"If a record is falling apart at the seams, I'll probably like it." Recorded live at Houghton 2024, our latest Playing Favourites episode sees the London artist discussing the beautiful leftfield music that's soundtracked his life. British DJ and producer Call Super brings some colour to the depths of winter with this week's RA Exchange. The multifaceted artist has released music on Houndstooth, Hessle Audio, fabric, Dekmantel and the label he co-runs with Parris, can you feel the sun, becoming known for a deep yet always party-ready sound that combines house, UK funky, tech house and plenty more besides. In this interview, recorded at last year's Houghton Festival, he talks to RA's managing editor, Carlos Hawthorn, as part of our flagship live series, Playing Favourites. Among his choices are the music he listened to as a child; the record that inspired his passion for DJing; an artist who changed his perspective on music at large; and more practical songs he deploys in sets to refresh a crowd. The territory he covers is huge, from tech house and acid house to contemporary classical, experimental leftfield, abstract percussion and choral music. There are some tracks, he claims, that only work in certain contexts, but if played at the right time, "they send people." Listen to the episode in full. – Chloe Lula

Laksa's (@laksauk) contribution to techno is as vital as it is hard to define. The London-based Bristolian never sits still in one stylistic niche and is as likely to ramp up the techno as he is slow then down. His meticulously designed grooves have come on tasteful labels like Hessle Audio, Timedance and Ilian Tape, always with a focus on dance floor dynamics. Further creative outlets come in the form of the re:lax label, club night and NTS show he runs with with re:ni. Most recently he has cooked up the WONDA EP which includes a vocal collaboration with Nyege Nyege-affiliated Phelimuncasi The podcast he serves up for us is, in his own words, "a mix of hype and hypnotism" and it includes some tasty unreleased music from the man himself as well as the likes of Ma Sha, Siu Mata, Erik Luebs and Crespi Drum Syndicate. The 90 minutes are as wide-ranging as you might expect with bass-heavy grooves, trance-inducing synths, broken techno workouts and tribal rhythmic explorations all making sure both head and body are catered for in style.
909 is a special number for us at RA—the name of one of the most hallowed drum machines in all of music, and one of the foundations of techno music—and we're more than happy to offer it up to a DJ who has been a long-time favourite of our team: Glasgow's Bake. In fact, we commissioned this mix roughly ten years ago, but you can't rush perfection. When Bake emerged as one of the heads heads behind the label All Caps—a relatively short-lived but influential imprint that released massive tracks like Flørist's "Marine Drive" and Kowton's "TFB"—he also quickly became one of the most impressive DJs in the post-dubstep access, appearing frequently at Hessle Audio events and sharpening his skills behind the decks at the country's best parties. Now he runs his own, Spirit, at Sub Club. He has a wide-ranging style that touches on all kinds of leftfield techno and broken drum patterns. His nearly two-hour RA Podcast finds him at the end of a sort-of comeback year after some time out of the public eye, and it touches on tracks from Shackleton, Laksa, Batu, Karima F and Levon Vincent, to give you an idea. It's the kind of mix that oozes expertise and practice without feeling showy—the signs of a truly great DJ. If you don't know Bake, then now you do. @bake-all-caps Read more at https://ra.co/podcast/909
Vi gästas av Olof Dreijer som efter att kanske mest ha förknippats med duon The Knife nu dragit igång en satsning med fokus på solosläpp och dj-spelningar. Vi snackar om glad och “osvår” musik, proddande, oljefat och om att blanda stilar, men även om Bamba Club, Hessle Audio, fritidsledande, skivspelande (and even trance).

