Interview

First I wanted to say, thanks for putting together this mix for Recreational Therapy.
No problem Adrian, you’ll see what I mean by no problem shortly haha.

What was the inspiration for this mix?
Well, I tried to approach it a few different ways and actually recorded about 6 different edits of the mix I was planning to send to you. But decided to completely scrap that plan and the one I’ve settled on, I actually recorded a couple of years ago! The idea behind it was to stay on the dance floor but keep a consistent linear build in tempo throughout. Sort of a warm up into a peak hands in the air/ eyes closed good time.

What has been influential for you musically in the past, and also more recently? 
I think my main influences are always my mates and the greater Sydney scene in general. Also, a lot of the UK sounds  have always heavily influenced me, which reflects in the records I buy and what I’m playing regularly.

Tell us a little bit about putting on under the radar events in Sydney.
Well, the bump out is always worse than the bump in haha.
Honestly we’ve been really lucky with our success rates. We’ve only had 2 gigs shut down by police, but that’s always the risk when you’re putting on  these type of events.
As far as locations go in Sydney, I’ve got a love/hate relationship. There are some great staple spots that we use (as do many other crews) but finding something new and unused is an uphill battle. The months coming up to an event we would go scouting once a week, looking for either public places that are discreet from residents and businesses or abandoned private property. The latter is higher risk and we’ve left some pretty quickly after triggering alarms.
If we’re unsuccessful then we’ll use a staple spot, but they still hold up. great atmosphere and a good familiarity with the punters.
Our ethos was always to try and make it about the event, so we never announced a line-up or set times. Just a promise that if you make it down, it is gonna be worth your while.

What are you listening to right now?
I’ve actually found since lock-down and no gigs, i’ve been re-visiting a lot of older music that I hadn’t touched in a while. 
Instra:mental, Mark Pritchard, LTJ Bukem, some old Metalheadz, Cooly G, Special Request, Falty DL, some Jose Gonzalez and a load of true crime podcasts.

Who or what is inspiring you musically and otherwise?
My mate just introduced me to an artist called “Bluetoof”. Really really fantastic breakbeat/ rave sound which is what I’ve been all about for a while now. But pretty much any artist pushing that sound at the moment, I’m deep down that rabbit hole.
​
Where can we see or hear your next project? Any upcoming releases or gigs? 
So we’ve got our monthly mix series on Soundcloud. Danceportal series under Energy Workshop (that you so graciously contributed to). We’ve got a new one that will be published very soon and every month following! Same as the events, we publish without the artist name to give the listeners an unbiased listening experience. Then publish the artist name at a later date.
As far as events ago, we’ve got nothing on the horizon yet, bit hard to negotiate this climate or try and guess when it would be safe. So holding off until we know it’s safe for everyone to attend.

Anything else you would like to share?
Lots of good music around, buy some x

Interview

First I wanted to say, thanks for putting together this mix for Recreational Therapy.
Thanks for having me Adrian

What was the inspiration for this mix?
It consists of some records that I have wanted to put into a mix for years and some that I just picked up recently. I decided that I would like to record something more club-focused because it has been a while since I recorded a mix like that.

What has been influential for you musically in the past, and also more recently? What are you listening to right now?
In the past, there are too many things for me to name, but I guess one thing I always stand by is where you buy your records from will have a big impact on you, I encourage everyone to support physical record stores and not just buy online. When I was living in Berlin I was hardly buying records from Discogs and was visiting different record stores/flea markets every week and I learned so much, the store I was frequenting the most was Sound Metaphors, being influenced from them I started buying more records just for home listening and interesting things from all over the world, lots of reissue labels and stuff like that. It was interesting for me because I was going out to clubs so much and listening to so much club-related music, but my personal progression was more on a chill-out home listening worldly vibe haha. I was also buying dance records too of course but it wasn’t my main focus like it was in my early 20’s.

