Earlier in February during the discussion of a new part of podcast, we have talk with Vera Brothers about music and future plans
W: Tell us about you, gyus. How did your relationships with music start? You both were interested in this process?
VB: We started to get involved into music thanks to my older sister, she had posters of bands and lots of cds… That was like 15 years ago, then we started to have this fun musical trade-off with our friends. During that time our style was more like rock, reggae, hip-hop and other stuff, we always were fans of our local bands in Paraguay.
In 2012/13 we started to go to house parties.. At that point in time we didnt have any idea of what a being a dj truly meant. F.D.M was our first experience in electronic music club and we loved it. We assisted pretty much every time we could, to dance and to listen to good music, then we went on meeting more people inside the scene, going to more parties. After a while we started being PR on some of the cycles here, and we got more interested into the vibe. At some point that we started taking music production and mixing classes, and yes we both were interested in it because we are twins and everything we do, we do together haha.
W: What about your local scene?
VB: Here we have parties, a lot of promoters, some electronic music festivals, a warm crowd, but no so big… Constantly growing and evolving every time.
If we start talking about our local scene we can not fail to mention to Sequence Club, we both feel identified with that place, it was like our home, they were the first to open the doors for us, we were residents of Sequence Garden… Personally that was the best thing that happened in town. Once we got in there, our musical taste started changing drastically, we met artists that became good friends with us and they influence a lot in what we are and what we are doing right now, helping us to improve as artists.
We think that in our scene, people need to start appreciating more the local artists… And honestly, abroad too. Also being honest, we have pretty good artists to enjoy in Paraguay and South America in general!
W: As to the music genres – you said that you start with hip-hop/beats and then found house music. Can you distinguish some genre among others?
VB: We knew hip hop basically forever… It was the first genre that we squeezed a lot. We started playing music like reggae, funk, hip hop and some house, we also have a good variety of music collection and we aswell love to taste different new music, like flamengo, jazz, and every thing in between.. We now believe that the sounds that we like the most are house, techno and breaks, groovy acid basslines and powerful chords.
W: Top tracks for you now / which reflect your mood at the present moment
VB: We expose here music of different styles that we believe mark our roots
1 Groundation – Music is The Most High.
This piece of reggaedub we play whenever we can, the instrumental is so good, and what it make you feel too…changing tempos and a big bassline, this track is an answer to the question of why we play music
2 Los delinquentes – El aire de la calle
This is kind of a flamenco underground, this band has teach us a lot about rythm and passion, the lyrics are very good aswell.
3 LPZ – 1983
Here’s a very special house track for us, this was made by our friends of LPZ. This track is like a time machine, it make us remember the good old times..
4 Orishas – A lo cubano
And of couse we can’t forget about hip hop, this is the kind of music that we hear back in the days of school
W: Any plans for 2019?
VB: Keep doing music, continue the things that we are doing in town right now… We have a residency in Cafe Salazar, if you guys ever come to Asuncion you have to come to this place! we would love to travel to share our music too, do what we like to do, meet people and create more connections abroad! We’d like to think that we have interesting things to offer.
Thank you Welofi, Keep the good work and music!
And the last one, weloficast part 78

