Fractal Club Podcast

Ahead of tonight's party at The Mash House, we asked Overground head Wrisk to put together a mix showcasing his infuences & tastes. Within a few days he fired us back this multi-genre, foot stomping badboy. James had this to say, "As a music hoarder, the hardest thing about doing a mix without any restrictions is narrowing down a tracklist. I made a playlist of a few hundred digi tracks and selected a stack of records with a vague idea of where I wanted it to go and a few transitions in mind but it was for the most part improvised. 95% was recorded live on two turntables (with Traktor DVS for the digi tracks) and the ambient sections were done in Ableton as well as a few tweaks here and there. It covers genres from new wave to jungle, tempos from 110-170bpm and jumps between moods and energy levels, but despite this I feel that there's a constant thread running throughout which is what I was aiming for!" Bravo sir! Catch Wrisk tonight at The Mash House for more of the same...

Issue 8 of the Fractal Club Podcast comes from an up and coming DJ who has recently caught our eye with a series of impressive mixtapes. Scott Johnstone, or Scud - is a Fife local, and has been seeking out the best parties in Scotland since he was 16. Drawing his influences from some of our countries most revered tastemakers, Scud counts the Firecracker Recordings Crew (Fudge Fingas / Linkwood / House of Traps), and J.D Twitch & J.G Wilkes of Optimo (Espacio) as his main inspirations, with records from International label's like Dekmantel, Smallville and Giegling featuring regularly in his record bag. In this mix, Scud brings together tracks from Hunee, D-IX, and our own resident duo Hi + Saberhägen to create a smooth, melodic and driving summer soundscape. Perfect for BBQ season. Enjoy!

For the seventh issue of the Fractal Club Podcast, we are delighted to host a mix from a Dj/Producer making waves in Berlin's electronic music community. Dirty Lemon, or Alvaro Lagartera, was born in Talavera de la Reina, deep in the Spanish countryside. Developing a love for Electronic Music from an early age has seen him travel to London and Ibiza, soaking up influences along the way, before settling in Germany's capital 7 years ago. Being immersed in such an inspiring environment led to the launch of Panea Records in 2016, with compatriots Aleexe, Gustavo Cardenas and Rodrigo Diaz. Their first EP was very well received, featuring tracks from Primary Perception, Saverio Celestri, and Gustavo Cardenas & Dirty Lemon himself. With a future EP soon to drop, we're very honoured to be hosting such a sweet mix. With tracks from S.Moreira, Saverio Celestri, and labels such as Slow Life, Sleepers, and of course, Panea - this mix takes in Deep House, Electro, Techno, Breaks and Acid, and certainly bangs. You can see influences of DJ Stingray, Drexciya, and Underground Resistance shine through. Big thanks to our friend Carla in Berlin for the link up, we hope to bring some of the Panea crew to Edinburgh in the near future :) For more information on Dirty Lemon & Panea Records, check out the following links; Dirty Lemon FB: https://www.facebook.com/dirtylemonpanea/?fref=ts RA : https://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/dirtylemon Panea Records FB: https://www.facebook.com/panearecords/?fref=ts RA : https://www.residentadvisor.net/record-label.aspx?id=13934 discogs : https://www.discogs.com/label/1031758-Panea-Records

For the fourth Issue of the Fractal Club Podcast, we are delighted to host our first guest DJ, and what a mix it is. Since the clubbing bug took hold of us, trips through to The SubClub, and Sensu in particular, have had a massive influence on our tastes, and the excellent warm up's provided by their stellar team of residents have always been a reason to get down early. Cesco Ferri, one of those residents, has here provided a snapshot into what to expect when he steps up in that famous basement booth on Jamaica Street. With warm up slots in the Subby for Raresh, Roman Flugel, Tobi Neumann, tINI & Gerd Janson all under his belt, it really is no surprise that Cesco has knocked together a mix of the highest quality. With tracks by the likes of Lawrence (that man again), Nightmares on Wax & Acid Mondays, Octave One, Simian Mobile Disco and Makam all featuring, and music released on such esteemed labels as Dessous Recordings, Warp Records, and Dekmantel - the mixing here really is top calibre.
