last saturday nite in Amsterdam Rush Hour Music invited 
Traxx to Doka playing from start to end for 8 hours 
{150 person capacity/maximum vibes}

the demonstration for Doka was the 3rd exclusive 
edition of dirtyblends entitled: ⚙️🎛 TecHnique ⚙️🎛 
further showcasing musical blueprints of all rare chicago 
tracks both old and new, plus many NEW tracks unheard 
from dirtyblends along with raw disco, funk and edits all 
over and in between like the days of old in chicago diving 
deep into the ghosts of Ron Hardy at the Music Box, 
Liaisons Dangereuses at the Hacienda, NEW music 
from Nation and Kode plus INSANE unreleased treasures 
from Prince come together to raise the room’s musical 
temperature and awareness that was a self-evident 
spiritual experience, illumination, truth, emotional depth 
and suspension of time.

this demonstration has lots of new music to come from several 
releases we won’t announce just yet but what has been provided 
in this document is hours upon hours that is literally all over the 
rhythm 🎵 scales ⚖️

this was an intimate connection to the dance floor..

The Jak Presents DirtybLends Demonstration III: Technique

Up next in our mix series is Berlin based Dutch-Italian recording and performing artist Grand River (@grandriver). Interview (excerpt) down below.

MFM: Hi Aimée. In the musical landscape nowadays it often seems to be all about the final result (or product even) rather than the process and path before it. With your music it feels that it's more about the process of making rather than the final outcome. Where does your profound interest for experimenting with audio and composing come from?
 
GR: Nice to hear that you see it that way and to know that it may be perceived like this from the outside as well. The work itself and how we experience the process is what matters most. It’s not always easy to be mindful about how everything is created along the way. The end result or end product is important, but if you don’t enjoy the process of how you get there, I don’t think it makes much sense to even undertake the journey. And of course this applies to many aspects of life.
 
MFM: You've got a rich experience in doing technical work for and at radio stations and with other kinds of media. Did you have someone to teach you all the ins & outs of audio and technical production?
 
GR: Most of the technical work I learned directly through working as I did not go to any audio school to study sound design or audio engineering. When I started to work as an audio engineer for radio stations and other media outlets 13-14 years ago, there were not many audio schools like there are now. Back then, the people I worked with were mainly composers that had learned audio engineering on their own, just as I had. However, as a child, I was formally taught music theory and musical instruments. That, of course, came long before the technical work.
 
MFM: Your first official release dates are from 2017 but you had been active with experimenting, composing, and recording for a much longer time already. At what point did you find yourself confident and pleased enough to share your productions with the outside world?
 
GR: When I moved to Berlin in 2015 I took the first few years to research and study the sound I wanted to express and felt a connection to. Long before that, I was building and playing other genres. It takes time to find your sound and style, and the interesting part is that it continues to evolve over time. Even when you think you’ve found it, it still changes slightly.
 
MFM: Do you go to the studio religiously, regardless of whether you feel inspired or motivated? Do you have a certain routine when working in the studio?  
 
GR: I don’t go to the studio religiously, at least not to make music. 
I do work every day, but often I am just sitting in my studio listening to music, writing emails, or having meetings. Many people don’t know how much work is behind a project. From the outside, what you see is just the tip of the iceberg. I mostly compose in phases; I might compose a lot for two months and then the next month I will be focused on researching, or preparing a live show, recording a mix like I did for you, or creating a sound installation. I need time to absorb what I compose and let it rest, and then get back to it.
 
MFM: Are there any new projects that you're working on and can share with us? 
 
GR: I am working on several beautiful projects at the moment. This year I am working on different collaborations of which the releases will follow in the near future. I have a new album coming out either at the end of the year or beginning of 2023. I am currently working on an immersive installation and I will also be premiering a new AV show with the visual artist Marco Ciceri this summer.

MFM Mix 041: Grand River

Lena Willikens doesn’t play the hits. When she’s behind the decks, even her biggest fans often have no idea exactly what she’s playing, and that’s part of the magic. Like all DJs, Willikens of course has a passion for records, but she’s also after something bigger, something that’s truly transportive for those on the dancefloor.

Born and raised in Germany, Willikens first honed her unique approach during a long residency at Düsseldorf’s beloved Salon des Amateurs. These days, however, she’s based in Amsterdam, where her transportative impulses have been plugged into a variety of outlets with a global reach. On the radio, she pilots the monthly Lightning Conductor program on NTS. On record, she recently curated the fifth installment of Dekmantel’s acclaimed Selectors compilation series, and she’s also been tapped to remix the likes of Lena Platonos, S U R V I V E, rRoxymore, Simian Mobile Disco and Ana Helder, amongst others. On stage, Willikens works with artist Sarah Szczesny on Phantom Kino Ballett, an immersive audio-visual performance art project that defies routine explanation.

Still, it’s in the DJ booth where Willikens continues to make the biggest impact. Whether she’s playing alone or in tandem with fellow sonic explorer and Salon des Amateurs alum Vladimir Ivkovic, Willikens nimbly navigates electronic music’s darkest and most bizarre corners, sampling different temperatures, different moods and a dollop of chaos, just to keep things interesting. And although she herself doesn’t always know the final destination, when Willikens is at the helm, there’s no question that the journey is bound to be thrilling.

Azu Tiwaline invite Lena Willikens - 03 Juillet 2022

For the September edition of the Dummy Hand mix series, we gladly welcome long time resident at Salon des Amateurs in Düsseldorf and the man behind Offen Music, Vladimir Ivkovic. Slowed down and chugged out the mix takes shape as something aching for repeat listens, ridden with oddities and obscurities, all sewn together with the crisp precision of someone at the top of their craft. 

Fit for a lovely Friday night, get involved.

This month marks the third anniversary of Bright Patterns. Oliver Chapoy aka The Spiral aka Certain Creatures aka that dude from Shai Hulud aka one of the best humans joins me for this birthday celebration, where we dug into our shared love for organic instruments. Expect guitars, pianos, vocals, and a pile of percussion. Years ago, Oliver was the one who told me “You’ll never be ready, you just gotta do it” the first time he asked me to play on The Lot. I’m honored to share this show with the friend who gave me the push I needed. Look where we are now! 

Thank you all for listening these last three years. Be sure to tune into Oliver’s long-running show, Sensoria, with Clay Wilson every Thursday when there’s a Bright Patterns! While BP kicks things off one day a month, they close it out from 10pm–12am ET on The Lot Radio.
