The second hour begins as he describes it : "with a particular favourite from Sasha’s ‘Airdrawndagger’ which queues me up to deliver a further hour of “standard fare” dancefloor tunes which I might want to play during an eg. 2300-0000 slot." Find included some of his releases! Dark Arps’ sound is a blend of broken beat and techno underpinned with dark, razor-sharp melodies, progressive hooks and tough basslines... futuristic, emotional and always danceable.

On this episode #127, Le Catalyste Standalone Series receives Mx.Tactful for a weird idm-braintech-electro set with lots of validated references with the regretted Mira Calix, and some other women that strongly marked the electronic music scene like Andrea Parker, K-hand, Ixindamix and Dasha Rush to name a few. This name dropping shall easily makes you imagine how vast is the eclecticism of this set and how strong will be the intensity of the journey! Mx.Tactful is one of many to have come of age in the thick of UK rave culture. As she and her friends got sick of dodging police and bad pills, they retreated to the smokey clubs and bedroom studios that could still offer respite from post-thatcher chaos. While some of her friends had found moderate success by the late '90s, Mx.Tactful's music stayed largely unheard. This all changed after a chance encounter in a welfare office led to the release of 'MARGIN MACHINEs' on Table Jelly Dishes; a new label from Lara David aka Chekov. Table Jelly Dishes is a new home for hyperkinetic techno and punchdrunk pop, curated by Lara David off the back of releases on Peach Discs and Cong Burn.

The Standalone Series welcomes this week a seasoned DJ, Urko, (@urko-aka-redrum) also formerly known as REDRUM. This Lille resident was active on the local techno scene for a long time and toured Belgian clubs in the early 2ks, eventually residing in the renowned "The Kiosk" in Lille. With HI-tech Procedure and his friend Eric Fetcher, they also organized a lot of gigs. After a few years of hiatus, this historian of the northern scene returns to the decks through @moicflo and Les Charades Electroniques, and now on the web-radio ECUnderground where he manages the podcast "Drink My Soul" in the company of your host and Fik. Very eclectic, he re-explores all styles: electronica, sci-fi techno or the rougher sounds of Birmingham. He gives us here a rather Dark Electro and rough breaks set which brings together some classics: REGIS, TENSAL or LUKE SLATER, and more felt tracks, from his last encounters and peregrinations with ADJ, VSK, Kim COSMIK, oake or ERRORBEAUTY. https://soundcloud.com/stefan-urko www.mixcloud.com/stefan-urko/ PLAYLIST : 1.

Cette semaine, c'est la Parisienne @Substencia qui rejoint la liste des invités des Standalone Series. DJ et productrice dont le son se situe surtout dans l'univers techno bien industrielle, elle s'est pliée pour nous à un exercice de style, fouillant dans ses influences musicales de ces 20 dernières années. Il en sort un set tantôt ambient-industriel, rythmique noise, tantôt broken-beat/idm, en passant bien évidemment par des classiques techno et pure industrielle. Pour créer cette ambiance parfois cosmique et métallique, elle nous dit avoir "tenté d'harmoniser au mieux l’ensemble en choisissant des morceaux à la rythmique particulièrement dense et sophistiquée, tout en prenant soin de faire ressortir l’émotion des morceaux plus electronica comme ceux de Gescom, ou encore cette balade improbable et méconnue de Surgeon." Tout est dit ! Tracklist plus bas! Enjoy :) Niveau actu, elle vient de sortir un Ep sur le label @DNVTT et un morceau fraichement sorti sur Haunted (https://hntd.bandcamp.com/track/taman ) en plus de tous les podcasts qu'elle distille en ces moments confinés.

ՏɑӀҽղƘօ_ Pandemic Mixtape 😷 Salenko is a musical activist, mushroom hunter, record hoarder, MoustacheMusic Radio host since 2012 and a globetrotter currently residing isolatedly in Belgium. He never really had the ambition to become a dj nor producer. He sees himself more as a connector between artists, labels and event hosts . He has been active behind the music scenes for many years. MoustacheMusic Radio is his weekly playground, feeding his insatiable hunger for music across all borders of the electronic spectrum. It has been the portal to quite some side jobs in music industry, going from editor for nightlife magazines, over talent scout for underground labels to stage management and artist hospitality for major Belgian Techno and Acid party concepts and summer festivals. Currently working on a new project. Under @Xntrick's (see Le Catalyste episode #87) supervision he'll run the Belgian crossover label @Bugklinik ) Expect a storytelling recording that slightly unfolds from ambient and experimental to an uptempo techno mix with a raw en lofi feel. The remarkable intro of this 'Pandemic mixtape' contains a 2014 speech that will open many people's eyes. It told us he must be an activist and he confirmed that the current global situation has been his source of inspiration. @Salenko_1 @MoustacheMusic-blog Exclusively recorded for LE CATALYSTE by @Salenko_1, 03/04/2020 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓 ☣️ Stephan Petranek - TED Talk (2014) ☣️ ROOK - Darker Shade (autumna javelin rmx) ☣️ Paleowolf - Nightfire (Prometheus Studio) ☣️ Rrose - Pecking Order (Eaux) ☣️ Eavesdropper - Radio Archive (Zigmond Theatre Play Scene04-05_V03) ☣️ Yves De Mey - Wearing Off (Latency) ☣️ () () () - Scapula (Low Income $quad) ☣️ Zaliva-D - Faraway (Knekelhuis) ☣️ Against All Logic - If You Can't Do It Good, Do It Hard ft.
