069 - Richard Dorfmeister ‎– A Different Drummer Selection (2003)

ESSENTIAL MIX - JAN 2009
Uploaded on 17.01.10 and exclusive to SoundCloud. Available for the first time without voiceovers and jingles,12 months on from original Radio 1broadcast on 17.01.09.


EMAILSHOT A FEW DAYS AHEAD OF MIX BEING AIRED:
2009 kicks in for me this weekend with my first gig of the year for Udio (1st birthday) at The Gramaphone Club in Shoreditch, London on Friday night, which coincides with the airing of my only just completed in the nick of time Essential Mix on Radio 1, made up of 43 tracks in just under 2 hours.

Given that the 5th anniversary of my DJ comeback has only just passed, I decided to take the opportunity to make the mix totally representative of this period, with all the selections being amongst the biggest tracks I’ve played since I made my second debut at Music Is Better in Manchester.

Five years represents a significant package of time, a fixed point from where I can reflect on what’s been a continually snowballing sequence of events, set in motion when Danny Webb asked me to appear in Manchester on that December night back in 2003.

There were less than 100 people there that night, but they were the right people, and I was taken aback by the response to my return, both on the night itself and during subsequent days, when people who were there began to post on the forums. I’d never expected all the feedback be so totally positive!

I’d figured that I’d play that night, using the combination of laptop and reel-to-reel for the first time, then go away and think about what worked and what didn’t before I made my next move. I would never have believed that things could come together so immediately, it was as if I’d hit a completely unexpected hole in one, especially when two of the people who were there, Ralph Lawson, DJ from Back To Basics in Leeds, and one of my fellow DJ’s that night, Richard Hardcastle (Solid State) from Society in Sheffield, both asked me to play at their nights no sooner had I finished my spot.

One thing kept leading to another and, in Sheffield, I was approached by Tony Daly to play at the now legendary Tyneside Cinema party in Newcastle, a bespoke event where he took on the substantial risk of presenting me in a city I’d never DJ’d in previously (unless you count the 1983 TV appearance on The Tube, which was filmed in the Tyne Tees studio). Then, of course, there was London, where Steve Kotey and Bill Brewster booked me for their parties, bringing me to the capital within the first few months of my return for Ouch and Low Life.

The bookings kept coming, and I found myself driving up and down the country on an increasingly regular basis. Later in 2004 I was approached by Sav Remzi, from Tirk / Nuphonic, with the idea of putting together an edits album, which would be issued the following year as ‘Credit To The Edit’. This would help bring my name to the attention of people outside the UK. There was soon a need to step things up further, now that I was receiving enquiries from Europe, and so began a fruitful relationship with my agent, Matt Johnson (Matty J), who’s done a wonderful job of representing me during recent years.

The last few months have been, to say the least, manic for me, with 25 flights, including 6 long haul, taking me to gigs in the US, Japan, Australia, Brazil and Europe. From a personal perspective I still find it remarkable the way everything has developed, pretty much organically, since I made the decision that I was going to be a DJ once again – had I concocted some sort of comeback masterplan, it could never have worked out anything like as well as it has. It’s definitely been a case of ‘from small acorns’.

It still never ceases to amaze me that people from another continent are interested in my DJ past. Back in the early 80’s, before I went into retirement for 20 years, the furthest I travelled (with the exception of the appearances I made in the South of England as part of The Hacienda Review in late ’83) was to places like Birmingham and Nottingham, when I played at All-Dayers, so to find myself in clubs on the other side of the world is pretty nuts!

