Ambient techno etc.

The latest podcast sees Petrola 80 bosses @lyravalenza take a restrained approach while placing specific focus on their local Copenhagen scene.

A collaboration between longstanding friends Jens Konrad and Hjalte Lehman, the LV blueprint transcends genre. It’s day-glo rave ordnance that draws from eurodance, techno and the so-called hardcore continuum – nostalgic and undeniably fwd-facing at once.

Distilling the euphoria of their live sets into 8 distinct tracks, debut full-length ‘Low Gear No Pressure’ spanned everything from blissed ambience to precision-tooled breakbeats and trance-tinged jungle. Dipping into downtempo territory for the first time, it also represented a broadening of their already eclectic palette, and this mix certainly continues in that vein.
 
“Our recent DJ appearances and mixes have been hazy peak-hour sets, so here, we wanted to dive a little deeper and explore slower BPMs and tracks we rarely get the chance to play out, combined with tunes we usually play in the beginning of our sets. It’s also the first time we chose to work with a strict gender balance between the featured artists and producers. And as usual we focused on the booming Copenhagen scene, this time including local artists such as Gavnlig, Muskila, Capitana, DJ Paydar and Mbizo.” – Lyra Valenza

@preciousmetalsx founder @therealendgame, AKA “the devil himself”, in the building for the latest podcast.

Co-founding the now-defunct Bala Club to launching Precious Metals, the NTS mainstay is one of London’s foremost underground operators: a prolific producer, DJ and label owner that counts the likes of Kamixlo, Yayoyanoh and Organ Tapes among his closest peers and collaborators. 

Committed to platforming emerging artists, no stone is left unturned in his label’s pursuit of dysfunction and emotive-driven, genre-bending cross-pollination. It’s music that draws from the chaos of the urban complex; intense, visceral, sometimes nocturnal, and, on occasion, violent in the extreme.

And where his own productions straddle the line between severe electronics, drill abstraction and Latinx styles, this mix treads a similar path. 

“The mix is the soundtrack to a inward spiral - propelled towards the blessed chaos of our inner most desires and fears, entwined in sacred rapture.” – ENDGAMƎ

NYC scene figurehead and podcast contributor Ex Wiish keeps things horizontal with a 45-minute exercise in total immersion. 

We're gassed to have the 29 Speedway founder on board for this one. Something of a luminary in the Big Apple scene, the sound artist and composer has grown increasingly experimental with age, culminating in  a widescreen debut for Anthony Naples' Incienso label.

Where that album oscillated between windswept arrangements, lacerating IDM and downbeat styles, his mix taps into the same vein of transcendent, meditative experimentalism. 

“For this mix I wanted to feature tracks by some of the artists who have recently been involved with 29 Speedway on tour alongside music I’ve found inspiring as of late. Picks from Flora Yin Wong, Lauren Duffus, Yolabmi, Eric Frye, bod [包家巷], KMRU, Exael and some other favourites”. – Ex Wiish

Gassed to have arch futurist and @polaarsounds founder @flore on the podcast series.

As the brains behind a label constantly upending expectations and convention, the Lyon native has achieved cult status among discerning music heads. If you haven’t checked the POLAAR output, not to mention Flore’s own productions, you only have yourself to blame. It’s curation without compromise, defined by a voracious appetite for innovation.

Flexing a commitment to reckless abandon and clubwise experimentation, the mix treads a similar path. Bassbin accelerators and hardcore torque in abundance. 

“This mix is a collection of new and old tracks that represent my current mood: a mixture of introspection and excitement. In a few days we are starting the celebration of the 10th anniversary of my POLAAR label with a party at the Machine du Moulin Rouge in Paris (one of the biggest we have ever organised).

It proved the perfect occasion to delve back into the archives and it was surprisingly pleasant to see how far we have come. It’s also an opportunity to think about the new creative directions we want to take in the years to come. I've made the selection while working on this, and I think the mix reflects that state of mind.” - Flore

Gauzy bliss-out and pop abstraction to forward-facing dancefloor pressure, @imgonebaby founder Jetty (@mystictearz) delivers the 131st podcast. 

67 engrossing minutes from a real one. Definitely the handiwork for the brains behind a label that trades in the tender, mutant, smudged and sublime.

“Sometimes I’m catering to the imaginary techno-industrial board of directors… sometimes my eyes are closed and my brain is smooth. This one has been Schwinn and Salt Marsh approved - the true test of pure intent. All glory goes to the producers behind the songs I stitched together.” – Jetty

INTERVIEW: http://truantsblog.com/2015/truancy-volume-109-leif

Now we’re fully alive and kicking in 2015 we’ve got another treat lined up for you for our second Truancy Volume of the year. If you’ve been lucky enough to catch Freerotation resident and UntilMyHeartStops label co-head Leif Knowles DJ before you’ll know all about his ability to craft an atmosphere with his sets. If you haven't, not to worry, as there's plenty of Leif to dig into. His label UntilMyHeartStops, which he runs with Joe Ellis, has had a stellar few years housing the likes of Joey Anderson, Freerotation co-founder Steevio and Truancy Volume 65 creator October. Leif's guest slot alongside Joe Ellis on Ben UFO's Rinse FM show was named as one of the best mixes of the year by Resident Advisor and having him on board is a definite cause for excitement for us.

