Radere is the alias of Carl Ritger, a sound artist currently living and working in Denver, Colorado.

His work primarily explores the shadowy gulf that exists between drone and noise, blurring electronics, location recordings and traditional instrumention into densely textured sonic monoliths.

Radere’s recordings have found their way to light via a slew of independent labels, including Full Spectrum, Moodgadget, basic_sounds (RIP) and Futuresequence. He also conducts ongoing collaborations with Sun Hammer, offthesky, Ten And Tracer, Cody Yantis and Anduin; as well as John Templeton, alongside whom he comprises the experimental techno vehicle Coward.

Lately, he is focused on the launch of CELE – a new organization dedicated to providing a platform for abstract and experimental musical forms in Denver, with an emphasis on durational, deep listening and immersive audio-visual performance concepts.

This mix was recorded live on May 26 2017 during a CELE showcase at the Denver Museum of Contemporary Art, which featured additional performances from Nicolás Melmann and fellow CELE resident Alex Whittier.

Radere drank many palomas and played a selection of personal favorites and recent discoveries, before closing out with a cut from his recent LP release for Full Spectrum. Huge thanks to Carl for the generous contribution to our series. We are excited to have him on board. So, please exit the dancefloor, and grab a pair of headphones. Enjoy.

Very happy to welcome The Bunker's Clay Wilson to the OFR roster. Clay delivers a grand slam session filled with techno and electro goodness. Huge thanks to him for his generous contribution. Enjoy!

BIO -

Clay Wilson’s life story is, for the most part, a mystery. Little is known about the 28-year-old producer, who began turning heads with mesmerizing tracks from his home base in Brooklyn last year.

Before Wilson started making techno, he studied improvisation at music school in upstate New York. Wilson played bass, studying with noted jazz musicians who had worked with Ornette Coleman, Alice Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, and many artists who recorded for the ECM label. He counts Coleman, Coltrane, and Art Ensemble of Chicago among his major inspirations. You can sense the subtle traces of Wilson’s avant-garde jazz training in his techno. You can hear the shifting layers of intriguing textures in the music, his deep understanding of the low end, of arranging and composition, of form. “Understanding the foundation of form has allowed me to not worry so much about putting loops into a full ‘song’, which seems to be a common thing with electronic music,” he says. “I think the textures kind of come from trying to get away from standard musical ideas.”

He had already started making music before experiencing The Bunker, but the sound of the party inspired him massively, and helped him to refine his own aesthetic. He was deeply moved by Bunker sets by Voices From The Lake, Demdike Stare, Peter Van Hoesen, the Interdimensional Transmissions crew, Bee Mask, Atom™, Tobias, and many more.

Mark Angel [Chicago]

For our 106th OFR, we welcome Chicago DJ, Mark Angel. Mark is part of the Noisefloor Chicago crew who just celebrated their one year anniversary with special guest Mike Dearborn. Huge thanks to Mark for providing an hour of driving techno for the series.

BIO -

Very few would dispute Mark Angel as being one of the more prominent and exciting figures to emerge from Chicago in recent years.An accomplished producer, in-demand remixer and versatile international performer, he is fast transitioning from Chicagos’ best-kept secret to one of Technos' up-coming leading lights, on a par with genre-defying luminaries such as the Advent, Drumcell, Mattias Fridell, Audio Injection/Truncate & Robert Hood.

Despite enjoying worldwide notoriety through his signature style production and on deck live performances, Mark hasn’t forgotten his hard-line influenced home grown roots of Chicago. Co-founding FORMAT RECORDINGS (FORMAT-REC) in 2012, the label has already jumped into the ranks of forward pushing imprints showcasing international & local talents such as, Ricardo Garduno, Komprezzor, Jeff Derringer, Submerge, Hyperactive and many more. All in a move to further raising the profile of Chicagos' Techno scene in North America and abroad.

Super happy to welcome 12x12, aka Sean Phillips, to the program. Sean is from Jersey, and cut his teeth DJing around NYC before relocating to Berlin a few years ago. In 2008 he moved to Brooklyn and began producing tracks alongside good friends L'estasi Dell'oro (Penalune) and N'Conduit. Together they founded Voodoo Down Records, debuting the label in 2012 with a compilation EP featuring tracks from each of them as well as a cut from STL. The label has provided a home for their sound, as well as featured tracks from the likes of October, Joey Anderson, Anton Zap, and, most recently, Deadbeat. Now headquartered in Berlin, 12x12 is focused on ramping up his studio productions and keeping things moving for Voodoo Down. Black Light Smoke will share an EP via the label later this year, so keep an eye out for that. In the mean time, those in Berlin can catch 12x12 at repeat bar in Kreuzberg on April 14th, playing alongside his NYC buddies Jason Fellows and Matt Sagotsky. Huge thanks to Sean for this awesome mix! Long live Voodoo Down!
