Je n'avais pas le temps, mais je l'ai pris !
Au final après 2h de session, j'ai ENFIN testé l'enregistrement multipistes et essayé d'avoir un meilleur rendu.
J'ai l'impression que cette nouvelle façon de faire nivelle tous les gains vers le bas, mais je verrais pour une autre fois, mais quand ???
Aussi, avec un peu plus de temps, j'aurais sûrement relancé 1 ou 2 autres enregistrements, histoire de régler la cacophonie ambiante de fin de morceau, mais comme d'hab... non :)
Sinon je n'ai pas utilisé de disquettes ou d'imprimante à rubans pour ce morceau, comprenne qui pourra 😆

I had no time, but I took it!
In the end, after a 2 hour session, I FINALLY tested the multitrack recording and tried to get a better result.
I feel like this new way of doing things is leveling all the gains down, but I'll see for another time, but when???
Also, with a little more time, I would surely have relaunched 1 or 2 other recordings, just to sort out the cacophony at the end of the song, but as usual, no :)
Otherwise, I didn't use floppy disks or a ribbon printer for this piece, understand who can 😉

Hesitation

Une session qui a failli ne pas voir le jour, avec certaines machines qui n'avaient plus envie de bosser xD
Sinon un morceau plus "sage", avec lequel j'ai surtout avancé sur la vidéo. Mais il me manque encore les transitions automatiques, ce qui me permettrait de me concentrer sur la musique plutôt que de changer des scènes.
Au casting : Keystep Pro à la baguette, Drumbrute Impact aux boums tchaks, JD-08 aux leads et aux pads, Volca FM à la basse, J-6 passait par là et fdude au chant (aidé par le vocoder du Microfreak).

A session that almost didn't see the light, with some machines no longer wanting to work xD
Otherwise a "wiser" track, with which I mainly advanced on the video. But I still miss the automatic transitions, which would allow me to focus on the music rather than changing scenes.
Cast: Keystep Pro as conductor, Drumbrute on drums, JD-08 on leads and pads, Volca FM on bass, J-6 was passing by and fdude on vocals (aided by the Microfreak's vocoder).

CONNÆKT. x SAYTEK LIVE @ FLUCC, 18.06.2025 // Kay Barton

This session came out of the unexpected.

No script. No structure. No idea what was coming next. Just a raw, improvised B2B — all ears, no plan — where every track was a reply to the one before.

Recorded live. No sync. No quantize. Just straight from the hands.

Basement Pulse – An Impro B2B captures the rhythm of an imaginary basement: breakbeat, UK house, pressure, glitches, distortion and grit.

Not perfect. Just real.
Raw. All ears. No plan.

[Recorded live at Playroom Studio]

-----------------------

Esta sesión nace de lo inesperado.

Sin guión, sin estructura, sin saber qué iba a sonar después. Solo un B2B improvisado, de oído, donde cada track fue respuesta al anterior. Grabado en directo, sin sync ni cuantización, tal como salía de las manos.

Basement Pulse – An Impro B2B recoge el pulso de un sótano imaginario: breakbeat, UK house, tensión rítmica, glitches, distorsión y crudeza.

No es perfecta. Es real.
Raw. All ears. No plan.

Passionné de musique, je me suis dit, pendant le confinement, qu'il serait marrant d'essayer de créer un morceau en 4h, sans pc, en 1 prise et sans connaissance musicale.
---
Music fanatic, I thought, during the lockdown, it would be fun to try and create a song in 4 hours, dawless, 1 take and with no musical knowledge.

🎹 After 27 years away, I returned to music for the pure joy of creating.
In solidarity with artists, I have removed all generative AI from my work, keeping every note authentic and played by hand.
A legacy of passion, integrity, and respect for the art.

Of Least Concern’s, 2nd project for yas entitled; ‘Help Me Hide

Weird kid.
Music for the ones in the backseat with their head on the glass, watching the world slide by.

Hey, I make music ‘cause I don’t really know what else to do. It’s how I keep my brain from eating itself, and maybe it helps somebody else feel less alone too.

Soulful loops. Broken thoughts. Bouncy sadness.
You bring the snacks, I’ll bring the soundtrack.

If you’re reading this, big love 🫶 I hope your day’s got at least one hazy little banger waiting for you.
Stay weird.
<3 YnE

Kay Barton, originally from northern Germany, developed a passion for electronic music at a young age and taught himself the basics using simple DOS software. 

After relocating to the Heidelberg area in 1997, Kay delved into the world of DJing. Throughout the years, he has performed at renowned clubs and festivals both nationally and internationally. Additionally, he has played for various German and Austrian radio stations. Setting himself apart as not just a DJ but also an event organiser, Kay has curated electronic music events in the Rhine-Main area, with the popular 'The Place To Be' series being a notable example.

He initially experimented with different artist names and musical styles. However, in 2016, he made a deliberate shift towards pure techno music while using his real name. That same year, he made his debut with the release of his single 'Return 01' on the Belgian record label Bonzai, followed by remixes on Emerald & Doreen Records. Notably, his EP 'MacroGod' was released in 2019, featuring remixes by Dr Motte and Mijk van Dijk. Kay released music on various record labels, including Neuhain and Ballroom in Berlin, before finally signing with Trapez Records (Traum Schallplatten) in Cologne in 2020. In 2021, he moved to Vienna, Austria and continued to make a name for himself, releasing his first EP on IAMT, Spain in 2022, and collaborating with renowned artists like Tom Wax, Ross Harper, Mijk van Dijk and Tomorrowland artist YULI ANA.

In addition to his DJ and producing work, Kay also ventured into radio hosting. From 2020 to 2024, he has been hosting two monthly house and techno mix shows called 'Wiener Wohnzimmer' (formerly known as
'Heidelberger Wohnzimmer') and 'Sophisticated Rhythms' on Evosonic Radio, Germany's first station dedicated solely to electronic music. 

In 2023 along with his wife Evi he established the event platform 'TRENDWÆNDE'. They organised the “Save The Planet” float at the Rave The Planet Parade in Berlin, collaborating with three promoters and label operators.
The following year, TRENDWÆNDE organised several techno events in Vienna and Berlin, including a collaboration with Ukraine's largest rave series, Laboratorium, for the “Play Techno - Stop Wars” float at the Rave The Planet Parade. Shortly afterwards, ‘CONNÆKT.’ was launched, a new, regular event series organised by TRENDWÆNDE, in which they bring together local and international representatives of sophisticated techno, such as the internationally renowned techno artists Alan Oldham (DJ T-1000, BPitch/Tresor), BB Deng (Ego Riot Rec.) or SAYTEK LIVE (Awesome Soundwave, Cod3 QR, Raw Industries Berlin).
