Parece ser que el tema del Porno Disco empieza a  cruzar  fronteras y sigue creando más adeptos. Vamos conociendo nuevos mezcladores, hasta ahora totalmente desconocidos para nosotros, que siguen esta línea promovida por artistas como Spaziale o Jussi Kantonen, y que aportan su personal visión del género. En esta nueva entrega presentamos a Ric Piccolo, un dj argentino que  analiza el sonido disco de su país natal en una interesante serie llamada ‘Pampas Disco Shock’  en la que refleja la parte más erótica del género, y que ya va por el tercer volumen. Su último mix subido a su página de soundcloud nos sirve como  perfecto resumen para adentrarnos en su investigación musical. Otro gran mezclador al que seguir la pista.

This mix was made with all unknown stuff left out of my series PampasDiscoShock and long digging sessions through Argentina. I want to especially thank again to Eduardo Alberto Elizalde Pietruczyk, my top music delaer and the most 7 inches expert in Pampas.
Across this freestyle mix you can listen ProtoAmbient, Jazz, Funk, Fusion, Tango dyes, Mega Obscure Soundtracks and another exciting mixtures.

Relax and enjoy the trip…

 Ric Piccolo – Pampas Porno Shock

Recuperamos una muy interesante propuesta nacida de la unión de Jon Leidecker aka Wobbly junto a alguno de los integrantes de Matmos y que fue titulada como “Traumatic Hypnosis Is a Weapon of Peace”, aparecida como parte de la serie de podcast del magazine polaco Glissando.

La frase se toma prestada de un personaje de “La Batalla Por El Planeta De Los Simios“, Albina, una mutante que sobrevive en las ruinas de lo que fue Nueva York y que posee una habilidad especial que la sitúa en el top de los mutantes, una capacidad única de proyectar sus pensamientos directamente en la mente de quien ella desease. Ese poder absolutamente devastador podía ser utilizado para enfrentarse contra cualquier fuerza oscura; y precisamente ese el punto de partida del mix, que ahonda en la idea del control mental a través la hipnosis que aquí encuentra su fiel reflejo en una selección donde la experimentación es la principal protagonista para entrar en un profundo estado alterado pero por donde se cuelan además todo tipo de inesperados momentos de  Krautrock, ambient, techno, house o Funk espacial.

Are spirits in my room watching me at night?

This sounds like a classic sleep paralysis condition in which another presence is sensed.

But it’s not.

Terrible things are on their way. Ghosts, spooks and wraiths, wraiths on wings.

You’re allowed to close your eyes but you must acclaim their presence. It’s because this space belongs to them. They’re hosting you kindly, as long as you follow their rules.

You mustn’t sleep. You must fit the size of the bed perfectly, otherwise you’ll be stretched or your limbs will be cut. Then you’ll be taken and flayed alive by wraiths, wraiths on wings. In flight.

You have an hour before they come. Enjoy every minute of the session.

Minimum Syndicat siguen en la brecha. Aunque la actividad productiva del sello se haya ralentizado en exceso y solo tengamos noticias suyas en escasas colaboraciones, imaginamos fruto de lo dificultoso de seguir publicando en vinilo en los tiempos que corren, los franceses siguen ofreciendo puntuales actuaciones donde despliegan todo el armamento pesado que esconden los surcos de sus referencias.

Como perfecta muestra de cómo se las siguen gastando en formato live, esta grabación de su paso por la una de las últimas fiestas del colectivo belga “Fondation Sonore“. Sin tregua desde el primer minuto, la intensidad sonora y ácida da clara muestras de que todavía queda mucha artillería altamente mortífera por publicar en los archivos de MS.

Mark Fell

SND

La Planète Sauvage directed by René Lalou

Interesante repaso a lo más profundo de su background musical el que realiza Mark Fell, más conocido por formar junto a Mat Steel el ente conocido como SND, uno de los combos electrónicos referentes absolutos con apariciones en sellos tan respetados como Mille Plateaux o Raster Noton.

El inglés repasa de manera exhaustiva y a modo de diario musical sus primeros contactos con la música, y como a base de casualidades, de amistades que se cruzaban fortuitamente en su camino iba alimentando su insaciable apetito por todo tipo de nuevas sonoridades que resultaban de una importancia capital por el impacto que causaban en su formación tanto musical como personal.

De Human League a Psychic TV, de Throbbing Gristle a Mark Stewart, de Warp a Sähkö pasando por el eje imaginario que formaban Detroit y Berlín. Contextualizando cada momento histórico con su propia banda sonora, incluyendo todo tipo detalles y audios que ayudan a entender su propia evolución sonora junto a el momento histórico que se vivía en las islas así como esa reacción en forma de contra cultura musical a lo que estaba sucediendo, y como la música va expresando en cierta manera el día a día de una vida en la Inglaterra bajo el fuerte yugo conservador.

