Guest Mix No. 13: Nander

Sydney's Hunter Gatherer imprint is one which we're tipping to become a far more widely known name in the Australian electronic music scene. With three releases under their belt this year already (the first of which from previous Generic Cast contributor, Gardland), the turnaround and quality of the label is impressive. Nander (aka Nick Anderson) is the latest producer to release material for the budding imprint, with two tracks, 'Steamer' and 'Speech.' Both move into interesting, some what experimental territory, pushing the boundaries of Techno in the process. The mix itself contains a host of unreleased Nander bits - which we can only hope we'll be seeing more of in the near future.

Guest Mix No. 12: Victoria Kim

Victoria Kim are yet to release anything, but that's soon to change. The duo are set to release a 12" - which is available for pre-order here, on boutique Sydney based imprint, The Finer Things. It doesn't end there however, with the pair joining the illustrious Templar Sound family, as well as having a forthcoming release on Breach's Naked Naked label. Taking influence from a diverse range of sources, their sound is something which we think is best heard - rather than written about. Their mix starts off in somewhat unknown territory (for us anyway), before moving towards more familiar floor-orientated business. Enjoy.

Guest Mix No. 11: Coyote Clean Up

Coyote Clean Up is Detroit native C.J Sienkiewicz. Since moving from Cleveland at a young age, the Motor City has lured Sienkiewicz in - as the place does with many people. His music has gradually evolved over time from Hip hop indebted sounds, to more of a House influence, making the recent association with 100% Silk a perfect partnership. Sienkiewicz's Frozen Solid cassette was released on the imprint last year, and is soon to be followed by a 12" on the LA based label. He also has a track forthcoming as part of Jimmy Edgar and Derrick May's We Love Detroit Compilation, alongside a few other upcoming projects throughout the year. The mix itself is eclectic and varied, with a bunch of tracks we don't know, and some that we do - making it another one for the trainspotters out there.

Guest Mix No. 10: Hurfyd

You all know Hurfyd - he's that guy with the Youtube channel who really likes Adventure Time. Oh, and he uploads some okay music as well. We managed to get in contact with the mysterious character himself, and after harassing him for weeks on end, he finally agreed to do us a mix. Initially he just sent us a 30 minute looped version of this "tune," before eventually agreeing to send over the actual mix. We had trouble understanding the tracklist since it was all in txt-speak and garbled text, so we're currently chasing him up for a more clarified version. Until then, however, enjoy some unreleased UK Techno dubplates and help us celebrate our tenth guest mix.

Guest Mix No. 9: Gardland

Gardland is Sydney duo Alex Murray and Mark Smith. Started initially as a solo project by Murray last year, Smith was recruited into the fold recently, with the pair playing their first live show together last month. The mix itself may have more well-respected and noted names within the techno contingent, such as Silent Servant, Skudge, Marcel Dettman, Ben Klock and Basic Soul Unit, than exclusive or unheard Gardland material, but the way it is put together is more than enough reason to listen.

Guest Mix No. 8: State

The UK Techno scene has been unstoppable in 2012. Spearheaded by the likes of Blawan, Boddika and Joy O, to name but a few, the genre has moved further away from the stoic 4/4 structures commonly associated with the genre into more groove-laden territory. State is a perpetrator of such sounds, with a brief listen of 'Coding' revealing a soulful rhythm more commonly aligned with House, embedded within dark percussion and menacing low-end. While yet to release anything on a label, judging by what we've heard on his Soundcloud and the new bits in this mix, that will change in the very near future. Get to know.

Guest Mix No. 7: Bobby Browser

For the seventh installment of our guest mix series we've enlisted the help of 100% Silk-signed badman, Bobby Browser (known to his moms as Andre Ferreira.) The Oakland-based producer dropped the stellar Just Browsing 12" on the label earlier this year, and has an EP in the works which he is currently "getting mastered." Ferreira isn't just a producer however, offering an impressive live synth show and an adept DJ set. This mix is 55 straight minutes of nothing but catchy House tracks, which only a handful of our eagle-eyed readers will be able to trainspot. So if you happen to recognize at least one of these tracks, let us know!

Guest Mix No. 6: Funerals

Despite being in the game since 2010, it was only a few months ago that we came across Ohio-based duo Funerals - just as they were prepping the release of their joint EP with Ritualz on Mishka's label. Intrigued by the dark, yet astral jams they'd sent us, we got in contact with them about doing a mix. The resulting mix, despite its 35-minute length, is nothing short of dark yet energetic with the sounds of GoldFFinch, Cosmin TRG and Mosca sharing a kind of kinship with their own. We've got a good feeling about this duo. Strap yourself in for the ride.