welofi x SAINTPVBLO
//short interview
W: Расскажи про себя –
чем живешь,
чем вдохновляешься?
S: Меня зовут Pvblo. Живу в Киеве. Живу двумя вещами в своей жизни: музыка + дизайн. Это две мои вселенные, через призму которых я хочу общаться с миром, дарить людям новый опыт и совершенствоваться для получения новых знаний в разных сферах искусства и не только.
В двух словах: я занимаюсь музыкой и являюсь одним из создателей и креативным директором бренда одежды TRÜFFLÉ™. Если озвучить чем я вдохновляюсь безостановочно каждый день, то это будет эстетика воплощения идей в реальность: то есть то, как люди прошлого, а также современные креативные люди, передают свое видение в своих работах. Меня захватывает когда я начинаю глубоко нырять в свое сознание, изучая произведения искусства, архитектуру, дизайн, музыку, людей которые это все создают – это позволяет создавать мне новые паттерны в голове и добавляет новых идей для моей деятельности.
W: Когда
и как
началась
твоя история
с музыкой?
S: Это, как обычно, формируется в детстве. Начиная с трехлетнего возраста, я очень часто ездил с отцом на дальние расстояния на автомобиле, и у него было очень много кассет с разнообразной и очень крутой музыкой. На подсознательном уровне это очень записалось — я имею в виду именно фильтр, когда ты понимаешь что такое действительно крутой музыкальный вкус. В доме, на кухне, 24/7 всегда работало радио, на ночь его громкость уменьшали, но все же оно всегда играло. Это были какие-то советские композиции и “подкасты”.
Но если говорить об осознанном увлечении, то оно началось в 2006-2007 годах. Интернета у меня тогда еще не было, было только спутниковое телевидение. Когда я увидел что есть такие каналы как MTV и VH1 – это была удивительная находка. Каждое утро, одеваясь в школу, я включал очень громко эти каналы, параллельно смотря видеоряд, собирался на учебу (само собой после просмотра Симпсонов, которые не пропускал ни одного утра).
Услышав и увидев первый раз Kanye West’а (наверное, это был клип на песню Stronger), я ждал каждый день чтобы еще и еще раз услышать эту композицию. Kanye West был началом моего фильтра уникальности для всей моей будущей жизни. Я за пару секунд осознал, увидев эту персону и услышав его исполнение, что это будет бесконечно уникальное развитие артиста, и он добьется в своем деле того, чего до него не добивался еще никто. Влияние его как творческой личности, на мое развитие в дальнейшем, было огромнейшим. Оно продолжается и сейчас, может, уже в меньшей степени, так как появляются очень много достойных личностей, мировозрение которых мне импонирует и влияет на меня тоже.
Увлечение электронной музыкой началось когда я поехал в США и познакомился там с девочкой из Ровно, Украина. Мы провели с ней очень много времени общаясь о разных вещах, но большее количество времени провели за общением и прослушиванием электронной музыки. При просмотре Boiler Room’а с HNNY и прослушивании Jamie XX, внутри появлялось ощущение полета, что и дало мне полнейшее осознание того, как музыка может влиять на твое состояние и настроение. Последние года очень сильно вдохновляет Jacques Greene, вот его электронная музыка — это действительно уникальная вещь, и мне нравится что это пока что не на “хайпе”. Надеюсь, таким и останется.
W: Пара слов о твоем подкасте
S: Каждый мой tape это некое подобие сказки/истории, чтобы у людей была возможность погрузится в него, почувствовать этот процесс создания, почувствовать форму этой композиции. Это то, чего бы я хотел в будущем достигать в лично мною созданных композициях, началом которых станет EP, которая будет выпущена в 2020.
W: Планы на 2019?
S: Развитие бренда, несколько инсайдерских вещей, которые пока что не могу озвучить, но они будут ближайшим летом уже воплощены. В предвкушении огромном от работы, которая ждет меня в этом и последующих годах с TRÜFFLÉ™ . Закончу с композициями, которые будут входить в мой первый EP, мастеринг и разные вещи которые сделают мой первый полноценный выход в мир музыки. Возможно, винильчик нарисуем, who knows)
W: Пять треков, отражающих твое внутреннее состояние на данный период времени
S: Ненавижу Shazam. Композиции которые не находит Shazam — они самые фантастические, и так будет всегда!
- Map.ache – You Need The Devil 5:45
- Burial and Four Tet – Moth 9:04
- Tevo Howard – Boing Pop (Kornél Kovács Remix) 6:40
- молчат дома – танцевать 3:22
- Synkro – Look at Yourself 4:36
Путешествуйте, пожалуйста! Это делает людей настолько интересными личностями. И чем больше людей будет знакомиться с другими культурами, тем легче будет стать единым целым. В этом ведь суть гармонии.
What devices or software do you use in music production? I’m currently…
Interview with DJ WIndows 7 The all behind the music: Until…
Tell us something more about you in general
My name is Thiago Ostoic, im from Uruguay. I have been working under the alias of Paniik for 2 years, when I started to get interested in the deep house sound, but then I was strongly attracted by dub sounds, minimal and sampled material, now my tracks have ambients where I want to take the listener to certain situation or some feeling.
When did music become a great part of your life?
It's hard to answer, music was always an important part of my life; but when I was around 15 years old I started to feel interested in creating my own sounds and trying to do what I wanted to hear.
At first they were boombap beats with jazz and funk samples but I wanted to go a little further and start creating my compositions on house rhythms and breaks.
What equipment or software do you use for production?
Most of my tracks have organic samples which I record with a portable recorder, in software I work with Reason and I use a small pad. The sounds are designed in the vcv rack, a great open source tool.
Sometimes take samples of funk, disco and bossanova vinyls that i listen in a old vinyl player i have.
What about your latest track Ur Love Is?
It performs the result of finding a raw sound and trying to return a few years ago. The track itself speaks of "your love" for a person, this can be interpreted in many ways, since the melody is becoming something nostalgic or melancholic. This causes the listener to have several ways of interpreting and feeling it.
What you can say about the Uruguayan music scene in general? It's very interesting get to know about it
In Uruguay the local scene is very varied and its growth has been constant since 2000.
Currently it is a solid culture full of interesting material, recently began to introduce the lofi in events and productions but mainly listen to house and techno.
Some years ago it also expanded outside the capital, having parties and raves in different parts of the country.
Some of the most outstanding and quality producers are the recent Error 909, Pulse who had Baltra playing on a local radio, Raveros known for having organized some of the most popular raves, Phonotheque with shows of international artists and Orbitar a local project focused on livesets.
What about your latest release on RawCraft Music?
Rawkuts is an ep in which I try something different, this conformed by 2 tracks with a lofi sound loaded with minimalist and deep influences. Both of break rhythms with samples of Roland 808 and raw and crunchy bass, the pads are vinyl sampled.
The promo can be hear on TraxSource
What are your plans for 2018?
Before the end of this year I want to get some collaborations, finish a lofi project that I have and start uploading collections of various artists to my latest label project Made In Saturn
Top 5 tracks for you now
Baltra – Never let go of Me
Laurence Guy – Wichita Falls
Midland – Drumtrak
Sweely – Dancing with U
Mathew Jhonson – Marionette
So what is this Truth thing all about and who’s behind?
Truth Radio is a podcast channel presenting raw and dusty lofi house. Truth Radio is also releasing free EPs from upcoming talents. We also run Truth Moments, which is a vinyl only label out of Truth Radio. Truth Radio and Truth Moments are working under the umbrella “Truth”.
Truth is founded by DJ JAN SPORT & Dill Collins in 2016. DJ JAN SPORT loves to explore the world with the truth and put music into his bag. Dill Collins just recently changed his name from Phil to Dill; however, still loves his drums.
How and why did you start your Truth projects?
We met around 2009 during our studies at “the school of truth” and quickly found a common interest in parties and especially electronic music. In the beginning, we usually met a few times a week in a little studio to hear very loud music and get fried together. After that we went out to hear even more music. Well, we probably spent about 5 years going to parties and listening to and collecting music together before the “Truth” suddenly turned out. So a close friendship and many fun nights with music gave birth to “Truth”.
When Truth Radio developed into being both a podcast channel and digital label, the natural next step was starting a vinyl label. A dream we have had for many years and now we felt the time was right. We reached out to Slim Hustla and Interplanetary Criminal to hear if they were up for doing a vinyl. A few months later we had the tracks and since then we have collaborated with Lobster to get the presses and distribution done. And now the 300 copies are finally in sale!
So even though we are just the two of us behind the label, we need to dedicate the truth to the entire community, which is a big part of it. There are so many kind and skilled upcoming producers and DJs who continuously guide our way. Also the different graphic designers, whom we have cooperated with have had a big role <3
What is the purpose of your projects and labels?
Our mission is to present talents who will make us dance in the dark 🙂
We started Truth Radio because there is so much dope music within this specific community; however, we felt that we had to give something back – something truth. None of us are particularly good at producing; however, our love for the vibes is so true that we simply had to do something more than just listening and doing mixtapes. So it felt very true in our hearts and souls to make a platform where we can present the music, which we really love.
Also, we have always had a passion for vinyls and we love playing and collecting ourselves. The mission with the music is pretty simple for us. With everything we release we aim to be 120 % true to our heart. The important thing for us is to release and share music that we ourselves find so awesome that others might love it too. That is basically what keeps us going; sharing our passion and love for lofi house with other like minded people around the world.
You recently released your first vinyl. Can you tell a little bit about it?
TM001 is a 4 tracker vinyl only release in 300 copies.
The A side features Interplanetary Criminal, who was actually the very first artist we welcomed on Truth Radio with a mixtape back in 2016.
You can perhaps say that he started our journey and love for lofi house and basically put the direction for where we are today. We have loved everything he has produced, whether it is mixes or tracks. His music is very unique with a combination of catchy vocal samples and raw lofi house beats. It goes directly into our truth hearts <3
The B side features Slim Hustla with one of the tracks in collaboration with DJ ÆDDIAS. We still remembers when we discovered Slim Hustla’s Soundcloud page. We immediately called each other said “Hey!! Have you seen this new Slim Hustla page?! Have you heard TRAPPED IN DA SPEED FORCE!? It’s so fire!”
We really liked that they were hidden and secret and no one knew who they really were. It was just after a few months writing back and forth in english when they finally said “Okay we can’t keep it as a secret for you anymore, let’s write in Danish instead haha”.
In our opinion they totally came with their own style and perception of lofi house. We have been in love with their sound ever since and it was pretty clear that we wanted Slim Hustla on TM001.
With the B2 track Slim Hustla partnered up with DJ ÆDIDIAS and out came the track “Touch”, which is just everything we love about lofi and house put together in a symphony of pure raw love. DJ ÆDIDIAS definitely knows the truth! Last summer we had the pleasure of premiering one of their tracks made in collaboration.
It seemed like the community loved this one and therefore we are very pleased to welcome back their work on TM001 <3
What’s the plans for the label? Are you looking for more artists to be featured In the future?
We are currently planning TM002 and TM003. Unfortunately we cannot share anything yet; however, in general, keep an eye of the artists we release mixes and EP’s with on Truth Radio. These are most likely the ones we will go after with Truth Moments also. Also we release a digital EP almost every month on Truth Radio and next up is some really dope shit from Lee Wolf, Buddy Lembeck and more awesome talents.
Are you currently looking for tracks? If yes, what are you looking for in a track or artist? What kind of vibe?
We are always looking for new tracks and we love receiving demos that we can perhaps use in our mixtapes. Even though we put a lot of time in finding new music and new artists ourselves, we sometimes get blown away from an unknown artist sharing his or her tracks. A few of the EP’s on Truth Radio actually came this way. We really do appreciate people taking time to share their music with us and we always do our best to listen and reply everyone. Music wise, we enjoy it rather raw, dusty and dark, but at the same time groovy. Lately we have been very impressed by the sounds coming from Ukraine and Russia. These vibes are super raw but at the same time emotional and dreamy.
Where can people buy music releases by Truth Radio?
TM001 is still available in a few online stores:
All our digital releases through Truth Radio are available for free on our Bandcamp page
Anything else you want to add?
As we said earlier, all our love goes out to the entire community that is spreading so much good vibe around the world. We send our love to the truth listeners, producers and similar-minded labels and channels like Moskalus, Houseum, Four Heads, PalmStructure, Too Rough 4 Radio, Rawcast, Making Waves Underground, Haus of Altr, These Things Take Time, 40 Nights, Dansu Discs, Who’s Susan, Rodeo, Eminent, Helmstedtunderground, Charmin Records, We Play Wax, Sound Transitions, LR4991, Project Indigo, SHD, Criminal Practice, PIFF Records and Berlin House Music.

