Rik’s Podcast #4 – Louis Atkins techno mix

Rik — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 20:59:58 +0000

Good lordy it is another podcast in my series. Mikey Lambe will be amazed at my industry, I would imagine. ANYWAY, this mix brings you the mad skills of my very good friend Louis “as in ‘Juan’, but not actually related” Atkins, resident of Bethnal Green, native of Copacabana, Rio, ‘Brasil’ (sic, and who am I to argue…) – all round good chap and ace techno/electro producer and DJ. Funnily enough, and quite meta, I am blogging this podcast from Louis’ room, on Louis’ computer, which has a ‘Brasilian’ keyboard, so if my punctuation goes a bit pear-shaped, that’s why. Louis is LITERALLY doing a mix for, me, live, while I blog about his mix which is the feature of this podcast. See: It went meta… did you see where it did that? (Option-W to do a question mark. How completely intuitive. ANYWAY…) ANYWAY. Here is the set list for the mix you are about to download and then listen to, somewhat slack-jawed at it’s amazingness.

Rik’s Podcast #1 – “I Lick Your Spine” by DJ Omar

Rik — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 15:58:45 +0000

OK, here we go. Although I love techno music I have never tried my hand at creating my own mixes, and realistically, I probably never will. Luckily, I have lots of talented DJ type friends who can do that kind of thing for me. So this is the first in a fairly regular series of podcasts where I will be piggybacking on the talent of these friends in order to bask in their reflected glory, and hopefully expose them to a wider audience. Because they really are very good, all of them. As I’m sure you will agree once you check out their mixes.

First up is DJ Omar – aka Ole Martin Vilberg from Oslo, Norway, who has recently done not one, nor even two, but THREE marvellous, acid tinged hour long excursions to a happy techno place. I met Ole Martin and his equally lovely partner Tonje in the T Bar in London’s fashionable/skanky Shoreditch – we hit it off and spent a fantastic night dancing exuberantly, shrieking “SKRAEVSYLTE” (google it…) at the top of our lungs and generally being quite silly.

Anyway, turns out he an ace DJ. And to prove it, I’m going to start this whole podcast series with his three recent mixes. I spoil you, I really do. First up is ‘~~The Sirup Mix~~‘ ‘I Lick Your Spine’.

[Update - Ole Martin mislabelled the mixes but now we got it straight, and we also have track listings! If you want to rename your MP3s - assuming you downloaded them, The Sirup Mix is actually I Lick Your Spine, and what WAS I Lick Your Spine is Actually 'In The Moog For Love'. Glad we cleared that up...]

Tracklisting:

Luciano – Fourges Et Sabres
Let’s Go Outside – I’ll Lick Your Spine (Repeat Repeat rmx)
Ben Westbeech – Hang Around (Karizma rmx)
Rework – Love Love Love Yeah (Chloè rmx)
Wouldbenice – One Cell
Jurgen Paape – Nord
Larsson – Off Voices
Shonky – Olympia
Dusty Kid – Kore
Shane Berry – Fillertet 2 (Gabriel Ananda rmx)

Low Tech Predator

Rik — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 07:35:23 +0000

My good friend Rico Casazza has a new track out – “Low Tech Predator” – on the first release from the brand new Serialism label, straight outta Shoreditch, bringing you finest quality bespoke minimal/tech house. You can pick it up at Juno, and on vinyl in all discerning record stores soon. Or, thanks to the magic of the intarwebs, Martin Laine’s nifty Audio Player WordPress plug-in, and this very blog, you can enjoy it right here:

[audio:low_tech_predator.mp3]

Ideally of course, you’ll want to hear it on the “dancefloor”, so why not get along to Audio Bass at Rhythm Factory on 10 August, where Rico will be ‘spinning’ along with other luminaries of the East London underground minimal/techno/electro/whathaveyou scene.
