Bring Down The Walls with Lakuti & Hillegonda Rietveld - Quando Quango 29/08/2021

Originally hailing from Mzansi, South Africa and firmly rooted in Manchester, DJ and producer Levi Love has become a prominent figure within the Northern city's music scene.

For over nine years he's been a resident at one of Manchester's finest music establishments, SOUP Kitchen, where he's strengthened his passion for fusing global and Euro-centric sounds. Like his selections, his own musical output is guided by these two loves; releases which form the backbone of his own label Mas O Menos, founded as a platform for cultural and musical exchanges between the UK and South-Africa.

Ahead of his appearance at Audio Farm Festival this weekend, he puts together a mix that paints a picture of the flourishing South African underground scene, showcasing music from solely South African producers, including a couple of his own tracks.

Levi Love: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

Adventure Society a.k.a Gedas Mekšriūnas is a music producer from Lithuania and one half of the Far East Flight duo that recently released an album on Electric Shapes. Having lived in multiple European countries throughout the years, he was influenced by the multi-cultural vibes of the UK and the harsh primal energy of Iceland. He is not a lover of putting things in the box, however, he described his sound as ''music for space exploration". This humble Sci-fi fan promises many records to come out in the following years.

Super stoked to have a cosmic legend on the show: Ed Rodion aka @rodion_gomma! In case you do not know him: he is the epitome for everything this DJ mix series is about: "Rodion makes extremely emotional freaked out electronic music that’s ahead of its time. Somewhere between the depths of cosmic music and synthesized funk, mixed with the dramatic melodies of Italian horror movies. Heavily influenced by soundtrack composers such as Morricone and Goblin, by the Japanese science fiction animation soundtracks of the 70’s and by classical music and balearic club culture, Rodion is fully tuned into the extraterrestrial beat."

RODION: SPÆCIAL MIX 228

Next special space journey comes from legendary podcast & DJ mix series @counterterraism!

COUNTERTERRAISM: SPÆCIAL MIX 229

Junction 2 Mix Series 030 - Cromby

It’s always exciting when a DJ rips up the rulebook. Emerging from the Copenhagen underground is Prom Night, real name Shaq. He’s been touted as a bit of an upcoming gem as he blurs the lines between sleazy disco cuts and chuggers, italo house, afro-house and funk and beyond.

Originally from Aarhus he first began DJ’ing at just nine years old and describes his sound as being heavily influenced by 80’s pop culture hence the name. He reflects on his roots and recent embarkment into the world of music production:
 
“A lot of my productions are inspired by/ centered around a fusion of 70’s and 80’s Disco combined with modern and contemporary styles of House music.”

When we invited him to record this mixtape we weren’t entirely sure what we were going to get. What we’ve ended up is a spectacular showcase of Prom Night’s ability as a selector capable of switching quickly between genres and pushing the limitations. This one is a fun filled affair perfect for the weekend…

Prom Night: The Ransom Note Mix

Seoul's Closet Yi is trying to find the harmony in the places where you'd least expect it.

Having cut her teeth at the Hyundai Card Music Library where she played librarian and resident DJ for two years, Closet Yi looks past genre in her music, favouring instead the creation of unique atmospheres and feelings.

Her crisp productions have so far found a home at Seoul's Honey Badger Records and London imprints No Bad Days & all my thoughts, with her most recent releases being singles anticipating her forthcoming EP.

When it drops in its entirety on the 27th April, 'Bmore Baby' will mark the inauguration of record label 'Curving Track', and constitute four luscious tracks with deeply satisfying, smooth-to-the-touch textures and warm, inviting tones. Expect raspy percussion and deep, full-bodied bass lines.

Her Shine A Light On mix continues in this textural exploration, transporting its listener to another cosmos where everything points to a future time apart from those few nostalgic elements that keep you grounded in familiarity.

Closet Yi: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

Start from within.  Listen to the internal dialogue, vocabulary, feelings, impressions, associations, emotions, visualization and creative thoughts that are happening within you.

A compilation of Silent Records tracks mixed in one track recording in 1994.

Ambient is about cutting edge, flat structures, encompassing structures, nuturing structures.  Ambient culture is about developing what’s within you.  The main focus is developmental, more than achievement, it’s more process oriented towards spiritual and technological concerns or interests.  It’s an inward thing, but it’s down through technology.  Developing a look with a Macintosh, or developing your sound with certain midi gear, so it isn’t like sitting in a cave playing the shakahatchi or anything.  It can be that simple and encompass that, but it isn’t mostly about organic qualities.  It’s about organic and technological qualities.  – Kim Cascone

Mark Riva's Metagrooves - The Silent Mix

In Resom's own words: "The crew of De School took over ://about blank last summer and this mix here is the recording of my closing set at the most beautiful garden of ://about blank. I was overexcited, jittery and had this crazy idea to create a acoustic movie for the audience. I was performing in London the weeks before and went to an MVE where they played the soundtrack of a german 70’s Science Fiction TV series I never heard about before. It was so feminist and progressive that I decided in that moment that I have to use the samples. That’s where the citations are coming from sometimes. The reason to use those was bc I think that ://about blank and De School have a lot in common when it is about forward thinking curating and pushing debates. Of course there are mistakes being made, but again: I personally find this even more interesting, because it gives the chance to reflect, process and learn."