Weloficast vol.30 with producer from Seville, Spain – DJ Nerdiboy
As a representative of Nerang Recordings and Dream Raw Recordings he made a mix full of raw sounding
Lo-fi house (also referred to as outsider house/leftfield house) is a genre of electronic music combining elements of house music, techno and noise. The music is often rough-sounding and “lo-fi”, in contrast to the “polished cleanliness” of other contemporary electronic music genres. The term “outsider dance” was first coined in 2012 by DJ Ben UFO and music journalist Scott Wilson, referring to different producers and record labels “operating at the fringes of the fringes” such as Laurel Halo and labels including L.I.E.S., Opal Tapes, Future Times, 1080p, and Lobster Theremin. Outsider house is also closely related to technoise, a fusion of techno and noise music
Lo-fi (originally typeset as low-fi [from the term “low fidelity”] and alternately called DIY [from “do it yourself”]) is an aesthetic of recorded music in which the sound quality is lower than the usual contemporary standards, or which highlights imperfections of the recording for artistic effect.
These standards have evolved throughout history, meaning that some older examples of lo-fi may not have been originally recognized as such. Lo-fi only began to be recognized as a style of popular music in the 1990s. Harmonic distortion (or “analogue warmth”) is sometimes wrongly suggested as a core feature of lo-fi music. Its aesthetic is actually defined by the inclusion of elements normally viewed as undesirable in professional contexts, such as misplayed notes, environmental interference, or phonographic imperfections (degraded audio signals, tape hiss, and so on)
Some Wiki info
Please, tell us about your activity at the present time
We are publishing music by the artists from Ural Federal District – Yekaterinburg, Tyumen, Chelyabinsk or it’s districts. We usually make tape releases, but recently, we start using bandcamp as a digital platform for releases. And we also making parties.
It’s interesting to know about the way you have passed for the creation of tape music label and events organisation at Ural region?
Our first “event” was a stage at the annual festival Ural Music Night (UMN). At that time there were ideas about organisation of music label. But first tapes (it was compilation КОНСТРУКТ) we prefered to release with UMN as a merch. Preparing for the festival has taken about 4 months. After it we had got some unsold tapes and we decided to develop a music label.
Closer to autumn we started work at our second compilation Формула В. In honor of the release we make a local party – not so much people, mostly community members and friends. That was a beginning.
Is any especial trait makes Urals underground scene more severe? What places in Ekaterinburg you can mark and advise to visit?
I can’t say about all region but in Ekaterinburg the bar Мизантроп is impersonation of Urals underground. Also there is bar Syndrome with interesting music.
Guys from promotion bureau ТЕСНОТА organizes very cheerful and nice events in our city among different places. For example, at National Center for Contemporary Art (NCCA) or at abandoned factory – no location limits is better to say. Also Oberton и NOISEFISHIN’‘s parties are necessarily to visit.
But if we sum, everything is not so rosy, it’s not enough of interesting artists ready to visit our places
If we talk about releases, what you can say about first release – how it was and how much motivation you have got after it?
If we talk about material, our first tape turned out very different. The cover was not perfect for us, but one of the track from this compilation (Cardmoth – Femme Fatale) unexpectedly was bought and published by the owner of youtube channel – Slav
The track quickly got up to 20 000 plays and all other cassetes was sold out. That fact inspired us a lot!
Because that the second compilation was got together with double-quick.
Last question: what is your plans for 2018?
We are actively preparing now for the second Ural Music Night, which have place to be on June 29.
You could hear experimental sounding in Yekaterinburg Gallery of Modern art – “anonymous improvisations”.
In the second half of the year we are planning to pelease 4 tapes at least and settle firmly on Apple Music, Google Play etc.
Also some interesting parties are preparing.