Anyhow, I’d like to wish everyone all the best for 09. Big thanks to all the promoters who booked me and everyone who danced to the tunes I played during ’08 in Adelaide, Barcelona, Belfast, Berlin, Birmingham, Blackburn, Brighton, Bristol, Dublin, Dundee, Edinburgh, Fukuoka, Glasgow, Hamburg, Leeds, Lisbon, Liverpool, London, Los Angeles, Manchester, Melbourne, Milan, New York, Newcastle, Nottingham, Paris, Porto Alegre, San Francisco, Sao Paulo, Sheffield, Sydney, Tokyo and Warsaw. Also the festivals and special events that I appeared at - Bestival (Isle Of Wight), Big Chill (England), Camp Bestival (England), Garden Festival (Croatia), Ibiza, Lovebox (England), Notting Hill Carnival (England), Rockness Festival (Scotland), Sonar (Spain) and the Southport Weekender (England).

Hope to see you soon.

Greg


FORUM POST DURING FOLLOWING DAYS:                                                        
Thanks for all the positive words. The feedback has been pretty phenomenal, far exceeding what I’d hoped for, especially on the BBC page, where I’d expected that some people would criticize the amount of older music included - the Radio 1 audience is used to current stuff ('in new music we trust'), so I’d anticipated a more mixed reaction. What’s particularly pleasing is that they were all made without the people seeing what each other wrote (they all came online at once, having been checked first by whoever moderates the BBC pages, I presume for swearing etc following the Ross / Brand controversy).

You always hope something you've done will be well received, but the response to this has blown me away.

ANSWER TO POST RE MIXING PROCESS:                                                      
It was quite a laborious process. Before I could start the actual mixing part I had to edit every track to a coherent length of around two and a half minutes average, inclusive of in and out points. I had a pool of about 90 tracks that fitted the criteria I'd set (a representative selection of the biggest tunes I've been playing during the past 5 years). It wasn't as straightforward as just editing the 43 tracks I ended up featuring - in order to have the necessary options once I started to piece the mix together I needed to have all the tracks at my disposal, just as I would have if I was out deejaying in a club, so the only thing to do was edit all 90 to the required length, even though I knew that only half would make the cut .

Once that was finally done they were all taken across into my laptop, enabling me to vari-speed them via PCDJ whilst I recorded across to my home computer into Cool Edit Pro, where I put the mix together track by track, before adding overdubs (fx, samples, textures) in a similar way to what I do live using the Revox (reel to reel).

I could quite easily have spent another day, tweaking bits here and there and adding more overdubs (the older I get the more finicky I become), but I had a deadline to work to, so, as it moved ever nearer, it became a race against time, with me doing as much as I could before the cut off point arrived.

Greg Wilson - 2009


ESSENTIAL MIX (by greg wilson for bbc radio 1 2009)

For our next release we are treated with a diverse 4-track EP by Ghettofaust. After his first appearance on the label last month we are excited to announce his 'End Of The Earth' EP. A diverse yet synth-driven EP showcasing the diversity Ghettofaust is capable of. Starting off we have 'Zugzwang', a mellow dub-infused groovy house track. Following is the title track 'End Of The Earth'. Spooky pads, classic house stabs & a solid warm bassline, the perfect recipe for a proper house record. Diving deeper into the EP we are greeted by the synth-infused techno track 'Mea Culpa'. A bit reminiscent of older Vince Watson productions, the tune layers a lot of different elements together creating an atmospheric & melodic rhythmic record, the true definer of Ghettofaust's style & abilities. Rounding off the EP we stay in the techno area with 'Feierabend'. Proper grooves, dubby stabs and a latin guitar to give the track an unusual twist. 'End Of The Earth' is out on all major platforms on the 29th of August.

Late Night Tales Groove Armada

Another visitor makes his way down the iron staircase to the 2Sox basement HQ, this time in the form of one of Glasgow's most trusted selectors, Laurence Hughes.

He and fellow house (and techno, and electro) expert Tom Churchill have been busy recently making very fine tunes together as The Nuclear Family - https://soundcloud.com/the_nuclear_family. Their self released 12"s are two of 2Sox' absolute favourite belter records of the last year. Be sure to check them out. Laurence's production credits go back as far as 2002, under the Elijah moniker on Jason Brunton's Iridite label. Tom founded the Headspace and Emoticon labels, which produced many a stellar release by himself and the likes of Dan Curtin, Future Beat Alliance and Marco Bernardi.

