Adults Play Radio w/ DEB4URA – 19/02/2021

DEB4URA’s Bio:
I’m from Switzerland, I started making beats in 2017 and was really in the trap wave.

Today I still like to make trap beats but I personally think that getting out of our comfort zone is so important to explore other genres that you wouldn’t think you would like and that can really help to shape your own style.

What inspires me everyday to create music is nature, graphic design and when two human beings connect to become one at the end of a collaboration.

Interview
Adults Play Radio : I think your tracks and visual have a dreamy-like ethereal feeling, what’s your inspiration ??

DEB4URA : When i became conscious that we are all light beings, my perception expanded and so my inspiration, where i find it in my dreams. Also when i’m alone in nature, as well as being surrounded by creative people.

Adults Play Radio : Do you have a purpose when you create whether in music or in graphic design?

DEB4URA : I do! Not long ago, I felt the urge to not only completely express myself but ask myself what can I create and how can I also help others and bring something to make life a better place on earth. Some people aren’t questioning themselves about it and yet in simply creating they are already affecting and changing the world. I now use the tools I know the best for spreading my experiences through music and graphics about what we can do to individually evolve in all aspects of ourselves in this life and collectively too.

Adults Play Radio : How do you think the new reality for the club cultures would be?

DEB4URA : Since we are restricted more than ever during this pandemic, I have hope that we will find a way to keep the club cultures alive in merging it with art spaces for example, which will help to reinvent clubs. I personally think that live shows / mixs are cool because it shows we always find a solution to make it happen but, still the aim is to get back to the physicality and not let ourselves being dehumanized.

Adults Play Radio w/ Ultrademon b2b2b – 05/02/2021

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/embed/84EBzpbClLc[/youtube]

Ultrademon has explored the emotional sub layers within electronic music for the past 15 years. She made a name for herself during the social media proliferation of the early 2010s via a globally networked art & culture movement. Real name Lilium Kobayashi, the experimental musician’s investigation of sonic ontology has seen her delve into the realm of sound art, creating exhibitions and collaborative projects internationally. Her seminal album (“Seapunk”) was released via Aphex Twin’s Rephlex Records, sparking a series of primarily club works. With each release, she provides mythic and abstract narratives that reflect her own interior world. Recently she has created tonally dark pieces, shifting focus to timbre and at times borrowing from medieval modes. After a nearly two-year period of research, she has created her latest work “Chamber Music,” released on November 1st 2019. Kobayashi lives and works in Kyoto.

2010年代初頭、ソーシャルメディアが普及する中でグローバルなネットアートと文化的なムーブメントを通じ評価を築いたUltrademon(本名Lilium Kobayashi)は、過去15年間に渡り電子音楽を構成する様々な感情的要素を探ってきた。また、音の存在を追求する実験音楽家としてサウンドアートの分野を掘り下げ、国際的な共同プロジェクトや展示を生み出している。2013年、Aphex TwinによるレーベルRephlex Recordsから発表した独創的なアルバム“Seapunk”を発端に彼女はクラブミュージックのリリースを重ね、作品群の中で自身の内面世界を映し出す神話的かつ抽象的な物語を提供してきた。近年は音色に着眼して時に中世的な様式を取り入れながらダークな楽曲を制作しており、2年弱に及ぶ研究期間を経て構築された最新作“Chamber Music”が2019年11月1日リリース予定。現在京都を拠点に活動を行っている。

Interview : 
(We will upload the Japanese version in a few days .)

How do u come up with track name? Like ‘nobody listen to techno anymore,’ ‘I used to hate acid,’ are ironically good names on acid/techno tracks.

Haha it’s funny you ask this because sometimes the name of the track cames to me before i even finish the track. And i think i choose this kind of names in techno tracks because techno is sometimes now a days bonded to some dark deep stuff and for me techno is the funniest thing in the world, producing it o dancing it at clubs, its funny and also its queer and we should not forget about that.

What do you think of club culture & its function during this pandemic, in the society of failed democracy ? How’s things in Barcelona?

So in my case, with this whole pandemic year i could realize that club culture is way more important than i tought it was. Club culture its not just go out and dance, its way more than just the nightlife at clubs. Its a whole support for an unhappy society, its a community made by people for people, thats my pov, that’s what club culture represents to me, a safe and happy place. Im not saying that’s the same for everybody cause im a raver, way more and way before than being a dj, maybe for a club manager “club culture” is another completely different thing you know. 

In Barcelona things are fucked up, culture is completely dying because government doesn’t give a shit about it and they’re not realizing that what is happening right now with culture may not be reparable.

Also from a raver/DJ POV, community is almost the core value of making parties for me, is there any Barcelona based collective of dance music / visual artist etc u would recommend ??

Just in time because im planning to start a new project in Barcelona to try to unify a little bit more the deconstructed” club scene that i like to be part of. There are some good local things happening tho like Club marabú, Hardcore Wizards, now a new label called Syndicate of Creatures that got lots of things coming, also a party that was kicking it last year called Maquina total. And i think there’s more but this is what came to my head right now.

