This i call experimental

...ist, dass ich mich wieder wie mit 12 oder 13 fühle. Damals begann ich die Musik, die ich hörte zu katalogisieren. Wer singt dort? Wer hat das Lied komponiert? Wer spielt dort mit? Das wurde ja nicht immer gesagt im Radio. Ich habe meine eigenen Charts aufgestellt. Und obwohl ich heute einige dieser Songs niemandem mehr zumuten würde, so habe ich meinen Musikgeschmack Stück für Stück verändert, als ich begann hinter das ganze Musikbusiness zu sehen. Ich ärgere mich immer, daß hier in Lastfm solche Informationen völlig fehlen. Aber sowas sollen schliesslich wir User nachtragen. Das wird das nächste sein. Ein paar neue Listen und bei den Songs die Informationen, die ich kenne eintragen.

...is to feel like 12 or 13 again. At that time i started to file the music i was listening. Who was singing? Who composed that song? Who was playing? You didn't hear that much on radio. I made my own charts. though i wouldn't let you listen to some of that songs, it changed my musical taste bit by bit, as i began to understand this musicbusiness. I allways complain about few information on lastfm about singer and composer. But this is part of our work as user. So the next thing will be to do some more tracklists and to put some information on the songs as far is i know them.

The final broadcast of 2009. It’s been a great year for electronic music, particularly the stuff of a “darkfloor” nature. To see off the year in style, for our 52nd showcase, direct from the Russian Federation: Vadz.

SHOWCASE
Vadz born Vadim Savchenko in Taganrog, South of Russia in 1980. Whilst growing up Vadz found he could express himself with painting and photography and by age 15 had realised that in music he’d found his calling. At the very beginning,

there were no parties, records or techno; I was just looking for a way to express my non-ordinaries
It was his non-standard view of simple things that provided his conception of musical originality and independence. That was the beginning. From school discos, to local parties, it led to records, synthesizers and sending hordes of demos, to releases, and gigs all over Russian and beyond.

Currently Vadz has 4 physical releases (Television Records and LaBrat Audiochemicals) and an ever growing amount of digital releases (WIDE, Digital Distortions, Militant Science etc…, check his discography). His releases are supported by loads of Russian techno DJs, as well as international names like Dave Clarke, Radioactive Man, Mark Hawkins, Shelley Parker.

Vadz is devoted to (as he describes it) fat ‘proper’ techno and electro styles that use to rock the dancefloors in late 90s and early zeros. No shuffle-trank minimal, no youngsters-on-speed schranz.

In late 2007 Vadz set up the Russian-Techno.com netlabel to show the world the power and quality of his native producers’ output with good, original and interesting music.

Fuck crisis, boycott the industry! Free music distribution is the only future – that’s what we believe in!

Alan Ranta sez:
Frank Zappa posed the question, and provided the answer. Does humor belong in music? Obviously, I think so, and after you hear this absurd and occasionally surreal mix, there is a reasonable chance you will too. Granted, this mix is not exactly a face-melting music tour-de-force from start to finish, but that is also part of the point. If not a life-changing catharsis, music, at the very least, can be fun.

There’s a lot of West coast flavor on this one, featuring four Vancouver acts alone. The Fugitives throw down a whimsical spoken-word interpretation of music history, while the fabulously named Phatty Phatty & The Roaches live up to their hype. The all-ages collective Duplex! takes a turn toward the Talking Heads on their ode to sandwiches, and if you haven’t heard of Dan Mangan yet, prepare to see his name popping up everywhere you look from now on. As Mugatu would say, "he’s so hot right now."

You will also likely remember when and where you were when you first heard the post-ironic ballad from electro princess Adira Amram for the rest of your life. Adira recently landed back home in New York after from her now-infamous tour with Kid Koala’s The Slew. Every night, her intimate rendition of "Mom Song" brought the house to a standstill, followed by sporadic tucking and rolling.

That said, I’m not sure if tracks five through eight are supposed to be comical, and Mangan’s "Robots" is more cute-funny than spit-take, knee-slapping, laugh-out-muthafckn’-loud funny. But hopefully they will at least bring a smile to your face. People tend to like Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, getting drunk off leaks in the ceiling, and hearing children giggle, so I think I’ve got my bases covered.

Track Listing:
01. The Fugitives - "Music (Live)" (Find Me EP)
02. Adira Amram - "Mom Song" (Hot Jams For Teens)
03. Phatty Phatty & The Roaches - "Stanley" (Stanley)

Hot on the heels of the 50th show (with Wu-Tang - Enter the Dubstep), this week we have the Berlin based producer T.R.O.

SHOWCASE
After growing up in Bayreuth (the Richard Wagner town) T.R.O. moved to Berlin, diving head first into it's techno scene. Soon after, he became interested in the much smaller but very friendly local breaks scene, especially the legendary Dangerous Drums nights. Now addicted to this sound, his own productions changed from techno to breakbeat, too. In 2004 his début release "Rec" appeared on the Dangerous Drums compilation "It's a Berlin thing 3" and in 2005 he got the first of several tracks signed on Dr. Schmidt's label Maschinen Musik (Dr. Schmidt and his label were featured on MANTIS 008). While he still enjoys the full range of breakbeat music, increasingly he's become interested in other broken beat styles, primarily dubstep and garage and their influence is being absolved into his productions.

T.R.O.'s own label Furioso is dedicated to the idea of merging breaks, dubstep, 2step, and bassline house. With artists like Sharps, Blackmass Plastics, KingThing, and Nicolas Bourbaki it has quickly become a melting pot for future bass music.

REST OF THE SHOW
Usual 1st hour hosting duties from yours truly, DVNT, presenting my current crop of darkfloor electronica.
