ADE Special 2014 by Blueprint Media

FOREWORD ILLISTRATION 310K

Your Love... ADE14 approaches this year’s conference with one eye on the future, while ultimately saluting the past. Over the past 12 months we have lost such stalwarts as DJ Rashad and Frankie Knuckles: musicians who helped shape the very heart of what it is we all love and work towards. In their own right, both producers set new precedents for conceptual music, pushing paradigms and shaping new identities. It is safe to say, that without the work of Frankie Knuckles there would be no Amsterdam Dance Event. His work will be chiefly honoured throughout the festival. Amsterdam Dance Event is the annual occasion that brings people together. A time when names become faces and ideas become deals. With an expected crowd of over 350,000 attendees, ADE provides the perfect setting for artists to connect with fans new and old, allowing them to share and engage in new musical experiences; an opportunity to allow the love to spread. The festival, the biggest yet, is the culmination of a year’s worth of hard work and passion. Across the city you will discover various, multi-faceted elements of ADE, all of which are showcased throughout the magazine you hold in your very hands. Like the festival, the magazine is broken down into three sections. The Playground section lists the latest news and guides to all the festival’s daytime on-goings. The conference section takes you through ADE’s proelements, including in-depth interviews with conference speakers Duncan Stutterheim and Junkie XL, as well as an exclusive chat with ADE director, Richard Zijlma. Then there’s the festival itself (with over 2000 acts, 300 events and 80 clubs), which will be summarized in the final chapter of the magazine. Across these pages DJBroadcast pays recognition to this year’s country-of focus, Sweden, with a clubbing guide to Stockholm, while also motioning a nodof-the-head to long-serving Dutch legend, I-F. We welcome you with open arms to this year’s proceedings, and encourage everyone to show a little bit of love. Dan Cole

EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH

# Meet #martin. You can call him Hashtag, or even just #. He is one of the rising stars of DJB’s parent company Blueprint Media, and as his aptly chosen nickname suggests, he is in charge of everything social within Blueprint’s publishing department and agency. Our go-to guy when we want stuff to go viral, get high engagement rates, show content to specific audiences and all that jazz. # is a cool, life loving and caffeine fueled character with an entrepreneurial spirit who is always up for new stuff. Because of the fact it is hard to build a sturdy online profile by just retweeting, reblogging, regramming, and sharing, # has no other option than to partake in offline activities as well. His adventures in the real world don’t always end well though. Take last month, when # went cycling through his hometown Utrecht. When he saw a friend passing by and waved, his bag got caught between the spikes of his front wheel, resulting in a horrible face-plant and a shattered elbow. For now, he goes about doing his business with just one hand. We are happy to tell you though, his engagement rates are still on the rise. So give the man a retweet (and a hand!)

FREELOADER

Mid-October and Amsterdam turns into the electronic music Mecca of the world.

What is ADE?

The world’s leading electronic dance music event

The annual Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) is the world’s leading event for electronic dance music. Part conference for music industry professionals, part club festival hosting a panoply of dance music styles and genres, from hard-style to sonic avant-garde and everything in between, ADE caters to everyone who is interested in electronic music and club culture, professionals as well as aficionados. ADE Pro, the daytime conference for music industry professionals is linked to ADE Festival, five nights of performances by 2000+ DJs and acts, by ADE Playground, which offers a varied daytime programme of art, workshops, Q&A sessions, movies and pop-up events. For five days in October, ADE morphs Amsterdam’s fabled canal-covered cityscape into the very center of the global electronic dance music phenomenon.

ADE’s CEO Richard Zijlma has seen ADE grow from strength to strength. He muses: “Nowhere on our planet will you find a music festival or event that offers as many artists and a bill as varied as ADE’s. Electronic dance music is a subculture that cements millions and millions of people all over the globe. One of ADE’s aims is to profile the music in a constructive and positive fashion.”

Since its inception in 1996 (the embryonic version dates back to 1994) ADE has extended its programme year after year. The 19th edition is expected to be bigger than ever: 5000 music business professionals from some 80 countries are due to attend with 2000+ artists performing at over 300 events in more than 80 venues. All of this is seen and heard by an expected 350,000 visitors.

“The Amsterdam Dance Event creates a collective mindset for the global dance music scene,” says Zijlma. “It is the place to network and set up deals, to meet new potential business partners and to hear about new developments and trends. ADE offers a window of opportunity for everyone that is professionally involved in dance music - record companies, managers, agents and artists – and wants to make the next step.”

This year, the ADE Festival schedule is spread over five nights, with some daytime in-between. Since the last edition of ADE, the city of Amsterdam has licensed a select number of venues to practice a 24/7 door policy and as a result, the ADE Festival programme includes a number of events that open and close at unusual hours.

ADE PRO, THE MAIN CONFERENCE

ADE Pro, ADE’s main conference for music business professionals, covers the business side, with panels of top-ranking professionals, old hands next to young Turks; lectures by industry insiders; interviews with some of dance music’s most successful artists; and entrepreneurs sharing the secrets of their trade. It is located at ADE’s ground zero, the monumental, 18th century Felix Meritis building on Keizersgracht, and the adjacent style icon, the Dylan Hotel.

The digitization of culture and daily life is one of the ‘hidden’ core topics of this year’s ADE Pro, for the electronic dance music inevitably has to confront the consequences of new forms of production, distribution and consumption of music as enabled by digital technology.

25 WHAT IS ADE?

SERIES OF SUB CONFERENCES

Apart from ADE Pro, ADE breaks down into a series of sub conferences dedicated to various aspects of the industry. ADE Beamlab (at Pakhuis Willem de Zwijger) centres on all things visual: projections, moving images, light and stage design. Hard Dance Event (at De Melkweg) offers daytime conferences and nighttime shows relating to the harder variants of dance music. ADE Next, traditionally on ADE’s final conference day, Saturday, at ADE’s stomping ground. Felix Meritis, is a treasure trove of information for entrylevel DJs and producers. After last year’s introduction, ADE Green (at De Brakke Grond) focuses attention on the issues of a sustainable dance music industry and how to achieve that goal. The mission of ADE Green is to raise awareness of social issues that concern us all. Since the ADE Conference programme has proliferated and branched out into various sub conferences, admittance has differentiated accordingly: 1-day conference tickets are available next to 5-day conference tickets. “That way, visitors can opt for a dedicated program,” Zijlma says. ADE FESTIVAL INVOLVES OVER 80 CLUBS AND VENUES

ADE Festival is a five day and five night dance-a-thon for aficionados, staging every style, genre and subgenre at some 80 clubs and venues all over Amsterdam. From the Amsterdam ArenA and its stadium capacity to underground-oriented clubs like Studio 80 and OT301, the ADE Festival programme offers a staggering array

of styles and a mind-blowing number of reputed and upcoming artists. During the five days and nights of ADE Festival, over 2000 acts will perform at some 300 events at over 80 clubs and venues, attracting an expected 350,000 visitors who will be spoiled for choice. The ADE Festival offers sets and shows by Hardwell, Afrojack, Armin van Buuren, Martin Garrix, Chuckie, Nicky Romero, Dash Berlin, Henrik Schwarz, Oliver Heldens, Paul van Dyk, Paul Oakenfold, John Digweed, DJ Pierre, MK, Buraka Som Sistema, Speedy J, Josh Wink, Riva Starr, Sander van Doorn, Paula Temple, Maya Jane Coles, San Proper, Martyn, Zoot Woman, Claptone, Midland, Cinnaman, Adriatique, Karmon, Solomun, Dubfire, Modeselektor, Deadbeat, Laurent Garnier, Pete Tong, Will Saul, London Elektricity, Joost van Bellen, System 7, AFFKT, Atjazz, Maceo Plex, Sasha, Vladislav Delay, M.A.N.D.Y., DJ T, Goldfish, Wankelmut, Kraak & Smaak, Dave Clarke, Daniel Miller, Steve Rachmad, Carl Craig, Todd Terry, Hot Since 82, Joris Voorn, Ricardo Villalobos, Hercules & Love Affair, David Guetta, Finnebassen, Guy Berber, Joy Orbison, Nina Kraviz and many, many more – the aggregated bill includes over 2,000 artist, DJs and producers. The ADE x Samsung Home at Rembrandtplein functions both as information desk and central meeting point. It is the physical center of ADE Festival; it sells last-minute tickets and merchandising, and serves free magazines and goodies. ADE PLAYGROUND AND ADE CARD

ADE Playground centers on art, movies, gear, music talks and pop-up events, transforming Amsterdam’s downtown area into a, well, playground of dance music- and club culture-related infotainment. Compagnietheater and De Brakke Grond serve as hubs for ADE Gear: reputed tech manufacturers present a series of workshops, master classes, performances and demonstrations, including an introduction to the revolutionary 4DSound system. De Brakke Grond and Sonos Studio present ADE Music Talks, public Q&As with reputed artists, including Boy George, Junkie XL and Hans Zimmer. At various locations dance-related art exhibitions, documentaries on music and pop-up events with name DJs communicate the multi-faceted expressions of electronic dance music and global club culture. The ADE Playground program is free to holders of the ADE Card (€ 10), which can be purchased online at the ADE website and is for sale at ADE Festival Lounge. Richard Zijlma concludes: “Its organic growth is ADE’s forte. It is a pressure cooker of sorts that revolves around club music in all its variations.” amsterdam-dance-event.nl

The ADE x Samsung Home can be found throughout ADE at Rembrandt Square. sreporters.nl

AND THIS YEAR’S ADE BAG BELONGS TO... For regular attendees to Amsterdam Dance Event, one of the real highlights of registration is getting hold of the custom made, ADE bags.

TUNE INTO ADE RADIO

For the first time in ADE’s 19 year history, the electronic music conference will be taking over the airwaves with its very own broadcasting network. For this year’s edition, ADE plans to launch its very own radio station; ADE Radio. The electronic music radio station will be broadcasting live from the ADE x Samsung Home at the very heart of the conference at Amsterdam’s Rembrandt Square. During ADE, you can listen

to the best interviews, live-sessions, background stories, reports from the pop-up shows, industry talks and a wide variety of live-sets from the festival. ADE radio is available through the festival’s affiliate and partner stations across the world for all to hear. And if listening to the non-stop broadcast wasn’t enough, if you get yourself down to the ADE x Samsung Home you can watch the jocks and anchors at work.

INTRODUCING ADE MEMBERSHIPS: LET YOUR SOCIAL NETWORK GUIDE YOU With hundreds of events, thousands of artists and countless venues spread across the city, the prospect of navigating Amsterdam Dance Event can potentially be a rather bewildering one. To allay these fears, ADE will be introducing a new feature to their online platform for 2014: ADE Memberships. ADE Memberships allows users to synchronise their social network with the ADE website, letting you view which parties and events your Facebook friends are headed to and discover whereabouts your favourite acts and DJs are playing.

Open to conference participants as well, ADE Playground aims to spread the congenial and informal atmosphere of the ADE Conference to the city streets, bridging the mental and spatial gap between the dance professionals at ADE’s daytime hubs, Felix Meritis, the Dylan Hotel and the various sub-conference centres, and the audience that makes ADE’s club nights such a success. ADE Playground breaks down into five themes: Art, Movies, Gear. MusicTalks and Pop-Up. A fair share of the ADE Playground activities are freeentry, however, some are only open to ADE Card holders.

Bleep and Ninja Tune will be presenting a unique exhibition of artwork from their labels, in addition to a collection of artist portraits taken by esteemed photographer Shaun Bloodworth – well known for his work with Rinse FM, amongst others. Online video channel DontWatchThat.TV will be hosting a number of their “Beat This” sessions, live from the gallery – with artists invited to make a piece of entirely original music in just ten minutes. And as if all of this wasn’t enough, The Novation Gallery will be offering more limited edition merchandise giveaways and fresh coffee. novationmusic.com

PIONEERING PERFORMANCE AND MORE

Given their status as industry leaders, it should come as little surprise to hear that Pioneer will be making a return to ADE Playground in 2014. The Japanese tech giants are perhaps best known for their revolutionary “CDJ” series – an industry standard piece of equipment that has become synonymous with performance. Their recent unveiling of the PLX-1000 vinyl turntable signalled their first foray into that particular market, delivering high quality sound and

rugged functionality. Pioneer will be displaying not just the PLX-1000 but their full range of products - including the innovative RekordBox 3 software and DDJ-SX2 controllers - alongside workshops and masterclasses for any wouldbe superstar DJs in attendance. Representatives from the company will also be getting involved in one of the conference panels at the Felix Meritis. pioneer.eu

Bound to Print “This is our way of showing some love and respect for the scene we live in and live for,” is how event director Richard Zijlma describes ADE’s first book, which is intended to mark the start of a series of regular publications. The book supersedes the now defunct ADE directory, but is bigger in format and more ambitious in terms of its design and editorial scope. Its aim is to signal new developments in electronic music, and pay tribute to some of the people who have helped to light up Europe’s dance floors – musically, creatively and commercially – since the earliest days of dance culture.

official ADE photographer Krijn van Noordwijk and Dutch illustrators and artists Raymond Lemstra and Gijs Kast, known for their genre-defining sleeve art.

The book is also a celebration of almost two decades of ADE, as the event approaches its 20th anniversary. “That provided us with a good reason to look back and recognise some of electronic music’s pioneers,” Zijlma says. Examples include Amsterdam’s iconic RoXY club (photographed by Claude Crommelin), which set the template for partying in the Netherlands. “Back then the dance floor wasn’t that crowded, and the DJ didn’t get paid an insane amount of money,” Zijlma adds. Book designers Alex Slagter and Britta Möller of Maslow observe that, since the Netherlands has a strong tradition in design and photography, it seemed logical to also focus on the visual arts in the publication. Hence the inclusion of

The book also includes an interview with legendary DJ and ADE ‘family member’ Dave Clarke; a piece by Black Asteroid examining Prince’s influence on his work; profiles of seminal Dutch label Delsin Records and club king Olaf Boswijk, founder of Club 11 and Trouw; an insight into what DJs eat on the road; the back stories behind some of clubland’s best known guardians of the door; and Sweden’s contribution to electronic music.

Also featured in the publication is ADE NEXT, the event’s platform for young talent, both home-grown and international. “And last but not least, we wanted to recognise the genius that was Frankie Knuckles,” Zijlma says, pointing to the book’s centrepiece article by Dutch music journalist Gert van Veen (Quazar and the book Mary Go Wild). “Would we all be doing what we are doing today without Frankie? I doubt it.”

The ADE book can be purchased online, at affiliated pop stores at De Brakke Grond and the ADE x Samsung Home at Rembrandt Square, or at the new Mary Go Wild store (Zeedijk 44).

