German Daniel Ansorge, aka Barnt, is a DJ and producer who, in his own way, sticks to the Bauhaus principle: he makes music that has nothing in it that isn’t totally necessary or functional. With this rough blueprint, he has conjured up some unsettling techno on his own Magazine label as well as Matias Aguayo’s Cómeme. Mule and Hinge Finger have also come calling for his works, and despite their minimalist approach, they are textured and hypnotic, strange and subversive. Last year he toured the US for the first time, and he's already a very welcome guest at Europe's forward thinking clubs. So after years of quiet toil, he is now getting the recognition he deserves around the world.  

The fascinating mix he serves up is suitably spooky and chilling to start, with ambient drones, soft drums and haunting pads all operating on a bleak horizontal plane. Later on some sleek metal grooves and post apocalyptic techno gets you on your toes before everything decays back to a dystopian nothingness. It makes for quite the trip and offers a snapshot of the sort of thing you can expect from the man when working in either the DJ booth or home studio.

Check out this beautiful podcast Saschienne did for Groove Magazine. No, really, we mean it: check it out, download it, savor it. Even our usual reluctance towards caps can not, I repeat: can NOT deter us from stressing how unbelievably, utterly beautiful this selection is. AND there is this very nice interview, so total immersion should come easy: http://www.groove.de/2012/03/28/groove-podcast-06-saschienne.

X.L.F. - 9am at Juer (Original Mix)

In the winter of 2016, producer X.L.F. (xiaolinfeng) presented his electronic music program ‘Random Voices’ on a ten-city tour across China. 

This ‘Random Voices’ project was a series of exploratory, multi-sensory performances that tapped into the defining spatial and temporal sounds of each city — whether industrial or organic, conscious or subconscious — in an effort to record the unrecordable: the unique, underlying feeling of place.

Visual artist Wang Ye Ding has continued experimenting with imagery over the past four years since his project ‘squirrel attack.’ For Wang Ye Ding, adding a visual element to electronic dance music is an exercise in exploring the deep relationship between sound and vision, striving to present a visceral, sensory experience through the exploration of tone, balance, texture and color.

This crossover project between X.L.F. and Wang Ye Ding is a convergence of musical and visual disciplines, two complementary layers of artistic perception that seek to intensify the experience for the audience.
2016年冬天，X.L.F.带着他的电子音乐分享计划 - Random Voices开始十城寻游，用声音和影像为每座城市制造电气巴比伦。Random Voices以分享与记录声音为根源，寻找和发现每座城市里自然、情感真实、放松的声音，并与他们一同设计和制作属于各个城市的声像，留下所有不经意却无法复刻的记忆。
从Squirrel Attack 系列作品至今的4年多时间，插画艺术家Wang Ye Ding一直在图像构建的过程中遵循数字化思维，系统的建立其画面中缜密和谐的音乐感。将电子舞曲平面化视为寻找音乐和绘画间深层次通感的一种探索练习：感受音乐的基调、声音层次间的微妙关系、每一轨音色的质感和色彩，通过冥想和缜密计算后呈现出二维的视觉体验。
此次Wang Ye Ding与Random Voices 制作人肖林丰的跨界合作，正是音乐秩序下的画面与充满画面感的音乐的一次交融汇合。
