Been waiting a long time for this one thanks to NTSradio, my gosh you can't beat this sax/synth blend - Help support the Mood Hut - http://www.redeyerecords.co.uk/vinyl/54009-mh007-jack-j  -  http://www.discogs.com/Jack-J-Looking-Forward-To-You-Take-It-To-The-Edge-Something-On-My-Mind/release/5853011

Jack J - Something On My Mind

Whoever you are, and no matter what your musical preference, there is a good chance you have danced to a Kieran Hebden beat before now. The London man best known as Four Tet has done everything in his career, from glistening indie-licked electronica albums to pumping bass and garage mixes for Fabric via collaborations with Steve Reid and Burial, shows on NTS and plenty of club ready projects on his own Text label. We have long been a fan, and recently he played for us at Dekmantel Festival. 

The results were recorded and we present them to you here as our latest podcast. As you would expect, it is hard to put into words what the man aims for, and achieves, across the course of two hours, but suffice it to say it will surely be the most adventurous mix you hear for a while. From niche Indian music to classic house, dirty STL cuts to synthetic tech and Latin tinged funk, he stitches together a wild ride full of smooth left turns and dazzling curveballs that will make you want to loosen every limb in your body and shake till you drop. We already have done once back in early August, and now we surely will do again and again and again. 


Dekmantel Podcast 032 - Four Tet

John Talabot is the acclaimed Spanish DJ and producer who has brought a real sense of melody and occasion to house and techno. The Hivern Discs boss, as well as releasing a standout album in ƒIN, and fine collaborations with Axel Boman and Pional, is also an in-demand remixer celebrated for being able to create majestical grooves from originals by people like The xx and Shit Robot. He has also put together a stunning DJ Kicks mix and now he has been in the booth again, putting together a typically epic podcast for our on going series. 

Across the course of one and a half hours, the Barcelona based Talabot lays out his musical modus operandi in all its glory: serene house riddled with melody, dreamy pads and wavy tones that speak to the soul. With a rather blissed out and dreamy undercurrent, he slowly works through house old and new and keeps a strong, compelling groove present and correct at all times. Officially entitled "Post Summer Melodies" by Talabot, this mix is full of just that, and is sure to keep you warm long after the sun has gone.

Resident's Hour is a new series we're launching with an aim to highlight something that's very close to our hearts - the warm up mix. Dancers Wanted chieftain, Ruf Dug, delivers a mix akin to the first hour in Manchester's Soup Kitchen dance haven.

“Stick on a long record and go for a chat with somebody who just came to your party, whether you know them or not.” — @RufDug

Groove Podcast 48 - Gerd Janson

Headman/Robi Insinna introduces Relish Industria, a new series from the ever evolving label head which will showcase a wealth of the electronic's rising stars. Each release will be A compilation EP, featuring various artists with Vol I setting the standard with Mondowski, Maya Danon and a rework from Headman's own '6 Album' feat Red Axes.

The first track comes from Bordeaux based Mondowski, known well for his residency at his very own 'Shadowplay' at the iBoat.  He draws inspirations from techno to new-wave and electro to rock and acid house. "Cry wolf“ is a dark, slow repetitive atmospheric film Noir-esque affair with cold synths.  He is currently working on his third EP as well as various other projects.

"So you say“ is the second release of Maya Danon, a Tel Aviv based musician, sound artist and producer, who has featured previously on Relish.  Her first track 'Dazed' was featured on REPVI and received strong support from the likes of Shit Robot. Again she delivers an organic techno track with a twist, that shows her feel for sounds and groove.

The final track on Relish Industria I, is Headman's rework of 'Barbarism'. It features I’m a cliché’s Red Axes.The original version was released on last years '6' album with huge support across the board including Ivan Smagghe and Mexico's Rebolledo. The rework has taken on an Italo disco vibe, yet keeps the dark and driving elements and uses new exclusive parts.

Out now 12" & Beatport exclusive http://news.lnk.to/fernandezRMX 

From Berlin via Tel Aviv comes Moscoman, the music producer behind the underground hit ‘Fernandez’, released last year on Eskimo Recordings. We have invited Red Axes to remix. Support from Optimo, Michael Mayer, Marcus Marr, Psychemagik, Acid Pauly, In Flagranti, Jacques Renault, Headman, Kasper Bjorke, Shir Khan, Rory Phillips, Bottin, Pete Herbert, Doctor Dru…

Moscoman’s original is extremely catchy, incorporating punchy claps and an almost psychedelic melody with a bassline that seamlessly brings all the parts together. Red Axes spin their own charm into ‘Fernandez’ creating a more dramatic affair crafted through powerful percussion yet holding onto the original playful melodies. In Moscoman’s own words “this one is super special, it’s a killer!"
 
