techno

Techno craftsman Andrei Morant holds a focus as sharp and abductive as his sound.  A paramount figure in the Houston underground since the early 90s, the North American artist also known as Jack Mackrel quickly established himself as a professional.  Morant started DJing in 1986, and only three years after his first gig in 1990, embarked on his production career.  Over 50 releases later, he is now recognized world round for his catalog of insurgent beats, and is featured on respected labels such as Planet Rhythm Records , Starkstrom Schallplatten, and Gynoid Audio.  Never faltering in his commitment to innovative techno, Morant unleashed a creature of his own machination – Scope Recordings.   His new label and recent production endeavors reflect his weighty history, as well as his knowledge of avant media and style, resulting in a finely tailored, powerful impression.

5 Questions Interview:

1.  You've been around as a DJ for a long time, starting in 1986.  What was the impetus for starting back then and what kind of music were you playing?       

I started playing the drums at a very early age, 3 or 4 years old i think, by the time I was 15 I had really gotten into dance music, being introduced to it by my older brother and his friends, they where avid clubbers and collectors of records. I basically became the resident d.j. at all of their house parties, which where about twice a week.  I was playing all the typical 80's dance tracks from the time.

2.  Fast forward 28 years and here you are, still at it.  In fact, this Studio Session you just played at a certain well known club in Berlin is clear evidence.  How was that show, and in all your time as a DJ, how does it rank?       

It was great, staff is extremely professional and accommodating. The crowd is intense and very responsive, everyone there dances their ass off!!  I will say that playing from 9 am till noon on a Sunday afternoon is a different experience all together.  As far as how I would rank it, man I really have no idea.  I've had so many great gigs over the years, it's really hard to make a list.  But it'd definitely be way up there.

3)  Being involved in DJing and producing Techno for as long as you have, are there times where you've ever wanted to walk away from it?       

Yeah, actually I have walked away twice.  The first time was in about 1993 I quit for about three years, I still dabbled in the studio but was not really active in the music scene. Then in 2004 I quit again, I had extremely busy years before and kind of got burnt out.  The lifestyle is a lot harder then most people imagine.  I think it's important to have a balance  between family life and your music career, and I feel now i can do it the way I want, take the gigs I want, make the music I want ,when I want to.  Music is not my career it's my hobby now and I have a lot more freedom and have a clearer head, no pressure.

 4)  What's your message to people when it comes to staying inspired and interested in all things Techno?         

For me it's just finding those tracks, you know the ones you hear and you say to your self "Well shit, back to the drawing board for me". Those are the thing that keep me inspired.  There are thousands of great techno producers out there and everyone of them is an inspiration to me.

5) Here at From 0-1 we are happy to have you on board as an artist, not only for this exclusive podcast, but also as a remixer for Milkplant's 'This is not Reality' 12" EP coming midyear.  Are there any other notable releases you have in the works you can leak to us right now?

Ha ha, you should have asked me two months ago, I had tons of releases , 'Falling Down' on my imprint Scope Recordings, and 'Density' also on Scope.  A great E.P. 'No Sterile Plans' on Take More Music, also I just had my debut release on Naked Lunch "Game Over".  A remix for DJ Shiva on Different is Different, remix for Unn on Teggno, pretty much all in the last 6 weeks. I do have about 4 E.P.'s I'm compiling for other labels right now but I can't really go into them. Oh! I'm returning to one of my my old label groups run by a very good friend of mine from the late 90's, currently working on some 133 bpm bangers that will be sure to "PUNISH" some dance floors. Very excited about that. All in all i can say that I am having a blast, and really excited about the future.

Mike Gervais - From 0-1 Studio Sessions Vol 072

Richie Hawtin - Even Furthur - 1998 Pt1

There's no doubt in our collective mind that we're right in the middle of the cold and dark season that is winter. Yep, it’s become exceptionally clear that the holiday period is are over but that doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing. No; there's plenty that we can draw from the elements running wild at this time of year. Train yourself to think more in a more positive light, just as Hybrid Recordings boss Cari Lekebusch has done in his latest mix for us. Referencing his homeland's own frozen environment he's put together a selection that injects a tangible yet mystic energy into the fold. It’s also the perfect indicator of what we can expect from his next visit to Farringdon later this month when he joins Terry Francis and Peter Van Hoesen in Room Two.

