RA.181 Simon Caldwell


 RA.181 Simon Caldwell

One of Sydney's finest steps up with a mix of techno, soul, funk and house.

Simon Caldwell is what you'd call a DJ's DJ. A fixture in the Australian party circuit for nearly two decades, Caldwell can play sets in nearly any genre that you'd care to name—or all of them at once, if the party requires it. As part of Sydney's Mad Racket crew—a group that has brought the likes of Moodymann, Andrew Weatherall, John Tejada, Jamie Lidell and more to the city—he has to constantly be ready to read and react to what the crowd wants and needs.

Caldwell learned the value of diversity early on in his career, taking on a radio show in Sydney in 1991 that specialized in house, jazz, funk, soul and hip-hop which soon led to a residency at a night called All Funked Up at the Bentley Bar. Caldwell soon held residencies on six of seven weeknights at the venue, working in a variety of genres to ensure that the Bentley's sound was never stale. He's done the same at some of Sydney's biggest venues, Home and Chinese Laundry, as well. And on his RA podcast, Caldwell does the same as always, showcasing the many sides of his musical personality, moving effortlessly through dubby house, tech house, funk, acid, ambient, soul and disco. It's a nearly ninety minute mix, and Caldwell takes advantage of every minute of it, proving that he can handle almost any DJing situation you throw him into.

Monopole - Net Control
Label: rec72
Cat#: rec72[027]
Format: MP3 320 kbps, Album
Rlease Date: Nov 2009
Genre: Electronic
Style: Glitch, IDM, Ambient

Net control is the latest concept album by artist Monopole (a.k.a. Richard Sudney). The whole idea of this album was taken from the natural occurrence of electromagnetic wave propagating through the ether. Like the waves being generated on the waters surface from a stone being thrown into it; this album takes these wave disturbances and mimics it over 6 tracks.

The material used in this album are hand crafted by Richard Sudney. Field recordings that were used, contained various samples of shortwave broadcasts of data transmissions , others are from vintage reel to reel tape recordings from the 1950’s of radio transmissions. A home made audio possessor was used along with a $30 key board synthesizer, and hundreds of pain stakingly put to gather micro samples. All of which made “Net control” a crafty album.

Vitalic - Poison Lips (Captain Flash Remix)


Much has been said about Vitalic doing the mutant electro thing before seemingly every Western European teenager had Ableton spewing chunks, but honestly, his songs are so engrossing that context just seems futile. New LP Flashmob has a great single in the sleaze-disco of "Poison Lips," which has been rubbed into this narcotic synth odyssey by Belgium's Captain Flash. Lots of endorphin showers to be had here.

Catalog#: Auba001
Format: CD, EP, File, MP3
Country: Finland
Released: 02 Oct 2009
Genre: Electronic
Style: Dub, IDM, Breaks
Credits: Artwork By - Pedro Julien
Composed By - Jolea* (tracks: 1 to 5)
Mastered By - Teemu Kinnunen (tracks: 1 to 5)

Photography - Mika Majakorpi
Producer - Jolea* (tracks: 1 to 5)
Written By - Joanna Similä (tracks: 1 to 5)

Ghostly Figures is a lightly conceptual minialbum. Portrayed as a  panorama of feelings, those ghosts of the past are creating the layers of music that almost become tangible.
The Album begins with a bittersweet taste of dub-based longing, and it goes through a cold, melancholic idm-flavoured phase with broken textures and misty soundscapes that are on the verge of  breaking into darker areas of hurt, anger and frustration in the depths of dubstep.
The album is available as a free 192kbps mp3- download but if you want hifi, you also have the chance support the artist by purchasing the Starving Artist Limited Edition CD at the Audiobaum webshop. Cd is also available at Stupido Record Store, Helsinki (more to be added).

Wyn Evans of the UK brings us this mysterious and concise self-titled EP. Taking a minimalist approach Aeron builds an ambient atmosphere of layered synths that kindle a peaceful energy. Punctuated by punchy kicks the EP resonates with poetic tones that thread myths through its sonic verses.
Wyn says they are inspired from the natural beauty of the Aeron valley which he quotes the poet Dylan Thomas describing as 'the most precious place in the world'. The songs seek to capture serenity, changing seasons, and the passing of time. Beneath the surface there is reflection, hopes and fears, but its the beauty which prevails.