Some Wiki info
How much time do you spend on music?
It depends on the week – if have too much to do. But probably like 2 days a week I work on my music and and the rest for me it’s just looking for more music
Can you tell us something about how your musical taste evolution?
Well when I first started to listen electronic music I was into dubstep and witch house around 2010. Then the deep house era hit me and I’ve started to do my own productions and finally my music taste right now can turn my music into house, electro and techno
What devices or software do you use in music production?
For my music productions I use ableton live 9 with just my custom presets and samples. I want to keep it simple because when my tracks get too complex I don’t like them anymore.
The VST’s I use the most are dexed, izotope vinyl and guitar rig
What you think about the so-called «lo-fi» scene/music which became quite a popular thing now?
I think this genre is just awesome – people have no boundaries for do what they love. This let people follow any path they want and keepin it nostalgic and warm
For you personally music is a main occupation or just a lovely hobby?
Producing music it’s my favorite hobby, I’m currently learning to mix on vinyl and studying computer science. I hope maybe in the future music can be my main occupation
What do you think about new colombian house scene and interesting places for visit in your opinion?
I don’t know too much about colombian house to be honest, but I think the guys of Discos Nutabe from Medellin are doing a really good job and my friend Felipe Gordon who just release on Toy Tonics. About places to visit in Colombia there is one place on Medellin called Calle 9+1

Lo-fi house (also referred to as outsider house) is a genre of electronic music combining elements of house music, techno and noise. The music is often rough-sounding and “lo-fi”, in contrast to the “polished cleanliness” of other contemporary electronic music genres. The term “outsider dance” was first coined in 2012 by DJ Ben UFO and music journalist Scott Wilson, referring to different producers and record labels “operating at the fringes of the fringes” such as Laurel Halo and labels including L.I.E.S., Opal Tapes, Future Times, 1080p, and Lobster Theremin. Outsider house is also closely related to technoise, a fusion of techno and noise music
Lo-fi (originally typeset as low-fi [from the term “low fidelity”] and alternately called DIY [from “do it yourself”]) is an aesthetic of recorded music in which the sound quality is lower than the usual contemporary standards, or which highlights imperfections of the recording for artistic effect.
These standards have evolved throughout history, meaning that some older examples of lo-fi may not have been originally recognized as such. Lo-fi only began to be recognized as a style of popular music in the 1990s. Harmonic distortion (or “analogue warmth”) is sometimes wrongly suggested as a core feature of lo-fi music. Its aesthetic is actually defined by the inclusion of elements normally viewed as undesirable in professional contexts, such as misplayed notes, environmental interference, or phonographic imperfections (degraded audio signals, tape hiss, and so on)

Can you tell us something about how your musical taste evolution?

