"I'm like a collector—everything I come across makes it into my music." The dance music don talks about the music that shaped him and his recent L.B. Dub Corp album on Dekmantel. Luke Slater, the British DJ, producer and occasional drummer, has been making music under a slew of monikers since the '80s: Planetary Assault Systems, L.B. Dub Corp, LSD, The 7th Plain, Clementine—the list goes on. While he's put out an excellent range of dynamic analogue music that runs the gamut of house, acid, breakbeat, electro and even spoken word, he's probably best known for his productions and live shows that focus on sleek and solid techno, as showcased on Ostgut Ton and his own imprint, Mote-Evolver. In the latest instalment of our flagship live series Playing Favourites, Slater unpacks the tracks that, for him, best illustrate the history of techno at large, as well as the records that define his creative process and career trajectory. He speaks with Chloe Lula live from Polifonic festival about his love of Detroit and Underground Resistance, as well as the abiding influence of hip-hop on his early work and his love of intentionally integrating mistakes in his music. He also reflects on how he became the first non-German artist to release on Berghain's esteemed record label, as well as discussing his most recent release, Saturn to Home, for Dekmantel. The double LP saw him return to his drumming practice and introduce surprising and powerful collaborations from electronic music contemporaries and vocalists like Kittin and the poet Benjamin Zephaniah. Listen to the episode in full.

Steve Hillage is a founding member of System 7, one of the key proto-trance acts of the early 90s, and Mirror System whose latest album 'Route 77' is out now.Prior to his involvement in dance music he had an extensive career as a guitarist in bands such as Gong, Decadence (with Kevin Ayers), Khan, and Uriel, formed with the members still at school. His solo career includes records produced by Nick Mason and Todd Rundgren, and his own production career includes records with Simple Minds and The Charlatans.Additionally, that pretty stellar CV also includes a key contribution to the representation of dance music at Glastonbury with the establishment of the dance tent in 1995.So clearly this is a good person to have on the show. We discuss the psychedelic rock scene in the 70s, the development of music tech in the 80s, and his eventual realisation that dance music was his musical home by the time of the first System 7 record in 1990.And of course a lot of other stuff too... including some advice from Jimi Hendrix and the connection between Underground Resistance and George Clinton.This is a great way to start 2025, get involved!If you're into what we're doing here on the pod then you can support the show on Patreon!

For the tenth episode of There Is No Planet Earth Stories, I'm joined by guest Alan Oldham representing stories from Detroit.ALAN OLDHAM has been called “Detroit's Renaissance Man,” equally as known for his art as for his music under the pseudonym DJ T-1000.  The Detroit-born polymath, now living and working in Berlin, began his dual careers in the late 80s. First as the host of the “Fast Forward Program” on WDET FM 101.9, Detroit's first-ever radio show devoted exclusively to electronic music, and as a young indie comic artist, writing and drawing his own original creation, “Johnny Gambit” (predating the Marvel character). Oldham was later tapped by his childhood friend, Derrick May, to illustrate the label art for the now-classic records “Nude Photo” and “Beyond The Dance” on his fledgling Transmat label, and Detroit Techno history was made. Oldham was later hired by another childhood friend, Jeff Mills, to do freelance PR for the nascent Underground Resistance collective, writing press releases for the label. When Mills departed for a solo career, UR partner “Mad” Mike Banks tapped AO to replace him as DJ for their Australian Tour of 1992. The codename DJ T-1000 was adopted, and history was made once again.  Jumpstart to infamy.Since then, as an international DJ, Oldham has spun all over the planet, as far afield as Tokyo, Manila, The Phillipines, and Shanghai. When he's not behind the decks at home clubs Tresor Berlin and RSO, on the road to places like Batumi, Georgia or Trapani, Italy, or in the studio making music for labels like RSPX/Rekids, BPitch Berlin, Suspected Music, Third Ear, Elypsia Records, or his own Pure Sonik Records label, he is making new paintings and organizing art openings showcasing his iconic works. Oldham has put on art happenings in Amsterdam, Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, Vienna, and Detroit, as well as his iconic techno artworks being on view in Paris, London and Dusseldorf, as part of its traveling “Electronic: From Kraftwerk to the Chemical Brothers” exhibit. The multi-talented Oldham has also made his artistic debut in Kobe, Japan in 2022 with the exhibit “Massive Dynamic” at the Nick Jerky Art Cafe. In 2024, Oldham was also honored by the Mayor and Detroit City Council with a “Spirit of Detroit” Award for his musical and artistic contributions to his hometown. And back in Berlin, as part of Love Parade founder Dr. Motte's Rave The Planet team, Oldham helped Berlin Techno to achieve UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage status. Oldham's long-awaited EP as DJ T-1000 for Rekids sub-label RSPX is out now, as well as his new “Ask Me No Questions And I'll Tell You No Lies” EP on Pure Sonik Records, currently riding high on several Spotify techno charts including Mary Anne Hobbs' on BBC6. New releases to come!Support the show