In this Q&A section we asked GG LONG XIA about transformation in his music career, and his take on the Mandarin slang ‘亚逼‘ (pronounced as ‘yà bī’) mainly used to denounce club kids in mainland China.

Adults Play Radio:之前聊到改名字是因为签了国内的经纪公司,从GGLobster到GG LONG XIA有什么在作曲/演出风格的变化? 什么启发了你做这个新的项目?

GG LONG XIA: 改名是因为我认为自己进入了全新的阶段,GG Lobster在音乐风格上代表着我对电子音乐及舞曲的探索阶段,而GG LONG XIA在某种程度上也代表着我与过往的和解。音乐风格上,我研究过的说唱音乐、摇滚乐、电子乐,都是我创作的灵感,我自己的经历就是我对现在最好的启发。

Adults Play Radio:看你最近都是在演出了,跟之前dj的时候比心理状态有什么变化吗?会影响到你每次演出的不同吗?

GG LONG XIA: 演唱形式的演出,在演出前的准备上就需要投入更多精力了,除了音乐的创作、编曲,服装造型、合作视觉、自制歌词视频、台风动作的设计等等,还有对整体气质的把控上,都需要考虑得非常仔细。简单的来说,从音乐从业者的角度来看,我变得更加专业也更加全能了,和DJ set的前期准备根本不是一个量级的。演出心态上会更加放松和享受,我享受和观众互动的感觉。

Adults Play Radio:谈谈对“亚逼”这个词的定义,看法? 或者对夜店文化,音乐的影响?我跟在国内的朋友聊天这个词会经常出现, 但是并没有很理解什么意思

GG LONG XIA: “亚逼”是个从非常狭隘的角度发展出来的概念,是对穿着打扮比较前卫的club kids的一种蔑称吧。也是年龄和圈层代沟导致的一种偏见,它从根本上把每个独立个体的差异否定了。但从学术角度上来说,它也是一个很简单的标签方式,如果你看过伯明翰大学对亚文化的理论研究的话你就可能感受到,“亚逼”这个词的诞生和普遍使用,意味着这个群体的反抗已经开始并被关注了。我觉得最终“亚逼”这个词在国语地区会成为一个严肃的
风格词。因为没有更合适的词来概括这个群体的身份了,就像“朋克”这个词一样。所以,当别人用亚逼这个词judge你的时候,大方承认就行,毕竟文化和包容不是每个人都具备的。

Adults Play Radio: You mentioned before in our chat, that partly because of the contract under a Chinese agency, you decided to change alias from ‘GG Lobster’ to ‘GG LONG XIA’ (GG 龙虾), can you tell us how did you shift the style of production and of performance? What’s your inspiration
about this new project?

GG LONG XIA: I chose the name ‘GG LONG XIA,’ because I see my artist persona moved into a new phase. GG Lobster was my explorational phase on electronic music and club-oriented music. While GG LONG XIA also
stands for the mediation of my earlier career. In terms of inspiration, rap, rock, electronics, all my thing. Past experiences definitely are my best inspiration source.

Adults Play Radio: I saw from instagram, you have been performing live set a lot recently, do you experience up and downs during this period of time comparing to DJing in your earlier career? Will that affect the outcome?

GG LONG XIA: Performing live set needs a lot more efforts before the show. From music production, styling, collab with visual artist, self-production of lyrics and music video, presentation on the show,management of the overall representation as GG LONG XIA, all need to be carefully considered. To keep it simple, from a music practitioner pov, I became more professional and multiskilled. The workload is way different from preparation as a DJ. The same time I’m more relaxed when performing. Interaction with the crowds is something I enjoy so much. XD

Adults Play Radio: How do you define the word ‘亚逼 ya bi’? This word frequently pops up in the convo when I talk with friends in mainland China, still not 100% sure what it stands for LOL I think it’s a slang that applies to any style of the young folks, the way they dress, behave, eat drink and peepee poopoo, anything but in a disdainful way. How does it affect the club culture?

GG LONG XIA: ‘Yabi’ developed from a very narrow-minded perspective, only to denounce club kids who dressed in-your-face edgy. It represents the biased opinion from different ages, social circles, etc. (to club kid
generation) It denies the difference from individual to individual. Theoretically, it’s only a label. If you read Birmingham School’s research on young sub/cultures, you will get the idea that the birth of ‘Yabi’, the now widely spread word actually means the social recognition of the collective rebellion. I think it will soon be a serious word for certain style in Mandarin speaking area. Because there’s no other word more accurate to describe the crowd. Just like ‘Rock.’ If someone judge you with ‘Yabi,’ take it. Culture empathy is not a vocab everyone has, after all.