More recently I get inspired by local DJs and artists here in Sydney. My friends Jonathan and Tim put on a little outdoor party not long ago, watching those guys DJ was inspiring, they’ve got great records and a really nice sound. I think there’s a lot of really talented people here in Sydney. I hope when venues reopen there will be more opportunities for locals. I have also recently been getting in the studio with my mate Faz, he’s very talented and I definitely get inspiration from him.

At the moment I’m listening to a lot of different things as always, there’s never just one style for me, I listen to and collect a lot of dub and reggae also in the past couple of years I have been getting really into IDM. I have been collecting compact discs too, collecting CDs from labels like em:t, City Centre Offices, Fax, etc.

Who or what is inspiring you musically and otherwise?
I’m really inspired by the ambient techno sound from the 90s, looking at artists such as Pete Namlook, Deep Space Network, Biosphere, Speedy J and The Future Sound Of London to name only a few. When it comes to the music I produce under the name DTE (Down To Earth) I’m very influenced by this sound, in my little studio I have a JV-2080 which a digital synth from the mid-90s, I have it running into a Boss SE-70 Super Effects Processor and I play it on the MPC, I feel it helps give my songs some of that 90s ambient flavour.

Earlier this year I started working at Something Else record store, it’s a great little shop with a community around it. There are so many good new releases coming out I can’t keep up with it all, I have found myself getting into labels that were previously on my radar but somehow, I never really looked deeply into them, labels such as Delsin, Spazio Disponibile, and A Strangely Isolated Place. Everyone who works at Something Else is super lovely and very talented in their own way, so it’s a very inspiring place to be.

Where can we see or hear your next project?
Recently my friend Bec and I have started to DJ together, we are recording something soon for a friend’s online label in Berlin. We are calling ourselves Neocortex; we play more left-field styles of electronic music think Salon Des Amateurs.

Any upcoming releases or gigs?
Nothing at the moment but as I said before I’m hoping there will be more opportunities for local DJs to play once venues open again. I would love to play out more often as I have so much great music to share! I have ideas and plans to start my own record label where I would release my own music and music for my friends, starting a record label has been a pipe dream for me since I started collecting as a 16-year-old.

Anything else you would like to share?
Love yourself

​For the nineteenth episode we welcome Sixteen Faces a fairly new project from a good friend who I met while living in London. This project along with the mix draws inspiration from different sonic palettes of sound focusing on moods and textures rather than conforming to a linear BPM or genre encompassing sound art, organic percussion, snippets of film soundtrack outstanding synth workouts and more ambient elements.

This is listening music and encourages your attention, I encourage you to zone out even just for a little while. This mix feels fitting for the current times we are all experiencing, stay safe everyone.

Interview

​First I wanted to say, thanks for putting together this mix for Recreational Therapy. Can you tell us a little bit about this new project of yours, The Sixteen Faces of Being?
Your very welcome it was great fun to make! Of course, so yes its “The Sixteen Faces of Being” or Sixteen Faces for short.
At it’s core Sixteen Faces is about exploring the many faces of the human condition through music. My aim is to share and make music that invigorates the soul and psyche in a unique way. I want to look into both the dark and the light, the beautiful and ugly parts of what it means to be human to be inspired and reflect that back in a sonic realm, or at least an interpretation of that. 

So your based in Berlin at the moment right?  How does that compare to your time living in London or in Australia?
Oh thats a big question hey! How long do you have until I start to ramble and lose your readers ha!? 

I mean Berlin is exactly where I want to be right now to be honest in terms of music and life, it’s such an exciting place to be creatively theres an amazingly positive attitude here towards enjoying life and self development on your own terms. Whether that’s studying purely for interest or creative collaborations or exercising your passions without judgements its great for all of these. 

There’s a huge respect for electronic music here and more left of field scenes in music and the arts in general, its always super inspiring when you stumble across hidden artists or venues you didn’t think were even possible. I still feel like I’ve only just touched the surface of the huge community of electronic and of course techno artists here, so plenty of digging for me still to do.

