Hyperterranean #015 with Faery

@suze_ijo hails from the vibrant city of Rotterdam but her sound is inspired by her own heritage and takes in scenes from all over the world. She is a passionate collector of broken beats, techno, and breaks from West Africa, South America and the West Indies who has made her mark both in the club and her radio shows. She has hosted her own proudly diverse parties and always works to make the dance floor a place of harmony and togetherness. 

This week, she weaves together a lush array of soulful sounds across the house spectrum. The grooves are smooth and analogue and flow freely as water as emotive vocals, warm late-night synths and cuddly pads all make for an intimate and heartfelt selection for cosy dance floors. It's a perfect way to awaken your week and enrich your senses.

NYC-based Jonathan Lundquist, known as IT-XPO, is a Delayed regular for a good reason. The Chicago native never disappoints, regularly putting out exceptional DJ mixes, an impressive amount of live mixes that are somehow always full of fresh material, and of course his releases. 

Today we feature Lundquist’s second mix on Delayed, this time with an hour and a half of dance floor-oriented music. The most distinct characteristic of IT-XPO’s music is its dedication to emotion without compromising on unrelenting grooviness. This mix is no different. Opening on a “high” note with Lawrence’s Oolong High, and sustaining the energy throughout the 90 minutes, this mix will have you locked in and unwittingly swaying nonstop. The first hour is house à la Mr. G, before shifting to higher energy with hypnotic basslines and melody mania. 

IT-XPO has been and will keep putting out beautiful electronic music for years, and we are extremely happy to be able to support such an incredibly passionate who also just so happens to be our neighbor.

Honored to welcome UK-based Caldera to the series, a talented and multi-dimensional producer affiliated with several of our favorite labels along with his Well Street-associated Loop LF alias. Caldera's mix is volcanic, true to form, simmering and vaporous in its first half before igniting in thunderous bloom in the second. From headiness and haze to full-blown percussive workouts, an unparalleled sense of rhythm lies at its core, seismic in its swell. Thank you Caldera!

"I wanted to craft something polyrhythmic and groovey while focusing on the idea of stretching time and slowing things down. I’ve been loving the resurgence of funky hard groove techno and wanted to make a mix with this sound in mind while slowing down a lot of the tracks (by 10/15 bpm at least). In general, I’ve been enjoying a s lower and more considered pace in my life and this mix has a bit of that. Stretched out rhythms with the long mix."

SYSTEM108 PODCAST 159: CAPTAIN MUSTACHE

Ever since his first exposure to euro-dance pop as a twelve year-old kid, Berlin native Sascha Funke followed the siren call of electronic music, carving out his own spot at the forefront of leading-edge dance music. A seasoned hunter constantly digging for epic melodies, kicking beats or top-tier records to grace both his studio output and DJ sets, he specializes in deep, sweeping sounds - but always favored sitting on the fence when it came to the occasional shootout between genre trenches.

A well-known purveyor of allusive, pop-infused minimalism, Funke successfully combines the straightforward and the uncanny, all wrapped up in lean and stylish arrangements that don’t need much tools to establish a complex atmosphere - a sort of lock 'n' load romanticism that can be readily experienced on the much-acclaimed and highly influential full-length releases „Bravo“ (2003) or „Mango“ (2008). Both went on to become electronic classics in their own right and remain a rather popular choice on international dance floors to this day.

After establishing his unique musical vision on iconic underground imprints like BPitch Control or Kompakt, Funke has returned to the latter for his more recent efforts with Saschienne, a project he put forth with partner in crime Julienne Dessagne - resulting in 2012’s album „Unknown“, a master class in sparse, but highly effective techno songwriting that found its fair share of loyalists and serves as an ideal primer for Funke’s new solo output with the label. We could welcome him back, but then again, he wasn't really away.