Adults Play Radio: この前話したときに、マネージメントエージェンシー に所属することになったって言ってたよね、それってGG LobsterからGG LONG XIAに名義を変えたことに関係ある?作曲とパフォーマンスのとき に変わったことは?インスピレーションも教えて!


GG LONG XIA: 音楽的に新しいステージに入ったから名前を変えたよ!GG Lobsterはエレクトロニックミュージックとかダンスミュージックを探ってた時期のスタイルだったし、今のGG LONG XIAはある程度過去との和解になるのかな。音楽のインスピレーションはラップ、ロック、エレクトロ、とか全部だね笑 でもやっぱり今までのキャリアに一番影響され てるかもしれない。

Adults Play Radio: 最近ライブするのよくインスタで見るようになったけど、前DJしてたときに心の準備とか、気持ち的に変わったことある? パフォーマンスのできとかにも影響する?

GG LONG XIA: 歌うようになってから、ショーの準備とかめちゃ大変になった。音楽の制作、スタイリング、ビジュアルコラボレーション、歌詞とビデオも自分で作るし、あとパフォーマンスの流れ、全体的な印象とかも全部じっくり考えなきゃ行けない。音楽やってる身としては、もっといろんなことできてプロになったと思う。DJセットの仕事量とは大違いだね。けどライブパフォーマンスしてるときのほうがリラックスできるし、客と
のインタラクションは好きだね!

Adults Play Radio: ‘Yabi’ て言葉どう思う?中国出身の友達と話すときよく会話に出てくるけど、はっきりした意味はわからない笑 でも若い人を見下してる意味合いは感じる。 クラブカルチャーにどう影響してるかな?

GG LONG XIA: すごい狭い考え方から生まれた言葉だと思うよ!エッジーな格好してるクラブキッズのことをけなしてるね。年とかコミュニティのギャップから生まれた言葉で、一人ひとりの違いを否定してると思う。インテリっぽい言葉で言うならただのレーベル。ベーミンガムスクールのヤング•サブカルチャーに対する研究を読んだことあるならわかると思うけど、この言葉があるのは、団体による抵抗が社会での存在が認識されるよう
になったってことだよね。マンダリンが共通語の地域で最終的にシリアスな形容詞になると思う。これよりうまく表現できてる言葉ないよ。ロックみたいに。だれかにyà bīていわれたらそのまま受けとめればいい、みんながみんな文化に包容的じゃないんだから。

Adults Play Radio w/ Wa?ste – 27/11/2020

菲力克斯·埃德魯 Felix Idle,藝名Wa?ste,來自澳洲,現旅居於東京。.過去的藝術事蹟以他個人的實驗音樂/活動廠牌「Valley Spirit」,以及他為澳洲坎培拉的藝術空間「Tributary Projects」所製作的混音系列「Spirit Theatre」為主,該系列旨在探討夜店音樂之外的DJ混音可能。在純藝術領域上,他也透過傳統媒體,以及聲音、網頁設計和影像來創作。除此之外,他也是一名日/英譯者。菲力克斯·埃德魯的音樂風格貫穿DJ與創作,喜歡玩拼貼,創造有形的氛圍,並時不時在演出中朗讀電音相關文章,後設意味濃厚。

他的音樂企圖傳達網路漫遊背後的好奇心與長時間資訊轟炸所伴隨的疲勞感受。

Wa?ste擅長萃取 傳神Trance、gabba 以及其他的 hard dance 舞曲中的狂喜精神,混入速度較慢但仍非常有種的純音樂取樣;這種具高度侵略性的混種主義進而成為滋長甜膩嗓音與朦朧美抒情詩體的溫床。

他與 Mya Gomez、 ptwiggs,和 7038634357 合作音樂。2017至2019 年分別在Genome 6.66 Mbp 和Quantum Natives 發行作品,也曾與 M.E.S.H.、 Air Max ’97 Music、 City、 Holly Herndon, Eternal Dragonz 的 Tzekin共演。

Felix Idle aka Wa?ste b. 1992 in Darlinghurst, Sydney. Musician, Translator & Visual Artist. Felix translates his interest in overstimulation, magical realism, recursive media & the internet into melancholy/euphoric collage music. Releases include “Hollow Vessel” on Genome 6.66mbp (Shanghai) and “Living Demons” on Quantum Natives (London). Active making clothes, DJing and holding events in Tokyo as of 2018.

This week, we have Wa?ste for guest mix + interview in both Japanese and English. 

Interview part 1 in English

Going out in Tokyo during this rona time, does it really worth from that we could possibly experience from the space? Yiqing shared her first blacklist experience with Kai at Contact, one of the major clubs in Tokyo. Kai talked about music inspiration from trap music, Miraisenshi, a Chinese rapper he recently found on soundcloud.

Felix answered questions from Yiqing about her recent thoughts on self-identification as DJ. 

Interview Part 2 in Japanese
We talked about our first club experience, making DIY clothes, inspiration of producing music and how different locations would affect the representation of our own creativity.