Short interview with Adam and his podcast for weloficast series vol.23 lo-fi house
– When did music become a great part of your life? Has it started with a music digging, producing or maybe with your YouTube channel?
Well, music has always been a huge part of my life. I started playing drums during 4 years at like 10 years old or something. I remember my biggest “crush” on music, it was in 2007 I think, I was watching MTV and then Kanye West was doing a live performance for some awards show. He performed “Good Life” with T-Pain in Las Vegas and that was insane to me. Since this day Kanye became my favorite artist of all time.
Plus, I’ve always been a music digger, I’ve spent so much time looking for tracks. My friends were always coming to me to know what I was listening to… And with my YouTube Channel “Adam”, I wanted to share kind of unknown producers at first because I know there’s so many producers with great talent but still underrated.
– Your music is saturated with an inspiration theme. What does it mean to you and where do you find it?
I’ve been through a period, and I still am, where I’m looking for inspiration, motivation. I wanted the “inspiration” thing to be reflected into my music. So with my first track “Inspirational“, I sampled a Kanye West’s speech that I really like and that’s it. Same thing about my second track with a Steve Jobs speech.
– Any thoughts about the so-called «lo-fi» scene/music which became quite a popular thing now?
I’m really enjoying the lo-fi scene, I know that it’s getting more and more popular but I think this is not a bad thing. We can see now multiple producers being booked on the biggest festivals such as Ross From Friends, DJ Seinfeld. There’s also this group on facebook called “Strictly Lo-Fi“, it’s like a community of great people/producers/promoters sharing tracks. But what is good with this group except the good energy of everyone, now that there’s many members, it’s that the group has the power to make known some “underrated” producers. Much love to SLF.
– For you personally music is a main occupation or just a lovely hobby?
For me music is just a hobby, other than playing or producing tracks I’m still a university student !
– Any musical plans for 2018 or its a spontaneous thing?
It is a spontaneous thing, I’m only producing whenever I feel inspirated but my plans are to release the more tracks I can in 2018. We will see…

Interview for welofi by DJ DIFFERENT
– Where did this passion for smooth music come from?
Hm… Tough question but I guess since I was a child I was always fascinated by the art of sound in all it’s forms. My first two cd’s I bought was 666’s “Paradoxx” and Michael Jackson’s “Past present and future” album.
So you can see the difference.
– What equipment or software do you use for production?
Literally just my Mac with Logic Pro. I experimented with a lot of hardware but it hindered my fast production style ALOT. It’s still fun to do live-acts tho.
– Where do you find inspiration?
I think for me it comes from sad and happy feelings, my mood is very fluctuating and so are my tracks. They can be both sad and very happy and it all depends on what i’m feeling in that exact moment because I make tracks in roughly 2-3h in general.
– What projects preceded the emergence of DJ Different in all its diversity?
My first Alias was “MODA” and Moda focuses mainly on lofi/oldschool house. I kind of felt cornered with Moda and wanted to be more free in my production style and not care so much about genre but of what made me feel good. Hence came DJ Different.
– In your opinion, did the raw music has become quite a popular thing now?
I guess so, I’ve been around the scene in a couple of years now and it has definitely grown a lot. I think people also like the aesthetics of raw house and where it comes from. What drew me to this type of electronic music was it’s sincerity to emotions and vibe.
– Swedish underground, what is the most conspicuous place for visiting in Sweden?
I would def say Malmö and Stockholm for the summers. Especially “Trädgården” in Stockholm and the Underground Scene in Malmö. Some wikkid talent and sweaty dance floor evenings.
– What are your plans for 2018?
I’ve got some exciting new releases coming on my favourite labels (5 if all goes as planned) and i’m also in the plans of creating my own label but we will see! Some other news coming up real soon as well but I cannot say yet 🙂
– Top 5 tracks for you now

How much time do you spend on music?
I’m listening to music daily, could be at home or in public transports. Can’t do a day without. About production, I only do when I feel like it, explains the irregular rhythm of my releases. Sometimes I can do nothing for 2 weeks. For me it’s not really a question of time, if I have to find some for music, I find it. But the most important thing is to have an idea of what I want to achieve.
In your interview for MY MUSIC MOMENTS, you mentioned a wide musical horizon. Can you tell us something about how your musical taste evolution?
I had periods with different musical horizons. I was able to discover many artists in many musical genres.
I still like nowaday to listen to old death metal bands like I used to as a teenager. I moved from metal to indie, old school drum and bass, hip hop, classical, ambient, house, techno, dub techno… I had 2 others projects (trap and ambient/experimental) that I left before starting AL94
What do you think about the French music scene in general and about its perspectives?
I think French music scene offers a HUGE range of variety and awesome creative artists but still not each one get the audience it deserves. But this is not a problem that only affects France, although countries like England are more likely to bring out interesting artists. It’s tiring to have to constantly undergo preformatted tracks that we broadcast on television on the radio etc … and often enough that they involuntarily get into your head. It is fast food music and a large part of the population is happy with it.
On a rather positive note, there is no reason to worry about the French scene!
And how do you get inspiration? Tell us something about your music making process
The main important ingredient in my view is to create a whole atmosphere around a track. I get my inspiration from all the stuff I can listen to currently. I like to pay tribute to some things that may be important to me or even make me laugh.
Technically, I choose to select one or more samples and then I draw my drums patterns that will fit to the mood. I take a lot of time choosing wich kick is going to follow this hat, snare… I re-arrange manually numbers values of different knobs on all my track.
Same for the bassline. Then after when the whole track is “drawn”, I set FX, filters, and audio equalizing where I want it to be and if I feel it requiered or not. As easy as it sounds like!