Rolando grew up in south west Detroit, a primarily Hispanic district of the city, he was heavily influenced by his Latin cultural rhythms and percussion. Inspired from an early age by his musician father, he pursued his own interest in music and became well known and respected within the Latino community. It was later when he heard Jeff Mills in 1985 as "The Wizard" that he discovered the innovative sounds of Techno. Through a mutual friend he was introduced to Mike Banks and joined the enigmatic Underground Resistance in 1994. In 1999 'Jaguar' although not Rolando's first release on UR turned perceptions of Techno on their head, breaking into other genres of dance music and becoming an all time classic in the boxes of DJs such as Tenaglia, Carl Cox, Oakenfold, and Gilles Peterson. The track has a long legacy of reworking and lives on to this day many years later inspiring audiences from all genres. In November 2004, Rolando left both Underground Resistance and his Los Hermanos project behind.2014 saw Rolando launch his own label R3 ( Roland Rocha Records) and has more or less exclusively released his own music on his label since. Rolando now a Dj for more than thirty –five years continues to work internationally as a Dj , producer and Remixer with an eclectic clientele such as Marcel Dettman, Kraftwerk, D'Julz, Ben Sims, Skudge, A Sagittariun. Rolando continues to hold his residency 2006) at Berlin club Berghain.

This is an excerpt from a patrons-only episode. To hear the whole thing and much more besides, visit Patreon.com/LoveMessagePod Earlier this month UNESCO added Berlin techno to its List of Intangible Cultural Heritage, a register to recoginize and safeguard important traditions, practices and expressions. This news was met with consternation from music fans over how this honour completely overlooked the birthplace of techno, Detroit. For this patrons-only episode, Jeremy and Tim react to the news by pulling out a dozen or so of their favourite Detroit techno cuts to discuss. We hear about the ‘Belville Three', post-Fordism, Alvin Tofler and the relationship between Chicago and Motor City. The guys dwell on the aesthetic of coldness and futurity that characterised much of the Detroit sound, folding in the Panthers, jazz and unidentified flying objects into records from Underground Resistance, Carl Craig, Drexciya and Theo Parish. Plus, we hear one of the first records Jeremy ever bought, memories of squat parties past, and a de rigour David Mancuso cameo.

Henrietta Smith-Rolla, known professionally as Afrodeutsche, gives Caro C insights into her musical journey, from her introduction to the music industry in Manchester, finding her sound, getting signed to Skam Records and becoming a BBC 6 Music DJ with a prime-time Friday evening slot.Chapters00:00 - Introduction01:22 - BBC 6 Music04:05 - Becoming A Musician06:40 - Getting Signed To Skam10:11 - Equipment Used On Debut Album13:59 - Using Synth Pads16:19 - More Recent Projects18:19 - Creating Sample Packs For Spitfire20:11 - Working With The Kyma27:09 - Being Productive32:30 - Balancing Different ProjectsAfrodeutsche BiogAFRODEUTSCHE (Henrietta Smith-Rolla), is a British born Ghanaian/Russian/German artist, composer, producer, and DJ based in Manchester, UK. Her polyrhythmic compositions integrate a wide array of musical genres, including Afrofuturistic electro and techno, classical solo piano and Detroit legacy house; all memorable journeys into deep, abstracted sound.Praised by the Guardian for enacting a new wave of club music, named by Dummy Mag as one of 2019's most exciting artists, Afrodeutsche's spectacular debut album ‘Break Before Make' was released on the legendary Skam label in 2018, followed in 2019 with the debut release on Eclair Fifi's label River Rapid and a much praised remixes for artists as diverse as Marie Davidson (Ninja Tune), Joep Beving (Deutsche Grammophon) and Nathan Fake (Cambria Instruments).AFRODEUTSCHE has written and performed scores for films and documentaries including the BAFTA nominated ‘Kamali' about a young girl skateboarder in India, and a live re-score of renowned Earth documentary ‘Baraka' at The Royal Northern College of Music.The soundtrack for ‘Kamali' was released by SA Recordings in September 2020, alongside a sample library for Spitfire. The audio library illuminates much of Henrietta's writing process as a self-taught musician and composer. Inspired by her work with the Kyma sound design environment, it's a set of tools for composition based around colour. Her aim is to offer a new perspective and a sense of freedom for those delving into the library, no matter their level of experience.In the summer of 2022 she scored Bottega Veneta's SS2023 collection runway show, during Milan Fashion Week working, closely with head designer Matthieu Blazy throughout the process.In 2023 she premiered a new string ensemble commission for MIF at the prestigious new Factory International venue. Henrietta lent her own vocals and piano playing alongside a sting ensemble from the Manchester Camerata, arranged and conducted by Robert Ames.After years hosting a regular radio show ‘Black Forest' on the renowned NTS, AFRODEUTSCHE now leads BBC 6 Music's Friday night schedule with the Peoples Party, a peak time show that entrances listeners with her idiosyncratic combinations of crate dug party tunes from any point in the last 50 years, acid, rave, electro, breaks, footwork, ghetto tech and jacking house. In 2022 she has regularly presented BBC 6 Music live coverage of festivals at Glastonbury and Cardiff. At the end of the summer she curated the 6 Music stage for London festival ‘All Points East'. Her DJ style is a synthesis of Drexciyan and Underground Resistance-inspired selections, intercut with a variety of forward thinking UK techno such as Bola and Lego Feet. Forever evolving a fully live hardware show, AFRODEUTSCHE debuted it at the opening of CTM Festival at Berghain in February 2020, integrating classical piano and hardware along with visuals. https://linktr.ee/afrodeutscheCaro C BiogCaro C is an artist, engineer and teacher specialising in electronic music. Her self-produced fourth album 'Electric Mountain' is out now. Described as a "one-woman electronic avalanche" (BBC), Caro started making music thanks to being laid up whilst living in a double decker bus and listening to the likes of Warp Records in the late 1990's. This 'sonic enchantress' (BBC Radio 3) has now played in most of the cultural hotspots of her current hometown of Manchester, UK. Caro is also the instigator and project manager of electronic music charity Delia Derbyshire Day.URL: http://carocsound.com/Twitter: @carocsoundInst: @carocsoundFB: https://www.facebook.com/carocsound/

