Fact Mix 871: MOBBS (Aug '22)

Berlin-based Ukrainian DJ and producer MIURA steps up for the next Lobster Theremin mix with an hour of groove-heavy house, acid and groove-heavy old school sounds.

Having worked as creative director and booker for the Kyiv venue duo Vognyk Bar/Arsenal XXII, MIURA transposed her life to Berlin following the devastating Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Now working on music full time, and with a scintillating HÖR radio set under her belt, here she presents the essence and beauty of her sound as a selector and DJ. A one hour expression of pure love and a story of inner feelings.

Crown Ruler Mix #25 - Ben Fester B2B Cousin.

We’ve got another mix for you snatched from the wild - this time from iconic brothers @ben-fester and @secondcousins. Recorded at our open-air party co-presented with @planettrip earlier this year, the siblings warmed up for maestro @floatingpoints in the breeze of twilight, where they proved themselves as well-seasoned DJ’s no longer necessitating introduction. 

Sink into this mix of trippy downtempo, percussive electro and cherished vocal house from two masters of their craft. 

Illustration by Ben Keynes.

This mix was recorded on the stolen lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. We acknowledge their Elders past and present, and recognise efforts in the ongoing resistance against colonialism. Always Was, Always Will Be.

Crown Ruler Mix #25 - Ben Fester B2B Cousin

CHIDA自九十年初期成為東京地下House music界的先峰，除了DJ身份外，他也是一位德高重望的製作人，自2009年開始營運廠牌Ene Records。二十年的DJ的生涯，Chida既是面向世界，又是整個House和Techno新浪潮中的依然屹立不倒的人物。

 與Masters at Work、Strictly Rhythm和Nuyorican Soul等等傳奇音樂單位關係密切，多次同台演出，Chida都從中學習。在家鄉他以超過十二小時的馬拉松DJ set為人知悉。2009年開始營運個人廠牌Ene Records，為地下House music界注入新力量，分別有Prins Thomas、Eddie C、Man Power、Tiago、Lord of The Isles及日本本地音樂人如The Backwoods、Cos Mes和Sly Mongoose均在Ene Records旗下推出作品。

 他在ESP Institute千喚萬喚之下推出首張十二吋作品「Danca」後，他終於百忙之中製作更多個人作品，包括原創歌曲和不同的混音作品，都收歸於Ene Records旗下。

 在各DJ包括Eric “Dr Dunks” Duncan、The Idjut Boys、Lindstrom、Mak E、Justin Vandervolgan、 Andrew Weatherall、Soft Rocks、Discodromo等人都讚口不絕，Chida是名符其實DJ中的DJ。 在這個音樂製作地位高於DJ手藝的世代，單憑DJ身份就在國際舞台上大放異彩，Chida絕對是一個異數。

CHIDA has been a pioneer of the Tokyo underground house music scene from early 90s. Influential DJs playing around the world, he is also a very respected producer and run the label Ene Records since 2009. 
 
 Revered after more than 20 years as one of the most respected DJs in Tokyo, Chida is front and centre in the exciting new wave of House and Techno DJs who are now finding fame around the world.
 
 Learning his craft playing alongside legends like Masters at Work, and at Strictly Rhythm and Nuyorican Soul Label Parties, Chida is famed in his home country for his marathon sets which have been known to last well in excess of 12 hours.

 Since 2009 Chida has been running his label “Ene”, one of the most respected underground imprints amongst true house music aficionados, boasting a list of contributors including Prins Thomas, Eddie C, Man Power, Tiago, Lord of The Isles and homegrown Japanese talent such as The Backwoods, Cos Mes, and Sly Mongoose.
  
 Finally, after so much anticipation following his much sought after debut 12”, Danca, on ESP Institute, Chida is finally about to release more music, with originals and remixes due on both his own label, and several others in 2016.
 
 Respected and even, on occasion, name-dropped by such amazing DJs as Eric “Dr Dunks” Duncan, The Idjut Boys, Lindstrom, Mak E, Justin Vandervolgan, Andrew Weatherall , Soft Rocks, Discodromo and a whole load more, Chida is truly a DJ’s DJ.

