Leafar Legov – Resident Advisor podcast #514 2016-04-04

“Soothing rhythms from a Giegling mainstay.
Leafar Legov is a quiet but essential member of the Giegling family. He and Konstantin were making music together in Hannover before the label formed—today, they are Kettenkarussell, a live act and production outfit whose bittersweet sound embodies Giegling’s ineffable ethos. Perhaps even more than his label-mates, Legov’s relationship with club music seems purely conditional—he’ll follow its guidelines only when they happen to suit his creative impulses. With Kettenkarussell, he makes what could loosely be described as downtempo house. On his solo records, he offsets ambient sketches with somber hip-hop instrumentals. But his personal musical universe is still, for the most part, a mystery—aside from “Blush,” an excellent one-off from 2009 he made as Robert Oh, his first solo release was Giegling’s latest EP, Talk, which came out in February. Abstract and subdued, it’s a record that points to Giegling’s emotional depth and stylistic open-endedness.
Legov’s RA Podcast is more committed to a 4/4 pulse, but it’s still extraordinarily serene, ghosting through a sequence of vague and lovely cinematic images. Composed entirely of unreleased productions, it’s a titillating glimpse of what Legov’s got up his sleeve.”

Markus Suckut – Resident Advisor podcast #513 2016-03-28

“Wonderfully functional techno.
“I am not trying to reach perfection,” Markus Suckut says below. As a listener, you might think otherwise. Over the past five years, Suckut has become a master of powerful, precision-tooled club tracks. The German techno producer makes the sort of music that elicits almost existential questions—”How am I so excited by a kick drum and some hi-hats?” His best tracks come from the Robert Hood school of minimalism, where groove is king and arrangements progress through something as small as a cymbal line. Take his track “Hunt” from 2012. Basically, it’s just a monumental kick drum, a Basic Channel-style synth and some hats, yet it’s a potentially earth-shattering piece of music. Suckut has been exploring these sorts of moods on respected labels like Stroboscopic Aretfacts, Frozen Border, Horizontal Ground, Figure, Repitch and Mosaic, and he has a couple imprints of his own: Exile, which he runs with Johannes Heil, and SCKT, which he revived this month. On Heat On Feet, a recent release for Rekids, Suckut showed that his hand can be effectively turned to broken beats and lighter moods. But, as Will Lynch concluded in his review of the record, Suckut’s appeal is less about diversity and more about doing one thing extremely well.
On Suckut’s RA podcast he shows how this sound is best deployed in the mix, making subtle gestures with intense techno.”

Hops – Resident Advisor podcast #512 2016-03-21

Modern bass sounds from a Hard Wax staff member.
Hops is flexible behind the decks—he’s as comfortable playing a Sex Tags Mania party as he is a Swamp 81 night. Still, he has more clarity of vision than most selectors out there, pushing a sound that’s sparse, swinging and fresh, melding only the most timeless elements of grime, dubstep, dub and techno. With 19 powerful and sub-heavy club cuts, many of them unreleased dubplates, RA 512 is a closely considered showcase of this sound, presenting one man’s take on the vanguard of bass music.”

Soichi Terada – Resident Advisor podcast #511 2016-03-14

“Sounds from the far east.
Terada’s RA podcast makes for a great companion to Sounds From The Far East, in that it exclusively features Japanese house music. Shinichiro Yokota—whose track “Do It Again,” a bona fide classic, was included on the compilation—is well represented here along with artists like Sloper and SEKITOVA. There’s an alluring outsider quality to these tracks, as though the classic deep house template had been subtly but noticeably refracted.”

Sunil Sharpe – Resident Advisor podcast #503 2016-02-08

“Ireland’s preeminent techno DJ steps up.
If you’re interested in dance music in Ireland, whether it’s house, techno, trance or something else, there’s a very good chance you’re aware of Sunil Sharpe, and it’s likely you’re a fan of what he does. There are probably two key reasons behind Sharpe’s transcendent status. The first is that he’s an exceptional techno DJ. He’s a DJ who is a joy to watch—his technical skills are exemplarily, ripping records off the turntables and cutting between tracks in a blur of motion, while his selections are as intense as they are varied. Dublin crowds have formed deep bonds with DJs like Dave Clarke, Surgeon and Blawan over the years, and when they come to town Sharpe has long felt like the natural choice to play alongside them.”

