You don’t really get much more successful than John double-0. Nor do you get much more humble and respectful. In this job you’re often treated as just a number; but John elicits a certain downto-earth nature that is rare in a superstar DJ. “I’m just as busy as ever,” chimes John. “Actually, apart from spending as much time as I can in the studio, I’m actually spending most of my time in an aircraft at 35,000 feet. I often sit in the studio and try to figure out how to add an extra six hours to each day so I can get more stuff done. It seems to be getting harder fighting for time while touring, producing and also recovering from those long flights.” So after all these years, home is still the UK, despite all its failings (mostly the weather). “To be honest, the scene here isn’t in a healthy place right now,” he admits. “We used to be world class and leaders in the electronic music scene with every town and city having a plethora of events. Today, most of the big brands you know are struggling to sustain one off events, and when they do this they head for the usual guests. There is a glimmer of hope though, as I’m seeing many new underground nights appearing along with the stalwarts Fabric and Ministry holding on to weekly nights.” Musically speaking in 2013, Fleming rightfully refuses to accept his tag as a student of the trance movement. “I’m not one to jump onto musical fads,” he explains. “Nor do I want to be a chameleon DJ and adjust my sound to ensure I’ll always be on the main stage and have a pocket full of dollars. I’d rather hang up my headphones than play this game. I just play music that I believe in and this is what has kept me in love with being a DJ. There are always good things going on in any scene; musically, there is far too much to mention. I don’t just play the tracks that are currently popular; I’m a traditional DJ that still spends hours hunting for music and constantly finding interesting artists, labels and B sides.”
news
What a guy. in a few weeks called Beast from the East - a nice, dark, headsdown track aimed squarely at the dance floor. I’ve also got some bangers lined up for the later part of the year, as well as a single with Airwave, which should be a surprise.”

tour rumours
Long term friends and collaborators, Shifted and Sigha have launched a new series of events showcasing the sound surrounding their Our Circula Sound and Avian imprints and they’re bringing it down to our shores. Both producers and their labels have risen to prominence over the last few years, helping to spearhead the newly resurgent UK techno scene. The series of parties promises to fuse their more esoteric influences with the pitch black techno they have become known for. Individually they are enigmatic figures who have pioneered their own inimitable brands of techno but together they are on a whole different level. Head down to Mercat Basement on Friday October 11.

finnebassen
Summer Series have added Finnebassen to its already impressive roster and he’ll be landing in Melbourne in November. Finnebassen’s musical journey has been an interesting one. Once a genre-hopping teenager, Finnebassen is now well settled into his own inimitable style of house. Although he has been producing music and playing gigs in his hometown of Oslo for a long time, 2012 finally saw the first attacks of Finnebassen on the worldwide electronic music scene, in both performance and production. 2013 has been tour heavy for the 24-year-old and with his visit down under, his international reach grows wider every day. Make sure to head down to Revolver on Sunday November 17.

The label JOOF Recordings is going well for the Brit too – outstanding in fact. “Fans of the label know we don’t really have any genre rules, we simply offer DJ’s the appropriate tools for their set. May it be dark, hard, melodic or driving techno - the only rules we have in place are around strict quality control. And that keeps me very busy. Other than that, I’m putting together a music conference that will be held in Brighton UK in April 2014. While all other conferences are focusing on events to showcase their artists, our main goal is education and giving the next generation the tools and knowledge to forge a career in this music industry something I feel that has been neglected. We’ll be doing this under one roof, where everyone can rub shoulders with established DJ’s, producers, labels and get hands experience with manufactures to assist them in their difficult choices.” Finally, he is most chuffed about being invited back to play in Australia shortly. “I have to say I’m really looking forward to this one in particular. I’ve got five hours at each show, so this gives me time to delve into my whole music collection and express myself musically. I’ll be going through a whole range of styles including some very special moments as I look back in time. As with the past two JOOF Editions tours in Australia, they have been packed full of energy with the most wonderful crowds ever - people sharing the same love of music. And for those that have to use genre tags that get stigmatized with certain artists, no I’m not a psyrance DJ, come and enjoy an evening with no musical rules. Spread the word and make these parties the best ever yet.”