Hey Friends freue mich sehr euch heute eine neue Episode meiner Indie Dance The Mix Series präsentieren zu können... diesmal mit Léo Larbi & Sainte Chanèle aka C O N V E R S A T I O N aus Frankreich. Hey friends I am very pleased to be able to present you a new episode of my Indie Dance The Mix Series today... this time with Léo Larbi & Sainte Chanèle aka C O N V E R S A T I ON from France. BIO With her, Sainte Chanèle, it often sings, with him, Léo Larbi, not that much. With her there was Catherine Ringer, witches and Supertramp, with him there was hip-hop, flourish counterpoint and Underground Resistance. With them, Conversation, happen the bizarre, the PtiChat, the dark and the sparkling. A Conversation that goes from the subdued light of an inner dialogue, in an early morning after, to the stroboscope of a seething club, peak time. Him and her: it's a Conversation from the brain to the hips, from the hips to the brain. It's a Conversation from her to him and him to her and, most of all, from them to us. They jubilate, it's obvious, and their compelling joy of playing spreads to the dancefloor. A Conversation in which we can't decide who follows who, him and her become distinct but indiscernible. Conversation digs deep in the past to discover forgotten nuggets as much as canvasses the present, always on the lookout for the last release. For them musical genres are not stops, but milestones, thresholds, to explore, mix, and go beyond: voices emerge from dark waves and join the ghetto grooves from Chicago, the stern hi hats from Berlin streak the warm roundness of a disco bass, outlandish melodies disorient breakbeat rhythmic, synthetic adjoins organic... Conversation speaks to us, tells us, letting our dance steps inventing our stories and meanings.

Jeff Mills, Neue Grafik, Prabhu Edouard and Knoel Scott talk about improvisational performance, rhythms as a form of communication and how technology is overtaking the artist. Jeff Mills started out on the Detroit techno scene in the 1980s before founding Underground Resistance with ‘Mad' Mike Banks in 1989. He left Detroit for New York in 1991 (via a residency at Berlin's mighty Tresor), to pursue a solo career and set up his own label, Axis. Since then, he's released a number of projects, including two volumes of Waveform Transmissions for Tresor; 2005's Blue Potential, a live album recorded with the 70-piece Montpelier Philharmonic Orchestra; and a new soundtrack for Fritz Lang's 1926 film Metropolis in 2000. In 2018, he set up the Afrofunk-electro-jazz ensemble Tomorrow Comes The Harvest with the late Nigerian drummer Tony Allen, and has been making music and performing with the collective ever since. Neue Grafik is a composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist making a truly unique sound. Blending hip-hop, jazz and house, his music draws a map between his African heritage, time in Paris and love of London's grime scene. Forming the Neue Grafik Ensemble at an after-hours jam session at London's Total Refreshment Centre, he's established himself as formidable force in the world of jazz. Indo-French percussionist and composer Prabhu Edouard is recognised as one of the most versatile tabla players of his generation. A student of the legendary Pandit Shankar Ghosh, he's collaborated with artists from around the world including Jean-Pierre Drouet and Laxmi Shankar, and is part of the afrofunk-electro-jazz ensemble Tomorrow Comes The Harvest. Knoel Scott is an American saxophonist and composer best known for his time with jazz collective Sun Ra Arkestra. With a career spanning more than 40 years, he's worked alongside jazz greats including Lou Donaldson and Leon Thomas. Most recently, he's released his first major studio album, Celestial with long time collaborator Marshall Allen.

