Rising Sun Interview & Dj Mix / Random Circuits:
Our 9th Random Mix sees Rising Sun take to the ones & two’s with an excellent mix of house & techno music. Rising Sun’s music varies from deeper sounds right through to the more atmospheric sounding electronic music & sometimes with classical influences. For proof of this you only need to check his ever changing Myspace player. I was intrigued with Rising Sun’s player & his release on Workshop, which got overlooked as an EP earlier this year, so with this in mind we invited Rising Sun to be part of our Random Mix series & we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Rising Sun takes the listener on a real musical journey through great house & techno music both new and old & all of which has been mixed perfectly using only vinyl and a set of turntables. I think its quite fitting for this time of year as it includes lots of special records that you wouldn’t necessarily find in the everyday mix.Can you tell us a little about Rising Sun & your style of music?The artist name was inspired by the music of Tetrode Music, Specter and Damon Lamar have been the initiation in the end of 2007. The reserved deep housemusic that reminds of Larry Heard, but is not really a style of ist own, all that and the experienced influences of Soul, Funk, Hip hop, Jazz, Detroit techno and Deep House, this all is influential. More crossover than one specific style. The music itself is the sketchy attempt to detain moments that haven’t been planned, so it’s a statement that I can foresee in any way, even though the open up of a track is always the same, almost like a ritual.What can we expect to hear in the mix ?The mix was created without a real concept, like the music I do. selected only by emotion, a certain flow, deepness and also the experiences in the clubs as a DJ. So the mixing is done without thoughts about which records will now match together, always in a classic housemusic way, without big crossfaderaction but with long and smooth transition including human faults, without razzle-dazzle, only two Technics, a Vestax PMC 15, Split Cue and Sony MDR-7506, without monitoring. The mix exists on aloofness, the suspense of a Alfred Hitchcock film, the possibilty that something could happen the next moment but it doesn’t have to. The range is from Newworldaquarium, Sunpeople, Theo Parrish, Paperclip People to STL and Reggie Dokes.
