"Say hello to Taraval, the new signing on Kieran Hebden's Text label, with their debut EP of mutant, misshapen house and techno trax. There's four cannily skewed but heavily functional groovers, sustaining a smart dancefloor intensity from the pacy Detroit techno momentum of 'Gar's Highway' thru the blown-out, Trilogy Tapes-style warped house of 'Gonna Rain' to a killer acid jacker strongly reminding of Oliverwho Factory's heady aces in 'Streetways', and stripped down Wax/EQ'd styles on 'Doug's Prayer'."

Percussions - KHLHI (TEXT029A)

Third (and last) of my techno trilogy completion exercise. I've had a hectic few months at work and the Black Dog have really got me through it, and not for the first time. I've been playing various early albums and these mixes on repeat, even set up my remaining turntable to give the legendary Rising High EPs a spin. Long have I adored their cutesy, intricate sound since my first encounter with them in 1992; my write-ups on the other two mixes expand on this a little. Long story short, if you're unfamiliar with their work I'd emphatically suggest that you should let them into your life. 
Electronic music with real heart and soul.

Ambient Mix October 2024

In the middle of 2014, with all roads leading to Brazil, DJ, tastemaker and cultural curator Gilles Peterson embarked on the project of a lifetime, his most ambitious to date: setting up camp in a recording studio in Rio to record a sort of love letter to the nation under the artist name “Sonzeira” (meaning a joyful / killer sound). The resulting album “Brasil Bam Bam Bam” was a deeply personal work, bringing together the many authentic sounds and traditions but always through the eyes of an enthusiast inspired by 30 years of DJIng and record collecting. As Gilles said at the time: ‘Brazil’s music culture is massive..There’s the North – Bahia, Recife, the afro-brazilian sound. There’s batucada, the heavy sambas. Then bossa nova - Tom Jobim and all that history. There’s baile funk. There’s Tropicalia and the more soulful, funky scene championed by groups like Banda Black Rio, Trio Mocoto and icons like Gilberto Gil. Such a huge amount of stuff to fit in. I wanted to try and cover it all – to make a kind of Buena Vista meets club culture, but to keep it sonically very modern.’ The album included star turns from Brazilian superstars young and old, including ‘City of God’ actor and singer Seu Jorge, the grande dame of samba, 76-year-old powerhouse Elza Soares, and world-renowned percussionist Nana Vasconcelos. Of course, this was a Gilles Peterson record and so there was also many left turns -  who else would come up with Emanuelle Araujo’s bossa nova take on the 80s UK jazz-funk hit Southern Freeez, or draft in Seun Kuti (youngest son of Fela) to join the dots between modern day Brazil and the slave ships that bought poly-rhythms from Africa 400 years ago.

Of course, with roots so deep in the interesting edges of club culture it was natural for Gilles to continue this journey into new sonic territories. As such he has spent the last 6 months curating this new album “Brasil Bam Bam Bass” drafting in some of his favourite producers, friends, and associates to reimagine tracks from the album, with all the taste and good judgement you would expect. Much like the original record this is a very personal curation, a considered work that saw Gilles hand pick producers to re-imagine the album track by track - these include At Jazz, FaltyDL, DJ Oil, Kyodai, Max Graef and many more. Also included on this double CD are some wonderful outtakes (including the sublime reworking of Yusef lateef’s Plum Blossom previously only on the vinyl box set of the album), and dubbed out alternative versions of several tracks by Gilles’ Sonzeira co-producer Dillip Harris.          

If the original record was about examining Gilles own history and love for every quarter of Brasil’s sound, this provides a further glimpse into Gilles’ creative mind, ever serching for connections between rhythms; exciting, imaginative and original productions. Most of all this is a record where respect for the source material continues to shine through. 

Que sonzeira! 

Gilles Peterson presents Sonzeira Brasil Bam Bam Bass - The Out Takes and Remakes: Curated with Love will be released on double CD on Brownswood Recordings on the 9th February.

Luke Vibert Mix on Gilles Peterson Worldwide (GPWW947)

Phonica Mix Series 130 welcomes an artist who has defined and defied the rules of drum & bass like no other. dBridge, real name Darren White has been in the game for well over 30 years. Growing up listening to artists like DJ Randall & Grooverider on Rush FM when he was starting out shaped his ear for the sound that he would learn to grow with, love and mutate. With over 100 records released on labels like R&S, Convex, Metalheadz, Nonplus and more that span well into the 90's dBridge has become a pioneer well in his own right. Not only that but his label Exit Records which not too long ago celebrated its 100th release has been a output determined to push the boundaries of experimental bass, D&B and more. 
Having usually referred to himself as being producer first, it is not to be mistaken that White is a seasoned pro behind the decks. Having stepped into Worlds of his own playing with some of Drum & Bass' biggest names like Doc Scott & Goldie, the artist has also stepped into lengthy b2b's with Bass artist Youngsta and Techno legend Donato Dozzy (which he will do once more this Summer at Dekmantel). 
For this mix dBridge has dedicated it to people around him, a friends and family mix of sorts. With heavy bassy tones from the get go and experimental techno and electro flowing throughout - it showcases the sure diversity of one of the best to do it! We had a brief chat with dBridge about the mix and what he has coming up.

Vibe (Jazzbeat)

Joy Orbsion is someone we have a long and fruitful relationship with here at Dekmantel. He is, and always has been, a pure embodiment of UK dance music. His sound is steeped in English musical history (often explicitly in the form of sampled monologues) but also very much makes a new history of its own. He’s had countless underground hits from his definitive post-dubstep breakthrough ‘Hyph Mngo’ to his peak time tech tools with Boddika, and each one marks a mini reinvention of his style. What ties them all together, though, is O’Grady’s unique penchant for blending garage, bass, funky, house, techno and old school jungle into his own fresh concoctions. 

The two hour podcast he has served up here -as a perfect warm up to our festival this weekend- is split into two parts. Says the artist himself, “the first half is basically a way of showcasing producers that are doing great things at the moment and is completely made up of new, unreleased music, and the second half is basically winding things down with a load of stuff from my record collection. A come down, of sorts.” Starting with a spoken word snippet from his jungle playing uncle Ray Keith, the mix is initially atmospheric and moody, with sleek and stripped back drums and smeared synths making for a heady and intimate mood. After picking up through skewed bass patterns and skeletal techno, the second half seduces with elegiac rhythms, jazz selections and spoken word tracks as well as delicious soul sounds, reggae and stoned broken beat.  The results show exactly where Orbison is at musically, as well as offering an insight into where he has come from.

New album Man Vs. Sofa out now on On-U Sound and Tectonic Recordings: http://www.smarturl.it/manvsofa

“A masterclass in soundscaping mystery and imagination which somehow yokes together the individual producer/DJs’ separate territories.” - The Independent

“Veers through four decades of dub, dancehall, rave and beyond. At every turn it bubbles with the delight of discovery, and shows the alchemical reaction between the two studio personae coming along very nicely indeed.” - The Wire 

“A tungsten-heavy slab of future dubscapes perfect for blowing 2016’s innumerable cobwebs away” - Q

“Supreme bass abstraction from two potent voices.” - Clash

Sherwood & Pinch DJ Mix

A Scott Grooves set is always an education in form. The Detroit born DJ was among the key players invited by Soul Clap to launch their fabric album earlier in the year. While the guys shared a snippet of this set as part of their own highlights from the night on Rinse FM shortly after the do, we wanted to release a longer excerpt. It just shows of Grooves masterful selecting style perfectly - his ability to switch deftly between percussive funk, electro and techno. We feel everyone should have a chance to experience it.