London on the other hand feels to me a bit more musically diverse but also maybe a bit less willing to take risks in some ways, which has its pluses and minuses. I’ll always love London for the breadth of people, backgrounds and influence you get there.  It really shaped and broadened my tastes and helped me understand uk’s ever changing electronic landscape as well appreciate the amazing history of the city which lives within its second hand record stores. I really appreciate the scenes attention to sound and how DJs will fearlessly meld together world music, classics and modern electronic jams in a way that makes so much sense. Getting to experience Intimate venues like Plastic People, Dance Tunnel or even Brilliant Corners has been life changing in my musical education. 

Australia, can in someways feel like a blurry memory since I haven’t lived there in about 12 years, but I have had some amazing times when I’ve been back. Garbage TV do this great Christmas Eve warehouse party every year in Perth which has always been a nice treat to go to, I get to see everyone else who moved away from Perth back to see their families at the same time its quite a surreal high school reunion like experience. Also seeing how promoters and punters in Sydney still manage to do these small pop up raves in the middle of no where in tiny alleys to evade the lockout laws is super cool, I really respect that passion and determination to find a way to share music with people under pressure.

Australia is also where I grew up and where most of my family still live so I’m always going to have love for the place and of course you can’t beat the nature out there too. So for the moment I’m going to have to settle on Schlachtensee lake for my summertime nature quota, but I’m not too bummed about to be honest!

What was the inspiration for this mix?
So recently I’ve been composing the music for a short film thats being put out by Japanese fashion brand Beaugan. I can’t really share too much but I can tell you the film revolves around a story of a man dealing with his past and trauma. I really wanted to continue exploring this idea after speaking in depth with the director of the film Petter Jensen about the main character he created. I tried to use that as a starting point to explore working through feelings invoked by trauma and also to delve into the palette of music that influenced me when writing that soundtrack. Hopefully the ups and downs of the mix help the listener explore something new. 

What are you listening to right now?
Really recently I’ve been discovering a lot of music from film soundtracks, Daniel Lopatin’s soundtrack to Uncut Gems is phenomenal, also the soundtrack to Under the Skin by Mica Levi is beautiful and haunting. I stumbled across Father Yod kind of recently too after watching the Source Family Documentary, he has some crazy psyched out recordings which I really love the energy of.

Here From Where We Are by Pariah has also been great LP to help me ease into the day and also the live recording of Four Tet’s  gig with Alexandra Palace in 2019, I’m super gutted I missed out on tickets to that so I guess I rinse it now to make up for it.   

Who or what is inspiring you musically and otherwise?
I think I draw a lot from my surroundings whether it be a venue I really like or the people I’m spending the most time with. I do have my favourite digital platforms I like to check in with from time to time like Boomkat, Bleep or NTS Radio but I also love to sharing new musical experiences through friendships, my friends are always teaching me amazing new things both in writing music and discovering new artists.  

Much love to BobbyTank, Alex from 2 Pisceans, Camilo Toston from RhumbaClub, yourself of course and my mate Dirk the tech fiend for inspiring me on the regular!''''

Other artists I’m feeling really inspired by right now are people like, Ben Frost, Birds of Prey, Lotic and Floating Points particularly his live modular sets and the collaboration he did the the KDV dance ensemble that was incredibly inspiring and moving.

Where can we see or hear your next project? 
So the soundtrack and video collaboration with Beaugan should be out online in the next couple of months, touch wood with the world on hold we should still be doing some screenings and live shows for this in Berlin, London and maybe Tokyo. I’m also hoping to have an EP out with some more new music before the end of the year, so keep an ear to my soundcloud for updates on that.

Anything else to share?
Its a been a absolute pleasure man, can’t believe its been over 10 years since we met in London and glad we’ve had the chance to inspire each other along the way!

Interview

​First I wanted to say, thanks for putting together this mix for Recreational Therapy.
Hi Adrian, big cheers for having me on the show.

What was the inspiration for this mix?
With most of the music from Detroit it takes such minimal inspiration to get into a jam…. all i need is to do is drop the needle on any ghetto / booty / electro / juke or footwork tune and straight away i want to mix one in, and another and another… and then have a little dance around in my living room….

What has been influential for you musically in the past, and also more recently?
My number one influence will always be Underground Resistance, who has shaped my life, filled my heart and set the highest standard of music and ethos for me and many others who are part of the resistance. Respect always.