Indeed, he admits that he is a DJ first - and as such, he has always focused his attention on this whilst learning the art of producing. Recently then, after almost 20 years behind a mixing desk, he delivered his debut artist album at what he thought was the right time. “The way I see it, singles are a reflection of the artists’ regular style – music that they are known and loved for. Albums on the other hand, are a place for artists to express themselves musically. That’s the approach I took and wanted people to hear my passion for making music. Otherwise, I’ve got a new single coming out
gorgon city
Gorgon City are polished, powerful and party-minded and it’s already caught the ears of tastemakers like Diplo, DJ T, Annie Mac and Mistajam. Inspired by the endless groove possibilities when house, garage and bass music go toe-totoe, Gorgon City’s distinctive sound is a logical development of the duo’s individual work as RackNRuin and Foamo. Make sure to head down to Revolver on Saturday September 21.
ben sims
From early formative days earning his stripes spinning hip hop, house and rave on pirate radio, and at parties around Essex and East London, through the ‘90s as an ever more in demand DJ, and on into the new millennium as a label boss, producer and internationally recognised techno legend in his own right, Ben Sims has spent all his conscious life exploring all facets of underground dance music. Despite his veteran status in the scene, Sims has always been keen to evolve. Catch a legend on Friday October 25 at Brown Alley.

midland
Midland made his 2010 debut alongside long-time friend Pearson Sound with the anthemic Your Words Matter, a track that would go on to be placed in DJ Mag’s 100 Most Important House Records feature. Since then he has gone on to release tracks on Aus Music, She Works and Phonica as well as a bunch of remixes for the likes of Julio Bashmore and The 2 Bears.

Crowned King of the Mister Saturday Night label, Anthony Naples’ Mad Disrespect EP was the inaugural release for the label and gained the New York producer strong support from Four Tet. He later went on to remix 128 Harps at Four Tet’s request and from there his blistered-deep-chord productions have found a home on the infamous Will Bankhead’s The Trilogy Tapes, Rubadub records and a follow up on his spiritual home; Mister Saturday Night.

Living in Frankenthal near Frankfurt for the last 15 years, Boris Brejcha is a product of the global phenomenon in electronic music. Musically, Boris came from an instrumental base playing drums and keyboard as a youngster. “For me, it was important to have an instrumental base,” he chimes. And years on, he is a producer, DJ and bona-fide all ‘round upbeat guy. “I think the drums and keyboard are two of the most important tools for producing electronic music nowadays,” he says. “The focus on a cool and groovy beat and nice melody – it has helped me tremendously. If I have an idea in mind, I can arrange, mix and master a song in a day. Then it is completely finished and in the box. I have to say, it is not a must, but I would recommend new artists learn an instrument for this reason – it helps!” And that momentum from childhood has of course transferred into the studio in adulthood. Now having produced prolifically over the years, he remains committed to the cause and enjoys delivering new output, especially when it bends the rules. “I have been involved with Autist and Harthouse Records from the start,” he explains. “It was in the beginning that Autist liked my music when I got into the business. Six months later, I went to Harthouse, mainly because of my love of vinyl, where Autist Records only published digitally.” From there, he created a second project titled ANNA and published a number of singles and remixes until 2008 however wrapped the project up to focus more closely on material published in his own name. In 2013, the lad is also planning on creating his own label, but suggests that before that, he has a few plans with the Harthouse imprint. “We will release another EP in the next two to three weeks; and towards the end of the year I will publish my next and fourth studio album.” No less, hoping to make it particularly special, the album will be released as a double CD compilation, with the first mix comprising dance floor oriented material, with the second being calmer, more experimental. “This idea came up because of my very successful DJ mix, which I published at the end of 2012 on Soundcloud,” he says. “Some of the songs from this mix will be on the second part of the album. The name of the album is also already decided too – it will be called Feuerfalter. For it, we will prepare a number of exclusive packages and they will come with a lot of extras.” With its release, he continues down the path of being a DJ who is intent on playing a lot of his own material. “I have always played my
own tracks,” he adds. “The nice thing about my music is that I do not just produce in one line. I produce out of feeling – and accordingly, my DJ sets explore many different genres. But in terms of the style and the sound, everything revolves around my own personal style.” For this reason – and regardless of genre – he is a positive purveyor for the electronic music scene generally. “It is constantly good over here,” he chimes. “In fact both in Germany as well as worldwide. The genre of house and deep house is currently the most popular - but there are also all of the other genres of electronic music that are being well represented. There will always be one genre more popular than another. For me anyway, the scene is going very well in the techno area - especially in countries like Holland, Denmark, France, Brazil and Russia, but it is very well represented around the world. Finally, we talk briefly about the evolution of his music over the years – initially from minimal to techno more recently – and he claims his direction moves with the times. “Techno has always been a big part of my music; even though I didn’t specifically assign myself to a genre, I decided to create my own, calling it high-tech minimal. I think it was mainly because I have never wanted to be stuck within the one genre; I really like to mix things up without any limitations.” Outside of music, the man doesn’t mind a little football, table tennis and swimming - even a bit of computer design work. Admitting that he enjoys a well-rounded life outside of music, he claims external pursuits are incredibly important and creatively stimulating. “Working not-too-hard keeps your focus fresh,” he says. Which is probably why he is chuffed about being invited to play at the forthcoming Earthcore festival. “It is my first time and I’m pretty excited. I always say that if you go to a performance of Boris Brejcha it is always good fun because I play always a good mix of released and unreleased tracks.” And you can’t ask for much more than that?
strike Boris Brejcha plays at the Earthcore 20th Anniversary alongside Ace Ventura, Perfect Stranger and more, which takes place from Friday November 29 - Sunday December 1 at a yet to be disclosed location in country Victoria. soundcloud.com/boris-brejcha

