drS – Recap mixtape

ubBli drS   Recap mixtape

With Plauge’s upcoming anniversary in mind, I decided to put together a mixtape with some of my favourite Plauge choons from the last ten years – tracks that I’ve played more than once or twice in my Plauge -associated sets. Initially I wanted to combine numerous different genres in order to stay true to our collective’s eclectic nature, but a 100-track mixtape isn’t that feasible so I decided to stick mostly to the housier side of things… All of these are personal classics to me, and many of them should be familiar to You as well. Enjoy!

Dalion’s First Mixtape & One of My Faves

6688964115 70aa28d167 Dalions First Mixtape & One of My Faves

This one’s a one of my all-time faves. Dalion and I met in high school and very soon when we realised we were both DJ’ing Dalion gave me a minidisc just a Dalion Mixtape #1 written on the label. I’ve listened to it a hundred times since and now, after few years it still sounds sooo goood. That time it was downtempo and jazzy drum’n'bass all around here. Among other things of course. “Eclectic” was the description of the common early 2000′s diverse DJ’ing style and also the thing Plauge were based on.

Dalion – Mixtape #1

One of my best mixtape, IMO, is also a smooth, jazzy and eclectic combination from 2007. As a tribute to Dalion’s tape, after the intro, it also continues with Jimi Tenor’s Outta Space – which has become a regular intro (or outro) for many sets during the years.

Herman Prime – Easin’ A Bit Cheesin’

Plauge Top Choons January 2012

5532677718 b559d676dd Plauge Top Choons January 2012

Here are the top tracks the Plauge Boyz have been feelin’ lately. Also: welcome to 2012. It’s the beginning of the end, baby!

drS: PeetMovement
SoundCloud

We kick things off with some twitchy tech house. This Peet (who?) tune has a nice eighties female singer vibe. I’m thinking something like Kate Bush or Stevie Nicks a few years in the future. The funny thing is, the longer you listen to this tune, the darker and more oppressive it gets. I think its mostly due to that distorted bass sound, which grinds on ya, man, it grinds on ya.

Milo: The FieldIt’s Up There
Spotify / YouTube / BeatPort

Okay, time for something a touch lighter and sunnier. The Field has been the go-to minimal techno dude for the Pitchfork set for quite some time. I’ve always found his folk-rock-sounding loops a smidgeon bland, but I will admit that the guy does know what he is doing. Not a lot of artists can make music that’s this repetitive, yet recognizable and interesting. In the correct state of mind (ahem…) a Field song can sound incredibly good. A word of warning, however: in true The Field fashion “It’s Up There” clocks at just over 9 minutes so don’t waste your time waiting for the drop or the chorus.

wispy: DJ Nut NutSpecial Dedication (Sigma Remix)
YouTube

Next up some ruff inna jungle. This is that bare bones kind of jungle you don’t really hear anymore (I guess?). At least I think so. I don’t want to sound like yet another sourpuss hipster, but I’d listen to dirty dubplates like this over Pendulum-style squeaky clean trance-crap any day of the week. Plus how awesome is Top Cat? The answer: very.

Åke Kanaria: Mac Mall- Get Right
YouTube

Oh man. Speaking of bare bones, we got a good ole gangsta rap track courtesy of Mac Mall. I’ve actually never heard this before, but damn I’m glad signor Kanaria decided to choose it. I recently did a Dr. Dre-only gig with my fellow DJ Dalion and it was an enormous amount of fun. Sometimes it’s so refreshing to stop trying to keep track of next weeks top hyped thing and kick back with some golden oldies.

Azure: MJ ColeCrazy Love (Volta Cab Dub Mix)
SoundCloud

MJ Cole is the man. The grand-daddy of UK 2-step garage is still going strong after like, what, 20-30 years? I especially liked his recent meditative piano piece. Now the russkies of Volta Cab have given his track “Crazy Love” a going over and the result is a deep little number with a lovely lounge-y atmosphere. You can also download it for absolutely nothing so get clicking!

Dalion: RaziekI Can Do It
YouTube / JunoDownload

Much like MJ Cole, Raziek has never really bothered to reinvent himself. With a Raziek tune you always know what you’re getting: some banging uptempo drums to get your head nodding, some ghetto-ass vocals and and overall filthy quality permeating everything. To be completely honest “I Can Do It” is a new direction compared to your average ghettotech/juke tune. There’s a lightness and sensitivity here that’s pretty unusual, although this track still wouldn’t sound out of place blaring out the sound system of a strip joint.

Herman Prime: Junior BoysYou’ll Improve Me (Caribou Remix)
YouTube

Caribou is a pretty queer duck in the house game. His music is so hard to define and pigeonhole that he is usually too dance music for the indie pop set and too weird and poppy for house-heads. Or maybe not, maybe it’s just me. Maybe everyone, regardless of music preference, skin color or creed loves Caribou. Anyway, this remix is enticingly weird and off-kilter, as you might expect, and has a really lovely vocal bit running through it.