– What devices or software do you use in music production?
I use ableton 9.0, but at the moment as a producer i’ve only got beginner skills.
– What kind of music or an artists influenced the formation of your musical taste? May be it was some events?
Seven years ago I first listened to Soulsearcher Feelin’ Love [club edit]. Guess it was the start point of my affection for house music.
– What you think about tendencies of music development in house music? Maybe it all turns into some new genre, don’t you think so?
House music is like an epic poem, no matter by how many variations it can be absorbed, it will exist in the primary structure.
– You are the owner of giorgian music label PalmStructure? Tell us something more about conception and history of it’s creation.
I’ve always had desire to share music. Since 2012 I started uploading various tracks on my youtube channel, it hadn’t any official aspect, but however that time gave me a shove to establish Palmstructure as a well-defined label,so with regards to many labels and artists, today Palmstructure is the beneficial label for Georgian musicians and not only.
– Georgia is very old country with it’s specific music scene. Which aspects forms its image nowdays?
Georgian music is known for its special and distinctive sound. Club scene is developed in our capital city – Tbilisi, where all ravers or just listeners can find their place. Nowadays it’s one of the most famous scene in the world and it’s a big honor for many well-known artists to perform here. Clubs with it’s owners support many artists, including musicians with the same age as me. My wander began when i was 17 and it was kind of aid for me to be a part of it.
– Okay, what is planning DJ Sendnudes in 2018?
In 2018 DJ SENDNUDES is going to advance his skills and abilities, make headway and speed up to hear his own tracks in upcoming sets.

Some days ago we have talk with Nicolas Barnes and got some new podcast
Hey. Nicolas! When music came into your life? Are there any inspirators for that?
Music has always been a part of my life. Since childhood, i suppose, when i for the first time heard Daft Punk and they became my inspirators for sure.
Since early 90s Riga is one of the most influential centers of developing dance culture among the post-Soviet area. What do you think about the actual state of things in Latvia?
Although Latvia was kinda a pioneer in electronic music for USSR in the late 80s, nowadays it has quite poor scene, more and more clubs closing year by year. In my opinion, electronic music scene of Latvia was much better 3-4 years ago.
Some thoughts about the actual state of electronic music on post-Soviet area?
Talking about the post-Soviet area, among the other Baltic countries I can highlight such country as Lithuania.
Also Ukraine has a good level of underground and Moscow, by all means, is a leader in this sphere – there is always something interesting, including parties with the different foreign musicians.
You are a founder of RawCraft Music label. Let us know more about its conception?
RawCraft label appeared spontaneously, it’s like a test for me – i just want to see what will come of it. The main conception of label is house music (lo-fi, raw), though techno is not an exception too.
Five (raw) house tracks which inspire you now
Ross from friends – talk to me
Dj boring – Winona
Kedr Livanskiy – your name
Slim Hustla – night patrollin
Betonkust & palmbomen II – 24×33
Is there any story stuck in your memory which is connected with your music activity?
Ok, tell you the funniest one: it was in Riga during summer 2017 when DJ Boring came to play there. And suddenly he got very tired of questions about «lo-fi» house and of demands «to play some lo-fi house». He just crouched down with beer in his hand and cigarette in his mouth and started to explain that he doesn’t like such an inscription like «lo-fi», its all the same with house music. podcast
What are your plans for 2018?
This year I want to launch parties with Palmstructure label and to release the first vinyl record with VA on my label as far as possible.

Ciao, Ulderico! How is it going? First of all, let us congratulate you on your «Modelissimo» EP. Interested in model-making?
Thank you! Glad you like “MODELLISMO” – The release is going well: everyday I receive new interesting feedback from all around the world, many big names of club culture are supporting the EP.. I couldn’t be more pleased
I’m not exactly passionate about model-making.. This EP is just my tribute to the old school house music: I did replicas (reproductions) of the music I love.. It was like building a model.
:format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(40)/discogs-images/R-11485281-1517162275-9902.jpeg.jpg "welofi MODELLISMO")
How did you first discover your passion for music and for leftfield house in particular?
I’ve always been passionate about electronic dance music.. since I was a child – house / techno / disco / progressive ..I like everything!
I’m not exactly a fan of this “new” leftfield wave – Let’s say that 2 years ago I (re)discovered my love for the music I used to listen a long time ago.
Tell us a bit more about your music equipment. Can you say that an old Akai MPC is your main tool? What about Swiss pocketknife? Sounds very interesting
Everything you can hear in this EP passed through an AKAI MPC 1000.
I recorded, cutted and edited every single sample with Akai… Let’s say that this incredible sampler is my swiss pocketknife ..as a multi-tool knife
Did you notice that increased attention to the oldschool house/ lo-fi house music, some sort of trend has emerged. What do you think about that?
I think music is somehow cyclic, every musical period or trend is going to go back in style, you just need to wait for it to come.
What we call “lofi house” today is what we called “old school house” 10 years ago, “underground” 20 years ago or “Chigago house” 30 years ago: we are always talking about the same thing, that periodically goes back on trend.
In this particular case of the lofi house explosion, I personally see that as a celebration of the house music’s roots… at least that’s what it is for me!
What inspires you the most?
Literally everything! Every kind of music genre can be an inspiration for me… sometimes it’s just a bass, a pad or a voice that gives me the right vibe! There’s no rules in inspiration.
I just wish this doesn’t develop into something really mainstream, cause it’s important to know its origins and treat it with respect. I think this is the only way to make it last longer.
Italy has its special house sound and the community of musicians too. Can you say that Italy is not static in the musical aspect, that it’s developing or there are some problems maybe?
There are a lot of different realities that are coexisting in the Italian underground panorama right now but I feel like the main trend is the techno/techhouse.
For what the leftfield/lofi is concerned, let’s say the movement is slowly growing, but unfortunately for a dj it’s difficult to find his own place in this panorama.
What are your plans for 2018?
I just finished a remix for Platform rec. and with the label (Platform rec.) we just started to work on a special edition of “MODELLISMO” – it will be “MODELLISMO The Remixes”: 4 remixers (without distinctions of genre) will work on my tracks, give it new “dresses”