Ploy makes mad music – a lot of his music sounds mad. It shouldn't necessarily make sense but it does. The term discombobulated comes to mind at times but in the very best way. No, seriously we mean that as a compliment. For many years Ploy has been one of the most interesting producers in underground Electronic music having released records with the likes of Hessle Audio, Hemlock, Timedance and L.I.E.S. No two have sounded the same and each of them have drawn upon a musical influence or five as Ploy attempts to piece together his own flavour of dance. As an artist he has continued to evolve – creating his own world in which to release the music that feels right to him. Ploy's own record label, Deaf Test, has been integral in the evolution of his sound. Acting as a platform in which to experiment and explore new sounds and concepts. One challenge of his career thus far has been working out a way to connect the dots between his own musical tastes, productions and outlook towards club culture. However, as of late his focus has been rooted in the wonkier undercurrents of UK Bass music and its intersection with Tech House. A new record on Timedance forthcoming cements this idea. We invited Ploy to record a mix and the result… Well, you are in for a treat as we gain an insight into some of the music which makes Ploy tick on the dancefloor.
This episode of the RA Exchange originally ran in 2022. Shanti Celeste is one of those artists whose personality matches her DJ style. Her fun-loving nature and breezy demeanour always light up a room, as do her vibrant sets that span sunny house music, slow-burning disco and emotive techno—just revisit her RA podcast for a reminder. Fresh off her Hessle Audio debut, the London-based artist sat down with Martha Pazienti-Caidan for an honest chat about track selection, bad gigs and her approach to production. During DJ sets, the Peach Discs co-founder doesn't like to focus on genres. Instead, "I think about, like, building and releasing tension and making sure that I stay in a specific energy level," she explained. "Whereas before, I think I knew the energy I wanted to bring, but I didn't know how to do that cause I was just thinking about everything in terms of genre." Reaching this holistic stage, however, took time. It was a process of acquiring knowledge and experience but also confidence, she described, adding how she previously had "really bad imposter syndrome." Learning to recognise that certain factors might be outside an artist's control is essential to self-realisation, she continued. Recounting her experience of playing big festival stages, she noted the importance of "learning what side of yourself to channel" rather than compromise on music. For more details on her experience playing with fellow women DJs, her lockdown romance and recording her vocals, listen to the discussion in full.
@toumbaa sits on the crest of a wave of experimental artists in his hometown of Amman in Jordan. He mixes up a passion for UK rave and various sounds on the hardcore continuum with the traditional rhythmic forms of his homeland. After previous outings on All Centre and Hypnic Jerks, a superb debut EP on Hessle Audio last month has made him one of the most talked about producers in the game right now. His staggered broken beats, hefty sub bass and knack for a catchy rhythm are exceptional in design and execution. As a DJ he is no less meticulous: this week he works through some 35 tracks in 90 minutes, many of which are his own singular creations. They sit amongst work from the likes of Scratcha DVA, Migos, DJ Paypal and The Maghreban in a mix that is brilliantly loose and lithe to start with before tightening the screw and locking you into an all-body workout. In effortlessly joining the dots between the music he grew up with and the UK music he has grown to love, Toumba offers up all-new sound worlds.

In this episode of INSIGHTS, we have the privilege of being joined by a true stalwart of the UK bass music scene. If you've been paying even the slightest bit of attention over the years to that signature strain of wonky, skewed, bass driven techno, as purveyed by seminal labels such as Hessle Audio, Timedance, Livity Sound, Hemlock and Idle Hands, you will certainly be familiar with Bruce, who boasts a slew of landmark releases on all of the aforementioned imprints. We look back over his incredible career as well as discussing some extremely exciting new projects, most notably his new party TURN '23 which debuts at Strange Brew in Bristol on the Saturday 28th January with an absolutely ludicrous cast of greats from across the electronic music spectrum - DJ Marcelle, Nazar, Shelley Parker, Biped, Sybil, Aura Tekh and of course, Bruce himself.Over the course of this interview, we begin by discussing Larry's early years and formative experiences, meeting Ploy and Batu whilst studying at Bath Uni, moving to Bristol, the city's club culture and how two emails from Ben UFO and Peverelist in 2014 springboard his production career. We then discuss some of his career-highlights, both as a producer and DJ before moving onto his current projects - XRA with fellow Timedance and Hessle Audio heavyweight, Lurka, as well as his new solo live set. We conclude by talking about his Get Loose parties, before previewing his tantalising forthcoming event TURN '23!We are giving away three tickets for TURN '23 to one lucky winner!

