Digitaria: Music To... Go Deep Into The Night

"Out of control wigged out jams" is what Dean Meredith and Ben Shenton describe the rather fine musical outpourings of their Mind Fair project. They have a full album about to drop on the most excellent Golf Channel Recordings shortly. We like it very much. We asked them to record us a mix for their Enthusiasm for Sound. Here is the result... get it in your ears.

Can you tell us a few key details about Mind Fair?

We released our first single, 'Kerry's Scene' in November 2011 on International Feel and have since been releasing a steady flow of music for one of our favourite labels, Golf Channel, since then, as well as releasing an LP earlier this year as The Central Executives feat Clover Ray as well as a few releases for our own Rogue Cat Sounds imprint.

"All U Writers" maintains that quintessential !!! trait of blending electronic and organic elements in dance, but they approached it in this instance in a novel way. "It's definitely a club track," says Offer. "There's elements in it that are from an original jam that the band was doing, chopped up and fucked with. It's almost like we sampled ourselves."

Mixed by Life on Planets, featuring exclusive edits of Private Agenda, and Prins Thomas. New original music from Navid Izadi, Theo Parrish, and John Tejada.

We caught these talented gentlemen for the first time performing their live set at BPM Festival 2015 for the Crew Love jam. We became instant fans and couldn't resist striking up a conversation about music with  them later on... which ultimately led to this phenomenal, classy, deep and intricate mix. We're thrilled to present our latest edition of the Bespoke Musik Radio show with Life on Planets.

With a current release on Days Of Being Wild featuring fellow DJ and friend Morgan Hammer, the Mexican DJ/Producer is riding high, making the move to Barcelona to explore all that Europe has to offer. Keeping busy with upcoming EP's with labels Have A Killer Time and Nein plus a selection of remixes, mixes and compilations in the making, we'd say you'll be hearing a lot more of Lokier. 

INTERVIEW

Lokier - Shine A Light On... Ransom Note Mix

Israel’s hottest export follow up excellent EPs on Hivern and I’m A Cliché with a 3-tracker for the global psychedelic cult of Multi Culti.

Tel Aviv’s Red Axes are one of the most exciting new acts in dance music, with rich sound that is musical, deep, trippy and organic, while remaining precise and lethally effective in the club. The range in their sound is impressive, their talent unmistakeable. They are one of our favourite artists of the year, and this latest record is one of their best yet.

Lead track 'Waiting for a Surprise’ builds around a mid-tempo disco bassline, with tough percussion, and rugged synth stabs, but it’s the eerie and unique sounding vocals of Brazilian collaborator Abrao that bring everything together. This one is a guaranteed bomb for building up, tearing down, peak time or chilling out… an outstanding track in every sense, the kind that force trainspotters to the DJ booth to discover what’s playing. Next up, ‘Hope’ kicks off with resonant, delayed toms, adding a haunting howl and synths before dropping into a wild, clanging, carnivalesque frenzy. It’s understated, but advanced, with an interesting arrangement that really opens up in the second half. Finally, 'The Metal Bender’ slows the tempo but ups the vibe into an elated, slow-burning space-disco anthem. Fantastic stuff!

Melbourne’s Kris Baha, fresh from launching his Power Station imprint, offers a stripped down remix of ‘Waiting for a Surprise,’ with a heavy, industrial-influenced groove that wanders into the deep, dark end of party strasse.

Ivan Smagghe is the seamlessly cool founder behind Les Disques de la Mort. For years he has been regarded as one of the leading figures in Electronic music and continues to push the boundaries between the weird, wonderful, obscure and danceable, alongside the likes of Andrew Weatherall, Optimo, Trevor Jackson and more. He slots firmly into chic French fashion culture and gritty, underground musical eclecticism at the same time. Over the past couple of years his label has released music from far and wide: pop obscurities from Israel, punk funk from Lithuania and experimental electronics from the likes of Mutado Pintado, Golden Bug and Margot. He delivers over an hour of energetic fun for Ransom Note.

Ivan Smagghe: The Ransom Note Mix

*Check out our next party in Berlin with Leon Revol + Ben Start on 2 April 2016: https://www.facebook.com/events/1684485181808206/

The multifarious sounds of Joe Europe first appeared on our radar with his eponymous EP for Vitalik back in 2012, laden with breezy melodic grooves on a proper deep house tip. Raised on a diet of Shropshire’s free party scene and his big brother’s Dave Clarke’s mixtapes, he runs the Ears Have Eyes label and parties and has received praise from the likes of Resident Advisor and Ibiza Voice for his productions. Since he first came to our attention, he has taken his sound into deeper, more atmospheric territory, with a new acid gurgler on Flumo Recordings (included here) a particular highlight alongside output for FALK, Bokharia and Teleskopic. His Monologues mix collates a bevvy of his unreleased sounds, ranging from ambient textures to 303 workouts and the deepest of techno, all delivered at a delightfully chuggy pace.

*How would you describe your sound?* 

I would describe my sound as the product of over two decades of loving dance music, both electronic and otherwise and all that comes with it. I guess I stick pretty firmly within the realms of house and techno, and listening back to this it seems I quite like my acid too! I love the mechanical element of techno and I think that's in my sound, but I also love music to have soul and maybe a bit of funk to it as well. 