In terms of releases, Leif's debut LP Dinas Oleu on Fear of Flying was one of the finest albums of 2013, coming a solid decade after he started releasing music. With it we were offered his vision of just how luscious and personal deep house can be. As his multitude of EPs and singles he's released since 2003 prove, most recently his Nour & Light EP on Sudden Drop, Leif's sound is as comfortable on headphones as it is on a system. It was a no-brainer for us, then, to bring him in to offer up the 109th edition in our mix series. We're extremely excited to share this Truancy Volume as Leif has given us a delightfully varied and ascending mix as the perfect antidote to the chilly weather. This is one you'll keep coming back to.

Interview with @jonnynash:

"The mix was recorded in the UK a few weeks ago.. It’s a selection of new stuff that I have been enjoying.. If my memory serves me correctly there are tracks from Alter Ego, Suzanne Kraft, Maizena and the Regelbau crew.. oh yeah, and also a Tambien remix of my “Land of Light” project that has just come out on ESP Institute."

Working from his hallowed Stockholm bunker with Studio Barnhus label mates Petter Nordqvist and Kornel Kovacs, Swedish art graduate Axel Boman makes music with a rare sense of charm, wit, and humour. In both EP and LP format, he focusses on playful and curious atmospheres, kinked grooves and left of centre sampling. When not making earwormy dance music, in the past he has been found synthesising sound with nuclear physicists as The Radioactive Orchestra and also works on more clubby fair with John Talabot as Talaboman. His sets, too, are just as joyous and off beat, and are as effective for trippy after hour sessions as they are for peak time parties.  

The one hour selection the singular selector cooks up here is something of a curveball, full of unexpected twists and turns that showcase a breadth and depth of his influences whilst sounding perfect for Spring time. It's an effortlessly jaunt through freewheeling melodies, excitable disco groovers and breezy, swinging house all peppered with classics, singalong vocals and feel good gems. Well balanced so as to not be all too sugary, the far ranging mix is another wondrous window into the colourful world of one of house music’s most likeable and easy going characters.

Established in Stockholm by Mad Mats and Tooli almost six years ago, Local Talk was born from the pair's undying love for house music.

In this label mix from Tooli, you can expect a tracklist spanning from brand new productions on Local Talk, through to forgotten house gems the pair have nestled up on their Local Talk sub-division, “1nce Again”, where Tooli and Mats re-purpose back-in-the-day classics via new mixes and reworks.

Selected Electroacoustic Compositions and Field Recordings (i-CRACKED)

There are no two ways about it: Sydney native @leojamessounds (AKA Leo Thomson) has helped to shape the landscape of Australian electronic music in the 21st Century. Formerly one half of modular duo Canyons, he released music on labels like Modular Recordings and DFA Records alongside co-conspirator Ryan Grieve, and together they also ran the Hole In The Sky imprint. Active until 2011, the label served as a platform for some of Australia's finest emerging talent; from Jacques Renault to Bell Towers, even releasing some early Tame Impala material along the way. Now stepping out on his own, 2015 saw his first solo outing as Leo christened his own Body Language label with two cuts of EBM-infected techno.

With the roots of Australian electronic music steeped in a tradition of noise, industrial and EBM,  @neubauwien seems the perfect destination for his new material. Aiming to explore "brutalism in music," the Viennese label Neubau are set to welcome Leo into the fold with a brand new EP, so in turn we asked the man himself if he would like to contribute to our podcast series. He duly obliged, delivering an hour-long blend that borders on brooding, atmospheric and at times, even plain eerie. Immersive as they're likely to come, ethereal, dubby textures become transportive and brain-cleansing, like the slow ascent to some sort of higher plain.

The 'What Happened To You EP' is out November 7th on Neubau.

Deep within the hills of Italy lay a great temple. It's golden ceiling glimmered from above as it poked its head through the mystical treetops. Inside the temple lay paintings showcasing decades of history and art. It lay undiscovered and unfound, it had sat peacefully tucked away from the world since the war had broken out. One day it would be turned into a pristine tourist attraction and all of the history would be replaced by the marching pitter patter of feet on marble. However, for now it remained still and eerie. 

Enzo Avitabile is remixed by Ransom Note affiliate Bawrut on a new EP for Silencio. He delivers a tropically inspired acid workout complete with percussion and a low end rumble.
