Jason Fine - Boing Poum Tchak DJ mix 012

I gathered some old songs that i liked that seemed like they would  work well for remixing/playing around… along with some  of my own  from the Future thought album, and threw together a set in ableton.

[En] Vakula [bptchk! 011]

March 26th, 2009 by Pierre-Nicolas Mader

vakula

Two years ago, during my trip, I drove into a small place named Putivl, near the town of Konotop. There I realized how much I love Ukraine. Too many things in this land about history, secret past… And I wanted to create national hero Vakula, as in the old Ukrainian fairy tales.

[En] Podcasts Poum Tchak! [001-010] Retrospective

March 21st, 2009 by Pierre-Nicolas Mader

Before uploading the 11th Podcast Poum Tchak! in a few days (which will certainly be considered as one of the most interesting podcast of 2009 – only made with exclusive and unreleased material), it’s time to go back on the first ten mixes taken from the story of Boing Poum Tchak!.

[En] Tactile Soul [bptchk! 008] + Interview

January 30th, 2009 by Pierre-Nicolas Mader

Tactile Soul

After a long time of very little inspiration, I believe that there is some great records being made at the moment, a lot of them are reminiscent of old detroit techno, which is the style that first caught my attention a long time ago. I think it is a very healthy time for techno production, so buying records is getting easier again.

[En] Nicolas / Boing Poum Tchak! [bptchk! 007]

January 16th, 2009 by Nicolas

Nicolas mix

2008 is over and it was time for me to podcast the tracks I liked and played the most during the year. From jazzy house to more techy groove, in no way we can say electronic music was dead. The idea was to sum up a longer gig in a 90 minutes podcast. A deep intro building slowly into peak time house before a kind of breathing (Way Out West – Spaceman), to then going up again on more uplifting sound. In a nutshell, don’t expect a standard boring 4/4 dj mix, life is about vibes and contrasts, so is music !

[Fr] Free : Move D – Live in Philadelphia

October 16th, 2008 by Pierre-Nicolas Mader

move d

C’est l’un des retours les plus acclamés depuis la réédition de son album Kunststoff il y a deux ans sur City Center Offices. David Moufang alias Move D était déjà une légende underground dans les 90’s avec une poignée de maxis sortis chez Warp, Compost ou Source, et est devenu aujourd’hui une véritable machine à groove que l’on arrête plus (pas moins d’une quinzaine de disques depuis 2006 sur Philpot, Modern Love, Workshop, Uzuri et évidemment son album Songs from the beehive sur Smallville en compagnie de son acolyte Benjamin Brunn).

[Fr] Free mix : Runaway (Rekids / I’m a cliché)

October 13th, 2008 by Pierre-Nicolas Mader

runaway

Runaway est un projet que l’on surveille de près depuis la sortie l’an dernier de leur très bon maxi She did it for the money sur I’m a cliché. D’ailleurs cet automne Marco Cabral et Jacques Renault (oui comme dans Twin Peaks, sauf que ce dernier a été élu meilleur dj par un magazine New-Yorkais en 2007 et semble un peu plus cool) montent encore d’un level avec leur nouveau maxi chez Rekids Brooklyn club jam, ambiance NYC avec son piano couleur locale, ses toms fat et sa touche low-acid.

[Fr] Free mix : Serge Santiago

October 8th, 2008 by Pierre-Nicolas Mader

Serge Santiago

Si le nom de Serge Santiago ne vous évoque rien, ce n’est pas grave, dites vous qu’il rime avec syntés italo, vibes disco, ambiance rétro mais pas vieillot. On l’a croisé sur Boing Poum Tchak! ici pour son remix d’Hercules and Love Affair et on le retrouve maintenant pour un mix plutôt festif, vocal et loud, avec en bonus le morceau original samplé par Justice sur Phantom (et son fameux phrasé vocoderisé). De quoi démarrer un petit before de milieu de semaine de la meilleure des manières. Read the rest of this entry »

Music should always come from the heart and soul, no matter what kind of music. And emotions don’t care if they are transported by old or new music. Music has to touch me, that’s most important.