 *What and who inspires you and influences your sound?* 

As I said before I've been a huge fan of electronic music since I was about 11. Music-wise I would have to say my influences are everything from Dave Clarke (my earliest encounter with electronic music) to LFO to UR to Metalheadz to disco to funk to jazz to The Cure to Derrick Carter. Beyond music though, my influences come from spending all my free time reading about ancient history and science/the future. Frank Herbert, Kurt Vonnegut, proper curry, The Simpsons. My cat [pictured] has been a big inspiration since we got him a few months back. 

*Can you tell us a little about this mix and what it means to you?*

All of the tracks on this mix are unreleased except for one (Deep Point - which will be out soon on Flumo). I write a lot of music and this is just a cross-section of what I've got going on. Some has been sent to labels, most hasn't and probably never will. I guess it's just nice to show people where my head is at but you will have to excuse their lack of polish. Most of these tracks were never intended to see the light of day! 

Tracklist:
Joe Europe - First Light (Garden Universe) [unreleased]
Joe Europe - Sirens of Titan [unreleased]
Joe Europe - Radio Rental [unreleased]
Joe Europe - Deep Point [Flumo Recordings]

Payphone talk quarantines and international smark. Following two fairly monster releases on Golf Channel Records there has been a bit of a storm surrounding a four to the floor etiquette which surrounds the music. Secretive and infamous there is a radiant swagger surrounding each release and in the forthcoming weeks a third EP will land on Phil South's Golf Channel imprint in which Payfone fits so well. This mix incorporates worldly influences, dynamic musical flair and crashes through the boundaries of 'acceptable' club music. Listen and read the interview on site...

Carlos Valdes has been at the heart of the Amsterdam scene for years, as a DJ, label boss and promoter. His DJ sets mix up everything from hypnotic techno to kicking house and, rather than playing all the big hits, he selects the records that make most sense at the time. He is well known for his classy and considered taste.

Once "HMV's premier singles buyer", Andy Pye went on to become a passionate and obsessive music collector, DJ, radio host and now also a label owner. The proud aficionado of all things Balearic, we thought it very fitting that he create a Monday mix for us, and he did not let us down.

Sling & Samo are the exiting duo behind the Born Free record label which resides in Stockholm. Over the last few years the pair have been releasing a vast array of weird, wonderful, oddball music: some built for the dancefloor and some certainly not. The pair are colourful characters who don't take themselves or what they do too seriously. Samo is also well known in his own right as a producer and dj having released music for the likes of LIES, The Trilogy Tapes and Public Possession but together with Sling the pair enter a new realm of musical exploration. We asked them to record a mix for us.

For many days this ship was stuck.
Today the journey continues.

The direction is unknown.
There is no goal, no aim, no destination.

This ship is driven only by one urge -
to be somewhere else tomorrow.


Space for company is unlimited, feel free to join.
Don't take too much time though.
We are about to take off.

To  Celebrate the upcomping release of our Nu Groove compilation, Gerd Janson was kind enough to make us an awesome mix of his favorite Burrel Brothers tracks!

Recording under different aliases, the Burrell Brothers were the backbone
of Nu Groove Records. This New York label started in 1987 and took
inspiration from Trax Records, both musically and aesthetically. This
compilation compiles the absolute best of the Burrell's output and in
doing so is giving us a valuable insight to the much overlooked roots of
New York house music.
Available from Feb 13, 2012
Formats: 2x 2LP (Pt1 + Pt2), CD and Digital

The Burrell Brothers Nu Groove mix by Gerd Janson

Expect the unexpected. That's the philosophy Rotterdam-based DJ mad miran promotes in her DJ sets. A regular on the Dutch capital's mainstay Red Light Radio and a face behind the counter at the infamous Clone record shop, Miran has fast become one of the country's most promising DJs. 

Although she only played her first DJ set in a club a couple of years ago, she's already landed a residency at Trouw successor De School and become part of the Strange Sounds From Beyond family, seeing her name spread like wildfire and lead to a string of gigs across Europe.

We invited her to dive into her record bag for us and the result is 80 minutes of leftfield electro, raw breaks and introspective electronica. Enter into the crazy world of mad miran...

mad miran: The 'Wednesday Alternative' Mix

Amsterdam has been graced with a fearsome array of fabulous selectors and disc jockeys in recent times, the city is abuzz with experimental music and talent. 

Orpheu The Wizard has been a pivotal figure in the development of the scene, crucially helping to nurture new faces through his key role as a co founder of Redlight radio - a distinctive platform which has acted as a gateway and an open door to a new wave of music, producers and dj's. 

His own background is well versed, he's earnt his stripes and played the long game building a respectable array of musical knowledge and selective talent which he uses to entice and delight crowds across Europe and beyond. Eclectic, far reaching and multi purpose - his sets often run wild across a sprawling spectrum of sound. 

This year he will play at Love International festival, an appearance which should not be missed.

Step back, this is a big one. 

Across the past couple of decades there have been very few who can attest as much influence as that of Joakim, a singular producer who has been charted as an influential figure by many of the leading producers and disc jockeys in the present.

The French outsider has amassed a notorious reputation for his eclectic style as a disc jockey and producer having released music on the likes of Versatile, Kitsuné Music, Life And Death, Crosstown Rebels and beyond. As the founder behind Tigersushi Records and Crowdspacer he has been responsible for leading a new generation of talent into the dance and has played a key role in the future development of dance and electronic music. 

As an individual his own take on music is wide and vast, not one to shy away from the alternative or experimental he has done well to channel a sprawling array of style, genre and sound across his own lengthy career and in all honesty Joakim continues to surprise and intrigue with delight. 

A Dj's dj, he is a firm favourite and we welcome him as part of the series.
