Mick Chillage's Old School Classics Megamix

204769186_76f6cbc0051.jpgEveryone has their own definition of what old school is or what classic dance, techno, house, music is, I guess this is a collection of mine.. This mix will hopefully appeal to those who were around in the late 80's to mid 90's and maybe the younger clubber who has an interest in the past.. Also you may notice the dominance of the UK scene in the mix, this is due to the fact that the sound of Detroit & Chicago etc.. had not really penetrated Ireland in the early days except for maybe kevin Saunderson's Inner city project or Rhythim is Rhythim "strings of life" which I originally had in the mix and later removed. In my early years of clubbing I always wanted to hear a perfect mix of my favorite tracks, and sometimes I came very close, but the DJ would usually fuck it up with something like Black box's "ride on time".. or even worse Timmy mallet's "teeny weeny polka dot bikini" which had the ubiquitous "Aw Yeah" Public Enemy sample in it... Anyway fast forward to present day, I am fortunate to have all of these influential tracks in my CD collection and some amazing music making software called ableton I now have what I would call the perfect Dj set of my favorite old school classic's Ok some of the tracks may not be seen by many as classic or even old school, but they just connected with me in that unexplainable way...

Hope you enjoy

Future Sound Of London Essential mix from 1994

FSOL - Earthbeat Studio Session Pt. 1, Essential Mix - BBC Radio 1 1993-12-04 by +dB

"Best Served Chilled" an early mix tape recreated

old-chill-out-tapes-image_1.jpg


Finally I have got around to recreating side two of my "Best Served Chilled" mix tape This is an early chillout mix tape I created back in late 1994 using just a Kam dj mixer and two portable CD players with no pitch control.. I painstakingly worked out the mixes relying on the LCD countdown of the CD players and using the faders to blend the tracks. One of the later tapes has mixed by "the Chillage Idiot" written on the inlay card.. A lot of these tapes were passed on to friends and are listened to in far away places like Australia, Ibiza etc..

Thanks to Carl for keeping these cassettes and for sending me copy's of the original inlay cards with the track listings etc.. I have yet to re hear the originals but from my best memory I have recreated the mix digitally and Again all these tracks bring back great memories of a period in electronic music when everything sounded fresh and they had a profound emotional and inspirational impact on me..

Some of you will probably be very familiar with the artists and the tracks on the mix, but for those of you who may be hearing these for the first time,I hope you enjoy the timeless quality of these tracks as much has I have over the years..

Electric Deluxe podcasts with Pete Namlook and Atom™

Jochem Paap Aka "Speedy J" who has recorded for labels Warp, Nova Mute etc.. is the Rotterdam based techno producer who runs the Electric Deluxe label. The electric deluxe podcasts are quickly becoming a thing of legend amongst fans of truly cutting edge electronica and techno music, here I present two podcasts by two of Germany's most influential artists and two of my personal favorites.

First is Frankfurt based Pete Namlook who pioneered the next phase of ambient music in the early to mid 90's with his incredibly prolific Fax label, which often released an album a week in the early days. Today the label is still going strong and covering everything from ambient, techno, jazz, IDM, and beyond.

Over the years Pete has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the electronica scene, Ritchie Hawtin, Klaus Schulze, Bill Laswell, Jochem Paap, and Move D to name a few. Pete prefers the term "Environmental" music rather than the often misused "Ambient" title.

Next, Uwe Schmidt Aka Atom Heart, Atom tm and a million other aliases and sometimes collaborator with Namlook as "Jet Chamber" Uwe has pretty much made every kind of electronic music known to mankind but with a unique and distinctive Atom™ sound sometimes with a satyrical look at current trends in music production and modern culture.
Uwe is pretty much one of the first artists to intentionally use digital glitches as an integral part of his compositions, which now has become almost common place.
Uwe moved to South America in the mid 90's as he got bored with the scene in Germany, while there he soaked up the flavors of latin music and the aliases Lisa Carbon and Senor Coconut amongst others were born.. Uwe runs his own label "Rather Interesting" but has released on many many labels like Rephlex, Pod, Fax, and Ninja Tune.

Both mixes include much of their own work along side some of their favorite artists. So wether your a longtime fan or discovering these two great artist for the first time I'm sure you will enjoy..

Anodyne remix EP







Anodyne - Remix EP featuring remixes by Autechre, The Black Dog, Lackluster, Mick Chillage and more..



(Psychonavigation Records)

Corrosion is anodyne's first full length LP in over a decade and is the first official anodyne release since appearing on the Skam : Mask 500 compilation alongside Gescom, Hell Interface & Hakan Libdo.. The albums 12 tracks blended elements of old skool rave, elektro and breakbeat into a darkly beautiful, electronic LP. Since it's initial release word has quickly spread of this unique talent and what now follows seems like the perfect accompaniment. It's deceptively strong stuff [Sean Booth / Autechre] I couldn't recommend this release more highly, It's bloody ace [Rob Hall / Gescom] The artist was keen to involve two of his own personal heroes Autechre & The Black Dog to contribute to the Remix EP. Both acts lend their incredible talent to the remixes and the results are simply stunning. The digital release also features 5 bonus remixes covering everything from Electro House - Acid Breaks - IDM. Anodyne - Remix EP will be officially released as a Limited 12" Vinyl (300) & as a 7 track Digital remix package on August 23rd through the Irish imprint Psychonavigation Records.

Tales From The Igloo, one year since its release..

In 2009 Psychonavigation records released my debut album "Tales From The Igloo" the result of almost 13 years of experimenting with electronic sounds & structures while constantly redefining & perfecting my vision which draws from many influences, it also displays my passion for creating a wide range of genres within the electronic music spectrum..

The album is a collection of pieces created between 2005 & 2008 which were carefully chosen to display my deeper, atmospheric & more emotional side. blending Ambient, Electro, Techno, Dub & experimentalism to create a unique mixture of various moods, sometimes reaching epic wide screen scope. From the furthest outpost of distant galaxies on "Gateway Station" while returning to earth gracefully with the soulful electro blues of "Melting Emotion" to the disturbing dark environmental tones of "Disturbed Earth" & "Hypothermia". The album concludes on a high with a beautiful remix of "The Final Storm" by ambient pioneer Pentatonik.