 In this modern time where music production all too often takes precedence over true DJing craftsmanship, Chida remains that rarest of phenomena, a performer who has managed to carve out a global DJIng schedule purely from the merits of his sheer skill behind the decks.

XLR8R Podcast 767: Alien Communications

Moiré is perhaps one of the most criminally underrated producers of recent times - yeah we said it. 

Around 2013 his music began to bubble within certain circles - weird, mutant off piste bass inspired music with nods to the likes of Basic Channel, tape culture and beyond. It was at times Dubby, at times Housey and at the same time never necessarily fit into any one place in particular. 

He was championed and supported by the likes of Actress and released EP's for Ninja Tune, Werk Discs, Rush Hour and many other prominent record labels.

However, in part to his mysterious persona, Moiré didn't go on to the rapturous heights expected of a musician so clearly and blatantly talented. Not one to 'play the game' so to speak Moiré was happy to let his music speak for himself without the bravado or 'bullsh*t' which often comes with an industry which revels in hype.

Instead, quietly behind the scenes, he continued to hone his craft releasing a number of records and albums on the likes of Ghostly International, Hypercolour and Spectral Sound.

His most recent release came in the form of a new album for Avenue 66 - an exploratory journey through IDM inspired sounds based upon analog modulation and circuit loops - hence the title 'Circuits'.

It was an ambitious project for a producer keen to challenge his own limitations in his use and approach to hardware and instrumentation.

The result? A killer assortment of pensive, thought provoking electronic sounds that's all too easy to get lost in.

Anyway, we invited Moiré to record a mixtape for us, we should have really asked before.

Moiré: The Ransom Note Mix

In Hour 2 we hand over to Moire, who recently released his debut album 'Shelter' on the Werkdiscs label run by Actress. It's a mix recorded and remixed live on a hardware sampler and features music from Kerri Chandler, Rongetz, Space Dimension Controller and Aphrodisiac.

Moiré Mix on Gilles Peterson Worldwide (GPWW919)

Shadowy sounds from an intriguing newcomer.

RA.429 Moire

It is still only a couple of years since Moire first emerged, but already he operates in his own distinctive sound world. It is a place his broken house and techno is murky and disorientating, ambiguous and otherworldly. So far it has come on cult labels like Spectral Sound, Ninja Tune and Actress’ Work Discs in the form of some essential EPs and an LP, and now he steps up to our mix series ahead of the arrival of his second full length on Ghostly International. 

Over the course of an hour the Londoner lays down some loose and hazy house that gets more and more rugged as the grooves unfold. It’s lo-fi but stirringly emotive stuff that ends in a place of refracted melodies and heavenly vocals that really lift you out of the real world.

Otologic NTS Radio Episode 19 'Good Morning Australia' with Otologic & Guest Siaubas

Ahead of our first ever show in Vilnius, we wanted to give our readers a little taster of everything the famed nightspot is about. Check out this mix by residents Siaubas, and a Q&A with Vidmantas, the clubs booker, below.

RA: How would you describe your music policy?

V: It’s the making of salad. Quite a special salad indeed. Some ingredients are at your hands already, some have to be imported and you also have to mind the tastes, preferences and expectations of the clientèle. It’s a delicate act of balancing things out. I try to keep the programming adventurous without going too niche and too obvious at the same time. We’re the baddest club of the country so we have to bring them Dixons and KiNKs from time to time to keep the crowd pleased and it’s self esteem high, whilst building the core of the program around cool cats like Otologic, Beau Wanzer, Multi Culti, Elena Colombi, DJ Sundae and the likes, as well as our unshakable residents of course.

RA: What makes a great party?

V: We say a good party is the one you don’t remember. Hence the no photo and video policy at some of the best clubs in the world. You just can not capture it on tape. Not that easy to describe in words too. It’s all about energy and surprise factor I would say. The most memorable nights happen when something out of ordinary occurs - unexpected musical selection or line-up combination, unplanned super long set, explosive mix of the crowd, etc. You can not plan these things really. It’s a kind of magic. We know it was a good party when our inbox is booming of lost item requests on Monday.  

RA: Do you feel like the venue stands for anything, and if so, how do you express that?