The machinery came to a clattering halt, the sheer sound of it forcing the entire building to judder and shake. The factory had seen better days; the brickwork was crumbling away, the smell of dust and oil hung thick in the air and clung to your clothes. It was a wonder it still operated as it did, that it even opened on a daily basis or that it managed to retain enough staff to keeping things ticking over. Slowly but surely its purpose was becoming defunct, but it would cling on to life for as long as humanly possible... Cyphon Recordings next signing have made a name for themselves under a number of different aliases. The Tijuana-based brother duo have had deep house outings as Soul of Hex and a debut as Mano De Fuego on Underground Resistance, but with this brand new project, Cyborg Nerve, their focus is firmly on electro. Balancing crystallised intergalactic cuts and raw, machine funk grooves, the EP is a triumphant introduction to the newest musical string to the Vicario Musique Recordings bow.

There are DJs, then there are DJs who capture—and live—a moment in dance music's evolution. Born in Los Angeles, but based in New York for the better half of a decade, Akua has established herself as the latter, an important voice in the North American techno scene. Akua's DJing practice is fueled by her research in the '90s techno music archive, with a special interest in the history and roots of techno within America. Akua's sets are raw extensions of the foundations laid by the pioneers of '90s U.S. techno. Most prominently, the work and influence of DJs like Jeff Mills, Claude Young and Jay Denham can all be heard across her mixes, as well as the spirit of Underground Resistance. Her interest in fast-paced techno comes from these traditions as well as own individualist streak—while there's no shortage of DJs who play high-BPM techno, you won't hear anyone else play it quite like she does. Her old-school meets new-school sound has catapulted her from the New York underground into the European techno circuit, where recent gigs have seen her perform at dance music institutions like Berghain and Dekmantel. Akua's RA Podcast is her in full-throttle mode, featuring all the stripped-down, hypnotic groove of early techno aside rushes of searing acid, carefully speeding up until closing at a healthy sprint. @akua_dj Read more at https://ra.co/podcast/878

City scenes is our weekly Thursday feature in which we dive head first into the music scene of a particular city. We're going through the alphabet from A-Z. Last week for C we looked at Chicago and this we're driving 4 and half hours down the road into Michigan and we're looking at Detroit. Detroit is a city of 4,5 million people in the midwestern state of Michigan, USA. It's a city with a huge industrial history and a massive musical legacy. Known as the motor city due to the High concentration of car factories in the city that attracted thousands of people searching for work in the great migration that we heard about last week. Detroit is famous for the sounds of Mo-town, Rock Music, Hip Hop and Techno and today we're going to be taking a glimpse at all of these sounds. Before any of these genres or scenes existed, Detroit had a huge history of Gospel, Jazz and Blues music, and no doubt that all those sounds informed what came later in the city, but the sound that immortalized Detroit as a legendary musical city is the sound of Motown. Motown records is one of the most significant record labels in the history of American R&B and soul music. It takes it's name from Detroit's nickname of the motor city and it was founded in the 1950s by a motor factory worker called Berry Gordy. Motown went on to become home to some of the biggest names in Soul Music such as Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross & The Supremes, The Four Tops, Martha Reeves & the Vandellas and The Jackson 5. Detroit also has a huge legacy of rock music and one band from Detroit that are often cited as being one of the most important rock bands in history, named after their home town, is the Motor City 5 or MC5, a band who spent years playing relentlessly in every venue around Detroit before they ended up getting a record Deal. They were known for their pro-civil rights and anti-establishment politics and heavy rock sound that went on to inspire bands like the Sex Pistols and the clash to create what went on to become punk music. The genre that Detroit is perhaps most exclusively credited with being the birthplace of is Detroit Techno. By the mid 1980s, the car industry that had seen Detroit thriving in the 1960s had already been in Decline for some time. The deindustrialization of the city, with factories closing down led to a phenomenon called “white flight” with the city's white middle class leaving Detroit and taking a lot of the city's wealth with them. The Population dropped to around 800,000 people and the city was full of abandoned houses, factories and warehouses. This harsh environment however served as the inspiration for what became one of the biggest subcultures in history. Drawing on the bleak visions of a deprived city that surrounded them and inspired by a particularly legendary radio DJ called the electrifying mojo who would play early European electronic music by the likes of Kraftwerk and Giorgio Moroder as well as the funk sound of bands like parliament and the B52s, and the newly emerging electro hip hop sounds of the likes of Afrika Bambaataa, young producers like juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson, Eddie Folkes and Derrick May transformed the mechanic, industrial and machine driven history of their city into music that was made with machines like drum machines and synthesizers based on repetition and groove. This was the sound of Techno. An early precursor to the sound of techno that bridged the gap between the sounds that the electrifying mojo was playing on the radio and what became techno was the music of a duo called Cybotron. Detroit Techno went on to be developed and refined to it's rhythmic essence by legendary producers like Jeff Mills and Underground Resistance. In this City Scene we heard Motown, rock and techno but Detroit is the birthplace of so many other famous artists and sounds including Madonna, Eminem, Sufjan Stevens, Aaliyah, J Dilla. Carl Craig, Drexciya, Moodyman and many more.

