It’s commonplace in the life of a young Native American, to undertake a very definite turning point in his life as he approaches puberty. In order to define the young man’s spiritual path, a period of fasting and solitary physical and mental exploration will commence. This usually manifests itself with the young man going into the wilderness for a number of days, often under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs.

Otherwise known as a Visionquest, his path forward into the unknown heralds a distinct rite of passage for the young man in question. The hope is the spiritual direction in life will appear to the child at some point during his Visionquest. The sensory deprivation involved and the intensity of the experience, it is hoped, will resonate with the fledgling boy as he moves into full adulthood.

Friends frequently go on vision quests together. Name any of the leading purveyors of modern music and I bet at some point during their lives there have been epiphanies (medicated or otherwise) that have informed and reinforced their creativity. Four such friends are Seth Troxler, Ryan Crosson, Shaun Reeves and Lee Curtiss. Having grown up together in techno birthplace, Detroit, a city of exceptionally rich musical heritage, they represent the freshest wave of new producers to emerge from this dance music heartland in a decade. Informed by their city’s techno heritage from the likes of Juan Atkins and Jeff Mills, but influenced by the emotive house music sounds of Kenny Dixon Jnr and Theo Parrish, they were organising parties in Lee’s basement at an early age.

At the start of 2011 they launched their much-vaunted Visionquest record label. Reflecting their outlook… diverse, and free from the constraints of genre-specifics, the record label is a home for friends, newcomers and established artists alike and one of the most talked about imprints of recent times (coming seventh in Resident Advisor’s top twenty dance labels of 2011). Focusing not only on the quality of the music, but on the whole art of music delivery that goes with it, Visionquest represents quality in every facet of its output. A series of key artists and graphic designers including most recently Tom Cook, who did all of the early artwork for fabric in London, have produced the highly collectable art inserts that are included in each of the label's twenty plus releases, which, alongside heavyweight vinyl and packaging that incorporates metallic printing, screams quality and longevity.

The imprint founded by Seth Troxler, Lee Curtiss, Ryan Crosson and Shaun Reeves put out its first release from Franco-American duo Benoit & Sergio in January 2011 with the seminal ‘Where The Freaks Have No Name’ EP. This featuring the ubiquitous hit ‘Walk & Talk’, which quickly became one of the key underground hits of the year. This was followed by a pair of releases by Visionquest discoveries Montreal’s Footprintz and Milan’s Tale Of Us. Right from the off, the label was championing genre-spanning quality electronica created by a close-knit family of artists. The label followed up the success of ‘Walk and Talk’ with further underground smash hits in the form of ‘Falling’ by (then little-known) Maceo Plex, and ‘Morgana’ by Tale of Us/ Since then a myriad of artists have contributed to the label's output from Dinky and Mirko Loco to Brett Johnson, UNER, Guy Gerber and Butch. Each one of these fully represents the Visionquest ethos in their own individual way, encompassing the crew's collective notion of being open-minded and allowing their hearts to guide them. From the brooding menace of ‘Step Aside (Lightweight)’ by Life & Death and Thugfucker to the ethereal beauty of Butch's ‘Medusa’, Brett Johnson's anthemic ‘Move Power’ and the off-kilter ‘Warehouse Fool’ by Visionquest discoveries Matthew Burton and Kate Rathod, the four has never been scared to take exciting chances with their A&R choices.

Pinnacles

Shaun Reeves, one member of the Visionquest power force, teams up with good friend and industry veteran Alexi Delano for the next release on the label with two solid cuts that are deeply mystifying and hypnotic while packing plenty of groove for the dance floor. Title track ‘The Breeze’captures the senses with warm, dubby synths flowing and rippling throughout, evoking a sense of melancholy enhanced by Charlotte Carter-Allen’s vocals, while ‘The Mistral’ rides with a deep chugging bassline as the mesmerising vocals float and echo through the deep vortex. Over on the B-side, one of Visionquest’s favourite producers, the highly respected Thomas Melchior aka Melchior Productions Ltd is proudly welcomed onto the label to remix ‘The Breeze’, adding his unmistakable groove and distinctive percussive patterns. This is certainly a package not to be missed.