Andy Hart – Resident Advisor podcast #503 2016-01-18

“One of Australia’s best selectors brings the party.
Hart moved to Berlin 18 months ago, following a migration trend that’s seen a number of his peers setting up in the German capital, as well as London. Aside from working on Voyage and dropping solo EPs on Heist and Sleazy Beats Black Ops, he’s spent time among the OYE Records family, particularly with frequent studio collaborator Max Graef. The likeminded pair have been releasing music together since 2012 on Melbourne Deepcast and Box Aus Holz, complementing one another’s love of jazz-infused dance music. Those influences and more are laid out in Hart’s inviting two-hour RA podcast, which spans smooth soul and funk, bright disco and classic ’90s house.

Porn Sword Tobacco – Resident Advisor podcast #501 2016-01-04

“The Swedish artist delivers a “pulsating bouquet of vibrations.”
On RA.501, we dive into the sun-dappled side of Jonsson’s sound. Mixing up old reggae, recent house, African jazz and the odd spoken word bit, all smudged together with filters and delay, the podcast delivers what its name promises. From Nairobi to Gothenburg, 1975 to 2015, RA.501 is a safari through time and space, with a lavalamp-wielding Jonsson as its guide.”

Omar-S – Resident Advisor podcast #500 2015-12-28

“Tune in for three hours of FXHE radio.
Very few house and techno artists have achieved the quality and consistency of Alex O. Smith, AKA Omar-S. He’s been releasing a steady flow of 12-inches out of Detroit for over a decade, and the results are rarely anything less than excellent. Smith takes his artistic independence very seriously. Nearly all of his music comes out through his own FXHE label, and he’s known as a straight-talking guy who does things on exactly his own terms. He’s been on our podcast hit list for as long as any of us can remember.
Being the enigmatic character that he is, Smith didn’t fancy the interview portion of the RA podcast, but he did tell us this just before he mixed it:
– The podcast was recorded at his home in Detroit.
– He went on road trips in his Nissan GTR, ranging from Vermont to California, just to buy records for RA.500.
– There are a few of his own tracks in the mix.
– It’s the first “FXHE radio show.”
– He has a new record, Sidetrakx Volume #4, that’s just come out, and he’s working on a new ten-track album for early next year, featuring Tom Bugs, Amp Fidler, John F.M., Diviniti and many more.
– He’s started a quarterly residency at Grasshopper in Detroit. The next party is February 6th.”

Dixon – Resident Advisor podcast #500 2015-12-28

“RA’s #1 DJ steps away from the dance floor.
Dixon delivered his first RA podcast on March 12th, 2007. “If you don’t know the name now, you’ll know it soon enough,” we said. Listening back, the mix feels like blueprint for the singular style he and Âme went on to develop through their label, Innervisions. RA.048 featured songs not tracks, and it had the sense of drama and melody that became Innervisions’ trademark. These days, Dixon is RA’s #1 DJ, and has been for the last three years.
“I recorded the mix on the first weekend of December, while I was on a tour in South America. For me, clubs and the internet are two different worlds. What I do is called ‘club music’ for a reason. That’s why I decided against a club mix for RA. Rather, I wanted to use this opportunity to present artists or music that deserve more focus than they might have. Not the big tracks from my sets but the more interesting and influential ones. At least, they influence me and have an impact on the sounds Innervisions has signed for 2016.””

Ben UFO – Resident Advisor podcast #500 2015-12-28

“A leader of the scene looks to the future.
It’s not often that we’ll give a DJ a brief when they record a podcast for us, but in late 2010 we asked Ben UFO to summarise the year that was. He came back to us 48 hours later with a mix that showcased the stream of incredible music that was flowing from the UK bass scene, linking it with the best in contemporary house and techno. This preternatural ability to “connect the dots,” as we described it back then, is still very much Ben Thomson’s calling card. He’s a DJ who’s now universally recognised as one of the best we’ve ever had.
“In contrast to the first mix I recorded for Resident Advisor, in 2010, in which I was asked to attempt a summary of that year, this time around I was given a fairly open brief. The only guidance I was given was that 500 podcasts represented a milestone for the site worth celebrating, and that it might evoke a nostalgic response. As it turned out, in 2010 it felt a lot more challenging playing a set consisting entirely of contemporary records than it does for me now, at a time where my focus as a club DJ is mostly on new music. As a result, when I was thinking about how best to approach this mix it felt right to try and look forward, and focus on mostly new and unreleased music.
A lot of my favourite moments on dance floors this year came via tracks which I felt could be used to open things up and change course—those tracks which can feel like coming up for air after periods of intensity, which can disrupt any sense of linearity and make you feel as a dancer as though anything could come next. These are often the records that keep me feeling excited about the future, and as a result I guess there’s a focus on music that I enjoyed playing with this idea in mind. I recorded the mix at David Kennedy’s house on my usual setup: two turntables, an Allen & Heath mixer, Serato SL4 and some records.””