After the release the duo toured around the world and further introduced their work with a dynamic live show. When Funke was not on stage with Julienne or spending his time with her and their son, he was occupying his weekends by playing his current favourite tunes and classics in some DJ booth around the world. The only Berlin-based producer that supports 1.FC Köln then had locked himself in the studio again and produced four new tracks the label Multi Culti, which celebrate techno darkly with melodies full of New Age and Krautrock spheres, cosmic trance moments and a slower BPM power.

As well he released on Tiga’s Canadian label Turbo Recordings the EP “IFA” and delivered four enchanting tracks between bewitched minimal tribal, twisted piano house, stomping psychedelic and space techno. And there is also a new solo album in the pipeline. It will be called “Lotos Land”, will see the light of the day on the Japanese label Endless Flight and presents the 40-year-old as a musician, that transcends deep felt emotions into a multidimensional ocean of sound. Those who would like to hear first impressions of his newest musical output should come to one of his DJ gigs - Sascha Funke likes to play unreleased sounds in DJ sets, which lately go beyond the average definition of techno and house and also presentdisco, wave, electro, cosmic, Krautrock and early electronic dance music. All mixed up with passion in order to kick all dancers into an unpredictable emotional journey, in which their bodies become absolutely unrestricted and bodiless.

"Cinematic, colourful, ambient techno" with the aid of milk chocolate Leibniz, high-vis jackets and gazelles.
Full interview here: https://www.theransomnote.com/music/rival-consoles-the-ransom-note-mix/

Rival Consoles, the moniker of British electronic musician Ryan Lee West, has carved his own niche in the world of the experimental electronic. helping to define a lot of the sound of the always excellent Erased Tapes label.  Weaving intricate soundscapes of ambient, techno, and classical elements with an ethos to "make synthesizers sound human", West is now back with the single “Coda” Another snapshot of nocturnal soundscaping, it follows up last year's album 'Now Is'. The single is accompanied by the announcement of new North American tour dates, his first in 5 years.

INTERVIEW

Rival Consoles - The Ransom Note Mix

In recent years, our exploration of the vibrant Spanish underground music scene has taken us on quite a journey. Initially, our connection with this intriguing realm was forged online, but it was our fortunate encounters with the passionate individuals who have remained stalwarts of the Spanish music scene for decades that truly deepened our appreciation. Our journey culminated in attending two exceptional festivals, Mostra and Paral.lel, over the past six months. These experiences gave us an up-close view of the local talent in action, leaving us with admiration and respect for their unwavering dedication and expertise in underground electronic music.

This August, in the picturesque region of Andalusia, an intimate gathering of music aficionados unfolded—the Simbiosis Festival, meticulously curated by Seville-based Doctrina Natura. This festival served as a rendezvous for the crème de la crème of the Spanish underground scene. Among the featured artists were names like Alberto Iniesta, Amarat, Doctrina Natura, Estrato Aurora & Ana Sola, F-on, Fran Campos, Future Pedro, Halos, Inpass, Josephine Soundscapes, Medi, Oisatsana, Qeel, Rvbian, Vidēní, Graber, Imox, Trevor Handa, and Utopian. The Simbiosis Festival embodies a sense of familial unity, fostering community spirit and nurturing local talent, all while extending a warm welcome to music enthusiasts from across the globe. The event showcased an extraordinary blend of music skillfully curated by seasoned DJs and emerging talents from the Iberian peninsula.

We are thrilled to collaborate with the Simbiosis Festival and bring you a taste of the magic from this year's edition. In the upcoming months, we will be featuring three exceptional DJ sets, with the first installment being none other than the venerable Madrid-based Alberto Iniesta, a name synonymous with the Spanish underground music scene for decades. We discovered Iniesta's musical brilliance approximately a year ago when we stumbled upon his mesmerizing four-hour-plus mix titled "Line 22." Iniesta's storytelling in that mix stole our hearts instantly. In his Simbiosis Festival set, Iniesta takes us on a well-paced odyssey through low-slung deep, dub techno, and halftime, genres that Spaniards have honed to perfection. Within this mix, you'll encounter a hypnotic and enigmatic atmosphere characterized by rolling grooves that gently sway like seaweed on the ocean floor.
