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.

Ephemeral Distance was started in 2020 by Yorgos Kourtis as an alternative way of approaching others and understanding himself. For him, techno music is a means of communication, a way to travel into space-time, a starting point for an evolution process. His style is atmospheric, deep and hypnotic techno with powerful dark soundscapes, constant rhythms, and overwhelming dystopic synths – characterized by exquisite musical taste and capable of arousing countless strong emotions.

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.
