ANTIDOTE

'something that counteracts an unpleasant feeling or situation'

Number 098 of our mix series is delivered by Varuna. Enamored with the sense of unity that arises on sweaty dance floors, her goal is to create more of this unity and connect people with themselves and others through music. Growing up as the child of a former drummer and percussionist, she found early inspiration that laid the foundation for her sound as it is today. Her music blends intricate, jazz-infused rhythms with gritty, ever-evolving soundscapes, soulful pads, and otherworldly, trippy sounds. Drawing from elements of Detroit techno, ambient, dub, acid, electro, and sometimes broken beats, she creates a futuristic utopian landscape where body and mind can connect.

Currently working as a junior audio engineer and studying at the Conservatory of Amsterdam’s Electronic Music Academy, she continues to explore and evolve her sound.

Enjoy this hour by Varuna!

ANTIDOTE PODCAST 098: VARUNA

Taking the helm of our next podcast iteration, Madrid-based DJ and producer Psyk jumps in with a beast of a two-hour jaunt into frantic techno hyperspace. Having dished out some highly magnetic floor wares for the likes of Tresor, Mote Evolver or Modularz and his own imprint, Non Series, Psyk sure knows how to steer crowds into some sort of super-conscious euphoria. Expert provider of big-room ready dynamics and paranoid narratives, Psyk flings us into orbit with his impeccably laid-down assembly of industrial-minded rhythms and murky, oomph-loaded grooves hatching out of the dark like alien eggs from a drifting Nostromo.

Hayes Mixtape 04 by Vil

Dubby, detroity tracks to spacey hypnotic techno: bridging the gap between Loek Frey's great opening and Freddy K who played after me. Hope you enjoy this since these are tracks that I all really love!! 

Beatmatching is sloppy in the first 35 mins, had some difficulty with hearing the mixer cues & the monitors + i was too short to reach the upper cdjs properly (even while standing on a platform lol) so that took some time getting used to

Artists played: 
Johanna Knutsson, Blue Hour, Carsten Fietz, Adlas, Deano, Maarten Mittendorff & Jasper Wolff, Modus, DJ Deep, Yogg, Connor Wall, Red Rooms, Nachtwaker, Ruben Ganev, Black Mirror Park & Red Rooms, Dorisburg, Vergil, Robert Armani/Alexander Johansson & Mattias Fridell, Joline Scheffler, Lenson, Fase Bipolar, Sterac
Happy digging! <3

Fernando Sanz aka @orbeartist has been steadfastly dedicated to the craft of beats and breaks since he was a young sprout of 14 years in the sun baked southern Spanish port city of Algeciras. Under the imprint Orbe Records, Sanz has cultivated his own thriving techno community as artist and label head. Since 2014 Orbe Records has been lashing the block rocking techno of Sanz’s comrades Eduardo De La Calle and Steve Stoll, but mostly of Sanz’s own prolific moniker, Orbe. As DJ and producer Orbe keeps the mood surreal and dreamy while deploying understated drum machine patterns to hammer the platonic solids that keep his beloved community in tact.

Alphabet Podcast 050 - Orbe

Next up in our series, we’re excited to welcome Mary Yuzovskaya, a DJ and producer whose surgical sense of the groove and love for minimal sound structures have become trademarks over the years. At the helm of her own record label, Monday Off, Mary puts in the same precision and effort she dishes out through all of her vinyl-only DJ sets. Stripped-back and highly cerebral, her style sits at the junction of heavily dubbed-out psychedelia, liquid abstraction and post-industrialism, and this mix doesn’t differ. Enter Yuzovskaya’s mazy new vinyl exclusive mix with crumbs of bread in your pocket and some red thread, for we’re yet to know where the labyrinth ends. But does it even have an end?

Psychotherapist by day, mind-hacker by night, here comes Leipzig’s Vincent Neumann with two hours of widely versatile techno and electronics. All in jagged dynamics and hi-NRG propulsion, Neumann’s mix is an ode to old-school raving, back when the DJ’s name was of no importance but the flow of the music itself was all that mattered, or when the true spirit of techno rhymed with riotous communion and a new horizon of possibilities, not some ultra fast-fashion side issue. The result is a fiery jaunt across some of those balls-out anthems old and new that got people converging from all around the country onto secret places, eager to let the socio-political frustration of their age out, regardless of how the norm thought of them. A manifesto-like set to play out loud and share around.

011 - VINCENT NEUMANN

(interview below)
Vincent Neumann, DJ and label owner from Leipzig, has built a loyal underground following with his energetic, enduring sets and legendary closing performances. A resident at Distillery since 2012, he also runs the label Unitas Multiplex. By day, he works as a psychotherapist; by night, he captivates audiences with enthusiastic, precise sets. For him, authenticity comes before fame – and anyone who experiences one of his ten-hour closing sets will immediately understand why.

INTERVIEW
You play regularly at Berghain. What does the club mean to you personally and how does this club influence your approach to a DJ set?

Berghain was and is the ultimate club and the ultimate experience for me (on many levels). I've heard so much great music, spent so many days and met so many people in and through the club that my life would be completely different without it. Since I was allowed to play there, I've been even more passionate about techno and the sets there have also taught me to play even better through long sets and to get a different feel for sounds and timing for tracks at certain moments. I try to transfer all of this to other clubs.

In addition to your DJ career, as some people probably already know, you also work as a psychotherapist. Do you see parallels between music and therapy? Are there elements from your work that are reflected in your sets or your approach to music?

People in the club sometimes tell me that they can hear that I'm a full-time psychotherapist, I don't have that on my radar myself, but I think that perhaps it gives me a different approach to emotions and allowing them in. And sure, music can be super therapeutic, I think every person reading this knows that. At the same time, therapy is also sometimes musical, it needs a sense of rhythm (saying the right words at the right time, or sometimes nothing at all) and you have to pay attention to each other (like instruments that stay in time) otherwise it becomes unpleasant (or sounds like shit).

You launched your own label, Unitas Multiplex. What was your motivation behind it, and what musical vision are you pursuing with the label?

I wanted to set up Unitas Multiplex as a label to give other musicians the chance to release their music (often for the first time) on vinyl. The focus should be on timeless club music. That and the fact that my name is followed by my own label in brackets, which is pretty cool.

BASEMENT introduces BASEMENT Archives, a new podcast series highlighting standout sets recorded live in the club. 

First up is the impromptu b2b2b2b from Fadi Mohem, Kancheli, NDRX and Philippa Pacho that closed out last April’s Bassiani takeover. If you were there, you know how special this night was. Ten minutes before we planned to wrap the night, it was decided that the music simply could not stop. The four artists took over the booth in BASEMENT, and what resulted was 3 hours of euphoric techno that sent everyone out on an incredible high. These are moments that can’t be planned, curated or recreated. When they happen, you pray the recorder is on and running. Thank god it was.

— @fadimohem, @kancheli, @nod-rex, @philippapacho
