Wow, what is this track, it's so menacing

Best Set in SC eveeeerrr! Justin my hero!

This recording was selected for a guest spot on Dublab Radio, that aired on Saturday, January 29th, 2022 and was accompanied with a brief interview that was lead by Lottie, which is posted here below. 

What has been the biggest challenge and more positive outcome you’ve experienced through extended time at home?

Being alone with my record collection and contemplating how different I am feeling, and considering which slabs of vinyl that I want to spend more time with. Rekindling relationships with certain sonic objects that are saturated with memories and have the power to transport me to a different space.

Thank you for the recording this mix for dublab – I know its been a while since you put a mix into the ether – can you speak about your process?

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and wandered blindly into the void. This recording is a document of a moment in time, while smothered in an atmosphere that is as beautiful as it is ugly. The outcome is a true sonic image that is unmolested, unedited, and honest. An automatic drawing where one action responds to the next without any shadow of a doubt, and then preserved in its total form.

How did you approach the mix, did you have an idea in your mind of how it was going to go – or did you just trust your instinct?

Every time it is like traveling on autopilot with an empty mind that is prepared to accept the laws of chance while powered by an engine of chaos. I am a beacon rupturing from my life experiences. One light turns out, while another one flickers on. It is a very vehement ritual activity that depends on the action of call and response, while embracing the limitations that I set for myself by the tools that I choose to use. There is nothing but blind trust.

A lot of your art focuses on magic, ritual practice – but I would also say storytelling, a lot of the music in this mix, seems to spell some hidden meanings, can you go into any of those?

One of the strongest qualities of music, and all art in general is its subjective nature. Meanings can change continually through an endless scope of variables. The original intent of the artist can be transformed completely by the one that is digesting it. An important character of a successful work of art is its power to present open narratives shrouded in unlimited possibilities. And the closer and harder you look, the more questions will arise.

Our next podcast offering to the ever-hungry Lodge spirits comes from legendary Chicago sonic warlock, Justin Aulis Long. Justin has been a staple in the Midwest electronic music scene since the early 90's, borne from the fires of the infamous Medusa's on Sheffield. His technique and musical language have positioned him as one of Chicago's legendary selectors. Together with Eris Drew, Sevron and Sold, he is a founding member of the Hugo Ball gatherings that take place at Smartbar Chicago, where he is also the senior resident. Together with Ken Zawacki, Long is also one half of Circling Vultures, a techno-punk outfit with releases on respected labels such as L.I.E.S., Contort Yourself, Secret Studio, and later this year on our own Black Lodge label. A true chaos magician, Homeric poet, alchemist and visual artist. We are honored to share this podcast inspired by our recent Samhain gathering, of which he was an integral part of.

Artist's Statement:
"This recording is an alchemical reaction to the events that occurred within the paranormal spaces of the Black Lodge in Los Angles during the celebration of Halloween, a holiday with roots in the ancient pagan festival, Samhain. While engaged in the performative action of musical selection, time lost its significance as the material world dissolved. Turntables, mixer, and a thoughtful grouping of records (magic spells/alchemical compounds) are machines for divination. The sonic alchemy that thrives in the realm of chaos magick holds the key to travel beyond the familiar, and in that space is where we can locate the warm embrace of angels."

Black Lodge Podcast 005: Justin Aulis Long

Since the end of Sandwell District, Silent Servant has continued to be an influential presence in the techno world. The American’s Jealous God label defies convention and expectation with each release and his own avant guard productions remain utterly unique. Each one speaks to his roots—Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, The Cure—by fusing post punk and industrial with techno in chilling ways. His conceptual and sincere aesthetic carries over into his live sets, but also his DJ mixes. 

This latest one is special indeed: it is a mix of influences, in chronological order and “with only a few hiccups in dates” from 1972 to 2000 and all recorded on vinyl in one take. The resulting hour takes in plenty of those goth and alternative rock sounds, new wave, noise and experimental touchstones he grew up on in Los Angeles, but also seamlessly connects them to the techno that later influenced him so the likes of Kraftwerk, Neon, The Final Cut, Toddy Terry and Jeff Mills all make the cut. From stark and jerky rhythms early on to supple, strobe lit grooves in the second half, this is a personal mix that really tells the story of Silent Servant’s musical evolution.

Dekmantel Podcast 175 - Silent Servant

For the next episode we present an acidic journey through the familiar, yet unfamiliar realms of the uncanny. A special 2 hour and 42 minute presentation of psychedelia that recalls the dark corners of warehouse parties of a forgotten era, while at the same time, striking to the current core of modern jakbeat aesthetics. Further mind altering experiences are provoked and amplified by a delay pedal that runs its course from beginning to end, while making no apologies for its audible presence. And without further adieu, we present "Demented - Fluids of Acid Adrenaline, Uncontrolled with Endless Effects", a sound painting by, Traxx.
