Dâdalus & Bikarus LIVE - HORRORSCOPE 5 @ Sameheads 25.03.23

To come ‘Full Circle’ is to travel the path and arrive back at the point you think you left from.

Full Circle, also known as Alexis Le-Tan (Wonders Ovze World) and Joakim (Tigersushi, Crowdspacer), a long term project with close friends Le-Tan and Joakim music project and “concept band born from loving ears that want to re-process our electronic past.”

They’ve delivered some amazing edits of obscure Goa tracks and remixed the likes of Die Orangen, 10Lec6, and Tapan and released on Good Morning Tapes and Vladimir Ivkovic’s Offen.

“To complete a journey is to learn and to slow down and re-imagine is to enrich – Full Circle hears the hedonistic sound of the 90’s in a light that reflects a different space for our current time and beyond. Always bridging the gap between the past and present: they are and continue to go Full Circle.”
 

You got that? Good… then let’s get our ears round their first recorded mix action and dig into their minds a bit more.

https://soundcloud.com/marcpinol & https://soundcloud.com/hugo-capablanca: This mix was recorded live at Zurich's long-lasting, true iconoclast event series, Spezialmaterial, currently being solely programmed by decades in the business, connoisseur curator Cio Assereto, and holding the longest residence known at iconic Swiss club Zukunft. Usually a slot reserved for nothing short of legendary figures like thee one and only Andrew Weatherall (their most regular guest) or Optimo (their second most?), an open-to-end set at Spezialmaterial is certainly not for everyone. A journey into the weirder dark corners of club music? An energetic yet hypnotic psychedelic trip? We'll let you be the judges of that. It is certainly 100% C.P.I. at its essence. Dive in with an open mind and ye shall be rewarded.

C.P.I. is the collaborative effort from long-time Hivern Discs operative Marc Piñol, a staple in Barcelona’s underground electronic scene and one of its most revered DJs, and Berlin-based artist, DJ and self proclaimed dilettante, Hugo Capablanca who runs his somewhat iconic label(s) Discos/ Ediciones Capablanca.

Bound by a shared love of drone luminaries, ’80s electronica experimentalists, early acid house adopters, mutant techno and forward-thinking industrial sounds, the duo wrote their first Ep El Tunel/ Proceso in a whirlwind and, released on 2015 on John Talabot’s imprint, positioned themselves among the most talked club acts of the moment, earning both press and public acclaim with an innovative blend of their influences and modern production techniques that became easily distinguishable.

In 2018 their sophomore Ep Meine Hand is released. That same year C.P.I. receive the prestigious RTF Foundation composer’s grant and work for months in what consolidates in their debut album, Alianza.
Released on 2020 to wide critical acclaim, the LP featured Anna Homler, Veronica Vasicka and Spacemen 3 members, among others, and represented a pivotal shift in the duo’s creative output, leaving aside dancefloor concerns towards a fully immersive sound experience.

On May 2021 C.P.I. performed their first-ever live show in Barcelona deconstructing Alianza into a dark ambient maelstrom. Ambient Blackout, the live recording of the show, released end of 2023 on Ediciones Capablanca.

First hour at the last Almost Exotic event at Sameheads where i've hosted Odopt & Lily Haz.

"First and last hours of parties are always my favourite to play, and in this particular one i enjoyed playing my "Empty Dancefloor" folder off my stick, playing some of my favourite songs and rhythms to a an empty space, infusing it with the vibrations and energies, building it up to the spark that will ignite the party. You can consider this hour as the buildup, i dunno. Enjoy"

https://soundcloud.com/konsistent: This mix turned out to be pretty eclectic, as with all of my mixes. I tend to not care about the genres so much, but instead focus on creating a flow or a story with the music. This time I wanted to focus on synthier stuff with twists of kraut, psychedelic, and world popping up here and there but also music from friends and labels I represent. The mix was recorded using only vinyl records from my collection with very few edits, so it has a very live feel to it. While recording it I was imagining a warm summer evening somewhere by the water surrounded by curious and smiling faces.

KonsIstent is a synth lover, gear nerd, producer, and record collector hailing from Vilnius and residing in Copenhagen for the past 18 years. His music appeared on a wide range of labels like Macadam Mambo, Eine Welt, Space Ritual, Elsewhere, Brokntoys/Endless Illusion, and LIO Press. As a record digger and selector, he explores the leftfield sounds from the last half-century. Kons has also been involved in organizing electronic music events in the past while being part of Untitled Tricks and Club Juma crews. Nowadays, he is a household selector for Noisy Beehive, an independent collective and label, focusing on organizing quality concerts all over Copenhagen. Sometimes you can catch Kons playing live with his gear if you're lucky. In that case, you're up for some hypnotic live performance, that goes deeper and more complex every time with the introduction of new instruments and fresh sounds. His productions somehow merge together different and distant aspects of the sound he is inspired by. Having a special passion for 80s wave music and Krautrock, he reaches unforeseeable freedom of experimentation in his live performances. It is music that slowly engulfs the listener’s full attention, syncing it completely with those spellbounding rhythms.