Una interesante y personal manera de mostrar esas influencias, debidamente separada en seis partes, que marcarían su siguiente devenir en el mundo de la producción más experimental, menos acomodada y en cierta manera reivindicativa de los tiempos oscuros que nos han tocado vivir.

intro

this series of six mixes traces my musical interests from 1981 to 1996. it came about after an invitation from british anthropologist georgina born to list some key pieces of music – a kind of musical genealogy. my original intention, and georgina’s request, was for a short playlist. i took this to mean about 10 or 12 tracks, but once i started this process it became clear the list would be much longer. i’ve broken this up into six manageable sections each lasting about one hour, each with a focus on a specific period. tracks are not listed in strict chronological order, but instead are listed according to when i discovered them… so it starts in 1981 and initially goes back in time as i uncover things i had missed in earlier years.

part 1

in the summer of 1981 the special’s ghosttown had dominated the charts. they played in a local park in rotherham and it seemed like the whole town had turned out to see them. later that year a new sound and style appeared – for me pioneered by soft cell and the human league. love action entered the charts some time later than tainted love. but i preferred the production and choice of sounds. while my best friend at school became massively into soft cell, i became massively into the human league and began to collect their new releases and track down their back catalogue. i was also interested in other synth pop acts of the time including depeche mode, whose album ‘speak and spell’ was awesome. the 12″ single ‘just can’t get enough’ had a brilliant b side. after the departure of vince clarke from depeche mode my attention followed him to yazoo. their first album ‘upstairs at erics’ with its fragmented human dummy and warehouse setting had a kind of uncanny appeal. a friend’s copy had a slightly different inner sleeve: mine had a blue and white photo of clarke and moyet which was repeated on both sides; his copy had a slightly different photo of the two on each side. i can’t remember this guy’s name but he had a polo mint addiction and was worried about the wrinkles on his forehead getting worse – it was a thing you were not allowed to mention. the following year (1982), after getting home from school, i turned on the tv to be confronted by a skinhead in a vicar’s shirt – genesis p orridge of psychic tv. a band i had not heard of, but i was instantly hooked. and probably this musical encounter changed my life more fundamentally than any other. here was a group using video and discussing issues about the nature of reality, society and identity – just the kind of thing an alienated teenage boy needs. i called my friend (the soft cell fan) who had also seen it. and for a time we were both massive psychic tv fans, but me more so. i found their album ‘force the hand of chance’ in a local record shop in rotherham market, and inside was a free album – themes volume 1. this was the weirdest music i had ever heard. re-listening to this i realize it’s actually a brilliant album. anyway following the encounter with psychic tv on the tv, and the complete dissatisfaction with school and small town life, i decided i wanted out of normality forever… and music was the way out.

so i begin to track down older releases by the human league – the ones before the girls joined. their first 12″ ‘the dignity of labour’ was a particular favourite. i remember also hearing the track ‘marianne’ in the school youth club and going up to the dj to ask him what it was. it turned out it was only available on the double pack of holiday 80, and i only had the single version. i also got increasingly into throbbing gristle who became a massive influence and i started to collect their records, as well as chris and cosey (i should have included a track from heartbeat but its way too scratched). i guess the rest of the records listed below speak for themselves – these were my favourite records of the time.

part 3

around 1984 to 1985 the miners strike was happening. i grew up in the village next to orgreave so was acutely aware of what was going on. by this time my dad (a steel worker) had been made redundant too. and it seemed like society had fallen to bits. most of the shops were shut or the units vacant. and then the police seemed to become just a weapon of the state… two horrific events happened – the battle of orgreave, and a massive conflict at the bean field around the stone henge festival in 1985 – these were utterly and unbelievably brutal. i’ve included two tracks that reflected this brutality – one by test dept, the other by mark stewart. by this time my interest had shifted from the human league and psychic tv to throbbing gristle and mark stewart. i also found fats comet – a fictional character. here the track hypnotized has another incarnation ‘djs dream’ sharing the same musicians and production (adrian sherwood). by this time i had also met a few people involved with a group in sheffield called the anti group (aka TAGC) which was related to clock dva. i was into the symbolism and sound of their meontological research recordings (vols 1 and 2). these seemed to point to a new direction in sound, but along with these a more popular movement was growing. i went into shock records in sheffield one day – the shop that had introduced me to mark stewart and so much other music – and he played me some music he called ‘acid house’. for me acid house seemed to achieve what throbbing gristle and TAGC had hoped to achieve – altered states through use of sound and rhythm. i got totally into it.

