OYE Podcast #3 Finn Johannsen

Impérieux - Rezil

Impérieux (aka Alper Durmush) is a beatmaker extraordinaire hailing from Kırcaali / Kardjali: since antiquity a hub of mythical music, located at the crossroads of Bulgaria, Turkey and Greece.

Rezil is his stunning debut album, built on the ground cleared by his head-turning earlier releases for KiNK's Sofia Records and DJ Koze's Pampa. Its effortlessly mesmerizing 10 tracks consolidate the outlines of forward-leaning club music. Experimentation is a well-established facet of Impérieux’ approach to the adventurous techno (left)field, but more than ever on Rezil he seizes the opportunity to thrill with holistically captivating hooks, bass lines and rolling rhythms: A culmination of several years of exploration and refinement. Unpredictability lies at the heart of all this music, bound together by a consistent modernist glint.

From the warped wobble of Sword Fight to the unhinged dairé excess of Imana, from the drunken Casio bliss of Rezil to the hopeful euphoria of Young: a triumph.

PREMIERE : Impérieux - Objectify

THIS highly recommended Electro club-mix UNDER THE SpyInTheHouse RADAR, broadcasted via Cologne's own 674FM, and still supported by Psycho Thrill Cologne 🔴 feat. Berlin's incredible ELECTRO-fying PALOMA resident Finn Johannsen (POWER HOUSE / Paloma BLN)‼️

It's not often that I play/listen to a DJ mix "on heavy rotation" multiple times, and over several days at a time. However, Finn Johannsen's mix here is one of those lucky cases or breaks that the electronic music deejay genre doesn't offer every day. To summarize briefly, Johannsen is precisely that relevant subject matter expert who masterfully illuminates the 808 bass genre, usually framed by Kraftwerk and Detroit Electro/TechnoBass/Hi-TechFunk, in his own more "cutting-edge" way, with Drum-N-Bass/Breaks, Jit, GhettoTech, and plenty of classic Disco, Funk, and Pop cues. Not many can do this in that way! 

And added to that - you can hear it immediately - this offers tons of passion for the subject, meticulous track knowledge, and an equally credible sense of mission, which, given the intensive engagement with the subject itself (right down to the complete track listing), and the resulting loss of personal life, sleep, and energy, which is usually never sufficiently acknowledged. But that honors the creator of this mix all the more, who originally recorded this one for the Sea/Side Crew in Helsinki. Johannsen then immediately sets things straight, even in terms of genre diversity, with a quote that is both sympathetically understandable: "A(nother) reason was that I was working at Hard Wax then and often overheard people in the store disrespecting the genre, mostly because they claimed the sound palette of Electro was too limited to really matter in terms of musicianship. I did not agree with that." 

Which, at this point and with this mix, simply as FU**, brings it to a self-explanatory, significant, unfortunately otherwise overused point. The rest is called merely "Highly Recommended," starting with Detroit's own DJ Dez Andres' beautiful "The Sweetest Pain" and culminating in the crowning finale after over three hours of mixing with a fantastic, Jit-Beat-laden "My Life My Passion" edit of Joe Jackson's great Synth-Pop classic "Steppin Out"! I'm sure I'm not the only one crying tears of gratitude. Thank you, Finn, for this!  (Claus Bachor / SITH)

INFO: Claus Bachor, DJ, label owner, music journalist, producer and promoter, has been an often noted and repeated name on various playing fields for the last 40 years. In the truest sense of the word, an aficionado of electronic music who has encountered the ups and downs of the scene’s business; enough to meet things with composure and foresight …

With "SpyInTheHouse" he now returns after 10 years into the “radio business” on a regular basis, where he had been mediating the essentials of electronic music for years between the Techno/House main cities such as Detroit, Chicago or Berlin via "Evosonic" (1997 - 1999) and Cosmium Radio (1999 - 2002). Something that currently wasn’t that easy.

So "SpyInTheHouse" continues to follow the path of enthusiastic overtones and stands simply for the democracy of the so-called "cutting edge" tracks of House, Techno, Acid, Broken Beat and IDM that do sometimes leave the usual club microcosm according to the motto "Take the best from the past and move the next step 4ward into the future!"

Gonna keep this one around a while. Play it, download it, DANCE, GROOVE! This is how SITH does it! Mad love for your support!

"Während der musikalische Fokus von OYE in den frühen Zweitausendern besonders auf Latin und Brazilian Music lag, hat sich der Laden mit seinen beiden Filialen in Kreuzberg und im Prenzlauer Berg in der folgenden Zeit zu einer der wichtigsten Anlaufstellen für House, Techno, Disco und Artverwandtes entwickelt. Und OYE verkauft längst nicht nur Platten. Diverse eigene Labels wurden aus dem Umfeld der Läden heraus gegründet. Außerdem entstand eine hauseigene Partyreihe, die sich auf Vinyl-Sets spezialisiert hat."
