Reclaim Your City #462 with Arkan - 20 Novembre 2021

@Sklasi is a DJ from Utrecht who has been in love with techno for 6 years. He has discovered many subgenres, but in recent years he has stuck with groovy and loopy techno, which he also likes to use in his sets. He also likes to use techno tracks from the 90's and 00's as he feels these tracks work great with the newer techno. Layering these tracks is a lot of fun for him and makes for an exciting listening experience for the dancer and fun mixing for him.

Bristol's Kelvin Belton who is based in Stuttgart is no stranger to the underground music scene.

His residencies with some of South Germanys most successful nights. Behind the decks, is the combination between Techno with the focus on heavy bass lines and experimental soundscapes offer something for the dedicated move sound lovers this technical proficiency is ever more evident in the studio, with his use of complex percussion and raw melodic sounds stamping the trademark on his productions.

The studio live experience is the only real way to get a vision on just how much music Kelvin Belton makes.

Blue Hour - iN Podcast 001

Klaudia, thanks for agreeing to this interview. It was such a pleasure to record your mix to share with the public. 

How was the transition from Jasmin to Andromeda?

I started playing with my middle name Jasmin while studying at University in Leeds and becoming part of a thriving scene that was the perfect breeding ground for aspiring artists. I was drawn by the raw and classic sounds of acid house and Detroit techno and after moving to London, I started to get introduced to the techno scene through events such as Unmasked, On The 5th Day and Koodeta. The turning point was when I performed for the first time at HTBX and got introduced to a scene that was different to anything I had ever experienced before. Playing vinyl sets to a hedonistic crowd that was hungry for the heavier stuff really inspired me to dig deeper and find records that expressed my darker side. I decided to start a new project that would represent my alter-ego by embodying the character of ‘The Chained Woman’ from Greek mythology, Andromeda. It was a spontaneous transition that gave me a chance to reinvent my public persona by playing under an alias that is a metaphysical representation of my higher self. 

As a regular at unfold, how do you find the booth being in the middle of the room?

I think that the 360 degrees DJ booth is a great concept that creates an intimate atmosphere by removing the barrier between the crowd and the performer. It makes you feel more connected with the crowd by being on the same level on the dancefloor. It was the first time that I played on such a setup and I could really feel the energy of the room all the way through, it was magical.

Do you prepare your set in a different way when you play in the round?

I don’t think that the DJ setup has an effect on the way I prepare for my sets but playing in the round can encourage you to get out of your comfort zone and play tracks that you might have not played otherwise. For example I ended up playing ‘Higher State Of Consciousness’ which wasn’t planned but it fit the moment perfectly and many people were coming up to me and commenting about that particular track which wasn't on my original tracklist. I also played some dialogue from the matrix during the breakdown of one of the tracks which was a very transcendental moment. 

It was great to make you our latest resident at FOLD. Have you held a residency at a club before?

It is an honour to be one of the residents at FOLD and I feel extremely lucky to be part of such a ground-breaking institution. I was first made resident of an event called Flux in Leeds in 2010 which became one of the most popular student nights in the city. I was also a regular at one of the most legendary clubbing institutions in the world, Back to Basics, where I hosted the second room and played alongside legendary artists such as Derrick May, Carl Craig, Chez Damier and many others. I organised my own events in London for many years after that where I played as a resident and hosted radio shows on stations such as Hoxton FM, Bloop and Soho Radio. 

What do you see as a unique challenge to being a resident DJ? Do you try to do a different set each time or is there not enough time in between shows to do that effectively? 

I think the biggest challenge of a resident is to maintain a consistent sound and at the same surprise the crowd every time you perform by making sure that each set is memorable. I spend most of my spare time searching for music and I buy new tracks before every performance in order to deliver a unique performance that is specifically tailored to that moment in time. As a perfectionist, I always strive to make each set better than the previous one and the challenge of trying to achieve that is what gets me excited about performing. Having a residency makes it possible to grow and develop your skills as an artist by delivering quality sets on a regular basis and becoming part of an institution that trusts and believes in you.

He has promoted and resided at many Techno clubs throughout Ireland as well as playing in many Techno havens across the world including Amsterdam, London, New York, Bratislava, Berlin, Leeds and Turin.

In '99 Jon was among the first group from Ireland to qualify for the Red Bull Music Academy which was held in Berlin. Over the past decade he has kept this passion nurtured by being continuously involved in similar projects and innovations and recently organised a group of young rising Irish DJs and producers to participate at the pioneering PLUG “Plug European Electronic Music Conference” in Berlin. 

Music wise Jon has played alongside many of his all time favourite artists from Plaid to Surgeon, Joey Beltram, Jeff Mills, Steve Bicknell, Sunil Sharpe, Takaaki Itoh, Ancient Methods, Loktibrada, Rumenige, Dave Clarke, Mark Broom, Henning Baer, Inigo kennedy, Neil Landstrumm, Reeko, Grovskopa, DJ Boss, Bas Mooy, Perc, Hardfloor, Oscar Mulero, Jerome Hill, AnD, Truss, Paula Temple, Christian Wunsch and Exium!!

In 2011 Jon dedicated some production time with fellow Techno DJ Sunil Sharpe as part of a joint project under the moniker Tricaustic and released “the Caustophobic Pressure EP” on Komisch records which was well received and supported by artists such as Dave Clarke, Surgeon, Peter Van Hoesen, Anthony Shakir, Smear, Kriz, DJ 3000 and many more.

Recently the national radio station (2FM) were quoted in their Late Night Sessions Blog as stating that “Jon Hussey is one of the longest serving true purveyors of Techno in Ireland, running nights in the early days of Dublin's dance scene, when techno to most people meant U96 or 2 Unlimited. Consistently one of the best DJs around, Jon never lets the side down” giving a rare insight into Jon's personality as a DJ!

CLOSERCAST #037 - JON HUSSEY

Suspended is born during the pandemic in Berlin. Techno and a dusty basement brought us together as friends and as a collective. 

We look to cultivate an inclusive environment through art and sound - a (first of all) digital space to promote artists of different media, to set up new topics, build awareness and inspire. 

What exactly is relevant for followers of our subculture? How do artists find inspiration? And what is required to make positive and safe experiences on the dance floor?

Central to the collective’s goals is the promotion of artists of different mediums who look to share their passion. This means we’re open for art direction during collaborations and encourage artists to share their visions. Our expectation isn’t that all projects are related to us, fact quite the opposite. We wish to be a conduit, not the focus. 

Feel free to reach out to us if you’re a creative and interested in showing your work.

Mara, Philipp & Laura