part 4

through friends in the anti group i got tapes of detroit techno. and soon after started at the local art school studying experimental film and video. this coincided with the beginning of warp records, based in sheffield, and the bleep and bass sound. for a few years life at university integrated into club culture and free parties. but as a non drug user i could see the carnage and drug casualties – it seemed like people were destroying themselves and their relationships under the banner of having fun, and just taking more and more drugs. the low point for me was standing in a club and looking at a room full of people dancing to ‘youve got the love’ by the source featuring candi staton. probably the worst record ever. i hate that track so much – it’s like kryptonite to me… it marked the end of my interest in that scene. and soon after i left university.

around 1992 i met a sheffield house dj callum wordsworth, he worked in a record shop opposite from warp records. and his interest was new york house. he lived with jez potter (who i would later work with on the shirt trax album on or records). anyway as i hung out with callum my interests shifted away from techno and ‘experimental’ music to american house music. the section starts with youth’s remix of the sugarcubes vitamin ep, which was the first example i can find of a rhythm being filtered by a low pass filter. i later used this technique extensively with mat steel on our snd project.

part 6

around 1994 i was working on music with mat steel and hanging out with him and jez potter. i started to work with jez on a radio show ‘non axiomatic living room’ which was based sometimes at mats house and sometime noel kilbride’s. it was through the radio that i met sean booth who turned up with a synth and did some shows with us. these generally were on saturday night from midnight til 6am. also involved was rob baker of the antigroup. so it became an interesting crossover of different people and styles. through mat i was exposed to the ifach label, through jez i encountered general magic, farmers manual and ikeda. and these blended into a radio show. often we would make music on saturday afternoon in a few hours to play that evening on the radio show. and from this came shirttrax (the project on Or with jez) and snd with mat steel. of particular interest here is the track ‘o licky’ by matthew herbert – this was the first time i had heard scratches or kind of noise like knocks (i assumed to be a damaged record) sampled and used in the context of house music. the use of this sound here, in terms of the sound and the patterns it plays, were a major influence – you can clearly hear these in SND records to the present day.

Secret Thirteen ya no es un secreto para casi nadie. En un abrir y cerrar de ojos el magazine online se ha ganado a pulso el reconocimiento de cada vez un mayor número de seguidores, que la señalan ya como uno de las webs de absoluta referencia por su criterio nada sesgado, su calidad, tanto en contenidos como en diseño, su intención didáctica, su honestidad, libertad creativa y buen gusto que atesoran.

Un lugar donde arte y música se entrelazan en todo tipo de contenidos e informaciones, entrevistas y curiosidades llenas de sustancia. Además de una selecta lista de nombres y referentes que engrosan ya las entrañas de S13 y que son toda una declaración de intenciones y una fuente inagotable, sobre todo de cultura y de selecciones de una calidad incontestable, heterogéneas y anárquicas, efectivas y arriesgadas, pero siempre enfocadas a mostrar la riqueza creativa que todavía permanece intacta en el ADN de esa música electrónica de vanguardia y experimental, alejada de los cánones recurrentes y mostrada siempre desde perspectivas muy personales y profundas.

Tras las bambalinas de S13 se esconde el trabajo metódico y disciplinado de su principal mente pensante, Justinas Mikulskis, un lituano del que poco sabíamos y que bien personaliza la labor desinteresada y anónima del amante empedernido y entregado a la causa electrónica. Pero no solo la música se erige como único protagonista, sino que las palabras, las historias que las selecciones cuentan y que Justinas se encarga de transcribir gracias a una riqueza descriptiva y léxica que te permiten leer y visualizar momentos tan abstractos y personales como los que allí se describen. Una avalancha de sensaciones, de formas geométricas, de colores, de melodías, de sonidos evocadores, de puro arte de los sentidos.

Todo este conocimiento de la cultura musical también se puede escuchar en las sesiones que Justinas ha venido realizando últimamente. Selecciones que siempre exigen al oyente un plus de atención por lo complejas y heterogéneas de las mismas y donde nos muestra un apetito voraz por el coleccionismo, por descubrir todo tipo de expresiones sonoras y nombres olvidados, necesarios en muchos casos para entender de dónde venimos.

Una de estas selecciones camaleónicas ha sido interceptada en nuestra órbita y transformada en sesión modular. Música para ser escuchada con detenimiento, llena de pequeños detalles, de giros inesperados, de momentos extraordinarios y sorprendentes, pero siempre con aura oscura y tenebrosa, un deje industrial y de experimentación, de electrónica mutante y expeditiva.

