Aphex Twin Playlist

Mike Dred Playlist

Electronic

I saw Clock DVA live in Malmo, Sweden in  1991, nice futuristic set.
They were way ahead of their time, while they were playing a monitor displayed the name of the song, which album it was on and an image of the album.
They had a merch stand where they sold every album they had released, so after the concert I bought the Man-Amplified  album.

This mashup with Aphex Twin I discovered in 2008, this Ableton Live mashup is from 2010.

Enjoy!

Dj vmood - Aphex Twin (Analogue Bubblebath) vs Clock DVA (Techno Geist)

I like the contrast between the more serious 'Windowpane' and the more playful and carefree 'Pulsewidth', but I still think they fit together quite well.

Created in Ableton Live in June 2013.

Enjoy!

DJ vmood - Aphex Twin (Pulsewidth) vs Coil (Windowpane)

I loved 'Electric Avenue' back in the mid eighties, took me decades before I understood the serious message in it, still holds its own.

I think 'Selected Ambient Works 85-92' is Aphex Twins best album and have made mashups of nearly every song on it.

Feels like an unlikely mashup, but I really feel they fit together.

Created in Ableton Live in April 2012.

Enjoy!

DJ vmood - Eddy Grant (Electric Avenue) vs Aphex Twin (Tha)

I learned to beatmix after seeing Richie Hawtin DJ in Copenhagen (at Pumpehuset) in the summer of 1993.
He played a super minimalistic set, and it was the first time I could basically hear every (beat)mix the DJ made, since most of the songs were just one sound and a few drums.
When I got home to Sweden I started to mix immediately, and something clicked in my brain and I was able to hear if the new song was too slow or too fast and adjust.
 I remember mixing the Universal Indicator records since they were also quite minimalistic so it was easier to hear if it was in the right BPM.

Mixed live in Virtual DJ in March 2012.

Enjoy!

DJ vmood - Universal Indicator (WW303) vs Pascal F.E.O.S (Technique)

I had a hard time deciding which Universal Indicator song to mash with 'Technique' so I publish both of them. (Here's the other one: https://soundcloud.com/vmood/dj-vmood-universal-indicator-ww303-vs-pascal-feos-technique)

Created in Ableton Live in March 2012.

Enjoy!

DJ vmood - Pacal F.E.O.S. (Technique) vs Universal Indicator (Psychic Turbulence)

I've loved 'Polynomial C' since I first heard it in 1992, but back then I didn't like Breakbeat at all and wished he'd just done it as a straight four to the floor Techno track instead.

This is my attempt at that with the slightly chaotic Mike Dred track 'Psychich Turbulence'.

Discovered in June 2008, this version was created in Ableton Live in September 2011.

Enjoy!

DJ vmood - Aphex Twin (Polynomial C) vs Universal Indicator (Psychic Turbulence)

The bass in Ageispolis is really nice and out of control, sounds different on all speakers and can create some crazy vibrations and rumble in some system.

Can't believe how well it fits with Tove Lo's pop song.

Created in Ableton Live in June 2015.

Enjoy!

DJ vmood - Tove Lo - Habits (Stay High) vs Aphex Twin (Ageispolis)

The 20th release from Nina Kraviz’s seminal трип imprint is an homage to some of the most uncompromising manifestations of electronic music imaginable. Tracing sub-cultures from the 90s to the present day, трип 20 interrogates the boundaries of tempo and form via hardcore, gabber, acid techno and ambient. A mix of unreleased material and essential gems, the ten-track compilation visits трип regulars, esoteric masters and relative newcomers on a voyage to the extremities of a global underground. 

трип 20 continues the tradition of gatefold double EPs as a conceptual album. All of the tracks are selected around a particular story, a trip, and presented as a continuous sonic landscape. All of the tracks are structured in a way that they can be mixed one with another an endless amount of times making a continuous loop, a trip, that needs only end when the party stops. Kraviz works without release dates or deadlines, enabling her to achieve a certain sound bank to shape the story, unmasking the thoughts and unravelling like a dream. 

A1. Biogen – Hexagraphic 

An essential track from one of Iceland’s true underground pioneers, ‘Hexagraphic’ uses frenzied percussion to map out angular geometric oddities. Rhythmic patterns drift in and out whilst an arppeggiated low end and abstract melody interact with each other at high speed. 

A2. PTU – Castor and Pollux 

Animated malfunctions and freeform effects take the lead on this marching workout from Russian duo PTU, first heard on their Boiler Room in Moscow last year and now ready to be unleashed. 

A3. DEKA – Pearl (Nikita Zabelin edit) 

Equal parts gabber and acid, Moscow based Nikita Zabelin’s edit of DEKA’s ‘Pearl’ takes no prisoners with a booming kick and relentless analogue lead. 

