Trinity - DHA Podcast #116

Live hardware set from Sydney-local Simon Mann...

Simon Mann has been playing and making electronic music for close to 20 years. Originally focussing on hip-hop and hip-house sounds of the 80's and 90's, Simon eventually gravitated toward house and techno after finding the joys of DJ-ing to a club crowd in the mid 90's.

Sighting early influences such as local heroes HMC, GT, Pocket, Head Affect and the rest of the Thunk Records crew, as well as international techno luminaries like Jeff Mills, Carl Craig and Claude Young, Simon's taste has always been in the darker more underground sounds rather that upfront club tunes.

After taking 'runner up' position in Sydney's Radio Dex Bedroom Bangers competition in the early 2000's, the DJ-ing opportunities opened up considerably for Simon and he found himself playing alongside some of Sydney's most respected jocks including Phil Smart, Simon Caldwell, Ben Korbel, Ken Cloud, Ajax and Mark Murphy.

Simon's interest in production had always been in the background and a small studio of electronic instruments was developed over time. Most production work was done as part of the band We'd up until mid-2000 when Simon started to focus on solo productions with earnest.

Simon's sound has evolved into an exploration of deep house, techno and dub techno elements. Currently Simon performs live electronic sets using a combination of hardware and software to create his unique compositions.

The podcast recorded for DHA is a hardware set recorded live in one take. To create his sound Simon currently uses an Elektron Analog 4, Yamaha Cs6x and Rm1x, Roland TR606 and TR8, Korg Volca Bass and Sample, Pioneer EFX500. Signal processing and effects are carried out through Ableton Live Suite.

Simon releases music on Etui Records (Germany), Lobe Limbique Musique, East Point Sounds, Lamb Shanks Digital, Highjack Recordings (Ukraine) and Pinksilver Digital.

Mark Craven is spot on with podcast #113. A deep, minimal and techy mix, Mark builds the intensity throughout the 60 minutes, until dropping some acid flavours with Josh Wink’s “Talking To You”.

Local DJ, Zeus joins us for episode #112 of the podcast...

Zeus is a well-respected, Sydney-based DJ, with a knack for a classic house sound, digging into his record collection for this mix with a range of tracks from the past 20 years or so.
Zeus run a party called ‘Compound Sydney’ at Goodgod Small Club and has been DJing for nearly three years now.

We asked Zeus about his mix and this is what he had to say:
“I recorded this mix in my living room on 2 Technic SL-1200 MK2 turntables and a Pioneer DJM700.

I tried to record this podcast for 5 weeks in a row and after recording about five different mixes and plenty of swearing, I was unhappy with all of them. So I simply took a break for a few days and hit record after my mind and ears had settled.
The whole idea behind this podcast is to go through records which are of particular significance to me – some I’ve heard out and experienced, some I’ve found through other DJs, some I've found through discogs, some I found in $2 bins at record stores and some I got by complete accident.”

We hope you enjoy it as much as we have!

Upcoming events:
- Compound presents Subaske at Goodgod Small Club. Check Facebook for more details: www.facebook.com/events/836346469740387/
