Obscure - Dance Music in New Zealand

Speakeasy x01 - less eats beats

May 7th, 2008

About this: Turnstyle says “Face up for a new format, new sequence, new order, new run time for your run down. Speakeasy is the sound that you like to move your body. The sounds of creative commons mp3 coming down your wire for free. The sound of electronic dance music today.

About us: Suln says “We make loops, layered up on loops. We select & filter style, cut slices and serve in sequence. We run tracks thinner. We run tracks deep. We run tracks that run dance floors, but this is no a disco. We keep edict, we keep minimal, we keep the music electronic.

Follow the links to the Artist web-sites and find the music your self.

Simon Flower 2008 Set

March 16th, 2008

Simon Flower

Righto people, time for my yearly upload.

Recorded this one during my opening slot at the Steve Bug gig at Coherent in Auckland. Normally playing live for the first set of the night totally blows, you’re not a DJ who can choose from any number of tracks to fit the time and place. However this night people started dancing early and I had a blast playing, and I think this recording reflects that.

Only a couple of new tracks here (one of which is forthcoming on Pokerflat), but I’m constantly working on the older ones for live shows, and think they’ve never sounded better.

Once again many thanks to Psurkit and Obscure for hosting!

For info and gig updates - www.simonflower.co.nz

Tracklisting :

  • Seyyes
  • A Pleasure for the Tips
  • Walking Home
  • Shinjuku Skyline
  • Phosphenes
  • Modern Love
  • Past Perfect
  • Send in the Clowns
  • One Circle
  • Still Here, Still There
  • Disintered

the .3rd Resistance - deep future

February 26th, 2008

In the fading dusk of civilisation covert operatives have arrived from deep in our collective future.

Sent to observe, analyse and document the end of all culture the questions remains are the .3rd Resistance here to help or here to hinder the destruction of everything as we know it.

The line of incursion lead by .3rd Resistance forces can be recognised by their little white van know as ‘deep in your future‘.
This is a recording made of the latest transmission from the van.

Speakeasy 1X0 - Kill Club / lethal dose

February 9th, 2008

About this: Turnstyle wants you to know that you like ‘minimal techno’

Stepping back into the ether: this version of events is an attempt to communicate with the people that we know. It has come to our attention that the system is severely infected. An unhealthy amount of minimal beats are available everywhere. There is only one cure.

Suln recommends you take a lethal dose. Prescriptions available at Kill Club. There will be cameras watching you! So we get real and get the demo running, so that you get techno in your drive & boot up the disco.

Tacklist::

Illy - Nico Forster / Miniscule
One She Was in Madrid - Patrick di Stefano / Beautiful Grotesque
Go On A Jaunt - Victor Arias / Discos Cocinados Vol. 2
Mucha Pimienta - gladKazuka / Discos Cocinados Vol. 2
Wilde Maus - Levelheads / Wilde Maus
Woza - Phonout / Spillover E.P.
Passing happy - Phonout / Spillover E.P.
ellas - sr.click / mininoquo
Transmisión - Sr.Click / Sentido
los qeqos (mikel mendia remix) - hermetico / ikea + los qeqos
Deepmush - Éloi Brunelle / 100

Beat Up Rx05 - Pitch Black

August 9th, 2007

Talking with Paddy Free from Pitch Black.

Real time mulit-media performers, Mike & Paddy push visuals and sound into new dimensions. With a new album “Rude Mechanicals” in stores _now_ New Zealand’s favourite dub’naughts are gearing up for another globe spanning tour. Committed sonic travellers they are heading back to Europe for their eighth visit.

For me. Pitch Black are like the tonal centre of New Zealand electronica. their music captures a sense of time and space that is reflective of our landscape. Attacking sparse rhythms and haunting melodies with studio dub techniques, the results are completly Aotearoa, yet universal in their appeal.

I have an impromptu chat with Paddy on the eve of their upcoming tour. Paddy talks about previous tours, live playing techniques and exposes some of the Pitch Black inspiration and ethos.