There's a lot to be excited about this year. For the first Critics' Roundtable of 2023, RA staffers sat down to discuss the events, DJs, producers and technological developments that are poised to shape the electronic music landscape over the next twelve months. Featuring senior staff writer Nyshka Chandran, Bogotá city manager Luisa Uribe and US account manager Natalie Papaeracleous, the conversation starts in Colombia where artists such as Julianna and Matías Aguayo are creating parties and platforms that spotlight local talents. The group then explores how nature influences festival programming, focusing on the likes of Terraforma in Italy, Vietnam's (Re)treat and Thailand's Karma Kastle. Buzzworthy artists Sansibar, Amantra (AKA HUMA) and Hessle Audio's Toumba also get a mention, as does Venezuela's euphoric raptor house genre. Finally, the trio share their concerns and predictions for the Instagram economy, AI-generated music and the ethics of sampling. Listen to the conversation in full for more details on these topics.

Applecore. Portrait of an urban garden Author: Cosmin Nicolae, 2021 There's a garden between the buildings where I live. At first it was probably planned and landscaped. Then the plants (largely bushy, ornamental) grew naturally wild. I guess someone threw an apple core out the window one day. A shy apple tree has grown, nothing more than a handful of twigs. This year it bore fruit: four apples. Usually, not much comes out of apple seeds. Apparently this time it has. It usually takes between five and twelve years for the apple tree sprung from seed to bear fruit. 'Applecore' is the story of the apple seed that sprouted in a wild garden between buildings in Berlin. Sound piece commissioned by SEMI SILENT in the frame of the 2021 edition of SONIC FUTURE RESIDENCIES. Cosmin Nicolae is an anti-disciplinary artist working with image, sound, text to produce works of intimate reflection at the intersection of autoethnography, psychogeography and possible futures. Opening the door on Hessle Audio over a decade ago - an outlet that has gone on to become a defining voice within electronic music in the 21st Century, Nicolae's list of affiliations reads like a who's who of top tier contemporary music record labels. Cosmin Nicolae's work glides between music, film, hyperstitional theory fiction and a mix of media that formulate peripheral points of view. Lives and works in Berlin. www.cosminnicolae.com Recording, editing, and mixing by Cosmin Nicolae for SEMI SILENT.

A master of kinetic percussion and low end bass weight, Hemlock, Timedance and Hessle Audio producer Ploy has long been a techno favourite. On his most recent album, Unlit Signals on L.I.E.S., however, he mixes it up much more across nomadic tracks filled with visceral energy. In fact, the record chews up and spits out influences taken from "decades of UK dance" as well as plenty of harder, more raw and noisy industrial scenes. It features eight tracks all with a darker overriding mood, as well as "dishevelled closing hours delirium applied across a spectrum of bpm." That is of course the case on this week's podcast, which is a slippery selection of weighty rhythmic propulsions. As they pull you up, down, forwards and back, fractured percussion peppers the groove and twisted synths weave their way in and out of the cavernous spaces left behind. Whether playing slow and sludgy bass or hard and fast techno, Ploy seems somehow able to warp space and time, and often your mind and body are left just as bent out of shape.
