techno

"If you're listening to this at home you should start with a healthy dose of energy drinks because going into this cold may be too much."

D'Marc Cantu has been orbiting our ears for a while now. 

"Slow building, spacey jackin’ techno tracks with some nice squelchy acid lines. Fans of Basic Soul Unit would approve."  

We think he's a lot more than that but it's good jumping off point to get yourself started in the world of Mr D'Cantu. 

It was with some excitement then, when he agreed to lay down his Ransom Note mix for us. 

"I'm D’marc Cantu, I've been producing dance music in various forms for over a decade now. I reside in Ann Arbor MI, which as anyone familiar with this area should know has a rich musical history, from Iggy pop to Andrew WK and many more."

"I want to make sure if it's cool that its going to be a live set of mine? All original and what not, just not a lot of released tracks in there." We weren't really going to argue with that. 

So here it is in all it's 130BPM glory. Go let your ears enjoy...

D'Marc Cantu - The Ransom Note Live @ 130BPM Mix

Astro Lab, Relish, La Belle, La Dame Noir or Emerald & Doreen are some of the labels you can find his music on, so only that gives you an idea of what this great french producer has been up to lately.

Dirty, strong, personality, filthy, unique are some of the words that come to our mind when we think about Fkclub's music.
Always synonymous of quality and the kind of producer you're always looking forward to his next job.

It's been a great pleasure for us to have him on our show at Rinoceronte fm Radio and to be able of sharing this great mix with you all.

We will also have the enormous pleasure of having a remix of him included on one of the forthcoming releases in Play Pal and also before the year ends, he'll be releasing an LP on Astro Lab called 'Illuminati' and a new project alongside label boss Laurent Pastor, called 'La Decadence'.

Enjoy the mix!

Play Pal Mix 009: Fkclub (Relish/Astro Lab / FR)

Keeping this one close to home, the latest mix release features https://soundcloud.com/lau's partner in crime and the other half of La Decadanse, Marc Lapeyre aka https://soundcloud.com/fkclub.

In our opinion, the Marseille-based producer is one of the most talented out there at the moment, producing music for both movies and commercials with his new EP set to be released on 26th March on Astro Lab Recordings, complete with a https://soundcloud.com/pski remix.

For Viscera 134, Alex Conrad takes control.

"Playing as The Mongolian Disco Show, hosting The Enchanted Dancehall and  as one half of Love Love Love, DJing has always been about hunting for new sounds and creating experiences on the dancefloor. Forever scouring the far corners of the globe for music from drifting ambience to the funkiest funk and rubberiest of basslines; digging through dusty crates of disco and diving into the Death Star’s trash compactor to rescue elusive machine funk; music is the real story. Records of all shapes and sizes are treasured and, forever feeling the pull of the record store, vinyl remains the chosen format. If you can’t understand the blues until you’ve had your heart broken, you’ll need to spend a night dancing through space and time to a funky bass line to get to know this DJ."

In the words of Alex: "As far as committing mixes to tape,  CD, or digital files goes, I’m hardly prolific. This goes back to my early days of hearing DJs play, and only having memories of these experiences. The time, the place, the moment - all being part of the music played - something hard to capture in a recording. 

Although not all these tracks are old, I wanted to put something together that brought back some of the feeling of those parties. Some familiar elements, some maybe unheard, some twists and turns along the way as a night starts out and builds before the inevitable sunrise. 

There’s no particular genre other than music I associate with great DJs I’ve heard along the way. Those memories of hearing the music break the silence and starting a journey to the pulsating electronic sounds, made by machines, that move a dancefloor in the middle of the night, and finally, the drift as dawn leads you into a new day and another moment made falls into memory."

Enjoy!
