My next guest on Yax Invites is Dale, a DJ from Adelaide, Australia.

Recorded and mixed with one take on two turntables and a Xone 92, member of Adelaide’s soundcloud.com/visitors618 collective, Dale takes us on a hypnotic journey through the minimal, dubby, and melodic aspects of techno with tracks spanning 30 years, creating a composition of sound equally suited to the dancefloor or loungeroom.

My next guest on Yax Invites is Code618.

Residing in Adelaide, Australia, Code618 is a veteran of all things electronic music, obsessive crate digger and curator of techno and house sounds for over 30 years.

After hearing sonic explorations from Detroit, Chicago and Europe over the crackle of late night radio in the early 90s his radar was locked. For this mix he has delved deep into the vinyl archives for a retro inspired set of 90’s classics and newer releases on a similar tip. 

Mixed 100% on vinyl via venerable Technics 1200’s and DJM-600 in between Code618 leverages experience DJing during the 90’s in the burgeoning Adelaide techno scene.  Expect sounds from Jeff Mills, Dave Clarke, Surgeon, DJ Rush, Ausgang, Frozen Border and Joey Beltram to name a few….

My next guest on Yax Invites is 1 auxy.

Birthed from the grit and grime of the mid-nineties Midwest rave scene. Born and currently residing in Akron, Ohio, USA. Inspired by the music and DJ’s coming out of Detroit, Chicago, New York, Berlin, the UK and the parties that were happening across the Midwestern United States during that magickal time. 1 Auxy began his obsession with record collecting and DJ’ing in 1995 in Akron and Cleveland. Warehouse parties and club nights. Late nights and early mornings. Techno, house music and the intersection where they meet. Raw, soulful, psychedelic. Mixing new and old. All for the love of the music. No bullshit. No gimmicks. 

"I really like this one. Starts off with ambient and more experimental jams, builds into a deep super heady techno set and ends with some dub techno from Maurizio and a house cut from Cassy. Really nice flow to it. Kind of like condensing a party into an hour and a half".

My next guest on Yax Invites is Adelaide techno veteran, Ben Alibi, who has kindly prepared an interesting write up to support his mix for the series below.

Good records offer an insight into another existence - be it here on Earth, or the far flung reaches of our imaginations. Speaking personally, the valuable ones are usually something I continue to find something new in and are as appreciated being played right through, or mixed as a portion in a set. 

When DJing, I feel the focus should be on the music itself; I've only ever used two sources at once and I like to believe that in some ways there's fewer places to hide when it's just you and two tracks. Knowing how to juggle three (or more) decks well would be awesome though! 

I always go back to hearing Jeff Mills play over two nights, during the mid 90's. Night one was his 3-turntable power mix - which was amazing to watch first-hand! However, night two was performed on two decks only, whereby it felt to me like the level of intensity and audience involvement was counter-intuitively higher. Furthermore, it seemed like the track selection went deeper and everything being aired reached its full potential. 

As such, I believe a DJ's role is simply to work productions together, so as to best highlight the standout parts of each track simultaneously - anything more, or less, only detracts from what should be at the core of it all; individual human expression, through techno music. 

This mix has plenty of personal old favourites - tracks that we (my generation) would associate with a night out in Adelaide during the early 90's. I'm old enough to remember this period fondly and with good reason as Adelaide, South Australia truly was the underground techno capital (outpost) of Australia - if not the southern hemisphere - primarily due to being the base for the formative label, Juice Records. 

The current generation of contributors should certainly feel proud of our foundations, but crucially, remember that so much has changed. We're totally just a grain of sand on a beach now, but something big has been achieved here before, so it's certainly possible again.
 
From my perspective, if there's one thing to take from our history here, it's that we be totally confident in our unique way of doing things as that's core to our sustainability; moreover, it's what someone on the receiving end 'buys into'. 

Again, with the sentimentality... but buying records back in the day was like being a tourist - you were taking a ride on someone else's reality. Every point in the globe, every scene within a point, had its own sound and this was a big part of the attraction that techno music originally held. In essence, I wish to continue being part of the movement that (re)focuses on sounding like Adelaide, for us to then communicate outwardly with. 

I love what we had, but I love where we might go next, even more. 

I hope that you enjoy listening to this selection as much as I did laying it down. N.B. keep an ear out for the new (and some unreleased) music within from DMZ and Antony Coppens, on Juice Records.

Yax Invites #057 - Ben Alibi

Originally released on Axis records! 

This story takes place around the year 3216, in which space travel is something completely contemporary. Humanity is going too far in pushing Mother Nature's boundaries, and now the planet is in danger. Only one person is capable of saving Earth from destruction. Our protagonist travels to other planets to see if there is anything that can aid him in calling the downfall of our home world to a halt. The fragments on this disc are actually snapshots, made in between traveling, amid the rushing realization that a resolution to save the planet must be found. Quickly. DJ Surgeles has a longstanding professional relationship with Detroit legend Jeff Mills. Connected through music, DJ Surgeles learned the insides and tricks of Jeff. Many conversations and meetings over the years led to this new concept, The Escape Velocity. DJ Surgeles has also collaborated exclusively with Jeff Mills on the concepts Something in The Sky and STRMRKD, and produced a special Axis Records 10 year anniversary release, The Bells: DJ Mix back in 2007. I wanna thank Jeff Mills for making this album happen.

Reclaim Your City 214 | Unbalance (Moscow)

Techno music always was a substance, made of contrasts - it was born in Motor City, befriended man and machine, combined live emotions and technical precision. These features should be the best to describe music from young Russian producer Aleks Unbalance. In his performances Unbalance endeavors to combine a whole techno ages, gives his due to classic techno, gets inspiration in futuristic sound and mixing it with a modern techno wave, which is what he is. His style of performing is so close to his own works and it creates unique atmosphere on a dance floor, no matter is it private party or big rave in Berlin Berghain.

D’Marc Cantu (Nation, MOS, Crème / US)

D'Marc Cantu or DMC as he is sometimes known, started working on Acid house in 2000 after meeting fellow artist James T. Cotton (JTC). By melding his love of Acid house, experimental noise and his background in percussion he quickly started creating what would later be coined as "Jakbeat". 

In 2005 Cantu and JTC formed 2Am/Fm releasing 3 floor banging albums and several songs on Ghostly International’s sister label Spectral. In 2006 he teamed up with Traxx & JTC to create X2, releasing Primitive Cypher on Relief Records from Chicago. 

Since 2006 he has worked on MOS and Crème Organization making numerous Detroit and Chicago inspired tracks.

D'Marc Cantu - live @ Moog (2012_01_18)

Antigone is a key player on the Parisian scene who has helped to bring techno back into focus. He did it with his residency at Concrete, but also his releases on labels like Token, Dement3d and Soma. Whether raw and rugged, melancholic and melodic or more tracery and big room in style, he has an always interesting and complex style that stands him out from the pack. 

In the DJ booth he is focussed on detail and texture and shows that here: after a subtle atmospheric start that sinks you into deep, cavernous rhythms, the ride grows much more ragged. Jittering electro, astral techno and supple breakbeats all get carefully threaded together into a tight but adventurous hour that exudes a real sense of style.