Esmuntutu: The WeekndD.D.
YouTube

The Weeknd made a cover of Michael Jackson’s Dirty Diana? Damn. This version ramps up the intensity of the original, but it also takes away some of the subtlety. Those metallic Trent Reznor drums are perhaps a little on the nose, but overall I’d say this sounds pretty amazing. It’s also nice to hear The Weeknd with a clear central idea, as the guy’s tunes usually suffer from having no real center and just floating around. Give this a listen, it’s interesting and then some.

Jukola: Freddie HubbardDestiny’s Children
YouTube

From the tortured heart of Michael Jackson/Weeknd, we move to an entirely lighter and freely flowing direction. Freddie Hubbard has always been a minor jazz figure for me (sorry), not quite Roy Ayers or Lonnie Liston Smith. Despite that Destiny’s Children (hi Beyonce!) is a lovely bit of fusion-type groovin’, a little taste of summer to cure that winter blues.

Lars Palmas: Ultimate ManThe Prologue
SoundCloud

Traveller Records remains on point. If there’s a label out there which has purified deep house to a finer product than DJ Ionik’s little powerhouse, I’ve yet to find it. This Ultimate Man track is no exception to the rule. It’s deep, soulful but it also has a lot of muscle. I don’t want to sound corny, but whatever: if this is just the prologue, what the fuck is the main event gonna sound like?

Nikola MMI/Tesla: BrenmarTemperature Rising
YouTube / JunoDownload

Brenmar is a name I’ve bumbed into a bunch of times, the dude has done a ton of remixes, but this was the first original song that really grabbed me. It’s tight, slick, soulful and hella danceable. Despite being a perfect fit for any DJ set it sounds pretty timeless; the sounds are a mish-mash of eighties synths, snappy 808′s and appropriately cheesy r’n'b vocals. It’s also plenty catchy, so watch out so you don’t start singing out “spre-spre-spreeaad all over the bed” on the bus.

Plauge-juniorit radiossa 10 vuotta sitten

6688964115 70aa28d167 Plauge juniorit radiossa 10 vuotta sitten

Vanhoja on hauska muistella, mutta tää oli vähän rajoilla. Radio Moreenilla kymmenen vuotta sitten pyörinyt Karri Korpin juontama Kuumotus-ohjelma oli tamprelainen klubimusiikin erikoisohjelma. 25.11.2002 pääsivät studioon vieraiksi nuoret herrat Jon, Juha ja Miksu, sekä silloin Plaugen kuvioissa mukana ollut Toni. Hermostuneesti kikatteleva nelikko selitteli vastaperustetusta kollektiivista ja ideasta yhdistellä eri musatyylejä bileissä. Oman musan tekeminen oli innokasta vaikkei osaamista vielä oikein löytynytkään. Musiikkia kuunnellaan aina Avanto-projektin kehnosta Aphex Twin -pastissista Sanansaattajien suomiräppiin ja Juhan ja Miksun valitsemiin house- ja trancebiiseihin! Omia korvia hieman punottelee, mutta Hauskaa on kuitenkin kuunnella, kuinka teini-ikäisillä plaugelaisilla oli vahva idea, joka on säilynyt oikeastaan samana jo 10 vuotta!

Plauge 10 is coming!

Our 10th anniversary is on it’s way, so here is the official press release. Also available in Finnish below (like lehdistötiedote). And don’t forget our festival site at 10.plauge.net.

The DJ collective Plauge is celebrating it’s 10-year anniversary in February with seven different events all across town. A musical trip varying from live jazz to disco, from dubstep to techno, from hip hop to god-knows-what presents the entire musical spectrum of what the collective has to offer. Spanning over three weekends, the events all have different venues – each suitable for the occasion.

The bygone decade is also celebrated with the making of a documentary movie. The group, having started 10 years ago from all-ages youth parties, has grown and developed but maintained its mission of bringing a variety of music styles onto the city club scene. The twelve-strong collective is in a sense the alternative show producer of Tampere.

Things are afoot radio-wise during the jubilee year as well. As Bassoradio expands beyond Helsinki, Plauge is now responsible for the regional Tampere program for the station. The program, Tampere United, is a big step forwards for the national visibility of all movers and shakers of Tampere, as the goal is to provide visibility for anyone and everyone organizing parties and events in the city and nearby areas.

Plauge 10 party week timetable:

Feb 10th. Telakka: Grand Opening: André Sumelius Trio, Plauge DJ’s
Feb 11th. Cafe Europa – Plauge DJ’s
Feb 11th. Klubi: Beatfanatic (SE), Plauge DJ’s
Feb 17th. Volume: Tes La Rok, Plauge DJ’s
Feb 18th. Klubi: Fall On Your Sword (LCD Soundsystem, DFA records, NY, USA), Plauge DJ’s
