pflum, Arsonist Recorder — all part of the Specimen roster of artists. 

Unlock your mind. Upgrade your consciousness.
