Cadenza Music Podcast
Cycle 009 mixed by Mirko Loko

Mirko Loko’s passion for music has led him on an upward trajectory ever since he first started DJing in the late 90’s clubs of Lausanne. Based at the crossroads of Detroit-inspired techno and the stripped-down, jacked up side of house, his music is music of diversity, and subtlety, a hypnotic collage sewn together by his imagination. Regularly hiding complexities: layers, polyrhythms, shifting moods of dark and light, high-class and low-slung. In 2010-11 alone, there’s been Mirko’s original collaboration with Detroit’s Stacey Pullen. Remixes ranging from Martina Topley-Bird (Massive Attack) to Layo and Bushwacka – and even remixes of Mirko’s material by Carl Craig and Ricardo Villalobos. Not bad, really, when you add those to a discography that already spans such labels as Border Community, Wagon Repair, Planet E, Desolat, and Visionquest…

Mirko Loko's passion for music has led him on an upward trajectory ever since he first started DJing in the late 90's clubs of Lausanne. Based at the crossroads of Detroit-inspired techno and the stripped-down, jacked up side of house, his music is music of diversity, and subtlety, a hypnotic collage sewn together by his imagination. Regularly hiding complexities: layers, polyrhythms, shifting moods of dark and light, high-class and low-slung.
In 2010-11 alone, there's been Mirko's original collaboration with Detroit's Stacey Pullen. Remixes ranging from Martina Topley-Bird (Massive Attack) to Layo & Bushwacka – and even remixes of Mirko's material by Carl Craig and Ricardo Villalobos. Not bad, really, when you add those to a discography that already spans such labels as Border Community, Wagon Repair, Planet E, Desolat, and Visionquest…

Mirko was born in 1979 in Lausanne and has loved music for as long as he can recall. After DJing in the clubs, Couleur3 (Swiss national radio) snapped him up as a DJ and programme planner between 1997 and 2001. During this time he continued DJing nationally but also started performing internationally at places like Rex in Paris, Cielo in New York, and 2001's Detroit Electronic Music Festival, where he was invited to perform by Carl Craig. In 2003 he moved temporarily to New York and took a residency at Christian Smith's party, Tronic Treatment. When Mirko returned home he became artistic programmer at Loft Club.
He then met Raphael Gros and together they formed Lazy Fat People, a production unit that was to impact heavily over the next few years. Their debut, 'Big City', came out in 2006 on James Holden's Border Community. From there tracks spilled across other labels, including Mathew Jonson's Wagon Repair and Carl Craig's Planet E. There were remixes, too, like their reworking of Daniel Bell's 'Science Fiction', and Oliver Lieb's 'Isotropy', not to forget the never-to-forget C2 remix of Fat Lazy People's 'Pixelgirl'. However, in 2007, at the height of their success, the duo decided to go their separate ways. So Mirko continued, remixing for Tania Vulcano and Tato's IsGud as well as Alexkid's Imprimé Records. Between 2007 and 2009 he was also assistant programmer for the electronic side of Montreux Jazz Festival.

Yet something else was brewing: it was big. It was the 'Mousa Big Band' track, Mirko's collaboration with Cadenza boss, Luciano, included on their Family EP and released on Loco Dice's Desolat, alongside Mirko's own productions 'Liah' and 'Serena'. Dice even played 'Mousa Big Band' and 'Liah' during his 2008 Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1.
In 2009 Cadenza released Mirko's debut solo album – Seventynine. It proved to be both a timely tribute to his inspirations and a testament to his own journey through music. There was a new influx of shows across the globe, from Space Miami to Monegros in Spain, Lowlands in the Netherlands, Summer Sonic in Japan, Creamfields in the UK, and Sonofilia in Mexico. And an innovative new venture with Luciano and the Cadenza family was born: a live 'visual music' performance named Æther, which premiered in the summer of 2009.

Mirko's passion continues to take his music to new places. 2010 saw him remix Layo & Bushwacka's 'The Longest Day' on Olmeto, Ghost Dancer's 'Home' on Panorama, and dOP's 'Assurance Vie' on Circus Company.
This was the time of his Seventynine Remixes project, with remixes by Carl Craig on 'Love Harmonic' and Ricardo Villalobos on 'Tahktok'. Mirko became a professional 'vagabundo' with Cadenza in Ibiza – a journey that continued in 2011. This year he's laid down an original collaboration with Stacey Pullen on the Deux Éléments EP ('Formulaic Mode'/'Tronic Illusion') for Cadenza. He's remixed Martina Topley-Bird's 'Baby Blue'. 'Gloria' is enroute to Seth Troxler's Visionquest. And various new partnerships including Francesco Tristano and Jow from dOP are evolving as Mirko looks forward to 2012…

ERNESTO FERREYRA

Born in Argentina, Ernesto Ferreyra travels the world in pursuit of musical enlightenment. From Mexico, to Montreal, to Berlin, the newest member of team Cadenza proves rhythm knows no borders.

