Q&A and Global Vibe Radio 137 Feat. Jon Hester

/in , , , , , /by

This week’s Global Vibe Radio mix is a 3 hour 20 minute set courtesy of Dystopian and Klockworks producer/DJ Jon Hester, recorded live at an intimate party at an undisclosed location.

Jon Hester got his start in the midwest US, living in Chicago, Minneapolis, and connecting with Detroit. After years on the dance floor he took to the decks, going on to work in a record shop, host his own events, and hold residencies that developed his sound. Music production and a move to Berlin followed, but dancing and mixing are still the inspirations that drive him to create. His DJ sets are built on physical rhythms and adventurous programming, effortlessly combining diverse varieties of techno and house. With an engaging presence and a knack for telling a story, he builds a unique connection with each audience and works any room until it sweats.

Jon’s latest release is the four-trackĀ AetherĀ EP which was released on LET Recordings this past December and is available on the label’s Bandcamp page.

/in , , , , , /by

DJ and producer BEC, has had a string of successful releases signed under Pan-Pot’s Second State Audio and Carl Cox’s Intec Digital in the past years. She’s also been labeled as one of the most exciting newcomers by Pulse Radio and even got support from Charlotte De Witte who’s been performing back-to-back with her recently in Colombia.

More recently, she caught her ears with her latest EP Sines & Breaks on VOIGHT, now available on Beatport.

It seemed fitting then to not only feature this rising artist on our weekly Global Vibe Radio mix series but to sit down for a chat with her as things began heating up on her fall schedule.

Q&A and Global Vibe Radio 128 Feat. Albert van Abbe Live at Elevator, Shanghai

/in , , , , , /by

We travel to the Netherlands for this week’s Global Vibe Radio episode, and to Eindhoven to be exact ā€” the birthplace and home town of rave veteran Albert van Abbe.

Albert has been involved in many different musical and audio-visual projects over the past 17 years and is currently focused on making absorbing techno under his own name, while pushing his long-standing DRUM parties and celebrating the launch of his very own DRUM record label.

Van Abbe has found a unique creative niche where manic percussion, searching synths and wide open soundscapes exist in perfect harmony. There is a serenity to his music that is soothing and calming, while at the same time, arresting and experimental.

Besides his own labels, he has released on tasteful outlets like FIGURE Jams, Semantica Records, Deep Sound Channel and Trolldans. Van Abbe is a DJ as well as live performer, speaking volumes through his machines. He played shows at Berghain, Awakenings, Tresor and DGTL just to mention a few. When not crafting melancholic and salubrious atmospheres of his own, he brings this depth outwards, hosting events titled DRUM in Eindhoven and abroad.

Van Abbe was kind enough to offer us the two-hour recording from his recent set at Elevator club in Shangai for the VOID crew, and to chat with us a little about his recent Asia tour, life in Eindhoven, his newly-launched DRUM label and more.
