Northern California based dj/producer Hjalmar Hake (aka OILPANIC) returns with his second EP for 530Techno entitled CIMMN (Carl Is My Middle Name).

Lush, big room vibes and summer psych rhythms pervade both original tracks neither of which fall easily within commercial genres of dance music.  Always pushing the boundaries, Hjalmar’s music is a good mirror of his personal character, being at once original, warm and rooted in nature as well as cosmic and visionary. No other sound has been so influential in crafting the 530Techno imprint as Oilpanic’s lateral thinking take on electro, techno and house. For this very special EP, we enlisted two of our heroes of electronic music to provide remixes for Carl Is My Middle Name.

Brendon Moeller (aka Beat Pharmacy, Echologist) kicks out the big room jam with a conjuring of Ozric/CAN vibes over block rocking beats and analog sounds. Perfectly suited for the summer festival circuit, Brendon’s Acid Dub reminds us, the future is now!

J Hunsberger (Cynosure, Mule Electronic, Audiomatique) strips CIMMN down to its essentials and turns in a beautiful reconfiguration of the CIMMN synths while keeping the spacey vibe of the original. Impeccable production and an appreciation for fine detail, J Hunsberger’s Hawaiian Island Re-Rub feels like ocean waves lapping up at you on a warm summer day.

about lilroj //  The musical career of Roger Vellion aka LilRoj began in Louisiana, where at the age of 15 he began experimenting with turntables and electronic music. In 1994, at the age of 18 he broke into the nightclub scene, and two years later the New Orleans Rave scene. Early gigs included Freebass Society events at the State Palace Theatre, known as the epicenter of music and culture in New Orleans, as well as many large mid 90′s warehouse parties in major cities like Houston and Memphis. He continued to be a staple in the Southern scene up until 2002, when he moved to Portland, Oregon. In Portland, Roj established himself as a top local talent and began to refine his sound, focusing on funky, bass-heavy techno and minimal. He also began expanding his passion for electronic music production. In 2008 Roj began working with fellow Portland artist JAK, becoming a key remixer and producer for the SubSensory label. Roj now helps manage the label as well as SubSensory’s monthly event: STATIC.   web / facebook / soundcloud

Beautiful, melodic and dubbed out electronics are rooted in deep grooves perfect for warming winter dance floors.  We welcome two wonderfully creative producers from Calgary, Ivan Dbri & Wirik, who open 2012 for us with their Ibossim EP.

Ibossim and Hypnose E Thanatos both capture a dynamic landscape of digital technique and analog aesthetics. Balancing influences from tribal house, dub techno, post-classical and latin jazz, Dbri & Wirik create mesmerizing and highly musical dance floor arrangements rarely heard in main stream electronica.

Los Angeles duo, Android Cartel (NeuroTraxx Deluxe, Rawthentic, Sketchbook, NOICE!) are enlisted to remix and catapult Ibossim into a big room tech-house groover awash with huge reverbs, android dub stylings and top notch production.

Riding the basic channel style strings from the original, Oilpanic remixes Hypnose E Thanatos into a deep late night shuffling slab of groovy techno.

about jak // Portland, Oregon-based dj/producer Jack Coleman aka JAK has been spinning techno and house music in the NW United States for 14 years. His precise mixing, moving DJ sets and singular dedication to the full spectrum of techno sounds — along with his work as a producer — has earned him a reputation as one of the most respected underground artists in the region. Over the past decade, JAK headlined events up and down the West Coast, as well as throughout Chile.   //   He’s also the founder of the Portland-Oregon based label and artist collective, SubSensory Recordings. Now approaching 50 releases, including a variety of JAK’s own productions and contributions from some of techno music’s leading artists like Adam Jay, Audio Injection and Spark Taberner to name a few, the label continues to represent Portland’s intimate and growing techno scene and link it to the broader global electronic music community. SubSensory’s bi-monthly club night STATIC, after nearly two years of continually packed dance floors, has proven to be one of the most loved techno club nights in Portland’s edm history.   //  In addition to his own releases on SubSensory, JAK’s original tracks and remixes have been featured on Nude Photo Music, HardPlace Records, *Cutz, Backs/ash Records, Loopsfreaks Black and Aguenring Records and soon on HardDrive Records.  //  In early 2011, JAK’s release “A Thought Apart” with Mario Miranda and Audioelectronic remixes broke the top 50 Beatport.com’s minimal charts. In late 2011, his “The Botch” release on SubSensory hit high in the top 100 charts on Beatport, TrackItDown and Dj Download. Look for more from JAK in the very near future!  web / facebook / soundcloud