Laurence has been a resident at many a club night in Glasgow over the years, including the legendary Traxx night alongside our previous DTS guest Jamie Thomson. He takes massive pleasure in discovering, playing and discussing electronic music new and old. You'll normally have a screed of mental notes after hearing a set, and this mix will be no exception. It's also worth noting that he will teach you a thing or two about, and whip your arse at, table tennis.

About the CD:
005 of the 'Classic Mix CD' collection brings a much slower affair. From the superb 'Back To Mine' CD series. The first I purchased was actually Danny Tenaglia's disc, which I bought out of curiosity being a fan of his house DJ sets. That disc almost made it here, but it was the Groove Armada release which really got hammered on my old Sony stereo. No other disc reminds me of lazy summer sundays more than this. And it was really the first musical selection that steered me towards collecting and playing a mix of music all together. Going from A Tribe Called Quest, into Barry White's incredible "Playing Your Game Baby" then house and other genre's coming in.... really resonated with me and elevated the way I put music together. Both listening to and playing out. A truly seminal release.

005 - Back To Mine - Groove Armada (2000)

A follow-up to December's selection of mid-90s Detroit-influenced UK techno, this time featuring some US producers in the form of Carl Craig, Kenny Larkin and Abacus alongside the likes of As One, Stasis and Black Dog. Deep and timeless music for heads and feet.

NB: As before, these are all recorded from well-worn vinyl, so apologies for the occasional snap, crackle and pop.

As One - Shambala (Buzz, 1993)
Stasis - So-lar (Time Is Right, 1993)
Psyche - Elements (Planet E, 1989)
Abacus - Relics (Prescription, 1994)
Kenny Larkin - Butterflies (R&S, 1995)
Repeat - Lilt-A (A13, 1995)
Nuron - Eau Rouge (Likemind, 1996)
La Synthesis - Agraphobia (Plink Plonk, 1994)
Black Dog Productions (Atypic) - Otaku (Rising High, 1992)

Golden Era Techno Part 2

Another selection of mainly UK techno from the early to mid-90s. On this one there's a slightly more uptempo/dancefloor feel (in the middle section at least), with some deep grooves from the Pure Plastic/Plaid family, LFO's Mark Bell in his Clark guise, a soulful techno masterpiece from Inertia (aka A Guy Called Gerald), and a raw heater from Neuropolitique on Irdial. Recorded from vinyl once again with authentic grit.

Luke Slater’s 7th Plain - Time Melts (GPR, 1994)
Mark Broom & Dave Hill - Weather (Pure Plastic, 1995)
Neuropolitiue - Fusion-Neu (Irdial Discs, 1992)
Ismistik - Flowcharts Remade (Djax-Up-Beats, 1995)
Inertia - Nowhere to Run (Retroactive, 1990) 
Eco Tourist - Downtown Chic (Rewired, 1995)
Ed Handley - Nine Open (Pure Plastic, 1995)
Clark - Christo (Planet E, 1995) 
Balil - Rosery Pilots (Rising High, 1993)
Russ Gabriel - Airborne  (Input Neuron Musique, 1995)

Golden Era Techno Part 3

Tom Churchill provides the 3rd guest mix.

Tom emerged in 1996 via his own label, Headspace Recordings, which went on to feature several of his productions as well as releases from Dan Curtin, Derek Carr & Sean Deason, among others. Together with sister label, Emoticon, Headspace established itself as an eminent UK label, and their releases are still sought after to this day.

Both labels ceased trading in 2006, and after a break from music production, Tom finally returned and has recently been releasing as part of a duo - The Nuclear Family.

Check the links below for new music, and be sure to listen to his recent stand-out trio of 'Golden Era Techno' mixes.
