Ooooh yes please: next month we’ll be seeing a visit from the deep house and techno donAnthony Parasole.
A pillar of the New York scene, Parasole [above] had a breakout year back in 2012 when his track ‘Tyson’ (quality track name!) was given on a rinse on Levon Vincent’s Fabric 63 mix. Since then, he’s spent a lot of his time launching the careers of other artists via releases on his label The Corner, alongside spinning at almost every club across North America and Europe. Give his Dekmantel podcast a spin to get yourself hyped before he comes into town on Saturday May 7 at the Burdekin Hotel.
Straight from Milan, techno duo Emmanuele Nicosia and Martino Bartola AKA Hunted/Game are coming for Sydney later this month. Regulars at clubs such as Fabric, The Edge, Warung, Output, Wilde Renate and Studio 80 alongside labels such as Innervisions, Rumours, Last Night On Earth, My Favourite Robot, Hot Creations and Dynamic, the two are also infamous for their Just This parties held in secretive spots around their hometown. Said parties have hosted the likes of Dixon, Seth Troxler and DJ Koze. Y’all can catch them on Saturday April 30 at the Burdekin Hotel.
Mix of the year alert: oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. The latest Giegling mix has just landed and it’s 57 minutes and ten seconds of ambient bliss. Taking the reins for this one is the rising (and enigmatic) name Sa Pa. You might remember that he took out my 2015 album of the year with Fuubutsushi. Get yourself to giegling.net this instant and get downloading.
Some other recent mixes that might tickle your fancy: another member of the Giegling family Leafar Legov has just dropped the latest mix for Resident Advisor, Âme and Dixon stepped up for the latest Essential Mix and it’s chock-full of unreleased gems, while jungle heads need to jump onto Nucleus’ SoundCloud for his instalment in the Esoteric Music series.
Tour rumours: one of the greatest techno clubs in world, Berlin institution Tresor, is embarking on a world tour to celebrate its 25th anniversary. It’ll hit Sydney in June: expect a seriously heavy lineup to be announced soon. The always lovable Prosumer ain’t far off announcing an Australia return too. Oh, and Beautiful Swimmers are also coming our way later this month.
Best releases this week: oh man, the details of Andy Stott’s forthcoming full-length Too Many Voices (on Modern Love) have been revealed and the first single ‘Butterflies’ is killer. It drops on Friday April 22. Y’all also need to check out Kyoka’sSH (Raster-Noton) and the Studio OST compilation Scenes 2012-2015 (Lustwerk).