Part 1 – Techno Influences

When I thought back to songs that have most influenced me, it wasn’t difficult to recall these six.

Richie Hawtin – Call it What You Want – Plus 8 (1995)
This is one of my favorite “acid” records ever. The unforgettable 303s and immense Roland percussion of Call it What You Want sound absolutely amazing to this day.

Planetary Assault Systems – In from the Night – Peacefrog (1994)
The raw sound of Luke Slater’s project “Planetary Assault Systems” was simply unstoppable, and somehow he continues to release groundbreaking music 15 years later.

X- Connection (DJ Misjah & DJ Groovehead) – Funky Drive – X-Trax (1995)
To this day, the Dutch continue to produce some of the world’s best techno. I really loved how Dj Misja’s X-Trax label bridged the divide between acid and funky techno. This is a great example of Misja and co.’s massive work.

Technasia – Future Mix – The Declamation EP (1998)
This is from 1998 but I probably first heard The Declamation EP in 2000. Charles Siegling’s production quality and unique soundscape just blew me away and I wouldn’t hesitate to play this record today.

Luke Slater – Body Freefall, Electronic Inform – J. Carrier’s Highrise Mix – Novamute (2000)
Here’s Luke Slater a few years later with another masterfully produced hit. I think this exemplifies a period when electro and techno were merging in a really cool way.

Remainings III – DK Remix 2 – Drumcode (2000)
For me, this remains one of the most memorable techno tracks ever released. I couldn’t get enough of this and the other mixes of the track back then, and it still rocks like no other.

Part 2 – Current DJ Mix

For the current mix I picked out 10 newer dubby or dark techno tracks from all over the globe. I wanted to keep it kind of spaced out and trippy, as befits the 530Techno imprint

1. Centrikal – Elephants – Piltdown Sound Dub – SubSensory Recordings
2. Nathan Coles, David Coker – Summer Acid (Original Mix)
3. Dembowski – Federmappe (Felix Bernhardt Remix)
4. JAK,_LilRoj – Boozit – Original Mix – 530Techno
5. Black Asteroid – Engine 1 (Brian Sanhaji Remix (Another Version)) – CLR
6. Mr. Jones – Machine Civilization (Tony Montana Remix) – Slap Jaxx
7. Tom Laws – Stranger With My Face (Original Mix) – Sleaze
8. Asio (aka R-Play) – Speak (Original Mix)
9. Cari Lekebusch, Joseph Capriati, Napoli 4am (Original Mix) – Drumcode
10. Troy Pierce – I Need A Guide (Original Mix) – Items and Things

Part 3 – Current Influences

To be honest, I don’t collect much music outside of the genres I use as a DJ. And outside of techno and house, my version of “current” could be up to 10 years old. Regardless, when I sat down to do this podcast there were a few songs that came to mind which are more in the chill spectrum and share some similar qualities.

Emika – Drop the Other
There’s not much I can say on this one other than this song is just kinda gangsta. Emika’s voice is sooo damn HOT!

The Knife – Lasagna – Original Mix (edit)
Unfortunately I was only clued in to The Knife a few years ago. Their work really stands out to me for its unique vocals, electronic beats and thematic vibes.

