Pretty happy how this one turned out. A bunch of styles I am digging! Some old rave and acid numbers, old and new electro from The Exaltics, Boska, Move D, Metope & CEM3340 (with a sneak peek of a forthcoming release by Ouxh via Lou Karsh / LKR RECORDS next month).
Please check it out if you have an hour spare, you can also find more episodes via the Quality Electronics facebook group
Another guest mix I am pretty happy with, Electro and EBM vibes for OSC KINS's Shubzin show on Vandelay Radio in the UK. Thanks for asking me to put something together, I had loads of fun.
You can listen to the show archive below with me in the mix for the first hour and OSC KINS for the 2nd hour. of the show. If you are in London and would like to hear more of these sort of vibes keep an eye out for his Subsidise Ldnwww.facebook.com/subsidiseldn/ gigs also.
I've been listening to the Analogue Interface Radio show broadcast on 89.7 in Perth via the show archives on soundcloud for a little while now.
When they asked me to put together something for episode 60 I decided to focus on some more abstract tracks and a few electro artists that I think deserve a bit more attention with the great music they are releasing. You can listen to the archive of the show which was aired on Thursday. If you are looking for something fresh to listen to the show archives and artist interviews can all be found via the Analogue Interface website.

Not too long ago I came across the Hjärngymnastik mix series via a post on the discogs forums.
The concept is simple a weekly mix from the host Kiskelfacit and in some of the more recent episodes include guest mixes also, one hour mix of electronic music that is released prior to 1999. "There's so much good music from this part of the musical world that only got pressed on a specific cd compilation or a twelve inch release and did not get wider recognition when released. I'm trying to find as many of them as I can and will be presenting them in hour-long mixes. Some mixes will have more focused themes such as ambient techno, acid, bleep, electro, glitchy ambient, idm or detroit techno but most of them will contain tracks currently occupying my mind, regardless of style and genre."
Something I really like about the series is that so much interesting music came out and a lot of it is overlooked and can be picked up for a few dollars if you really dig to find something you like.
The original artwork that compliments each episode is unique, two brains playing various sports in his unique style. I was very excited to be asked to put something together to submit to the series. I spent a good amount of time digging through my records and included a diverse range of sounds which hopefully blends well. Some of the records I included are the first I ever purchased, alongside some that I have only picked up in the last couple of weeks. I highly recommend checking out the mixes if you are looking for something to listen to. Recent guest mixes from Erell Ranson, Derek Carr and Placid are well worth checking out along with Kiskelfacit's episode 5 which I really enjoyed.
Tracklist
I'm pretty excited to be playing alongside IV drip & Estée Louder before an epic liveset from Hieroglyphic Being on Friday night.
Come along it will be an excellent party with top shelf electronic music leaning towards the experimental side of things: Hieroglyphic Being (Live) [Ninja Tune / Warp] Drox IV drip Estée Louder Headlining the night is a live set from Hieroglyphic Being, AKA Jamal Moss, one of the relatively unsung legends of the Chicago underground who’s been instrumental in keeping the Chi-Town sound alive for decades as DJ, promoter, radio host and experimental artist; his discography includes releases on Ghostly, Ninja Tune and Jeff Mills’s Axis Mission 6277. His fierce live sound takes acid back to its Chicago roots and into the future at the same time. He’ll be supported by a trio of local heroes who will reinforce the night’s theme of bubbly acid, trippy synth experiments and hard-hitting drums: Analog Cabin co-founder and ledge Drox, IV Drip and Estée Louder (Control). It’s gonna be straight fire all night long! More event info here : Resident Advisor / Facebook Pretty excited to lay down some tunes early for this one. alongside Katia Avorodis, Simon Caldwell B2B Kato and Phax Machine (LIVE).

