KHIDI Podcast NR.52: Black Merlin

Welcome to a brand new codecast X experience.

For this episode, we'd like to introduce a great DJ/producer from Brussel, Belgium, Pattrn.

Pattrn’s work as a producer bases itself on the creation of space and its perception for the audience.
His precision is the fruit of a lifelong dedication to music of all forms, from creation in itself or through his implications in Brussels’ scene.

Sonic experiments derived from syncopated rhythms, intricately crafted ambiences, and patiently evolving textures are expected from this carefully curated selection.

We really hope you enjoy this driving & smoothly crafted session, by https://soundcloud.com/pattrn_dj.

[PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB] proudly presents its 86th release — Mountain Altai VA: Chuysky Trakt. Dub Techno Star Collection, Vol. 1

Mountain Altai — a sacred land where the breath of the wind gives birth to legends, where mountains become mirrors of eternity, and rivers flow through the music of time. To celebrate three years of [PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB], we unveil a grand sonic chronicle — a 12-volume anthology dedicated to the Mountain Altai. 108 tracks, 108 stories woven by artists from different countries and cities, united into a single sonic map that reveals the beauty and greatness of this sacred region through sound. Perhaps one day, after hearing this message, You’ll feel the call to see it for Yourself. Until then, we invite every listener to journey through the most beautiful and legendary places of Mountain Altai — one of the most mystical corners of our planet.

The first chapter is devoted to the Chuysky Trakt — the road leading straight into the heart of the myth. The Chuysky Trakt connects Siberia and Mongolia, the realms of humans and spirits, time and dimensions. It is a path laid through ridges, rivers, and steppes — following the Katun and the Chuya rivers — and leading to the very heart of the Altai Mountains. Every turn here is a boundary between worlds, every mountain pass a gate, and every stone holds the memory of millennia. Each track is like a stone in the Katun River, a cloud over Mount Belukha, a reflection of light on the morning surface of Lake Teletskoye.

::: emesh (@music_ams) opens the “Gates of Love”, showing the Trakt as a portal — a passage into another dimension, a doorway into silence louder than words.

Mountain Altai VA is not just a compilation — it is a stellar dub techno collection dedicated to mountains, rivers, and people. The Chuysky Trakt is more than a road through Altai — it is a legendary path that carries the power of the land and shares it with everyone who walks it. It is a symbolic road, a line connecting spaces, cultures, and souls. Vol. 1 opens the gates to our sonic pilgrimage through Mountain Altai. The first part marks the beginning of the journey along the Chuysky Trakt — a road that leads not only through the mountains but deep within oneself.
Thus begins our sound odyssey: Mountain Altai VA.

Yours in sound and spirit,
The [PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB] Crew.

“ The true joy of a moonlit night is something we no longer understand. 
Only the men of old, when there were no lights, could understand the true joy of a moonlit night. ”

Ethereal, nostalgic and hypnotic. These are some adjectives that can describe the sounds of the young Italian duo Primal Code. 
Gabriele and Davide come from Milano and they immediately jumped into the scene with slow melodies and sumptuous grooves found in their first EP "Eteru", released by Hypnus Record. Last January they reconfirmed themselves with the second EP "Artemisia", this time on Konstrukt, which is getting an excellent response. 
A lot of other their original tracks can be listened on “the Memoir” podcast series, where you can find a focus hour of their whole music.
In the summer of 2018 they released a debut album "La Via della Seta" on Hypnus Record officially entering on the label's roster. The records is a musical narrative path towards oriental atmospheres, impersonating themself in a fabric merchants from ancient times.
In April will be released a new EP “The North Path” on The Gods Planet label and after that a lot of new music will come, with more tribal and mysterious sound.
A personal and musical experience emerges in the songs, creating an enviroment in which all listeners’ senses are involved and projecting them into a sentimental level. Their music is an expression of a primordial instinct that dwells in all of us.

Accompanying this mix, our in-house journalist, Smoki, posed some questions to Claudio on his approach to warming up a dance-floor. We hope you enjoy what you read and hear.

