Zaćmienie (2021 Version)

The fourth podcast by Mohlao picks up where he left off his live set at FIBER festival earlier this year; with grim electro sounds of a dystopian techno future.
The talented producer, who is currently studying film in Brussels, grew up in Leeuwarden. This city in the north of the Netherlands is a breeding ground for talent with artists like Delta Funktionen (DF) and Conforce; frontrunners in the Dutch techno scene. Earlier this year Mohlao and DF released their spacious dubtechno experiments under the moniker Inward Content. The influence of Versalife aka Conforce is also clearly present in this podcast.
They all seem to explore a more spiritual approach to techno that expresses their personal feelings towards music and life.
Is it the vastness of the Frisian countryside that is responsible for these gloomy sounds? According to Mohlao his visual inspiration comes from movies like Vozvrashchenie (2003) by Russian director Andreij Zvyagintsev. The characteristics of this movie, with its empty landscapes and impressive cinematography, clearly resemble the moody atmosphere of dubtechno. On the other hand, his electro vibes could be drawn back to Weimar cinema.
The visual techniques employed in Robert Wiene’s Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (1920), a motion picture also mentioned by Mohlao, were iconic for the German expressionistic film style; diagonal lines, geometric shapes, chiaroscuro effects and slanting rooftops all together creating a disturbing and emotionally charged atmosphere. This electro set with its dystopian miasma and punishing beat could serve as a perfect soundtrack.

Hallow Point Extended Mix

✈️ “Trip to the Beach” es un viaje sonoro que despega desde el aeropuerto hacia un destino hipnótico en el corazón del Caribe.
Entre pulsos de techno psicodélico, frecuencias profundas y texturas hipnóticas, el oyente atraviesa el ruido del abordaje, el rugido del avión y la calma tropical del aterrizaje.
El ritmo se transforma a medida que el viaje avanza, mezclando la energía del psytechno con vibras cálidas, percusiones playeras y una atmósfera que te envuelve como una brisa electrónica.
Más que un track: una experiencia inmersiva de trance, movimiento y libertad. 🌴✨

TRIP TO THE BEACH

This month's mix comes from Barcelona-based, Mexican multi-media artist @syntaxerika. 

Tracklist + Interview: subtempo.com/mixes/syntax-erika

Her work is a combination of visual art and sound. She runs the small label Ambient Lux and is currently working on a few installations that should be presented soon in Berlin and Monterrey. 

She prepared an interesting journey from ambient to deep into the techno realms of Paula Temple. Lots of favorites in there from Ilian Tape, Silent Season, Delsin and more.

17.09 M.U.S.A.

18.09 AMEBA Parkfest
This youth association was born in December 2014 as a non-profit organization to carry out cultural activities of dissemination, training, and development for the defense, promotion, and dissemination of electronic music created in Catalonia in all its artistic variants. This time the invited artists will pay tribute to the mythical free festival that takes place every year in Barcelona, AMEBA Parkfest, not held in 2020 due to sanitary restrictions

20.09 MARICAS
MARICAS was born in January 2018 due to several discussions about the lack of a night-out in Barcelona that combined electronic music and the queer scene. If we look back on history, the techno rave community started with the help of the LGBTQ+ misfits of the 80s. Both communities have very similar values, freedom, youth and underground culture. Our home is Barcelona, but we aim to take MARICAS all over the globe, and have already had nights in Stockholm, Ibiza, Paris, Valencia and participated in Whole Festival. In 2020 MARICAS Records was founded, a genre music fluid label, and the first release was non other than by resident and maricas mother ISAbella.

Giant Windows of Colour 01  @ operator radio 23.10.2020 (dj)

Omakase investi la sulfureuse @pinataradio pour une mensuelle haute en musique et couleur. L'idée est simple: à chaque épisode un pigment à l'honneur et un invité pour développer un mix audio autour de celui ci.

Pour le 10e épisode de notre série d'émission haute en couleur nous avons eu le plaisir d'accueillir le programmateur du bon air festival et DA de l’agence BI Pole, aka @lamateur, pour une interprétation synesthésique riche et nuancée de la couleur cuivre. Au programme, 1H30 de vibes  oscillant entre ambient, hiphop, electro, breaks, ethnic, space disco.. Bref, une épopée sonore qui réchauffe et électrise. Exactement ce dont on avait besoin en cette fin d'année (toute pourrie) <3
