SPOKEN031 - Mode_1

Mode_1 is next on our ongoing mix series, a man with experience. He is an Irish dj/producer from the city of Dublin who has put out numerous EP's on labels such as Knotweed Records and Fiedeltwo, while also being a resident at Subject Dublin and District 8. 

We asked him a while back to make a mix for us and we are not dissapointed. Enjoy an hour of stellar mixing, good selection and groove.

Born in Madrid, living somewhere in Europe, Irazu’s connection with electronic music is just a symbol of sonic expressionism of self discovery to try to know what and who he is.

Starting his contribution to music as a promoter of parties in Madrid, making music and releasing records was a necessary way to express emotions that he felt a few years later.

His first records came out in the last two years in Kastil’s label ‘’Stale’’, working with artists like Acronym, Regis, Pessimist and Kastil, ‘’Study for portrait’’ was released giving again his personal vision of techno as a mini album.

After a few more releases in Platforms like Hooded or Artificial intelligence and some remixes, Irazu released ‘’140.15 EP’’ on Kastil’s label Stale giving his most intense and dance focused tracks he ever made.

Irazu continues his constant search of new sounds and ways to explore his mind through music.

His influences comes specially from the UK west Midlands, Holland, Italy and Spain, figures like Regis, Svreca, Autechre, Oscar Mulero, Donato Dozzy, Luke Slater or Surgeon are a way to define what he believes in a sonic way.

He defines his work as ‘’A intimate space between tension and false tranquility’’

Reclaim Your City #462 with Arkan - 20 Novembre 2021

Dear Knotweed and Decision Making Theory friends and followers,

We are getting to the end of 2021, and what a year it was. To celebrate 10 years of existence of Knotweed Records, we released 8 vinyl during the course of the year. We also released one Decision Making Theory.

The idea behind the mix is to show that with 45 releases, Knotweed has always been coherent in its approach to techno: you can easily mix a track released in  2012 with a track released in 2021.

The mix encompasses a track of each vinyl released in 2021, as well as some oldies and some previews of what is to come in 2022.

Thanks to Dying, Mattias Fridlell and Alexander Johansson, Javadeep, Andrea Belluzzi, Joaquin Ruiz, The Plant Worker, Rove Ranger, Mode_1, Myk Derill, echologist and Gonzalo MD for delivering such great music during the last 12 months.

Thanks to all the people who have supported the labels by buying our releases in vinyl and digital format: without you this would not have been  possible!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all, and hopefully see you in a dark and sweaty basement in 2022!

Best regards, Philippe
