Propeller Falls EP

Propeller Falls / Out Cold / Game Theory

Release Date: 10th April 2011

Promo mix: http://snd.sc/f8mEeQ

About one year ago, back when trawling through Myspace wasn't such a frustratingly fruitless task, I stumbled across something called Magnets. The page was totally black with a small animation of an endless road at night. It drew me in straight away. It was techno music, mixed with elements of EBM and house, clearly made on analogue equipment. Simple, sparse, atmospheric, hypnotic yet, all the while, punchy enough to break your headphones. A message was sent, the conversation began and twelve months on we have something very special to give to you.

Magnets is the project of Alex Mac, a London based producer and DJ. We're incredibly happy to have his debut release on Kill Em All. In his own words, the music "draws influence from the days when all you needed was a drum machine, a synth and an idea". The EP consists of three dancefloor bombs if ever we've heard 'em. I've had people in Fabric literally run up to me with their iPhones, desperate to know what the tracks are when they've heard them on that system. Yeah, so that sentence might sound like a crass PR tool but it's true and anyway, we're allowed to be excited. I'm following Sheen's example and being outwardly proud of my decisions (except with, y'know, fewer porn stars and lower levels of domestic violence).

Alex was in the band Simian, who managed to release two well received albums before imploding. It was with James Ford and Jas Shaw (the blonde bombshell Mr. Shaw actually helped mix this EP) in the pre Simian years that they built a studio in their house in Manchester, became inebriated on the hot dust kicking out of their old equipment and worked out how to make records. Put in the time and you will be rewarded.

Kisses (Stopmakingme Remix)

2010-11-03T03:34:00.000-07:00

Here's a remix I made for ace new band Kisses. I really like the feel of their records, it’s very dream-like. I wanted my remix to retain at least some of that which is why it’s quite long. It’s all based around super simple melodies and my obsession with one note basslines.

Kill Em All at The Lock Tavern

2010-10-04T03:35:00.000-07:00

AUCHENTOSHAN presents
KILL EM ALL
THE LOCK TAVERN
SUNDAY 24TH OCTOBER
3PM - LATE
...
FREE ENTRY ALL DAY

BOY 8-BIT
FILTHY DUKES
JUSTIN ROBERTSON (DEADSTOCK 33s)
BECOMING REAL live
STOPMAKINGME

http://www.kill-em-all.co.uk/

We're holding another special intimate party at our spiritual home of The Lock Tavern. It's FREE to get in all day but we recommend getting there early as when it's full, it's full.

Kill Em All kicks off a series of exciting and innovative sundays created by Auchentoshan & The Lock Tavern. Each sunday begins at 3:30pm with a unique introduction to Auchentoshan, the Triple Distilled Single Malt Whisky from Glasgow. As the day unfolds so does the music...

Boy 8-Bit is our favourite newcomer of the past two years - he's about to become a superstar in the world of techno. His most recent EP on Tiga's Turbo Recordings got us even more excited than we already were. This will be monumental in an 80 capacity room.

Justin Robertson is a true hero of ours. He's clubland royalty. His style has seen an amazing reinvention of late with the birth of The Deadstock 33s, taking influences from outside of nightclubs and throwing them on the dancefloor. His remix of Erol/Boys Noize's 'Lemonade' track made every kid in the blog world turn their heads.

Becoming Real makes beautiful but dynamic electronica. He's a great hope in the current field of London 'bass music' and it's pretty special live.

Holding the fort are Kill Em All residents Filthy Dukes (whose new club tracks have been blowing minds at festivals all summer) and Stopmakingme who is about to drop his debut EP on our very own Kill Em All Records label.

There will be a series of Auchentoshan Presents Sundays at The Lock Tavern in October, November & December with Sunday Best, Bloggers Delight & Fact Magazine with acts like Rob Da Bank, Round Table Knights, Casper C, Skull Juice, Nik Nik Nik, plus loads more tbc

Come and join us for a proper Sunday party and Auchentoshan tastings - what's not to like !See more

"Gallops' post-rock instrumental, re-mixed and re-jigged into a slow-mo, slow-burn disco grower."

This is ace.

Live Dj Radio Mix - July by Nadiaksaiba on Mixcloud

She loves telling us off! In her own words: "Live mix recorded for the radio and never used, so no edits it's pretty rough, so a lot of NRG and pumping till the end, like modern WMBX hot mix, or WLJB FM includes the biggest tune of the year so far, but leave you to work that out."

Battant

2010-08-03T01:59:00.000-07:00

I woke up with this in my head. What a modern classic!

Deadstock 33s

2010-07-27T01:43:00.000-07:00

The legend that is Justin Robertson is killing it all over again with his new project Deadstock 33s. This original single comes out in September and it's huge. I love how he has taken the live 'disco' sound and produced it in such a way that it'll work in any big room environment. Amazing!

