Vault of Glass @Operator-radio - 9 February 2023

The Vault of Glass is a place unlike anywhere else. It serves as a meeting point between the past, present, and future. It is where all timelines converge, and where every moment of time exists in one instance.

Vault of Glass - 07

El pasado 3 de enero Mr Wakanda, jefe de Luv Bar y Mau Mau Underground, organizó una noche "Tuff Luv" en el Laut de Poble Sec. 
Él y yo hicimos B2B antes y después del headliner de la noche, el capo de Clone Records y Clone Distribution en Rotterdam: Serge. 
El holandés se marcó un set memorable, de lo mejor que he escuchado últimamente. Empezó con Chicago house, a destacar el clásico "Drowning In A Sea Of House" de Laurent X y otros de Paranoid London, Mike Dunn o Mr Lee para pasar al electro con Dynarec, PRZ, Privacy... acabar con acid techno de Ten Lardell y cerrar con el "Emotinium" de Roy Of The Ravers. 

Pese a estar temerosos de cómo iría la noche por ser el 3 de enero y el hecho de que Serge pinchase de 2 a 4, a las 2 de la noche ya había ambientazo en la pista y acabó siendo una noche para el recuerdo.

Para acompañar este mix he hecho esta mini entrevista a Serge:

-When did you discover house music, and when did you start DJing?
-That must have been around 1986-87. I was listening to a lot of radio while doing homework, and I heard some really cool new dance music on a couple of shows. It was so different that I wanted to know more about it! It started with hip-hop, R&B, disco, and electro, but at the time, those sounds were mixed with house, wave, and early acid and techno. It was so powerful.

-When was the Clone label founded? What was your idea at the time? 
-In 1992. I was making music with a couple of friends and wanted to get it out into the world and play it myself (vinyl was the only way to play your music in a club). I decided to do it myself, just like the early house and techno labels that inspired me. I also wanted to keep creative freedom and experiment.

-If you had to recommend three essential Clone releases to someone who doesn't know the label, what would they be?
-I can’t answer that question because everyone has their own way into music. It’s personal for everyone, and I can only answer this question if I know someone’s preferences. Some people think Larry Heard’s music isn’t "party" enough and prefer trance. What can you do in such a case? 😊

I recommend spending time scrolling through the catalog and enjoying the pleasure of discovering music you’ve never heard before, all by yourself.

-How do you discover new talent for Clone Records?
-People in my network might recommend someone, I listen to demos, I discover new artists via social media, I hear a great new record by a producer I didn’t know, I connect at parties, or I meet people in the store.

-What advice would you give to someone who wants to start their own record label?
-Haha, don’t do it! 😆
It’s going to suck up a lot of your time, and there’s a fair chance it will make you poor.

But seriously… just do whatever you want to do. Don’t listen to others—just see where it takes you.

-Three gigs from your career at a club or festival that you remember as the best.
The Colundi party at Tapeley Mansion in Devon.
A party in an underwater aquarium, two meters below sea level, in 1992 in Zeeland (all the fish died at the end of the event from the heavy bass 😅).
An illegal acid party in an abandoned fortress, where I did a live set with my old O.R.X. project around 1996.
And, of course, the Acid Planet parties at De Blauwe Aanslag.


RHYTHM CONTROL BARCELONA MIXES 010: SERGE - CLONE RECORDS

Radio set for Noods Radio in Bristol playing a mix of classic and new house tracks.

Noods Radio - Bristol  - House Set (12-6-25)

Brace yourselves for a breakneck ride this month as our longtime friends and distributor Clone hijack RYC frequencies with a massive takeover for the whole month of October. Breaking this four-part installment in, Amsterdam’s Afra cuts in with two-hours of old-school Detroit electro vibrations, hi-velocity breaks and future-facing floor narratives beckoning us onto a whole distinct dimension entirely. All in finessed vortical dynamics and rapid-fire bass deluge, the Dutch DJ pulls out an absolute charge of a chiseled and finely-curated mix, locked-and-loaded on having ravers lose their mind to this effervescing fusion of frantic sci-fi-like atmosphere and proper nuclear propulsion. Buckle your belt.

Taking the helm for the second number in Clone’s October takeover, here goes the mastermind himself, Serge with an ever epic selection of hard-nosed bangers and boundary-pushing ordnance. Having built an absolute monument to electronic music in the broadest, most widely eclectic sense of the term, Serge remains a driving force without equivalent both within and well beyond the borders of Netherlands. His much anticipated mix for RYC attests to the evergreen quality of his selections and precision of his mixing, diving deep into his own label’s catalogue and like-minded repertoires to once again deliver the most compelling club-destroying transmission you could think of. Expect torrents of acid-drenched psychedelia, rough-hewn analogue bursts, cutting-edge slices and laser-precise groovers on a post-industrial tip. BEEG.

Third artist to grace us in this Clone-curated month of October, The Hague’s one-and-only analogue wizard Legowelt surfaces with a mix sprawling from esoteric proto-techno to hallucinogenic electro, via trance-infused dreamscapes, eerie pop and mystique-imbued downtempo. As the true master of the synths he is, Legowelt has us traveling far and deep into a layered multiverse of dazzling hardware stutter and iridescent machine funk out a frizzling, VHS-supported headspace. Effusively vivid and durably haunting 8-bit-informed tapestries succeed through this glitchy maze of fractured tempi and vectorial stunts, cascading seamlessly as Legowelt pulls off yet another magnetic expression of retro-laced granularity and enhanced organic synthesis. Mythical.

Bringing this month of Clone-ruled brilliance to a closure, legendary German act The Exaltics treat us to a face-melting avalanche of abrasive kick-n-snare-heavy assault and future-proof sound engineering. Championing that no-surrender electro pulse and the same acid-soaked dystopian atmospheres that innervate their whole discography, the two-hour set here presented showcases the uncompromising nature of The Exaltics sound: both rugged to the core and infinitely complex in its musical phrasing. The result is a highly corrosive and equally dynamic mosaic of paced-up fragments, polychromatic ambiences and that signature in-your-face punch wrapped in a post-apocalyptic cinematic envelope. Steel yourself for liftoff.