The die was cast early when Ernesto began to collect records by Depeche Mode, Jean Michael Jarre y Pink Floyd, which led him to discover house music, at the time, a little known sub-culture in Argentina. At age 13 the precocious music fanatic landed a job as a radio DJ in his hometown of Cordoba, at 14 he was spinning at under-18 discos, by 16 he was a full-fledged club DJ. He made a pass at conventional career planning but found his time at university revolved around weekends in the clubs. "I saw my path was marked," he says, "It was music."

Determined to carve his own path, Ernesto moved to the maelstrom of Mexico City, where he lived for three years, DJing all over Mexico and taking the first steps in his production career. Next, he moved to Montreal, drawn by the vibrant creative culture of Montreal, Canada's electronic music hotbed. There his production career moved into high gear, driven by friendships with MUTEK artists and – in particular – Guillaume Coutu Dumont, who he records and performs with under the Chic Miniature moniker. It wasn't just the creative talent that spurred Ernesto. "The cold helps too," he jokes. "You wind up buried in your studio working all the time."

There is more to Ernesto's music than just putting in the hours, though. He defines his sound as a mix of Latin groove and taut Northern minimalism. His records reflect a boundless curiosity about life, emotion and sensation. "I love jazz, soul, funk, Cuban rhythms, rivers, mountains… crazy movies like Tim Burton, history books – everything is an inspiration!" Ernesto's crisp, seductive cuts appear on labels including MUTEK, Cadenza, Musique Risquée, Cyosure and Crosstown Rebels. His gigs at the world's best clubs include Berlin's Watergate and Panoramabar, Tokyo's Yellow, Spazio 900 in Rome and – in summer 2010 – Pacha, Ibiza. Forthcoming releases include remixes for Ben Watt's Buzzin' Fly imprint, 'For Beaner' on Thema Records and Ernesto's debut artist album.

db Artists Musique Podcast - 007 - Mirko Loko & Ernesto Ferreyra @ Club Der Visionaere, Berlin

The Vagabundos return to kick start the Ibiza season in real underground style. Cadenza selects the cream of their crop to represent the second mix compilation this year, with Cesar Merveille and Mirko Loko going head to head on this real connoisseurʼs collection.

Merveilleʼs mix begins with a real nugget from label boss Luciano, and his remix of Tim Wrightʼs ʻThirstʼ, ploughing right into a deep and distinctly underground house sound, with raw productions from the likes of Daze Maxim, Rob Melloʼs remix of Losoul, and Roustam.	Merveilleʼs own mix of Afriqua provides a turning point on the mix, ushering in a psychedelic and melodious passage, magnified with the superb Ricardo Villalobos remix of Envoy. Tracks from Delano Smith, Ultrasone and Merveille & Crosson wrap up a consistent yet varied selection of music from Merveille that sets the perfect tone for the continuing disc.

Mirko Loko has been one of Cadenzaʼs over present figures over the years, with his style leaning towards the otherworldly vibes of the Detroit pioneers, and his Vagabundos mix definitely reflects this love of melancholic electronic sounds. Eduardo De La Calleʼs minimal and tweaky opener sets the course for a playful delivery of fine tracks from Matthew Dear, Roy Ayers (the terrifically tribal Ame remix of Tarzan) and the old skool Chicago flavour of Tevo Howard. Mirko also airs an exclusive cut from the compilationʼs other selector; Cesar Merveilleʼs ʻDEAʼ exemplifying the term ʻhypnoticʼ perfectly. Mirko digs deep to revive the Anada Projectʼs stone cold classic ʻCascades Of Colourʼ (the Danny Tenaglia edit here of the Rui Da Silva/Saffron Remix), keeping the late night vibe with offerings from Pig & Dan, Carl Craigʼs remix of Mirkoʼs own ʻLove Harmonicʼ and throwing in a double whammy of original Chi-town grooves from Master C&J and Virgo, finishing on the gorgeous melodies of Chateau Flight.

Previously, Cadenzaʼs young guns Argy and Andrea Oliva showed us a romping party mood on the first Vagabundos compilation back in March, and on this volume, Cesar and Mirko take us on a deeper journey, all the while delivering a solid double disc album of the best contemporary grooves and some forgotten classic from yesteryear.