For part 2 of episode 14, Shannon chats with Xiamen based DJ and producer @Knophasound, a contributor to the Home Fitness compilation and a budding producer who’s work often drowns in drony ambient melodies. His music feels timeless. Knopha has been using his down time to make more music. In 2018, he released “Nothing Nil” a space odyssey like EP, which she first discovered from Shanghai’s Eating Music label. The project showcases Knopha’s unique direction and sound. Now he’s dropped another track, in collaboration with Slowcook and an amazing team of producers from across China and abroad to help healthcare workers and victims of the deadly #Covid19 outbreak in the epicenter of Wuhan. All the proceeds from the Home Fitness compilation will go towards buying and donating supplies and essential items for medical care workers on the frontlines. His track in particular “8277-7172” is a stand out, already gaining praise on @Mixmag-1. Knopha shares how he’s been feeling, getting a chance to do a mix for Ben UFO’s Hessle Audio radio show and his new project that’s set to release soon.

Artist and producer Beatrice Dillon’s new piece for ASSEMBLY, infraordinary, combines installation and performance, in which specially composed sounds are triggered using the system’s Kinect camera, alongside a live controlled sound mix of the street. Inspired by writer Georges Perec’s concept of the ‘infra-ordinary’ - taking account of the micro events of the everyday - the performance attempts to examine and reframe the rhythmic patterns of the street outside. Pedestrians, traffic, roadworks, protest; the corner of Somerset House where Waterloo Bridge meets Embankment is a hive of often unpredictable activity and noise. Acknowledging and working with this to define a compositional framework, Marclay invited a series of guests to collaborate in bringing the outdoors inside for an evolving series of electro-acoustic performances. Beatrice Dillon is an artist and music producer who has produced solo and collaborative releases across Boomkat Editions, Hessle Audio, The Trilogy Tapes, PAN, Timedance and Where To Now? Recent performances include Barbican Centre, Tokyo’s wwwX, MUTEK Montreal, Dekmantel, Documenta Athens, Cairo’s Masåfåt Festival, Norway’s Insomnia and Documenta Athens. With a background in fine art, Beatrice has produced sound and music commissions for Outlands Network, Lisson Gallery, Études Paris, AND Festival, Somerset House and has collaborated with visual artists and choreographers across ICA, TATE, Southbank Centre, York Mediale, Centre d’Art Contemporain Geneva, MACVAL Paris, Nasher Center Dallas and Mona Tasmania amongst others. She was the recipient of Wysing Arts Centre’s artist residency, is a resident at Somerset House Studios and presents a show on NTS Radio. Christian Marclay’s ambitious and accomplished practice explores the juxtaposition between sound, photography, video and sculpture. His installations display provocative musical and visual landscapes and have been included in exhibitions around the world including the Whitney Museum of American Art, Venice Biennale, Centre Pompidou Paris and Kunsthaus Zurich. More recently, he exhibited The Clock at the Tate Modern (debuted at White Cube in 2010) – an artwork created from thousands of edited fragments, from a vast range of films to create a 24-hour, single-channel video. Podcast produced by Reduced Listening for Somerset House Studios ASSEMBLY Production by Music Hackspace and sound system by Call & Response, with sound and interaction programming from Black Shuck and Preverbal Studio. Lighting design by KitMapper. ASSEMBLY is supported by PRS Foundation’s The Open Fund, The Adonyeva Foundation and the John. S Cohen Foundation.
We are back! We missed the last one, thanks to the 8-day trad rave that is the Willie Clancy festival. A wonderful gathering of traditional music, but once the last weekend hits - let's just say this - send a drone over the town during that last weekend and you'd come back with footage that looked like gameplay straight outta Grand Theft Auto. So, here we are - normal lack of service resumes. We're brimming with new and old bits. Moving through stuff from Woven Skull, Jim O'Rourke, Welfare and Binga, Etch, Oil Gang, Hessle Audio and more. Bish bosh bang. Throw in some jungle, ravey piano, the Speaker of the House Of Commons losing his absolute nut and there ya go!

