If you think of the festival's history, you'll definitely notice the evolution from a strict visual based concept to a broader media and arts gathering. And that's how this episode connects to the festival, combining cinematic compositions with pure dance floor killers and experimental sound art. Use this mix as your audio guide while wandering through the streets of Cimatics or as a the soundtrack for your warm-up exercises before diving into the nightly mayhem. http://homepage.mac.com/dropper/t2x/Timecast_Cimatics.m4a Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:54:09 +0100 Podcasting no 01:01:04 t2x Works for performing arts Brussels-based due Sendai consists of Yves De Mey and Peter Van Hoesen. You might know them from their techno outings on Time To Express. Both artists are also active as sound designers and composers. While their Sendai project is a joint effort, their sound design and electronic compositions are usually done individually, for a wide variety of applications: theatre and contemporary dance performances, film, installations and research projects. For this TimeCast episode Yves and Peter selected a number of these (commissioned) works, combining their individual output in this field into one consistent narrative. Selected by Yves De Mey & Peter Van Hoesen. Mixed by Peter Van Hoesen. http://homepage.mac.com/dropper/t2x/Timecast_Sendai.m4a Wed, 28 Oct 2009 22:47:23 +0100 Podcasting no 00:56:05 t2x The main theme behind this mix is musical dialectics: creating new situations and atmospheres out of opposed, conflicting parts. Sometimes this juxtaposition is very clearly presented, sometimes you have to look for it a bit harder. But it's always present in this mix. Doing a TimeCast mix also presents one with the opportunity to dig deep, to present obscure rarities that don't get much exposure. As a result this mix is not one for easy consumption. If you're looking for electronic music that's easy to digest then this mix is not appropriate. However, if you're up for a spectral adventure and you are prepared to dedicate the time necessary to experience this adventure to the full extend, then this mix might be something for you. http://homepage.mac.com/dropper/t2x/Timecast_PVH.m4a Tue, 08 Sep 2009 23:45:55 +0200 Podcasting no 01:12:33 t2x Bare Bare as in bare essentials. Essentials as in the records you have but never play for fear of clearing the dancefloor in a matter of seconds. And yet those kinds of records make up more than half of my collection. In every style you can find this niche of records that are too "different" or too "difficult" for the average listener. I guess what I wanted to propose with this mix is exaclty this kind of niche in techno that's unfit for dancefloors. The kind of techno that people probably won't call techno, the kind of techno people would call dull and I guess the kind of techno that you'd better not bring with you on a gig unless you like empty dancefloors, the kind of techno you experience on your own away from the sweaty crowds who unknowingly perform their usual mating rituals, the kind of techno you close your eyes to because it can only exist in your head. http://homepage.mac.com/dropper/t2x/Timecast_Franco_Cangelli.m4a Sun, 09 Aug 2009 22:34:24 +0200 Podcasting no 01:02:13 t2x Titan Mix With the fast stream of new music every week, I wanted to capture for myself some older leftovers in their less visible form: memories. On a certain night out, while Eavesdropper was spinning the records, I told Peter I can be nostalgic when smelling a Technics 1200. Not by any means of 'vinyl-purism', but rather linked to my childhood...this mix is all about that feeling. Let's hope every listener can make his own feeling out of it. http://homepage.mac.com/dropper/t2x/Timecast_AdriaanVK.m4a Tue, 14 Jul 2009 23:15:49 +0200 Podcasting no 01:07:31 t2x Magus mix A few weeks ago, I read this article in the online archive of The Wire magazine about the electronic music scene in Cologne in the Nineties. At the heart of this scene was a club called 'Liquid Sky'. The music policy of this former Persian disco was eclectic to say the least, giving DJ's the opportunity to play dissonant, downright weird tracks, without the audience running away in disgust. This combined with the question of Yves De Mey and Peter Van Hoesen to contribute a mix to their Timecast podcast series, made me think about how electronic music is perceived, how you tell a story with a DJ mix. My contribution to Timecast tries to reverse things a bit, starting of with a small half hour of dissonance that serves as a kind of headcleaner, and resulting in some more accessible, but to my ears, equally challenging stuff, more recent and more in sync with today's electronic music scene. The mix is not intended to provide listening comfort. It is, on the contrary, meant to be played loud. It cannot, as such, serve as background listening. There's a lot of old electronic music, from sometimes obscure composers, featured here. It is my believe that a lot of the aesthetic of electronic music composition of the fifties, sixties and seventies still has relevance today. It can serve as the aforementioned headcleaner and, as such, upset the patterns a bit, make things sound a bit more dirty, challenging or difficult. Today, the DJ mix often is valued only if it is seamless, often resulting in a dictatorship of blandness. To me perfection is boring and I firmly believe that everything that dares to take a stand should be applauded, or at least reacted to. On Autechre's seminal 1984 release 'Anti EP', they printed the words 'Agitate, Educate, Protest' on the sleeve. Seems like a good idea to me to try and do just that. http://homepage.mac.com/dropper/t2x/Timecast_DJ_Sensu.m4a Sun, 07 Jun 2009 14:33:04 +0200 Podcasting no 01:03:53 t2x Mayday Mix This mix was recorded in one take, using vinyl and Traktor Scratch, after several days of practice mixes and aborted attempts. This is the first mix I have made with it, and in most ways it differs very little from any of my other mixes, at least in terms of methodology. I used the software's looping function on the first track, in order to isolate an instrumental passage—I love the vocals, but they didn't work here—but otherwise it's mixed traditionally, by hand, with two turntables and an external mixer. The only effects used are the filters on the Allen & Heath. Sixteen tracks are played from vinyl and eight from MP3. (I mention all this not to distract or detract from the music itself but rather to acknowledge that DJing is changing, and a little transparency around the process might help illuminate matters.) The tracklist came together in fits and starts over the span of several weeks. There's no explicit theme; rather, the set arose out of the attempt to fix a certain kind of sound in place, one that had been flitting around my head for some time. I'm hesitant to put a name to it, although inevitably you'll notice a number of names from the dubstep spectrum, as well as passages whose heavy 4/4 focus and resonant wash will suggest dub techno. Rather than playing to genre, though, I was more interested in teasing out lines that I heard crisscrossing through different tracks—certain rhythms, tones and moods that seemed to be passed from one record to the next. I also wanted to find a way to play music that wouldn't normally find a home in a club context—hence the opening 15 minutes of cotton balls, scouring pads and clear, lysergic drops. Most of the records are recent, released in the past six months or so. But a few slightly older tracks appear—Digital Mystikz' 2006 "Ancient Memories" comes from a distinctly different season in dubstep, while El-B and J Da Flex's "The Spooks," released under their Ghost alias on the eponymous label, goes all the way back to 2001's halcyon days of darkside garage. And the opening track, or rather a looped excerpt from it, has been a favorite of mine since I first heard it 19 years ago.

Eavesdropper took a nanoknife and made a refined slice of older and newer music, field recordings, reduced tones and shapes, harsh noise and vast rhythms. A selection of 17 tracks straight from the daily life. http://homepage.mac.com/dropper/t2x/Timecast_Eavesdropper.m4a Sun, 05 Apr 2009 16:22:37 +0200 Podcasting no 01:00:38