From London to Amsterdam:

Resident Advisor’s Tour-de-Techno Preceding this year’s ADE, the Resident Advisor team, along with a bunch of stoic music-type supporters, will be cycling from the media outlet’s London office to the heart of the very conference at the Felix Meritis, all in the name of charity. Their goal is to raise €100k for Bridges to Music, whose goal is to build a music school in Langa, Cape Town. DJB spoke with the event organisers and participants and picked the brains of a local-Dutch cycling expert to impart some advice. GETTING A GRIP

“Doing our bit for the wider community has always been on the company’s agenda,” says Resident Advisor’s Amy Van-Baaren, who came up with the charity cycling concept. “Music plays an integral role in our company, industry and livelihoods. To be able to help Bridges in their vision to build a self-sustaining music school and community space within a township in South Africa is something that we feel strongly aligned to, both as a company and as individuals.” The tour-de-techno stretches out over a period of four days, covering over 300 miles. “It’s the perfect distance to make it challenging but not impossible,” explains VanBarren. “We have a core team of internal staff who are working closely with cycle specialists to ensure this challenge is achievable and safe for everyone. This means we have three support vehicles, six support riders and a non-riding support team travelling with the 32 riders.” It won’t be easy though, as Van-Baaren confesses. “None of us have experience of long distance cycling, but I think that’s why it’s a challenge—most of my friends know I haven’t ever cycled further than the local shop!”

BIKE LIEBE

Along with the Resident Advisor staff, the bike-gang will be joined by select seasoned dance music combatants UNER, Luciano, Midland, Giles Smith, and German techno power-house, Chris Liebing. Just one look at Liebing’s bulking frame and it’s easily apparent that the herculean DJ will be the one who will struggle least with such a marathon challenge. “I don´t have any experience with long distance cycling, but I would say that I am in pretty good shape,” Liebing modestly states. “I will definitely cycle a bit more before the tour starts and I will tune my normal workout into a special routine for the cycle.” “When I was asked to join the project I did not really have to think much about it, because it combines adventure with a really good cause,” he adds. “Cycling from London to Amsterdam – when would ever you do that? It sounds like a once in a lifetime experience.” BORN TO BE WILD

So what can our intrepid wheeled warriors expect along the way? We spoke to a cycling enthusiast, who just so happens to be the owner of one of Rotterdam’s leading record stores, Clone: Serge Verschuur. “It mainly depends on the weather,” Serge advices. “100km with headwind on the Dutch coast is super heavy, especially if it’s rainy and cold. If they have a light breeze from the back with sunny weather then they’ll have a field day, especially if they don’t rush it too much and enjoy the landscapes.

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: SHAUN ROBERTS (FABRIC), GILES SMITH, HARRY AGIUS (MIDLAND)

“To be able to help Bridges in their vision to build a self-sustaining music school and community space within a township in South Africa is something that we feel strongly aligned to”

“Be prepared for bad weather, so make sure your kit is right and ready for rain. Other then that make sure you’ve done at least a couple of long rides. And very important... get an eating routine!” Joining Resident Advisor’s team is Trouw’s very own Olaf Boswijk. How does Serge think his compatriot will fare with such an arduous journey? “I hope he doesn’t underestimate it. I guess he’s doing what it takes to get ready for it. We’ll go on a ride together in the next week or so, so I’ll find out how he’s doing.” DIFFERENT GEARS

Finally, with so much A-list talent taking up the cause, DJB had to ask if Resident Advisor didn’t feel a bit overly conscious for their safety. What if Luciano had a biking accident, wouldn’t his management be extremely pissed? Van-Baaren knows what’s at stake here and her answer is as honest, as it is blunt, to which she replies, “Yes.” As if it wasn’t already obvious.

Uncovered: Behind the Sleeves An exhibition taking a look at the art of the album sleeve

The relationships we have with our favourite records extend beyond that of just listening to the music. In many cases, we connect with records through the artwork, from New Order’s minimalistic cover for Blue Monday through to Aphex Twin’s creepy Windowlicker. This year, nestled away in ADE Playground’s Art Route is an exhibition that pays respect to the record sleeve. Julia van der Meer, at Amsterdam’s Mini Galerie, has brought together some of the scene’s more innovative sleeve designers, in an exhibition that focuses on the disciplines that connect music and design. Throughout the week of ADE, attendees will be able to view the works of Erosie, Ekta, Graphic Surgery and more; artwork that has been used on the covers for releases by Martyn, Young Marco, Mo Kolours and others. None of the pieces selected for the exhibition were created digitally. Each portrait was originally hand-crafted for the sole purpose of portraying the aesthetic embodiment of the music. DJBroadcast takes a look at some of the highlights from the exhibition. Uncovered: The Art of the Album Cover is on display at Mini Galerie, Kinkerstraat 12A, from 12h – 18h daily.

ADE MusicTalks Stories In Person ADE MusicTalks is a series of Q&As with acknowledged artists. After road-testing the concept last year – Giorgio Moroder enthusing over his debut as a DJ – ADE MusicTalks goes full steam with interview sessions at De Brakke Grond and Sonos Studio. At the latter, the daytime sessions will be completed with a nighttime musical programme. Meet the music-makers close-up and hear them tell their stories in person. ADE MusicTalks is open exclusively to ADE Card holders only. On Thursday October 16th, and Friday, October 17th, De Brakke Grond welcomes George Alan O’Dowd, as his family knows him. More familiar to the rest of the world as Boy George, he rose to world fame in the eighties as singer of Culture Club. When the band folded, George reinvented himself as a DJ, founding the More Protein label. It is no surprise that the man whose band incorporated the words ‘Culture’ and ‘Club’ successfully bridged the gap between pop life and club culture (4 pm-5 pm, October 16th).

The remarkable career of Junkie XL – from industrial music to Grammy-nominated producer of Hollywood film scores, via an Elvis remix – will be clarified by the man himself. In the music business for almost a quarter of a century, Tom Holkenburg made the switch from rock to electronic music. After moving to Hollywood, he became an in-demand composer of soundtracks for games and movies, including the recent US box office hit, Divergent (2:30 pm-3:30 pm, October 17th). Speaking of in-demand Hollywood film composers, they don’t come more illustrious than Hans Zimmer, the Oscarand Golden Globe-awarded composer of over 100 film scores, including The Lion King, Gladiator and 12 Years a Slave, who, by the way, gave Junkie XL his first leg-up when Holkenburg settled in Tinseltown. The relation of sound and visuals is one of the topics Zimmer will shed light upon (4 pm-5 pm, October 17th). Apart from Boy George, the ADE MusicTalks’ programme

at De Brakke Grond on Thursday October 16th includes Sander van Doorn (NL), Chris Liebing (DE) and Showtek (NL). Friday’s programme is rounded off by young Dutch superstar DJ Nicky Romero and a mystery guest. ADE MusicTalks at De Brakke Grond are open exclusively to ADE Card holders. Please note: ADE MusicTalks are limited capacity; first come-first serve. SONOS STUDIO

Sonos Studio serves up a programme of in-store sessions, performances and Q&As. The acoustically designed space celebrates music listening and serves as the best place to experience The Sonos Wireless HiFi System. After proving its merits at last year’s ADE festival, the Sonos Studio pop-up will return this year at Mayer Manor, Nes 118 (just a short walk away from De Brakke Grond). The Sonos Studio explores the intersection of music, art and technology through creative collaboration by hosting intimate concerts, listening parties, film screenings, lectures, workshops and more. From Thursday October 16th through to Saturday October 18th, starting at 16:00, DJs and producers of name and fame will talk about their careers and life with (and in) music. The ADE MusicTalks will be followed by a series of performances, courtesy of Kompakt Records. The list of guests covers a wide range of music, from Henrik Schwarz and his collaborator in the ‘electronic music meets acoustic jazz’ set-up, Bugge Wesseltoft, to the space age afro-house of Black Coffee, the alias of the multi-awarded South African DJ Nkosinathi Maphumulo. The interviewees come from a wide-range of nationalities, illustrating the global appeal of electronic dance music and its staggering variety of styles. AUS Music-recording artist Midland (Harry Agius); the genre-defying duo from Berlin, Modeselektor, who manage to appeal to the likes of Radiohead as well as inspire internationally reputed courtiers; Lunice Fermin Pierre II aka. Lunice from Montreal, Canada; Kompakt-recording artist Kölsch (Rune Reilly Kolsch), who operates from – as you might have guessed from his name, which refers to his origins in local vernacular – Cologne; New York-based deep house producer Anthony Parasole; techno veteran Function (Dave Sumner), who also hails from the Big Apple; and relative newcomer in this context, Dauwd (Dauwd Al Hilali), who is a recent addition to the Kompakt roster. ADE MusicTalks at Sonos Studio are free entry. However, the capacity is limited, so first come-first serve.

ADE Pro

Face-to-Face In A Digital World “The Amsterdam Dance Event creates a collective mindset for the global dance music scene,” says ADE’s CEO Richard Zijlma. “It is the place to network and set up deals, to meet new potential business partners in person and to hear about new developments and trends in a world that is evermore digitally connected. ADE Pro offers a window of opportunity for everyone who is professionally involved in dance music – record companies, managers, agents and artists – and wants to take the next step.”

The ADE Pro panels cover a multitude of topics – from sampling to branding - focusing on the impact of the digitisation of daily life and culture, including dance music and its production, distribution, marketing and consumption. They will feature some of the music business’ most reputed players, such as Michael Rapino (CEO of Live Nation), film composer and Hollywood heavyweight Hans Zimmer along with Chris Stephenson, who is responsible for the branding of various SFX produced dance events.

ADE’s main conference programme traditionally takes place at Felix Meritis and the adjacent Dylan Hotel, in Amsterdam’s historical Canal Ring area. Expanding its appeal year by year, the 2014 edition will attract over 5,000 music business professionals from some 80 countries who assemble in Amsterdam to network, share knowledge and do business. For four consecutive days, Felix Meritis and The Dylan Hotel are a buzzing hive of interactive debates, inspiring Q&A sessions, networking facilities and matchmaking, featuring top industry speakers covering a wide range of business-related themes.

ADE 2014’s territory of focus is Sweden, the country that brought us a slew of international pop stars—think of Abba and, more recently, Avicii, Swedish House Mafia and The Knife. The Nordic welfare state is positioned in the vanguard of the digital revolution; the leading streaming service for music, Spotify, was conceived in Sweden. Furthermore, the rapidly expanding market for dance music in Asia will receive special attention at this year’s ADE. ADE Pro offers an excellent chance to meet potential business partners who are able to help open up new opportunities in these territories.

SHAPE OF THE FUTURE

ADE Tech, the module that centres on all things that used to spell ‘gear’ but now spell ‘app,’ has been fully integrated in ADE Pro for this year’s edition. A series of panels will discuss current and upcoming trends as well as future developments under the Shape of the Future banner. Moreover, ADE Pro will present a number of start-up companies in the digital domain that offer new and innovative solutions regarding the distribution and consumption of music. With the drop in sales of physical music carriers and the rise of streaming services eating into the profits of downloads, synchronisation is for many artists and producers, an increasingly valuable – and valid - source of revenue. Licensing music for use in video games, TV shows, commercials and movies has become crucial practice for many artistic entrepreneurs. The dos and don’ts, benefits and risks, potential traps as well as glories of sync music are the topic of The Hollywood Music Game and Music is not a Game, is it? panels. ARMIN INTERVIEWS JEAN-MICHEL JARRE

Switching from world-renowned DJ to exhilarated fan is Armin van Buuren, who will interview one of his longtime heroes and inspirations, Jean-Michel Jarre. Keynote speaker of ADE 2014 is Eelko van Kooten, CEO of Spinnin’ Records, the Amsterdam-based dance label that has an unparalleled track record of hit releases. Seth Troxler, Resident Advisor’s 2012 number 1, producer, remixer (from Jimmy Edgar to David Lynch) and head honcho of several new labels, will share his decidedly non-mainstream ideas and insights on the current and future state of electronic dance music.

In the How to Contact with Brands panel, Chris Stephenson, marketing chief of SFX, will talk about the opportunities for artists, DJs and event production companies in deploying their digital profile for the marketing of established brands. Various panels will tackle the issues concerning the role of managers and agents in the digital age. The label debate Life after the Death of Downloads will discuss the impact of the increasing digitisation of mass culture, while Global Club Culture aims to address current trends and novel opportunities in, you’ve guessed it, global club culture.

“It is the place to network and set up deals, to meet new potential business partners in person”

Q&AS WITH HEADHUNTERZ AND MARTIN GARRIX

Dutch Topjocks Headhunterz and Martin Garrix will spill the beans in Q&A sessions that sort the facts from the myth. DJ, producer and label owner, Willem Rebergen aka. Headhunterz started out in hardstyle and has evolved into a genre-crossing phenomenon. Composing official anthems for the Qlimax and Defqon.1 events as well as remixing (among others) Hardwell, Kaskade, Zedd and Nicky Romero, he earned himself a gold disc for his first US release, Colors (featuring Tatu), on Ultra. Headhunterz manages to mix hard with style indeed. After topping the charts in the UK, Holland and Belgium (as well as cracking the Top 5 in Australia, France, Spain and Germany, and selling over 1 million copies in the US), the career of Martin Garrix, 17 years of age at the time, went ballistic. Gearing up for his upcoming release with Afrojack, Turn up the Speakers, Martin will discuss what motivates him, who inspires him, life on the road and much, much more. BREAKING INTO THE UK AND USA

Since the early 60s, when The Beatles took Elvis Presley’s crown as the biggest act on the planet, the UK has been a powerhouse of pop music. A place in the UK charts is extremely hard and therefore prestigious.

ADE University ADE University is a forum that brings together some of the industry’s leading professional figures to impart their knowledge, wisdom and experience to the next generation of hopefuls. It provides an opportunity for students to learn about key facets of the music business and formulate ideas about their own careers and the future of the industry as we know it; it’s about networking, generating important discourses and developing an understanding of how to succeed in your chosen field. ADE University was in 2011 and has returned each consecutive year since, as a result of its success. This year it will be hosted at De Balie at Leidseplein. A focal point of the University’s activities is the ADE Global Intern program, whereby ADE gives five Dutch students the opportunity to work with a number of prestigious companies and festivals across the world. Each year, twenty-five students are handpicked from countless applications to present their pitch for why they should be selected for the scheme. The chosen five are to be announced on Friday 17th October, the University’s final day. ADE University’s schedule will be divided into three days, each with its own distinct theme. Wednesday (15th October) will be based around Marketing & Media, with speakers including Glenn Miller, head of entertainment media

partnerships at Facebook, and Chris Stephenson, chief marketing officer at SFX Entertainment. The Thursday (16th October) session will focus on Entrepreneurship, with insights provided by Sander Groet, co-founder of Amsterdam’s Club AIR, Tom Veldhuis from Apenkooi and Wall of Sound’s Mark Jones, who will be presenting a colourful talk entitled “From Pop Star to Label Head: How I Did It!” In addition to this, two of last year’s Global Interns - Maikel de Koning and Lobke Ruijs - will return to give talks alongside their respective superiors Shailendra Singh from Goa’s Sunburn Festival and Pedro Nonato of the Rio Music Conference. Friday’s (17th October) final session is to be concerned with Artist & Event Management. UK house DJ/producer Eats Everything is set to detail his rapid ascent to worldwide fame in “From Zero to Hero: the Eats Everything Story”, whilst further wisdom will be served by Eric Harle - owner of the Deutsche Englische Freundschaft agency, managing huge acts including Moby, Röyksopp and The Knife.

