Mixtape #5

_Destruct Podcast meets Codecast (@thecodecast), friends! ;) In this episode i warmly welcome one of the owners of the argentinian podcast: Lucas Desimone aka LD Hypno (@ldhypno). Lucas prepared a clubby mix, with bassy, rolling kickdrums, which transfer us straight to the dancefloor.

Some words by LD Hypno himself:
"I usually play deep immersive tunes which are composed by various influences and are the result of the evolution of this genre we love so much, the result an ever-growing culture that changed the game for so many of us.
That's why, as a celebration of this evolution and our freedom, I decided to record a more purist techno set, composed by diverse styles of clubby techno that I personally love.
I also think that an artist should always be exploring new horizons, so going for something different really felt like a good idea.

I hope you enjoy this clubby version of my musical universe".

_Destruct Podcast #025 - LD Hypno (Codecast)

In the depths of the ocean, a swiftly moving current gathers momentum, undulating towards the surface crest. In secured revolutions and maintained intensity, the roll drifts ad infinitum. Oscillating the shores of the eardrum, grazing the sands of the surface membrane, weathering the rocks of an emotional landscape, and returning to its origin with the frenzy of the audience. 

For the twelfth edition of Hjem podcast we affectionately welcome Montreal local and newly monikered queen of the rollers, No Police.  Despite a recent entrance to mixing and producing, No Police has obtained a firm grip of honest Techno composition, proving flexibility and integrity as key components to her craft. Following a parental dedication to musical curiosities and exposure of The Beatles and Punk influence, No Police conveys an aptitude for sounds that explore content and form. Skillful artists such as MRD seize her interests in soundscape configuration, pushing an initiative to create cerebral and adventurous sets for her audience.
As the pandemic has served as a gateway to furthering her ambitions in production and mixing, No Police considers support to peers, including Osccurate, Faster Horses, Artisan, Quinten McKee, Luap, Eyerate, and Romensdawn, as essential in her growth. In addition to this, No Police holds a SPACES residency with vinyl techno artist SASS.& through local Montreal live Techno station La Face B. While No Police typically sways toward entrancing, unrelenting tracks known for sweating warehouse walls, a desire for inclusion and diversity within the universality of music is cultivated in her practice. In this edition for Hjem podcast, a delightful detour operating between hyper-responsive textures and diligent kicks in a passionately hypnotic set is offered to our audience.  Please welcome No Police.

TM8 Q: Favourite song to play as a closer?
A: "My closing track is always some that gives another dimension to my set, can be something with a funny vocal, or a complete different genre. Fav closer is Ballroom - Passenger (Marc O’Tool Remix)"

Vinyl-only slayer @laurecroft pushing us through to the other side of 2021. Mixing tribal, rave moods, and with a bias for the archives of 90s- to mid 00s, Laure punctuates with buoyant 4x4 - sucking us into her hi-hat heavy world. The multi-faceted Dutch artist’s new but burgeoning Technics romance beams through this raw, timeless mix that takes a fresh form at her hands. Feels like a love meant to be for Laure and her Technics.

TFR GUEST MIX by  SUB TERRA

Filling February with fire. Coming in hot with a full vinyl set is the Berlin-based, Dutch-born: Laure Croft (@laurecroft).

See her play a fresh b2b with Lacchesi (@lorenzolacchesi) at Intercell Indoor 2023 in Amsterdam on 24.02 next week. Info & tickets at www.intercell.events/events

This vinyl-only mix by Laure will bring you in the mood to party or spice up your afterparty. It’s a mix of primarily old-school techno and some newer releases. As we know her sound to be fast, trippy and sexy, she definitely did not fail to deliver that sound in this set too. 

Living by the mantra ‘keep it sexy’. Her intention when she takes to the decks is to initiate the liberation that comes from the most powerful dance floor experiences when clothes come off and the energy reaches a fever pitch. Her sound is a constant rush of high-intensity techno spanning the mid-90s to the mid-00s, mixed with the tactile, precarious thrill of vinyl. Continually digging for the tracks which fit her particular creative vision, she holds true to techno’s inherent futurism by creating something new and ever-evolving from the music she plays–pulling together the pieces of the puzzle from decades of techno culture carved into a near-infinite pool of uptempo, forward-facing machine music.

Enjoy the listen.

Berlin-based artist Softmatter shares a dynamic mix for us this week. Anna Pavlova, aka Softmatter, is a DJ, producer, multidisciplinary artist and vocalist whose output is characterised by twisted and distorted electronics, heavy-hitting drumwork and mutant vocal samples. With a keen interest in post-human theory, neuroscience and quantum physics; her musical practice explores the fluidity and uncertainty of experience and perception. In Anna’s own words, “When I begin the creative process without expectations and embracing uncertainty, I get results that represent me the most.”

TM8 Q: What's your favourite word?
A: "Furby - they are soft, brightly coloured, gender fluid and nostalgic. They also look great with sunglasses and are very stylish. Within each Furby I have, is a little piece of myself."