You can download my new remix for free, exclusively from the fabric blog. Click here to the 320 of it.

The remix has had some very flattering responses in the techno world:

"This mix is great... I'll definitely give it a spin next time I'm out." - Jas, Simian Mobile Disco

"Love this rmx! Big groove." - Brodinski

I've been in the studio the past few weeks, working on some original stuff. It's all taking shape and it's very exciting. I'm also working on a collaboration with one of my favourite producers/DJs. Details (and hopefully music!) to be revealed soon.

Rubber

2010-06-22T04:31:00.000-07:00

I actually can't wait for Oizo's new film, Rubber. It's about a car tire which travels around the desert killing people by making their heads explode. Now that's a plot.

Daft Funk

2010-06-19T10:05:00.000-07:00

New one from Social Disco Club. This is going to destroy tents at festivals this summer! Everyone recognises this sample. Makes you realise what amazing crate diggers Daft Punk are

Cafe OTO in Dalston has some really interesting (and pretty out there) things happening. They’re putting on truly leftfield music almost seven nights a week. It’s reassuring to know that places like this can still exist. A few people have told me about this event tomorrow (Thursday). The flyer explains it all – plus it looks great (click the image to enlarge.)

NYC Moves To The Sound Of LA

2010-06-04T02:38:00.000-07:00

Just heard this on 6Music. It's actually pretty tragic we're losing it. This is definitely the kind of band we used to book at the Kill Em All Barfly days. Sounds like a cross between The Rapture and The MC5 - amazing energy!

ZNTN

2010-06-04T01:49:00.000-07:00

Our favourite Astro Latino ZNTN is giving away two new remixes. We like weirdness in dance music. Therefore, we like these. Check out his debut EP on Astrolab, if you can still find a copy!

Dance Dance Dance

2010-06-03T07:32:00.000-07:00

So I went to this Subject60 party in Holborn last night. Pretty amazing (and huge) space. Kele from Bloc Party DJed, as did old friends of Kill Em All Queens Of Noize. Plus, Lykke Li played live and was genuinely really good. I had forgotten how many of her songs I really like. Anyone who doesn't know the Dixon edit of Dance Dance Dance needs it in their life.

Virgil Howe has some serious music credentials. He is putting on his own night at The Big Chill House on 5th June with The Horrors DJing plus a really cool sounding live/DJ/sample set with him drumming over the top of it. If it's anything like the (first half) of this mix, it'll be one hell of a headcuss. This is some intense disco. I love it!

A quick drink with Erol Alkan

2010-05-25T04:06:00.001-07:00

I realised that I never posted this up here. An interview I did for Dummy Mag with Erol Alkan - one of our favourite people around.

EROL ALKAN remains one of the most vital figures in clubland. His legendary ‘alternative’ night Trash ran for ten years and, with no exaggeration intended, changed the way me and my friends danced to music in clubs. It was the single reason I began DJing. I would visit the website, scouring the charts and podcasts every single day – a full year or two before I had even visited The End. Under different monikers, he has turned kids onto psychedelia, disco, proto-house, big beat, post-punk, bootlegs and, of course, huge club music; his two singles with Boys Noize (interview here from last year) have worked the blog world into a lather this past year. Now, his Phantasy record label and BBC 6Music residency have given people even more insight into his tastes. I met Erol for a lunchtime coffee in a bar playing an odd mixture of Notorious BIG and The Velvet Underground.

Dan: Phantasy really looks to be taking shape, representing a lot of different styles within your world.

Erol: The key for me is to make sure it’s not all one type of music – not just to represent what I do as a club DJ. It’s one way of being able to draw people in who might be interested in one side of what I do. I don’t have this aspiration to set the label up as a brand – we don’t even have a logo and I’m really happy about that. The deals that we do with artists are suicidal for a label. The concept of vinyl has depleted in certain circles and we just want to create an artefact that people want to own.

I went home to my parents’ house the other week and was flicking through a lot of the records I bought as a teenager. All the Output stuff and DFA releases – these records literally changed my life back then. I’m really glad I actually own these things and they’re not just MP3s on my computer.

Yeah absolutely. I mean, for us, there hasn’t really been any sort of game plan. We’ve just put out records we’ve really liked. The difference between ‘Bangkok’ and Babe Terror is huge – they are almost exact opposites of the musical spectrum but there is something which runs between them all and hopefully makes sense.

That’s you, right? Erol Alkan and your musical taste…

Yeah but…I like it when people don’t like something else I do. I’ve always liked the fact that people can be into Beyond The Wizard’s Sleeve but hate what I do as a club DJ. Or that there are people who were really into Trash but would never go to Bugged Out. I think that’s a weirdly positive thing. I’ve never really wanted these things to cross over – I feel that they have more strength being separate.

