EPM Podcast 145 comes from Adam Stolz. Growing up in Kalamazoo he counts both Chicago and Detroit as heavy influences (alongside a life-long love of hip hop). As one half of Rico & Sonny, Adam had been working on a new artistic project alongside Tim Baker, who sadly passed away this year. The fruits of their labours will eventually see the light of day and their first release can be found on EPM’s third ‘EPM20’ EP alongside tracks from Eddie Fowlkes, Jon Dixon and DJ 3000. Now Adam gets behind the decks, taking the techno night train with tracks from Justin Berkovi, Robert Hood, G Flame, Alden Tyrell, Cri du Coeur, Lester Fitzpatrick, D-Knox, M.F.S: Observatory and more.

Raised in a household where music was on all day, Adam developed an avid interest and ear for music from early childhood. His father spent time in the music business promoting parties in Western Michigan, bringing artists such as Fleetwood Mac, Alice Cooper and the like to enthusiastic fans in concert. Being surrounded with stories of artists and renowned musicians heavily influenced Adam’s desire to find himself musically as an artist. In the early 90s, he spent time at his local record store mixing while his friends started appreciating his ear for new music. Adam naturally progressed to find a path in DJing, producing and mixing, and has since shared decks with globally renowned artists such as Nightmares on Wax and Alex Bau. 

At the core a visual artist, Adam’s music production process is very conceptual, ‘I view music very much like I would a painting, layered’. Growing up around Kalamazoo, MI he was heavily influenced by the Kzoo Techno scene and the amazing artists that came from the city (Jay Denham, D-Knox, Fanon Flowers, Chance McDermott). Around 2010, he was asked to put out a release on Black Nation Records and from there he went on to produce two releases for Prosthetic Pressing that morphed into classic dance floor remixes for his productions by artists such as Dan Curtin, Lee Curtis and Frankie Vega. He has also had releases on Cryovac Recordings & Elephanthaus Records. Adam’s music range is wide albeit focusing on hip hop, techno and house. With musical knowledge and experience under his belt, Adam collaborated with several artists such as Ryan Boos, releasing a trip-hop style album ‘Open Channel’, rooted in hip-hop, soul and folk. Currently, he is in the process of releasing a few bangers that he had co-produced in collaboration with his late friend and Detroit + Chicago legend, Tim Baker. 

If techno and hip-hop weren’t enough, Adam has recently started exploring opportunities in film, in a debut collaboration, scoring for the independent Chicago feature film production, ‘Rushed Submission’. 

EPM20 – EP3 is out now.
The Various Artist compilation EPM20 is released 15 October.

EPM Podcast #145 - Adam Stolz

Eric Glaze- minimal detroit

Mix shared to help commemorate 20 mega years and the closing of sHIFT Radio 101.5 UMFM in Winnipeg. Big congrats to my dude Marc LaCasse and friends for such a run! My contribution was recorded live at House Proud Mpls on 10.1.21. Recording is a bit crunchy in some places but it was SUCH a good night I couldn't not share it. Legit had goosebumps several times during my set. Enjoy!

BLACK GIRL / WHITE GIRL aka Karin & Ty, are a duo on the rise. In their ten years of experience, they have defined a new sound oscillating between classic 90s techno, jackin' Chicago acid, and hypnotic, ass-shaking machine funk.

The pair have been on a roll recently, releasing a string of highly sought-after cuts on SYMBOLISM, Super Rhythm Trax, and Balkan Vinyl, while picking up support from techno titans such as Ben Sims, Josh Wink, Truncate, Ben Klock, Luke Slater, Noncompliant, and Len Faki.

On the dancefloor, their masterfully crafted mix of techno meets acid, breaks, and rave morphs into the energetic peak-time force that has come to define the BLACK GIRL / WHITE GIRL sound. Their sets are fast-paced and muscular, transporting us to the golden era of techno while also moving us firmly into the future, showcasing their appreciation for the past while creating something new altogether.

Over the last years, they've made their mark turning out incredible sets for Ben Sims' MACHNE, Watergate, ADE, Blitz, The Block, Dockyard, MARICAS, HE.SHE.THEY, Milkshake, and Motion Bristol. If you've ever seen the duo live, you'll know they have that elusive magic touch. Every time Karin and Ty hit the decks, they bring all the twisted arcs, goosebumps, and mind-melting sensations. Without a doubt, you're in for an unforgettable journey.

When Russian-born DJ and producer Anastasia Kristensen moved Copenhagen as a teenager, she discovered electronic music genres like ghettotech, Detroit techno, Germanic 4/4 techno, acid and minimalistic UK bleep. In developing these tastes, she drew on her upbringing with classical musical and ballet: thinking about the relationship between listening, musicality and movement; music- and dance-based performances which are “rough, full of attitude, change and disruption,” honing in on electronic styles that convey these traits. It’s this multi-genre, internal map-drawing that has made Kristensen’s club sets well regarded as a new DJ and producer, the latter through releases on the Montesario and Nous Disques labels, in 2015 and 2016 respectively. With a fire in her belly, 2017 is looking like her best year yet, having completed on a one-woman club tour of the US and become a resident at arguably Copenhagen’s best dance music club, Culture Box.