Today we premiere Detroit inspired techno from Berlin based duo Subradeon on Rekids. The pairing wear their heart on their sleeves when it comes to releasing music and this release is no different, as Subradeon pour their heart, soul & groove into a five track EP that represents techno at its core. Subradeon is comprised of Giuseppe Salone and Salvatore Iannotta and the duo have been releasing quality techno on some of techno's most desired and honest imprints, including; Ben Sims' Hardgroove, Deetron's Character and many more since their 2017 debut on Motech. Now returning with a heavy five-tracker on Rekids Special Projects, the duo deliver a release that takes influence from the genre's history in the Motor City while simultaneously looking forward. Techno producers and DJ's first and foremost, Subradeon find soul at the heart of their work, be it via their productions or in their consistently evolving DJ sets, where the duo's strong bond and years of collaboration make for an enigmatic mix of layered techno, house, acapellas and samples mixed live, often using the classic six-turntable-two-mixer setup synonymous with back to back Techno DJing. Giuseppe Salone and Salvatore Iannotta met in their mid-teens at home in Caserta, a small city just outside of Naples, and are inspired to keep the Neapolitan techno spirit alive and well. “From the city to the suburbs, we are still struggling. For those who the job only means a piece of bread. For those who still fight for fairness, kindness, and for equality of gender, race, or religion. For those who spend their energy every day to move forward, even knowing that they will always be the last.” – Subradeon. Today we premiere the final track on their five track EP on Rekids, Human Resistance. The pair channel classic Detroit style techno on this electrifying broken rhythm. Sounding very much in the vein of early Underground Resistance records, the track oozes rapturous energy and soulful spirit. Elating strings, meet encapsulating vocals and 909 power for what is pinnacle classic techno.

Today we premiere some jazz soaked house from Jon Dixon, with vocals from Detroits own Kenny Watson. Glistening soulful house music never goes out of fashion, and Jon Dixon latest EP on 4EVR 4WRD captures jazz submerged house at its purest. Jon Dixon's latest EP, Vocal Sessions Vol.1 is comprised of two original deep house jams featuring Detroit vocalists L'Renee and Kenny Watson, as well as a remix by Jimpster and an edit by Jon under his MinorInvention alias. Released on vinyl as well as digital on September 9th, the digital version will include the Brixton Remix as a bonus track. Jon Dixon is one of the city's most sought-after musicians for every genre ranging from jazz to techno. He believes that the more versatile and open minded you are at your craft, the further it will take you. In 2015 he started an independent label, 4EVR 4WRD (Forever Forward) to focus on making electronic music fused with elements of jazz, hip hop and other styles of music. Jon has had the opportunity to not only lead the Underground Resistance live acts Galaxy 2 Galaxy and Timeline, but has also performed with Interstellar Fugitives, Amp Fiddler, Jeff Mills, Mike Banks, Francesco Tristano, Carl Craig, Goldie and more. “I feel that it is important for me as a musician to not only continue the rich culture and history of both jazz and electronic music but to also use my knowledge, theory and experience to combine the two and take both genres to the next level!” Dixon's and Kenny Watson's collaboration is coruscating deep house in its slickest and purest form. Deep and winding bass lays the foundation for sparkling jazz influenced strings and diminished grooves. Watson's vocals are deep, eloquent and profoundly Detroit. This is irresistible house music, for purist's, novices and those who simply appreciate good music.

This set was recorded during the rise and fall of empires on Saturday the 11th of June. During this day Amsterdams Most Wanted had its very first art exposition. The artist was Abdul Qadim Haqq the writer of the book of Drexciya vol. 1 & 2. It's one of the greatest art projects where they synthesized a rich Afrocentric aquatic world to accompany their precise theory in the techno lexicon Haqq has provided art for many techno acts, including the Belleville Three, Jeff Mills, Underground Resistance, and Carl Craig to name a few. His art is the de facto visual aesthetic for the period in which the original Detroit techno/electro sound came into glorious form. It was sunny, the vibe and energy were as they should be and the mixture of attendees was in balance. Sous Dubois and Oliver Kucera played a b2b set where they blended a mixture of electro and techno Oliver is capable of creating more different styles within the wide variety of music, moving from deep Minimal to Breakbeat to Club to pounding techno. Sous his diversity is characterized by a blend of breakbeats, electro, tribal, rave, hypnotic, and trippy sounds that complement his overall techno sound. This set is raw and has no boundaries or rules, it contains energy shifts, it's mechanical, and going with the flow is what this set is about. Buckle up and enjoy the ride!

Last weekend was Detroit's legendary electronic music festival, Movement.  Jeff Mills – affectionately known as The Wizard – is one of the originators of techno music. He's graced the airwaves of WJLB and WDET and co-founded the prolific group, Underground Resistance. Today, he talks all things techno and about latest album, Mind Power Mind Control.