Mike Gervais (SYSTEM)

背が高く痩せていて青白いMike Gervaisは仕事熱心なアメリカのアーティスト。高度なDJテクニックや、ミネアポリスのアンダーグラウンドカルチャーで個性的かつパワフルなイベントを成功させたこと、そして彼が主宰する〈SYSTEM and Timefog〉を始め、〈Blank Code〉、〈Mistress〉、〈Truncate〉、〈From 0-1〉などのプロダクションを一貫して直向きに攻める姿勢や常に新しいことを行っていることなどから、この20年間で彼の評価は確固たるものとなった。


-Interview-


-このミックスはどちらで収録しましたか？

このミックスはミネアポリスにある”Hush Studios”というところで、少し前のものすごく寒い夜にレコーディングしたんだ。CDJ2台とXone92、あとTraktorのチャンネルを少し使ったシンプルなセットアップで特別なことはしてないよ。


-このミックスのコンセプトがあれば教えてください。

今この瞬間に良いと思った音をスナップショットを撮るような感覚で繋いでいった。


-最近の活動を教えてください。

〈SYSTEM record〉からリリースする予定のEP「the Assailant」の準備をしてるところ。Luis Flores とDoubtがリミックスを担当するんだ。あと他にも3つリリースが決まっている。DVS1の〈Mistress Recordings〉に提供したトラックもそろそろリリースされるころだと思う。この作品に参加できて嬉しく思っているよ。あとレーベルの最終チェックを待っているEPもいくつかあって、早く発表できれば良いなと思ってる。もちろん常に新しい音楽はチェックしていて、最近は特にヴァイナルをチェックしてる。ここ数年は今まで自分がデジタルでプレイしていたトラックのヴァイナルを集めているよ。

DJ Set - H-Productions Vs Obsculex - FEB 2016

Ken Meier, alongside his wife Yoonjai Choi at Common Name, has designed every flyer and record for The Bunker New York since 2013. On top of his obvious skills as a designer, he is one of the deepest music heads we know. This set was recorded live at midnight at The Bunker Limited New Year's Eve Party on December 31, 2015.  Full tracklist and more info at: http://thebunkerny.com/podcasts/121-ken-meier


The Bunker Podcast 121 - Ken Meier

Trainspotters Nightmare was a label i used to run with Glenn Wilson of Planet Rhythm, between 1995-1997. It all started with me releasing an obscured 2 track black 12 inch vinyl with no visible title. An idea my friend Danijel Alpha had was to only inscribe the titles onto the vinyl itself, so no unauthorised trainspotters could see what records you where playing.  And after receiving many interesting demo tapes from all corners of the world, a platform was needed where we could release trax that didnt fully fit on our labels H-Productions and P-Rhythm. 

So we continued and during the 2 years we managed to launch 13 vinyl releases, including special colored vinyls and double 12 inch albums. We realized that it would not be fair towards the other artists, if we didnt place names and titles on the vinyl centerlabels. This resulted in us addapting a Trainspotters Nightmare logo in Brail writing which suited the “Ghetto Booty” sound template of the label - being rusty, broken, skewed or even a bit out of sync.

From Finland we have some truly exotic jacking tracks by Ari Jukka, Jori Hulkkonen and Tuomas Juhani. Austria is represented by V-Key from Vienna, that also had an amazing electronic dancemusic scene back in the 90s. Chicago pioneers Steve Poindexter, Gene Hunt and The Beatjunkies bring in the scent of legendary clubs like Warehouse and the Music Box. Besides my own name Cari Lekebusch there also are a few tracks released under my pseudonyme Mr Barth, and the Twobasementboys consist of me and Frankfurtian original freaknoisefunker Oliver Bondzio.

Now, 20 years after the labels discontinuation, it was time for me to record a nice retrospective line through the catalog. Enjoy the jack! * with peace / Cari *

Trainspotters Nightmare - Retrospective (1995 - 1997)

@karlpmeier
@ken-meier

Brothers possessing an encyclopedic knowledge of music across the spectrum, Karl & Ken Meier join Bryan Kasenic in our New York studio.

Born and raised in the western suburbs of Chicago, longtime collaborators and real-life brothers Ken and Karl Meier – who also records and performs as half of Talker, a duo with Jonathan “Stave” Crohn – developed a mutual obsession with music from their parents’ record collection, digging into rock & roll before moving onto synthpop and, eventually, the more electronic end of the spectrum. Working together at the Windy City’s reputable Gramaphone Records only increased their vinyl enthusiasm and expertise, simultaneously honed with weekly broadcasts on frequencies like WNUR and WHPK. Though the opportunity to DJ came somewhat unexpectedly to Karl, he and his brother took to it: they were the first Chicagoans to play out with Pioneer CDJs and hosted the Fear of Music event series (and now podcast) featuring a mix of regional and international producers including Surgeon, Function, Anthony “Shake” Shakir and BMG. Now based in New York City and Berlin, respectively, Ken and Karl come together in the studio for a wide-ranging, hard-hitting collaborative DJ set and an interview with Bryan Kasenic.

The RA Underground Stage in pictures and mixes: https://www.residentadvisor.net/features/2996

Steve Rachmad's Sunday night slot as STERAC was so impressive that we rated it as one of the weekend's key performances. As the rain lashed down outside, causing the temporary closure of the outdoor arenas, the place to be was under cover listening to the Dutch master. The dance floor was a heaving throng when the beat kicked back in on James Ruskin's "Work," the high point of a superb set.

30th June 2012

Was sorting through an old hard drive and found this, completely forgot I even had a recording of it. Was lucky enough to be on warmup for DVS1 when he came to Belfast, it was a massive deal for me as he's up there with my favourites - a proper DJs DJ.