What are you listening to right now?
TripHop Vibes double LP Volume 1 (Wagram Records). Some real gems inside.
Who or what is inspiring you musically and otherwise?
I have been buying every single release local Jungle producer Ben LQ of Echo Chamber Sound has been releasing, Amazing 10” dubplates with Steppa Dub on 1 side and massive jungle Subs in the other. I’m also picking up as much Sully, Tim Reaper and Specialist X (J:Kenzo), Sinistarr, Erik Travis and Di’Jital I can get my hands on.

Where can we see or hear your next project? Any upcoming releases or gigs?
March 20 - myself and my All Junglists crew are putting on a night hosting DJ Stretch of AKO / Reinforced UK at Woodys in Collingwood:

Anything else you would like to share?
Bless up and thanks Adrian, and everyone else for your love and energy. Its been an incredible 23 years so far.
Long live the underground.

 Interview
First, I wanted to say, thanks for putting together this mix for Recreational Therapy.
My pleasure! Thanks for having me

What was the inspiration for this mix?
You had said that you encourage guests to dig deeper into their collection. I really liked the idea and tried to play some more “home listening” music instead of dance floor bangers. I hesitated between this and a mix of Post-Punk, Cold Wave & early EBM, but i decided to go with this one.

What has been influential for you musically in the past, and also more recently? 
Well, first of all, my parents played a huge role in educating me musically. I grew up listening to artists like Manu Chao, Vangelis, Moby, Duran Duran & Metallica when I was like five or six years old, to name a few. They opened a huge spectrum of music in front of me, from all over the world, literally.
More recently, I guess moving to Paris has really helped my ear evolve and my taste develop, because of the extremely wide range of music in the Parisian scene, that is. So yeah, partying has been really influential to me over the years to be honest; every weekend you get to discover new artists, hear new music, meet new people with their own musical knowledge…

What are you listening to right now?
I think it’s safe to say that I’m currently deep into Post-Punk / New Wave / Synth Wave / Cold Wave / Dark Wave / EBM, but also listening to a lot of Industrial Bass, Speed Garage, Jungle, Old-School Rave, some Classic Trance, IDM, Gabber, Grime and Classic Dubstep, as well as some World Jazz/Funk/Rock, 80s Hits, Italo Disco and of course a lot of Heavy / Death Metal. Not to mention Electro obviously… Stuff from all over really, my library’s a mess…
Right now, I’m jamming to No More Hollow Doors by Crash Course In Science

Who or what is inspiring you musically and otherwise?
All of the amazing stuff happening all over the world these days! Insanely good music is coming out at the moment from extremely talented artists. All my bass bros everywhere who are shining right now, the Typeless, Shubzin, Philthtrax, Childsplay, Brainwaves people, big ups Aloka, SAAH, Amadeezy, DJ Frankie, DJ Wachita China, Turk Turkelton, Osc Kins, False Persona, Vigile, Garneau, Speed Gonzales and so many others that are rocking it at the moment -- and especially my boys back in Cairo doing some serious damage. It truly is inspiring to see your friends making an impact and pushing the local scene forward; shouts to Hussein Marei, Mo Guindy and Karim Serry. Keep an eye out on these guys…

Where can we see or hear your next project? Any upcoming releases or gigs? 
Got a few podcasts and mixes in the oven that will be out soon, working on my debut EP that will hopefully be out later this year, and also working on a couple of gigs in Paris…
​
Anything else you would like to share?
Even though it’s impossible to listen to all the good stuff out there, never ever stop discovering new music!

What was the inspiration for this mix?
Post Man, with package full of records, usually is quite inspiring haha.
I simply enjoy DJing, it’s even better when you have so much good stuff to pick from...

What has been influential for you musically in the past, and also more recently?
Around 99/2000 I’ve heard 2 tracks which was game changing for me.
First one is: Srgt. Shadow & Private Kiss - S&K Show. which is still one of my favourite tracks..
Second is:  Dopplereffekt - Sterilization. Played by the mighty Dave Clarke. And I think DC had more influence on my music taste/style than anybody else.
It would be difficult to mention all artists, but stuff from Umwelt, Maelstrom and Assembler Code surely been outstanding for the last couple years...

What are you listening to right now?
Right now I’m listening to live set by Alavux @TresorWest. Fire!

Who or what is inspiring you musically and otherwise at the moment?
All that what happening around Electro scene lately. Can’t think of anything more inspiring and motivating.
Hopefully the growth will continue and Electro gets attention it deserves.

Where can we see or hear your next project? Any upcoming releases or gigs?

Episode fifteen in the podcast series is from Polyxene originally from Athens, now based in Vienna, where she's making waves on dance floors showcasing her diverse tastes with a mix of electro, acid and techno including elements of industrial, EBM and wave.

After hearing her Boiler Room debut earlier this year I thought she would be great to request a guest mix.
Dig into this high octane mix of fresh new releases blended alongside some overlooked older cuts from the past. It is well worth your attention and a special one as the last broadcast for the year.

How do you find the music scene in Austria compared to Greece?
Hmm, that could be a long text if I should refer to 'music' in general. I will only go through some points  as they come to my mind right now.

I have been living in Vienna for 7 years now. There were a lot of times that I thought that I've seen it all but at this point I discover every year more and more musicians which have huge talent and have something to say, more collectives and festivals are appearing.

Austria is multicultural and this contributes a lot to the music scene as well... you can see/feel the diversity. There are bars and small venues supporting any kind of band/group and if you really want to show and share your music is not so difficult to find a stage and do it. Of course that does not mean that you can make a living from it but at least getting the chance to show what you got or have fun with sharing your work is sth truly important.

I think in Greece is a bit different, if musicians and DJ’s do something the try to do it 'big' and when they are really ready. When they appear they are there to stay and it is not usual to see every year new faces. Concerning the last years many things changed in Greece due to the economical crisis. It's obvious that the big 'heads' which promote music for the masses they are getting bigger and bigger. The few small venues that remain continue their way and is amazing to see them still doing their thing and supporting the 'local heroes' :)

What has been influential for you musically in the past, and also more recently?
I guess it sounds ordinary but is true that Detroit's music and culture driven me a lot and guided me through techno-house music and not only in the past.
Recently I see myself hooked up a lot by the bass element, also back then I was into drum n' bass and dubstep etc but nowadays I absorb it in another way and somehow I discover another feeling in it.

What are you listening to right now?
Isao Tomita - Firebird Suite.

Who or what is inspiring you musically and otherwise at the moment?
I am still DJing a lot so I would say that the dancers/listeners inspire me. Dancing it was always important to me and a big factor so I think that as long as I'm surrounding by this in my life I can still receive-give and share that energy non stop..
And apart from the dancefloor - Dez Williams is inspiring me, a producer that always gives me this 'wow' feeling and makes me still being curious about electro and production, he keeps the mystery and he is doing music  in his own way it seems, which is something I admire..


What inspired your mix and where it was recorded?
One inspiration was my need to share these rough heavy bass tracks to close this year epically and adventurous as my whole year was :D
'Abacus' from Junq, the first track inspired the direction of the mix, also ILLEKTROLAB and the second last track Miami Eyes from Secret Frequency Crew, remixed soooo good by Andrea Parker. Lately I have been playing this so often and I wanted to include it. It was recorded at my home in Vienna.

Any upcoming releases or gigs?
Releases not yet but hopefully soon in the future.
Concerning gigs, looking forward to 24th January. The Viennese Funkroom Crew throw their next event at 'Das Werk' Club with a big legend (not announce yet). I am honoured to be invited as well!

Let's have an exciting 2020 my friends.. and be strong !

What has been influential for you musically in the past, and also more recently?
Well, through the 90's I was into Hip Hop to Breakbeat, Electro and Techno. First mp3's I've had on my PC it was Dave Clarke, Dj Hell, Dopplereffekt, Kraftwerk but it was always Techno/Electro for me, broken beats with that Techno edge. Nowadays really like what Assembler Code does, or Maelstrom also still every week listening to Dave Clarke's White Noise radio show, he is always on point i think.

What are you listening to right now?
​Right now listening to Derailleur - Hydraulic Performer (Radioactive Man remix) great tune

Who or what is inspiring you musically and otherwise at the moment?
I think at the moment Electro is really healthy and i really like the way it is going, especially love when artists experiment with new Ideas and sounds not just classic formula’s and it is sounding very fresh and innovative.

What inspired your mix and where it was recorded?
Well i always prefer to play vinyl but there's a lot of great music getting released digital only so I've played a mix of tunes released digitally or I can't get on vinyl. It's a bit of a different mix then what I usually play, but there's so much good Electro releases right now.

Any upcoming releases or gigs?
I am working on a collaboration EP with X-Truder this is going to be something special, also working on tune for Various Artist compilation so stay tuned.

Where can we hear more of your music?

Episode number thirteen in the podcast series is from 4NG3L4 a Brazilian DJ now based in Melbourne via Sydney where she started the Trench series of warehouse parties that expanded to include the annual Trench bush doof and also occasional club nights, south of Sydney and more recently outside of Melbourne..

This mix embraces the robotic funk and colder atmospheres of many excellent recent electro releases along with some classic tracks. I really enjoyed this mix and think that you will too.

​What has been influential for you musically in the past, and also more recently?
That's a complex little question because i think music it's in everything.

So it might be just me but i feel influenced by everything, and i mean anything which it's embedded in nature.
Any sound is music so anything goes and is valid even the most rudimental instruments to the more modern ethnic base types. I don't take for granted the amount of musical baggage we carry on our genes, and that goes as long as life on earth, music goes side by side with life,  that's what i think anyway. 

With the Industrial revolution and urban landscapes, modern instruments came in and you had industrial and electronic sounds but you always had sounds of nature etc.. Sometimes you just want to listen to the rain! 

Anyway.. I come from Brasilia, the capital of Brazil a city renowned for its modern architecture and unique arty urban planning. Not the worst place for creative types like me, a lot of good cultural phenomenons came from Brazil's new Capital, all that is very influential first.
In the past I was a resentful little kid so i was into Rock/Metal bands which i started to discover from radio and/or some from my Dad's CD's.

I was into a band called Religiāo Urbana from my Hometown (folk rock/new age) this was the first band I really fell in love with, but there was also Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Slipknot, Korn, RATM, Marilyn Manson etc, that was before i got into dance music in the late 90's : Eiffel 65 etc haha 

Fast forward 20 years :  Im still getting Influenced by many things, natural landscapes places, things.. and of course large numbers of musicians and bands i dig old and new. I’ve been digging real deep for a while now and there's just a lot of good stuff that i like. 

Can you share your inspiration for the Trench parties?
My Inspiration comes from my own struggles and i'm trying to offer something a little bit different than usual to like minded people. The times we live now are pretty rough and music has kind lost it's meaning .. Pop Music just doesn't do it for me. 

What are you listening to right now?
I just got a delivery from Lawrence English record "Cruel Optimism". Drone / Ambient ftw! 

Who or what is inspiring you musically and otherwise at the moment?
All of the bastardry happening in the world right now .. local and international scenes and politics.. Im quite aware of all of it .. someone gotta push the envelope 

What inspired your mix and where it was recorded?
It's inspired by friendship with a Electro lover and all around good guy DROX  which was kind enough to ask me for a mix so that was made specially for him.  Recorded at home in Melbourne , 

Any upcoming releases or gigs?
I have a small little gig coming up : Touch of at Loft at Club 77 in Sydney on the 13th of December and i'm likely to play a set sometime over New years at a friends private shindig near Melb.ourne.

Anything else you would like to share?
1 Hour DJ sets are an insult to the art form of DJing, it's impossible to offer any type of journey under 2-3hrs... Sadly i never played a long set at a club, except at the odd kick on.. the whole scene is broken in that sense. If you want a better party, DJs need length of set times ! :P