Le collectif Musicologie se propose dans cette émission de raconter l'histoire peu ordinaire d'un homme méconnu du grand public, alors qu'il a apposé sa signature sur tous les classiques de la techno de Detroit de 1989 à 2008. Ron Murphy est à la techno un peu ce que Stradivarius a été aux violonistes : un artisan, un façonneur de son. Véritable incarnation du passage de la Motown à Underground Resistance, cet ingénieur du son a également été un guide pour les producteurs, et un modèle de stimulation dont les innovations se perçoivent toujours de nos jours dans la gravure des vinyles de musiques électroniques indépendantes.

Techno Rebels: 30 Years of Juice Records with Damien Donato.Hailed the world over and given kudos from such luminaries as Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin and Mike Banks of Underground Resistance, Juice Records has continually pushed the sonic boundaries of techno.…and they've given me a WORLDWIDE exclusive on a new track called ‘Inifinty'Greetings Earth people. I'm Chris Bass a music producer and renowned Spaceologist and in this special episode I talk with Techno Artist and Label Chief, DMZ aka Damien Donato.Whilst Juice Records is renowned for launching the career of international DJ superstar HMC (who later became the Late Nite Tuff Guy),its catalog runs deep and they are still actively releasing new music.Launched as an underground techno label in the early 90's, Juice typified the lofty ambitions of the techno generation in both sound and deed, using the vinyl record as its medium.This is the story of a Techno Rebel who put the sound of his city - the city of Adelaide -  on the world stage and in doing so, brought tangible credibility to Australian Techno music.Damien runs downEarly days of the Techno scene in AdelaideThe influence of the music from the U.S., U.K and EuropeHis dealings with Richie Hawtin and Jeff Mills and his love of Detroit techno and Underground Resistance.Building a team with Thee, Paddee, HMC and DCEBalancing label business with creative workFax machines, DATs and Studio GearA blow by blow of the entire Juice vinyl record catalogWhether you're a music lover, space-fanatic, musician or producer or just need a new creative perspective blast off with me on a fantastic journey as we explore the musical universe of artists who sonically evoke Outer Space and Sci-Fi Futurism in popular music with SOUND.Special Thanks to:The entire Juice artist team: Damez, Thee, Paddee, HMC, John Gray and Antony Coppens - for the great music.Liz Copeland, Clark Warner of 101.9 Detroit Public Radio, for the Mike Banks clips.Dave Barnett for sound bites of Mike Banks and Richie Hawtin - check out Frequency Response TV -  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtgWKhSA0iCsC3gQT3hyhqgStilgherrian - https://stilgherrian.com/Georgie Knight of Dreaming Daisies - check out a 1992 show upload by code618 - https://soundcloud.com/code618/dreaming-daisies-may-1992Damien DonatoExtra special thanks to Damien and Antony for the exclusive track.Underground Resistance: http://undergroundresistance.com/JUICE020 - Antony Coppens 2021 release: https://juicerecords-australia.bandcamp.com/album/antony-coppens“ It goes beyond the drum machine and synthesiser sounds the label would be known for and embraces a wider spectrum with use of a Yamaha baby grand, Fender Rhodes, Washburn bass and Yamaha Electone E-75. It is a clear example of what Adelaide happenings have been missed by the global industry while it plays with a techno formula that goes beyond our underground imaginings.”Episode Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17978674807470117/

