Snooker Looping: Steve Davis, DJ

Having recently been announced to DJ at electronic mecca Bloc in March - an unmissable prospect in itself - snooker legend Steve Davis chats to Loreana Rushe about his deep, decades-spanning love of collecting and discovering music and swapping the snooker table for decks for the century break of his life. Hi Steve! It's brilliant…

We’ve known Steve was a fan since he featured us on his radio show and headed down to rave it up at the release party for our Noments 12″ on The Quietus Phonographic Corporation. Thanks to Steve for putting us in his playlist of his favourite recent tunes (alongside the likes of Oneohtrix Point Never, Surgeon, Holly Herndon, Vakula and Prefuse 73) as he talks to The Thin Air website about the reasons behind why he’s been booked for Bloc.

Out now!

Sounding a bit like the intersection between Rhythm & Sound and Minimal Wave, 'Made In Time' is fast-paced analogue techno with dub flair, moving forward with a slow/fast rhythm that throbs away hypnotically with minimal-like restraint. The resulting pulse serves as canvas for sparsely placed and vastly spacious sonic events, all of this improvised in long hours of jam sessions meticulously recorded without exception. This EP was compiled by Photonz from a generous pool of session recordings sent by the guys during a period of 2 years between 2012 and 2014.

Thanks to the following for the +++ words about the release: Philip Sherburne, Factory Floor, Passarella Death Squad, Truss, Bintus J. Tijn,Worker/parasite, Sim Hutchins

“We’re primarily live musicians, rather than DJ’s. We initially thought of playing out the mix as a live improvisation, but since we’ve got a lot of new music about to be released and finally starting to play some live shows out and about, we instead decided that it’s a rare occasion for us to share some of the music we …

Seriously flattered to be allowed near the hallowed lands of Electronic Explorations!
