Synth Music

Al Mackenzie has been DJing and making music for the best part of 30 years now, having residencies in the early 90s at London’s Brain Club and the legendary Love Ranch, worldwide chart success with his band, D:ream, in the mid-nineties, then moving to Birmingham where he started his own night, Retroforward, eventually buying his own venue and running that for a few years.

Al has now resurrected Retroforward, booking such guests as Andrew Weatherall, Sean Johnston, Paranoid London, Lauer, Mark Seven, Idjut Boys, Joe Morris & Pete Herbert, and his new ‘band’, Field Of Dreams, have had vinyl releases on Pleasure Unit and their own label with remixes by Andrew Weatherall, Justin Robertson, Pete Herbert and Mind Fair. Their remix of Les Crocodiles’ La Nuit Des Tropiques was championed by Andrew Weatherall and Sean Johnson at their popular ALFOS nights and received critical acclaim from all corners. FoD also released an EP on Tici Taci, remixed for Sons Of Slough, Bedford Falls Players, KaaN, Jump and Future Unit to date with more to follow, no doubt. 

He now hosts a very popular bi-weekly radio show on Brighton’s 1btn which should be checked out, playing an eclectic mix of new music from jazz to acid house and just about anything in between D:ream also have a new album out which has been very well received, which will see them playing festivals and venues all over the world this year.

Counterterraism Guest Mix 279: Al Mackenzie

"Hear ye, hear ye! What news doth arrive? Last year's Inaugural Evil Barons Weekender was a spectacle to behold! The music, the people, the sound system, and the venue did combine to form a wondrous feast for the senses! This year, I am eagerly anticipating to return and play again, where the sun shines in the day for rest and reprieve, while at night one may dance their socks off to the rhythm of the Wonky Acid House Disco Beats! Come hither and join us, good friends, for merriment and revelry await!"

Dark Spaces

'Panthera returns to Bordello, their identity still shrouded in secrecy. Following on from the four tracks of Synthesizer Hits, this unknown entity is back with a further quarter for Synthesizer Hits Vol. 2. Rich melodies and pulsing percussion characterise the infectious “Demon”. Key shifts and samples linger as textured toms and crisp snares keep the energy high. The tempo lowers for the considered “Stallion”. Bright and hopeful bars ascend before breaking to shimmering dawn. The juddering arpeggios and drum rolls of “Newlook” draw us back to the dancefloor. Melodies glow overhead in this celestial composition. The finale is steeped in the unforgettable tradition of italo. A heartwarming tribute to spaghetti dance, Panthera delivers an addictive rift, sparking synthwork and rhythms that are crisp. A perfect end by an artist who is garnering deserved attention amongst the faithful.'

Next up in our mix series, "Ears to the Underground", is the amazing Nevena Stankovic.

Nevena Stankovic aka Tsunamica is a digger, selector, vinyl collector, journalist, radio host, DJ, party starter... but above all, an absolute music lover with a PhD in Political Science from Belgrade, Serbia.
     Her interest in music began very early, as a child, she started to play the piano and completed music school. Her love for music developed rapidly as well as modern technology, the piano was soon replaced by turntables and music consoles. 

     If we have to choose a word that represents her style and vision, that would be “eclectic”. She plays whatever suits her at the moment, her sound is seductive that goes from the most elegant downtempo and chillout to deep hypnotic and Balearic beats. Passing through a slow-burning cosmic disco, acid house, and freaky space sounds ‘till explosive Italo bombs and late 70s and 80s the wildest disco and Yugo jewels which is resulting in a cosmic mixture that makes her sets a real interplanetary experience.

She likes to blend genres and epochs, strong beats with smooth acid-tinged melodies, traditional and ethnic with modern and tribal sounds. Her exotic downtempo and slo-mo selections are influenced by a multitude of cultures from around the world. A fusion of musical styles and her solar mood are always keeping her in good vibes and well connected with the club crowds, whilst the club scene is paying attention to what comes next on her turntables. 

 DJ-ing for more than 10 years and involved in the underground music scene for over 15 years, there are no Dj names of the scene's prime movers and shakers that she has not been involved alongside with them in some way - hosting, djing, promoting.
 Inspired by true visionaries and learned from the bests such as Jose Padilla,  Andrew Weatherall  her selections and mixing are skillful, recognizable and very unique, guided by the heart.

  Currently, she is broadcasting a weekly radio show about Balearic and Chillout music, named The Sunset Lovers on Ibiza radio, where she is showcasting regular mixes from high-caliber guests. She is also hosting another resident show 'Cosmic Carousel' on radio D59B, where she is presenting more obscure cosmic disco records taking her audience on real intergalactic journeys.

Behavior

tici taci - bringing you electric funk rekkids at tempos below 120 bpm. No pre-packed freeze dried loops here, all tracks have live instruments well to the fore, from funky wah-wah guitars and deep chunky bass to temperamental analogue synthesisers and live percussion.

Now 2 years later (July 2015) we're at 23 releases from a range of artists and remixers, with one release scheduled each month.


Duncan Gray (biog) : Perhaps best known as one half of the Sons of Slough along with Ian Weatherall - see discogs entry for details of releases. The Sons were a formidable Live act (see You tube) playing regularly across the UK. DG's own releases also gained some popularity, starting with cuts for Scatological (1996) Blue Black, Whole9Yards, SaltHill, through to Aquamelon (2009). Since returning to music production in 2013 he has released tracks on NEIN, Eskimo, Blindetonation, Play Pal, Rock to The Beat, plus Andrew Weatherall's vinyl only Birdscarer label. He has played guitar on half a dozen AW remixes.

Yes, I do want to hear new tracks. I am always interested in music which features REAL INSTRUMENTS - or electronic originality. I'm getting fussy these days...please email files to the email address above. (don't just send a soundcloud link please) If you don't know what the sound of this label is like, don't bother sending me stuff. I get quite a few demos with a note saying "I love the sound of your label" from producers who have clearly never listened to any of our releases.

PLEASE NOTE : 2020 release schedule now full, but I can always make room for something spectacular, or a really cool remix...
