90s Techno Redux - Mix 003

Representing the nordic underground Jessie Granqvist is behind the wheels of steel this week, delivering groovy and hypnotic tunes for your listening pleasure. A resident at Under Bron Stockholm as well as at Tarantim Göteborg and Hypnotic Woods, Jessie has been one of the most booked DJs in the Stockhom underground scene for years. While she has previously been focused on perfecting her selection and mixing, it is now rumored that she spends a lot of time in the studio, building club weapons in secret. We are thrilled to have her on the podcast and are eager to see what she will surprise us with next!

BCCO Podcast 109: Jessie Granqvist

Welcome to Yax Invites. This is a mix series curated by myself, based in Adelaide, with the purpose of creating a library of quality mixes and showcasing talent from around the world.

Episode 1 is full of loopy, hypnotic, and trippy grooves, featuring tracks from many up and coming artists in the techno world.

Yax Invites #001 - Yax

After some plausible backstory the 88756 program was born - the first computer algorithm to be truly indistinguishable from man. Designed to explore concepts such as individuality and what it means to be human, it quickly adopted a creative pursuit in techno.

The program's sound consists of overly complex, evolving synthesis and the liberal butchering of drum machine samples - described by one individual as "the soundtrack to a futuristic pacman but like it's also a 3D shooter".

Its 3 years of activity have produced works available on many local and international imprints, including @connection-verified (Melbourne), @otomotrax and more recently Soma sub label @avoidantrecords.

Expect a journey through all things electro, techno, and industrial for episode 2 of Yax Invites.

Due to the great response I've had with the mix series so far, I've decided to release episodes weekly for the rest of the year. Dave.LK is my first international guest and is based out of Gothenburg, Sweden, offering up 90 minutes of straight up banging techno. Here are some words from him about the mix:

"I don't think I'm the only one that has dived into the loopier, oldschool sounds over the past couple years. This mix sits around 142-144 bpm, my favorite tempo range which I rarely move outside of. Starts off lighter and trippier and ends up in the heavier style which initially got me into techno. 
Enjoy!"

Framework co-founder SJ takes the reins for Episode 4 of Yax Invites. Have a read of his bio below, along with some words about his contribution towards the mix series:

I am a 21-year-old DJ based in Manchester UK and co-founder of Manchester based collective and podcast series, Framework. 

My first route into electronic music was around the age of 15 where I started to get in to house music, leading me to gain a strong love for Chicago and Detroit house. Around this time, I basically used to spend hours listening to music on YouTube and through these algorithms I discovered tracks such as Black Russian and all DVS1s early Klockworks releases which remain some of my favourite pieces of music, with DVS1 being my idol and main source of inspiration, and essentially opened up a whole new musical world to me.

This in turn led me deeper into the electronic music spectrum, sparking an interest in Detroit techno, resulting in me seeing artists such as Robert Hood in my mid to late teens. Ever since I have built a strong passion for techno, delving deeper and deeper into the many different facets of the genre which has resulted in my current taste, revolving particularly around deep, sci-fi and mental hypnotic techno as I see this as more than just simply music, it is something much more powerful than that and the ability of music and sonics to alter your mind states and moods on the dance floor is something I find fascinating.

I love the concept of an extended mix series as I feel that extended mixes are the best way to truly portray your sound and tell your story, as opposed to feeling the need to hammer it out from the off which is the instinct that can arise with shorter mixes. 

For this mix I aimed to tell a story, weaving in different atmospheres and textures to build tension and have different twists and turns before ending on some groovier sounds and old school Detroit classics.

VOLTAGE Podcast is a bi-weekly podcast series, broadcasting both upcoming and well-established artists within the techno scene. Every episode features a lengthy set surrounded by a spoken in- & outro. The full story, including an in-depth interview and handwritten tracklist by each artist, can be found on our website: voltageimprint.com/en/podcast

With her debut release on Coincidence Records in 2018, AADJA will go on to put out a few more projects before scoring an acclaimed 6 track record on Nina Kraviz’s Trip Recordings. ‘Thought Dealer’ hit the scene just last year in 2021, proposing a very relevant collection of tracks high in tempo and in tension. In there, you can hear quite a few worlds - the closer ‘Still Wired’ takes the listener on a nostalgic 160+ bpm acid trance highway, while tracks like ‘Hypomania’ balance it out with a more groovy and tunneling techno that include her own hypnotic vocals and wide filter sweeps and 16th stabs. 

Her career in DJing could only gain traction after a release like that, making her Boiler Room debut in Toronto last year and her 1st Possession in Paris this year in February. With a few more tricks up her sleeve for the coming year, 2022 is looking like her best one yet.

"The set is showcasing what I'm seeking to produce during my gigs at the moment, a mind trip between genres intensity and mood. For this podcast I've carefully gathered a lovely bunch of unreleased tracks from my closest gang in Paris (Mac Declos, Uf095, Vel or Lacchesi) combined with stripped out tunes.

For me, the art of mixing is like telling a story, with a super-deep common thread. I don't like banging or tripping for two hours, on the contrary, I love when you can navigate through uncharted and unexpected territories. You do nothing but undoubtedly find the proper balance. In a way, the mix is all about this feeling. "

Awakenings Podcast S209 - François X

@boris is kind of a charismatic, multifunctional weapon in the Berlin club life. His musical roots reach back to the mid 80s, when he lived in New York for four years where he absorbed the unique spirit of the seminal club Paradise Garage weekend after weekend. From the Club’s mentor Larry Levan Boris learned to believe in his musical intuition as well as a broad musical spectrum, which nowadays ranges from Disco, Hi-NRG, Post-Punk and (Kraut-) Rock to House and Techno, all of which Boris loves to throw into one set. “Music was most important for Levan. He was uncompromising and he knew how to convey it. That’s what I’m trying to achieve, too, when I’m djing.”

Many years later, Boris became a resident at Panorama Bar’s first incarnation in Berlin, where he was able to build a loyal following by playing long sets lasting until noon. “The crowd is always a lot more receptive for music at the end than at the beginning. That’s when I rather have the opportunity to present unusual stuff and that’s when I’m able to let my feelings run freely.”

After the old OstGut/Panorama Bar closed in 2003, Boris played in almost every club in Berlin, but when the follow up club Berghain opened its doors in 2004, he quickly focused on playing out here again. From 2005 till 2010 he had another musical platform, as he was taking care of the label Careless Records as an A&R. As a DJ, he is not exactly keen on refining a certain genre, but rather to push music with a certain twist.