Throughout a career spanning almost a decade, Berlin-based Romanian producer and DJ Cosmin TRG has released music with Hessle Audio, Hemlock, Running Back, Rush Hour and 50Weapons. His latest is an ambient album entitled "Hope This Finds You Well" (available on bandcamp: cosmintrg.bandcamp.com/album/hope-th…inds-you-well). He tells us: "this mix is a collection of tracks I've come across recently that perked my ear. Traditionally, when putting together a mix I used tracks like building blocks that follows a certain narrative. Recently though, I'm much more excited about the relationship between very unique-sounding, individual tracks regardless of BPM, genre and other made-up boundaries.

London’s Ben UFO started out on pirate radio station Sub FM in 2007, playing alongside friends, producers and DJs Pangaea and Pearson Sound. After being sent new music every week, the trio started the Hessle Audio label, through which they joined the dots of the UK underground between house, techno, jungle and drum & bass. Ben has graduated to flagship London radio station Rinse FM and a near-constant touring schedule. Here, he touched on the label’s early days and making the weird accessible.
Many musicians genre-hop, but few have an inventive take on every style they touch. Cue Objekt. Across his output on labels like Hessle Audio, Leisure System and PAN, audacious sound design and arrangements twist dancefloor conventions. In parallel, Objekt has become a must-see DJs of his generation thanks to a deft mixing style and a technician’s mindset honed through work as an instrument developer at Native Instruments. Here, he delves into his sound design and meticulous approach to DJing.

Ploy released his first record on Batu's label Timedance in 2016 followed by 3 more records for the label and also releases on Hessle Audio and Hemlock. He is one of the most exciting new producers from the UK and we hope you enjoy his contribution to our podcast series! Interview: http://iliantape.de/ilian-tape-podcast-series-029/
Batu’s on a roll. He always is. In a few short years, the Bristol producer has made his own Timedance label widely acclaimed as one of the best out there, while his own productions constantly nudge swinging, bass heavy and broken beat techno in subtle new directions. They have come on the likes of Fringe White and Hessle Audio, while earlier this month he signed to XL Recordings for his latest EP. Always experimenting, challenging himself and and challenging us, he is an innovative artist driven by creating something new. In the DJ booth he’s just as interesting, and here serves up 100 minutes of music that show off his many different styles. His characterful broken beats eventually turn to techno, UK funky drum patterns and then get turned inside out as you’re left to float in a sea of ambient synths and subliminal rhythms. It’s a mix run through with the spirit of UK music from across the ages and wilfully flips mood and tempo so that you can start and end the mix at any point and it will always make sense.

Happy New Year one and all! We hope you’ll agree there could be no better way to start it off than with a second mix from the one and only Ben UFO. Think of this as side-b to last week’s side-a as, says Ben, “I went about this in the same way I would go about making a tape: two distinct but related ideas that I think work better on their own than if I'd tried to jam them together somehow.” It is another standout selection that showcases the Hessle Audio co-founder’s dual skills as both a tireless digger but also a technically skilled and accomplished DJ. Where side-a was an often heady affair with plenty of open space for you to get lost in, side-b plots a more high pressure and intense trajectory. It’s the peak of the trip that really gets you on your toes as it hurries through slamming grooves and a whole history of electronic music. The kick drums come on thick and fast throughout. Some feel blissed-out and dreamy, others feel dark and menacing. There are nods to the funky dread of hardcore, slither of electro and swing of UK garage along the way, and every new drop helps colour the mix and ensure it is anything but a linear and predictable affair. Once again mixing crate-digging smarts with a rare dance floor dynamism, these two Dekmantel mixes are the sound of Ben UFO at his best.
This Saturday, May 20, Aaron Davis teams up with As You Like It to bring Acid Camp to San Francisco, hosting the Loft at Public Works with Marcellus Pittmann, Zernell, and a B2B from Davis himself and AYLI resident Mike Gushansky, while downstairs the Hessle Audio crew (Ben UFO, Pearson Sound, and Pangaea) go back-to-back-to-back all night long.