✦•······················•✦•······················•✦

UK-born, Amsterdam-based writer and DJ LNR has recorded a FLINTA-focused mix for us. Inspired by the collective dialogue between her journalistic research surrounding dance music history and her obsession with collecting old-school vinyl, the multi-disciplined artist translates pen to wax by creating journeys centred around fluid iterations of sound system culture. Exploring refractions of music in the hardcore and psychedelic spectrums and integrating technological rawness with dissociative coils, LNR has played alongside 90s legends like 69db from Spiral Tribe, Eat Static, Felix K, μ-Ziq, and Scion, and has DJ'd in Amsterdam's Garage 
Noord and for Belgium's free party collective, V23. 

In this mix, however, LNR has ditched her usual vinyl-only format to highlight a talented array of FLINTA artists, including music from the feminist freetekno collective Witchcraft rec, and producers Nkisi, Azu Tiwaline, Saskia, DJ Sofa, c00, gi, Laura STZ, Freeman 713, Kan10, DJ Spice, and Liza N Eliaz. The latter was the earliest trans woman in hardcore, according to LNR's research. "She co-produced the first ever Bonzai record before Jones & Stephenson's 'The First Rebirth' came out and made the label go crazy," LNR told us. "Sadly she died in 2001 but it felt important to me to include her music in this mix. Shout out to other old-school female techno, hardcore, and jungle legends who didn't make the mix this time: Ixindamix, Laura Grabb, Miss Djax, Kemistry & Storm, and DJ Rap."

TM8 Q: Best music video??
A: "favourites is so hard i think, i can never choose just one hehe. but i think all of FKA Twigs videos are amazing. and Shakira also has some iconic videos, especially She Wolf is great. and ofc Telephone by Lady Gaga and Beyonce!!"

✦•······················•✦•······················•✦

Composer, producer, and DJ dragongirl has recorded a mix for us featuring some of her own tracks too. Having released her critically acclaimed debut album 'hot blue' on the Norwegian label Sheep Chase Records in 2023, dragongirl has since brought her vibrant sound to some of Northern Europe's most well-known clubs and festivals including Denmark's Den Anden Side, Berlin's OST and OXI, and Kaleido Festival. Her sets blend trance, techno and happy hardcore with influences from Eurodance, gabber and EDM, inviting her audience on a playful and unexpected adventure. And that's exactly what dragongirl mirrors in this week's mix.

TM8 Q: Take us on a date. Where would you bring us and why?
A: "To a Lana Del Rey concert for sure, I would defo fall in love if we kiss under her blessing"

✦•······················•✦•······················•✦

Uruguayan DJ and producer YOZY supplies a shape-shifting mix for us, oscillating between experimental and broken rhythms to 4/4 techno and irresistible trance classics. The Barcelona-based artist also includes tracks from her upcoming album, dropping June 5th. Having released several contributions to VAs on Clan Destine Records, low income $quad, and Last Love Records, they have also delivered music to Human Club; a label based in Barcelona's Razzmatazz, where they are a resident DJ and run their own party CALIENTE. Additionally, YOZY has played for parties and festivals like Boiler Room x Primavera Sound, Raiders, Suicide Club, Voight-Kampff, Latineo, and many more. Plus, their monthly radio show on HKCR called 'Messages from the stars' has recently transformed into an IRL ambient showcase.

TM8 Q: Track to wake up a tired dancefloor? 
A: "Dual Monitor - Seoul City Drift"

✦•······················•✦•······················•✦

Chilean DJ and artist puxo shares a mix of deconstructed and club-ready sounds with us this week. The Barcelona-based talent leans into Latin rhythms, choppy percussion, and emotional textures across their sets, creating a mood that blurs the lines between rhythmic intensity and sonic experimentation. Having established their profile within the Barcelona scene by playing parties like Latineo, MUSA, Deprerreo, and No Tags, puxo has since released an ambient EP as a parallel exploration to their artistic output, revealing a more introspective side of their sound.

EVERYTHING YOU CREATE, YOU USE TO DESTORY

Larix – a DJ, producer and the owner of the Brainwash label. On the scene for more than a decade. He has already developed his own recognizable style. Drawing from industrial, dark and often broken sounds of techno, Larix's sets are dynamic, consistent and at the same time very surprising. He played on the most important events in Poland. Since 2016 the resident of one of the best Warsaw clubs Luzztro. He also had an opportunity to perform abroad, for example twice in Tresor Berlin - the cradle of techno. 

After several years of DJing he decided to learn how to produce his own music. His works were released among others by: ARTS, Leisure System, Sombra, Nashton Records, Counter Pulse, De-Konstrukt, Achromatiq, Phobiq and his own label Brainwash. In 2011, he took part in a competition for a remix of Plastikman, where he was recognized by Richie Hawtin and became one of the five finalists. His remix was issued under the M_nus label. 

In 2013 Larix created his own label called Brainwash where his own tracks are released on vinyls. The label is highly appreciated and the tracks are played by the most recognized DJ artists in the
world.

KRAKTI KULTURU

This means ‘Powerful Culture’ in Sranan Tongo which is the native Surinamese language. This title says everything about my approach to this mix, as i've recorded it with a closing state of mind. I truly believe that even when playing a bit more direct and faster the essential of groove and rhythm should always be the key element and should never fade away for the sake of just banging out hard tracks. This mix is recorded at 144-146 BPM which is the fastest i’ve played in my podcasts so far. Dedicated to all the people that has supported me heavy throughout this year. You are all being heard and i appreciate all of you guys.
