Latvia's Nicolas Barnes brings his classy production skills to the latest Devilish Affair courtesy of this double single "Taril Metroma" EP.

Speed is one of the most important things in space. Everything seems to be measured by it with events that happen at mind-boggling long durations. On earth, humans are so concerned about the speed of things. Everything has to be fast. The way we access information. The time it takes to buy something. We are even worried on how long we wait in our cars behind someone else who is also waiting. If only we could travel at light-speed. Yet in space, light-speed is like snail trying to circumvent the earth.

As a special treat, the label and producer have gathered up a few industry producers to weigh in with their own interpretations. 'Taril Metroma' moves along at a perfect speed. Nicolas knows that this pace works for the day or night. It also works for clubs and home listening. It is the ideal tempo for the universal appreciation of techno. Sophilia's remix brings a more serious attitude to the subject. There is a more intense direction that this one makes while the label familiar Eric Louis, creates his rendition of the track to be more groovy, atmospheric and melodic. The original version of 'Blind Habit' is addictive, driving and determined to get people to the dancefloor. The two remixes do not veer far from that focus. Massiel's alternate is a great combination of flighty. techy and up-beat yet, devilishly wicked. Eric Louis is also featured here too. His remix is a devastating burner for the peak times of any club set. All three of these are great additions to any DJs tracklist.

LIVE 179 | OLLIE DRUMMOND | 09.05.2024

This session was retrospective at the time that I mixed it, a living room session from 2014 - of music we used to play on the Australian East Coast in the 2000s. 

Here's the story:

I was at home one afternoon 2014. I'd had my first baby, and while I'd been mixing some very fresh minimal using Traktor timecode vinyl, I had not mixed from my record bags for a few years. It felt really good to flip through our favourite records once again. This is a collection of just a few of our most special tracks from our early Motion:Theory:Music years - primarily at our 8 year Saturday night residency at Elsewhere on the Gold Coast from the early 2000s, a night which we started as the club opened - created by the incredible Simmy and Benny.  

The club won 'Best Music for a Club in Australia' at the Sydney Bar Music Awards during our time there when Ben was Musical Director. We were told our deep underground vibes could not work on the coast, but we remained true to the sound and never played 'down' to the audience, instead bringing an integrity to their flashing dancefloor, alongside the other residents Audun and Giv.   

I speak of Ben Abrahams, my musical partner, and father of our 2 boys.  He is one of Australia's early East Coast djs, & is much respected among djs & punters; he coined the phrase 'blurring the line between house & techno'.  Around 2000, he became resident of the infamous outdoor party Earthcore, bringing clubby sounds to the forest ravers, primarily used to trance music.  He had a Saturday night and Sunday night residency at Onesixone that went off' all in the days before social media.  

Most of these tracks we have danced to SOOO many times from 1998 through to 2009, so they effect my body memory intensely. Such memories of epic nights dancing for hours and hours and hours with all my friends; we had such authentic connections, so regularly, and then our intimate group moved onto our house to continue djing all of Sunday. I feel so lucky to have experienced that time. The bongos, the dubby basslines, the clubby vibes, the few super scratchy records, all make me get tingly and emotional.  I used to call the tracks I was drawn to play 'sideways house'.   

Ben played 5 hour vinyl sets every Saturday night for this extended period, and his mastery is well known.  Some of these are Ben's records, but became the basis for my set: stored in my record box. Ben is so clever at combining the best of the old with the new, & our appreciation of music is at the core of our connection, as it is with all our friends, old & new.  

For Ben's mixes, which are all incredible, listen here:

Interview

Two Italians step into the Bordello. Both are armed. Their weapons of choice? The synthesizer sounds of italo, new beat and wave. LVCA and Otis have been raised on the sounds of their homeland, adopting its analogue sound while adapting it to their own style. The result is a brooding mix of addictive lines and vocoder fire. “Ritmo Electronico” opens with a steel-edged snare driving smeared synths through the city dusk, robotic lyrics menace this sleazy neon-stained scene of cracked mirrorballs and flaring machines. Listeners are pulled into the underbelly of A Promise In The Cold Night with the murky “Tanzen”. Alex Vincent’s words are shrouded in glitch, bright burbling bars and a clean clap offering a path of light to help the listener navigate their way. The true coldness of the night arrives with the stabbing keys of “Synthesised Emotion”. Through a haze of hi-hats, an electrical smoke of blacks and greys fizz with juddering volts as passions pour through cable and wire. That haze grows thick in the close. Through a mist of distortion, a “Sphere Of Light” penetrates. Pin-pricks of percussion are dowsed in aquatic tones before a syrup of static is poured across proceedings, lost vocals ghost in this fog of bending bodies and forms.

art:cast special by Uncanny Valley mixed + compiled by Conrad Kaden

Dresden-based label Uncanny Valley has been a purveyor of high quality, forward-thinking releases over the past decade, propped up by a four-piece, or four-man rather, Soundsystem that is just as enterprising when governing dancefloors in various b2/3/4b conjunctions. Since coming together back in 2009, Albrecht Wassersleben, Carl Suspect, Conrad Kaden and Philipp Demankowski have kept their label and DJ quartet in tact, juggling regular lives by day, running everything UV at night, treading the waves of electronic music over the years and always figuring out a way to move forward, together. Whether as Uncanny Valley Soundsystem or as individual artists, Albrecht, Carl, Conrad and Philipp are full of knowledge and ideas, and when asked about clubbing, AI, Dresden, human interaction among other topics, the boys have plenty of interesting things to say.