Claudio PRC is a favourite amongst the entire team at FOLD. As the first DJ playing at the Semantica Records night he set a perfect tone for our dancers and his label compatriots. From listening to this set you can clearly hear the passion Claudio has for his choice of music. We relish the opportunity to allow DJ's like Claudio to comfortably perform exactly the way they want. Accompanying this mix, we posed some questions to Claudio on his approach to warming up a dance-floor. We hope you enjoy what you hear.

Thanks for agreeing to this interview Claudio. Your recent warm up set at FOLD was a masterclass in how to get a deep techno party started. First, I'd love to ask what you thought of FOLD?

When I played for the first time at FOLD I was amazed by the structure. A warehouse which totally represents the true underground spirit in London. Finally, something that the city absolutely needed...for my past experiences! How it was made and managed is very pure, a community completely devoted to our culture. The sound system and its DJ booth is perfectly made and curated, along with the LED wall and lighting system. I always feel comfortable playing there.

How do you prepare your warm up set? Do you mix in a different way when playing at this time?

When I prepare a warm up set I want to start from a primordial sound. Like concrete sounds. In general, field recordings related to a specific experience or a specific place - which in that time - are inspiring me most. Then slowly I like to add synthetic sounds, beat-less, mainly drones with dilated elements, long pads and wrapping atmospheres aimed to create an imaginary life to the room. A frame, an imaginary soundscape. Always slowly, I start to add percussive elements and rhythms, some melodies, trying to reach a point where the groove can come in. The method of mixing is very deep and dilated in space, aimed at creating the right climax

In your opinion, what makes a great warm up set?

The warm up set is the most important part of the party. It’s the beginning of the story of the night, so it leads the night in a specific way. From my point of view the opening set must give to the people the proper welcome in the club. I like warm welcomes, so as a dancer I would love to be hugged by the music with warm and pleasant sounds, to let my ears adapt to the sound system and to be comfortable with the space and with the other dancers. Another very important thing is to be respectful to the artist who is playing after, to leave to him/her a proper key to start his/her performance as best as possible. It’s important to really know who is playing after and to listen to a lot of his/her music!

Tell me about playing to audiences in London, Claudio.

For a couple of years I’ve been playing regularly in London and during this time I was able to build a passionate crowd who constantly come to my gigs because they want to listen to a certain type of music and to have a deeper experience. It's beautiful to see in the last years how deep music has created a common sense of party all over the world! London is undoubtedly part of this scene, it’s a community which is linked to each other and I am very happy for this.

Lastly, I’d like to find out which producers or DJ’s are really exciting you right now?

Thank you so much for giving me the possibility to tell you my point of view on this topic which I love so much. I've been impressed in the last couple of years by my dear friend Luigi Tozzi. He is a young talent but he already has great maturity on all these things we discussed here. Both his productions and his DJ sets are an example of how something should be done properly. If you don’t know, I totally recommend!

Thanks for the taking time to answer these questions Claudio!

Record label - Podcast Series

Codecast's main goal is to deliver a space where artists are able to portray their essence and to share the symphonies residing in their souls. A space designed to connect with other deep minds and different perceptions of reality, through music.
Music shall be the instrument to approach the deeper experience we're looking for. 

In the case of being a DJ/artist, you can send us your demos via email, always respecting the approach and goal of the channel, which is to represent the essence of the artist with the posted material, within the genre of electronic music, with introspective orientation.

We don't stick to any genre.

All the sets featured in this channel can be downloaded for free.

                  -------------------------------------------

No existe una realidad única e inmutable, cada percepción evoca su propio universo y lo proyecta.

El arte es uno de los medios por el cual podemos adentrarnos en la proyección ajena y así sumergirnos en un universo distinto de forma temporal, que luego quizá tenga un determinado efecto sobre la propia proyección.

Codecast apunta a que cada artista plasme su esencia en nuestras colaboraciones, que le de forma a esa abstracción que emana su centro, para permitirnos dar un paseo por su universo personal.

En caso de ser artista y/o  DJ, podes enviarnos tus demos via mail, siempre respetando el approach y objetivo del canal, que es representar la esencia del artista con el material publicado, y dentro del genero de la música electrónica, con orientación introspectiva. 

No nos valemos por generos.
