#15

Artist: Giacomo Pellegrino [Detroit Side / Greyscale / Ohm Series / Mixcult / spclnch / Ausblick]

We are proud to present another musical frontier. This time we turn our attention to the Italian Dj, producer and head of the Detroit Side Label - Giacomo Pellegrino.   

Giacomo began his musical journey aged 14 when he learned how to DJ. Growing up he listened to a lot of disco and funk and all kinds of 70s and 80s dance music. He often arranged shows and sets for his friends until he was old enough to play at clubs. As his music knowledge and tastes developed he eventually moved into the realms of House and Techno.  

  In much the same way as ourselves, Giacomo has a huge affinity for all things Detroit and in particular , Detroit Techno. Hence the birth of his own label - Detroit Side. A Vinyl only label which he carefully curates and is home to the likes of Delano Smith, Franck Roger, Nick Beringer, S.A.M and of course Giacomo Himself.   

As a producer , Giacomo is someone we’ve been big fans of since we discovered his music, which features regularly in our mixes and radio shows. Through his productions, which are almost solely created using a variety of hardware, he showcases his extensive abilities and talents, often taking inspiration from nature as well has things from his everyday life.

For this Frontier mix, Giacomo has presented a 60 minute journey, which begin with some really deep atmospheric sounds before teasing in some super deep pulsing kicks. As the mix develops he continues to drop in ambient moments, followed by more deep rhythms and sounds.   

We are honoured to be able to host an artist like Giacomo on our platform and we look forward to seeing how his career progresses in the coming years.

Quadrant Soundscape presents In:Focus 009

For our 9th mix of the series we turn the spotlight to one of our favourite labels of the last few years, Australia's finest - Primary [colours]

Primary Colours was founded in a pub over an IPA in 2012 (The Perfect place to form a label, in our opinion) and is the brainchild of Lance Harrison and Mark Baumann, aka Echo Inspectors. 

Over the last few years the label has gone from strength to strength and really carved out a unique sound amongst the Deep and Dub Techno Community. They showcase some of the top artists from around as well as bringing to the fore some of Australia's best talents. 

As with all our In:Focus mixes the challenge is to highlight the breadth and diversity of the label in question. It is by no means a 'greatest hits' and there is so much amazing music on this label that we didn't manage to include in this mix but we urge you to check out if you haven't already.

The Quadrasphere 020 - Scavenger

We return with another very special Quadrasphere, and we welcome back our very own Wilson donning his Scavenger alias as he puts together a deep and leftfield ambient mix. With any mix that's ambient leaning, the definition of that ambience can vary from artist to artist and so its always great to experience one that has this level of creativity and originality. As always, you can hear the Quadrant Soundscape energy here, and although most of this mix includes records that you may not yet have heard played on Dub Explorations or the many mixes Wilson has put out there, they certainly would be right at home. This mix is all vinyl, and when reading his thoughts on the creation of this mix, we hope you feel like you're right there with him as he was executing it in the very classy way he has. 

Here are a few words from Scavenger

"This is a mix that I've been wanting to record for probably 6 months. It's something I started thinking about when I was re-ordering my records into the new studio. I came across a little stack of ambient oddities and after having a listen through ideas started to swirl. Some of these records have been on my shelves for 10 years or more without ever really being used in any tangible form and so I decided they needed to see the light of day.

In a way they reflect the sort of things I enjoy listening to at home, usually when it's dark and rainy, certainly moody. There's a nice mix of ambient, down-tempo, roots, Dub and even some spoken word.

I really tried to create an atmosphere through playing these records, some are pitched up , some pitched down, and some are at completely the wrong speed (or the right speed, depending on how you look at it). There's some lovely cracks and pops throughout that I feel only add to the warmth of the mix, as well as being part and parcel of playing vinyl.

This is definitely one to kick back and get horizontal to. Headphones or speakers turned up, and drift away.

I hope you enjoy"

The Quadrasphere 021 - Julius

The next mix in theQuadrasphere series comes from Dutch DJ and record collector - Julius. We have been aware of Julius' movements In the scene for a few years now with mixes across the big hitters of the podcast world. We were particularly impressed by his offering to our friends over at Stately Records, and so when offer the chance to release a mix of his we jumped.

Here are a few words from Julius - 

" This mix was recording last month during ADE, and contains a few records I bought at ‘Killacutz’. I wanted to make a recording that was quite easy-going but as the mix developed it ended up quite powerful. The mix is mostly vinyl only but doe contain a few digital tracks as well. It begins with some dubby tunes and moves into a few minimal tracks before ending with some beautiful Dub Techno. I tried to use a lot of tracks with heavy baselines and punchy kicks.  "