Born in Chile, raised in Sweden and later adopted by New York, Alexi Delano now lives in London. Over his two decades in the industry he has developed a style, which combines the heavy compressed Swedish sound with the vibrancy of the creative music scene in Brooklyn. Releasing on established labels such as the historic SVEK, Plus 8, Minus, Drumcode, HProduction and many more.  Now in 2013 Alexi Delano is finalizing his 6th album “The Art Of Collaboration” for the Swedish Techno label H-productions as well as relaunching his own record label AD Limited whilst continuing to write original pieces for a string of projects.

Hailing from Detroit where he ran parties booking the likes of Magda and Dan Bell, Shaun Reeves has now lived in the techno city Berlin for the past nine years. Playing at all of the top venues and parties in the world on a relentless touring schedule and spending every spare second in the studio, Shaun’s dedication to the job is second to none.

Thomas Melchior is well respected as a solo artist and as a duo alongside Baby Ford under the moniker Soul Capsule, releasing on the likes of Perlon, Playhouse, Smallville and a:rpia:r. Earlier this year they rereleased the classic ‘Overcome Ø Lady Science’ with smashing results.

Following the more house & techno focused Spring Club Collection, The Visionquest dream team return with the sun-dappled Summer ‘Beach Collection’, starring Maceo Plex, Tale Of Us and Pillow Talk.

Part II of the Spring Summer Collection features a fresh selection of summer jams – a three-tiered melting pot of hot talent, dishing out a warm mix of sun drenched house steeped in soul, both dusky and bright, with an 80’s disco infusion. This next installment is testament to the ever-changing moods and winds across Visionquest sonic footprint. It sounds like the breeze and the heat of a memorable summer romance, soul music for the feet.

House maestro Maceo Plex steps up first with the bittersweet summer anthem ‘Falling’, the dreamy vocal drifts into the uplifting melody, funky guitar licks and subtle undercurrents of softly jackin’ beats build into psychedelic waves of hooky synths. Maceo Plex’s recent superb singles and Life Index album on Crosstown Rebels is a contender for album of the year.

Hot on the heels of the moody, epic ‘Dark Song EP’, Tale Of Us are back representing Visionquest with the deep melancholy of ‘Winds Of Change’. Eerie atmospheres unfold with gently broken beats, minor key bass notes and a mysterious vocal cut that penetrates the soul with its yearning clarity.

Sammy D aka Pillow Talk has been a fixture on the San Francisco house and techno scene for the past 12 years, having released as Justin Martin & Sammy D on luminary labels such as Derrick Carter’s Classic Records, Ben Watt's Buzzin'Fly and Claude Von Stroke's Dirtybird. Sammy's new project Pillow Talk (alongside production partners Michael Tello and Ryan

Williams) is straight up soul dance music. Influenced by the great RnB singers of the 50s and 60s, Sammy’s velvet vocals displayed here in the majestic ‘Love Makes Parks’ wash over the laid-back, swinging groove and the message is clear; It’s the Visionquest summer of Love.

Next up on Visionquest is the second single from Wareika’s righteous and raw ‘Wternal’ album. ‘All Little Things’, here in its ‘Club Mix’ incarnation, is another example of the trio’s hefty musicianship and unbridled eccentric energy, where jazzy textures and pulsating grooves build up with a rising melody to the powerful vocal drop. On the first remix Visionquest & Nikko Gibler develop expansive piano melodies alongside an elasticated bassline and vocal snippets. Fred P reigns over the B-side with his raw, deep hypnotic ‘Reshape’ and warmed up ‘Spirit Dub’. This is a distinctly diverse remix package from a rich artistic source.

 

Hamburg trio Wareika started as a project in 2007 with a collection of shining releases on prestigious labels such as Connaisseur, Eskimo, Future Classic and Circus Company, and three studio albums on Perlon, liebe*detail and Tartelet Records, Wareika’s style ranges from Balearic to deep Techno, jazzy House sounds and from Balkan-Jazz to dubby riddims but always retains the smart intellect, depth and dynamism in composition Wareika is known for.

 

Their thrilling jazz-marries-techno live shows has now been captured on vinyl and CD with fourth full-length album ‘Wternal’ recorded in one 65min take and out now on Visionquest. After remixes for David Lynch and Benoit & Sergio in the past couple of years, Visionquest, the artists, here join forces with Nikko Gibler - a multi instrumentalist and composer based in Hollywood, who’s also released records on Culprit and Leftroom.

 

Fred P aka Black Jazz Consortium is one of the godfathers of the New York house movement and a true master of that often overused accolade ‘deep’. Fred P runs Soul People Music and has appeared on Jus-Ed’s imprint Underground Quality.