Weloficast series podcast vol. 12 by WELOFI w/ Денис Казаков
Only homeland music – raw sounding of house created by the russian producers
Lo-fi house (also referred to as outsider house) is a genre of electronic music combining elements of house music, techno and noise. The music is often rough-sounding and “lo-fi”, in contrast to the “polished cleanliness” of other contemporary electronic music genres. The term “outsider dance” was first coined in 2012 by DJ Ben UFO and music journalist Scott Wilson, referring to different producers and record labels “operating at the fringes of the fringes” such as Laurel Halo and labels including L.I.E.S., Opal Tapes, Future Times, 1080p, and Lobster Theremin. Outsider house is also closely related to technoise, a fusion of techno and noise music
Lo-fi (originally typeset as low-fi [from the term “low fidelity”] and alternately called DIY [from “do it yourself”]) is an aesthetic of recorded music in which the sound quality is lower than the usual contemporary standards, or which highlights imperfections of the recording for artistic effect.
These standards have evolved throughout history, meaning that some older examples of lo-fi may not have been originally recognized as such. Lo-fi only began to be recognized as a style of popular music in the 1990s. Harmonic distortion (or “analogue warmth”) is sometimes wrongly suggested as a core feature of lo-fi music. Its aesthetic is actually defined by the inclusion of elements normally viewed as undesirable in professional contexts, such as misplayed notes, environmental interference, or phonographic imperfections (degraded audio signals, tape hiss, and so on).

I few days ago we talked with the italian lo-fi house producer Jacopo Sb. He continued our Weloficast series with the great podcast mix and answered for some questions about his music activities.
Short Interview:
When did your path with music cross for the first time? Had your music preferences undergone some sort of transformation?
I always had this passion for the music and six years ago, by chance, I started listening to underground and electronic music and I felt in love with. Yes, my music suffered the transformation; at first I listened and produced to techno music then I found my way in Lo-fi House music.
Who or what inspires your creativity? Judging by the tracks’ titles we dare say that its connected with love by far.
I always used to listen to all kind of music and in every track there is a mix of my sound researches , especially in 80’s house disco. However in every track I create there is a connection with my family, so it’s pure love!
Your music has the specific fruitiness and smooth raw sounding like analogue machines have. Do you get this effect through the analogue equipment?
Yes, I work with analogue machine like a microkorg, Roland Tb-03, Roland Tr-09 and especially my loved tape recorder everyday! I like that people listen to the impression of many years ago, old sounds, something like that.
Ah…I also use many vst and plugins.
Any principles you adhere to in creating your music?
I have a few simple rules: first of all, simplicity; then you should always have different sound projects in order to avoid to get bored and it’s also important to think about something makes you feel happy; finally there should be a deep bass and reverbered pad!!
Tell us something about your releases. Which do you consider the most significant for today or maybe you really proud of smth?
I was lucky to be released in many labels but till today the most important release is my Ep “Roxanne” out on Bellissima Records on tape and dig. Soon I’ll be part of the V.A “All that Jelly Vol.4 ” on Smile For A While on vinyl…it will be a bomb!!
What do you think about the course of development of the contemporary raw music scene?
I think that it is in full growth (finally!!) but in Italy this style it’s not developed like I would, Even if there are many guys that like me represent very well this raw and lofi music scene. However, I love that this style is seen like a music for a few people because who appreciate it have refined tastes!
Are there any places/events with the special atmosphere for you to play or just to have some fun?
Yes! there are some place where I’d like to play like Dekmantel, Prince Charles, Club 21, Concrete, obviously Boiler Room, Redlights Radio and Serendipity (near my town) and many other…
If Santa ask you about any place in the world to play, what would you say?
If Santa asks me about a place to play, I’ll answer Boiler Room because I like the idea of being in the crowd and the relationship that is created with people.
And the last question: how ambitious are your plans for 2018?
I hope that 2018 will be a year where I will improve by music and looking for more and more to make my style known and the lofi house music to everyone.

Today’s weloficast series podcast vol.7 by MAAVIN. We talked to him and asked some questions about his creativity and views on life. That’s what we got:
What are the reasons for you to love this specific raw sounding?
I think raw scene resonates with me the most not only because of its specific crusty and early hip-hop influenced sound, but also its overall atmosphere. You can’t get the same feeling listening to commercially produced record.
If we talk about devices, which are the most important in studio in your opinion and which do you use in music production?
I can’t afford to use hardware in my production, so instead I study the principles of its work and then try to emulate it in my DAW. That said, the most important thing to me is my MIDI keyboard, I think its essential to have one in order to achieve the flowing and dynamic sound. If I had the opportunity I’d buy mpc60 or sp1200, their iconic 12-bit sound influenced my music quite a lot.
And what do you think about the tendencies of development of raw house music in Russia?
Russia has a lot of different incredibly talented producers and thanks to the Internet some of them are well-known overseas, even more so than here. When it comes to general public, I think the raw house scene is still very much underground, but it’s only a matter of time before it changes. We already have our own independent labels and a fast growing community.
You are one of the creators of events under the auspices of the SESSIA, please tell us something more about the idea of its creation?
We created SESSIA together with one of my friends, rarimdamph. We both wanted to make an event where it’d be possible to play the music we like and invite artists that we personally enjoy. You can’t hear this type of sound in a lot of places. We had a few troubles at the start before figuring out the path we wanted to follow, but I think right now we’ve got the potential to grow into something great.
What’s in the plans for SESSIA events? Maybe SESSIA x Boiler Room? – That sounds good.
SESSIA’s got a lot of plans. We want to expand and invite not only Russian musicians, but also some of the people we enjoy from all over the world. Right now you can look forward to collaboration between us and VDL.
Ok, and finally, if we talk about your self-development, what inspires you the most?
Fortunately I know a lot of very very talented people and their creativity is what often gives me the urge to immediately drop everything and go write new music. I got a lot of plans for future releases, including collaborations with some of my favorite Russian producers. Stay tuned.

