Respecting pandemic strictures, Robert Johnson Club hibernates since mid-march. Its iconic view from the balcony can now be seen on the Robert Johnson homepage in real-time, as long as the club remains closed. Each SEE YOU SOON Ambient Mix has been crafted with this feature in mind—the choice of mix, day or night time, is at your discretion.

"See You Soon" - Ambient Mix XXXIII - Javier Bähr

We recently had the honour of catching up with Salon des Amateurs resident Vladimir Ivkovic for our second radio show on Echobox. Fresh from playing Dekmantel Selectors, Fabric and at his favourite pub, The Gun, we talked about his experience of playing multiple gigs abroad for the first time again, as well as what he’s been working on for his label, Offen Music. Furthermore, Vladimir treated us to an hour-long beautiful soundscape, which was created in preparation to playing Dekmantel Selectors, featuring some of his favourite old, new and forthcoming music.

Guest Mix By Josh Cheon

Josh Cheon grew up in suburban New Jersey, 15 minutes outside of New York City where he spent his weekends dancing at goth club The Bank and digging for records. He held internships at Metropolis Records, Beggars Banquet/4AD, Matador and DFA before moving to San Francisco in 2006.  Josh was a member of queer DJ collective Honey Soundsystem from 2007 to 2017. His love of underground 80s music pushed him to start Dark Entries in 2009, a record label specializing in reissuing lost music from that time as well as contemporary bands referencing those analog sounds.  Dark Entries was born in the spring of 2009 to release out of print and unreleased underground music as well as contemporary bands. A project of Josh Cheon, a vinyl-focused DJ and collector, Dark Entries takes great care in preserving sound quality and respecting the aesthetics of its artists. All of their releases are a carry over from the DIY days of the 1980s independent record labels.

HENRY was live with 2 hours of leftfield ambient, psychedelic rock and house cuts. Music from the likes of KiTA, weltraumrauschen, Spooky and Pillow Queen.

The Traveler

People & Places w/ HENRY - November 2021

Cementing his name as a founding member of Death in Vegas and Black Acid, Richard Fearless came into his own as a solo artist after the launch of his Drone imprint: a space for his own creations, Death In Vegas material, as well as outings from like-minded producers — Container, D'Marc Cantu and Gabe Gurnsey to name a few.

His most recent release, Future Rave Memory, is the newest companion to his Deep Rave Memory LP, both of which were recorded in his Metal Box; a studio space that has a unique location at the meeting point of the River Thames and the River Lea.

It's this geography and architecture that inspired the sounds on both releases. The blend of dark ambient, komische, drone and acid draws not only from his Metal Box destination, but the corporate buildings and metallic structures he passes on the way to the studio. Described by Richard as “an era when humanity is reckoning with its outsized place in the natural world”, the second LP is now available for your listening pleasure digitally, and on vinyl in Mid December.

Like us, we imagine you're stumbling bleary-eyed into Monday, but luckily Richard is here to help us find the light in the darkness. He delivers a mix of droning rhythms and soundscapes that tread the line between ethereal and haunting; between distortion and bliss.

Q+A
Please introduce yourself
- My name is Johanna, I produce and play electronic music, both DJ and live performer. Moved to Sweden last year after 13 years in Berlin, and recently started up a creative space here in an old car garage, where I have my hair salon, host music events, exhibitions, flea markets and workshops etc
 
Can you describe your relationship to music throughout your life?
- It's always been there but changing a lot during the years. It has however always been spiritual to me in a non-religious way, music has always been a great way of communicating my inner thoughts and emotions that can't be described with words.

How did Berlin influence the way you make and listen to music?
- It wasn't so much about Berlin itself, it was more about moving away from everyone I knew and everything that I did in Sweden, and moving to a new (and at the time cheaper) place, where I could afford and take the time to be working with music and be alone. I only DJ'd locally in Berlin for the first couple of years before I started touring, so I wasn't really influenced by the "berlin technoscene" too much. I was mostly amazed about the way people partied for days at a time, but for me partying too much meant having no energy left to be creative in the studio. 13 years went by very fast I'll tell you that. One thing that I do miss in Berlin are the very many record stores to buy vinyl, but Malmö has some really good ones too actually (Bolero and Rundgång for example), and to go out partying daytime. And being out for too long.

How does it feel to be back in Malmo now, both in terms of music and life in general?
- Oh my god, i'm so happy to be here. The crew I've found here have already thrown a few open-airs, a couple of club nights where we've done everything from decor to DJ. It's so inspiring! Berlin is filled to the brim with so many people doing the same thing, which can also mean that it's very easy to get ungrateful/jealous of your DJ-friends which is kind of terrible actually. 

How did you approach your Patience release, and how did that differ from your usual approach to making music?
- As I wrote to Luca who did the artwork, I was making the music at a time when everything around me was moving and changing in directions that I didn't choose myself. It was mid-pandemic, I'd lost all of my income,  and had decided to leave the city that I had lived in for 13 years (and loved at that time), not knowing if I'd be able to continue making music or not. Going to the studio to work on this was one of my few comforting things I could do, and sitting with it gave me a nice pause from that intense Weltschmerz I was feeling at the time.

Do you have a personal favorite longform piece of music?
- So many, I mean isn't that what DJ-mixes are for as well? A really well thought through DJ mix is something I appreciate so so much. And I want to mention everything from John Carroll Kirby, especially the Patience release. So good!