ADE Green: Promoting A Sustainable Dance Industry ADE Green is one of Amsterdam Dance Event’s newest features. Initiated by ID&T and ADE, ADE Green raises the topic of a sustainable dance music industry and how to achieve that goal. Industry experts and representatives from major dance festivals and dance events will discuss problems and best practices, aiming to kick-start a global Green Dance movement. Sustainability is an issue of ever increasing importance, as it touches upon the very foundations of our existence. The dance community has a global reach and can unleash imagination and passion like few other industries can. It produces role models and has a unique potential to guide society towards a more environmental-friendly future. ADE Green will discuss what problem the pioneers of sustainable practices encounter in their day-to-day business and how they have integrated the solutions to these problems in their business activities. For instance, clever waste management starts with a clear policy on what is offered by food & drink stalls at the festival site. In the Learn From The Trailblazers Panel, Artur Mendes, (Boom Festival, Portugal), Dede Fleming (Lightning In A Bottle, USA) and Claire O’Neill (A Greener Festival, UK) discuss their solutions to make festivals more ‘green’. They will be joined by representatives from the Burning Man (USA), Shambala (UK) and Mysteryland (NL) festivals.

RAISING AWARENESS

The Indoor Challenges And Solutions Panel will discuss mobility, green energy tariffs and audience communication with Henk van Raan (Amsterdam Arena, NL), Jet Hoevenberg (Sensation, NL) and Alison Tickell (Julie’s Bicycle, UK). The Influence Of The Artist Panel focusses on the variety of opportunities for artists to become involved in projects that promote and implement sustainable practices. Moreover, how artists can play a vital role in inspiring their fans to embrace sustainability. In the Journey of the Entrepreneur Panel, ID&T founder, Duncan Stutterheim and Carlijn Lindemulder, Sustainability Director of ID&T, will share their ideas and insights on sustainable entrepreneurship and how ID&T has used its brands to raise awareness and influence attitudes of party people vis-a-vis green issues. ADE Green will be opened by chairman of the day, Jakob Bilabel (DE), founder of the Green Music Initiative. ID&T and ADE present ADE Green: Wednesday, October 15th, de Brakke Grond, 12h - 18h. The event is accessible with an ADE 1-Day Ticket, or a 5-Day Conference Ticket. amsterdam-dance-event.nl/ade-green

Junkie XL

Video Killed The Radio Star Tom Holkenborg’s musical career has been as varied, as it has been illustrious. Better known as Junkie XL, the Dutchman’s catalogue ranges from production credits with 90s metal bands such as Sepultura and Fear Factory through to composing scores for box-office smash films. Not forgetting he also had a number one record, ‘A Little Less Conversation’ – a remix of the 1968 Elvis Presley single- that topped the charts in 24 countries. Today, Junkie XL is relishing his work as an in-demand soundtrack producer. DJBroadcast tracked down Holkenborg while adding the finishing touches to the soundtrack for Mad Max: Fury Road, the new blockbuster remake to be released in 2015.

Rise of an Empire. He also provided music for Kingdom of Heaven, The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury and DOA: Dead or Alive. But for the past 12 months, Holkenborg has been based in Sydney, working towards the completion of the forthcoming Mad Max movie. “It’s a very intense process with the director,” details Holkenborg. “He always wants to see different notes and ideas. It demands a lot of time and a lot of flexibility.” Holkenborg’s admiration for his work, beams through his words. He has arrived. “It really triggers a part of my creativity that I took for granted when I did all the other things.” LEAVE BEHIND YOUR EGO

DEALING WITH THE ROSTER

Many in the electronic music scene will be familiar with Holkenborg’s output; from his early days experimenting with breakbeats on Roadrunner, through to the contemporary club focussed 2012 Synthesized, which spawned the single ‘Take Off On Molly’s E.’ Some however, may not be as familiar with his film work. Holkenborg’s foray into the big screen kicked off towards the end of the 90s. “The first one I remember clearly that made a difference was the first Blade movie,” he says, regarding the use of Junkie XL’s ‘Dealing with the Roster’ in the movie. “I saw how it worked in the picture and it really baffled me. It sparked an interest that was sparked further when I got involved in the first Resident Evil and a bunch of movies in Europe in 97 and 98.” Holkenborg decided to delve further into the film world by moving to the states in 2003. “I took a back seat by assisting composers in LA by doing some programming and sample shopping and being part of the process and seeing how it’s done.”

Many artists nowadays see the move into film and gaming as one that can help counteract the declining revenues in music sales. Many at Amsterdam Dance Event will be curious as to how they can follow Holkenborg’s footsteps into the new line of work. “The most important thing is you need to stay who you are and don’t try to be anyone else,” Holkenborg advises any potential newcomers. “When something becomes hip, people try to be somebody else. It might be a commercial success for the short term, but the directors who you work with will go right through who you are as a person. For film composing, you need a sense of what needs to happen at a certain point in the picture. Your knowledge needs to be so extensive. You need to handle stress; you need to be a good manager of the project. It’s not for everybody.” RADIO JXL

With his schedule tied up, and his professional career tied to film, it looks like it could be the end for Junkie XL, the electronic musician. At least, for now.

It wasn’t soon after, that Holkenborg became part of Hans Zimmer’s production outfit. “He heard about me through the electronic music I had been making,” says Junkie XL. “He’d offered me to join his company. I refused the first three times, because I wasn’t ready for it and wanted to work on some stuff on my own. And then eventually he asked me to work on Madagascar 3, The Dark Knight Rises and Man of Steel – and that’s when I was like, OK.”

“The thing is, once you engage into film scoring, it takes over everything,” says Holkenborg. “You cannot do a movie like Mad Max and be on the road and go on tour; it’s impossible. The days are really long and very exhausting. We start at 7am in the morning and work between midnight and 4am. I couldn’t even know if I could scoot off and do a couple of gigs. It’s just impossible.”

In addition to working with Zimmer, Holkenborg has also composed the scores for Paranoia, Divergent and 300:

Junkie XL will be appearing at ADE MusicTalks on Friday October 17th at De Brakke Grond at 14h30.

Duncan Stutterheim CEO SFX Europe

‘DJs changed the dance scene, not us’ March 2013. SFX-owner Robert Sillerman pays $102 million in cash and stock to ID&T, the leading Dutch entertainment enterprise that was founded in the early 1990s. In exchange Sillerman received 99% of the shares. ID&T built an empire in the Netherlands with events like Sensation, Thunderdome, Trance Energy, Dirty Dutchand and Mysteryland and since 2005 Sensation has been held in several countries all over the world. In Belgium, Tomorrowland grew to be a gigantic multiple day event. But Stutterheim’s ambitions are far greater. We sit down with SFX’s CEO in Europe. ID&T wasn’t able to bring Mysteryland to the US and Tomorrowland to Brazil without a big investor backing them up financially, hence the collaboration with SFX. For the first time in his life Stutterheim is on a payroll – a payroll from a businessman who has knowledge of just about everything but dance music. Yet the past year was one of the most successful in the history of ID&T. Have you gotten used to your new position yet? The other day my wife said to me: ‘I’ve never seen you so calm’. I didn’t notice that myself. But apparently a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I’m having a great time. Of course, asking permission when I want to spend money takes some getting used to. That’s how the new system works. If I purely look at the numbers, we’ve had a very good year. What has changed for your staff since SFX took over? Details. Some partners left, Irfan van Ewijk (the ‘I’ in ID&T, red.) for instance. It’s not a company of friends anymore.

What I mean is did SFX make you cut down in, for instance, production costs? No, they don’t know anything about that. We are SFX, I am SFX. I am responsible for the details of our festivals and the kind of feeling I want to give to the company. As it turns out, we are quite knowledgeable, even on an international level. We haven’t switched suppliers, no stages have been changed and we mostly book the same DJs. What has changed, and I think this is important to tell, is that every major DJ moved to William Morris, an American booking agency. I’m not talking about the Tiëstos of this world; Richie Hawtin and Joris Voorn are a part of it as well. It’s the biggest and most important agency in the world. Why does that influence the dance industry so much? The fees have risen exponentially. Richie Hawtin now charges €100,000 per show since he joined William Morris. If you calculate what his revenue is, that’s the same as a huge band. When the game got tougher, I thought to myself ‘shit’. This industry is taking a different turn. In fact, it’s not us who are doing something revolutionary, it’s the artists themselves who started a revolution by joining these big agencies. Can you understand the criticism people have on SFX’s acquisition techniques? Yes, but what I would like to say, especially to people who are important to the scene I love dearly: don’t fear it too much. There will be plenty of parties that do not join that commercialized world.

84 DUNCAN STUTTERHEIM

The most important thing is: the public decides. If the public stops buying tickets it’s over. And that’s the way I see it. Our core business remains producing great events. You called SFX CEO Robert Sillerman one of ‘the most inspiring people you ever worked with.’ If I had to nominate five people, he would be one of them, yes. And you’re talking about the man that dresses up as a rapper and flips the bird to the media? [Sighs] That picture was taken as a joke by a co-worker. [Laughs] What do you want me to say? Do you want me to respond seriously about a joke from a co-worker that took on a life of its own? He is a brilliant fool? Absolutely. I think it’s an art. The way he professionalised his company at exactly the right time. What I failed to do in the Netherlands, taking that next step, he did it without a hitch. What did you fail to do? Find investors. We reached the top of our potential two years ago; there was no more growth. We couldn’t finance our parties anymore, let alone make our international ambitions happen. Why are your international ambitions so strong, where does the need to get bigger come from? It’s hard to explain. At the time, Sensation was held in over twenty countries. We were working internationally, but also wanted to go to America. This year we got to organize Mysteryland for the first time on the same terrain as Woodstock. I think that’s something special. If you look at the reactions to our parties in Chile, it’s unheard of. People there aren’t used to these kinds of things. Mysteryland is still our flagship festival in the Netherlands. Under the wings of Mysteryland lots of different music genres are being promoted. I truly hope that people who bought a ticket for Q-Dance’s hard dance stage will wander around the festival that day and end up in a total different area. That they are being captivated by something they haven’t heard before. That they stick around in the Bollywood area where obscure disco is being played. Such an experience can be life changing when you’re an 18-year old and that’s still the power of this music and culture for me. I want to inspire people. I think that people don’t realise that ID&T may have looked big, but the fact is that our own capital was €3 million. That means you can’t organize a festival abroad. It’s not that simple. The first year you lose several million, this year you hope to break even, the next year maybe a small profit. It’s an illusion to think that you can bring a festival abroad just like that; especially with the competition you have in America.

You are a regular at ADE, can you explain why this event is important for you? I’m so proud at the Amsterdam Dance event. I say that as a citizen of Amsterdam, as a dance music lover and as support to Richard (Zijlma, ADE-director). What he made out of this event is amazing. I live on the canals and when I see all those people walking it gives me goose bumps. Dance music culture has been fighting against prejudice for more then 20 years. Now the mayor of Amsterdam is handing out medals to the ADE-director. For five days this is the epicenter of electronic music. I spoke to Zijlma last week and he told me: ‘ADE is successful because you can close deals here’. He understands that really well and he is handling it in the right way. The Miami Music Conference is focusing more and more on the parties. ADE is all about good club nights but there is a super professional business side to it as well. You don’t find that at any other music conference, not at this level. A really large part of the international DJ community is in town, Seth Toxler will be you hamburger, while Armin van Buuren rocks the ArenA, we can go to an obscure Warehouse and during the daytime we close deals. You are also one of the regular speakers at the ADE conference. Don’t you feel the need to proclaim a less commercial message to all those young guys at ADE Next for instance? I encourage entrepreneurship. That’s what it’s about for me. I also give talks at schools because I like it. My message: you have to do it yourself. That brings me back to Dekmantel: the perfect example. Started out small, five years down the road they have their own acclaimed festival. Despite the fact there are 699 other parties. Go against the flow, believe in your own music, that is my message and it might be the most important lesson I want to teach. Don’t be afraid to quit your job. Go for the whole nine yards, or don’t do it at all.

“Don’t be afraid to quit your job” Duncan Stutterheim will be speaking at ADE Green at 12h on Wednesday October 15th.

Director Richard Zijlma ‘Prince of Dance’ Calling the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) a resounding success is an understatement. In thirteen years, it grew from a makeshift networking drink for the elite to the most important gathering for the international dance scene. The success of ADE can mostly be attributed to Richard Zijlma, the longstanding, somewhat unorthodox ADE-director. He’s the type that goes for worn-out sneakers and the just ‘out-of-bed’ look, but also has crystal clear ideas. The numbers Zijlma presents after years of building are impressive. Over 300,000 visitors, of which 5000 are music professionals, 300+ club nights on 80 different locations, 2000 DJs, a day programme that consists of multiple day conferences and ADE Playground; all of which help transform the centre of Amsterdam into a musical theme park. But there’s also criticism that ADE doesn’t give enough attention to alternative night culture. Last year there was an ADE demon-

stration on the Rembrandtplein, and there are voices claiming the conference is mostly about making money. DJBroadcast addressed these concerns and more with Richard Zijlma. ADE keeps on growing, is there a clear vision for the future? I don’t have a script, I wish I had. But on the other hand, that might make it too boring. Nobody could have predicted the growth we have experienced. That ADE has become so significant within this sector is great, but it is always dependent on the way the sector develops. So in five years time maybe the festival will spread out to encompass the whole week? That might well be possible. I was thinking to organize something like an opening drink on Tuesday this year. Most of our visitors are in town on Tuesday. If you get the chance to speak to 300 relevant people, you are going to need more than three days to set up all those meetings.