This is the Burning Ambulance podcast's sixth year, and our seventieth episode, so I decided it was time to change things up a little. This season, we're going to have a single subject we're going to be exploring through all ten episodes that I'm going to be presenting, and that theme is fusion.Fusion is a very charged term. When most people hear it, in reference to music, anyway, they probably think of bands from the 1970s like the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever, and Weather Report: groups formed by ex-members of Miles Davis's band that combined a certain freedom to improvise with extremely complex compositions that were closer to progressive rock than to jazz. I mean, when you listen to the first two Mahavishnu Orchestra albums, The Inner Mounting Flame and Birds of Fire, side by side with King Crimson's Larks' Tongues in Aspic and Starless and Bible Black, they really fit together quite well. I mean, they're even using the same instrumental palette: guitar, violin, keyboards, bass, drums. The only real difference is that King Crimson had a singer.What interests me about fusion, the term and the concept, is that it lives up to something saxophonist Wayne Shorter, one of the co-founders of Weather Report, has said many times — that to him, the word jazz means “I dare you”. I dare you to play as loud as the rock bands. I dare you to embrace funk and multi-part suites and the most advanced studio production techniques available. I dare you to go big, to be ambitious. Because that's what the best fusion of the 1970s was, and what modern-day fusion is. It's ambitious. It doesn't recognize externally imposed limitations, people saying “you can't do that”. Why not? Why can't you? It refuses to stay within the boundaries of genre. It's not jazz, it's not rock, because there's no such thing as jazz and no such thing as rock. One of the things I discovered, or became more certain of, while writing my book Ugly Beauty: Jazz in the 21st Century, which is out this month from Zero Books in the UK, is that jazz is ultimately about artistic intention. There's no one instrument or rhythm or harmonic relationship that defines it, but there are two crucial values: innovation and improvisation. There must be an attempt to do something new, or to put a new spin on something old, and there must be an element of uncertainty and a real-time exchange of ideas, or in the case of solo performances, there must be an element of real-time thinking and spontaneous creation. Because it's absolutely possible to play something that startles or surprises yourself, and then respond to it.So fusion is about taking ideas from seemingly disparate genres and combining them. And taking the philosophies that govern those seemingly disparate genres and figuring out what they have in common. That's what the Seventies artists did, and that's what modern-day fusion acts are doing. I would include people like Thundercat, Cameron Graves, Christian Scott and even Kassa Overall, who's been on this podcast before, in that category. And that's what we're going to be talking about all year long on this podcast, through interviews with prominent fusion artists of the past and present.Many people may not think of Jeff Mills as a fusion artist. He's normally thought of as one of the most important musicians in techno history. I'm not gonna run down his discography here, that's what Wikipedia's for, but suffice it to say that his influence in the 1990s was massive, but what makes him interesting to me is that he's taken the creative space his fame has brought him and used it to really expand his own sonic parameters. He's made an album with a full orchestra. He's created new scores for silent films. He's made albums inspired by astronomy, science fiction, and his interest in the supernatural. And he's collaborated with musicians who are geniuses in their own fields. In 2018, he made an album called Tomorrow Comes the Harvest with legendary Afrobeat drummer Tony Allen. And that project led to the first of the three albums he put out in 2021. It's called Counter Active, and it's a collaboration with keyboardist Jean-Philippe Dary under the name The Paradox.The second album he released this year was called The Clairvoyant, and it's about two hours long — if you buy it on vinyl, it's three LPs, and he says that the best way to experience it is to lie back in the dark and listen to the whole thing from beginning to end. It arises out of his interest in spiritualism at the beginning of the 20th century and his perception of the similarities and connections between that era and now. That's one of the topics we discuss in the interview you're about to hear, in fact. And I have to admit I was surprised by how willing, even eager, he was to discuss social issues. A lot of electronic music is deliberately anonymous, deliberately emotionally blank — it's a canvas on which you can paint your own feelings. But it also reflects broader social conditions, as any art produced by human beings inevitably must. Detroit techno represented the frustration and anger, as well as the hopes and dreams, of the citizens of that city, and Underground Resistance, a collective Mills formed with Mike Banks and Robert Hood, was explicitly political, taking on social conditions in their city and the overall politics of the music industry.The third album Jeff Mills put out in 2021 was The Override Switch, a collaboration with Rafael Leafar, who plays a number of instruments on the record, including tenor, alto, soprano and baritone saxophones, clarinet, bass clarinet, contra-alto clarinet, flute, cornet, and a wide range of keyboards. The music they make together is fusion in the purest and most genuine sense: the rhythmic steadiness of electronic music combined with the melodic and harmonic adventurousness of jazz. The individual pieces, and the album as a whole, take the listener on a real journey. And frankly, on a purely sonic level, I find it easy to draw lines between this and the music that people like Stanley Clarke and George Duke were making in the 1970s.Anyway, I feel extremely lucky to have gotten the chance to talk to Jeff Mills for an hour. He's an incredibly busy guy, so tracking him down was a challenge, and the day we were initially scheduled to talk, he had to run from Paris to London, so we moved it, and then when I did catch him, I thought he was still in Paris but it turned out he had returned to London, which meant I was calling him an hour later than expected. Still, it was a fascinating conversation that went in some really unexpected directions. I hope you enjoy listening to it.Music featured in this episode:The Paradox, "Super Solid" (Counter Active)Jeff Mills, "Someone Who Feels Things" (The Clairvoyant)Jeff Mills & Rafael Leafar, "The Sun King" (The Override Switch)

I hope you enjoy listening to it.Music featured in this episode:The Paradox, "Super Solid" (Counter Active)Jeff Mills, "Someone Who Feels Things" (The Clairvoyant)Jeff Mills & Rafael Leafar, "The Sun King" (The Override Switch)

Rolando Ray Rocha - @rolando000 grew up in south west Detroit, a Hispanic district, he was heavily influenced by his cultural Latin rhythms and percussion. Inspired from an early age by his musician father, he pursued his own interest in music and became well known and respected within the community. It was later when he heard @axis-jeff-mills in 1985 as "The Wizard" that he discovered the innovative sounds of Techno. Through a mutual friend he was introduced to Mike Banks and joined Underground Resistance in 1994. In 1999 'Jaguar' although not Rolando's first release on UR turned perceptions of Techno on their head, breaking into other genres of dance music and becoming a classic in the boxes of DJs such as @danny-tenaglia-officia, @carl-cox, @pauloakenfold, and @gillespeterson. The track has a long legacy of reworking and lives on fifteen years later inspiring audiences from all genres. As of November 2004, Rolando left both Underground Resistance and his Los Hermanos project behind. 2014 Rolando has launched his own label R3 (Roland Rocha Records) and will exclusively release his own music on his label. Rolando now a Dj for almost thirty years continues to work internationally as a Dj and continues to hold a residency at the notorious and enigmatic Berlin club Berghain. Stay Rave with #R13!

