Exist Palestine

DJ Mixes of own released material

steevio

Exist no.18 brings two very special UK artists - Steevio & Duckett

Steevio is a live electronic musician who runs the Freerotation Electronic Music Festival, Mindtours record label, and Freerotation record label with his partner Suzybee. Steevio specialises in live improvisations on an analogue modular synthesizer, and records everything as one off tracks in real time. He also performs live as part of AV duo Steevio & Suzybee in clubs and festivals worldwide.

Duckett is a producer and performer from Wales and a core resident of the renowned festival Freerotation. Releasing on labels including Until My Heart Stops, Freerotation, Wisdom Teeth, Greta Cottage Workshop, Galdoors, Bercuise Heroique, etc his music is difficult to pin down but sits somewhere on the edge of house, techno, ambient and experimental.

He hosts a monthly show on Mutant Radio and is about to launch his own label /platform. Highlights worth checking are his Boiler Room live studio sets and Hessle Audio radio guest appearances.

Steevio's DJ set consists of all his own darker techno and broken techno tunes, mostly vinyl releases, a couple of digital only releases, and a recently recorded live jam. Much of this material hasn’t been used in his mixes before.

Ducketts mix consists of entirely exclusive material comprising some upcoming releases and more predominantly includes some exploratory live studio jams at 90bpm.  All fresh material.

Exist Palestine brings forward the highly talented local artists and the brightest musical visionaries in the global electronic music scene. Exist seeks to build bridges between international artists, Palestinian sound innovators, the many that have been displaced, and musicians who are unable to attend the festival due to politically set testrictions. The lineups consist of artists who participated in Exist Festival 2019 as well as the ones who will be invited to play the next editions.

IS 230 - Steevio [Freerotation, Mindtours]

Some of these tracks now available digitally here;
https://steevio.bandcamp.com/album/selected-techno-works-1997-1999-vol1
This is a raw DJ mix I did in 1999 of my own material and tunes I co-wrote with Charlie Henderson. These were tunes that were released on Roost Records, Torque, Adapted Vinyl and Optimum, under the aliases Mindtours, 3000003 and Free Radicals in the 1990s.
This is the stuff I was playing at Free Festivals and illegal warehouse raves when I first started DJing. (previously I only played live)
It's all very intense and raw, but I think it captures the energy of the free party movement at the time in defiance of the oppression by the UK government post Criminal Justice Act.
All of this music was recorded live using an SH101, Nord Lead, TR909,TB303, Atari ST. My 3000003 stuff was all pure Acid until 1996 when I began drifting away from the TB303, so most of this material has very little 303 in it.

Noods Radio-Freerotation Takeover 29/03/2020 - Steevio

EXIST is back, straight outta Ramallah, Palestine.

howl:

Fed up with the conventional sounds, prejudices & hype-fueled sonic fanaticism of today's music, Turkey-based howl seeks harmony in seemingly contrasting musical ideas; takes her listeners on a dark, dynamic and densely layered aural journey with her DJ sets, meticulously crafted with a selection unbound by genre, tempo, gender, or whatsoever. She's the co-founder of the event series Digital Drugs, a resident of Istanbul's Pixie Underground, and holds a monthly residency on Noods Radio, Bristol.