Making ADE an international brand is one of your top priorities. Why? Partly because ADE’s growth in Amsterdam has its limits. We are approached regularly by external parties with the question as to whether or not we want to join them. I’m reticent in that. You should be realistic as well. It took me thirteen years to build ADE and you can’t just start over at a different location. However, it’s true that the name ADE gives you an international advantage. That’s beneficial for young Dutch artists, because they can follow in our wake. In that respect these seem like exciting times for you. Dance music has exploded and the Netherlands is at the forefront, just look at the partnership between ID&T and SFX. How do you view this? Dance used to have something almost cultish. These days people go to a dance party one week, and to a pop concert the other week. It’s an interesting development. The fact that SFX chose ID&T shows how professional the Dutch scene is. Do you see this in the change of visitors coming to the conference? It was two years ago when I first saw investors at ADE. I don’t know much about that business, but those guys have chequebooks of around 500 million in their back pocket. Dance started to become interesting for them two years ago. Why did you give your heart and soul to dance culture? I’m originally from the pop/rock scene. I organized more events in my life, but the dynamics of this scene really spoke to me. If you look at the Dutch indie scene, it is super complicated. You can’t just take it to the next level. That has got to do with language barriers, costs: If your band has to play abroad you have to book five tickets and hotel rooms instead of one. The chance to work a different market is smaller. Logistics are essential, that’s why that scene is completely different. The dance scene was completely unorganized from the start but totally independent. The traditional promoters let all that potential slip by. And you thought that potential was interesting? Very interesting. It was a sum of all parts, and the successes we celebrate now is the result of that. With a few exceptions it was impossible to have a worldwide hit for Dutch artists. That’s different now. John Ewbank has a worldwide hit with Armin van Buuren. I think that’s extremely interesting. I expected a passionate plea about club culture and electronic music, but I’m confronted by my own tunnel vision. You view this world in a completely different way; I don’t think many other people do so. No, but they don’t have to, right? Each year we have a lot of interns at ADE. I’m always curious who’s going to ask which questions. Who asks the why question? That’s the most interesting in my opinion. Aside from your analytic viewpoint: earlier you said dance has an important cultural and social value. Can you explain that?

I think electronic music enriches all our lives. The way it connects people is unheard of. People are telling each other stories from all over the world. It’s an incredibly positive scene, and that serves the greater good. It took a while before this perception got recognition from traditional media, but it’s getting better. Paul McCartney had to wait a long time before he got the title Sir. The same applies to the dance scene, we still have a lot of work to do, but we’re taking big steps forward. We want to reach a higher level, and we are achieving this by being aware and sustainable in our business. Not just with words, but with our policies. Don’t you think that the conference would have a bigger impact if it gave more room to the alternative club scene? If you look closely at the programme you can see there’s definitely room for the outskirts of dance. It’s about the blend. Also, a lot of those parties do their own thing. They don’t want to be at ADE. And that’s fine. But… The way you say it… It’s definitely not my intention to say to those young talents: you have to make a hit tomorrow. Maybe we should finetune that part of the conference. You added Rieks Bakker as a program developer of the conference. That is promising because he is the agent of artist like Hunee, Alden Tyrell and Antal (Rush Hour); he works the other side of the coin as well. That’s right. I also want Rieks to go the other direction. The conference programme has to be balanced as well. I regularly have discussions with parties like those, and we as ADE see that in the top 100 from Resident Advisor there’s only two Dutch DJs and that they view electronic music in a completely different way. We also see how South By Southwest operates. I want to go in that direction with ADE, but it’s important in which context you present it. But there’s a lot to gain, you’re right in that. That‘s reassuring; I always felt this part was ignored a bit. If you sift all the so-called credible from the ADE conference programme there’s still plenty left. As a matter of fact, if you sift according to your own taste or preferences, there’s still a fantastic event left. It exists next to each other; that is the beauty of ADE. Are you heading into the night during ADE yourself? [Laughs] Yes, it’s terrible. I sleep about four or five hours a day. That’s important, or else I get cranky. Someone once called me the prince of dance. I thought that was a nice title. The work is quite the same: visit as many places as possible, shake hands, and move on to the next location. I try not to stay anywhere for more than fifteen minutes. In the end, it’s always vexing because I didn’t get to speak to everyone.

ADE Festival Has it All (…well, almost) The ADE Festival is the biggest in-door electronic dance music event on the planet. Over five nights, it presents artists and parties in every conceivable sub-genre of club music: 2000+ artists and some 300 events at over 80 venues around Amsterdam. ADE Festival features top-drawer names as well as an impressive selection of upcoming talent and celebrated underground acts, converting the city of Amsterdam into the planet’s pulsing number 1 hotspot of club life – at least for five nights in October. For the 2014 edition, ADE Festival expects more than 350,000 visitors. Boasting a 40,000+ capacity, the Amsterdam ArenA is the biggest venue of the Amsterdam Dance Event. On Saturday, October 18th, it is home to AMF (the Amsterdam Music Festival), which offers a saliva-inducing line-up, that includes, among others, Hardwell, Armin van Buuren, David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Dash Berlin and Wildstylez.

DIGITAL MEETS IMPROV

A staggering array of Amsterdam clubs are involved in the ADE festival programme – all are detailed on the ADE website, including their lineups – so even a calculated grab does not do justice to the variety on offer. Nevertheless, here goes: Club AIR, one of Mokum’s high-profile clubs, does a wonderful job of balancing mainstream appeal and quality control, as expressed through their ADE programme: Sander van Doorn presents Doorn Records (Wednesday, October 15th), All Gone Pete Tong (Thursday, October 16th) and Defected in the House, with Hercules & Love Affair and many more (Friday, October 17th). Amsterdam’s hotspot for contemporary music, jazz and improv, Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ, in co-operation with

Boiler Room, present a thrilling collaboration: Berlinbased DJ and producer Henrik Schwarz teaming up with Norwegian pianist Bugge and Swedish stand-up bass giant Dan Berglund for a performance that integrates digital programming and acoustic improvisation (Wednesday, October 15th).

It is the location for the Big Tittie Surprise Episode II: Dolphin Flight, Seth Troxler’s house extravaganza that includes Kerri Chandler, Jackmaster, Harvard Bass and William Kouan Djoko. Bring vitamins and expect to be comefuzed (Saturday, October 18th). EYE CATCHERS AND EAR GRABBERS

At EYE, Amsterdam’s, eh, eye-catching film institute, BAUHAUS host the much-appraised and highly anticipated audio-visual Hybrid show by R&S recording artist Paula Temple and award-winning visual artist Jem The Misfit. The spectacle for ears and eyes is hailed as an integrated experience of immersive visuals and full sonic impact. Hybrid is bookended by a special downtempo performance by Mark Maenad and an after party with BAUHAUS residents DJs and international headliners, including Paula Temple (Friday, October 17th). The Gashouder at Westerpark is an industrial landmark and the perfect location for techno and trance events. The trance label Armada present a cross section of its label roster, among others Andrew Rayel, GAIA and Cosmic Gate (Wednesday, October 15th). Gashouder is the base of operations of the renowned Awakenings techno events and its ADE Festival programme covers a wide spectrum: Drumcode with Adam Beyer, Alan Fitzpatrick and more (Thursday, October 16th); Joris Voorn and friends Hot Since 82, Joran van Pol, Maya Jane Coles and Pan-Pot (Friday, October 17th); and Electric Deluxe with, among others, Speedy J, Len Faki and Nina Kraviz (Saturday, October 18th).

MARY GO WILD STORE Last year, to celebrate 25 years of Dance music in the Netherlands, several of the folks involved with the ADE festival got together to release a book that chronicled the evolution of Dutch rave. Mary Go Wild is the definitive history book for electronic music’s growth throughout the country, featuring images from some of the most respected Dutch journalists. This year, the same team behind that very tome have gone one better and opened a book store of the same name. Mary Go Wild can be found on Zeedijk, in Amsterdam’s Red Light District. Alongside a wide selection of music books, the store also stocks postcards, t-shirts, photography and most importantly, vinyl. As esteemed publishers, Mary Go Wild will also play host to events throughout the year, such as book launches, film nights and signings. “When the book came out last year, there was already the idea of a corresponding physical location,” states Arne van Terphoven, editor of the book and co-founder of the store. “We were busy with other things at the time, but the seed was already planted.” Mary Go Wild store, Zeedijk 44 1012BA Amsterdam, Tuesday - Saturday 12h to 19h marygowild.nl

Crème Organization He seems reluctant at first, but Jeroen van der Star, aka. DJ TLR, eventually agrees that the moves of his Crème Organization label these past twelve months positively reek of optimism. “I think, deep down, I am kind of optimistic,” he admits down the line from The Hague. “It doesn’t have to be so heavy. At the end of the road, it’s a bunch of clowns in the entertainment industry. [We’re] not doing anything that’s worth that much to society as a whole... it’s art. It just has to be good.”

97 CRÈME ORGANIZATION

Not being good has never really been an issue throughout Crème Organization’s 14-year history. There may have been a moment in the mid-2000s, after the label was unfairly lumped in with the soon-to-burst bubble of electroclash, where the sheen of coolness dulled for a spell, but by then the label was already engaged in numerous healthy long-term relationships: with fellow west coast analogue freaks Legowelt and Orgue Electronique, Italo disco OG Alexander Robotnik, and the acid and jakbeat obsessives James T Cotton and D’Marc Cantu (aka 2AMFM). Crème Organization is now considered one of the founding misfits of so-called ‘outsider house’, and this last year in particular has witnessed an energetic burst of restlessness. Beginning with the launch and rapid-fire release schedule of the R-Zone sub-label (anonymous, unashamed rave revivalism), next came van der Star’s partnership with Croatian Mario Novak to open Pitch, a DJ-centric record store in Zagreb, Croatia (the first such store to operate in the Balkans since the 1990s). Then the announcement of Crème Organization’s Valley of Shadows series; In essence, Valley will invite releases from like-minded label pals into the Crème Organization fold wholesale - the guest label’s music, artists and even the artwork will be produced, effectively disrupting the distinct tongue-in-ghoul-cheek aesthetic of Crème Organization’s inhouse artist Godspill, who has been with the label since the beginning. A label with less of a secure foundation might view this as counterintuitive to defending their patch, but van der Star is content to not fuss too much about what he can’t control, as long as it feels - and sounds - right.

The first Valley of Shadows release is imminent, in collaboration with M>O>S Recordings, as is the second with the artist Scientific Dreamz Of U via the Berceuse Heroique imprint. A third Valley release will take the form of various artists compilation from L.I.E.S. label, due out around the time of ADE, and these guest spots will roll out alongside regular Crème Organization transmissions from Marquis Hawkes, DJ Haus, Innershades and Photonz. As for the label’s 15th-anniversary year, there are no set plans yet, and van der Star’s aspirations remain modest as ever. “I just hope for survival to be honest,” he says. “I don’t have any lofty goals in mind, I just hope that it will be as cool as it is now. Everything is going the way I like it.” DJ TLR plays the Crème vs. LIES event at Studio 80 on Friday 17th October.

Clubbing Guide to Stockholm As Sweden has been elected country of interest at this year’s ADE Conference, DJB decided to look a bit closer at its clubbing capital, Stockholm. Dubbed ‘Venice of the north,’ Stockholm spans 14 adjacent islets, with a geographical and cultural divide, best likened to that of London’s West End vs. East London. Östermalm, the city center, provides an upscale shopping district by day and a polished playground of glitz by night, whereas Södermalm in the south, the former working-class district, houses the city bobos, with a wealth of quirky bars and cafes.

were 3-4 ‘black clubs’ (i.e. clubs without licenses) playing techno and house every weekend, but were closed down by the police,” Schneider states. ”When Pluto and the legendary Kruthuset were shut, I think the other clubs in town realised that there was a demand and started focusing more on this type of music.”

Johanna Schneider takes care of bookings at Under Bron together with Leo Forssell. “There was a time where there

The electronic music scene has been brewing for some time, under the lead of a select few clubs, creatives and entrepreneurs, who have balanced the licensing issues and strict alcohol laws with a trend-sensitive, somewhat fragmented Stockholm crowd. DJB has listed some of Stockholm’s leading house and techno haunts below, straddling the city’s north and south divide.

BERNS – GALLERY 2:35.1 BERZELII PARK

TRÄDGÅRDEN / UNDER BRON HAMMARBY SLUSSVÄG 2

Spread across several floors, the impressive Berns complex dates back to 1863 marrying 19th century romance with modern design, comprising of a hotel, chandelier-lit pan-Asian restaurant and several bars. The main ballroom caters to mixed music styles, while the basement club 2.35:1 is where underground house and techno prevails. The room gives off an industrial Berlinesque vibe, equipped with a rotating ‘door-gorilla’ and Funktion-One wall owing its current artistic expression to Martin Kling, the Entertainment Manager of seven years. Everyone from hipster to fashionista, model and yuppie are rubbing shoulders here. Ben Klock, Zip and Jeff Mills have frequented the club, together with local residents.

Under one of Stockholm’s southerly bridges you will find Trädgården; the summer hangout of adjoining club, Under Bron. Each summer it attracts over 170,000 guests from all over the world. Here you can enjoy morning boule tournaments, BBQs and a market while listening to the Daytime Sessions, who have hosted the likes of Radio Slave, Nina Kraviz, Todd Terje, Carl Craig and Sonja Moonear. Come nighttime, Under Bron opens its doors. The ground floor contains an art gallery, two dancefloors and a small terrace. Upstairs you will find a disco room, a bar with mixed music and another terrace. The club, Forssell explains, is for “Discogs-fanatics, dance freaks, art students and people that are open to things out of the ordinary.”

MARIE LAVAEU HORNSGATAN 66

F12 TERASSEN FREDSGATAN 12

Easily spotted with its characteristic pink neon sign, Marie Lavaeu is a popular watering-hole, entertaining the afterwork crowd upstairs. Downstairs the tiled graffiti-littered walls and low ceilings make you think for a split-second that you have left Stockholm. Sweaty and gritty, the club attracts hipsters and an otherwise eclectic crowd who like to ‘get down’ on the dance floor. The club’s music policy has gone from harder electronic beats, with guys like DJ Spinn, DJ Rashad and Abdulla Rashim, to warmer house, disco and soul sounds.

Joining forces back in 2007, the three entrepreneurs Mattias Hedlund, Jens Segrén and Andreas Höistad had never anticipated that what started out as a terrace with a BBQ, would turn into one of town’s most hyped summer clubbing experiences. A landmark victory was attaining the all-important 5am license, which only a few places in Stockholm can brag about. Inviting different promoters to host their nights, F12 has seen Dixon, Henrik Schwarz, Matthias Tanzmann and the Martinez Brothers take to the decks.