You have reached a stage where a lot of people look to you. I remember once reading something you’d posted before a festival: “please don’t come expecting a Trash set, I’ll be playing techno.” Now, I may be way off here, but have you ever felt restricted by people’s expectations of you?

My staunch belief was that whatever I did at Trash remained within those walls because the success of the club wasn’t just down to what I did – is was everyone else from the other DJs to the sound man to the manager and the door staff. It was something we achieved as a collective and I didn’t want to tour it. It probably was a good idea because it allowed me to create this other ‘persona’ which, I’d like to add, was [leans right into the mic] all completely accidental [laughs]. I never wanted to be a big club DJ, I was just playing records I liked and doing it in a way which I found exciting. If I had just gone around the world playing Trash sets, would I still be doing it now? The answer is no. I could still play sets like that if I felt alternative music was still in the same place but it isn’t. What Trash helped create kind of destroyed what alternative music was back then. Trash was electronic club music and guitar bands played together – now bands want to be both things.

And nowadays, do you ever feel a certain responsibility as to what you should play as a club DJ?

It all depends how well you can read a situation. For example, a few years ago, I would play a club set and throw in what people called ‘curveballs’ such as Rage Against The Machine or The White Stripes. Thinking about it, what would today’s equivalent of a curveball be for me? Where a track is completely from another place. 7 Nation Army was probably the last great one. The curveball now is not to a have a curveball. I started playing Killing In The Name in 2006 and it was great but the electronic music it aligned with… all got a bit pumped at that point. Which I’m really sorry about!! [laughs]. It all got a bit over the top.

Were you constrained by that noisy sound for a period? I think the last club mix on your podcast was from Global Gathering a few years ago and almost seemed like it was you seeing how far you could push it. It’s like you were saying “that is as far as I will go.”

You know what? I deliberately stopped putting club music up. There was no point after that. If people are going to subscribe to your podcast then try and give them something which they may not be aware of. If you are eighteen years old and you haven’t been exposed to disco music or psychedelia or the stuff I play on my 6Music show and it’s right in front of you then I think that’s a good thing. If you can plant these seeds then hopefully it can expand your horizons as to what you can do as a DJ.

What’s your current take on the state of club music within our world? I’ve seen you play a lot of times and recently you seem the most comfortable you’ve been in the past few years. You’re definitely enjoying it a lot and there are loads of different styles coming together.

Oh yeah definitely. The last six months have probably been the best time in the past two and a half years. It always happens this way. Going back to Trash – that ran for ten years. There was always this sort of rule that you’d spend two years working towards something and trying to pull bits together, finding the things you really like and set it up in a way where the next year and a half would just unfold in front of you. It happens culturally too. Just look at the few years after Britpop ended – they were some murky times and all the ‘big’ records were terrible. The same happens with DJing, you can’t expect it to always be high – you’re playing other peoples records and you’re only in control of a part of it. But you can’t complain and say there aren’t enough good records out there, you need to be making the good records as well. For instance, the records with Boys Noize have often been the biggest tracks in our DJ sets

And you mentioned the other day that your two releases so far have both been split into two halves…

Yeah, I just feel that something which satisfies me is to have one side as a banger and then there’s another track which has a different quality and depth to it. I like that polarising thing. The worst thing in the world would be for it to all be a linear streak of averageness. I like things to be high or low, up or down… because that’s how I am all of the time.

Throughout the years, you’ve always seemed to be a fan of, for want of a much better phrase, ‘bombastic records.’ Things with an out there drum break in the middle, or tracks which stop dead with a spoken word bit or the tempo goes nuts. So, I’m guessing this plays a big part when you’re making music?

Totally. I just like oddness really. I like things which are unpredictable and strange. Music that wakes people up. I guess there’s another strain of ‘bombastic’ overly banging music, which I’m not a fan of. But I do like records which twist and turn and the first time people hear it they remember it. I do definitely look for those records.

I always associate that Coughing Is Good record with you. It just cuts into two people having a conversation. The crowd must have thought “what the hell is going on?”

Yeah I used to love that!

I’ve recently been fascinated by a lot of DJ history stories, particularly early New York club land. That idea of the DJ turning off all the lights and playing a sound effect record of an approaching train and slamming the strobe on with a beat and the place going crazy. For me personally, there are too many DJs obsessed with making a perfectly mixed two hour set of 4/4 beats. You’re obviously someone who isn’t like that because you don’t originally come from that house world…

Nah, it’s all about keeping myself interested. I’m a firm believer that the lighting guy is as important as the DJ if he’s locked in with you. If they’re on your side then the night has been twice as good because there’s that other sensory level to everything. I just wish I could control the lights more whilst I was DJing [laughs]. Actually, all the indie clubs used to have the smoke machine and strobe next to you in the booth, and I used to control all those elements whilst I DJed, so I come from that world anyway.

There was so much buzz around your 7 hour set. How important a role has Bugged Out played in your career?

