Codex Europa

First 2012 Selection

2012-02-11T15:58:00.000-08:00

Five of the most interesting techno-related tracks at the moment. The PAS track is older but great to hear again and slightly stronger than the Liebing and Dettmann remixes backing it.

Dadub –Perseverance (Stroboscopic Artefacts)

Endless –Clearing (Electric Deluxe)

Planetary AssaultSystems – Function 4 (Mote Evolver)

Svreca – JadeOrphx Remix (Semantica)

I played a special Euro-themed mix at this NSK-related event at Ballhaus Naunystr. After the main set I alternated tracks with Avi Pitchon: the details of this are not recorded but there was definitely some gabber at some point:

Milk + Lead Party 21.10.2011

2011-10-28T15:38:00.000-07:00

Thisturned out to be a very long and exhilarating night with a greatatmosphere in a doomed and shadowy temporary space. I was invited tomix a soundtrack for a ritual performance and started slowly beforeplaying an intense ritual section with four tracks runningsimultaneously. After this things accelerated but I was asked to playfor much longer than expected and ended up following my instincts,even dropping two Laibach tracks to great effect. Thanks again toMilk + Lead for the invitation.

Doctor Who and The Death Factory Mix on Ill FM 20.00 09/02/11

2011-02-09T12:13:00.000-08:00

This special mix combines Brian Hodgson's dystopian/visionary Doctor Who soundtracks with industrial, contemporary classical and cold electronica. Many first-wave British industrial groups were exposed to Doctor Who and its radical soundtracks at a formative age and they can be seen as a precursor to the industrial sound, just as many Doctor Who storylines dealt with topics later explored by industrial (pollution, mutation, mind control, sonic terror, para-militarism and more). Listen live or on the archive at Ill FM...

It's free, the venue may soon be closed and there's also Noise=Noise happening downstairs. The set will be split into two sessions from 7.30-8.15 and 9.30-10.15. I'll play some dark Bunker electro and possibly the odd rogue track here and there....

Tanzmuzik Setlist

2010-01-23T15:26:00.000-08:00

It was a slightly under-supported and surreal evening but still pleasant and interesting, we all enjoyed each others' sets. The infrastructure was a little problematic and the vinyl needles being reclaimed halfway into my set forced me to resort to CDs and even prompted an unplanned swerve off into Dutch acid techno! Thanks to Zara, Adam and James for the invite.

This was a great night when I got to play at least an hour more than scheduled to cover gaps. The CD players were surprisingly flaky but the sound was great. As the Ill FM room was located by the entrance anyone coming into the place was exposed to the Ill FM virus. The extra time meant that even more innocent kids on their way to the dubstep room got probably their first (and only?) exposure to industrial, power electronics, gabber, Slovak minimal techno and more. I was exhausted by the end, but spurred on by the dedicated legion of the damned urging me on. The SCH track was played twice... but I didn't hear any complaints! Thanks to Tamon for inviting me.

These tracks were played in between and after the acts at The Grosvenor. More of a dark ambient/industrial set to fit the line-up (CON-DOM, Stab Electronics, ANTIchildLEAGUE, Pain Nail). I did step up the pace for a while after CON-DOM though. Two Starfish Pool tracks were played but then SP is such a powerful and under-rated artist. Amplified Tones is his masterpiece.

This was my return to the fray after too long a gap. Many thanks to Gaya for the invite. This was possibly the dodgiest set up I've encountered, in a small makeshift alcove downstairs. The good side of this was that the confined space created a storming atmosphere as the night went on.

The soundcheck was fine but when it came to my first set most of it was wiped out by static and the disruption to the set up from the previous act. With help from Paul (Eva 3) my next (two!) sets went ahead amidst the general euphoric vodka-swigging, pitched-up deck-colliding mayhem.

This was a mix of EBM, minimal techno, schranz, doomcore, industrial and even Goth which worked pretty well. Some of the later ones were played back to back with Edu (I think). This was a very rough mix, but it brought me back into mixing and it was a great night (for all sorts of reasons). The order is (naturally) approximate...

Thomas Bangalter – Rectum (Roulé)

Regis – The Black Freighter (Downwards)

Black Lung - Joyful Slaughter (of the Capitalist Swine) (Nova Zembla)

Deecoy – Deadline (International Deejay Gigolo Records)
