Galactic Funk Podcast 028 - Melania .

Knife presenta Maedon, DJ y productora nacida en New York con sede en Berlín.
Su album debut y algunos tracks fueron lanzados en el legendario sello Sonic Groove de Adam X ,próximamente saldrá un track en un V.A para Deviate.

Cita del artista:

“Esta mezcla es la primera que preparo en un año y medio. Han pasado muchas cosas en este tiempo, como todos sabemos. Comienza con una pista muy esperanzadora y abarca un rango dinámico de sonidos que expresan todas las emociones que he sentido durante este último año y medio.

Estoy emocionada de compartir una pista inédita de Crystal Geometry titulada Utopia; saldrá a finales de este año en Sonic Groove. También incluí una pista mía inédita que envié para una compilación de Deviate; estará disponible este verano.

En cuanto al proceso, esta es literalmente la primera mezcla que he elaborado con la que fui extremadamente meticulosa, también es la primera mezcla que preparé con Ableton Live. Los pocos podcasts que hice anteriormente se grabaron en Rekordbox usando un controlador Pioneer simple. Comencé a usar Live hace unos dos meses, por lo que armar esta mezcla realmente me ayudó a aprenderlo aún más ".

Knife presents Maedon, a New York-born DJ and producer based in Berlin.
Her debut album and some tracks were released on Adam X's legendary Sonic Groove label, a track will be out on a V.A for Deviate soon.

Quote from the artist:

“This mix is the first mix I’ve put together in a year and a half. Much has happened in this time, as we all know. It starts out with a very hopeful track and it spans a dynamic range of sounds expressing all the emotions I have felt throughout this past year and half.

I’m excited to share an unreleased track from Crystal Geometry titled Utopia; it will be out later this year on Sonic Groove. I’ve also included an unreleased track of mine that I submitted for a Deviate compilation; it will be available this summer. 

As for the process, this is literally the first mix i’ve ever put together that I was extremely meticulous with, it is also the first mix that I put together using Abelton Live. The few podcasts I have done previously were recorded in Rekordbox using a simple Pioneer controller. I started using Live about two months ago, so putting this mix together has really helped me learn it even deeper".

Knife Podcast 152 | MÆDON

Kareem, Founder of Zhark Recordings Berlin, has been presenting heavy armoured track material since the year 96 challenging the auditory, pushing them deep into the abyss.
His definition of the Zharkesthetic lies in conveying a claustrophobic state > an atmosphere of threatening sound architecture constantly challenging the innocuous conventions of the electronic DANCE MEDIUM.

His portfolio ranges from dozens of vinyl releases on Zhark, to release collaborations with industrial techno producers such as Ancient Methods or Dave Foster aka HUREN. 
Kareem has furthermore contributed to projects such as Amélie Ravalec`s Techno Documentary Paris/Berlin 20 years of underground Techno, Perc`s 10 year anniversary compilation or Boomkat`s Connor Thomas conceptional vinyl series The Death of Rave. 

Kareem has played major venue such as Berghain, Tresor or Katharis (Amsterdam) and has been transmitting his dark vision of Techno both as a DJ and in intense long enduring  Live Set sessions.

Lost In Ether | Podcast #92 | OPERANT

BIO:
OPERANT is the collaboration between Instruments Of Discipline founder Luna Vassarotti and August Skipper, the project exists in a unique realm, passing between power-electronics, industrial, techno and dark ambience, exploring themes of gender, body morphology and its ability to be altered through violent reconstruction, psychic and psychological manipulation, a crushed, robotic transcendence, where wounds in the body become gateways to other spaces; voice, synths and field recordings meld into rhythmic, ritualistic schism. OPERANT’s live shows are a collision between the body and machines, encompassing gestural noise, mic'd metal fragments, synths, drum machines and dual vocals distorted to the point of surreality. Since the 2016 release of 'ZK-II' & 2017's Zero Knowledge' OPERANT have been consistently touring, affirming their position as one of the most distinct and visceral new live electronic projects currently existing in Europe. After playing South Korea for Constant Value w/ Ancient Methods & Unhuman and touring Europe extensively,
playing alongside Blush_Response, Vatican Shadow, The Bug, Giant Swan, Schwefelgelb, An-i, Trepenaringsritualen & Brighter Death Now, 2018 has seen the release of new EP 'Harnessed To Flesh' on Instruments Of Discipline and a remix for Tomohiko Sagae on new Dutch label Strange Therapy.

New Brvtalism No. 155 - Jasmine Azarian

Pleased to upload a recording mix from the famous Serbian duo Ontal a  fav  collaboration project since 2013.   In this world, there is no place for the constantly recycled concepts of darkness and destruction that dominate certain genres. Neither is there place for the hedonistic simplicity of other genres. In fact, there is no place for genres at all. Progress and future are the only focus. 

This podcast was recorded at Khadija's (https://soundcloud.com/khad1ja) KDJ Wave Radio Show on Newtown Radio in Brooklyn. November, 2019. Enjoy

The Forgotten CCXLII: Rhys Fulber (live hardware session)

#44 by https://soundcloud.com/blush-response
Podcast series by Club Rote Sonne from Munich, Germany - www.rote-sonne.com

Blush Response is Joey Blush, a Cuban-American artist and sound designer hailing from NUC who now resides in Berlin. Blush cut his teeth doing programming work for artists such as Fear Factory, Rhys Fulber, Cristian Castro, and as a touring member of Joey Jordison (Slipknot)'s alternative rock project Scar the Martyr. A fascinating, vibrant new artist, frequenting the outer realms of post punk, industrial, techno, you-name-it and has a plethora of releases on cd, vinyl, digital and even cassette tape format to date on labels like Sonic Groove, Aufnahme + Wiedergabe, Ant-zen, and Total Black

The intention behind blush response is to always push the limits of sound, structure, and perception, creating a modern version of what he perceives industrial music to be: brutal, inventive, uncompromising and always innovative. Throbbing Gristle, Surgeon or Front 242 have left audible traces in his sound, and his goal is to recapture the core spirit of these originators, and then to evolve it even further. Performing on hardware synthesizers is a big part of the essence of Blush Response. His approach is very ‘hands on’ and thus 90% of the changes you hear on his sounds are done by hand without any automation. Blush believes in performative gestures over cut and paste editing, and strives to explore the limits of human-machine interactions. His live performances are 100% improvised and mostly unplanned which includes mistakes and happy accidents, and this philosophy is also reflected in his studio work.

Blush Response's music is characterized by a heavy approach to sound design, combining rough, glitch-heavy beats with thick, distorted synths. Pounding, head-tripping kick drums intermix with abrasive, dark sequences generating huge walls of cavernous sonics. A pulsating slice of straightforward noise-filtered techno with a good dose of industrial and EBM influences while blush's improvising skills enable a sound that blurs the lines between these genres. A barely tamed beast, biting and piercing holes in eardrums and somehow magically managing to make your feet tap along or, at considerable volume, rave.
