Solid Steel in association with Serato (31st July)In Hour 2 we welcome Kenton Slash Demon to Solid Steel. The Copenhagen residents have released music on Aroma, Tartelet Records and their last EP on the excellent Future Classic from Australia. They had this to say about their mix;
"Our Solid Steel mix is kind of a build up set that starts out around 110bpm. We love to throw different genres together when we play early in the night and mix world tracks with disco and downpitched techno and acid. We’ve also included a new track off our forthcoming EP on Future Classic as well as an unreleased track from our Copenhagen friends Cancer."

Solid Steel Radio Show 31/7/2015 Hour 2 - Kenton Slash Demon

If you ever witnessed a performance by Melvin Oliphant III aka Traxx, you know that the man is more than just your average DJ or producer. Genre-bending and constantly in a state of trance, Traxx is a unique species in our contemporary world of electronic music. All comes forth out of a endless love for music that catches his ear and instantly sets all motion in his body in progress. Seeing him play a deck-segment for the first time will probably knock you out of your shoes as his intense, expressive way of experiencing the music he plays is unparalleled. Not only are his performances not to be missed, his contribution to the Jakbeat movement via his Nation imprint amongst other affiliated labels and his own productions and collaborations are on a similar level.

In 2013 Traxx closed out the smallest stage stage of the first edition of Dekmantel Festival, to prepare the inauguration of a long-standing commitment between Nation and Dekmantel that went into it's third time this year, when Traxx got up on the decks of  the Melkweg Club to close out Saturdays Dekmantel by Night.

Nation decided to share with us in this podcast of the recording from that first night in 2013. An energy-level so intense that brought the crowd into a frenzy, while dancing in the rain.
Hit play, and reminisce...

Dekmantel Podcast 034 - Traxx

REGIS - 'GODFLESH SUPPORT SET' 15:9:2015 @ 'WARSAW'. GREENPOINT, BROOKLYN.

a euphoric engagement and 1st time appearence at Sameheads was small and completely out of the way of a normal size club.

spAceLex hosts an event series called Club Cosmic, 
dedicated to the free spirited vibe of Camp Cosmic,
a festival curated from Albion which takes place in the 
sweden countryside where tribes of music-lovers from all 
over the world head to for a few days of otherwordly 
experiences during mid summer for an amazing 3 days time.

when Traxx plays for the Cosmic music players and diggers 
he plays much more slower and spacey with different ideas.
when this happens over a long length of time it creates 
reaction and interaction that can be enjoyed in a state of 
mind-body integrated euphoria without thinking about this 
text you are currently reading.

Helena Hauff et Umwelt se connaissent bien. La hambourgeoise est en effet l’une des signatures du label Rave or Die dont le fondateur n’est autre que…  Umwelt. Il faut dire que les deux producteurs ont tout pour s’entendre. Ils partagent en effet un goût prononcé pour une techno brute, sombre et glaciale.

Autre point commun, Helena Hauff et Umwelt sont chacun à la tête d’un ou plusieurs labels : Return to Disorder pour elle, New Flesh, Shelter, Fundata et donc Rave or Die pour lui. Une manière pour ces deux jusqu’au-boutistes d’éviter les concessions, d’évoluer au rythme de leurs envies dans les méandres de l’underground. Entre noirceur et complicité, ce versus franco-allemand s’annonce donc sous les meilleurs auspices !

Listen to Lena Willikens' set at Mutual Dreaming back in May + read a Q&A with resident Aurora Halal below.

How would you describe your music policy?

Mutual Dreaming has always been about obsessions of mine, the weirder music, and outlier artists. Its been all over the place from PPU boogie parties, DJ Stingray's NYC debut, Dr Rubinstein, etc, always with a similar spirit of playfulness. I'm never wanting anything standard or genre-abiding.  I saw the fliers and artist choices as a bat signal for people open to that.  Besides the guests, one of its goals has been giving local artists a proper stage, proper sound, and seeing that talent really flex & develop.

What makes a great party? 