Recorded by @freybenedikt in anticipation of Kappa Futur Festival in Torino from July 5 to July 7. Go to bit.ly/KappaFrey to read the interview.

Benedikt Frey – Kappa Futur 2024 Mix

In October 2023, Cosmo Vitelli @cosmo-vitelli played an unforgettable set at System Shanghai, thrilling the electronic music community. He later recalled it as one of the best time of his touring experiences. It's rare to see Cosmo Vitelli appear on a radio show these days, aside from his and DJ Sundae’s monthly NTS show, No Weapon Is Absolute. So, we are extremely thrilled and grateful to welcome him back to China through this summertime transmission.

Cosmo Vitelli has created a universe of his own. As the label captain of I’m A Cliché, he has been releasing music from some of the most exciting sounds since 2004, including Red Axes, Simian Mobile Disco, Azari & III, and many more. The label's name references Poly Styrene and X-Ray Spex, reflecting his deep love for punk and DIY culture from the late 70s. This influence traces back to his early days in Paris in the 90s when post-punk and krautrock played significant roles in shaping his sound. In other part of this universe, he has been tirelessly exploring and impacting electronic dance music as an esteemed producer since his first release in 1998.

Without further ado, let’s dive into this special treat.

QUIET CHAOS w / Cosmo Vitelli at 百会 Baihui - 06/08/2024

STOMACH PROBLEM w/ ODOPT & RIDWAN - Saturday 28th September 2024

Ivan Smagghe is taking over next hour! Not sure if there is much left to say about Monsieur Smagghe that hasn't been written in a FB event for the last decade or so (describing a career in electronic music spanning over 25 years)... Ivan has always been one of the biggest inspirations on MT with his innovativeness and his approach to the dancefloor and its always the best of pleasures to have him on board....

2021's first mix in line comes all the way from sunny Australia by dear friend Lauren Hansom (@laurenhansom). Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Welcome on board Lauren. How was your start of the new year? It's summer where you are now right? That must be nice :)

LH: Hiii! Thanks for having me onboard :) The New Year has been great. Spent time surfing & soaking up sunshine in Australia.

MFM: You moved back to Australia last year. What has been keeping you busy there since? 

LH: I moved from Amsterdam to Berlin at the end of 2019 and went to Oz in February 2020 for a holiday. COVID hit, so I ended up staying. An easy decision with nature, beaches, food etc. Although, I’ve pretty much been living out of a suitcase as the majority of my stuff is in Berlin. I bought a Yamaha RM1X & a Poly800 last year to do some music and learnt The Mandalorian theme tune. I’ve also been learning more about quantum mechanics & biology plus space, which actually led me to find more cosmic sounds in genres from IDM to new wave for example. Imagining space with a multitude of soundscapes is pretty neat. 

MFM: While many DJs jumped on the streaming bandwagon it looks like you kept rather quiet over the last months. Is that for a reason? Did you maybe find other ways to creatively let go, or...?

LH: Thought you wouldn’t have noticed - was secretly trying to pull off a “Homer Simpson disappearing into the hedge”. Streaming is a great way for people to stay connected given the circumstances. For me, having a live crowd is always part of my process. No crowd, no party (or a one person party - not bad for these days, actually...). Also not having any gear here made it hard, especially with lockdown and social distancing.

MFM: Things were going really well for you as a DJ, your career seemed to be in a lift. What do you now hope for when touring becomes an option again? Has 2020 changed your perspective? 

LH: Thank you for saying so. I was pretty overwhelmed by how often I was playing and am grateful for it. It’s still very much a “pinch-my-arm” thought. I really would love to continue sharing tunes & creating musical experiences in some capacity. I’ve been thinking about Music Supervision within film & TV, so have been spending time on the side looking into that.

MFM: I've heard quite a few DJs saying they lost the urgency or need to listen to dance(floor) music. How is that for you? Have you been keeping track with new music lately at all? 

LH: I’m always listening to different styles, especially non-club music as it’s sort of where I started. Although I’ve enjoyed the holiday of not having to find a billion new tracks before every weekend, I’ve still been following new releases & it’s been interesting to hear how music has been shaped by the pandemic.

MFM: How would you describe that shape shifting? 

LH: I noticed more people collaborating from afar due to social distancing, restrictions and general lockdown. I think this allowed for some experimentation in a way and often that leads to something surprising and new. Sonically and stylistically, I think 2020 was really diverse as opposed to previous years where there was definitely a “Sound of Summer” so to say. There were also a great deal of compilations for new music to support artists affected by event cancellations and club closures.

MFM: About the mix, do you actually prefer a mix request to come with some kind of theme or direction to it, or do you value the freedom more? 

LH: Both. It’s nice having a brief as it gives you boundaries & pushes your creativity. Sometimes too much freedom can make it difficult. That said, I’m always imaging stories & daydreaming, so often the imagery in my mind’s eye gives me a good starting point. Once I have an idea, I create a selection of music & work out a way to make it all flow until there is some sense of an emotional ark & musical journey.
