Yax Invites Series

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

Next up is the Argentine Dj and producer Volpe creating a whirlwind of dubby, hypnotic atmospheres with an underbelly of upbeat groove. Big nod to the 90s on this one. 

His productions have had support from artists such as Yant, Vil, the Zenker Brothers and Jeroen Search he’s definitely a producer to keep your eye on.

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!"

https://soundcloud.com/codecrecs owner and https://soundcloud.com/espcollective co-founder Decoder makes his mark on Yax Invites with a 2 hour mix full of stripped back rhythms layered with sci-fi soundscapes that encapsulate his loopy and minimal style of techno. 

The Dallas, Texas based producer who also goes under the alias of Cratan, has released a plethora of tracks throughout 2021 on various top quality labels around the globe, and it is a pleasure to have him on the series for Episode 5.

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.

Happy 2022 all - we are back with a fresh techno mix from Victor Villarroya aka PUSHMANN. https://soundcloud.com/pushmann

I first came across Pushmann when I was buying records and started to notice his stellar productions. Proper underground hypnotic groovy techno. He has had releases on some quality labels, most notably in 2021 on Jeff Mills' Axis and Kaiser's KSR. 

He has an album coming out in May 2022 on Matterwave Records that includes remixes from Ben Sims, Alexander Kowalski, Head Front Panel and Jeroen Search. Can't wait.

I am all about quality mixes above all else when it comes to choosing my guests and Pushmann has really delivered here. It's not often that a mix really blows me away, but when I came across "Pushmann @ Tresor (Berlin) 22_02_2020 (Closing Set)" (available on Pushmann's Soundcloud page) well that mix blew the socks right off my dainty little feet!! Go check.

Let the music do the rest of the talkin'..... Enjoy 😎

ASW Mix Series #033

Today we welcome another friend of the series for a podcast debut! Koot (full name Sander Koot) is a DJ from our hometown of Utrecht. Not for long though, as he will be moving to Rotterdam next week.

He has been in love with clubbing and techno for a very long time, but he is relatively new to DJ'ing himself. As clubs were closed during the pandemic, he decided to express his love for techno by picking up a mixer and some turntables in december 2020. Teaching himself how to beatmatch as a vinyl-only DJ took many, many hours but he enjoyed every minute of it! 

Koot recently upgraded his setup to include two digital players, which he uses alongside his beloved vinyl collection. After upgrading to a multi-deck setup, he started practicing with three decks at once to try and reproduce the heavy, layered techno experience that he loves to hear in the club. As you may be able to tell by the tracks used in this mix, Koot takes inspiration from DJ's/Producers such as Nørbak, Lewis Fautzi, Reeko, Tensal/Kessell (Exium) and off course Oscar Mulero (the cat chilling in the background of his picture is called Mulero actually). 

Appreciate this fine mixing on 3 decks flawlessly mixing vinyl and digital tracks into a dark, deep yet energising mix!

We are ecstatic to introduce to you our new series FUSE, in which we will bring you mixes and live sets recorded exclusively for Natural Selection, from a selection of our residents, past guests and other closely affiliated artists and friends. Each mix or set will be accompanied with a profile on the artist responsible, highlighting their career, upcoming projects, etc. We feel in the current climate it is crucial to unify and fuse together our artists and supporters and we are so happy to be able to continue to provide a platform for music, whilst we are forced into this lockdown situation. Thank you to everyone involved for bringing this together and making it possible.

Kicking off the series is none other than Jeroen Search (Figure, Dynamic Reflection), one of our favourite all-time artists and who we had the absolute pleasure of playing for us back in 2018. The Dutchman is one of Techno’s most influential producers, but is also a well-kept public secret. Putting out consistently high quality music since the mid nineties, he is always right at the sharp end of the Techno spectrum. Keeping him there are the slick beats he releases on his own genre-defining label Search, as well as those on Figure, Dynamic Reflection and many others. Given his always refreshing output, he has seen no need to completely reinvent himself and instead keeps on putting out his always timeless Techno, spellbinding audiences with his expertly crafted DJ sets and truly inspirational live sets, and claiming his space at the table of the absolute cutting edge of Techno. This exclusive DJ set for Natural Selection is entirely made up of material from himself and his long-standing label 'Search' and we feel honoured to have him involved in the series and bring you this unheard masterpiece.
