One of the first Canadian producers to set up shop in Berlin’s electronic epicentre, Kitchener-raised Mike Shannon has been a funky force to be reckoned with, both at home and abroad for over 15 years. His DJ career took off along the Detroit-Toronto axis, where he devised a signature that straddles quivering techno, hypnotic jazz and buttery deep house – a sweeping musical vision that remains integral to his sound. Shannon quickly added the qualifiers 'producer' and 'label owner' to his resumé upon moving to Montréal in the late nineties; he contributed to the homegrown minimal techno explosion by launching record label Cynosure and the more experimental Revolve Recordings (the latter with Jeff Milligan). As head A&R for the esteemed Cynosure, he’s helped boost the profile of like-minded artists such as Deadbeat, Akufen and Ernesto Ferreyra. He has released three albums to date on some of techno’s most notable imprints (Plus 8, Force Inc, ~scape), while continuing to blur tonal lines with his sultry, downtempo jazz trio Blue Fields (with Takeshi Nishimoto and Fadila) and an upcoming live act with German house pal DeWalta. After celebrating Cynosure’s 10th anniversary at MUTEK five years ago, Shannon returns with a new live set, to do what he does best: transcend techno clichés.

Wareika_

For this podcast we have the pleasure of presenting to you guys an extraordinary 3 hour Live session recorded in one the most important venues of our lovely scene, the one and only Club Der Visionaere, the recording was performed on July the 2nd of this Year by our good friends and great artists Wareika.

Formed in 2007 by Jakob Seidensticker, Florian Schirmacher and Henri Raabe, Wareika was accidentally gathered on stage for the first time at Hamburg's mythical Mojo Club. Since then, the german trio has built a very singular sound signature after a decade of playing together. Revealing the diverse influences and musical educations from all three individuals, the band's discography has been built over a solid live experience. Being academically trained in Jazz and Classical but also self taught through electronic music, Jakob, Florian and Henrik are able to sing, play guitars, drum machines, pianos, synthesizers, bass, percussions and way more. 

Concocting their stylistic blend with meditative Jazz, hypnotic Dub, meticulous Techno and subtle House, it leaves no surprise as you think about the high level of versatility of Wareika's musical spirit. Calling from King Tubby, Sun Ra or afrobeat master Fela Kuti, they develop a dazzling kaleidoscope of melodies and polyrhythmic patterns over four to the floor beats that is entirely unique in the electronic musie scene. 

The trio holds the mastery of enhancing a crowd with a multitude of tools and elements.The shape of their sound, bolded with low ends, is fusing Techno and Jazz into an electric jam outlined by magical madness and improvisation. When back in studios, Wareika has a sturdy work ethic that has brought them to release on many respected labels, as diverse as Perlon, Visionquest, Tartlet, Eskimo. Circus Company, Future Classic among many others...

Wareika are  natural born performers.
Get into this great piece of pure jam and improvisation that will guide you through lots of different shades of house and techno, intricate patterns and a whole lot of soul.

We are pleased to share with you this new episode!
Just sit back, let yourself go and enjoy!

About the mix:

I wanted to create something fun and energetic for my Yoon family. In general I try to program my sets in a journey kind of format, starting off spacey and minimal and then kicking the grooves into more bouncy and thumping beats and bigger sounds, and then eventually tapering off into deeper energetic territories after the peak hour kind of music. I kept the bpms low because I dont like making fast sets for podcasts, however I dont think the listener will notice because of the energy that is in the music. Def lots of hands in the air/ face melter moments, and beautiful ones as well. Enjoy.

Bio:
DJ, producer, poet and visual artist — Christopher Mohn cannot be limited to a single medium. Cut off any branch of his creative vision and the rest grow twice as strong.



In a past life, Christopher toured across the globe as one half of the DJ duo Dance Spirit. Then, as the world paused, he pressed the reset button on his own career. Now a published poet with a namesake solo music project gaining momentum, his resilience shows loudly and clearly in his second act, while also contributing visual identities for artists and brands such as Visionquest, Kazbah, Doc Martin, Pezzner, Mustafa Ismaeel, Shaun Reeves, Purple Print Music, Yoon Festival, Listed, and a host of others.



Christopher Mohn’s dedication to art has yielded a body of work that transcends any individual practice. He raves, and this is what it sounds like. He hurts, and this is what it reads like. He loves, and this is what it looks like. He’s nurtured a career that’s touched people throughout the world with little more than authenticity and determination.



He sees what he does in much simpler terms: Art happens when his expression meets your brain. In this sense, the direction of Christopher Mohn’s career is limited only by his wild imagination.

YF 24’ EP. 2 - CHRISTOPHER MOHN

For our next 60 minute, it's none other than the toon lass herself... Holly Why! "Why-aye's" aside and all that - we first crossed paths with her at Gottwood earlier this Summer. Many an interchange was had about similar tastes in records and a true understanding for the art of creating journeys in sets when you're playing one record after another.

And it's clear that wasn't just all fezzie talk... this hour long excursion takes you through the dulcet tones of well pieced together minimal numbers, before smoothly taking you into something all together completely & beautifully different. And as we've said before - to be able to do something like this so smoothly is no small feat. This is pure class.

Giuliano Lomonte hails from Andria in the south of Italy, though a healthy passion for music has long coaxed him out its gorgeous Mediterranean climes. The mix described in his own words: "Well I wanted to give you guys something very special. It’s a part of my last set recorded live from Robert Johnson which I think shows exactly what people can expect of me as a DJ for any club set I play from opening, to main and also to after-hours. And considering how special this club is to me and my whole story, I hope you will all enjoy listening to it as much as I loved playing it". Giuliano Lomonte