Here at Dekmantel we are a big fan of Berlin based Brit Objekt. Evidence: you will see him play our festival in Amsterdam as well as Lente Kabinet, and then Dekmantel Selectors in Croatia. And right now, the man known for his unrivalled technical nous is in a fine run of form. His recent, self-released EP is another testament to his ability to skew house, techno and breaks into his own imaginative forms. Following on from releases on Hessle Audio, Bleep and an album on PAN, it is another boon in his fine discography. And he is just as impressive across a 90 plus minute selection for us: it finds him serving up a cavernous world of intricate and hi fidelity sounds that are abstract and unusual. Moving through sparse minimal soundscapes into pummelling but atmospheric drum tracks and on to jungle, dub and experimental worldly rhythms, it is a wildly compelling and singular selection filled with unusual sounds that often leaving you wondering WTF?!
UK DJ and producer Kowton admits that he is obsessed with sound. For the past five years he has been locked away in Bristol with the likes of Peverelist and Asusu working on perfecting the most hi fidelity, highly functional bass and techno that he can. It has lead him to release on influential labels like Hessle Audio, Livity Sound and Idle Hands, and last month his debut album proved his mission has been worth it: "Utility" features nine tracks of crisp, atmospheric techno that brood with urban menace. Physical, broken and punchy, the beats are designed simply to make you move your body, and they sure do that. The podcast he has served up for us (which features a number of unreleased and forthcoming tracks on Ilian Tape, Not So Much and Trilogy Tapes) marries that same sense of stripped back functionalism with clean and abstract sound design, heavy bass and high pressure beats. There is a real sense of late night mischief and subtle rave energy to it that makes the whole thing feel hugely coherent from start to finish. Modern, left of centre and rather UK centric, the Kowton sound sure is serious, but it is also hugely seductive.
Line Noise is a podcast about electronic music from Philip Sherburne and Ben Cardew.

Interstellar travel is the term used for hypothetical manned or unmanned travel between stars. Interstellar travel will be much more difficult than interplanetary spaceflight; the distances between the planets in the Solar System are less than 30 astronomical units (AU)—whereas the distances between stars are typically hundreds of thousands of AU, and usually expressed in light-years. Because of the vastness of those distances, interstellar travel would require either great speed, a high percentage of the speed of light, or huge travel time, lasting from decades to millennia or longer. The speeds required for interstellar travel in a human lifetime far exceed what current methods of spacecraft propulsion can provide. Even with a hypothetically perfectly efficient propulsion system, the kinetic energy corresponding to those speeds is enormous by today’s standards of energy production. Moreover, collisions by the spacecraft with cosmic dust and gas can produce very dangerous effects both to passengers and the spacecraft itself. A number of strategies have been proposed to deal with these problems, ranging from giant arks that would carry entire societies and ecosystems, to microscopic space probes. Many different spacecraft propulsion systems have been proposed to give spacecraft the required speeds, including nuclear propulsion, beam-powered propulsion, and methods based on speculative physics. For both manned and unmanned interstellar travel, considerable technological and economic challenges need to be met. Even the most optimistic views about interstellar travel see it as only being feasible decades from now—the more common view is that it is a century or more away. However, in spite of the challenges, if interstellar travel should ever be realized, then a wide range of scientific benefits can be expected.

Singular sounds from one third of Hessle Audio.
For our next podcast we head out to the Far East, specifically to Chiba in Japan, where the cult favourite DJ Nobu resides. From there the man behind legendary party Future Terror and esteemed label Bitta has been putting out weird electronics, spacey electro and atmospheric techno since the late 90s. He releases rather infrequently, but when he does you can be sure he never does the same trick twice. It is the same story when he is DJing: he always manages to conjure up fresh tricks, textures and tunes depending on the situation and has put out many official mix CDs to that end. From contemporary electronic pieces to abstract techno, his wide repertoire has made him a favourite with the likes of the Berghain crew and Hessle Audio associate Ben UFO, who played with him recently at the Red Bull Music Academy, whilst he also played a stand out set on Boiler Room at our own Dekmantel festival earlier in the year. The podcast he has put together for us is just over an hour of occult ambient littered with the sounds of the Far East. It is patient and absorbing, zoned out and eerie as well as being hugely organic and natural sounding. Drums only appear in the latter half and when they do, they still come embellished with pixel thin pads, metallic surfaces and harmonic sounds that continue to sooth your mind in fresh new ways.