FOTOGRAFISKA, F 1-6 STADSGÅRDSHAMNEN 22

SLAKTHUSET SLAKTHUSGATAN 6

The same creative minds behind F12 Terrassen are also behind the F 1-6 concept event series. Held in the museum for contemporary photography, Fotografiska, it offers a huge space and a blank canvas to play with. The guys do not hold back with visuals, lasers and smoke machines, building the nights around three to five international artists, supported by some of the most current Swedish talent. Artists in the past have included Josh Wink, Seth Troxler, Theo Parrish, Todd Terje and Genius of Time. This autumn marks the third and final season, as F 1-6 enters The Final Chapter.

Stockholm’s version of New York’s meatpacking district, Slakthuset has had mixed reviews in the past. But with a newly-kitted Void soundsystem and a myriad of new and eager promoters, the 2014 season invited everyone from Rødhåd, Len Faki, Surgeon and Shed to Black Sun Empire.

Spotify: MainStream Music “I’ve always found the dance community to be among the most engaging,” says Mark Williamson, director of the Artist Services team for Spotify in Europe. DJBroadcast reached out to Williamson prior to ADE, to talk about dance music’s relation with the platform.

103

Williamson says the dance sector is particularly well positioned to take advantage of the platform’s possibilities; by its very nature, dance music has been an early adopter of new technology, with a huge assortment of innovative and tech-savvy artists and labels having already shown their canniness for adopting new distribution models in the digital era. “In a lot ways, dance music has traditionally been really poorly monetized, certainly following the growth of the Internet,” he says. “A lot of the streams prior to Spotify were coming from services that were either poorly monetized, or not monetized at all; online radio and piracy for instance. A lot of dance music has been focusing largely on generating revenue through DJing, and that’s where Spotify has been really beneficial, as it’s introduced this more legit way of generating royalties from streams. So I think that’s meant that dance music has been quicker to embrace Spotify than other sectors.” Nonetheless, in a similar fashion to that we have witnessed across the wider industry, there have been many loud voices decrying the unfairness of payouts from services like Spotify; the most prominent example being UK dance brand Ministry of Sound, who withheld its catalogue from streaming platforms for years. However, after an “amicable’ out-of-court settlement was reached early this year, Ministry eventually brought its back catalogue to Spotify for the first time. Williamson says it’s a great “hole to be plugging” in Spotify’s selection, and says its indicative of the wider industry gradually being convinced of streaming’s potential. “It’s a process,” he told DJBroadcast. “We’ve created this new way to listen to music, which also needed an entirely new way of paying for it. Like iTunes before us, like vinyl, like cassette… all these things took a little while to get used to. We’re getting into a better position now, mainly because we’ve done a better job of explaining how it all works. This is a model where the more it grows, the more money we will pay out in royalties. The amount of money Spotify has paid in royalties has grown incredibly year on year. Last year alone we paid out $500 million, and that will be significantly more again this year. And ultimately, the only way we’ll change minds is by paying out large amounts of money, and by paying people for their art.” While Ministry of Sound was initially slow to come to the table, Williamson points to Dutch players Spinnin’ and Armada as examples of dance brands who embraced streaming from the beginning. Both offer elaborately

curated radio-style streaming services on Spotify, while Armada co-founder Armin van Buuren has leveraged the platform arguably more extensively than any other highprofile DJ in dance music. Recently cracking the 1million follower mark, every week his 2-hour A State of Trance is licensed and streamed in its entirety, with a huge back catalogue of the shows now available for listeners to stream whenever they choose. “The A State of Trance radio show has incredible engagement, its probably one of the biggest and most engaged playlists on Spotify. There’s a lot of DJs who’ve demonstrated their talent for building engaging playlists. The space is primed for it, but they’re also leading the way with it”. While the process of streaming a weekly radio show on Spotify poses significant challenges in terms of licensing and resources, Williamson points out that there are less intensive options also available. DJs can create a more straightforward playlist for their show that includes the tracks that have already been licensed; the ‘hot off the press’ remixes can be added later when they’re available, and audio snippets from the show can also be added for that extra touch. Williamson says this represents the start for how we’re going to be seeing DJs leverage the platform in the future. He believes the next big developments will come from recreating live performances for fans around the world; while recording and streaming DJ sets will pose similar challenges in terms of licensing the unreleased tracks that tend to feature heavily in DJ sets, there’s again a more simple option available already in terms of regular playlists. “I think there’s a real opportunity going forward for DJs and producers to engage with their fans on Spotify, creating that connection between the live experiences, and bringing it to people who can’t make it to the superclubs in Ibiza or Vegas. You can play a show at Pacha on a Friday night, and minutes later you can have a playlist in the hands of a fan in Poland. It’s another way you can get beyond your last studio record and connect with your fans more regularly.”

Zouk Club

The Asian Pearl Lives To Fight Another Day “It was intimidating. For many of us that had never gone partying before, Zouk was the place to go the minute you were legal,” said Sofie Chandra, a Singaporean who now works as Zouk’s head of business development. “It had an aura about it of grandeur and importance.” For many, Zouk is the best and most important club in Asia. Though Japanese clubs, like Tokyo’s Womb for instance, may carry more cultural cachet for their experimental and Europhile bookings, Singapore’s Zouk is a dance music powerhouse unmatched in Asia. Opened in 1991, the club has been a leader in bringing house music culture to Asia via its Wednesday Mambo Jambo nights and today, is an inevitable tour stop for the world’s most successful DJs. “[Zouk is] a vital, creative and experimental club that has been the cornerstone of electronic music in Asia,” said Pete Tong “and has contributed so much to club culture in the region.” But earlier this year it looked like the twenty-three year old club, which DJMag named the fifth best club in the world in 2013, would close its doors at the end of 2014. Though the club has since announced it will remain open for now, at the beginning of the year Zouk had announced that Singapore’s Urban Redevelopment Authority, the government body previously responsible for renewing the club’s lease every three years since 1990, might let the lease run out. This went against the recommendation of the Singapore tourism board, which saw Zouk as a powerful tourist attraction and had lobbied for Zouk’s lease renewal each time the previous lease had expired. Zouk used the threat of closure as an opportunity to rally support from its most visible supporters: international DJs and Singaporean media personalities. Both testified publicly via Twitter and on the Save Zouk website to Zouk’s importance and necessity in Singapore and Asia. “I have had many great nights playing at Zouk Singapore including this one all the way back in ’98 recorded for Pete Tong’s

Essential Mix,” said DJ Carl Cox. “I was very sad to hear that this clubbing institution is being threatened with closure.” Though DJ George Fitzgerald didn’t have as long a relationship with the club, he said in a video recorded for Save Zouk, “It’s such a special place. It’s got a very dear place in my heart and I want to carry on going back there for many years to come. “ The entire Save Zouk campaign was organized around a petition which received about thirty-nine thousand signatures in addition to having everyone from Hardwell to Sasha tweeting #SaveZouk. In the end, the campaign was a success and the club’s lease has been extended until June 30th, 2015. If Zouk is able to secure a new location by that date, that lease will be extended one final time and the club can remain open at its current Jiak Kim Street location until the end of 2017. A spokesperson for the club said that Zouk currently has its eye on the open theatre near the Singapore flyer, a giant riverside Ferris wheel four kilometers down Singapore’s eponymous river from Zouk’s current location. The city of Singapore never disclosed why it wants Zouk out of its current neighborhood, but many speculate that this is an issue of gentrification. Dennis Foo, who owns St. James Power Station, a Singapore nightclub complex, wasn’t surprised that the Urban Redevelopment Authority might not have allowed Zouk to stay. “The value on that real estate has really skyrocketed,” Foo told Singapore newspaper Today. Though the real estate might have been cheap when Zouk was built a quarter century ago, the river front property currently exists within an area of attractive residential real estate. The club has clashed with its residential neighbors in the past few years, facing complaints about noise and local loitering and littering. An area resident told AsiaOne, “It’s quite common that I see vomit at bus stops and broken glass bottles on the pathways.”

105

Many partiers purchase drinks from the nearby convenience stores before going inside the club or drink on the street after leaving. The past few years Zouk and its operators have done everything they can to address these issues and make peace with the neighborhood, but to no avail. The club employs six cleaners each night who clean outside the club, the riverside pavements, and the nearby Kim Seng Bridge. Zouk has also supported measures to ban public drinking and offered unsuccessful promotions to get those drinking on the street into the club.

Throughout the conference, ADE will be organising series of highly focused, country-specific panels focusing how the electronic scenes in the far East Asian region are developing.

Though Zouk seems to have outgrown its old home, its newly granted lease makes clear that the city of Singapore considers Zouk an asset that will continue to be a part of the city’s vibrant nightlife landscape.

Laurent Garnier Rebel with a Cause

Hearing Laurent Garnier talk about music is like listening to a father talk about a newborn child. There is a fire in his voice; a palpable passion. Last month, DJBroadcast spoke to Garnier about what keeps him going, a special release project and lessons in life by Derrick May. In 2013 Laurent Garnier celebrated his 25th year as a DJ. In all those years he gained a legendary reputation, forever pushing the boundaries of techno and himself as a musician and DJ. During his 26th, he reinvented himself yet again, releasing five EPs on five different labels in five different countries in little over five months time. The Parisian legend accompanied these with a set of digital journals (Le Journal de Garnier), to tell the story of how each release came into existence. “My albums have always been filled with lots of different music and I found that people are quite monomaniac these days. They like one style, and don’t really like to stray. They think that Laurent Garnier is ‘Crispy Bacon’, or ‘The Man With The Red Face’. That is just a slice of who I am. An album is a representation of who I am. Techno isn’t the only thing in my life. I listen to loads of stuff, that’s why my albums are so eclectic.” Garnier decided he needed to focus his music in the right places. He approached five labels he loves (Still Music, Musique Large, 50WEAPONS, MCDE and Hypercolour) and asked them to be part of his project. “You know, at first it was hard to convince them. Nobody ever asked to do something like this. I had to explain that their release was as important as the others. But after Jerome (Derradji, of Still Music) said ‘Yes! Yes! Yes!’, everybody soon followed. And it worked! Isn’t this just a better way to release an album? Those thirteen tracks together make an album, but I think if I would have put them all together in one home, it wouldn’t work as well as it has.” At the end of the year, a sixth (and for now still secret) release will round up the project. WHISTLE

On the fourth release (on MCDE) he remembers the life of the late Frankie Knuckles, one of Garnier’s biggest influences. “Without Frankie, playing that music to the kids of Chicago at that time, things would not have happened the

way they did.” the Parisian says. “He helped to get people get released. Take Derrick May. He gave ‘Strings Of Life’ to Frankie, Frankie played it and the crowd went wild. He said: ‘Derrick, you’ve got to release this shit man.’ He was like the key you put in the ignition; a centre of gravity, the first bricks that they put on the floor to build a house. A warehouse, haha!” In turn, Derrick May changed a lot of things in Garnier’s life. He met May six months after his first release as French Connection in Paris. “I drove him to his hotel after a gig. He came out of my car, I gave him my record and I said: ‘Listen Derrick, you may not have it, here is my record. I made it for fun.’ He stopped and looked at me and he said: ‘Laurent, we never, ever make records for fun. In thirty years time, when you have a son, this will be his heritage. This is going to be his vision of you. If you make a shit record for fun, your son will think: my dad is not a serious person.” Garnier’s voice exudes a seriousness that undoubtedly approaches the fierceness in May’s gaze at the time.

“I drive my manager crazy with my uncertainty” Derrick May opened Garnier’s eyes; his advice lurking over his shoulder with every move. “I’ve never said ‘yes’ for fun anymore. It is why I work ten, twenty hours to prepare for DJ sets. I work my ass off, night and day. What I give, is what I can do. I have to do my best and try hard every time. If I have a bad gig, it is the worst thing. Two or three of those in a row and I just want to stop everything. I drive my manager crazy with my uncertainty”, he says laughingly. 26 years in the game and Garnier can still be as insecure as a rookie who is playing the small room for the first time. “I think it is because one day I will have to say: ‘that’s it. I’ve done my share.’ Sentences need a period, you know. You can’t start a new chapter without them.” Laurent Garnier plays Welcome To The Future at HYTE Warehouse on Thursday October 16th.

A State of Magda August is Magda’s busiest time of the year. Getting hold of the Polish-born DJ was a lot harder than expected, but in the end DJBroadcast was able to corner the prominent star after a weekend of extensive touring. With so many irons in the fire; several new collaborative projects including DTR, Cornerbred, and developing a custom controller, in addition to the ever-expanding world of Items & Things, there was so much to catch up on. CORNERBRED

Alongside production and creative partner Baby Vulture, aka. Berlin based artist Daniela Huerta, Magda has been investing her free time in a new collaborative foray into the more avant-garde sounding universe, through the Cornerbred pseudonym. “We realized we work well together and have really similar taste,” Magda states about the project. “Dani is more into experimental music, and I’m really into obscure disco, electro, techno or other electronica, so we decided to make a mix for fun.” To date, Cornerbred have just a few mixes, some tracks and a DJ show in Helsinki, to their name. The overall musical direction has taken the two into a much more varied, broader and eclectic place – with a sound that is informed as much by music concrete or pioneers like Jon Hassell or Terry Riley, as it is by contemporary artists such as Andy Stott. “We search for interesting sounds which don’t fall into a particular category but are rather interesting. It could come from jazz, electro, techno, experimental electronica, or even classical music”. The goal however is to expand the project and take it much further. “Dani’s experiments with multimedia are something which really interests me. I would like for us to continue developing those ideas because we are a good team” states Magda. “I need those things in my life. I don’t want to just DJ. I’ve done that long enough – gradually slowing down is good. “Sometimes if you tour too much, it’s easy to get stuck in a bubble or a repetitive cycle which leaves little or no time to think or feel or explore your other creative sides”.

THE SECOND ALBUM

Several interviews in the past have alluded to a forthcoming second solo album; a follow up to the 2010 record, From The Fallen Page, released on M_nus records. “Sometimes I feel that I get ahead of myself and I don’t realize how much time everything takes,” Magda confesses. “So I decided not to say, ‘I’m going to record a second album by this and that [date]’ because then I get stressed. I’m recording as much as I can, when I can. If an album comes, then that’s great.” One of the biggest things to have changed recently for the techno star was to finally establish a studio to record in; “I was without a studio for two years,” she acknowledges. “Finally this year I had a month off and I figured out how I wanted to record and how I wanted it to flow. Now it’s super fun and I want to be in there all the time.” Magda also has another studio, hidden away in a secluded part of Poland; high up in the mountains in a serene locale, away from the hustle and bustle of modern DJ life. “It has such a calm vibe, and gives me another kind of mentality. I feel relaxed there and hear things differently. “ As with her Cornerbred collaboration, Magda’s sound is incorporating elements from a wider variety of artists on the vanguard of cutting edge, innovative music. “Having more time on my hands this year, I was able to dive way deeper into various types of music and really explore some more obscure and interesting sounds,” she states. Once Magda’s touring schedule becomes less hectic, one might expect her music to become more so. Who knows what the future might hold. And isn’t that what’s exciting?