[Fr] Free Mix : agent2 – The stars my destination (rebel intelligence)

October 1st, 2008 by Pierre-Nicolas Mader

agent2

Découverte il y a peu d’un excellent mix techno aux accents raw à la Berghain, deep, electronica et moderne. Le nom d’agent2 ne vous dira surement rien (sauf à ceux qui étaient au Batofar le 19 septembre dernier). Sachez juste que ce jeune trentenaire est anglais et qu’il organise souvent avec son équipe Rebel Intelligence (rien à voir avec Damian Lazarus), des soirées techno avec des line-ups du style Phuture 303, Surgeon, Synapse, et qu’il a déjà joué aux côtés de pointures comme Convextion ou $tinkworx.

[Fr] Live session : Moritz von Oswald feat. Tikiman (Moscow 08)

September 30th, 2008 by Pierre-Nicolas Mader

moritz von oswald tikiman

Illustration de la facette dub-roots de Moritz von Oswald (moitié de Maurizio, duo qui a juste révolutionné la façon de penser la techno au milieu des années 90 avec Basic Channel, en dépouillant les ensembles et en explorant la richesse sonique des éléments) lors d’un live enregistré à Moscou cette année. Moritz dans le rôle du selector, Tikiman celui de toaster, et c’est parti pour deux heures de concert chaud à l’ancienne, avec quelques passages magnifiques.

On parlait hier du blog de Versatile, et à ce propos on y trouve des choses diverses et variées, parfois très intéressantes comme ce mix de velours, enregistré au mois de juillet dernier par le taulier Gilb’r. Un petit bonus est même proposé à celui qui reconnaitra tous les titres : “Un siège de voiture à gagner à celui qui trouve le tracklisting !” Alors pas d’hésitation, on fonce !

[Fr] Electrochoc de Laurent Garnier en audiobook (gratuit)

September 27th, 2008 by Pierre-Nicolas Mader

laurent garnier - electrochoc

Livre de référence et d’utilité publique, Electrochoc, la biographie de Laurent Garnier (co-écrit avec le journaliste David Brun-Lambert) refait parler d’elle, grâce à sa version audio, lue par un animateur de l’émission Electrode diffusée sur O2 Radio à Bordeaux. Avec en bonus, les morceaux d’époque playlistés par Garnier au fil des pages de l’ouvrage. Pour l’instant “seulement” 9 chapitres sur 12 ont été enregistrés, ce qui équivaut quand même à 14 émissions d’une heure. De quoi faire en attendant la suite donc. Read the rest of this entry »

Alors quoi de neuf au menu de cette 101° référence ? Un simple deux-titres, mais qui réserve une pure bombe en plat de résistance. De quoi combler les appétits les plus aiguisés.

[En] Guest mix : Break SL (philpot) [bptchk! 005]

July 1st, 2008 by Pierre-Nicolas Mader

break sl philpot

Even if this word is overused nowadays, I would call my sound “deep”. As dj I like playing slow, I always try to make a journey with the audience, so I play Techno-House from Detroit to Chicago, Disco, Jazz, Dub and Hip-Hop. It always depends on the situation and the audience… But I always try to transfer the soul and the energy of this wonderful music.

aphex twin live dj set coachella 2008

Aphex Twin in the light ? Playing a track of Gregor Tresher ? Posing with people who are taking pictures ? Well ! This is the magic of the Coachella festival in California. The Mozart of electronic music has played a dj set (from Run DMC, LFO, Public Enemy to Hardcore and Drill’n'bass records), there in April 2008.

I selected my current favourites as well as a couple of personal classics. And I also had received some new fresh tunes from friends that I wanted to play. I’m always trying out an order before I record a mix, but then I just let it flow and improvise the selection while I’m DJing…

[En] Severence radio mix

June 7th, 2008 by Pierre-Nicolas Mader

severance

Severence is one of the newcomers of the new ambiant/deep/dub techno scene. For the moment he has released only one track on the Quantec’s imprint Shoreless, but we are already looking for more music from this 30 year old spanish guy. Sometimes he plays records for some radios in Spain and on Internet. His last mix is about 100 minutes of good waves featuring great artists and labels like Styrax, Echospace, Bvdub, Quantec, Echocord, Sven Weisemann, Atheus, Kit Clayton, Havantepe… Read the rest of this entry »