Steffi – Resident Advisor podcast #500 2015-12-28

“Exceptional house and techno from the Panorama Bar resident.
“Steffi’s original RA podcast went out on September 15th, 2008, and it felt like a riposte to the minimal sound that had been dominant around that time. “I am very moved by the fresh wind of more authentic sounding records,” she told us. “It inspires me a lot because of an overkill of digital laptop music from the past few years.” Steffi also talked about the freedom she enjoyed as a resident at Berlin’s Panorama Bar (word of this crazy club was slowing reaching people outside of Germany). She’s been a mainstay there ever since, building a profile as an internationally renowned DJ and producer.
“I recorded the mix last week at home, using decks and the Rane 2015.
This is a small selection of where my head is currently at. There is not so much to say about the mix—it’s for those who feel, more than anything.
On the menu for 2016: I did a lot of co-production work for Virginia’s forthcoming album on Ostgut alongside Martyn and Dexter. We will also tour as a band to perform those songs live on stage, which is really, really exciting. To keep it in the family, a new EP with Martyn as Doms & Deykers is coming in spring, and a full-length album later on this year. Also me and Dexter just re-launched our Klakson imprint with some of the old artists, and I found some exciting new artists on Dolly I can’t wait to feature.””

Nicolas Jaar – Resident Advisor podcast #500 2015-12-28

“A strange and lovely bricolage.
On June 14th, 2010, Nicolas Jaar, who was building a reputation as the most exciting new artist on the scene, was behind one of our most adventurous mixes to date. Although not a DJ at the time, Jaar had an uncanny knack for sequencing, moving gracefully through artists diverse as Mobb Deep, Aphex Twin and Marvin Gaye. Jaar released his debut album, Space Is Only Noise, the following year, and went on to take the top spot in our live acts poll three years in a row. On stage and on record, he remains one of the most creatively unhinged artists in electronic music.
“Mix was recorded in December 2015, in Brooklyn, New York. Picture is from those new machines at passport control at JFK.
Ask a friend to translate the Khalife track for you. Thanks for including me in this.
Happy New Year. Peace.””

2015 in review – Resident Advisor Exchange podcast RA.EX282 2015-12-22

“RA’s editorial team looks back on the year.
Just before we draw a line under 2015, there’s still the small matter of our year-in-review Critics Roundtable. In what’s now an annual tradition, some of the RA editorial team gathered in Berlin a couple weeks ago to talk in-depth about who and what was moving us this year. Loosely taking our cues from RA’s polls, which are now all available to see here, we discussed some of the best DJs, live acts, labels, online mixes, albums and RA podcasts of 2015. We managed to keep the talk under 90 minutes this year, so put on your headphones and get ready for plenty of nerdy music chat and a little bit of banter.”

DJ Paypal – Resident Advisor podcast #499 2015-12-21

“A journey to the centre of footwork.
Footwork came up in Chicago’s South Side, and it has fierce sense of local pride, but in 2015 it’s more international than ever. DJ Paypal is a Berlin-based North Carolinian artist who is among the most far-flung members of the scene-leading Teklife crew, both musically and geographically, and he’s also among the most influential of the genre’s new wave. His take on footwork is kaleidoscopic and vivid, expanding on the Spinn and Rashad template for a brand of footwork that looks backwards and forwards in equal measure.”

Ben Sims – Resident Advisor podcast #498 2015-12-14

High-octane sounds from a UK techno mainstay.
Can you tell us about the idea behind the mix?
I just wanted it to be an accurate reflection of what I’m playing these days. There’s lots of new material, plus tracks from up-and-coming artists and couple of older favourites too. It’s been a while since a DJ set of mine went public as the radio show has been my main focus, so I wanted to try and capture the feel and energy of my sets rather than the more polished feel of Run It Red. I’m pretty happy with it. Recreating a DJ set in a room on your own doesn’t always work out, but this one feels quite close.”