Future Soul An Interview with Seven Davis Jr.

Houston-born, California-raised Seven Davis Jr. has been turning heads for a couple of years now with his own idiosyncratic brand of “electronic future soul” - a fusion of radio-friendly R&B flavours alongside a pronounced US house influence. The brooding funk of 2013’s “One EP” (released via Jay Simon’s Must Have imprint) initially put Seven on the map, whilst subsequent releases on the likes of Classic and Apron have cemented his reputation as a rising star. We got in touch to talk Prince, Ibiza and socially conscious lyrics… You’ve mentioned in the past that you were “groomed” for mainstream R&B/gospel success from a young age before pursuing a career in more underground styles of music. What were the factors that led you to make this decision? Do you ever think about how things could have turned out differently for you? I answer this question a lot. Obviously, it would have been different in some way. Maybe I would have still switched to underground/indie music. Personally, I don’t think the “mainstream” world is ready for an artist/person like me or would understand it... or maybe they totally would get and love me just the same. I don’t really like to think about how it “would have been”. All my dreams are coming true and I’m happy now, that’s what matters to me. At what point came your initial exposure to house music and electronic music? Was it always something that you’d taken an interest in? Being an 80s baby, luckily I got to grow up in a time when music was making a transition into the more synth digital arena. I have always been an open-minded listener myself. I use to scan the radio stations when I was bored and if I heard something I liked I would stop and listen to it, which got me into all kinds of genres. However, my first exposure to house music was in underground clubs and raves in San Francisco.

Who would you consider to be your biggest influences? How do you feel about being compared to the likes of Prince? I don’t mind being compared to Prince. It makes me smile. He’s a great artist but I am my own artist and in no way seek to copy him or anyone else in fact. There are a lot of other great artists that have inspired me. Also, I get inspired by many other things in life that have nothing to do with music. What kinds of messages and meaning do you try to convey through your lyrics - are they all about loving and partying or do you have anything more socially-conscious on the agenda? Do you believe that music (and dance music in particular) ought to get a message across at all? Being a socially conscious person, I feel like my music is naturally socially conscious. I write about how I feel at the moment or have felt or wish to feel in the future. A lot of my writing has double meanings. So you may hear a lyric that sounds like it’s about one thing but it’s really about socially conscious subjects. Love and partying is just a normal part of my life so it comes up a lot but even within those two subjects is a universe of other sub-topics. I think in dance music people should write about whatever it is they want to write about. That’s the good stuff, the honest stuff. Of course, there are more things I have to say in its right time and place. I’m also a poet and film writer so some subjects I feel are better explored through those channels. Your One EP on Must Have Records was repressed earlier this year due to high demand - how do you feel about the contemporary practice of people selling on their copies of sought-after records to make a profit? The fact that people listen enough to my stuff to buy it at an inflated price is really sweet, and I’m glad I can make someone somewhere in the world happy, but at the same time it is definitely a shame when your real fans have to pay above the normal retail price.

Do you buy many records yourself, or DJ at all? Well, I’m fortunate to know a lot of DJs and artists so all the records I would buy are given to me before I even can go to a record store. Recording vocals is something that a lot of rookie artists struggle to get right - could you go into some detail for us on how you manage to achieve such a slick yet distinctive sound when recording? Practice, practice, practice. Since childhood I would practice day and night. Originally it started out with just singing to myself in my room to recording on a cassette tape, to a four track, to a digital 8 track, to renting studio time, to building a home studio. I never stop practicing. ‘One’ was featured on Defected In the House’s Ibiza ’14 compilation - do you feel much of a connection between yourself/your music and the island? Have you ever played there yourself? I have never been to Ibiza but can tell you that I have always

felt this connection to the Ibiza, even now. I feel Ibiza calling me, saying “Come here” and I’m all like “Okay”. One of these days I’m sure I’ll visit Ibiza. I heard somewhere that you’ve got a ton of unreleased material from over the years just sitting around. Are there any plans to release it (Lost Tapes Vol. 2 perhaps?) or would you rather focus on recording and putting out new material? All my old unreleased music is with Kutmah/ IZWID Records and that’s where it will live. He is currently putting Lost Tapes Vol. 2 together but there are a few new IZWID family members that he will be introducing to the world before then. Meanwhile, yes my focus is on new music. I’m wiser, more skilled, smarter and better than ever so I’ve been working on new music that reflects that in present times. I have a lot of music in my soul.

Adam Beyer Techno King of Sweden

Anyone who’s a fan of Adam Beyer knows first hand how it feels to watch the guy rock the decks. Beyer has carved his name as one of the world’s largest DJs and has pioneered the immense imprint, Drumcode, for over 18 years. DJB caught up with the Swedish DJ for a chat about his embracing of house music, his thoughts on the Swedish techno scene and his love for ADE. Would you say that the first Drumcode release, along with your gigs at Docklands, helped conceive the Swedish techno scene? It was definitely a vital part in defining the techno scene and carving out the typical Swedish techno sound at that time, but the scene started earlier in ‘93/’94. The first Drumcode record wasn’t released until ‘96. When Drumcode was established, did you have an idea that it would drastically impact the Swedish music scene? No. I think it’s like most ideas; it starts with a small idea about something- an urge to create something. The reason for me to start Drumcode was that I really needed a platform where I could be fully in control. There has been a huge development with your productions. You stated in a recent Resident Advisor interview that this change has been a positive one. What would you say influenced that change? I think most artists go through phases in their careers; your life changes, things around you change, your mindset changes. At the time, the music that we have been doing from 1996 to 2002- the techno- went much more mental and extreme. I started to get some bookings where the music and the parties sometimes were extremely hard. I felt like I didn’t fit in because at some point I even saw skinheads and stuff, and I got a really aggressive feeling. That’s when I was like, ‘wow this is not where I am coming from; this is not what I want to be part of.’ I don’t want to just play to aggressive men. I always liked a bit more of fun, funkiness, sexiness and soul in the music. So I just felt like going back to my roots and slowing down the tempo to show a different side of myself; to start building my profile in a different direction. Was it ever in your interest to open a club in Sweden that could help the scene evolve? Would it work there? Opening a club in Sweden? Yes. I was thinking of being a part of that ‘on-and-off’ in the past. I have always been too

busy with my DJing and running the labels. I never believed in wearing too many hats at the same time. Certain die-hard fans might be surprised by the houseorientated nature of your more recent productions. What’s your opinion here? There are always going to be people being let down whatever you do. I always try to focus on the positive stuff and my own intuition. If you hadn’t have worked at Planet Rhythm [Stockholm record store], do you think things would have been different for you? Yes, I think things would have been very different if I hadn’t have worked there, because what I took from Planet Rhythm, and the record store, was contacts. I learnt a lot about how to distribute your music and I got the right contacts from England to be able to start distributing my on own. And do you think meeting Cari Lekebusch happened out of luck? Meeting Cari was very important because at the time he was kind of a mentor. We were so close as a group helping each other, pushing each other forward and being strong together. Stockholm is such a small city and at the time in ‘93 I think the few people who were into this kind of music would eventually meet sooner or later because there were so few of us. It was such a rare exotic thing doing techno back then. Would you say that the authorities in Sweden are limiting the techno scene from moving forward? During the 90s when Docklands closed, it was definitely about the authorities. Sweden is pretty strict on drugs and Docklands was kind of liberal, so they stopped that and closed down a lot of other parties around that time. It pretty much ended the scene for a while; then it slowly came back in different shapes and form. Do you still play at low-key parties or pop up during afterhours in Sweden? I play once or twice a year in Stockholm and I love it. I still have a lot of friends in the scene in Sweden that I keep in touch with and I help sometimes with bookings as well.

Finding the Essence of

Henrik Schwarz Three years ago, Henrik Schwarz embarked on a journey that would be his most straining yet. The man from Bodensee started Instruments, a project in which he transforms his club sounding music to the concert hall. On writing, producing and finding the essence in his sound, he states, “I never thought I would be opening Pandora’s Box.” Schwarz has always been one to search for a balance between analogue and digital; trying to put the music from his computer in context with what came before. Now more than ever, the German is reaching musical maturity. Combining jazz, classical music and house to find the essence in his music, it looks like he’s finally getting closer and closer to realisation. How has Instruments developed since your showcase last year at the Concertgebouw? Pfew, quite a bit. I just finished the album last week. It ended up being been the biggest project I’ve ever done by far. When I started three years ago I didn’t have any understanding of conducting. I couldn’t even really read notes. I got somebody to help me with the arrangements, but even if you have a very good understanding of music, it’s a long process of turning electronic music into sheet music for an orchestra, without just mimicking the original sound. That was not what I was looking for. It had to be something completely new. I didn’t know how to write, or how to arrange a whole orchestra. That is actually the hardest part. It’s not just three people you have to conduct; it’s forty, and the conductor. Not to mention the technical side of it all. How do you record that? So you had to translate your songs to sheet music, and then into something completely new altogether? Exactly. I had no clue. My arranger, Johannes, transferred much of the music to paper just by ear. I could export the notes I had in my sequencer. We simulated that with a virtual orchestra on my computer, just to get a sense of what it could sound like. It couldn’t be a copy, but how do you achieve that? I soon realised we had to get rid of all the drums. They made it sound stupid. You wouldn’t hit a bass drum inside a concert hall. But if you take out the rhythm, where is the pulse coming from? We replaced it by add-

ing an accent on every third note in the score, to make it swing. You need very precise players to make it work, but when I first heard it, it sounded magical. It gave you new insights in making music? More than I wish. In what sense? When I started this project I wasn’t aware that I had opened Pandora’s Box. You have to deal with a 400-year old tradition. There is so much experience and artistry involved from those musicians. On the other hand, the classical world seems to be on a dead end street. They have to find new ways to attract a new audience. Many of those people open up because of that, and that’s fantastic. But because there are so many people involved there are always those that don’t want to break with tradition. They don’t want to deal with people like me who haven’t studied music at the conservatory. Even if the majority wants to join in, it can be really difficult to get everybody on the bandwagon. I worked my ass off for three years to make it happen and there were times when I thought, ‘OK, this is not gonna happen.’ But now it’s finished, and I feel relieved in a way. I’m so happy with the result. I guess those tensions improve the creativity. Yeah, I totally fell in love with the drama. In the electronic world it’s all about the party. Everything is positive, everybody is smiling all the time. It seems like a bad party doesn’t exist, that there are no bad sets. It is always ‘perfect’, ‘fantastic’ or ‘amazing’. I found it very inspiring to actually fight for something so difficult. The discussions make everything so much stronger, it brings up an amazing, inspiring energy. The performance last year at the Concertgebouw... the reaction of the crowd is something I will never, ever forget. Is your album still coming? It kinda died at the hand of Instruments. I have twenty tracks lying around. Some of them already recorded, most of them just written. I recorded ten of them last summer, but when I listen to them now it feels like something is missing. Now the jazz album with Bugge and Dan is ready and Instruments has just been pressed, I can find the absolute focus and brainpower I need to record.

You say you wrote some songs down, does that mean that your approach has changed? Actually, yes. My whole way of working changed quite a bit. I focused so much on structure, that I use sheets now. Things are clearer, because music is something that I can write down now. It used to be all about sound, I felt like I was searching all the time. But now I can break it down into actual notes, I can focus more on finding the essence. Henrik Schwarz plays Used + Abused – The Last Dance at HYTE Warehouse on Sunday October 19th

I-F

Milder Than Before With Intergalactic FM he lets the rest of the world know just how many excellent disco records are floating around. But besides being the figurehead of the renowned online radio channel, I-F has been a DJ for over 30 years and is fondly embraced nowadays by Dekmantel, Breakfast Club and Boiler Room.

117 TITEL

118 I-F

There used to be a time when it was in your best interest not to get on Ferenc van der Sluijs’ bad side. During a fight, the least you would get was a pack of butter thrown at your head, but towards the end of the 90s, fax machines were flying through store windows and mobile phones through car interiors. I-F once threatened to drive a car into the house of yours truly after daring to write an unflattering review about his debut album Fucking Consumer (1998, Disko B). Luckily it fizzled out without anyone getting hurt. Nothing is left of that negative energy and pent-up frustration on a sunny Friday afternoon at the Panama Racing Club. The brand new radio studio of Intergalactic FM is situated at Binckhorst, an industrial area in The Hague, where a good-humoured Ferenc opens the shutters firmly and the smell of paint wafts in. “Cool huh?” he beams from under his striking seventies moustache. “I need impulses. I don’t want to end up doing nothing.’’For the past five years he’s been the head of Intergalactic FM, the successful online radio channel that was built on the still smouldering remains of its predecessor CBS. From the outset the station (which has six channels, from soundtracks to space disco) has always been run by volunteers. Last year the Dutch tax office threatened to end his dream. Something about a chaotic administration. However, thanks to a successful crowd funding campaign IFM escaped its doom, after which much improvement was promised. BOILER ROOM

Ever since Ferenc stopped making records and said goodbye to the vinyl business, he began making his money mostly by playing records. This is why he initially said no to Boiler Room, when the London based company asked him to play a DJ-set at the Expedition Festival in Rotterdam. “I rarely play for free, but I understood that this was important.” It fits in with the upward trend that is visible in his Dutch bookings. Embraced by none other than Dekmantel, Expedition Festival and Breakfast Club, the distinctive DJ plays in front of Dutch audiences more then ever. I was astonished when I watched your Boiler Room-set. You were surrounded by hipsters, and towards the end of your set someone was constantly touching you. The old Ferenc would have exploded. I completely shut myself off. I knew people were waiting until I started throwing punches. I was completely focused on my set; it had to rock. I even surprised myself, you know. I saw the circle of people around me getting smaller and smaller. But during the night I didn’t notice it. Not even the sticker someone put on me. I saw people go wild and I thought: mission accomplished. You have changed over time. In the Hotmix- and Unit Moebius-years I remember a different man. More intense, with a short fuse. Man, I used to drive myself crazy. It cost me so much energy, all those explosions. And money. A fax machine through a window, or something else ended up broken. I also drove

some ridiculous cars back then, heavily tuned with fat tires and everything. I used to do the craziest things with them. I couldn’t keep living like that. According to my girlfriend I fit every symptom of autism. I learned to deal with that over the years. What helped? Peace and quiet, which I found by making music. It truly has been therapeutic for me. I learned to communicate better and try to listen more as well. But still I break out in a sweat when a conversation doesn’t interest me. I want to walk away.

