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.

La settimana inizia con Yamila, resident del collettivo Closer, globetrotter nel visitare, assaporare e far proprie le più disparate realtà dell scena. 
Il suo pattern musicale ha radici in terre sonore tanto disparate quanto complementari nella loro visione d'insieme. Questo suo versatilismo, affiancato ad eseprienze più personali come dieci anni di canto corale, emergono tangibilmente nell'eterogeneità con cui caratterizzza i propri set. Dai ritmi tribali del Sud America, sua terra d'origine, all'affezionato basso cui non manca mai una sfumatura in continua evoluzione, spaziando dall'acid all'electro.
Questo è il set che Yamila ci ha regalato come breve ma intenso assaggio di ciò che ci aspetta il sabato pomeriggio al Komorebi Music Festival.

Buon ascolto.

The week begins with Yamila, resident of the Closer collective, a globetrotter in visiting, tasting, and embracing the most disparate realities of the scene.
Her musical pattern has roots in sound lands that are as disparate as they are complementary in their overall vision. This versatility of his, alongside experiences such as ten years of singing in a choir, tangibly emerge in the heterogeneity with which she characterizes her sets. 
From the tribal rhythms of South America, his homeland, to the affectionate bass that never misses a constantly evolving nuance, ranging from acid to electro.
This is the set that Yamila gave us as a short but intense taste of what awaits us on Saturday afternoon at the Komorebi Music Festival.

Happy listening.

Sedvs joins for DifferentSound Podcast #202.

Hailing from Vienna, Sedvs constantly deepens his excursions and elaborates his sound with every release. Undeniably influenced by the mangled sound of the UK, the founding member of Bare Hands Records takes cues from the motor city’s funk, leading to his very own sonic interpretation, reflected in themes of manic repetition, complex rhythms, driving percussion and meticulous sequencing in his own tracks as well as his high-octane DJ Sets. Apart from his regular contribution to the viennese music and clubbing scene, Sedvs has been acclaimed on the international stage with his music. With ”Paradise Lost” he lately released his first LP on Bare Hands.

My next guest on Yax Invites is Enerobics, a DJ and avid vinyl collector hailing from the dance music scene in Boorloo (Perth), Australia.

Collecting and playing records is an undeniable obsession of his, in which he takes a particular interest in 90's and early 00's dance music and seamlessly blending those older club sounds with recent releases, which is evident in this vinyl only mix.

His ability to combine old / new sounds yields high energy dance floors and delivers an experience that is not often captivated in the modern club scene.

Tamara Radosevic is one of the minds behind Eora's Hypno. The self described Groove Specialist collective has built their identity on nothing more than the music. No lineups, no set times, just a location and the reassurance that you're in for a solid night of stripped back groove and hypnotic techno. It's a breath of fresh air to see such a following amassed off a unique neo traditional approach to running events. Tamara herself has supported international acts Stranger, Kaiser and Adriana Lopez at venues across the city such as Abercrombie, Tokyo Sing Song and many of the notorious Eora warehouse parties. With a dynamic approach to mixing, she is able to mould her selections to suit opening, peak and closing situations, all while layering her signature grit throughout the mix. We believe that the words of her collective Hypno describe this mix best. Raw hypnotic rhythms, uncompromising gritty techno, and a hint of groove. Enjoy
