Resident Advisor Exchange RA.EX042 with Chris Liebing

1 Comment / Resident Advisor podcasts, Techno /

A techno giant shares his journey. Irrepressible is probably the best word to describe Chris Liebing, whether you’re referring to his preferred brand of hard-edged techno (once called schranz, before it become a loaded term), his enthusiasm for everything and everyone (follow his Twitter, and you’ll see him talking to Boy George and Moby in addition to the usual suspects) or, of course, his grin—something Dustin Zahn once called “the thousand yard smile.” It hasn’t been easy, though. After getting his start in the electronic music world in the early ’90s in the surprisingly vital town of Giessen, Liebing nearly gave it all up after his local techno club went under. Legendary Frankfurt techno club Omen, however, eventually came calling, and he hasn’t looked back since. And with industrial-sized beats and his own CLR label undergoing a creative renaissance, things have never been better.”

Resident Advisor Exchange RA.EX040 with Adam X

Leave a Comment / Electronic music, Resident Advisor podcasts /

“Warehouses, graffiti and techno with the NYC native. Prolific industrial/EBM champion Adam X needs little introduction, but for those who missed his RA podcast and Finn Johannsen’s interview, here goes: Adam X’s legacy was sown in the early ’90s with the opening of the Sonic Groove record store and a series of Brooklyn warehouse raves he produced with this his brother, Frankie Bones. In 1995 the Sonic Groove imprint was launched as outlet for Adam X’s own productions and other artists harbouring the darker, futuristic side of electronic music, artists that through the years have included the likes of Kevin Saunderson and Dave Clarke. In 2007 Adam X relocated to Berlin and inspired by trips to the city’s famed Berghain club began releasing under the alias Traversable Wormhole—a name that has since become a watchword for twisted, atmospheric techno. In this instalment of our Live Exchange series at Mutek, Todd L. Burns talks to the New York techno veteran.”

Resident Advisor podcast #259 by Skream

Leave a Comment / Dubstep, Resident Advisor podcasts /

“Dubstep’s biggest DJ steps up. Croydon. Big Apple Records. Hatcha. Skream’s back story evokes all the right passages of dubstep folklore. Oli Jones began making music as a 15-year-old; he was an employee of the now legendary record store and one of dubstep’s first and foremost producers before his teenage years were through. Much of the music in the developmental stages of his career was recorded alongside Benga, with whom Jones now lines up—in addition to Artwork—as Magnetic Man. The group became the genre’s biggest crossover success to date at the end of last year with the release of their self-titled album, although Jones as always remained entirely difficult to pin down—NonPlus+, Swamp 81, Deep Medi Musik and Tempa are just a few of the imprints to host his zig-zagging 12-inches in the past few of years.”

Resident Advisor Exchange RA.EX032 with Matthew Herbert

Leave a Comment / Electronic music, Resident Advisor podcasts /

“The UK’s electronic raconteur talks food, pigs and Cafe De Flore. Matthew Herbert once said that he has few peers. He didn’t say it in an arrogant way, mind. He simply meant it’s hard to find electronic artists that record drum sets in hot air balloons. Or ones that attempt to record the entire life cycle of a pig. Or ones that sneak into the Houses of Parliament for the sake of their art. It’s fair to say, in fact, that there’s no one like Matthew Herbert at all. Whether it’s his jazz-tinged deep house with Dani Siciliano, his work with his big band or his more explicitly experimental work of late, Herbert’s career defies categorization. The only phrase to describe him is “relentlessly curious.” We tend to call ourselves the same at RA, so we caught up with the producer at his home near the seaside in Whitstable, about 45 minutes outside of London, to explore his work in-depth.”

