Recording from nitsa night on december 17th 2021

John Talabot dj set @Nitsa (17Dec21)

Berlin based DJ and producer Soela has been on our radar for a while now. She has been known for her mesmerizing, multi-genre mixes and has released on well respected labels such as Dial, Kompakt and Shall Not Fade.  

“I recorded this mix after a gig in Tresor. I was inspired by it but wanted something relaxing, some non-dance, and warm music with a nostalgic spark. I included quite some different genres as I usually do: this mix is a journey between trippy electronica, ambient, minimal and jazzy house, and neoclassic. I included some pieces by Anton Zap, Lusine, Sven Weisemann, Hania Rani, and Kelela.”

As I often play these records alongside newer releases, I realized most of those classics were more than 25 years old, I thought of compiling them together to show where dub tech comes from and how timeless most of these tracks are...Take a record like Round Four, discovered for a lot of people like me on Daniel Bell's mix (2000) The button down mind of Daniel Bell. More than 25 years onwards, you can look at a record like this, alongside Baby Ford and early Ricardo Villalobos as the blueprint for modern minimal and dubby electronic music, but that would imply that those genres later improved upon the overall formula. In reality, few got even close to as good as this. The origins of a genre is often more important than newer releases.  ''If you do not know where you come from, then you don't know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you're going...''  (Terry Pratchett, I Shall Wear Midnight)

The Origins Of Dub Techno

Phantasy’s long-running mix series continues apace with a contribution from a key figure in London’s electronic and alternative underground, Casper Clark. Perhaps best known under his former Volte-Face alias, this wide-ranging hour finds Clark reigniting his fundamentally eclectic sensibility, seamlessly blending records from Black Merlin, Idjut Boys and The Parallax Corporation, spanning twenty-five years of music at the authentic margins.

 PHANTASYMIX 52 by Casper Clark is available to stream now from Apple Music and on Soundcloud, alongside dozens of mixes from the label archive.

“I started DJing nearly 20 years ago, at least partially inspired by the way Erol used to play at Trash and later Bugged Out and beyond. I was lucky enough to book him over the years at our Adventures In The Beetroot Field parties as well as Field Day and even the Lock Tavern, which I used to programme back then. As I drifted more towards exploring techno under my Volte-Face moniker, our paths diverged somewhat, and a few years went by when I didn't bump into him or see him play all that often. So this mix feels like a homecoming of sorts, and an expression of a rekindled musical freedom and a cherished friendship. I even managed to squeeze in a track by Tiga, who was another formative influence for me. I hope it's as fun to listen to the mix as it was to make it.” - Casper Clark

PHANTASYMIX 52: Casper Clark

Originally made in 2017, a sunday chill out / downtempo session which features some of my favorites. A laidback trip for the road, ideally in a Westfalia circa 1974 ;-) Selection contains numerous shining gems in the form of slowed-down remixes that you haven't heard in this form before. Be it dubby special versions, or the classic trip-hop and downbeat tunes of the 90's and 2000's.

Jane Fitz's London studio session had it all - from acid bangers and uncomprimising techno to dreamy ambiance and deep psychedelic jams → blrrm.tv/JaneFitz

Jane Fitz Boiler Room London Studio DJ Set

@dannydaze has proven incredibly hard to pin down since he first emerged. After starting down a path that very quickly took him to the best clubs in the world but off the back of a sound that wasn't really his, he has managed to rewrite perceptions. After deciding to do things his own way, at his own pace, he is now known for what he really loves: techno, electro and IDM. Just recently he continued his collaborative work with Brazilian RHR on four dark, gritty and evocative cuts on OmniDisc, and has more music on the way soon on Schematic Records. 

This mix hints at what to expect from that EP, says Danny. "Due to the current conditions, I decided to go with chill zone session for this one mixed live with a bunch of the styles that influenced me over the last 20 years. Went a bit more trip-hop/IDM/electro with it which points to the direction the upcoming EP and album later in the year. Hope everyone has a nice week." So strap in for two freewheeling hours of interplanetary sonics, churning rhythms and otherworldly cinematics that will start your week right.
