” This piece of music represents a collection of tracks from some of my biggest influences. It seems as though I’ve always had an appreciation for those producers that were trying to bend the rules, and say something about the techno that wasn’t being spoken in other forms of the genre. My hope is to offer this set as a testament to my respect for their work and to let them know: I hear you. ”

New mix! And this week, it’s an upbeat take on tech house in Austin, TX. This one is called “Live For Lanai” and features some of my favorite deep house and techno tracks from 2009 and as far back as 2006. These are solid head-bobbing testaments to the club scene here in Austin. With a few new venues opening up, and a few holding strong, this list of tracks represents, I feel, the vibe found on these roof-top patios, and open air clubs down in Austin’s warehouse district. The track listing is as follows:

Make It Easy (John Tejada Rmx) . Lucine . Ghostly International
Ne Travaillez Jamais . Achim Maerz . Derive
Resting II . Leonid . Statik Entertainment

” After one of those long nights, we ended up on the rooftop of this club downtown called Lanai. The beats were pretty solid all night. This set is inspired by that evening. Thanks to those that were there! We had a great time at the complimentary bottle service before hand! Cheers! Let’s do it again. ”

“This set is built with tracks that have really stood out for me in the last few years. Music, for me is a series of discoveries. That’s what I love about digging through all the online music stores and net labels. You’re presented with tons of new music and it’s right at your finger tips. There are so many talented people out there making music, it’s really quite inspiring. Just when you think you’ve got a good hold on what’s going on, you click a link and are instantly subjected to an avalanche of great stuff. I guess that’s what keeps me interested – the idea that there is a constant state of change, and discovery.

When I begin building a set, it usually starts with a single track. In the case with “Morning Coffee”, I had the ending figured out first. The track, “Whistle like you’re 56″ was something that I stumbled on a year or so ago, and instantly took to. It’s dissident, dubbed-out vocal and rich sound design was a perfect example of what I think the future of dub techno is to be – extreme minimalism, sounds that challenge the time signature, and complex environmental sampling. This single track set the pace for the set’s theme.

I knew I wanted to keep the vibe relaxed, contemplative, yet textured enough to keep things interesting. Echospace in Detroit has some really top-notch producers and I’ve always had a huge respect for what they were/are trying to do with techno. I love that they’ve essentially picked up the torch from Basic Channel and have taken their ideals in a new direction. So, it was natural to turn to them in order to build on the theme.

The actual recording happened one cold morning at home. It was quiet and calm. The mixes seemed to happen in the same way, patient and passive. By all means, this is not music meant for the dance floor, or even for the bar. This music is to be consumed in an active listening environment. So sit back, plug in those head phones, get yourself a cup of good coffee and get back to work.” -jDubb