Swarms – Flickr of Ur Eyes (edit)
Portland-based label LoDubs released this gem earlier in 2011 on the excellent Swarms – Old Raves End album. It’s got to be one of my favorite chill tracks of the past few years.

WasabiOne – Crucial Dub
I thought I’d close it out with a track I co-produced a few years ago with Higrade1, a long-time friend who’s provided design and creative direction on my music projects for 15 years. We created WasabiOne project as an outlet for our dub-inspired moments.

530Techno, the boutique record label based in rural Northern California, closes out 2011 with the seminal Remote Locations EP from Austin, Texas based Pointbender (Thoughtless Music, Harmonious Discord).

Deep, warm analog electronics fully expose the soul in the machine throughout this dynamic EP with remixes from legendary west-coast house producer, Jay Tripwire (Poker Flat, Nordic Trax, Seasons) and soul-tech super hero, The Munk Machine.

Semicircle, is a dubbed out journey dripping with the humid vibes of a torrential rain storm. Epic and beautiful, Pointbender’s artistry here is in his ability to  capture a feeling and sense of place in his music.  Pointbender’s trademark keys, and deep, bumpin tech-house beats keep the groove locked for both original tracks.  Remote Locations, takes us into funkier territory with an irresistibly bumpin bass line. As the track progresses with his excellent use of live electronics, it expresses both the anticipation, excitement and the sorrow of being away from home.

On remix duties, Jay Tripwire summons the cosmic funk with his signature brand of trippy west-coast tech-house on Remote Locations. Bumpin up the acid in the bassline and adding some eargasmic three-dimensional lasers into the mix, he adds immense depth and spatialization to the track. Play this at 4 am on a sweaty dance floor of underground house heads and watch the impending freakdom.

Fast forward to Alpha City 2144 and soul-tech super hero, The Munk Machine transforms Semicircle into a futuristic monster of minimal grooving techno. Keeping the deep vibe and atmosphere of the original track but catapulting us into a synthetic Blade Runner-eque landscape of circuits and bass, The Munk Machine remix is the go to track for the main room.

Intoxicating main-room fire power from Portland, Oregon based artists, JAK & LilRoj. Boozit is a dark low-end bangin slab of tech-house with a killer vocal sample and a hands in the air breakdown perfect for taking your danceflloor up a notch. With such a big track we invited 3 lateral thinking remixers to share their unique vision.

Our favorite don of the 303, Chicago’s Angel Alanis (Afro Acid, Slap Jaxx), turns in a huge jackin piece of lateral thinking acid house. Angel’s Acid lib remix bridges the old school acid trax sound with some other worldly cosmic techno funk.  Next up, another artist from the midwest, Syphon (Wave Records, Parity), ups the energy level by throwin down some heavy tribal percussion into the mix. Syphon’s Dub wouldnt be out of place moving several thousand dancers following a DJ float, getting down in the streets of Berlin.  Stripping things back and adding his signature analog keys, Austin, Texas based dj/producer Pointbender (Thoughtless, Harmonious Discord)  guides us through the come down with a wonderful slab of deep house.

Raw, dubbed out anarchist techno funk from Polish born producer, REP-CAK. On his debut EP, REP-CAK drops 2 original cuts of abstract stucturalist lateral thinking techno. Gdanski Dub and Htem Erom On, both draw on the modern minimal vibes of his current home, Cologne, Germany and the darker punk DIY asthetic of his hometown Gdansk. Subs required for full listening enjoyment.

On remix duties, San Francisco based DJ/Producer Sepehr (Kabutomushi Records, DubNoir) turns Gdanski Dub into a slice of bay area tech-house crunk. Layering the original’s dubbed out bird calls over a deep 808 kick, Sepehr’s ace production kicks it up to booty shakin territory. Finishing out the EP, Oilpanic’s (530Techno, Blipswitch) Htem Erom On remix takes us on a deep futuristic journey, enhancing the original’s dark energy with his own melody and superb production.