It is to UK shores we head now, and to the assured bunker where Hessle Audio, Clone and Hemlock producer Randomer resides. For the best part of a decade now, the man born Rohan Walder has been turning out interesting and arresting electronic music that veers from acid to ghetto, bass heavy to beat driven. Always laying down groves with a jacking edge and roughen texture, he is a contemporary innovator who is just as unique a proposition in the DJ booth. This new podcast proves that and wastes no time in getting going. Right from the off it is a hurried and physical affair that never sits still for a second through the ensuing hour. The whole thing is tightly mixed with plenty of energy and proceeds at never less than 100 miles an hour. Every track is a fulsome, busy and brutal offering that cannot fail to get your attention on a Tuesday morning.
Yarn Audio strikes back with another fabulous mix. Guest of honour is Tommy Harrison, delivering a playful selection of cutting-edge bass music and genre-shaping classics. Influenced by the likes of Mark Pritchard, Mosca, Boddika, Hessle Audio, Joy O, Floating Points, Zed Bias, Roska, Julio Bashmore and Digital Soundboy....but also bumping J Dilla non-stop. To say Harrison is versatile is not only an understatement, but somehow insulting to him as a DJ. Not only is he journeying over various genres of music, his record selections and performances involve music that has depth, soul and hits you in all those places you want it to...just when you want it to!
Автор BigRoom микса в нашем подкасте, Олег Fstep - основатель вечеринок Capital Bass, один из ярких активистов урбанистичечской английской музыки с глубокими басами в России. О музыке, гаджетах и любимых местах Олег поведал нам в небольшом интервью. 44100Hz: На каких музыкантов стоит обратить внимание слушателям, если они хотят проникнуться басс-музыкой? За кем стоит понаблюдать? FStep: Я вообще не очень люблю это определение, оно скорей было промежуточным в какой-то момент, когда под влиянием классического британского и американского звучания начали появляться новые артисты из Великобритании, Германии и др. стран. Если говорить о музыкантах, которые любят низкие частоты, то наверное, я назову Hessle Audio в лице Pearson Sound и Pangaea, пионер британской клубной сцены Photek, а также Joy Orbison. Уверен, что все эти люди сделали свой непосильный вклад в эволюцию мировой электронной музыки. 44100Hz: Мы тебя знаем как отличного промоутера и диджея, а пишешь ли ты музыку? Что тебе ближе: диджеинг, создание музыки или промоутерская деятельность? FStep: Странный вопрос, это примерно то же самое, что и спросить - что тебе ближе спать, есть или гулять по улице? Это совершенно разные виды деятельности, музыку я сам не пишу, для меня интереснее момент изучения, наблюдения за музыкой, именно поэтому в начале 2013 года мы наконец выпусктим первую виниловую пластинку на нашем новом лейбле - Capital Bass. 44100Hz: На чем предпочитаешь играть (винил, CD, digital) и какие наушники использовать (возможно, еще какие-то гаджеты)? FStep: Больше всего я люблю играть - винил + cd, чаще всего так и играю, иногда использую серато, но в основном делаю это на гастролях, поскольку таскать с собой 50-килограммовую сумку просто не могу. Что касается наушников, то я лет 5 играл в Technics, 2 раза у них накрывалось одно ухо, решил попробовать aiaiai tma-1, меньше чем через год началась вибрация в одном ухе, так что ты никогда не угадаешь. Но что касается звука, tma-1 мне нравятся. 