    Electronica Podcast — Episode 6: Anton Zap



    Electronica Podcast — Episode 6: Anton Zap

    Антон Зап, вне всяких сомнений, относится к той категории артистов, что сделали себе имя только благодаря музыке, а не посредством назойливой рекламы и самопиара.
    Сегодня Антон олицетворяет понятие «русский хаус» (еще пару лет назад казавшееся абсурдным) для тысяч слушателей во всем мире, а начиналась его творческая карьера в суровых докризисных девяностых. Фанатичная преданность винилу и страстное увлечение фанком, соулом и урбанистичным чикагским звучанием привели Запа в легендарную московскую «Пропаганду», где он задержался, без малого, на восемь лет.
    Параллельно с диджейской карьерой Антон успешно проявлял свои саунд-продюсерские навыки, сотрудничая с известными группами Tetris и The Gamblers. Позже, Антон организует свою собственную группу Papaztrio, вместе с Павлом Хотиным и Юрием Шульгиным. В 2007 его первые «сольные» треки появились на семплерах лейблов Deep Explorer (Испания) и Underground Quality (США) и тут же получили массу восторженных отзывов от авторитетных изданий и ведущих диск-жокеев.
    Поистине триумфальным для Антона стал 2008-й: сразу три виниловых пластинки и блестящая работа “Captain Storm”, открывающая компиляцию Стива Бага «Bugnology 3» на культовом Poker Flat. В октябре 2009 трек «Spain» попадает в компиляцию Cassy «In The Mix — Simply Devotion» на легендарном Cocoon Recordings. Следующие релизы на всеми любимом лейбле Millions of Moments (Япония), Kontra Musik (Швеция) и захватывающий ремикс на Benjamin Brunn & workshop’s wunderkind, Even Tuell на Uzuri Recordings (Великобритания).
    На сегодняшний день Антон Зап является одним из самых известных и востребованных отечественных андеграундных музыкантов. Успехи на музыкальном фронте сделали свое дело — регулярные выступления в лучших клубах Москвы, гастроли по России и «ближнему зарубежью», а также повышенный интерес со стороны европейских промоутеров, что привело к выступлению в знаменитом Panorama Bar, 17 января этого.
    ENG VER.
    Anton Zap was born in Moscow in 1979. He studied Chinese for 7 years and then embarked on a 2 year sound engineering course. He started collecting wax from a very young age and in the mid 90’s he joined Moscow’s underground lounge group, Tetris, led by Vlad Lozinsky. He was resident dj at one of Moscow’s leading clubs, Propaganda from 1997—2005 . He later started his own band, Papaztrio alongside Pavel Hotin and Yuriy Shulgin . He hooked up with Edward Mckeithen aka Dj Jus Ed via myspace and that led to releases on Underground Quality which brought him to the attention of the record buyers, press and record shops alike. This in turn led to releases on Dubby man’s Deep Explorer imprint as well as noted releases on Quintessentials. More releases are planned on the much loved Millions of Moments label as well as on danish imprint, Kontra Musik and a storming remix for an upcoming benjamin Brunn & workshop’s wunderkind, Even Tuell on Uzuri Recordings. He made his dj debut outside of Russia @ Berlin’s revered dance institution, Panorama bar on the 17th January 2009.

    RA.180 Dor



    RA.180 Dor

    Laid's label manager works the wax on this week's RA podcast.

    At a time when the phrase "digital exclusive" seems to be an all too common occurrence amongst house and techno imprints, Hamburg's Dial imprint have decided to go against the grain, spawning a new sub-label focusing strictly on vinyl-only releases. The man behind the venture is Berlin-based Israeli, Dor Levi, who first came into contact with the Dial crew while he was living and throwing club nights in Tel Aviv a couple of years ago. Named as such due to their low cover charge, his Cheap Friday parties brought Dial mainstays like Efdemin, Carsten Jost, Lawrence and Pantha Du Prince to his home city, with Dor always expressing a desire to have them stay for a few days rather than flying straight in and out.

    It was during these extended stays that their friendship blossomed, and when Dor expressed his desire to take his DJing further, the collective were happy to oblige, offering their help and support if Dor made the move to Berlin. It goes without saying that he jumped at the chance, becoming part of the extended Dial family and regularly getting invited to join them behind the decks at their Panorama Bar residency. Their working relationship was taken one step further with the launch of the Laid imprint this year, which has so far featured deep house rollers from Rick Wade, RNDM and John Roberts, offering a fresh take on the American house sound of yore. This week's RA podcast is only Dor's second recorded mix (his first won him a DJing spot for Tel Aviv's Pacotek club night), and sees him showcase his influences from both sides of the Atlantic. We caught up with Dor via e-mail to ask him about the mix, his home country and Laid's vinyl-only stance.

    LWE Podcast 36: Kirk Degiorgio



    LWE Podcast 36: Kirk Degiorgio

    Kirk Degiorgio’s name is not synonymous with minimal techno. Over the course of his 18-year career you could count on your hands the number of releases that would even qualify as club-approved tackle. Degiorgio made his name with multi-hued Detroit-inspired techno and went on to produce soulful music in a variety of genres, but rarely touched on straightforward dance floor-ready tracks. Today we see Degiorgio taking a new path that embraces this side of techno, both in terms of production and DJing. Degiorgio rebooted his Applied Rhythm Technology (ART) label this year and is focused on creating full sounding techno that works in club environs. That approach is paying dividends with the recent “Isomer Shift” release on B12, his new “Swarm” EP, the first release for ART’s new Dance Division series and one forthcoming on Planet E. He has applied this same concept to DJing, choosing to play the same type of material he is championing through his own productions. For LWE’s 36th podcast, Degiorgio shares an exclusive mix of what he’s currently spinning and sits down to explain the finer points of running a label, his relationship to DJ technology, and to set the record straight on techno’s debt to jazz.