It has been a whirlwind twelve months for David Sidley and Duncan Murray aka WHYT NOYZ. Since their SCI+TEC debut last February the UK based producers have enjoyed successful releases and remixes with Terminal M, Alleanza, KD Music and Form, and closed 2013 with a first full release on Richie Hawtin's Minus.

Formed in 2010 the duo quickly impressed with their driving techno productions that were matched with live drums and innovative vocal samples. Having initially caught the ear of Hawtin with their early demos, WHYT NOYZ were soon featuring on his Minus12 sub-label and their track 'Volcano' was included on his 'New Horizons' compilation. 

Dubfire was also a fan and invited the duo to produce an EP for SCI+TEC. They announced their arrival to the family with the rampant 'Homewurk' EP. Throughly tried and tested by the label boss, both tracks are now certified SCI+TEC hits and ready for release. 

Today WHYT NOYZ return with the 'They' EP, a four track selection that rolls out of the blocks with the mean stomping sound of the title track. The tempo is pushed on Tribe with its pulsing bassline, fluid FX and bell chimes before the boys match hip-hop vocal spikes, a fat, groovy bottom end and tense breaks on In 95'. WHYT NOYZ drop more urban funk on the final cut as their cascading keys and throbbing bass work to perfection to close the ep in true party style.

His upcoming release on the label is Aiden 12”, featuring remixes by Samuel L Session and Arnaud Le Texier. This release and others has also gained support by artists like Bas Mooy, Derrick May, Chris Liebing, Ben Klock, Alan Fitzpatrick just to name a few!

The next hour will be spent listening to an array of tracks showcasing different atmospheres that leaves you craving for more! We hope you enjoy this weeks podcast, and don't forget to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MonuMnt">follow Monument</a> for more techno, art, and upcoming events!

Q & A

Q:
You must at one time have had a vision about how Affin should be, tell us about it 

A:
The idea for an own label was present long time before Affin started. The main reason was just to release whatever i wanted. Moreover i like the idea of being independent from others opinions and after some years of releasing and working on several labels i felt fine to go for it.  

Q:
Are you getting closer to your vision? 

A:
Yes, for sure. The Affin 100 compilation was a turning point for the label. In the last 2 years the the label focussed on releasing techno. 

Q:
What are your thoughts on the techno scene today? 

A:
Compared to the time when i started releasing music (1999) a lot of things changed (otherwise it would be sad, ha ha). With developments of software and DAWs it’s easier/cheaper to start producing music. This caused a crowded market and especially on download shops you can see a lot of crap is being sold.  

Q:
How do you spend your time when you are not producing, managing or djing?  

A:
I don't have much time besides from it. I try to relax and easy my mind. :­)  

Q:
Finally, if music was not your carrier what could have been your alternative career? 

A:
I’m not sure.

Sebastien Tellier - Ambiance Rio

Released: 12” 14th July | Digital 28th July 2014 

IN BRIEF 
Renowned for their sublime, lyrical take on dance music, DC / Berlin based duo Benoit & Sergio return to their spiritual home of Visionquest with some freshly crafted groove ridden thrills. More set in the smoke and heat of the club than their vocalised bittersweet visions, the ‘Your Darkness’ EP showcases the duo at their dancefloor focused playful best whilst incorporating infectious vocal samples, searing melodies and pulsing rhythms. Opener ‘Splash’ is at once murky and tropical as the bassline grinds underneath light footed percussion whilst title track ‘Your Darkness’ is a deep and moody groover with signature rich synth work. Closing track ‘Beat Macho’ is a wayward beast with a darker edge and satisfyingly complex chugging framework that makes for a heady trip into the depths of the night.

 BACKGROUND
o+ Leaving an indelible mark on a selection of pioneering labels since 2009 - Spectral Sound, DFA, Hot Creations, Culprit and of course Visionquest have all fallen prey to Benoit & Sergio’s unique brand of sensuous electronics. The duo first appeared on Visionquest for the imprints’ inaugural release in 2011 ‘Where The Freaks Have No Name’ featuring the ubiquitous ‘Walk And Talk’ - a quintessential slice of romantic techno. Then in late 2012 the ‘New Ships EP’ further demonstrated the duo’s ability to mix visceral energy with the emotional.   

o+o Gaining the title of iTunes breakthrough electronic artists of the year in 2011 and featuring in RA’s best live act poll in 2011 and 2012, they also had the tracks ‘Everybody’, ‘Principles’, ‘Let Me Count The Ways’, and ‘Walk and Talk’ variously charted in top 20 year-end polls for Resident Advisor, Mixmag and DJ Mag. The duo have since been enlisted to remix heavyweights such as Matthew Dear, Metronomy, Hot Natured and covered Daft Punk.

o+o+ This year the duo is working on completing their long anticipated debut album co-produced with DARKSIDE aka Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington, and set to be released on the magically diverse Other People imprint. A single will be dropped as a teaser in the not too distant future.