Resident Advisor Exchange RA.EX029 with Blackdown

1 Comment / Electronic music, Resident Advisor podcasts /

“Words and beats with one of the preeminent chroniclers of UK bass music. Some think that writing and electronic music just don’t mix. It’s writers like Blackdown that emphatically disprove the point. As one of the most high-profile boosters of grime and dubstep in its earliest days, he helped to introduce personalities like Dizzee Rascal, Wiley and Burial to the wider world largely via his blog and the influential magazine Deuce. Nowadays Blackdown writes for bigger outlets, namely Pitchfork and NME, but his time is also now split between writing about the music he loves, and supporting it directly through his Keysound Recordings label, which has put out music from the likes of Skream, DVA and LV. That, and his own productions alongside partner-in-grime Dusk. But where did it all start electronic music-wise for Blackdown? Techno, of course. ”

Resident Advisor podcast #255 by Lucy

Leave a Comment / Electronic music, Resident Advisor podcasts /

“A dark exploration of rhythm from the Stroboscopic Artefacts boss. Lucy and his Stroboscopic Artefacts label are arguably the most important additions to the global techno scene in the past two years. You may have known the Italian producer (Luca Mortellaro) from his work for Meerestief Records and Perspectiv in the latter half of the ’00s but it was at the end of 2009, and the founding of SA, that his name truly began to ring out across the scene. The Berlin-based Lucy assembled a coterie of artists who, much like himself, were indebted to sounds from far outside the techno canon, and went about releasing around 15 separate examples of this vision during 2010 alone. The culmination of these endeavours surfaced earlier this year in the form of Lucy’s debut LP, Wordplay for Working Bees, an album RA’s Andrew Ryce described at the time as “one of the most personal, affecting and diverse techno albums since Shed’s The Traveller.””

Resident Advisor Exchange RA.EX027 with Mutek – Montreal festival

Leave a Comment / Electronic music, Resident Advisor podcasts / ,

“In more than a decade of operation, Montreal’s Mutek has firmly established itself as one of the premiere electronic music festivals in the world. That’s a happy accident as much as anything. The event’s creation coincided with the arrival of a number of major Canadian talents on the techno stage—Akufen and Deadbeat chief among them. As explained in our previous oral history of Mutek, many of those artists have since gone on to reside in Europe, but the festival remains, and is as vibrant as ever. We caught up with Mutek programmers Alain Mongeau, Vincent Lemieux and Patti Schmidt earlier this year to talk about the event’s past, present and future.”

Resident Advisor Exchange RA.EX024 with Paul Woolford

Leave a Comment / Electronic music, Resident Advisor podcasts /

“What comes to mind when you see the name Paul Woolford? It’s something the man himself often contemplates. He’s had more than his fair share of indelible associations after all. Whether it was his ties to Basics and 20:20 Vision in Leeds, his long-standing residency at We Love Sundays in Ibiza or his ubiquitous 2005 club-smash “Erotic Discourse,” for better or worse it seems preconceptions abound when it comes to Woolford.
And as RA’s Ryan Keeling sat down to talk in Berlin ahead of his gig at Berghain that evening, it was time for him to ruminate over his latest association—that of Carl Craig and his Planet E imprint. After handing Craig a demo back in 2009, Woolford is about release with the legendary Detroit imprint, and has subsequently been asked to join them on tour in celebration of the label’s 20th anniversary all over the world, including next month’s annual Snowbombing event.”

Resident Advisor Exchange RA.EX022 with Eddie C / Mike Shannon

Leave a Comment / Electronic music, Resident Advisor podcasts / ,

“Canada, as you might know, is a mighty big country, which is why we found it funny when e-mailing Eddie C to set up an interview around his new album for Endless Flight, Parts Unknown, to find out he’d be staying in Berlin on his recent tour with fellow Canadian Mike Shannon. Slo-mo disco Eddie C and a guy who just released a minimal-minded collaboration with Dewalta? Intrigued to find out their connection to one another, we decided to get them together. In the process, we found out that the two shared time in the trenches of Kitchener, Ontario, with C holding down a radio show and Shannon throwing parties in the area. The two eventually lost touch as their music careers took them in different geographical directions: Nowadays, Shannon’s Cynosure label is based in Berlin, while C makes his home in Banff, Canada partly so he can indulge his other passion—skiing.”