“I used to drive myself crazy. It cost me so much energy, all those explosions” ANGRY-MALE-ELECTRO

‘Space Invaders are Smoking Grass’ [Viewlexx] was I-F’s breakthrough as a producer in 1997. The hyperkinetic electro record with an addictive melody, distorted robot voices and drum machines grew to be a classic. Two years earlier I-F had debuted with ‘Portrait of a Dead Girl’ (if you’re looking for memorable titles you are at the right place with Ferene). “I wanted to make music that we could play at the Acid Planet-parties. There was a lack of dark acid and techno during those days. Zombie music. So we made it ourselves. I once called it angry-male-electro, haha. A few steps back in history and you end up at Westeinde, in The Hague, where Ferenc opened a record store called Hotmix together with the house magazine Bassic Groove and a couple of Italo friends. When, a little while later, Guy

119 I-F

Tavares -the eccentric front man of Unit Moebius- walked in with the first Bunker records under his arm, a friendship emerged that lasted till the present day. “Just like myself, Guy is an enormously autistic”, Ferenc smiles lovingly. “I owe him so much. When he walked into Hotmix, the magic started. I never met a person like that before.”

That seems like a shaky business model. Well, we do have some subbers (people with a subscription). This gives is a sort of fixed income. It’s difficult to be commercial, because than we would go all the way. I struggle with that. Even though there’s a little devil on my shoulder who says otherwise.

Why did he come to you? You owned a record store, but no distribution company. At the time I already imported records from the US, from labels like Trax and DJ International, which I supplied to a number of record stores. He came by with the first two Bunkers. He asked me whether I liked them. I knew from the start: this is the sound I was looking for.

A few years back Ferenc started releasing records again, this in itself was surprising as he stated previously that he was done making and releasing records.

For the people who weren’t there at the time, what was so special about the basement of the Blauwe Aanslag where the Acid Planet-parties were held? Freedom. You could be anything you wanted to. It wasn’t about egos. Everything went together there, from hip-hop boys to neo-nazis, drugs zombies to music freaks, crusties to middle class italo boys wearing designer clothes. It just worked. It was a dirty, dark basement. Apocalyptic almost. You had nothing to want or demand there, all you could do was surrender. FROM ACID TO ABBA

A new generation recently got to know Acid Planet, when the nihilistic stroboscopes fest landed in De Verdieping of Trouw after years of apparent hibernation. Ferenc had to dig deeply into his record collection, not having played a pure acid set for years. These days I-f is mostly booked for his bass-heavy disco, weeping electro-wave and jacking Chicago-house. Music that could’ve been made yesterday, or last century. Even though his style is similar to space disco-Norse Prins Thomas and Todd Terje, I-f beats are darker and have an enjoyable sleazy edge. Switching from an obscure Ectomorph electro record to Abba’s saccharine ‘Lay All Your Love on Me’ is no problem. “But that is an excellent record man!” Ferenc exclaims while slapping his knee. “Suddenly everybody puts their lighter in the air. It’s all about timing. If I opened my set with a record like that, nothing would happen.”

What made the love come back? You can thank Gesloten Cirkel for that. I heard his work for the first time in 2009. I knew right away: I want to release this. After Gesloten Cirkel I started Viewlexx again. Another thing that I find striking: all your old work is available again. Even the old Bunker-records, which used to be on Discogs for insane amounts. You can all order it digitally on IFM. That’s right. I hate those fanatic record collectors. Those people that make you go on your knees and open your mouth if you want to hear a special record. I wish I could punch those kinds of people. I remember a lot of grumbling at CBS by people that thought their special records had to be kept a secret. I make music. I think it’s important that people can find that music and listen to it. I did not make my records so you can put them in a cabinet, never to touch them again. I think our music should be available, in any possible way.

SHAKY BUSINESS MODEL

CBS, Intergalactic FM’s predecessor, stands for Cybernetic Broadcasting System. In 2008 Ferenc unexpectedly pulled the plug on the project, having let it run successfully for five years. A year later he started IFM. “I wanted to get away from that whole elite-thing. CBS was like a cult sometimes. The current channel is more accessible and flexible. It’s easier to adjust things. Pretty soon, we are going from servers to the cloud. This will mean less hassle with bandwidth. How are IFM’s finances arranged? Are there any advertisements? No, not anymore. We are completely dependent on donations and merchandise. I put in a lot of money over the years.

Groningenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Finest:

Noisia The three producers from Groningen have come a long away since their early skateboarding days. Nik Roose, Martijn Van Sonderen and Thijs De Vlieger began releasing hard drum & bass under their collective moniker, Noisia, over 10 years ago. Nowadays alongside their operations as Noisia the trio are composing soundtracks, running labels, producing artists and touring as I Am Legion, alongside members from the UK hip-hop collective, Foreign Beggars. If that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough, the Dutch producers have just completed an audacious, state-of-the art studio production in their home town Groningen. DJBroadcast caught up with Nik Roose via email, to find out what the next steps were for the Dutch trio.

121

Are you planning a follow up to Split The Atom, and if so, do you worry you might have set the benchmark too high? Yes we do intend to do so, and yes, it’s a difficult album to follow up, mostly because it was a collection of tracks we had been working on for years, not an album written in one go. Right now we don’t have that luxury of having things lying around for that long and patiently collecting stuff that stands out. If we do it this time, it’ll probably be in a shorter period. Which might be harder, or more cohesive. We don’t know yet!

Outside of electronic music culture what have you been working on as of late? You recently completed the soundtrack for Devil May Cry, has that changed the way you approach your productions? Yeah, it really helped us get comfortable with cinematic style production; more space, more ambience and more emphasis on textures. When you work for the dancefloor there isn’t that much space for subtleties and that kind of depth, but it is cool to sometimes try and ‘break open’ a track with that angle.

What was the thinking behind your latest EP, Purpose? It sounds like an extremely club orientated record – it’s almost an homage to Renegade Hardware. Yes. We had wanted to finish a bunch of dancefloor drum & bass tunes for a while. Initially it wasn’t even supposed to have any collaborations on it, but then we made a few that really fit the bill.

We’ve been working on a collaboration with the NNO (The North Netherlands Symphony Orchestra), we finished producing Kraantje Pappie’s second album a few months ago, we’ve been designing and working out new merchandising, artwork for the Purpose EP, more Nightwatch production stuff, pitching for advertising, finishing and organising the studio spaces, and a few more things probably.

‘Running Blind’ is definitely an homage to Bad Company. Some of the other tunes are quite jump-up inspired. It’s not a statement of direction for the future (Purpose is more a hint at the dancefloor angle the EP has). We intend to go on tangents when we feel like it and not everything will necessarily come out so dancefloor friendly from now on.

What was the inspiration behind the recent Nosia Invites tour? And if you had a chance to invite anyone at all for your tour, who would it be? It’s a great feeling to go on tour with artists you love, and represent your own music and all these other artists all at once. We get to try and make it as cool as possible; from the timetable through to the posters. It’s really cool that people like it when we do that.

You recently finished a tour with the I Am Legion project. What are the next steps for you here? We’re working on some new material with them. We’ll see where that takes us.

“Not everything will necessarily come out so dancefloor friendly from now on”

We’d love to have artists like Amon Tobin, The Prodigy and even someone like Jon Hopkins for example, but whether that’s doable remains to be seen! Your new studio seems to be a labour of love. What was the thinking behind it, and whom in particular did the design work? We wanted three identical rooms in close vicinity of each other. With all the sound insulation needed to make that happen you need some serious design muscle. This came in the shape of Thomas Jouanjean of Northward Acoustics. He designed the whole thing based on our wishes. For example the glass front panels are a result of us asking if we could have some form of natural light in our studios. He also designed our desks to work with the room. They have recently been finished and installed.

There seems to be heightened activity with the Invisible and Vision imprints – where do you envision taking these and who actually does all the man management behind the labels? We’re excited about pushing music we believe in, and we have expanded our label operations a bit, mostly by hiring Jaap aka. Jay-P as our label manager.

What is it on a sound level that enables it to stand out from out other studios? The acoustics and the speakers. The rooms have a 5dB maximum deviation across the entire spectrum. As far as I know that’s pretty far above mastering-grade. The speakers are ATC in-walls with dual 11” woofers each. They’ll start distorting long after you’re deaf. In other words, clear sound.

We’ve got an incredible album coming from Hybris on Invisible, and Vision also has some album projects on the horizon. We don’t really have a grand plan for them though, we just put out stuff we like and get the business going.

DVS1 The Devious One Last week at Berghain a track came that turned the crowd silent, moving their bodies in hypnotic motion. The track was ‘Lost Myself’ by DVS1. It wasn’t the first time it had given someone the chills. DJB finally got a hold of the busy man behind the banging record, and asked him a few interesting questions about his career, his thoughts on Berghain and ADE. How many years did it take for to amass 10,000 records, and will you sell them one day? It’s actually well over 35,000 now. I’ve been buying records for nearly 20 years. Recently I acquired a collection (25,000) from one of the founding house DJs (DJ Man-X) here in Minneapolis who unfortunately passed away about 18 months ago. His family entrusted me to purchase the collection and I’ve been slowly going through and cataloging the music. As far as selling in the future, I don’t ever see myself selling off my music, it would be like cutting off my arms or legs. What is it about Berghain that makes you want to go there after a weekend full of gigs, even if you didn’t have to play? Not to sound ridiculous, but there is something special in that room, it’s like being a drug addict chasing the dragon. With Berghain and Pbar, the dragon is always there and you can go pet it whenever you want. You can just be a

voyeur of music or people, or you can go and be involved on many levels. You can be completely invisible in there no matter how known or unknown you are. How did you come about to choose your name DVS1? Devious one being deceitful and dishonest, is it a personal experience? The name came to me as a nickname through a graffiti artist friend who’s named NVS1 and he just gave me the name ‘Devious’ because of my personality. It stuck with me and became the name I used. The first meaning I find when I search the definition of ‘Devious’ is departing from the most direct way; circuitous; indirect. I have always looked at being devious as being a bit sneaky but never dishonest. It’s also more of a feeling in how I play my music, at any moment even though I’m known for straight forward techno, I can go left or right and change direction! What are your thoughts on ADE festival? It’s a great place, anytime you put so much talent in one city over a few days you’re bound to have some intense parties and interactions. The only problem is being in five places at once as there are always too many great nights happening all at the same time. DVS1 Plays Awakenings at Gashouder on Saturday October 18th.

ADE Does Bass Though the majority of ADE’s acts perform house or techno, ADE has always lined up a week of showcases that focus on emergent genres, popular trends, and those artists forging a unique rhythmic path of their own; from Berlin’s Sub:Stance parties (back in 2009) to London’s Skreamizm event (2012) that pitched together a new housier-Skream alongside a pre-radio Disclosure. The last twelve months have seen a resurgence in popularity for some of the UK’s forward thinking sounds — particularly jungle and grime. Since it’s been such a particularly strong year, DJBroadcast has put together our picks for the best bass music at ADE.

Livity Sound, and eventually began touring a live show with the three producers presenting their tracks in an assault of forward-thinking club rhythms. “It was something none of us had ever done before and it made sense; a new challenge. We spent about six months trying to work out the best way to present it before we did our first show. We’re still constantly refining and updating it- it’s an ongoing process.” NEW STOREYS

Many know the name Al Tourettes, real name Alec Storey, and his signature blend of techno and electro, but few are yet familiar with Al’s new alias, Second Storey.

BRISTOL SOUND

Last year the Livity Sound trio — Peverelist, Kowton and Asusu — shared the cover of The Wire with fellow Bristol collective Young Echo and were named Resident Advisor’s label of the year. But as many championed Livity Sound as the future of UK’s post-dubstep movement, Tom Ford, aka. Peverelist, is keen to point out that Livity Sound’s genesis was much more complex. “[It] came about as I felt a need to have a label which defined my own interests and ideas, combining all my influences from dub, jungle and techno,” Ford said. Around that time Ford had been chatting frequently about music with Joe Cowton, and the two began to collaborate. From these collaborations came the first Livity Sound release: Pev and Kowton’s eponymous mixes of ‘Beneath Radar’. The second Livity Sound release came from Craig Stennett, the Bristol producer Asusu. “I had been in conversation with [him] about working together,” Ford said, “and I felt his ideas were compatible with ours.” From there the trio continued to release records on

“It’s a bit like starting again in many ways as people aren’t familiar with the name,” Storey said, “but [that] also allows me more artistic freedom at the same time.” Second Storey’s first two releases, an EP and album both with Houndstooth, maintain Storey’s angular yet funky rhythms, but incorporate a greater emphasis on immersive sound design. Double Divide, his album released this September, has its feet on the dancefloor and its head in the clouds. Storey says his newer music is “broader in scope and not always focused on the dance floor. That said it still shares much in common particularly in the rhythmic aspects of the music.” But Storey’s surprising, energetic rhythms aren’t the focus of his performances. Storey considers a steady 4/4 to be an essential part of his DJ sets. “I really enjoy mixing 4/4 over more broken rhythms when I DJ,” he said. “It’s hugely satisfying creating new syncopations. For me DJing has always been about blending rhythms, whatever they are, and the different effect they have on your body as much as the melodic elements in music.”

LUNICE

LUCKY LUNICE

“I want to bring cool to rap,” said Lunice Pierre, the Canadian beat producer known simply as Lunice. “Rap is really turn’t up right now, which is completely fine, but I like the dynamics of being up and then cool and low.” Lunice is most famous for being half of hip-hop production duo TNGHT along with Hudson Mohawke. If HudMo brings a Rustie-like maximalist bombast to TNGHT, then Lunice is definitely providing the duo’s laidback cool, keeping rhythms minimal and tightly in the pocket. As a solo producer on LuckyMe, Lunice turns hip-hop tem-

plates into spare, compelling body-music. His tunes, like standout ‘Hitmane’s Anthem’ are simple rhythm tracks designed for maximum dance floor efficacy. And while his DJ sets can certainly be “turn’t up” they avoid the freneticism of most underground DJs flirting with rap stylings. Instead, audiences should expect from Lunice’s sets exactly what he says they should; “Maturity, coolness, simplicity and coherence.” Peverelist, Second Storey and Livity Sound play VDX x Surefire at the Sugar Factory on Thursday 16th. Lunice plays the Warp x LuckyMe Showcase at Paradiso on Friday 17th.

DJ Stingray Detroit at its very best

Looking for some serious Motor City vibes at ADE? The Rhone Warehouse is where you should be heading on Saturday with Sherard Ingram aka. DJ Stingray headlining an impressive bill of off-kilter techno. Ingram has been pushing boundaries for Detroit’s electronic music scene for almost thirty years now, teaming up with Carl Craig, Anthony ‘Shake’ Shakir and Kenny Dixon Jr. and as the tour DJ for Drexciya during their final days. DJBroadcast caught up with the man behind the mask.