There is no need to write about the mental state or inner-feelings behind this kaleidoscopic musical selection. It is so complicated and nebulous that I’m still working deeply with my subconsciousness to uncover this inertially recorded audio labyrinth. The two things I have discovered. The first is that it reflects my always rotational taste of music. The second is that it evokes memories of my darker personal life experience during the last two years. Thoughts about rituals, killings, history, geography, love meaning, physics, perversions and other insanity. Probably everything what is bothering me is spilled on this digital record.

I don’t believe in limits in music. So, when I compile I’m trying to erase everything that has boundaries. Also I try to inspire advanced listener and at the same time to get myself in trance of pleasure. It is like an ejaculation of knowledge. I wish this kaleidoscopic selection will touch another half of every listener – the real phantom. Justinas Mikulskis

Desde Headphone Commute nos regalan una interesante experiencia sonora. Una sesión que se reivindica como un “mix narrativo”, y cuyo objetivo es ofrecer la experiencia que cotidianamente disfrutamos al escuchar música en los cascos mientras la vida continua alrededor. A partir de liberías de sonidos de acceso libre gracias a su licencia creative commons, Mr. Wi$e recrea esa experiencia con piezas de piano impresionistas pobladas de pasos y ecos de la rutina de la oficina, el sonido de un domingo recorrido por cálidos acordes y la explosión de fuegos artificiales, o el trance del atasco bañado en música deliciosa. Una curiosa experiencia que su autor define como “un proyecto sonoro que se ubica entre un audio libro, una mixtape y una sesión. Hecho específicamente para escuchar con cascos”.

Олд Комм (Old Komm) son Andrey Kolmogorov y Sergey Gosky, dos completos desconocidos rusos llegados de la lejana Samara. Desde mediados de los noventas no han dejado de producir intentando trasladar sus inquietudes musicales e influencias, aunque su actividad ha sido más bien escasa, apenas han quedado de esa época un par de casetes sin ningún tipo de distribución repartidas solo entre amigos y conocidos, donde hacían gala de una especie de aislacionismo industrial, techno primitivo y capas de duro noise.

Ahora gracias al trabajo de investigación de la gente del pequeño sello Discrepant han podido publicar su primer trabajo, el muy recomendable “Ventspils”, inspirado en el decadente ambiente post industrial que encontraron en una visita a la ciudad del Báltico y que les obligo en cierta manera a volver a grabar tras años de inactividad.

Para ayudar a conocer a Олд Комм, recuperamos uno de los mixes que confeccionaron con motivo de la publicación de “Ventspils”, una selección de lo más bizarra con algunos de sus temas favoritos, otros propios sin editar todavía, pasado y presente de esta extraña pareja rusa.

Martiensgohome

Martiensgohome es un colectivo sonoro belga formado en 1996 por cuatro artistas experimentales (Anton Aeki, Benoit Deuxant, L.E.G. y Patrick Thinsy) obsesionados con la radio como medio perfecto para la difusión de sus obras. Especializados en la improvisación como motor de creación, sus composiciones se basan en la utilización de todo tipo de grabaciones de campo, de frecuencias cotidianas y música concreta que van mezclando a su libre albedrío configurando una especie de paisajes sonoros de anti-ambient, una especia de celebración del espectro sonoro muy en la onda de gente como Scanner. Estas grabaciones desde la radio que vienen haciendo desde hace muchos años ininterrumpidamente son muy puntualmente editadas y finalmente publicadas. Aquí tenemos una de las últimas que el colectivo belga llevó a cabo desde el 107.2 de la Campus Radio de Bruselas.

Al final de un oscuro pasillo nos espera agazapado S.Y.D. con su guadaña perfectamente afilada. Un tipo al que siempre hay que seguir y que nunca defrauda por su conocimiento de la cultura sonora de nuestro tiempo. Esta vez nos llega un mix del capo de Bruits de Fond perteneciente a la serie Dig it, (por donde ya han pasado otro expertos en la materia como son Dj Oblique, Bobé Van Jezu o Leekid), que para la ocasión rebusca en su colección de vinilos sonoridades alejadas de su perfil habitual, mucho más combativo y de altas revoluciones. Aquí seguirá los patrones marcados por la música industrial, drones, ruidismo, grabaciones de campo, catarsis digital, dark ambient y sobre todo experimentación a base de una lista de nombres básicos y necesarios para entender y conocer la otra cara más anárquica y extrema de la electrónica.
