“Fierce club sounds from Kazakhstan.
Almaty, the largest city in Kazakhstan, is lucky to have Nazira Kassenova. The DJ and promoter is regularly credited with building up her city’s scene, and rightfully so. ZVUK, her series of DIY club nights, gave many young people their first experiences with inspired electronic music in intimate and free-spirited settings. She’s also repped her hometown abroad, first with her radio show New East With Nazira and now in her DJ sets at Room 4 Resistance in Berlin, where she’s a resident. Her journey has not been easy. Making things happen in a place so culturally and geographically removed from dance music’s main hubs requires extraordinary resourcefulness and dedication. More than anything though, it demands artistic vision—all that effort is only worth it if you really have something special to offer.
Nazira clearly does. As a curator, she’d be bold in any city—recent guests at ZVUK include the likes of Don’t DJ and Giant Swan, and in 2017 she helped book a one-off Almaty edition of Unsound, something that until then would have seemed impossible. As a DJ, she brings a sound that’s angular, modern and utterly body-rocking, as we hear on RA.659.”

Honey Dijon – Resident Advisor podcast #657 2018-12-31

Leave a Comment / Resident Advisor podcasts / Honey Dijon

“One of 2018’s standout DJs steps out of her comfort zone.
What a year it’s been for Honey Dijon. Riding off the success of 2017’s debut album, the Chicago artist released two more EPs on Classic Music, soundtracked catwalk shows for Louis Vuitton and emerged as one of dance music’s most vital and powerful voices, especially outspoken on issues of race, gender and the changing face of clubbing. But it was behind the decks where she made the biggest headlines. A DJ since the ’90s, she took the world by storm in 2018, playing 100s of shows at dozens of the most celebrated clubs and festivals. In her own words, it was a “watershed year.”
Dijon has excelled pushing a rambunctious DJ style that leans heavily on golden-era disco, techno and house. Classics abound in her sets. In other words, the perfect soundtrack for a celebratory New Year’s Eve podcast, right? Well, she had other ideas. Instead of hands-in-the-air euphoria, she goes dark and dubby on RA. 657, showing off, among other things, her love of minimal and industrial music. Don’t panic, though: the next 60 minutes is still Dijon through and through, packed full of inspirational messages and old-school references, plus, of course, a nod to the one and only Grace Jones.”

“A storming old-school electro session.
Given Bolland’s long-standing relationship with electro, we asked him to focus his RA podcast on the past, and more specifically records from the early 2000s backwards. He responded with a blistering set that shows that, while electro’s fundamentals haven’t changed much down the years, it remains one of electronic music’s most potent dance floor sounds.”

DJ Bus Replacement Service – Resident Advisor podcast #610 2018-02-05

Leave a Comment / Electronic music, Resident Advisor podcasts / DJ Bus Replacement Service

“Piss yourself.
Doris Woo is not like other DJs. There’s her stage outfit, a costume of North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong-un, which she faithfully wears to all her gigs. But that’s actually a minor detail compared to the music she plays. It’s hard to neatly summarize what happens in a DJ Bus Replacement Service set, but you might start by comparing it to a stand-up comedy act, one that playfully antagonizes its audience while making them dance, peppering club music’s most unhinged styles—ghettohouse, gabber, hard techno—with the most bizarre of musical novelties (consider one of this mix’s track titles, “‘Roxanne’ by The Police But Every Time They Say “Roxanne” It Gets Faster”). In the interview below, Woo herself puts it best: “I simply love playing bad and incorrect music at people for my own amusement.”
She is far from the only one amused. DJ Bus Replacement Service is becoming something of an unlikely phenomenon, with 2017 gigs at such esteemed events as Sónar and Freerotation (she’ll be returning to the latter festival this summer, both on her own and with her husband, Anthony Child, AKA Surgeon, as Little Baby Cheeses). How to explain her strange appeal? As Angus Finlayson said in a recent edition of The Hour: “Pissing yourself laughing on the dance floor is not an experience that comes around every weekend, and I would highly recommend it.” If you find that prospect weirdly tempting—or even if you don’t—we’d highly recommend RA.610.”

