Mutoscope Podcast #007 - Mopfunk

Foreign is the pseudonym used by Miguel Vázquez to play sets of IDM and electro sounds, combining the smoothness and efficiency of transparent melodies with abstract landscapes and dense atmospheres loaded with complex polyrhythmic structures.

After some initial years playing in small local clubs, where trance and techno formed the most prominent sound in his sets, it was in mid-2001 when Miguel and Iván Marín created Silverside Collective with the aim of investigating and promoting the most experimental side of electronic music.

At the same time, he started working in the well-known record shop Recycled Music Center in Madrid, run by Dj Yke. This period lasted several years and meant for him a remarkable apprenticeship in all styles of electronic music.

Throughout these years Foreign has played in several events of Hard Taste, A.I. Series and in clubs like NAO, Dub Club, Specka, Graffiti, Shagü Club, etc..

In 2022 he created his own label, Mutoscope Records, mostly oriented to the IDM sound. He's currently preparing his first reference which will be released on vinyl soon.

Which artists has influenced you the most?

- I remember buying the albums of Bola, Autechre, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Mike Paradinas, Squarepusher, Plaid, Luke Vibert, D'Arcangelo, Funckarma, etc, with a lot of interest in discovering new music.
The sound of labels like Warp, Skam, Rephlex, Planet Mu, Djak-Up-Bitch (DUB)... were the first influences I received.

What new projects/releases with your participation are expected in the near future?

- Mutoscope Records is my record label, I´m working on releasing a digital EP in the next few months and a vinyl of several artists in corelease with Artificial Intelligence Records for next winter.

Which artists/labels is more relevant to you now?

- Brainwaltzera's and RTR's musical projects are the ones that interest me the most at the moment.
I think the main label for all IDM/Braindance people nowadays is Analogical Force, although I follow almost all label releases related to these styles.

What inspires you now to create music?

- Years ago I had some interest in creating music but I'm not currently a producer.

What set-up do you use when creating music?

- This mix is recorded with vinyls.
I have used two Technics SL-1200 MK5 dj turntables and a Pioneer mixer.

Strange But Dance Music #122: Foreign

Defrag is extreme sound design and audio rhythmic experimentation of Jeff Dodson, a composer and sound designer living in Los Angeles CA.

Defrag's influences like IDM, dubstep and experimental abstract glitch, filter into his music. With his classical background giving it a more cinematic progression. Orchestrated strings, piano, classic analogue synths and software processing add up to a fusion of analogue warmth, modern classical and raw digital abstraction.

That he chooses instead to make his attention to detail the vehicle for his songs rather than their focus is not only admirable, it’s a definitive comment on his priorities and where they lie. Defrag makes complicated music, but you can completely forget that in the moment and just experience it.

Cassini

We proudly present this live-recording of Nikos; that serves as a journey through the more chilled out vibes of his electronic music pallet. 

Using playful and hypnotic sounds, Nikos likes to create and play music that encourages movement and a listening experience. In his live sets he moves between fast rhythms and slower beats, bringing soft and hard sounds together. He has also encapsulated his versatile sound in his first EP ‘Metaturnal’ released on Flippen Disks.

As a producer and visual designer he is interested in how both disciplines can complement each other such as in his audiovisual project UMBRA. Nikos likes to organize listening events in a relaxed setting, which he does throughout The Netherlands, under the name of Pelagic Ambient.

luhmehbebe - machin3 gir1 (m1ch4el minimalist remix)

We are thrilled to anounce a true electronic poem created by Roel Funcken, who needs no introduction.
Roel's music is advanced in sound design, often incorporating unique experimentation in electronic sound, with cut-up, twisted, atmospheric sonic soundscapes, leaving the cranium always begging for more. His ambient textures maintain a cinematic quality throughout, while his percussive arrangements retain a constantly mutating framework, always reconstructing its rhythm and structure, contradicting complex configurations and minimal design. It's always a pleasure to taste the latest treat from this aural engineer, and find the latest gem in his never-ending arsenal of sound.

Which artists has influenced you the most?

- Autechre, Aphex twin, Phoenecia, The future sound of London, Plaid.

What new projects/releases with your participation are expected in the near future?

- Looking for exclusive access to my latest collaborations? Look no further! While I can't yet reveal the names of my collaborators or the release details, I can tell you that everything will be available upfront on my Bandcamp page. Subscribe now to stay in the loop and be the first to hear my newest releases!

Which artists/labels is more relevant to you now?

- Labels: Ilian tape, Satellite Era, Touched Music, Analogical Force, Yuku
Artists: Exm, Ard Bit, Edward Johannes, Bot23, Eedl 

What inspires you now to create music?

- Mainly just to keep my head straight. 

What set-up do you use when creating music?

- It’s pretty simple nowadays. A computer a sound card and good monitors. Especially with collaborating its all you need.
