NEO REGIONAL TECHNO SESSIONS - INSTRUMENTAL DJ

Ghost Town FM

Support here: https://mutual-rytm.bandcamp.com/album/sweet-dreams

Iconic Icelandic techno mainstay Exos returns to Mutual Rytm with his fifth LP, ‘Sweet Dreams’. The 12-track record is the first album on SHDW's influential label and explores the past, present, and future of techno.

Planet X label head and 20-year scene veteran Exos, hailing from Iceland, draws on his native country's influences in his work, which explores the interplay between light and dark, warmth and cold. His high-octane sounds over the last 20 years have appeared on vital imprints like Tresor, X/OZ, and, of course, Mutual Rytm, with his releases for the label having been extremely well received, garnering support from the scene’s key DJs. Whether dubby or hard, his techno is always authentic and channels the purity of the 90s style. This new album follows Exos’s inaugural X- Release, the Infrared 10", the Icebreaker 12" from last year, and his track on the latest Federation of Rytm IV compilation. It's a real journey through all facets of his sound, including a trip back to his dub techno roots, ambient explorations, and emotional vocal pieces with lifelong memories fused into sounds that reflect the artist’s decades spent in Iceland.

‘Sweet Dreams’ opens with an atmospheric intro in the form of a 28-year-old collaboration with his father. This full- bodied analogue ambient piece is rich with the mysterious tones of the Nord Modular and was recorded during their shared studio days at D17 in Reykjavík. The title track is a hypnotic, linear groove with icy synth modulations and glistening melodies. 'Hinn Víðförli' then brings dub warmth while 'State of Mind' recalls the spirit of the legendary Reykjavík club 'Thomsen', a cornerstone of Iceland’s late 90s underground scene. 'Glaður og Reifur' and 'Fögur er hlíðin'pay homage to the echoes of ancient Viking heritage, 'North of January' conveys the cold of Exos's homeland, and 'Hvarvetna' brings textured percussion and darker undertones before '101 After Dark' slows to a bass-heavy broken beat exploration of texture and post-dubstep pressure.

After the heady and atmospheric sound of 'The Dolphin Oracle', another key collaboration comes with 'Freefall', an emotional breakbeat piece featuring vocalist Amelia Rodriguez,' who also lends her voice to 'Shock', a magnificent track that channels Exos’s modern techno energy. The album closes with a haunting paradox, 'Paradise Lost,' questioning whether our sweet dreams are truly moments of bliss or simply reflections of what we’ve already left behind. The three bonus digital cuts offer sleek minimalism, punchy deep techno, and suspenseful ambient.

HER 他 Transmission 036: Ne/Re/A

Responsible for an array of choice slabs on the likes of Clone Basement and Dub Series, MDR, Answer Code Request Rec., TRIP and his own imprint SHUT, Canadian-born / Berlin-based DJ and producer Ryan James Ford has been trading extra-solid 4x4 wares for the past half decade with a consistency one can only marvel at. Cross-pollinating strains of dub, industrial, atmospheric techno and more abstract rhythmic forms, RJF keeps on expanding techno’s faux-dogmatic firepower towards broader, open-source horizons, all the while breathing fresh air across a scene too often inclined to rest upon its stagnant bed of hard-earned laurels.

XX LAB avec François X - 07 Janvier 2021

Kick-off the series in 2021 with a very special guest from Italy. Label owner, photographer and exceptional sound explorer Alessandro Russo. Son of an artist, he approached to music at young age. Over the years he played and released under varius pseudonyms, but in 2015 he defined his artistic personality with an unique alias: Evod.

The highlights of his career are his debut at Tresor and having shared a stage with Jeff Mills, his idol and source of inspiration. Evod recently released "Fonderia LP" on Oscar Mulero's Warm Up Recordings. He had also published on Singular Records, Float Records and his own platform Evod Music co-founded with Oisel.

His mainly vinyl sets are charachterized by pounding and deep sonorities, influenced by ambient sounds as well as showing the spirit of Detroit techno in his groove based track selection.

DECENNIUM18 - Ritzi Lee (MORD, 47, Underground Liberation)

The 18th edition of our DECENNIUM series comes courtesy of one of the long-standing greats of the underground Techno world; Ritzi Lee (MORD, 47, Underground Liberation).

Ritzi has been playing and creating Techno for over 22 years. Hailing from Amsterdam, where he cemented his reputable status in the underground scene as a DJ, he began producing and releasing his quality brand of Techno and eventually launched his own label Underground Liberation, which kick-started his journey internationally. He was omnipresent throughout the 00's, playing the largest festivals, performing at Awakenings, doing club gigs, supporting DJ's like Jeff Mills and Ben Sims, playing ADE on Dave Clarke’s night, gaining fans everywhere and a solid reputation which he has kept until today.

Ritzi is an artist who is not afraid to go back to the source, getting inspiration from Detroit to Tresor, while always renewing and fine-tuning his music. As well as via his own label, his renowned productions have led to consistent releases on some of the most respected labels across the globe including MORD, 47 and Ben Sims' Theory Recordings.

It is a massive honour to have Ritzi on our DECENNIUM series. We hope you enjoy his ferocious mix which delves into the old as well as the new, and was recorded exclusively for Natural Selection.