“Bangers in a Balearic haze.
Mic Newman has spent most of his life as an artist bouncing between London, Berlin and his hometown of Melbourne, Australia. Luckily, this trans-hemispherical existence seems to do wonders for his productivity. In addition to crafting balmy club tracks for labels like Love On The Rocks and Fine Choice Records, he runs a label of his own: Superconscious Records, with fellow Aussie Francis Inferno Orchestra. A few years ago, Newman found himself in limbo between London and Berlin, “living like a nomad, in and out of friends’ places and using random studios.” But he managed to find inspiration in the chaos, which found form on Altitude Attitudes, an LP of drifting, sun-kissed electronics on the French label Antinote under the name Mind Lotion.
Newman has a few distinct musical modes—in addition that one-off home listening LP, he just unveiled a new alter-ego called P.M.T.C.—but most of his records mine a particular sound: sunny and psychedelic, but with a smooth club punch. That’s what we get on RA.609, a lush introduction to Newman’s salty-aired sound.”

Dona aka DJ Plant Texture – Resident Advisor podcast #608 2018-01-22

Leave a Comment / Electronic music, Resident Advisor podcasts / DJ Plant Texture, Dona

“Busted breakbeats and psychedelia.
DJ Plant Texture is a drummer, if you couldn’t tell from his tracks. The Italian artist Dona Basile makes rough-and-tumble drum workouts that sound like they were found in an attic after years spent collecting dust. Jungle, house, hardcore, breaks, drumfunk—if it’s based on a breakbeat, DJ Plant Texture makes it. At a time when breakbeats are popping left and right, his raucous samples, chewed-up textures and pure speed-rush energy on releases for 1Ø PILLS MATE, Unknown To The Unknown, Ilian Tape and Jericho One set him apart from the pack. As Dona, his other alias, he makes no-nonsense house, techno and acid that harnesses the power of analogue equipment, imperfections and all. Dona tracks capture the raucous spirit of early house music in the same way that DJ Plant Texture channels hardcore and jungle.
Basile is no regular producer, and this is no regular podcast. Made with a busted turntable setup and recorded onto cassette tape for good measure, it’s nearly two hours long and presented more like a mixtape than a DJ set. He haphazardly but intuitively jumps between dance tracks old and new, soundtrack music, psychedelic rock and all kinds of other oddities. It’s meant as a snapshot of his upbringing, a mosaic of his influences. Raw, unique and straight to the point, the mix shows why Basile is poised for big things in 2018.”

Peggy Gou – Resident Advisor podcast #606 2018-01-15

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

“House, disco and acid from a DJ on the rise.
Peggy Gou is a relatively new DJ with a timeless style. The music she makes and plays often begs the question: was this track made yesterday or 20 years ago? This was true of her releases across 2016, where, on tracks like the standout “Gou Talk,” her production approach collapsed the sense of time. She recently told Red Bull that she wants to be more considered with her rate of releases from now on, but there’s no doubt her four EPs in 2016 kick-started things for her. (It also helped that they came out on leading labels like REKIDS, Phonica and the Ninja Tune sub-label Technicolour.) As a DJ, Gou plays a breadth of styles within a loose aesthetic framework. Whether it’s house, disco, techno or something fruitier, she seems to enjoy gritty drums, snaking melodies and throwing the mixer’s faders around. But however you choose to characterise Gou’s style, it’s clear that it’s working extremely well for her. As recently as 2015 she was playing sporadically in her native South Korea; in 2017, she played over 100 shows, which basically included every leading nightclub in the world.
We get something old and new on Gou’s RA podcast, a mix that highlights some of her all-time favourites as well as tracks from her upcoming EP for Ninja Tune. It’s the sound of a DJ who has well and truly arrived.”

Scott Zacharias – Resident Advisor podcast #606 2018-01-08

Leave a Comment / House, Resident Advisor podcasts

“A Detroit underdog steps up.
Scott Zacharias is a well-kept secret in a city full of them (Detroit), but that may be starting to change. Many know him from No Way Back, the Motor City party series where, sometime around dawn in the chill-out room, following hours of mind-bending techno next door, he unspools psychedelic tapestries of disco, jazz, Italo and whatever else seems to suit the moment. He applies the same freewheeling style to The Fantasy, his edits duo with Interdimensional Transmissions founder BMG, whose choice of source material stretches from Chris & Cosey to The Fatback Band. Central to his appeal is his unpredictability: on any given night, he’s as capable of odd eclecticism as he is of dirty club jams. Usually you’ll get a mix of both.
This anything-goes approach reflects a cornerstone of his city’s musical tradition: freeform radio, the genre-hopping format embodied by figures like The Electrifying Mojo. It’s earned Zacharias an ever-growing cast of die-hard fans, from regular punters to the likes of L.I.E.S. boss Ron Morelli. RA.606, an off-the-cuff romp through the clubbier side of his sound, shows what the fuss is about.”