44100Hz: Какое значение для тебя имеет перформанс (видеоинсталяция, шоу) во время выступления? FStep: Я вообще не думаю, что он нужен на танцевальной вечеринке. Тут важен правильный свет и атмосфера, а видеоряд важен во время живых выступлений или на больших площадках, где это создает дополнительный эффект привлечения внимания большой аудитории. 44100Hz: Какая вечеринка Capital Bass тебе запомнилась больше других? FStep: Мне трудно судить о своих мероприятиях, но лично мне безумно понравился сет Стива Коуд Найна на открытии Capital Bass в Солянке, это настоящий профессор, а не диджей. Каждый новый трек, который он ставил, вызывал во мне бурю эмоций. 44100Hz: Поделись планами на зиму-весну, какие вечеринки нас ожидают? FStep: 24 ноября будет лайв Kuedo и диджей сет Pangaea, ну а дальше будет видно. 44100Hz: Какой музыкальный фестиваль тебе больше всего запомнился в этом году? FStep: Не очень люблю большое скопление людей, предпочитаю камерные вечеринки, там меньше случайных людей и можно поймать настоящую энергию. Наверное, удивлю вас, если скажу, что мне понравилось на небольшом норвежском фестивале в Осло под названием Oya. Открыл для себя много интересной рок-музыки, а также в первый раз услышал бек-ту-бек лайв скандинавских диско-гениев Тодда Терье и Линдстрома, у них была тонна синтов, драм машин и другой аппаратуры. Дико крутой лайв. 44100Hz: Любимое место культурного отдыха в Москве? FStep: Самый культурный отдых в Москве - в компании моей семьи. 44100Hz: Много ли ты гастролируешь? Где в России любят басс-музыку больше всего? FStep: Минимум раз в месяц играю за пределами Москвы. Очень разную музыку, это и хаус, и гэридж, и техно, и чисто британский звук. Могу сказать, что наиболее прогрессивные города, из тех, где я был (кроме Москвы и Питера), - это Ижевск и Воронеж, Бар Веселых Историй и 100 Ручьев. Классные места, и ребята-промоутеры двигаются в очень правильном направлении, не идя на поводу у публики и продвигают правильные вещи, привозят хороших артистов. Таких людей не так много, надеюсь, в каждом регионе скоро появятся свои герои. 44100Hz: Какой европейский город, на твой взгляд, наиболее интересен с музыкальной точки зрения? Может быть, есть какие-то места силы? FStep: Без вопросов - Берлин, меня подкупает немного мрачный послевоенный флер, который, мне кажется, никогда не уйдет из этого города. Ну и конечно, рекорд-шопы. Самый любимый, наверное, - Hard Wax. 44100Hz: Серым осенним утром, чтобы проснуться и взбодриться, ты слушаешь... FStep: Я вообще мало слушаю музыку вне клубов, тем ценнее для меня мои любимые песни. Когда я действительно чувствую потребность что-то послушать, это может быть группа Police, Gil Scott Heron или, скажем, Prince. 44100Hz: Недавно DJ Mos написал в фейсбуке, что ты его "лучший друг-диджей". А кто твой лучший друг диджей? FStep: Вы меня этим вопросом ставите в тупик, ну и что мне остается, кроме как ответить, что, конечно, диджей Мос? 44100Hz: Расскажи немного о треках, которые ты включил в микс, и о всем миксе в целом? FStep: Да нечего особенно рассказывать. Я решил записать чисто клубный микс из современных клубных бенгеров, без особых изысков и эстетства - надеюсь, вам понравится.

This set was recorded live at Mutek_10: Brooklyn Preview at Studio B on April 11, 2009. Pangaea is part of the Hessle Audio crew, who are kind of owning dubstep at the moment. This set had the very techno-centric Beyond crowd losing their shit on the dancefloor, including many people who claim to hate dubstep.