V: Our venue stands for total eclipse of the heart. And the brain for that matter. We never announce set times because we want people to come for the night and for the full-on club experience, rather than one particular artist or a set. Some of our events get announced without full line ups. We trust the instincts of our crowd and they trust ours. Add eclectic, dark and sleazy sound to the equation and see what you get. A roller disco in Twin Peaks or an illegal rave at the set of 2001: A Space Odyssey. 

RA: What’s the greatest problem facing club culture in your city? 

V: Slowing down event economy, rapidly growing prices, increasing or just never ending emigration, police raids, Medieval Period like drug policies and attitudes, escalating competition with no rules whatsoever when your sound and event concepts get copied, residents get chased, and free entrance events with international guests and top local talent are being thrown. Also it gets increasingly hard to work international bookings. Fees are skyrocketing, artists and their agents aren’t giving a damn about the size of your club and economy, asking for more and more each and every time you approach them. I’ve started sending out the links to economic data like GDP and income per capita to agents to get more realistic deals. With no big effect I have to admit. But every challenge is also an opportunity they say. We’re planning to spend even more of our time, money and attention on up and coming artists and cool old-timers still looking for good fun, not only good pay.  

RA: What’s your favourite memory of the night?

V: There is a sweet spot at the end of the room, right behind the bar, kind of viewpoint where team members usually come when they want to check where’s the party at. You see the DJ, the dance floor and the bar from there. And if standing there, slightly removed from the centre of the action, I get carried away by the waves of energy and feel like falling down and disappearing into some kind of a rabbit hole, I know it’s one hell of the party. I totally love that feeling, countless memories of it and the prospect of experiencing it again and again.

True Panther Takeover - Lauren Auder & dviance Select - 27th January 2018

Rising out of the white-hot scene that is Lithuania's Opium, Siaubas are a Vilnius-based trio with a sound that is deeply influenced by musical mentors Manfredas & V. With a track on the forthcoming Opium compilation, scorching edits on CULTED and Power Cuts, as well as a killer remix for Drugface, set for release this spring, these young producers are likely to become fixtures on the underground Euro-chug scene for years to come. We were fortunate enough to host them in Berlin after their appearance at Opium's massive takeover of Wilde Renate.

Multi Culti Transmission XV - Siaubas

Last December @CCL-tuf and I were invited to play an all night back to back set at a party called High & Tight in Seattle. H&T is one of those parties that you dream of playing, where every detail from the sound to the setting is perfectly thought out and where the crowd stays with you for every twist and turn. We ended up playing for almost 9 hours (although actually I had to leave for the airport before the end.) This excerpt is the first 3 hours, slowly and carefully heating the soup before bringing things to a boil.

XXX Podcast 025 - Manfredas

Eris Drew is one of those artists who seemed to blow up over night, but who had actually been hard at work for decades. A long-time residency at Chicago's Smart Bar brought her to international attention, and her own Motherbeat parties at various places around Europe furthered that reputation. It is there that she manages to cook up pure, unadulterated dance floor love and euphoria with hi-energy selections and a unifying sense of oneness that is put together with her own so called “orchestration” mixing techniques. An inquisitive musician and innovative recording artist, she has also just put out her debut solo EP on Interdimensional Transmissions and runs T4T LUV NRG with partner Octo Octa. 

This week's mix is all of the above and more: a throbbing, impulsive and full bodied experience that serves up the most bumping house grooves but run through with the warm ambient glow of a post-rave comedown. The music feels at classic but also thoroughly contemporary: it will make you pump your fist in sheer joy, but also sends warm waves of euphoria through your body. This is the sound of the Motherbeat.

Eris on her mix:
"In a recent interview for DJ Mag I talk about my connection to the song “Secrets of Mediation” by Dutch producers Alex Dijksterhuis (Jamez) & Gaston Steenkist (Dobre). At Chicago raves in 1994 and 1995, this track revealed to me that modern dance music contains archaic ritual elements such as trance-inducing resonances, penetrating sacred drums, and language transformed into glossolalia. My DJ mix for Dekmantel is inspired by my formative dance experiences and by the intense extended sets I play at psychedelic raves such as Motherbeat and No Way Back. The mix includes bass music, progressive, breaks, house, techno, and minimal, all of which I collage, drop and scratch to put us into a tunneling trance."