Oscar Mulero – Resident Advisor podcast #596 2017-09-30

Leave a Comment / Electronic music, Resident Advisor podcasts, Techno / Oscar Mulero

“Deeper shades of techno.
There was a nice bit in the interview we did with Oscar Mulero a few years ago, where he was talking about setting up THE OMEN club with his friends in Madrid in the mid-’90s. “We actually had no clue there was an Omen club in Frankfurt at that time,” he said, referring to Sven Vath’s legendary venue. It’s easy to forget that not so long ago the international techno scene wasn’t really a scene at all, with isolated pockets of activity scattered around the globe. The big DJs from the UK, the US and Germany were beginning to travel regularly for the first time, but it was thanks to regional DJs like Mulero that they had clubs and scenes to go play in. These days Mulero is recognised as an artist who made Spain part of the European techno conversation.
You can trace Mulero’s evolution through one of his labels, Warm Up Recordings, which got started back in 2000 and is about to release its 50th record. Mulero’s tough, loop-driven sound of the 2000s gradually gives way to more heady and nuanced music. You’ll also find examples of this scattered across the discography of his other label, PoleGroup Recordings, as well as other leading techno outlets like Token, Mord and Semantica, the label that will release his next album in early 2018. We get a taste of other new material on Mulero’s RA podcast, which pulls in some unreleased music as well as other new cuts from across the techno scene.
The result is 60 minutes of mesmerising music—a style that’s helped Mulero become one of techno’s best and busiest DJs.”

“All Tiller, no filler.
Tiller’s digging skills naturally fuel his DJing. As well as having deep crates and an ear for feel-good music from across the world, he’s technically accomplished behind the decks, which explains why he’s increasingly in demand. (This year has been a blur of sets across Europe and North America.) His RA podcast includes some tantalising exclusives from Music From Memory and its sub-label, Second Circle, along with some of the tunes Tiller’s been playing out this past year.”

“Bristolian techno.
Martin’s RA podcast showcases his city’s scene, featuring his own work along with current or former Bristol artists like Kowton, Pev, Shanti Celeste and Batu. It features plenty of techno, but these tracks are rarely straightforward—we get the breakbeats of Tessela, Martin’s pummelling remix of Perc, and the breaks assault of “All My Love,” his collaboration with Peder Mannerfelt. There are also tracks from the Hessle Audio axis, which makes sense: over time Martin has proven himself capable of the kind of genre alchemy perfected by artists like Pearson Sound and Pangaea, a rare category of producer that Martin now fully belongs to.”

“A wild ride from a DJ on the rise.
On this week’s RA podcast, we’re feeling proudly nepotistic—Saoirse Ryan has worked here for seven years, heading up RA’s tickets department. Reassuringly enough, her involvement in the RA podcast is an easy case to make, something we could do through her gigs alone this year. So far in 2017: fabric, Concrete, AVA Festival, Gottwood and Love Saves The Day. Still to come: Into The Valley, Love International, Sankeys Ibiza, Houghton Festival and Freerotation. But this is about more than eye-catching bookings. We can say with a straight face that Saoirse is one of our very favourite DJs. It’s all the more satisfying that she’s achieved success by simply going out most weekends and playing incredibly well.”

“Few people have been as active as Pedro Winter AKA Busy P in French dance music. Hustling from the Radio FG studios to the Rough Trade record bins to Laurent Garnier’s parties at Rex Club, the enthusiastic teenager quickly became a mascot for the nascent Parisian house scene in the early ’90s. His growing popularity and network led him to organise events at Folie’s Pigalle and then Le Palace at the request of the Guettas. Winter could have remained a busy promoter if a French duo didn’t decide otherwise.
As they were about to drop their first album, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo asked Winter to join the Daft Punk adventure. From there, the young manager learned the ins and outs of the music industry on an international scale. It was a success story he was soon to repeat with his own label, Ed Banger, this time with another duo called Justice. With Ed Banger celebrating its 100th release, we caught up with Winter in his Montmartre office as he returned from Coachella to reflect on a career spanning two decades.”
