[Radio 80000] Endurance guest mix for Enjoy TET by Muzan Editions published on 2021-12-21T09:28:45Z Endurance put together this collection of three live performances for @enjoy_tet on @radio80000 . Many thanks to Tet for giving us the opportunity to bring some of Osaka's electronic music scene to the rest of the world. 00:00 Endurance - https://soundcloud.com/joshua-stefane 21:30 Chie Otomi - https://soundcloud.com/chie-otomi 39:50 Hideo Nakasako - https://soundcloud.com/sako0219 Endurance on the mix: "When Tet invited me to put together an hour for the show, she left it quite open-ended as to what I could do – a straight up mix, a collection of Endurance or Muzan tracks, or a live session. However, one thing that stuck with me was her suggestion that it might be interesting to do something uniquely from Japan, i.e. that listeners in Germany and in other countries might not get a chance to hear. This put me onto the idea of creating a mix using live material that would reflect the sound and atmosphere of the ambient parties I’m involved in here. Coincidentally, the 8th edition of Osaka’s Don’t Dance party was happening right around the same time (Nov.21 specifically) and during the event I asked Hideo Nakasako and Chie Otomi to contribute to the mix. They were kind enough to agree, so the mix is basically three 20-minute live recordings from Endurance, Otomi, and Nakasako (in that order). My contribution to this mix is the most minimal of the three. However, since that’s the direction my live performances have been going in recent years, I thought it would be good to include it. This piece was recorded live on modular synths around 4am after hearing Wata Igarashi play in Osaka. It’s perhaps one of the most sparse sets that I’ve done, but I really like how the minimalism helps to emphasize each sound more potently. I hope you enjoy. Chie Otomi is one of my favorite producers. We’ve released two of her albums on Muzan (Namisen in 2018 and Touch Again in our latest batch) and she’s a regular at most of the events we organize. Primarily using a Waldorf Blofeld and a DSI Tempest, her sound is totally unique. She creates intense fourth world vibes, but on the micro level! I imagine a lot of her music as field recordings from some hidden ecosystem where things float and glow in a beautiful phosphorescent dance. The set she provided me is a very good representation of her live performances. Closing out the mix is Hideo Nakasako. He is an ambient producer and the organizer of Don’t Dance, an ambient listening party that has been going on for a few years now. The most recent party, held at Club Daphnia, was a day party (from 3pm to 9pm), but the previous installments have mostly been all-night affairs, with ambient performances and DJ sets running from 11pm to early morning. Nakasako is also one of the most talented ambient artists in Japan, but since he hasn’t released a ton of music it’s likely that a lot of international listeners will be hearing him for the first time. His albums and monthly track releases are all top-notch, but his live sets are simply transformative – picture pitch-shifting, drifty synths and expertly processed samples that flow around the stereo field at a glacial pace. So good! Muzan released his incredible Texture of Days in 2019, but expect another Nakasako tape from us at some point in the new year..."
