The CONDUIT // 066 – Sean-Michael Yoder

// Sean-Michael Yoder //

What was initially supposed to be an annual report mix has turned into a collection of tracks reflecting the not-so-static nature of our winter weather around here. Some days it has been warm and sunny with record high temperatures while other days have brought us record snowfall. With that in mind, we bring the local flavor for the 66th installment of this series.- Sean-Michael Yoder

The CONDUIT // 065 – Cyanwave

theCONDUIT_065Download


// Cyanwave //

In a recent conversation with a friend he mentioned that the West Coast had it’s own special techno sound, very dark and warehouse friendly. In some ways it reminded him of the free-for-all spirit of the legendary Midwest scene that informed his youth. We’ve been fortunate to present mixes from a whole crop of artists from out West flying that flag, the best, in our opinion, and we’ve gotten quite an education. Cyanwave offers a different look at the West Coast vibe on our 65th edition of The CONDUIT. The duo dives deeper and gets weirder, while still tapping to the essential elements of the artform – rhythm and melody. - Sean-Michael Yoder

The CONDUIT // 064 – Complicit

theCONDUIT_064Download


// Complicit //

Minneapolis duo Complicit recently came to our attention via a remix for Northwest duo Cyanwave. We are consistently impressed these days with the techno coming out of the western half of the US and hope to continue featuring that as part of our lengthy investigations in 2013. The husband and wife duo of Travis and Tanya Norman’s official motto is ‘keeping techno sexy’, they’ve been doing that since 2009 and really seem to be hitting their stride this year. We were pleased when Tanya responded to our request for a mix and subsequently delivered a subtle and artful mix, just the way we like it…. - Sean-Michael Yoder

Mexico City artist Lao has completely blown us away with his futuristic bass sound for labels such as Blaq and his own Extasis label. In our opinion, this is the current sound from the streets bubbling up in Mexico City and we’re pleased to present this mix as part of our series. - Sean-Michael Yoder

// James Patrick //

James Patrick is a well-respected music production teacher and hails from Minneapolis. On his mix for the CONDUIT series he brings into sharp focus the close connections between various artists in the North American scene. Patrick has a recent EP out on Guadalajara label Nonpop so this mix was an excellent opportunity to showcase a US artist involved with the Catalogo MX project out of Mexico and tie all of the connections together.  - Sean-Michael Yoder

// Bio //

Sone is Seattle based DJ & Producer Brian Sonnleitner. His first exploits into music was drumming in various punk and ska bands growing up in Wisconsin. Then late one August evening, after witnessing Chris Liberator melt his mind, Brian shifted gears into pursuing his passion for techno full time. Now a DJ of over a decade, his sets push towards intense builds and disorientating breakdowns all while being stuffed full of tension, but always maintaining the all-important element of the dance floor.

In 2008 Brian moved into the realm of production with his tracks exploring the bigger and darker side of techno. Sone’s remix contest for his track “Recovery Mode”, released off From 0-1, received far reaching interest and support with submissions coming in from all over North America, the UK, and Hungary. Brian is also the co-owner of From 0-1 and the Logistics Manager for the label. One of Seattle’s brightest up-and-comers, the years ahead will surely see his impact on the Northwest and beyond.

// Bio //

Southern raised, Northwest-based DJ and producer Roger Veillon, known as LilRoj to some, is at the front of the new generation of techno, crafting his trademark with funky deep and uncompromising sounds. Learning to beatmatch in the early 90′s, by the time Roj reached the age of 18, he had already developed his own profound blend of progressive techno and breakbeats and began making appearances in some of Louisiana’s top nightclubs and bars. Music production came natural as he began to gain studio access and resources in 2002. By 2008, he gained momentum with his debut remix of JAK’s “Relax,” on SubSensory Recordings, and is now a key producer and remixer for the label. These days, Roger’s sounds in the studio and on the decks are considered to be deep and engaging, characterized by funky atmospheres with plenty of low end emissions, and slightly more free-spirited and experimental than most common house and techno. In addition to a variety of remixes, Roger has since released three well-received original EPs on SubSensory as well as tracks and remixes on labels including Special Recordings and 530Techno.
