@suction-records recently crossed a pretty incredible milestone. The Canadian imprint, founded by Jason Amm (@solvent) and Gregory De Roche (@lowfish), has just celebrated its 25th anniversary. For more than two and half decades the label has curated a wealth of music, unearthed unheard artists and brought smiles to the faces of the electronic faithful.

WE FORFEIT, after a serious amount of datebook duelling, managed to catch up with Jason just before the Christmas. The result? A two hour show that charts the very first synthesizer steps of Solvent and Lowfish, the growth of their unique style of electronics and the evolution of the imprint and sound. 

From High School encounters and fax machine correspondences to Detroit recognition, Solvent maps how two Canadians broke onto the scene in the early 1990s. From these humble beginning, Amm describes new directions in his sound and the elation at discovering Rx-101. As Suction has evolved, so does the conversation with synth wave, coarse acid and braindance musings all coming to the fore.

Thanks very much to Solvent for chatting with us, thanks so much for all the years of music.

Radio Relativa #34 - Interview - Solvent (Suction)

“I am inspired everyday by the idea of what can be accomplished.” Words from the Aurora Illinois Composer/Producer/Instrumentalist who has devoted his life to communicating through musical expression.
	WooliebuGGer began creating music at the age of 14, through independent exploration and self-taught skill. He made connections with friends who introduced him to the convenience of samplers and synthesizers. Years of experimentation and practice has brought him to produce music in the Electronic, Minimal, Ambient, Glitch, and Experimental genres. Each song he develops is individual and raw. He has the unique ability construct a song with elements of the 90’s, but still is distinctive in nature. The innovative artist places no limitation on creativity and ensures that his pursuit is done out of “pure passion and love for the art form.” A few of the artists who have undeniably influenced and shaped WooliebuGGer’s style today include Brian Eno, Kraftwerk,Oval, Mouse on mars, Future Sound Of London, Cornershop, Boards Of Canada, Aphex Twin, Luke Vibert, Stereolab, Bruce Haack, Perry Kingsly, Pink Floyd, The doors, and The Beatles. These artists, in one way or another, have reminded him of the exact reason he became so captivated with music. WooliebuGGer is a creative who insists on taking on challenges and taking new approaches. He is a wearer of many hats and enjoys his multi-faceted capabilities. 
Be sure to give his latest album, “Stellar Communication” a listen, and keep up with all the happenings of this tenacious artist!

Modulations is back — with a new musical direction.

In this next chapter, the podcast will focus mainly on live performances from electronic music artists who embrace a DIY approach to creativity — many of whom perform at EMOM and similar grassroots events.

Over the past few years, I’ve been attending various EMOM (Electronic Music Open Mic) events across the north of England. It’s at these gatherings that I’ve discovered some incredible talent — from both familiar and often unknown artists. This includes close friends, whom I’ve had the pleasure of watching take to the stage and perform for the very first time. The whole experience has been inspiring — and eye (or ear) opening, to say the least.

In addition to live performances, I’ll occasionally upload DJ sets — from myself and a few handpicked others. No genre boundaries — just the good stuff.

If you create live electronic music — whether you play at EMOM events or elsewhere — I’d love to hear from you.