127

Recently your track ‘Temporary Bond’ came out on Rick Wilhite’s Vibes 2 compilation for Rush Hour. How strong is the Detroit connection nowadays? I think all serious Detroit electronic music artists feel connected, as we are a minority in the city. There are also plenty of artists who live in the state that share this connection as well. The most recent Urban Tribe album dates back to 2010, are you still making music with either Carl Craig, Anthony Shakir or Kenny Dixon and can we expect new Urban Tribe stuff in the near future? I have about 25 or 30 tracks in various states that I may use for the next Urban Tribe project that will be released on Planet E. If I can catch Shake and Ken they’ll definitely be blessing the LP with their creative talents. In general your style is described as electro, but I understand you don’t like that term, why is that? I have to be frank here. I feel that the term ‘electro’ places a limitation on an artist. It seems to force the artist into a narrow bandwidth of synth patches, tempos and percussive sounds. I think it’s time to just make stellar electronic music, period. You’ve been a tour DJ for Drexciya, whose work has been successfully re-issued by Clone and Tresor recently. For the younger generation, can you explain why Drexciya’s work has played an essential role in techno music as we know it today? I invite the younger listener to investigate Drexciya’s sonic and conceptual framework. Take note of this mind bending and progressive sound and how lazy or narrow-minded journalists have ignored it. I think Drexciya’s role in techno is that it provides a path and freedom for exploration. I see your music as carrying on a certain Drexciyan tradition. Do you feel any responsibility for furthering the Drexciyan concept and spirit and if so, why? I feel as if I’m representing some of the Drexcyian aesthetic and that I have a responsibility to inspire the youth and invigorate the older citizens of the underground electronic music community. Don’t give up, keep refining the art.

where, there’s a start-stop mix; is this a statement, a joke or just a mistake that you decided to leave in there? The mix was just a micro version of what I would do live. I’ll leave the start/stop issue for speculation haha. I think in today’s environment the most important quality for a DJ is track selection. Using turntables well demonstrates a certain dedication and knowledge that was needed at one time. It gives a nice touch when a young DJ knows how to use turntables. It’s like the young ninja who can slice and dice with a laser but can use a proper blade when needed as well. What have you been working on recently? The next Urban Tribe LP, NRSB stuff and various remixes and singles for different labels. Final question, and also for the Amsterdam people who are curious to see you play at ADE but are less familiar with your style, how would you describe it yourself? I encourage them to watch the scene from ‘Johhny Mneomic’ when he has coded information uploaded to his brain. I’m providing the upload for you. That’s what it will be like.

”I invite the younger listener to investigate Drexciya’s sonic and conceptual framework, take note of this mind bending and progressive sound”

You play music at a very high pace. What’s the idea behind that and what influenced you to do so? I feel the high pace provides energy and gives the listener a chance to hear more music in a shorter amount of time. I try to provide a cathartic, positive experience. Your Fact magazine mix is credited as one of the best Detroit electro mixes ever made. Technically your skills are peerless, nevertheless in the middle of that mix, out of no-

DOLLKRAUT SCHIMANSKI’S BLACK LULLABIES THE GYM

***** If the dance world has a fair measure of excitement over the debut LP release from the Dutch DJ/producer and analogue wizard Pascal Pinkert aka. Dollkraut, then Pinkert himself is a little less enthused. “I’m pretty calm,” he says when speaking to DJBroadcast. “Actually, I just cannot wait to get this out in the open and get rid of the hype building. I don’t like hype. Just believe your own pair of ears your parents gave you, instead of being a follower like a lot of people in this industry.” It’s a typically feisty response from Pinkert, who stands out for his willingness to do things differently. He gives a similar brash response when queried about his choice to embrace a grand conceptual approach with Schimanski’s Black Lullabies, as opposed to a more predictable collection of dancefloor singles. “I’m not a conventional kind of guy, so I get quickly bored of that straightforwardness nowadays. If that is the modern look of tradition, then no, I would rather dance my ass off to less computerized rhythms that you didn’t expect to be played inside a regular club.” Standing out as one electronic music’s stronger concept albums this year, Schimanski’s Black Lullabies represents the realization of a promise built around the producer.

Pinkert claims the LP’s broader conceptual approach is a logical extension of what he’d already explored on a micro level with his singles. “I always work in a conceptual way,” he says. “I think it’s the best way to get the most out of your ideas. You can be sure you didn’t forget about something. I always write my stuff before I begin. I think if you just start jamming, then most of the time you’ll end up with nothing or with something where you think, ‘’well, that’s ok’, but in my opinion, that’s not enough.” Pinkert tackles a theme on the album that’s consistent with the natural affinity he’s already shown for nostalgic sounds; it’s a conceptual look at film scores from the 60s, 70s and 80s, with the album’s narrative summoning a forgotten B-movie or television show that you’ve watched a million times. It’s fair to say that Schimanski’s Black Lullabies is quite cinematic. “It takes you back in a time where you couldn’t escape from a newborn synthesizer taking the lead in one of those musical sequences. The process stays a little DIY and ‘out of tune’, but that’s exactly what works for me, I guess. Music should not be perfect or correct, it’s about what makes you feel good. I’d rather un-tune a bass guitar or synth to get it beautifully ‘in’.”

129

“It takes you back in a time where you couldn’t escape from a newborn synthesizer taking the lead in one of those musical sequences” He could be talking about that intentionally out-of-tune electro hook in ‘The Scene’. Elsewhere, the sequences in ‘La Banda Dello Scorpione’ are drawn from the forgotten crime movies of the 70s. That said, Pinkert insists it’s not simply about recreating a sound from the past. “I’m not purposely doing a ‘retro thing’. You don’t want to imitate it. Rather, you want to let it influence you. I’m actually looking for a film director to work with, to keep this cult era alive… but it’s about continuing where the originals stopped. I’m driven by admiration for the workflow that those composers had, together with their recording techniques and use of their instruments.” One of the main enablers is his dedication to analogue equipment, which sees him using classic hardware to accurately capture the sound of the era he’s referencing. It’s a willfully imprecise approach that contrasts with the laboured precision of a lot of modern electronic music. “With analogue you have to live for the moment. No recalls whatsoever. I like that, the pureness of it. There is a mindset that has developed in a world that is already programmed to serve us nowadays, where people get lazy and easily recall their errors. Go on, make mistakes, it’s human. I think music should not be perfect or correct, for me that is meaningless.”

BLACK LULLABIES

The cinematic sample that opens Dollkraut’s debut LP Schimanski’s Black Lullabies is a telling reflection of the narrative he’s crafted across the album. ‘Rollercoaster’ is an early moment geared for the dancefloor; driven by 70s drumbreaks. ‘La Banda Dello Scorpione’ summons the energy of a early crime flick, while ‘NSFW’ sees the era shift to the 80s as the electro breakbeats really kick in. The impassioned soul of ‘Fire’ is the album’s most evocative moment, and Dollkraut’s most successful mix yet of the nostalgic and the futuristic. Looking beyond the cerebral stuff though, Schimanski’s Black Lullabies is still intricately produced electronic music. The album is a paradox – classic, yet utterly modern. Its closing moments are again telling; another sample that this time bids a dramatic farewell, taken from a film you’ve watched a million times before though you can’t remember when.

Dollkraut plays The Gym Showcase on Saturday October 18th at Disco Dolly. Schimanski’s Black Lullabies is released through THE GYM on October 20th.

JUJU & JORDASH CLEAN CUT DEKMANTEL

Clean Cut is studio album number three from Gal Aner (Juju) and Jordan Czamanski (Jordash) for their Amsterdam based home turf imprint Dekmantel. The album title says it all. After Techno Primitivsm (2012) and their self-titled debut (2009), the tracks on Clean Cut are more economical and less jammy. What hasn’t changed is their fascinating take on techno. With their improvisation-based way of working they’ve created a unique sound in contemporary electronic music. Tracks like ‘Clean Cut’, ‘Whippersnapper’ and ‘Deadwood City’ are effective club bangers that stand out because of the multi-layered and extremely richly textured structures. When Juju & Jordash are driving their analogue machines you’ll start in one place and end up somewhere totally different. These unexpected and hazardous turns keep your ears on the subject at hand while Clean Cut, as a techno album, explores the boarders of a genre in both blissful and experimental ways. ‘Swamp Things’ bring the quirky, lo-fi minimalism of Mika Vainio to mind, while ‘Maharaja Mark’ is the perfect soundtrack for a sinister futuristic Bollywood movie. Clean Cut is a multifarious album from two of contemporary techno’s most gifted musicians. Release date tbc. EELCO COUVREUR

DORIAN CONCEPT JOINED ENDS NINJA TUNE

*****

Austrian musician and producer Dorian Concept drops his second album to date on Ninja Tune this fall. In 2009 (When Planets Explode) the beat professor made quite an impression by serving up a unique cocktail of Coltrane inspired modal jazz, Dabrye beats and hyperreal glitch pop. With Joined Ends Concept, who masters the synthesizer like no other, presents a sonic excursion built out of next-level textures and brilliant transformations. For Joined Ends the self-taught keyboarder and multiinstrumentalist dropped his trademark MicroKorg for a Wurlitzer electric piano and a handful of analogue synths. Over 13 tracks, Concept again proves to be one of the most versatile electronic music producers around. From the bombastic synth-driven opener ‘The Sky Opposite’ and the pulsing rhythms in ‘Mint’ to the beat-lacking bliss of ‘Schadentrauer’ and ‘Nest Nest’ (vocals by the man himself) and the scattered drum patterns of ‘Trophies’: there’s never a dull moment on Joined Ends. Dorian Concept has re-invented his own music by limiting himself in the studio when it comes to using instruments. What comes out is an album full of exciting compositions that sounds even more organic than the signature Concept productions we’ve been used to. Released October 20th. EELCO COUVREUR

VLADISLAV DELAY VISA RIPATTI

Finnish auteur Vladislav Delay has been active for over fifteen years now, releasing a string of albums on celebrated labels including Chain Reaction, Mille Plateaux and RasterNoton. In addition to crafting glitchy, spaced-out ambient and techno as Vladislav, he’s put out poppy micro-house as Luomo and even UK bass-inspired dancefloor cuts as Ripatti (his surname). Vladislav’s latest album, the aptly-titled Visa, will see a release via his own label this coming November. The story surrounding the album is a curious one: Ripatti was due to play a handful of US gigs earlier this year but had his visa unexpectedly denied at the eleventh hour. The consequent abundance of spare time allowed him to return to the studio and work unhindered on new material - Visa being the result of this. Across the album’s five tracks (reaching up to 22 minutes in length), we submerge and join Vladislav on a captivating journey through his carefully-constructed ambient soundscapes - at some points verging on the abrasive, at others bewitchingly pretty. It’s a highly immersive experience that demands the listener’s undivided attention; as the press release states, Visa was created “to be listened to at high volume and in full detail”.

SECOND STOREY DOUBLE DIVIDE HOUNDSTOOTH

*****

There’s something to be said for an artist who explores the possibilities of his sound without compromising his sonic identity. Even though Alec Storey has ditched his old Al Tourettes alias to release this debut album under his new Second Storey moniker, the music still embodies his distinct energetic whisk of electro, IDM, and skipping dubstep rhythms. Double Divide sets these elements on a cinematic scale and finds Storey doing some of his finest sound design yet, layering a wide pallet of lush, otherworldly noises onto his syncopated rhythmic grid. Yet despite the album’s occasional swells of comforting ambience, its best tracks are all high-octane thunderstorms of metallic clangs reminiscent of the rough techno Perc has been churning out lately. These rowdy tracks, like the industrially titled ‘Combustion Hallmark,’ stomp out polyrhythmic kick drum patterns as putrid samples gurgle around flickers of white noise. These brutal tracks are complimented by the album’s more sentimental moments. The dreamy chords of ‘Devotion Notion’ sound as amorous as the song’s title would suggest, but Storey complicates the otherwise saccharine by teasing it around harsh textures and lithe rhythms. These intermingling dichotomies and the album’s microscopic detailing, make it one to be savored. Released October 6th. TAYLOR HODGES

STEFFI POWER OF ANONYMITY OSTGUT TON

Panorama Bar resident Steffi is a seasoned DJ who has always embraced the warmer, more inviting side of house and techno, and this has been defining her studio work too, with the particularly emotive ‘Sadness’ being an evocative example. On her sophomore album Power of Anonymity on OstGut Ton, Steffi takes a diverse walk through the sounds you might hear in one of her sets on that loft dancefloor where she holds her residency. The overall vibe is dreamy, warm and seductive, while also drawing on an early techno aesthetic that becomes a creative reference point. Laidback breakbeats welcome the listeners in, while ‘Everyday Objects’ takes the dreamy atmosphere and works it into swirling, spiraling synth tunnels; it’s the first of many moods that are explored on the album, working up to the tunneling trance territory of ‘Hard Hitting Horizon’, the pumping acid house of ‘Bang For Your Buck’, and even an unexpected turn into sleazy RnB territory on ‘Treasure Seeking’. Overall there aren’t too many surprises, though it’s a pleasing selection of club cuts that will all sound divine in one of Steffi’s sets, and don’t sound half bad in album format either. Released November 10th. ANGUS PATERSON

2562 THE NEW TODAY WHEN IN DOUBT

*****

Dutch subversive Dave Huismans enjoys a wild and uninhibited approach to his compositions. While his best-known alias A Made Up Sound deals in slightly more conventional house and techno, his 2562 pseudonym was once known as ‘dubstep’, though with his increasingly noisy excursions he’s long since transcended that label. Huismans returns to the alias for the first time in several years with The New Today, and the concept he’s working with is a postmodern collage of sorts, drawing on new wave, post punk and early electro- though it’s not anything that’s immediately apparent to listeners, instead leaving the initial impression of muscular, cohesive and menacing experimental music, pure and simple. The opening track ‘Arrival’ starts with a few scattered bleeps that build into a bonafide staticdrenched drone, leading to the expectation we have a particularly abrasive affair on our hands. However, a lumbering beat staggers into the frame with the 10-minute epic ‘Terraforming’, and as it turns out, the percussion in one of the album’s defining elements. That intermittent thudding kickdrum on ‘Vibedoktor’ would be enough to make anyone uneasy, while the percussion reaches a world-destroying peak on the aptly titled ‘Drumroll’. However, it offers stability to the otherwise wild nature of the soundscapes. This is dense experimental music, where there’s still evidently been a huge amount of attention paid to structural integrity. Released October 20th. ANGUS PATERSON
