    Nick Monaco

    Soul Clap Records signee Nick Monaco takes us on a low-slung, funky journey for the latest Clash DJ podcast. Firmly established as part of the Soul Clap family as the duo begin charting releases on their new label, San Franciscan DJ and producer Nick Monaco’s heady electronic funk – at times reminiscent of Jimmy Edgar – also caught the attention of Claude VonStroke last year, who signed one of his tracks to a Dirtybird ‘Hatched’ comp. Monaco is creative but not precious in his music tastes, as his Clash mix demonstrates. There’s a Happy Mondays remix, a Busta Rhymes acapella (shedding light on his hip hop background) and Cameo’s nostalgic eighties funk journey, ‘Single Life’, sitting next to underground psyche-funkist Architeq, garage-house duo Maribou State, hip house act Wolf + Lamb, and plenty of Monaco’s own – very strong – tracks. It’s an upfront, undeniable mix, injected with soul and passion. Keep an eye out for Monaco’s rise. Nick Monaco’s ‘Naked Is My Nature’ EP is out in February on Soul Clap Records.

    Luciano

    Happily lose yourself in the ludicrously deep grooves of Luciano, as the acclaimed DJ and producer steps up to deliver his Clash mix. The Swiss/Chilean producer has been in the game since the early nineties, and has become of the foremost exponents of the refined, stripped-back but colourful tech-house sound that he helped to drive forward. Much like the man himself, Cadenza Records – the label that Luciano founded with fellow Swiss DJ Quenum – has also been going from strength to strength, showcasing some of the finest contemporary minimal house and techno talent (Monika Kruse, Reboot, Mauro Picotto, etc), and gearing up for celebrating its tenth year in 2013. Luciano has always been able to switch effortlessly from sparse, tech-house landscapes (such as the epic ‘Etudes Electroniques’ EP) to uplifting and melodic moods, like those on ‘Tribute to the Sun’ or dancefloor-primed club tracks (such as ‘Rise of the Angel’ earlier this year, which also makes a sneaky appearance in the mix), and his Clash podcast shows this particular talent to be in rude health. Beginning with atmospherics and tight grooves, the mix then locks into a percussive house exploration before loosening up and exploring rawer, playful rhythms and melodies, subtly exploring a wide range of upfront tech-house moods – some euphoric, some club-driven, all of them deeper-than-deep. As for the tracklist, in his usual enigmatic style, Luciano has decided to leave that for you, dear listeners, to figure out. Look at it, perhaps, as a mystery Christmas gift, waiting to be pieced together, or just listened to and enjoyed straight-up, which isn’t difficult given the quality of both the tracks on offer and the artist putting it all together. A razor-sharp selection from Luciano, which should keep you going all through the festive period.

    ClashMusic DJ Mix Podcast - Seb Rochford

    Wild-haired rhythmical genius Seb Rochford, of jazz futurists Polar Bear, provides a heady juxtaposition of hip hop and shoegaze for the latest Clash DJ podcast. Polar Bear have been a continually experimental and innovative force in contemporary jazz, blending a punky ethos, electronica and rock riffing with traditional jazz ideas, frequently held together by Rochford’s incredible rhythms and dexterity. Starting off with some spacey ambience courtesy of fellow Polar Bear bandmate Leafcutter John, Youngs Teflon and Angel Gaze then verbally smack you around a bit before melting into the hazy tones of The Invisible. And so the cycle continues, with a blend of blissed-out instrumentals peppered with processed beats, Mozart and a dash of world music experimentation, before the relaxed rhyming of 2morrows Victory and Micachu’s ever-charming weirdness bring things to a close. Polar Bear play at Rich Mix, London, on December 15, where they will be performing material from their new album, scheduled for release next year. Seb Rochford tracklist 1. Leafcutter John - Sweepstake 2. Youngs Teflon ft. Grizzi and Scrooge - Incredibles 3. Angel Haze - Werkin Girls 4. The Invisible - Utopia 5. Art Life - Modern Day Hippy 6. Hello Skinny - Knot Life 7. Scrufizzer - Fizzy Intro 8. Gow Row - The Shroud Of Columbus 9. Berliner Philharmoniker - Mozart Requiem 10. Kesarbai Kerkar - Devi Durge 11. Zerfu Demissie – Sek’let 12. Mim Suleiman - Wakati Dawa 13. Icez - Get Ghost Ft. Kush Gang 14. Gunna Dee - Mind Right 15. Black Moon - Powerful Impakt 16. 2morrows Victory - Option 1 17. Micachu And The Shapes - Fall

    Matthias Zimmermann

    Take a deep breath and breathe in the colourful, ambient electronica of Matthias Zimmermann’s Clash mix. We guarantee you won’t be disappointed. German producer Zimmermann makes synth-led electronica with a subtle hip hop wash that hits somewhere between charmingly eccentric electro and early Warp bleep-house, all of it pretty delicious. For his Clash mix, Zimmerman breaks out a host of excellent names, including Daniel Avery, DJ T., Martyn, Daphni and Auntie Flo, but there’s a hidden method to his selections. Firstly, consider the words of Zimmermann’s record label, Sound Pellegrino “All tracks on Matthias Zimmermann’s releases have first names and constitute the population of an Isla we’re gradually exploring with him.” And here’s Zimmermann’s explanation of his mix: “The mix puts the listener in the position of being marooned on the ISLA. It describes the plot in different phases: - shipwreck - blurred perception of the environment - alien impressions - realization of the dramatic situation - starting to brace oneself - exploration - being captivated by peerless purity - looking out for shelter - building a makeshift home - hunting for food - struggle in the wilderness - growing desperation . . . - escape” So there you have it. A desert island drama told through the medium of contemporary electronica – a concept we fully approve of. But whether you get on board with the shipwreck vibe or not, it still makes for damn fine listening. Matthias Zimmermann’s ‘Botanica Dub’ EP is out now on Sound Pellegrino.

    WIFE

    This week's DJ Mix without a concept comes from Tri-Angle/Left Blank hombre WIFE aka Irish metal band Altar Of Plagues' James Kelly. Sparse and creeping guitar pluckings, with haunted tortured electronic strata thrive under the spectral vocals of James Kelly. This textural chameleon is the mind behind Irish black metal band Altar of Plagues and whilst WIFE tears off in a more club cultural direction expect nothing less than fanatical levels of composition. Tri-Angle have stepped in to release WIFE’s first LP as Left Blank continue to feed those around them. His ‘Stoic’ EP gathered up everything involved in the vogue of gothic and rearranges it with deeper drones, more stifled pain and a scintillating dose of existential agony. Disorientating alternative pop never sounded this beguiling. Asked about his choices for the mix WIFE said "The mix does not have any concept. It contains music, old and new, that I find inspirational, moving, and visceral. And in one or two cases I included songs for no reason other than the fact that I enjoy them." WIFE Mix Tracklisting GOD - Fucked Tangerine Dream - Birth of Liquid Plejades LowLife - A Sullen Sky Rachel Grimes -Every Morning Steve Reich - Pulses Portal - Larvae Wilderness - Post Plethoric Rhetoric 1991 - Open to the Dark Ami Dang - Treasure Pom Pom - Untitled (19 A) Ambivalent & Alexi Delano - Lights Down Shifted - Leather Drake - Make Me Proud Ango - True Blue Julianna Barwick - Envelop Chasing Voices - Acid Bathory The Prodigy - Break and Enter
