LowerState Podcast 012 // Cian Ó Cíobháin

September 3rd, 2010

Well it’s with great pleasure we bring you September’s podcast by Cian Ó Cíobháin, the long standing host of An Taobh Tuathail on RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta/ANOCHT FM since May 1999. One of the very few outlets for underground music on Irish radio, Cian draws from reflective electronica, dream-pop, alt-folk, post-rock, soundtracks and ambient recordings to electronic dancefloor music of the house and techno variety every weeknight. This mix is made up of nine meticulously selected electronic 4-4 tracks, seamlessly blended with enough space between sounds to make you listen a little harder to the subtle variations and moments crafted in each production. As the mix unfolds, each track acts as a bridge on a lush soundscape - with tiny surprises becoming big moments. As the mix comes to its finalé, one can’t help but feel a little lighter off the ground.

LowerState Podcast 011 // Jenifa Mayanja

August 13th, 2010

Our latest musical installment is our first from a US guest, Jenifa Mayanja. Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Jenifa has released some incredibly fine cuts over the last few years on her own Bu-Maku label. Her music, while deep and refined, borders on the ethereal and imbues a greatly desired quality - to transport you to the outer regions. Her remix of Nina Kraviz’s Voices being a firm fixture in this DJ’s bag. Aside from producing, she also presents the Bu-Mako Experience radio show on Motion FM every Friday at 7pm Irish/UK time - check out their website for the show archives.

Kassem Mosse (Live) / FXHE - Laid - Workshop

July 29th, 2010

kassem mosse

Arriving for LowerState on Sat Aug 14th, Kassem Mosse tows his machines all the way from Leipzig for his irish debut with a cutting edge live set. One of the most enigmatic producers around, creating a unique, uncharacterisable, time-warped sound, he jams live with drummachines and synthesizers, programming and mixing patterns on the spot to showcase the narcotic womp of low BPM deep house vs. pop ambient vs. micro techno.

Kassem followed his first Workshop 03 EP in 2007 with the timeless Workshop 08 which many people hailed as record of 2009 by topping a number of end of year charts. After which came a record on Omar S’s FXHE label, and his new Laid EP (with Lowtec) is set to be one of the records of 2010, with deep muted synth lines and low slung bass bringing a unique futurism and deepness which we will all get to experience first hand during his live show this August 14th.

Needless to say, we are super excited to host the amazing Kassem, and on our top notch Funktion 1 soundsystem this will be a really excited way to finish up LowerState’s summer.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

He has featured on mix CDs from Tama Sumo (Panorama Bar 02), Cassy (Cocoon mix), Ellen Allien (Boogybytes Vol 4) and Damian Lazarus (Sci Fi Lo fi Vol 2) and his productions have been supported by Marcel Dettmann, Redshape, Norman Nodge, XDB, Move D, Ame, K-soul, Lerosa, Andy Stott, Ripperton and Peter van Hoesen among others.

Admission is €10!