The masked, crusading beatmaker that is Claptone hits Melbourne next weekend with the intention of bringing people to the far corners of the emotional spectrum through his unique sounds. The mysterious German producer who released the critically acclaimed Cream last year on Berlin based label Exploited is instantly recognisable with his golden bird-like mask. He’s been imprinting his blend of house influenced and bass heavy music in clubs and on stages globally with the aim to have a significant impact on the listening and dancing experience of people who come to his shows. “I love to make the people curious, scared, excited, amused, anxious, euphoric, sad and happy,” he says. “I don’t produce dance music, I create sound. Sound that reaches into your soul and touches your body.” Claptone has a deep and spiritual take on music, saying he exists to express himself through sound and a unique performance experience. “I exist because I express myself; I can not be otherwise,” he says. “There is so much sonic unrest in me, which needs manifestation, and as long as I am, I must communicate through sound so there will be Claptone.” Giving little away on the contents of his upcoming set at Revolver, Claptone says you have to listen closely to his music in order to get an understanding of the man and the driving force behind him. “If you listen very closely to the sound of Claptone you might get a glimpse into my whole universe full of secrets,” he says. “Let those secrets thrill you, allow them to fascinate you and enjoy the excitement they create within you, but accept them as what they are: secrets!” Asked why he doesn’t show his face while performing, he
philosophically describes wearing a mask as a common thing we all do in life’s different roles. “All people take in interaction with others on a daily basis; a lot of different roles. One could describe these roles as masks,” he says. “It is a tangible outward identity description, yet also identity.” Claptone explains that his success has come from his soul, as he is honoured to play music that brings out a physical and emotional response in his audience. “My biggest influence is certainly the soul, for the soul is always the main ingredient in the sonic soup,” he says. “But Claptone is also a creation of the people; only those who come to my gigs and listen to my music make me Claptone.” “Music casts a spell upon people, evoking their emotional response in many ways. It is a great honour to be able to touch people with my music and very rewarding to see them being swept away by the love and heartache, the ecstasy and melancholy that I bring onto them.” Every show he plays is enjoyable and fulfilling he says, with each set taking on its own ‘special energy.’ “Of course Warung in Brazil, Revolver in Melbourne, Creamfields in the UK or Watergate in Berlin are amazing, but I had great nights in Romania, Beirut, Montreal, Shanghai, Bordeaux, you name it,” he says. “But I dare say that almost every Claptone night is memorable for everybody involved.” It all goes down on Sunday September 15 at Revolver Upstairs. soundcloud.com/claptone