From Berlin via Tel Aviv comes Moscoman. His music can be found on on Eskimo Recordings, ESP Institute, Correspondant and I'm a Cliché. Mosco's distinctive sound, which takes in elements of techno, new wave, house and the sounds of his native Middle East, has seen him quickly soar to prominence via his own production, his remix work, his DJing style and has now further been cemented by the success of his up and coming record label Disco Halal.
 
Red Axes is a project created by Tel Aviv based producers and DJs Dori Sadovnik and Niv Arzi who have been performing together for a long time but first released as Red Axes in 2009. Their music can be found on labels such as Correspondant, Hivern Discs and Throne Of Blood. More recently they have appeared on Crosstown Rebels as part of ’Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons Remixes From The Other Side’ following an EP on the label last year.

Gottwood Mix #013 - Ruf Dug

Joining us this month is one of the most consistent producers around at the moment. In the past six years Alex has been releasing exciting material through local Stockholm labels such as Abdulla Rashim's Northern Electronics, Bossmuik, and Aniara Records which put out his first record back in 2010. Aniara Records is also responsible for putting out the majority of his output as one half of Genius Of Time, the irresistible DJ/Live act he formed with his good friend Nils Krogh but the duo's punchy releases also found a home on Clone's Royal Oak and Gerd Janson's Running Back. The past two years have seen him focusing primarily on his solo output as Dorisburg and his most ambitious project to date arrived earlier this year on John Talobot's Hivern Discs in the form of the Irrbloss LP.

Today he's prepared a very special mix of mysterious and rare hypnotic House cuts which he recorded straight to cassette through a studio console and analogue outboard. He told us the mix is for "late night internet exploring...something to get lost within while browsing the unknown corners of the web... or possibly what a rave could sound like on an abandoned space station". Enjoy!

Next up on Hivern Disc's edit series comes a very special vinyl-only release by collaborative project Lost Scripts – a match made in heaven between label head John Talabot and Pional.

"A.F.K." is our highlight, found on the flip and providing an uplifting Afro-inspired house track. The track balances its influences evenly, with percussive saturation and ritualistic vocal chants entwining with curly synth patterns, creating a journey that starts – as the Hivern family put it rightly themselves – 'in the savannah and ends in outer space'.

HVNED04 drops on July 29th as a limited edition 1o", housed in a silk-screened sleeve.

Recording from John Talabot's set at Dekmantel's Lente Kabinet Festival 2016.

John Talabot @ Lente Kabinet Festival (28/05/2016)

JLM and Chris Wang started the party Love Dancing in 2009 in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Love Dancing, along with Jesse Proudfoot and Chris Allen’s Good Faith,  was a formative dance experience for many of us in Vancouver and an essential ingredient in the Mood Hut stew. The music on this disc dates from that period and captures some of the energy of the Love Dancing parties. We hope you enjoy it.

Joy Orbsion is someone we have a long and fruitful relationship with here at Dekmantel. He is, and always has been, a pure embodiment of UK dance music. His sound is steeped in English musical history (often explicitly in the form of sampled monologues) but also very much makes a new history of its own. He’s had countless underground hits from his definitive post-dubstep breakthrough ‘Hyph Mngo’ to his peak time tech tools with Boddika, and each one marks a mini reinvention of his style. What ties them all together, though, is O’Grady’s unique penchant for blending garage, bass, funky, house, techno and old school jungle into his own fresh concoctions. 

The two hour podcast he has served up here -as a perfect warm up to our festival this weekend- is split into two parts. Says the artist himself, “the first half is basically a way of showcasing producers that are doing great things at the moment and is completely made up of new, unreleased music, and the second half is basically winding things down with a load of stuff from my record collection. A come down, of sorts.” Starting with a spoken word snippet from his jungle playing uncle Ray Keith, the mix is initially atmospheric and moody, with sleek and stripped back drums and smeared synths making for a heady and intimate mood. After picking up through skewed bass patterns and skeletal techno, the second half seduces with elegiac rhythms, jazz selections and spoken word tracks as well as delicious soul sounds, reggae and stoned broken beat.  The results show exactly where Orbison is at musically, as well as offering an insight into where he has come from.
