fabric Promo Mix

Felipe Venegas is a Chilean musician/DJ and Producer who sits neatly on the branches of Cadenzas family tree. While studying classical music and theory at university in Santiago, Felipe escaped during weekends to the darkness of the clubs where everyone from Ricardo, Luciano, and Dandy Jack were all channeling a new culture of sound. Bursting with energy, excitement, and invention, he took his Latin heritage to the next level through the hybrid form of house and techno catching the attention of Cadenza boss Luciano who has gone on to release a slew of releases from him.

Felipe first arrived in Farringdon two years ago to play to an intimate Room Three crowd and next Saturday he’ll be making his Room One debut live, next to Terry Francis and Romanian techno royals Rhadoo and Cezar. Read on as he introduces us to his Latin background, Chile’s club scene, his label Drumma Records and his new projects coming on Cadenza. Complex rhythms arise in this special fabric mix he’s presented to us and you can work them out for yourself below.

Last week we spoke to No.19 co-founder Nitin to get a true insight into the Toronto-based label making its way for a Room One special this Saturday. In his education to us about the ethos of the label and the major players involved, he grabbed our attention and struck a chord with us on the striking talents of multi-instrumentalist Derrick Boyd aka Dead Seal, or as Nitin and the rest of us know him, Tone Of Arc.

The San Francisco producer is one of the newer artists to grace the label, with his appearance at Mexico's BPM festival in January being hailed as a radically unhinged performance of undulating vocals and bassline sting setting music tongues wagging for Tone Of Arc as the one to watch this year. Since then he’s gone on to release on No.19 with his partner/vocalist Zoe Presnick on the debut ‘Shaking The Sky EP’ and as Nitin told us recently, there’s some very exciting new projects on the way soon.

With influences coined as Depeche Mode, Caribou and David Bowie, Tone Of Arc is a relentless live performer and ahead of Saturday he's delivered us a brooding house and techno mix which you can download below.