A great party is a very elusive thing, only possible when all the details come together and form a collective unconscious that's bigger than any one element.  You can just feel it in the air, everything's churning deeper and feels unstoppable, and that's when personal transformation is possible. You can't always predict when it will happen. As an organizer I think you can help get it there by setting some things in motion, but after that it just unfolds on its own.

What does your party stand for, and how do you express that? 

I have a few half-joking mottos. 'Strictly for the freaks' is something my friend Max D said years ago. Coming from a very conformist city, DC, that has meant the music lovers & friends that you really had to work to find. In my dream world it would be full of people in crazy outfits, but to me freak means something more like a believer in underground culture, and that doesn't necessarily look cool.  The other motto is 'DIY the only way to fly.' Meaning: no sponsorship, nobody else producing it, no need for commercial success, all my projects are meant as a transmission from my imagination. This is really important to me.

 What’s the greatest problem facing club culture in your city? 

Dancing is technically illegal except for a few commercial clubs, so the nightlife I've been interested in has mostly been underground  in lofts and random spaces. There's always a risk of getting shut down, losing tons of money, and the safety and exits can be sketchy.  In recent years especially since the Oakland fire, I have been extra cautious and turned to more legal places, but I'm going back to the underground spots again.  Has to be that way if your tying to catch that feeling of a special space for one night only. Another problem is bros and finance people ruining the vibe, groping girls, etc. Occasionally I'll get discouraged, worrying it will never be the same, but you just have to keep pushing further into your zone and outrunning them.

What’s your favorite memory of the night?

After 7 years its difficult to pick a favorite but I guess I can think of a turning point. 2013, before Sustain-Release started, I had stepped back after a few unsuccessful nights and wondered the way forward if I would continue. I found an incredible loft with lots of strange rooms, and organized a party with new label at the time, White Material vs Vereker. The owner of the space was a weirdo, but as the hours got closer, it became apparent that he was never going to turn on the electricity. I googled him and realized he was an actual scam artist. The truck showed up with the soundsystem and it was now or never, so I called my old space 285 Kent which had ended its 4 year run the night before, so it was open and available for one last party. We roll up to find the toilets had exploded, and there's disgusting chunky brown water covering the entire floor.. we're mopping, and frantically setting up a huge parachute installation on the ceiling, and then the fog machine breaks. But after all that chaos, the result was absolutely pulsing with life force energy. It looked and sounded the best it ever had so far, the music felt new, and I glimpsed the power and potential of our scene, and since then the parties seemed more potent, focused and magic.

JASMINE INFINITI - RUMORS MIX #13

Recorded at Silo, Melbourne, 21.06.17, All hardware Live show

Artefakt is a collaboration between Dutch producers Robin Koek and Nick Lapien that share a love for melancholic, hypnotic voodoo music. Joining their perspectives in a meticulous, hands-on working method, the two bring a balanced and hypnotizing sound to the club. Be it in the form of a dj set or their full- fledged hardware live set crystallizing in the mind and oscillating the body. What sets Artefakt apart is combination of musical material, atmosphere and groove, captivating your spirit, whether you are listening quietly on headphones, or you hear the music pounding from a 10 foot tall PA at a rave.

Wanting to do things a little differently, Peggy offered to take on our 189th Truancy Volume exploring her more downtempo and chill-out picks. Coming in at just under an hour Peggy works her way through tracks by Erykah Badu, hip-hop classics by Black Star, dub from Rhythm and Sound and low BPM groovers from the likes of Wolf Müller and Larry Heard: "I started making this mix a year ago and have been adding tracks and making changes to it since. Sometimes I really enjoy making mixes with tracks that I usually don't play in club but with the nice home listening stuff I like to listen to when I need break from dance music. It features a lot of my favourite artists, legends like Patrick Cowley, Haroumi Hosono, Larry Heard, Mos Def and Erykah Badu, who are all big inspirations of mine.  The way it has been put together means the tracks are sequenced in a way that is slightly different than how I would put them in a DJ set, and shows a little bit more of my personal music taste than the club-style mixes people have heard from me before.  I hope you enjoy it!"