The most, the most!!. Johnno [Burgess, the man behind it all] took a punt on me. One night I ended up ‘round his house and he had some decks set up. Being so young I jumped on them and pulled records out of his collection and DJed for what seemed like hours. He probably saw enough proof that I could mix two records so he called me up and asked if I wanted to fill in for David Holmes at fabric. I was going to go anyway… After an hour into my set he asked if I wanted to be a resident. They set me up with Decked Out who went on to be my agents and I’ve DJed every weekend since and that was nine years ago. It has all felt really natural. I didn’t have the confidence to think I would ever infiltrate ‘real’ clubland. Back then I never thought I’d ever get to play on CD players that worked or record players that didn’t jump.

Here's a new mix from our man Tosh Ohta. Everyone's talking about this new 'proto-house' revival. Here's someone who actually knows what's he's talking about.

Legendary Children Mix - March 2010 by Tosh Ohta

"This mix was completed with x2 Technics 1210s & a Pioneer DJM 600 Mixer

My friends at www.legendarychildren.co.uk kindly asked me to do a guest mix for them.. I struggled with shortlisting a 1 hour mix and have ended up with a 30 track mix on 61 minutes of music - all (except for 3) are from between 1987 to 1991 ranging from acid, latin freestyle, industrial, early rave and a bit of Belgium..These are records that I have been crate digging in record shops and scavenging on discogs and ebay for years (and borrowed from friends - thanks) This is a summary of why I would have loved to have been a teenager in the late 80s.

Have a look at the blog http://www.legendarychildren.co.uk and read the book Adventures in Wonderland by Sheryl Garratt." - Tosh

Here's a mix for Dummy Magazine. You can read the full article and interview at their ace website.

Dummy Mix 27 // Stopmakingme

"This is the sort of mix I’ve had in my head for a while. It represents the style of electro, techno and the like you can find me playing in clubs; a mixture of brand new stuff, old tracks and a few things I’ve been hammering recently. Never too noisy but full of big, exciting tracks. To sound like a broken record, it’s “club music to make girls dance too.”"

No tracklisting for this one yet but feel free to message me and I'll let you know tracks. It's the last mix I'm making for a while.

The Natural Disasters

2010-03-07T02:00:00.000-08:00

A creator of ace italo space disco and edits of the early house sound, Fab May Day is a producer we're keeping an eye on. Here's some blurb that actually got us excited for once.

With reference to the god heads of Levan, Robotnick, Moroder, Wilson and in tribute to the pilgrims of the road who would travel to the paradise disco of Rimmini Cosmic to hear Daniele Baldelli (another of his heroes) and the unsung heroes of the Chicago HOT MIX FIVE

in his own words “BE NATURAL, BE A DISASTER. The Natural Disasters is the project of Fabio Calzolari, resident dj and art director of the biblical night "Friday I'm in Rock" in Perugia, and of "I Hate 80's" in Rome . He offers his personal vision of music and of the world, between African instruments and 80's pop, cosmic sound and Chinese guitars.

I play I Hate 80s on Friday 19th March and I can't wait! Sounds like this guy knows what he's talking about.

This guy has been killing it for a while now. It's pretty deep and the kind of music that could easily veer into very boring territory but there is a certain energy to MCDE's productions that turns my head every time. This is his new remix for Toby Tobias which, in his own words, is "inspired by the best outdoor gigs last year, and the spirit of 70s (loft) disco.. made for breezy summernights, open air, near the beach, beautiful people around you, and the dj spinning slow sexy jams like this."

My chat with Rory Phillips

2010-02-13T10:29:00.000-08:00

You can now see my chat with Rory Phillips over at Dummy Online by clicking here. It's a new regular feature I'll be doing where I talk with people from our little 'scene' and (hopefully) discuss some interesting things. Next up: Matt Walsh. You can also see this piece over at the Erol Alkan website.

...'Eclecticism’ is considered a dirty word and not actually something I would used to describe myself but as I said I like to see the similarities in things, rather than the differences. It’s finding those threads that can bring you from one place to a different point but always taking small steps...

Stopmakingme - OWTIC 001

2010-02-08T04:55:00.000-08:00

Here's a regular little feature I'll be contributing to OWTIC. A mix of brand new music making my life better right now. It's more a collection of records rather than a DJ mix but the idea is that it should be listened to in this order. A mixtape, if you will. It's always a really enjoyable exercise to do such projects. It gives me the opportunity to bring out some different tracks I wouldn't normally play in clubs. Put it on your iPod and have a listen whilst walking around in the cold. Hope y'all like it!

Go and check out a great interview with Kill Em All favourite and source of constant inspiration, Ewan Pearson, over at Dummy. What a bloke. Aside from all his other achievements, the man has a Midas touch when it comes to remixing, as this track reminds us:
