I contributed a mix for the cherished Mnml Ssgs in 2012 (you can find it here) which consisted mainly of fast paced Detroit Electro tunes. The main reason was that I had never done a mix like that and Chris Hobson from the blog had not hosted one yet either. Another reason was that I was working at Hard Wax then and often overheard people in the store disrespecting the genre, mostly because they claimed the sound palette of Electro was too limited to really matter in terms of musicianship. I did not agree with that.
Anyway, we went for it and the mix became surprisingly popular. In fact it is probably the most played mix I have ever done. And I have done quite a few… More recently I purchased a lot of Electro that was equally fast paced, but with a Disco and Funk flavour. I thought it would be an interesting idea to add some tunes that did not fit the first time round, and do a sequel. Hosted within a mix series of a comparable quality, like Seaside. So here it is. I hope you like it.

In discussion with Chris Hobson on “Aaltopiiri” by Pan Sonic (2001).
Pan Sonic go quite a long way back in the history of modern electronic music, being formed in 1993. How and when did you first become aware of their music?
I didn’t start listening to electronic music until around about 1997. I was introduced to Pan Sonic in 1999 by one of my best friends. We discovered and taught ourselves electronic music together. He put me onto Pan Sonic and it immediately had a huge impact. It was only in time that I made my way through most of their back catalogue.
Why did you opt for “Aaltopiiri”? Can you describe what makes it so special for you?
I chose ‘Aaltopiiri’ precisely because it was the first Pan Sonic album I bought. I had one or two of their earlier albums on cassette or CD perhaps, but this was my real route in. In terms of music itself, it probably isn’t my favourite release of theirs, but it is the most important for me. This album was central in a kind of sonic renovation my ears and head underwent around 1999 – 2001, the effects of which I can still feel today. What Pan Sonic really taught me is what techno could be. It broadened my mental horizons in quite radical ways. Beyond ‘Aaltopiiri’ being a key moment for me in this regard, what I like about it is that personally it has the right balance of Pan Sonic’s noisier side and its more bleepy and drone sounds. Some of their later stuff has been a bit too noisy for me, here there is a pretty good weighting between the two.
Im Gespräch mit Cio D’Or über “Upekah” von Son.sine (2000).
Neuseeland ist eher nicht für elektronische Musik bekannt. Wie bist du auf Son.sine gestoßen? Kennst Du andere Produktionen von diesem Künstler?
Ich hörte ihn das erste Mal in einem Mix und verliebte mich sofort in den Track, unwissendlich, wer der Künstler ist. Danach brachte mir ein Freund einige Tracks von sich mit, sowie auch diesen. Da kein Name auf dem Wav-File war, wusste ich noch immer nicht, von wem das Stück ist. Bei meinem letzten Radiomix für Oceanclub baute ich ihn mit ein und er war das einzige unbenannte Stück. Erst Chris von mnml ssgs meinte dann „Wow…there is Son.sine’s „Upekah“ from Nurture“, und somit konnte ich ihn endlich orten. Andere Produktionen hörte ich mir noch an, die mir auch gut gefallen haben, aber „Upekah“ ist für mich nicht zu toppen. Neuseeland scheint ein guter Ort für Musikproduktionen zu sein.
Wie würdest Du diese Platte beschreiben?
Unendliche Tiefen mit einer zärtlichen und berührenden, fast schmerzenden Schönheit, die sowohl Trauer als auch Glück in sich trägt. Mit einer großen Portion Sehnsucht und dennoch Hoffnung und Unendlichkeit, einem grandiosen, subtilen Rhythmus und die Auflösung heißt: Vorangehen, nach vorn schauen, und dennoch den Moment leben und bejahen. Am Schluss hat der Track sogar etwas Forsches und Treibendes. Einfach eine großartige Widerspiegelung diverser Emotionen und absolut Weltklasse in ihrer Vielschichtigkeit in dieser Kategorie Musik! Wow! Danke, Son.sine! Read the rest of this entry »