Fenriz er for tiden aktuell med nytt Isengard-album og podkasten "Radio Fenriz på norsk". Men når han først stakk innom Jernverket kunne vi ikke bare snakke om hva han følte da han fant de antatt tapte Isengard-opptakene. Fenriz forteller nemlig også hva en gjør når en har hørt for mye musikk, hvordan det var å bo hos Nihilist for 30 år siden, betviler antall Deathcrush-versjoner på en Mayhem-kassett, gir oss oppskriften på hvordan en skal forstå første Bathory-plata, deler sin interesse for La Liga, Vazelina Bilopphøggers, Franzl Lang og B-52's, legger ut om mulige sammenhenger mellom Blaze Bayley og "A Blaze in the Northern Sky" samt det å være et offer for musikkvideoer sett via tjukk-TV. Det blir også tid til Spotify-kjærlighet, NRKs lydmann under OL i 1994 og generell motstand mot Morrisound og Sunlight Studios. Isengards "Vårjevndøgn" kommer ut på Peaceville Records 2. oktober. Du kan høre podkasten Fenriz lager for Tons of Rock, "Radio Fenriz på norsk", via Spotify eller andre podkastapper. Hør Fenriz' spilleliste ved å følge Jernverket på Spotify.

Zapp - More Bounce to the Ounce Autopsy - In the Grip of Winter The B-52's - She Brakes for Rainbows Repulsion - Black Breath Flamin' Groovies - Shake Some Action The Soft Boys - I Wanna Destroy You Steppenwolf - The Pusher Michael Schenker Group - Desert Song Boston - Feelin' Satisfied Støtt Jernverket økonomisk via Patreon eller Vipps-nummer 567438. Det er også hyggelig om du legger igjen en anmeldelse der du lytter. NB! Jernverket har byttet publiseringsplattform. Det vil sannsynligvis føre til en del døde lenker i episodebeskrivelsene. Jeg jobber med å få ordnet dette, men si gjerne fra dersom du oppdager noe "rart".

Roll up roll up, thou art about to enter the murky depths of the underground. Unit Moebius was once described as as Europe's only true answer to Underground Resistance - a bold claim but not one so far from the truth. The Hague has played a key sound in developing a weighty catalogue of producers and rogue agents whom have released music not for fame, profit or promise but for the sheer brass neck of it and the love. Ferenc E. van der Sluijs, Guy Tavares, Jan Duivenvoorden, Menno Van Os, Richard Van Den Bogaert were the founding fathers of the project but in the present day Jan Duivenvoorden is the sole entity behind the beast. This weekend we will be joined by Unit Moebius in The Hague for the launch party of The Crave festival in what is set to be a celebration of the West Coast sound. We are delighted to host an exclusive live set recorded at The Crave ADE special in OT301.

If Detroit was a sound, what would that sound be? Although some would say Motown, others say that sound would be Techno music. In this episode of The Detroit History Podcast we explain the birth of Techno in the 1980s, why its popular around the world -- particularly Berlin... and why it's as relevant now as it was when it came to the world's attention three decades ago. We also talk about how three guys from Belleville started this musical revolution. Music by Cybotron, Inner City, Global Logic, and Underground Resistance.

Residing in Lisbon, Violet is the moniker of Inês Coutinho. In recent years the city has undergone a cultural evolution if you will as musicians and new talent rise from the undergrowth of Portugal's capital. Radio Quantica is one such aspect of this evolution, a local music station which was founded by Inês Coutinho and Marco Rodrigues in November of last year. In a short space of time the radio station has formed itself as a hub for a blossoming electronic community full of promise and aspiration. Inês Coutinho has been absolutely essential in the formation of such a platform, however, this has not prevented her from pursuing her own musical ventures. In recent years she has released music for the likes of Comeme and Snuff Trax. Her interests also see her play an important role in the push for gender equality within music, a keenly political character she also featured on a remake of Underground Resistance's widely loved "Transition" in honour of International Women's Day. Violet is an artist we can get on board with,

Romania isn't entirely the type of place you might associate with techno. However, for many years Andrew Red Hand has been responsible for pioneering the dark arts in the country. Since 2009 he has released on labels such as MOS, Land of Dance and more. Aaron carl notoriously called him 'the romanian Underground Resistance himself'', and living up to this name Andrew has delivered several mixes as part of the UR series. We caught up with him to talk cliches and the inspiration behind his name... https://soundcloud.com/andrewredhand https://facebook.com/andrewredhand