Review from DJ Mag
VARIOUS 'System Updates' Datadisk / Southern Outpost 8.0 'System Updates' is a clutch of two-minute tracks designed for DJs to add layers or spice to their mixes. Made by Australian San Franciscans The Sentinel and Sol37, and Sydney’s Drox, these tracks are actually more sophisticated than the beat tools they're described as. Drox’s ‘2.1.3’ is sun-kissed electro-funk, and Sol37’s ‘2.2.5’ with its eight-bit blurts and four-four beats, is firing. These are strong, though short tracks in their own right. Pick up the release here https://southernoutpost.bandcamp.com/album/system-updates-ep Pretty excited for this one. Everyone is digging deep and Analogue Resistance
has a brand new live set at the ready, it's a launch for Albert Chiovenda's new EP with support from myself, Colour and James Walsh https://www.facebook.com/events/1949655318464273/ Nightime Drama's first compilation 'Southern Series' showcases music from both established and new Australian artists. Mixing up the deeper side of dub, electro and techno, the compilation features eight expressive, forward thinking tracks that are designed for intimate dance floors. Artists included are the likes of Analog Cabin and Crobot Muzik associate Drox, Sydney mainstay and dub meister Oscar.Mike, one half of the Adelaide's One & One duo Featherstone, Adelaide veteran Metamethod, prolific Adelaide producer and member of the Juice records family Antony Coppens, Sydney based live act Simon Mann, plus up and coming producers Jet Black and Microlot. I'm grateful for being asked to contribute a track to the Nightime Drama : Southern Series compilation which is up for preorders now.
World class effort from everyone involved. Solid tracks from Jet Black, Simon Mann Music, Microlot, Oscar.Mike, Metamethod, Featherstone, Anthony Coppens & one from myself. https://nightimedrama.bandcamp.com/album/southern-series-001
I put together a mix for a new podcast series by the fine folks at Rhapsody.
You can catch me playing this Saturday night at a low key Postal Events warehouse jam. See you on the floor! Wow what a night, had the opportunity to close the Nightime Drama free party at Tokyo Sing Song last night.
Thanks to all the dancers that stayed till the very end for the duration of my closing set. Solid music all round, from the perfect warm up from Simon Mann & Jet Black to the ever evolving Live set from Phax Machine and Kate Doherty's always solid DJ set. Good times! Looking forward to more NTD in the future. If you haven't yet please do check out the label and podcast series.
It is great to get out of the city from time to time and last years Trench party was so much fun I am honoured to be asked to play again.
TRENCH is held on a private property in a pristine forest in the Southern Highlands, near Bungonia National Park NSW. It is well worth making the effort to go and enjoy the wilderness with like minded people enjoying some deep techno and experimental sounds for the whole weekend with a solid lineup of some of Sydneys best DJ's Check out the last Trench podcast / radio show from Drox (1st 1/2) & Jansen Brown ahead of the party. Not long now. I am very excited to be playing in the Electro room next weekend at Nightime Drama's Electro x Techno party with Cristian Vance Live.. Nightime Drama have already been pretty busy this year with Luke Hess headlining our event at the Sly Fox and of course the new release from Trinity & Steven Tang who's ‘Adrifting Voyage’ EP has been rinsed globally by everyone from Fred P to Steffi. I am really excited to play alongside such a solid group of diverse DJ's, if your in Sydney do try and make it along, the venue will be boosted with extra sound in both rooms along with some excellent live acts (Trinity, Analogue Resistance & Simon Mann) putting together new material just for this gig.. I have no doubt that Dave Stewart, Oscar Mike, Kato, Lazy Susan & Katia Avorodis will be bring their A game as well.
See you on the floor! Facebook Event | Tickets from Resident Advisor
Dalekovod (power lines) – series of electro music compilations released on Crobot Muzik (1st Croatian electro label) formed by DJ Xed and N-ter, founders of Crobot Crew.
I contributed a track to the epic 74 Track release to raise money for fellow electro producer Phil Duple of Greystates who is feeling much better after some more of the much needed treatments. A real community of like minded people coming together to selflessly help another is a wonderful thing.
The 4th release on the Analog Cabin Label is out today from Adrian Burns / Drox under a new alias which brings a modern twist to retro - future Electro and Techno vibes on this new EP.
With some great feedback so far "Super genuine electro sounds and authentic old school vibes meet futuristic robot language. Great stuff!!"
