We’re delighted to bring you this Deadstock 33s & Stopmakingme Mix! Their new 4 track EP, ‘Gravity’, is out now on Tigersushi and it’s awesome…

The latest release from Joakim’s Tigersushi record label sees The Deadstocks 33s collaborating with Stopmakingme for an EP of 4 lush, sometimes Balearic sounding slabs of proto House dance music. Straight off the back of Crackboy’s EP, and Joakim’s debut single from the new album, ‘Gravity’ compounds the summer mood of Dance Music, joining the ranks of artist Gatto Fritto and Soulclap.

For the very few of us in the world that don’t live in London this might be a good moment to talk a little about our artists. Deadstock 33s is the brainchild of Justin Robertson, possibly a living legend in British Dance music. Of his credentials we can find a long serving residency at the Hacienda alongside Sasha and Mike Pickering. Outside of the Hacienda, you could find him doing his bit for Balearic with Most Excellent, a club night that the Chemical Brother’s often cite as their classroom and Justin as their mentor. Never one to stay still Justin formed the group Lionrock combining house music and dub sensibilities, scoring several chart hits, but more importantly remaining at the forefront of what is now known as Progressive House whilst often being cited as an architect of the sound. It is these credentials that justify any-bodies adulation for this artist, let alone Dan from Stopmakingme:

“Justin Robertson was a name I had heard loads about growing up. His name was always cited next to some of my heroes, like Weatherall, who had made names for themselves since the early days of Acid House by playing amazing music from the dustiest corners of their record collection in big clubs. The more I learned about him, the more I realized this guy was the real deal. Skip forward a few years and his Deadstock 33s records are a major staple in my sets. A message from the man himself saying he liked a remix of mine was enough to make me smile for about a week. We got talking and soon realized our tastes crossed over in so many different places. Hawkwind and New Order mean as much to us as Carl Craig or The Emperor Machine. This is what we really wanted to push with the music we started to make together and it is with much excitement that I can play this EP to my friends from home.”

Stopmakingme aka Dan Avery is not as green as it might appear when greeted with the fresh-faced young lad that stares back at you from his website. Having started one of London’s most influential Indie-Dance cross over clubs Kill Em All, Let God Sort Them Out and a record label Kill Em All with partners the Filthy Dukes, it is fair to say Dan has cut his teeth with some of the bigger and more respected names in the UK scene. Djing helped inform the art of the remix with Hercules & Love Affair, DFA 1979, Metronomy, Black Devil Disco Club, In Flagranti and Munk some of the artists he has had the opportunity to re-imagine. Dan’s own releases Rattle Gang 12’s and Kill Em All helped catch the attention of some of his piers, not least partner Justin: “one of the best producers around, an adventurer with an open mind. Dan has no qualms in mixing the influences he loves into something beguiling and new, his sound is fresh and yet instantly classic, our times in the studio are frantic with enthusiasm for sounds from psych to elongated electronica , we’ve tried to capture that joy here, hope you dig”

If all of this seems to be rather grandeurs for a debut PR then simply turn to the music. With the ‘Heavy’ EP this is something that we are not shy on, with 4 tracks of original music, culminating in over 24 minutes of forward-thinking Dance music.

Alan Starck made his storming live debut last Saturday, 11th June, at Ginglik in West London, and we’ve got an exclusive recording of his set, courtesy of the man himself. He also took the time to answer some pressing questions we had about his music. Check out Alan’s website for more…

How long have you been making music?
I started as a classically trained musician, learning about music performance and composing early in my life. Over the years I have dabbled with technology based music production on and off for relaxation but have been seriously interested in it since Ominim Records became interested in my work last year. Since then, I have been beavering away in the studio whenever I get a scrap of time and continually strive to make better tunes to bring me further forward in this little adventure.

Who currently inspires you musically, and who have done so in the past?
I’ve always been heavily interested in music from a broad range of genres. Classical, Jazz, Electronica, Pop… there is always something special to find in all types of music. I generally like music that has some sort of quirky deviation from normal conventions. I like music that provokes unusual emotions that you don’t normally get to experience in real life. I’m often drawn into just a few moments of a track or song and can spend a lot of time listening to and appreciating a few chords or melodic patterns. In terms of electronica, I was heavily into the Detroit techno era that started in the 90s and still enjoy the music that has spawned from this particular sub-genre.

What are your releases to date?
My first relatively down tempo ‘Farrago’ LP 2010 (cover image above). The electric ‘Electrica’ EP 2010. The not necessarily gooder, but more funner ‘Funner’ EP 2011. I’m almost ready to release a new faster tempo album. I played a number of these new tracks at my first live performance at Ginglik earlier this month and they seemed to go down well.

If you could collaborate with anyone – living or dead – who would you chose?
I’d love to write some music with beats by 808state, decorated with lyrics and haunting backing vocals by Kate bush, some orchestral punches scored by Stravinsky, a bit of moody trumpet from Miles Davis as well as some sweeping synthy strings/80s nostalgiation from Prince.

Tell us about your studio set up?
Your typical home studio setup with a mishmash of hardware and software that I have collected over the years. I also use guitars, 50p drums from a boot sale, children, perished balloons, polyester shirt collars, various parts of my anatomy and anything else that makes a noise to make my tunes.

What do you use when you perform live?
I will be using the same as above. I hope to increase the live component of performance now that I have got my first gig under my belt. The first one was about getting a feel for the whole process and avoiding technical chaos. I was just relieved to get through a glitch free set, keeping the revelers relatively revelous. Next time I hope to develop more of a presence and involvement and focus on the fun.

What are your musical hopes and plans?
I am due to release a new album, which i think is different and a step forward from my previous releases. I continue to strive to produce music that someone, somewhere will appreciate. I would like to play more gigs and develop this aspect. Most importantly, I want to continue enjoying what I do. I will only carry on if it stays fun.

Alone, the excellent debut album by Enola, is out now on Initial Cuts. To celebrate the release, we’ve got an exclusive mix set from the man himself!

Enola is the new project of French DJ Matthieu Monnin, who used to be part of techno outfit Noirdegout. As Noirdegout they were discovered by Initial Cuts, who released 2 superb EPs, Late Night Cities and A Frog On The Beach.

Now Matthieu is on his own, and he’s found his sound: melodious techno, with strong 90s techno influences, but with today’s production values.

The first EP extracted from the album, Words in a Bottle, features a wonderful remix by rising star Rodriguez Jr, and the second one, Lost in Shibuya, includes a remix by Swiss deep houser Quarion of Drumpoet Community.

Alone by Enola is available on iTunes, here.
