A few weeks ago, our artist Razz made a special podcast for 530techno.com, which is online now for your enjoyment.

530techno.com is a special kind of blog, coming from Corning, California. Besides an interesting offer of news about music, technology and art, they have a different approach for the structure of their podcasts. The sessions are split into 3 parts:

Roots and influences, in Sym Bio’s words (founder of 530techno.com): “Older songs which have influenced your tastes and style of djing”.
The second part is a dancefloor-oriented dj mix and the third part must portray new music which isn’t part of the dj/dance mix but is stuff the artist is listening to at the time.

Pretty interesting approach which delivers nice, uncommon podcasts. Enjoy Razz’ session and stay tuned for the Monopolar 530Techno podcast, coming soon!

Our good friends Sean-Michael Yoder & Sym Bio started on 2010 a great series of podcast from their California headquarters. THE CONDUIT PODCAST is a place where djs and producers of electronic music are encouraged to experiment and push the boundaries.

We are happy to share with you the sets that our artists RAZZ and MONOPOLAR recently released on this amazing podcast. RAZZ mixed a nice selection of recent tracks from our vaults and other unreleased recent gems in his groove-driven, always fun trademark style. MONOPOLAR made a creative tour-de-force, taking more than 60 cuts and clips from his released and unreleased music to produce an amazing new live set, a blend of his main musical ideas for the last two years.

THE CONDUIT // 010 – Razz

Humberto Polar (Pantamuzik founder, member of Monopolar):

‘When I started Pantamuzik, back in 2000, no digital music downloads were sold at all, vinyl distribution was an insane investment in Latin America (still is) and nobody djed with CDs.
So, if you were a musician as I was, trying to establish an ethos about creating a real Latin-American breed of electronic music that didn’t sound like an idiot putting some congas on top of some loops, you had to be really patient and in good terms with your own suicidal tendencies, financially speaking.

Maybe Argentina and Chile had a bit more presence in the alternative dancefloors due to talented musicians and DJs that made a name in Europe such as Franco Cinelli, Pier Bucci or Ricardo Villalobos. But if you were a Peruvian, living in Colombia and heading to Mexico as I was, things looked much tougher.
But here we are. As we said in the very beginning, the world doesn’t need another dance music label, especially the Third World. But we did it anyway.

Eight CDs and 15 digital releases in a decade are not a lot, but they speak clearly about how carefully we choose the music we release. Whenever we believe in an artist or a track, we support that music with all our heart, playing it, spreading it no matter how difficult that is nowadays, in a polytonal world where everybody is able to make himself heard, for the good or the bad.

Now we live in Mexico City. Razz, another ex-pat, from Argentina  joined me a couple of years ago and we spend long hours listening to demos from Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Venezuela… sometimes we DJ our catalog in clubs in the city, the country, the continent – and we can’t help smiling when we realize that hundreds of people dance frenetically to this music we Latin-Americans love and understand. It’s very likely that no German or UK label would ever listened to the dudes we release, maybe yes… anyway, we are here for the love of our music and our culture and we hope we can survive many more years doing exactly the same.

MONOPOLAR and RAZZ join the Deeper Nights crew (Mexico City) in a very special event of underground dancefloor culture. Monopolar will perform their newest live set with a bunch of unreleased beats, while Razz will DJ the latest Pantamuzik gems.

Deeper Nights:

Weekly party that takes place every Thursday at Club AM Local (Mexico City)

Yir-k and Indigo created Deeper Nights, featuring the who-is-who of the underground scene in the city, guest artists who really keep a high profile, owners of their record labels, producers that are already positioned in the international electronic music scene like Monopolar, Signal Deluxe, Itzone, Metrika, Mild Bang, Razz … among others.

Last week we released the new EP by Pantamuzik artist Razz, “Viaje” – We’ve had some great feedback, take a look!

The Viaje EP on Pantamuzik (is his first release on the label) is a two-track release of clustered synthesis drips, coming together with steady rhythms to create an unnerving, bouncy…yet unashamedly danceable house pack. Title track, “Viaje” sounds like the beginning of some ancient ritual…but soon jars into a club surrounding for a rather nice juxtaposition. The two scenes are melded together with ease by neat & tidy percussive tricks (his drum lessons clearly showing thru here) into a ferocious mix of sexual tension and hypnotic malevolence.

“Altiplano” gives us a bit of jazz, and why not? The swing ride symbols, the diminished 7th chords, the shakers; all you need is a martini and a bow tie and you are transported to Chicago circa 1930. Don’t get too comfortable though, its not long till the menace of synthesisers bombard the whole scene with their dripping wet sound and clockwork relentlessness. Think Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow….only good……(and not a film).

Razz’s love for electronic music spans back to the days of Z95 radio station and raves at Parque Sarmiento. Trained as a drummer, he decided to switch to turntables.  His budding career has led him to play throughout Argentina, along with practically every fellow artist in that competitive scene.

The Viaje E.P. on Pantamuzik is a two-track release of clustered synthesis drips, coming together with steady rhythms to create an unnerving, bouncy…yet unashamedly danceable house pack.

Title track, “Viaje” sounds like the beginning of some ancient ritual…but soon jars into a club surrounding for a rather nice juxtaposition.  The two scenes are melded together with ease by neat & tidy percussive tricks (his drum lessons clearly showing thru here) into a ferocious mix of sexual tension and hypnotic malevolence.
