69db magic soundmaker

dharmatechno

Servis Kwéni is the first audiovisual glimpse of Wave Arising . 
It evokes a call from ancestors, a reminder to nature, a return to roots.

Musically,  @69db continues to explore the realms of rave music as he always has. 
In this track he naturally knew how to marry his sound imprint with the symbolic dimension of the dancer's roots . 
Fusioning sound recordings of the Gouro women (Côte d'Ivoire) , bright ambient and aerial layers guitars with a revisited Kayamb (La Réunion) or chaotic dissonances announcing the trance. 

It's this special mixture of traditional influences and bridges between ambient, contemporary and electronic music which creates the original sound of Servis Kwéni .

EOS Radio [004] Wave Arising Live invited by Spekki Webu // June 2022

Wave Arising (@wavearising) aka @69db aka Sebastian Vaughan has lived through many musical movements from hip hop to acid house, rave to hardcore. He began making his own as a drummer and drums remain at the heart of his weightless techno sounds all these years later. That was exemplified once more by his most recent album which is an exercise in rhythm that works equally on mind, body and soul. He has long been a part of several key techno collectives including Spiral Tribe, SP23, R-Zac and Dharma Techno and seeks to bring movement, trance and spirituality to the weightless sounds he makes and plays as Wave Arising alongside the dancer Kynsie.

This week he has put together a special live mix that has been fully improvised in the studio as opposed to a standard DJ selection. It comes ahead of his performance as 69db at Dekmantel Festival this year and is a perfect example of the intense and ritualistic music he makes: it's a tribal soundscape constructed from supple, elongated and heavy rhythms, spaced-out ambient pads and experimental dub movements that are all doused in psychedelic overtones which consumes all your focus.

Wave Arising 𒆜 Patchwork Realities Mix

Next up in our mix series is Wave Arising aka 69db aka Sebastian Vaughan, a pioneering live electronic artist and longtime member of legendary collectives spanning all the way back to the 90s, such as Spiral Tribe, SP23, R-Zac, Stormcore and Network 23 Recordings. Alongside dancer Kynsie, he fuses weightless techno with spiritual and ritualistic elements for the Wave Arising project, creating a new frequency of rave culture through sound and movement. With roots in dub, hip house, acid house, and Detroit techno - and as a co-creator of the hard-Tek/tribe genre—his drummer's foundation keeps his music deeply rhythm-driven, as heard in last year’s release ‘The Rooted Sky’.

In this mix, Sebastian delivers a 90-minute live set that showcases his signature improvisational approach. He experiments with shifting rhythms and layered textures, steadily evolving the energy with a sense of patience and intent. It is as hypnotic as it is groovy - shifting from minimal, polyrhythmic pulses to fuller, weightless grooves.

Ute Mix Series #103 | Wave Arising by 69db (live)

Here's my mix one week later from the Val D'Isére one. As you can hear Liveset improvisation always takes us somewhere else. you could say say "same same but different" . However, this show's clearly how improvised dance music adapts to each night in it's own special way.

69db has been improvising on liveset since 1991.
-
Participating in the very first Spiral Tribe raves in Sept 1990 ( Detention and Expelled at the school house NW London ) led him to more and more involvement with the crew. For the next 6 years, he would be helping to produce the Spiral Sound and releasing their records. Since the Spiral days he’s been very active on the European underground rave circuit. For over 25 years, he has worked all over the world in raves of all kinds from free to commercial.
-
The 69db ethic has always been live Improvised mixing . The idea being the importance of reflecting what is going on on the night. It is only when you get on stage in front of the audience that you know what should be played.
-
Tempo being the key to many styles it has led his mixes to vary with regards to what feels right on the night. From ambient to Hardcore passing by everything in between. However, 69db is best known as being one of the pioneers of the Hard Techno genre.
-
Other than SP23 his most recent project is dharmatechno.org where he improvises at a meditation retreat to bring rave to meditation. These 6 hour mixes show the flexibility of what an improvised livesset can do.
-
69db has worked on many labels such as Trax records chicago, Labworks, Force inc.,Acid orange, Spiral Tribe Records, Network 23 records , Drop Bass records, Rabbit City ......... Much of 69db's output was to be found on Expressillon the Paris based label 1998-2010. For his latest vinyl releases
check out his new label “Improvised Beats” at Toolbox Records, also Paris based .