We want to introduce some interesting Russian music labels and tell something more about local modern underground music scene
RAW RUSSIAN
Label RAW RUSSIAN was created in 2016 as a community that would support only russian young producers. The ideology of community is aimed at supporting and promotion of russian musicians all over the world. Earlier label made its first experimental release – it was the tape with only Russian women – musicians and female producers on the board, that release was called – “Russian Girls Like Raw“. Apart from that, Raw Russian label opened a new vinyl-only label that was named “Illegal Russia” and released a first EP by Nikita Villeneuve and Egor Lipator.
. SAMOPAL . RECORDS .
Samopal Records is a self-made label founded by Very Long Cat and Screep. Label releases performs a self-made music of different directions, without any frames by many representatives. The label positions itself as the free from commercial projects interested in music in its essence so that you can’t find any of these records on the store shelves.
VOLNA
We wrote about the first release by VOLNA earlier in our reviews.
Label VOLNA from Nizhny Novgorod sets a goal to join up people with the original and lush views at music. Perhaps, especial VOLNA sounding originated due to strong influence of surrounding social environment… or on the contrary- against it.
The idea of this music label was born a year ago, but now it became clear that time to realize this idea has finally come. In cause of appearing a lot of local musicians and label friends throughout the country VOLNA decided to integrate it all together. Also by the end of the year VOLNA produced its first limited release VOLNA1 – namely, it was twelve numbered and hand-painted tapes. VOLNA1 represents a collaboration of the the artists from the different places but with similar views on music, those who really appreciate actual raw house sounding.
С В Я З Ь
Связь represents the Belarusian music community and a non-profit label publishing music which is made mostly by the local artists. This music label is quite experimental, opened to talented musicians, and when it comes to the genre format, it has no limits in it. The main thing is that the original electronic music is in its priority. Label produces the tape compillations and promotes releases by friendly labels.
JAZZVE
Jazzve #tunesbymates is a Batumi/Moscow based record music label which performs house music and arranges nice events.
Jazzve (with the same emphasis) is a game with the word jazz. After all, jazz is focused on the dark matter and the energy of the sound that burst out, literally exploded in the early twentieth century, giving birth to a new universe of modern music. An attempt to understand this entropy of vibrations and groove, surfing on the crests of this unbridled expansion of sound waves is the main idea of this project.
About
New label VOLNA from Nizhny Novgorod sets a goal to join up people with the original and lush views at sounding of music. May be sounding like this achieves due to influence of the social environment or contrariwise – against to it. Anyway by the end of the year VOLNA was born and produced first limited release VOLNA1. We got twelve numbered and hand-painted tapes. VOLNA1 represents a collaboration by the artists with actual raw house sounding scattered to different places, but with the same views.
We talk with the VOLNA representatives in the way to get more information about its activities
The idea of a music label was born a year ago, but currently it became clear that time to realize this idea has come. In cause of appearing a lot of local musicians and friends throughout the country, we did’t want their music was spreading only in the Internet. We wanted to integrate it all together.
Recently, on November 25 label VOLNA was bring to life at party VOLNA Запуск on which has come local musicants (Low Tape, любишь, Salama, Night Caller, Tonel’, Kclogg) and producers from some other cities: Mounty from Saint-Petersburg and zzmln from Cheboksary.
Next event at December 23 will be with Хандра from Moscow. We have a good background in event managment, so we know how to do it and we are sure that events like this is an inherent part of our label. //VOLNA.
RUS: Идея лейбла возникла примерно год назад, но только сейчас стало понятно что уже пора его запускать. Появилось достаточное количество локальных музыкантов и друзей по стране, и не хотелось чтобы их музыка терялась в интернете – появилось большое желание всё это объединить. Не так давно, 25 ноября был запуск лейбла. К этому событию было приурочено мероприятие, на которое в Нижний Новгород мы привозили Mounty из Санкт-Петербурга и zzmln из Чебоксар с участием Low Tape, любишь, Salama, Night Caller, Tonel’, Kclogg. Следующая вечеринка состоится 23 декабря при участии Хандры из Москвы. Можно заметить, что у нас есть большой опыт в проведении различных мероприятий. И как мы считаем организация мероприятий очень важна и является неотъемлемой частью идеологии лейбла VOLNA. //original

18th feb 2017 WILSON RECORDS NIGHT
w/ FABIO MONESI, OL, LOW808, ELLIPSE, MICHURA, LOL123 (Наука и Искусство, Moscow, 105120)
A few days ago Moscow’s house lovers had the opportunity to hear Fabio Monesi’s live vinyl set during Wilson Records Night which held a place at NII (Sciense and Art). Welofi caught Fabio for a couple of words.
Your tracks have a quite specific sound and it’s so nice! We want to ask you about technical aspects: what kind of devices you prefer to use? Maybe you have your favourite one?
Talking about your label (name and logo), does it have some allegorical sense or you’re just a “Cast Away” film fan?
The formation of the musical taste is a very delicate and long-term process. Can you mark out figures, albums (of any genres), maybe specific party which made a great impact on you or which are very special to you?
Nowadays we observe that many musicians draw their attention to such things as analogue systems, vinyl, cassettes etc.. Do you think that musical trends have a cyclic character (like history for example)?
