Challenge #24 - Oblique Strategies

@peverelist is one of those artist’s whose legacy is already assured. His labels Punch Drunk and Livity Sound have been at the cutting edge of their own unique musical niches for more than a decade. Fusing their native Bristol’s history of dub, sound system culture and bass, their output deals in endlessly fascinating genre mutations that continue to push electronic music forward. Peverelist’s own captivating rhythms and precise sound designs have always been at the heart of that, bridging the gap between hypnotic techno and heavy bass. 

And that’s the path he heads down on this week’s mix. The one hour selection weaves a thread through all the sounds you’d find in his orbit - stripped back beat science and Gqom, UK funky and mesmeric dub techno. Always stripped back but never devoid of character, this is physical yet meditative music that taps into that deep desire we all have inside: to move to the sound of pounding drums.

"embrace your worst impulse".

My worst impulse is taking too long. From the macro to the micro, it usually takes me at least 5hours for a track.

This, 2.5hrs.

Do Your Worst - Fearless Challenge #24

Submission for Fearless Challenge #24.
My personal challenge was to "Make it More Sensual".

Tol10 - The Rhodes Called

"Don't be afraid of things because they are easy to do"

I interpreted this more as keep it simple. There are less than 10 tracks and everything is duplicated and pitched subtly different from its counterpart. The bass really holds the chords and the melody which I liked, so there was no need for a lead. The space is quiet and a little sparse but I like the simplicity of the track. Nothing too fancy but just a pretty melody and some backing.

The higher pitched part in the second half is my bass but pitched up to be more guitar like. I really like this effect and how you can really sculpt the tone with the complex warping in ableton. 

Enjoy!

Heaven And Earth Are Not Humane

Disco-Renegades. House-Eccentrics. Purveyors of electronic freemasonry. Ok, I might exaggerate a bit here, but the Sex Tags Mania label has been Tagged many things. “They just don’t care”, one fan once said in an interview. Well, they do care, do what they believe in, being die-hard vinyl lovers and all. Ever persistent in their curiosity for new and old sounds, the Norwegians have been running their Bergen-based label since 2004. DJ Sotofett and DJ Fett Burger are also great artists, just take a look at their<a href="http://sextags.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> work</a>. This is a place where the aesthetic of old-school Chicago flyers clashes with black and white mutations of comic heroes of yonder: No wonder their Tag line runs "Graffiti can't be stopped.". DJ Sotofett's mix is an assemblage of some of his  classic house favourites: Be sure not to miss the part where he does his shout-outs in Norwegian.

Nr. 36: DJ Sotofett (Sex Tags Mania)

Dj, producer, vinyl fetishist and lover of raw, deep, soulful house, disco and techno.
