Bedim is a DJ from Vilnius, Lithuania and was a part of the Despotin Beat Club radio-show / movement.

«The thing radio taught me is that the most surprising music often is found on the B-side. The stuff that you usually skip in search for a banger or a track that would be DJ friendly, easy to mix. With this installment I try to explore Folk / Ambient / Classical music, which happens to be mostly Japanese, and create an interesting and quirky sonic piece that I would enjoy listening to.»

Dylan M Howe is a musician based out of Portland, Oregon. He has released music and performed under the name C Plus Plus from 2014 to 2017 and is one half of the duos Portland Compressor and Action Sports with long-time collaborator Matthew Pepitone (aka Karmelloz).

Most recently, the duo released the album «Action Sports» on Barcelona based label Angoisse. The album mixes moody ambient techno with leftfield ambient constructions, all with a heavy dose of dub. The duo also recently released the second volume of their Portland Compressor series, which mixes melodic electronica with post-rock tendencies.

This mix was recorded on Pioneer CDJ-1000s with tracks that were largely compiled from CDs from Dylan’s recently totaled 1998 Subaru, alongside a few unreleased solo tracks and a forthcoming Action Sports track.

Berlin based Dj and producer Teenage Tasteless delivers an eclectic mix for our 10th podcast layering vinyl, digital audio files and tapes.

«In the nineties I was a rave kid but all my friends where goths and now I can’t tell the difference anymore. I always listened to hip hop but felt secretly embarrassed for the German kids wearing baggypants in school. Musically I started as a DJ and moved on to produce tracks to incorporate them in my sets. Later I started a band and disbanded it again because the music I had in mind was way to complicated to play for just three humans with such humble skills as ours. Now I still use the guitar as a sound source as much as the synths and editing techniques I’ve accumulated over the years.»

Some of his favourite records in no particular order:

  • Zoviet France – Loh Land
  • Aphex Twin – I Care Because You Do
  • Digable Planets – Blowout Comb
  • Sonic Youth – Experimental Jet Set, Trash And No Star
  • Squarepusher – Feed Me Weird Things

Yarn Audio’s 8th podcast has been mixed by George McVicar, a 22 year old producer and DJ living in London / UK. George is also part of the «Stray Landings» collective, a blog and label which has become more and more established in recent times. Along with fellow Stray Landings editor Stavrogin, George has furthermore began producing experimental industrial music under the name Aa3_Tzt.[RN500] – with their debut release on the horizon.

«This mix was partly inspired by a couple of shows I had played in the past with the Stray Landings collective. It's all on vinyl and although this means the sound is a bit dusty and the mixes less slick, I think this is a pretty good representation of what a live set from me would sound like.»

German text:

Yarn Audio’s achter Podcast wurde von George McVicar gemixt, einem 22-jährigem Produzenten und DJ aus London. George ist Teil des »Stray Landings« Kollektivs, welches ein Blog und Label betreibt und in letzter Zeit für immer mehr Aufsehen sorgt. Zusammen mit dem Stray Landings Redakteur »Stavrogin« produziert George unter dem Namen »Aa3_Tzt.[RN500]« außerdem experimentellen Industrial-Techno. Das Debut-Release wird nicht mehr lange auf sich warten lassen…

»Dieser Mix wurde von einigen Auftritten in letzter Zeit inspriert, bei denen ich zusammen mit dem Stray Landings-Kollektiv gespielt habe. Alle Tracks sind auf Vinyl. Auch wenn der Mix dadurch etwas angestaubt klingt und die Übergänge nicht 100% glatt sind, gibt er trotzdem einen guten Einblick, wie sich ein Liveset von mir anhören könnte.«

Yarn Audio presents another unique mix. The man behind the decks is SUB.FM resident and former netlabel-activist Simon/off. He has released his fusion of melodic house, banging garage and percussive bass on labels like Phuture Shock, B.YRSLF Division, Syncopathic and disko404 since 2005 and was already remixed by hardware enthusiast Bass Clef.

Simon/off is not only a versatile musician, but also an experienced party maker. So it’s no surprise, that his installment of Yarn’s podcast series is one of the most banging and personal mixtapes in the label’s history. UK vibes encounter broken house beats, dodgy breaks and dreamy melodies. Does it make sense to put Simon/off’s wonderful selection into words? Just give it a listen and swing away…

Here are some of his former free netaudio-releases:

The 5th Yarn Audio podcast is mixed by, aka Koen Nutters; a Dutch, Berlin based DJ and musician who, together with his Urban Mutations crew, runs two monthly nights at «Paloma Bar» and at Neukölln's favorite bar «O Tannenbaum».

This mix lays its focus on bass heavy Bristol tunes along with some Grime 2.0, some Club Constructions and a little Fade to Mind R&B. Bookheaded by two cuts from one recent and one upcoming PAN release. All with a lot of space and a lot of creative arrangement and tight but organic mixing by MFK.

Yarn Audio strikes back with another fabulous mix. Guest of honour is Tommy Harrison, delivering a playful selection of cutting-edge bass music and genre-shaping classics.

Influenced by the likes of Mark Pritchard, Mosca, Boddika, Hessle Audio, Joy O, Floating Points, Zed Bias, Roska, Julio Bashmore and Digital Soundboy … but also bumping J Dilla non-stop.

To say Harrison is versatile is not only an understatement, but somehow insulting to him as a DJ. Not only is he journeying over various genres of music, his record selections and performances involve music that has depth, soul and hits you in all those places you want it to … just when you want it to!
