VERSION Archives

@moma_ready arrived on a wave of acclaim that hasn't at all subsided in the four or so years since his debut. The NYC-based skateboarder and musician runs the Haus of Altr label and also makes ambient, as well as films. He has had particular success producing with AceMo as AceMoMA, such as on April's standout album, A Future. As the title suggests, it took in the dustier end of 90s jungle, rough-edged house and Detroit techno, but turned out something forward-looking. Whatever MoMA Ready does, it comes through a proudly Afrofuturist lens, always with unbridled energy and the ability to make you question everything you thought you knew. 

This week's mix packs an awful lot in. It - of course - eschews the traditional model of a slow build towards a peak-time workout. Instead, the music just goes where MoMA wants, whenever he wants. Even the transitions play second fiddle to the selections, which is fine when the tunes are this good. Some are deep, some are smooth, there are lo-fi bangers and seductive rollers. It's the sound of a DJ going all in without a care in the world.

Otto & DJ Python plus Shane Clay - 14 July 2021

Artist: Fio Fa
Title: U Drink, U Pay EP 
Label: Pear
Cat No: PEAR009
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist: 
A1. U Drink, U Pay
B1. Turizmo
B2. Gateway To A 50 Bag

Fio Fa returns to his Pear imprint for U Drink, U Pay; his euphoric new EP of Prog-’e’ thumpers and Garage-y shufflers, all in his inimitable style.

U Drink, U Pay is Fio’s most ambitious track yet; patiently layering the prog with a steady finesse until its unbridled giddiness can’t contain itself. Inevitable climactic bliss ensues, before bringing us right back to do it to us all over again. The euphoria is firmly on tap, and it’s simply irresistible.

On the flip, Turizmo speeds ahead in a surprising 2-Step turn. Bright organ chords, a chunky bassline and hefty doses of swing amount to a sunny UKG belter in pure Fa style. Gateway To A 50 Bag then sees us out, a subversive rave-y skanker fit with killer melodies and sweeping synths before a delightful switch-up recalibrates its course in brilliant manner. A thrilling end to another knockout release from the boss-man.

Fio Fa - U Drink, U Pay EP (PEAR009)

Each year, we ask a few artists from the Dekmantel Selectors line-up to deliver a mix in anticipation of the new edition. Who could be a better fit than DJ Python to re-initiate this tradition?

Even before Dulce Compañia, which introduced the Python alias to the world, Brian Piñeyro has been providing a wide array of unique sounds to those who care to listen. To be fair, he makes it hard not to care, and also to describe his ambling, dembow-inspired rhythms as something other than ‘deep reggaeton’. But if Piñeyro has taught us one thing, it is that music is just moods flowing into one another. Sometimes, the mood is a percussive therapy session, and sometimes it warps drone-driven electronica, tingly synths, and steely dancehall.

It is unsurprising that this mix is all about the mood too. A 60-minute journey across genuinely emotive songs and honeyed hymns. In his words, it’s just about “enjoying the time with people around you, whatever shape the people or the time may take”. When listening to this mix, keep in mind DJ Python’s approach to making soup: you can only really do it well if you allow yourself to move beyond the recipe. The only thing left to do is let go and get locked in.

Dub/Reggae influenced Post-Punk, Industrial, Experimental, etc. from the late 70s and early/mid 80s. A huge influence of the era, especially in England (see Public Image Ltd., The Slits, The Pop Group etc.). There's also some representation here from Japan, Germany, Belgium, and Australia. Some of my all-time favorite tracks bear this influence, from Cabaret Voltaire's "Seconds Too Late" to Holger Czukay, Jah Wobble, Jaki Liebezeit's "How Much Are They?", amongst a handful of others here. 

I tried to maintain a nice upwards arc in the tempo/funkiness, but also made sure to have some interesting ups and downs, with an ear to similarities in sounds, for segues and sound compatibility. The beginning of the mix just happens to feature some of the earliest dated tracks I chose. The On-U Sound suite here wasn't intentional actually, but just happened to work out that way when sequencing the tracks. Funny how that happened, but makes complete sense. There are also some songs towards the end with only a vague dub influence (see Fad Gadget, TG), but are some of my favorites and worked nicely. The Upsetters track is more funk than dub so… That takes us to the end, with a suite of particularly unique, authentic dub/reggae/dancehall(!) tracks that showcase a nice range of styles.

Noteworthy… I finalized the track selection for the mix just a couple days before the death of Holger Czukay. The legend himself appears on a whopping four tracks here; the three bearing his name, and Moebius & Plank's "Missi Cacadou". So, in a way, this is also a farewell ode to the immensely inspiring Mr. Czukay. Surely his deeply psychedelic interpretation of the dub sound was influential in itself. Rest in peace.