Items of pure bizarre elegance rarely drop through our BR HQ letter box, however, every once in a while we get something that really leaves us stumped. Meltybrains? have been making avant-garde-leaning melodies for a minute now, but their forthcoming release is undoubtedly their most coherent offering yet; and it still maintains a grip on their vast array of influences.

"The Vine" takes as much from the likes of Afrobeats super-producer Don Jazzy as it does from Snarky Puppy. Produced and mixed by Kwes, the track sets its foundation on a tough clave snare pattern, allowing the band's luscious auto-tune sprinkled harmonies to float freely until reaching a definite contender for percussion break of the year.

This one drops August 1st. Keep an eye peeled for the undoubtedly off the wall visual accompaniment.

Locked Groove
Heritage EP 
HF038

Young Belgian producer Locked Groove (aka Tim Van de Meutter) cements an increasingly central role in the Hotflush family fold with the release of the Heritage EP.

Since his debut on the label, Tim has propagated what he himself has termed ‘100% House and Techno,’ combining elements of the big room, the deep and moody and straight up four-to-the-floor both into the space of a single track, and across the length of an EP.

Taking a marked step on from last year’s Rooted and Keep It Simple EPs, Heritage pursues a joining of musical dots between and beyond classic House and Techno; from the Kerri Chandler-esque House of ‘Wear It Well’ through the epic landscaping of ‘Lost’ to 'Dream Within A Dream''s Blade Runner beach party.

Release date: February 25th

Jimmy Edgar - Sex Drive (Scuba's Dub of Doom)

vi•sion quest (noun): a search for personal communication with the spirit world. 

Every mystical journey eventually comes to a fork in the road. The seeker of life’s destiny has two options: remain satisfied with whatever level of consciousness he has already attained, or push forward into ever-new domains of promise and possibility. 2014 sees dance music’s best-known spiritual pilgrims, the Visionquest trio of Ryan Crosson, Lee Curtiss, and Shaun Reeves, bravely embarking upon that wondrous journey. Each member of this celebrated DJing and production team contributes a distinct yet interlocking vision that together forms a seamless, organic whole. Just think of Crosson’s enthusiastic shuffle, Lee’s soulful stare, Shaun’s soft touch. Everything they craft has the same unmistakable flair: slow-burning, shape-shifting, expansive techno and house marked by compositional elegance and unabashed pop hooks.

Although long-time partner and co-conspirator Seth Troxler has stepped aside to pursue other projects, 2013 was the biggest year ever for the four. Inspired by the passing of the Mayan calendar, the group embarked upon Visionquest 13, 13 dates where the boys not only played together the whole night, but curated a true multimedia experience. From London to Buenos Aires, from the American hinterland to the Chilean wilderness, Visionquest 13 was a Freudian trip into the deepest recesses of the Detroit rave unconscious, what Ibiza Voice described as a “collective expedition into the depths of your soul”—but with a sophisticated, modern twist.

Their accomplishments are well-known and too many to list. For starters: a critically acclaimed 2011 Fabric mix; year-defining hit remixes for artists as diverse as Kiki, Wareika, Tracey Thorn, and David Lynch; showcases and dates in the biggest clubs and festivals around the world; and the creation of a now iconic-label that’s played host to dancefloor weaponry from the likes of Benoit & Sergio, Life & Death, Dinky, and Laura Jones—all this while each member maintained significant individual production and DJ careers. But, by definition, no journey dwells in the past. So in 2014 they launched Visionquest Special Editions, a limited-release, vinyl only label. Evoking the experimental sounds of the European techno avant-garde that first inspired the boys back in Detroit, the debut release, remixes of Montreal songwriter Quilla, features a stunning collaboration between Shaun and long-time hero Ricardo Villalobos. With Visionquest Special Editions we see the group at home at a breezy, gentle afterparty, not just igniting the club. As Visionquest winds around the corner into their bright future, they remain open and excited for what lies ahead.
