Moonphases With Ye.

May's guestmix comes from avid French DJ & producer Wankers United who delves deep into electronic synth territory. With funky, cheeky beats on the forefront of his selection, some heavy French hip hop in the heart and extravagant retro-futuristic skweee in the backbone, the set is sure to raise an eyebrow or two! My set takes you back to the 90s, heavily influenced by the garage scene and its recent revival, with a wink towards the deep house music. The selection revolves around my favourite tracks from the period, most of which were on heavy rotation in my livesets in the past few months, and aspire to arm you with plenty of positivistic vibes for the summer.

April’s Moonphases’ guest comes from Sofia’s Meerou. The mix tells the story of the sleazy affair involving raw and unpolished, nu-skool Chi town beats intertwined with some smooth, mellow, sax-jazzy sounds and their unorthodox relationship. The sunny side of April inspired me to create a blend of vibrations that can only be described as pure synthetic funk, throwing in some disco, SKWEEE, experimental hip hop & reggae for a good measure, grasping for the summer!

The March edition of Moonphases features the sounds of a promising young Bulgarian talent in the face of Mojogoro. With a breakcore/experimental phase behind him, he admits his music is getting more and more accessible to the audience. This can also be heard in his set, spanning several decades and genres of electronic music, starting from Kraftwerk, delving past a few of his own productions as Energetic Slash & Mojogoro, to reach a footwork-ish ending. My set takes you on a journey back to NYC in the beginning of the ‘90s in search of the roots of house music. It features several tracks from the emblematic Burrell brothers’ label Nu Groove, some sounds from the much understated 707 drum machine, as well as several dusty gems I uncovered while gathering material for what turned out to be an unusually deep and elegant, yet somehow minimal and raw  sounding mixture compared to current trends in house music.

Moonphases in February is comprised of two sets showcasing different styles illustrative to their eras. Clipper has prepared a unique selection of music that was used by the Bulgarian national TV and radio (the only TV and radio stations at that time) during the communist times in the 70’s and 80’s. It includes music from emblematic programs and shows like “Dobro Utro“ (Good Morning), “Studio X”, “Vsyaka Nedelya” (Every Sunday) , “Atlas”, “Nedelya 150” (Sunday 150) and others. A mark of those times for everyone who lived in Bulgaria during the communist regime and was exposed to this spacey and hypnotic music, which sounded from every TV and radio set, in every household. On the reverse we have sirens, wild piano riffs, super pitched vocals, multiple mentions of ecstasy/love, (I skipped on the whistles) which all point to a RAVE. Of course it’s not your regular jungle/rave set, but more like something I would be playing, was I born some 10-15 years ago. The selection comes primarily from ’91-’92, but also in

The first Moonphases in 2012 is influenced by Berlin and represents the town’s techno scene refracted through the prism of my perception of the city. It borrows heavy on the Berghain-esque style of techno music, while still retaining some UK-Bass essentials. To be enjoyed on Berlin-sized stacks of Funktion-One speakers!

The 50th edition of Moonphases marks the end of the awesome 2011. The guestmix comes from a young Bulgarian DJ and producer Nick Nickolov. He made a name for himself on the tech house scene with solo productions, as well as part of the Surrealism duo. His set brushes on the edges of both modern house and post dubstep and goes as far as IDM. On the flipside my set, has a genuinely lo fi foundation, swelling into a climax of some classical house tunes before delving further deeper…

This November’s show features Reykjavík’s resident Brezo who captures autumn’s spirit in a dense yet salubrious mixture of Icelandic sounds, inspired by the likes of Autechre, the Artificial Intelligence compilations, Warp records and his early year’s experiences of mixing with tapes. My set is a slow motion, elegant mixture of sexy disco infused tracks which gradually lead you on a voyage through the avant-garde of unconventional house music.

The September edition of your favorite radio show comes with guestmix by the young and talented Bulgarian DJ and beatbox artist Riddimbox. His set represents his vision of the current state on the UK Bass scene, although largely influenced by Riddimbox’s Hip Hop and RnB background. My mix showcases the best tracks of the summer and is complete mash of genres, beginning with a disco-ish jam, through post dubstep, house, deep techno, a pinch of classical uk garage sound and some RnB to boot.