    Podcast 106 : The Black Dog

    Certaines légendes ne semblent jamais attirer l'attention de l'histoire. Par exemple, vous souvenez vous de l'inventeur du tournevis? Du toaster? Non, et dans la mesure où tout ça est hors propos, c'est assez logique. À la fin des 80's le trio Black Dog fit office de sage-femme, au côté d'Aphex Twin et Autechre en mettant au monde l'IDM. Laissant le soin à d'autres de faire grandir la dance music non-écervelée, deux des chiens noirs créeront Plaid (et la bande son de fin de rave, par la même occasion, parachute des descentes sous acides) abandonnant Ken Downie, seul au sein du groupe. Nous sommes en 2009 et Black Dog a (re)construit sa propre niche: un Detroit vs Sheffield, ou la confrontation d'une techno raveuse à l'ambient fleurissant depuis 20ans dans les productions d'un petit label de Sheffield nommé Warp.

    Taren McCallan-Moore, a.k.a. MagicVan lives in Hackney, East London, where he practices from his home studio; “I approach my music in pretty much the same way that I approach my visual art…” He says. “…I’ll start with anything, something that I’ve been experimenting with, a dirge, a note, a melody, a sound and it all leads from there. There’s always something to shake off and I work best when stupefied by some painful muse, otherwise I’m really quite an inadequate musician I think. And I know, people have told me, that I can be frustrating to listen to. One friend thinks that my production is painfully unfair; proffering a hand of sweets only to pull away as the gift has been accepted. I’m just afraid of being pigeonholed even to the point of shooting myself in the foot because I’m terrified of my own mediocrity.” The art of Taren McCallan-Moore art can be found at: tarenvegas.blogspot.com

    By now, you have probably heard of Randomform, from one of his many releases under different pseudonyms. The super-prolific musician, doesn't just impress you in quantaty, but in quality as well. Tying in with CL's previous release, "Redapt" is a moodier piece of work, that reminds us of the good old IDM days, where the complex and mechanical beats were constantly fighting with beautiful melodies. This is the next step forward: the increasingly complex and contracted programmed beats, are fighting this time with drones from outer-space, with a modern approach and classic Randomform's signature that shouldn't disappoint you. In a way, these two releases that Randomform chose for CL, complement each other on a journey of what best IDM can offer us. [F.G.]

    Tracklist:
    1 Ceetecr 2:41
    2 Dyflow 4:13

    Released: 14 Nov 2009

    Notes: creative commons: by-nc-nd

    PJE's Thought Process comes to CL as a drastic sound change from the previous releases. Almost it's polar opposite. A release that smells like Autumn and winks at Winter. Just think of a cold sunny day, spent in the beach and let the music flow. Smoothing synths accompanied by acustic instrumentation are scattered throughout the album and with the carefully placed textures, you found the heart and soul of Thought Process. It's simplicity is incredibly striking, proving that even from the most basic ideas, you can pull out surprises and sonic variation. [F.G.]

    1 Faded 2:14

    Bakers At Dawn is Marcus Sjöland, who lives in Malmö, Sweden, where he works in a record store and spends most of his remaining waking hours obsessing about or playing music.   He lists among his influences The Freed Weed collection by Sebadoh, Graham Coxon, Leonard Cohen, The Melvins and Neutral Milk Hotel.  However there's always another part of him that would like to play super brainy prog built on complicated math equations, and then process all the sounds with various spacey effects and vocoders.

    He's released numerous cd-r's and has put out a number of internet releases as well, including last year's 'As Is', which is also freely downloadable.  Also he plays in a band called The Argument, check 'em out!

    just add: some melodies from nice to strange, some beats from break to straight and some ambiences, ranging from warm to chilly. from these ingredients tell some stories, of course about the "knights from the diving school"... quite a simple recipy.

    but you must be the right artist to do this, just like firnwald. on this guest release on tonAtom he takes us on an unbelievable course through the last 15 years of electronic music in 19 tracks one must have heard.

    and if you listen to him he guides us through his underwater world as seen through the porthole of a rusty, oil-stained submarine, through the glistening transparent-hull viewing section of a futuristic underwater glider and sometimes through the slightly fogged glass of his diving mask.

    There will come a time in your life when you will ask yourself a series of questions. Am I happy with who I am? Am I happy with the people around me? Am I happy with what I'm doing? Am I happy with the way my life is going? Do I have a life or am I just living? Do not let these questions strain or trouble you just point youself in the direction of your dreams find your strength in the sound and make your transition. Do not spend to much time thinking and not enough doing. Did I try the hardest at any of my dreams? Did I purposly let others discourage me when I knew I could? Will I die never knowing what I could have been or could of done? Do not let these doubts restrain of trouble you just point yourself in the direction of your dreams. Find your strength in the sound and make your transition. There will be people who say you can't - you will. There will be people who say you dont mix this with that and you will say "watch me". There will be people who will say play it safe, thats to risky - you will take that chance and have no fear. You wont let these questions restrain or trouble you. You will point yourself in the direction of your dreams. You will find the strength in the sound and make your transition. For those who know its time to leave the house and go back to the field. Find your strength in the sound and make your transition.