B1. Exos – Grasshunter 

Opening up the B side, prolific Icelandic producer Exos administers a dose of uncanny, groove driven 90s techno on this unapologetically minimal, strangely addictive roller. 

B2. Bjarki – 3-1 tap lush 

A distinctive highlight track from Nina’s sets over the past few months - mistuned bells and distressed vocals flurry around cold stabs on a disorienting journey from Icelandic shapeshifter Bjarki. 

C1. Marc Acardipane a.k.a. Pilldriver – Pitch Hiker 

Stripped back, unrelenting hardcore from a 90s legend using raw elements and cavernous acoustics to devastating effect. Marc Acardipane aka Pilldriver aka Mover epitomises the sound of a movement. 

C2. Shadowax – I want to be a stewardess 

Looping vocals welcome you on board for this unfurling trip of multiple guises. What starts as a bare-bone techno sketch evolves into a fucked up mass of breaks, jungle and hardcore from Shadowax, also known as Russian producer and live act Ishome. 

D1. Universal Indicator – 15 c7 

As a sub project from the legendary Rephlex Records, Universal Indicator (aka Aphex Twin) released a series of mostly untitled acid techno with nothing but associated colours from the UI spectrum as reference points. On this merciless cut, reactive chemicals are placed inside a pressure cooker. 

D2. Roma Zuckerman – Zero 

Трип mainstay Roma Zuckerman takes an unexpected turn on this blissful ambient wandering. Cinematic soundscapes contrast natural beauty with computerised glitches, held together by warm, dubbed out synths. Nestled amongst a compilation full of force, ‘Zero’ takes us on a different kind of trip. 

D3. Nina Kraviz - Opa 

Closing off the compilation, Nina delivers an obscure beast of cross-rhythmic machine funk. Shifting rapidly in and out of tempo, ‘Opa’ won’t wait for you to catch up.

Don't You Mess With Cupid, 'Cause Cupid Ain't Stupid.

90年代初頭、密かにRichard D. Jamesとthe Kosmik Kommandoが立ち上げた謎のアシッド・クルーUniversal Indicatorがボートラ付きで奇跡の再発！THIS IS RAVE MUSIC！！

鬱屈した現代への起爆剤！容赦なしのどこまでも“ハード”な100% ピュア・アシッド・ミックス！
インディ〜クラブまで次々と押し寄せる90年代回帰へと捧げる最狂の一枚！時代の“顔” である御代の激レアの初期衝動が大暴走！！

LAの〈100% SILK〉、DCの〈Future Times〉、NYの〈L.I.E.S.〉などオールドスクールへと美学を見いだしたUSインディ地下より沸き上がるダンス・ミュージックの系譜としても俄然盛り上がるアシッド・ハウスに物申す、 ハードコアな一枚が90年代に名門〈WARP〉と並び、テクノ / エレクトロニック・ミュージック史にその名を刻む名門 〈Rephlex〉 より4曲のボートラを付け再発。テン年代以降ビンテージのアナログ・シンセと並び再び脚光を浴びることとなった名機TR606, TB303、SH101、MC202のみで作られた混ざり物一切なしの100%ピュアな電子音と御代の初期衝動がスパーク。ゆるやかなテンションから始まり、徐々にスピードを上げドライブしながら過剰なお祭りモードへと突入、最後はノイズと化し90年代初頭世界同時多発的に蔓延したレイヴの熱気がビンビンに伝わる問答無用のアシッド万世をお見逃しなく！

90年代初頭、セカンド・サマー・オブ・ラブ以降商業へと走ったシカゴ・ハウスの重鎮達へのアンチテーゼとして、Richard D. JamesはMartin Tressider, Mike DredはThe Kosmic Kommandoなる名儀で、その他〈Rephlex〉のメンバーも結集し発足された、今だ多くの謎に包まれるアシッド・ハウス・クルー Universal Indicator。 UKアシッドのパイオニア 808 State, A Guy Called Gerald、Baby Ford などからの影響を受け、自らがレコードで欲しいと思うアシッド・ハウスを体現したプロジェクトであり、 92年〜95年に赤、青、黄、緑の４枚の12”を同レーベルよりリリース。 01年にUltra Violetとして5枚目のUIが〈Beta Bodega〉より掘り起こされ、同年 Mike Dred が未発表も含めた音源を自らでミックスしたアルバム『Innovation In The Dynamics Of Acid』を発表。アナログ・シーケンサー / シンセの名機TR606, TB303、SH101、MC202をメンバ ーに見立て、アシッド・ハウス全盛期におけるレイヴ・ミュージックのバイブレーションを当時のデジタルへと移行するシーンに持ち込み衝撃を走らせる。
