Thrumcast 024 – Blazej Malinowski

It’s clear that Blazej Malinowski’s recent release “Mort EP” on Polish label Technosoul is a techno force to be reckoned with. Due for release in Feb/Mar, it coincides nicely with his Thrumcast contribution, revisiting the Silent Season sound in the beginning and ending up more in line with his current performance/release sound.

We’ve had our hairy eyeball on Blazej since 3 of his own Silent Season productions featured on Thrumcast 007 by the same label.

RA bio : Musician, dj, radio journalist, actively supporting Warsaw techno scene. Collector of vinyl records and items with potential to generate music; fascinated by synthesizers, samplers, drum machines, cables, knobs, oscillators, each of even the strangest instruments. Co-founder of Fűnfte Strasse project, which includes a radio broadcast and recurring music events to promote techno, deep techno.

Thrumcast 023 – Mig Madiq

From the Thrum Room massif we wish you all a Happy New Year. We could not think of a better way to begin 2016 than with a solid local Thrumcast, hence we bring to you Thrumcast 023 by Johannesburg based Mig Madiq.

The Thrumcast is an immaculate blend of one part Miguel’s own fine taste in deep house, one part a representation of his co-ownership in independent record label Just Move Records, and one part Thrum Room experimentation.

“Just Move Records is a South African record label and publisher, it has no regard for current trends and it has no desire to be hip or fit in, the focus is always on the music. A burning passion to push local artists, a social responsibility to expose bedroom producers and a need to showcase rare talent from humble backgrounds. Fusing music, art and poetry, releasing artistic pieces that tell a story of struggle, motivation and brighter days.”

Thrumcast 022 – Butane

After a slight hiatus, the Thrum Room collective decided it was only fair to end the year with a something spectacular.

Andrew Rasse from San Francisco, better known as Butane, has kindly agreed to have his (C₄H₁₀) Podcast Volume 05 double as Thrumcast 022.

“Owner of Alphahouse Records and Little Helpers, accomplished music producer, chef, wine collector, science enthusiast, philosopher, and international DJ.

Butane has been flying the underground flag, professionally, unapologetically, since 2001 when he began DJing. There are countless mechanisms ready-built into the electronic music industry which relentlessly pull one toward commercialization, aka selling-out, and he vows to resist them at all costs.

Respect the music. Respect the culture. Success is not measured in social media likes.”

Thrumcast 021 – Simon Køkkinn

We’re proud to present Thrumcast 021, a much welcomed diversion from the usual Thrum Room sound.

Simon Køkkinn was tasked to deliver said diversion in the form of a journey through the sluggier side of his proggy persona.

Jozi Based Simon has been hailed the “musical gentleman” of electronica, and has been in the game for almost 20 years, locally and abroad. Many have looked up to him as teacher and dj guru, and all can agree he indeed does possess the most immaculately disturbing sense of humour known to man.

Thrumcast 020 – Kat La Kat

Kat La Kat has earned somewhat legendary status over the past few years, largely thanks to sterling quality of his Deep Vibes mix series. Each episode enjoys a bit of a cult following and his popularity in deep house circles has led to a number of bookings at some of the country’s biggest festivals and events, a guest mix on the Deeper Shades of House show, not to mention his output as a producer of silky smooth deep house.

Kat was therefore a pretty obvious fit for the Thrumcast series, and his contribution is an effortless blend of genres and textures that affirms his status as one of the country’s leading purveyors of the deep.

Thrumcast 019 – Noah Pred

Thrumcast 019 by Noah Pred is probably our most energetic house/tech/dub offering to date … delivered to us in what can only be described as a class of it’s own, much like every carefully selected release on his label, Thoughtless Music.

Producing and performing live for over ten years, Noah emerged from the Canadian underground as a sought-after techno DJ with a sophisticated sound and unique style.

Making the leap to Europe after five years exploring the extensive musical underground of Canada’s multicultural metropolis, he comes deeply impacted by the unique influence of Toronto. Launching his Thoughtless imprint there over seven years ago, the label is now on its hundredth release. Then there’s the much-loved Thoughtless label parties….

Along with a rather enviable list of record labels he has released on, Noah’s latest full-length, Third Culture, continues to earn critical praise, further establishing his reputation as an artist with as much vision as skill.

Thrumcast 018 – Der Klient

Here at Thrum Room HQ, the Deep Afterhour podcast series (now reaching it’s 179th episode), is one which has always been admired and respected, particularly episode 80, which was compiled and mixed by Deep Afterhour honcho himself Martin Schulz aka Der Klient.

We have the absolute honour of presenting Thrumcast 18 by Der Klient. A vast and respectful understanding of both house and dub techno is clearly evident, and warm, rolling basslines that transcend genres makes for another milestone Thrumcast.

“Der Klient is from a small town called Neubukow, which is near Rostock (North Germany). As a big fan of electronic music he started DJing in 2008. He loves nature and particularly comfortableness. Because of that he fell quickly in love with the deep tones of house and techno music.”

Thrumcast 017 – Ofuren

We are delighted to kick 2015 off with a mix from an exciting young talent hailing from Witbank a.k.a. “place of coal”, situated near Johannesburg.

Siyabonga “Ofuren” Ngwenya first caught our attention via a guest mix which was broadcast on a community radio station early in 2014. An unexpected and unashamedly deep set that revealed a strongly-individualistic ear, we immediately reached out and connected with this kindred spirit.

Ofuren is a producer first and foremost – and has been releasing music since he was 19. He also curates for Roots Go Deep, which boasts a healthy discography featuring a host of like-minded local artists. Last year saw the labels first vinyl offering, a superb collaboration EP by Ofuren and Fred Buddah, and this was followed up with an outing on the revered Deep Explorer imprint.

At age 21, Ofuren is without any doubt someone to keep an eye out for.
