MODESELEKTOR

 
Modeselektor
Wildly diverse, infused with exuberance and inspired by a slap of the absurd, Modeselektor’s inarguable grooves seem to emanate from every conceivable musical genre, creating a controlled chaos whose sonic expression elevates the eyebrows and heartbeats of critics and dance floors around the world.‘Boundary breaking’ is a phrase that today almost every artist wants to claim, however Modeselektor’s description as such does not come as an afterthought or marketing ploy. The idea of breaking boundaries permeates their music because this dissolution of cultural borders is ingrained in their very identities.

  
Bok Bok
Of all the figures in the post-dubstep diaspora, few have been as instrumental as Bok Bok. As most readers of XLR8R probably know, the London-based producer/DJ is also the co-founder of the Night Slugs imprint, which has quickly established itself at the top of the heap when it comes to the forward-thinking house and bass music that continues to spring forth from the UK's long-running hardcore continuum. His place in the canon of UK dance music aside, it's worth mentioning that Bok Bok (a.k.a. Alex Sushon) is also a highly skilled DJ who is just as likely to pull out a classic house or grime tune as he is a futuristic dubplate. As such, we've been hounding him for the past year to put together an exclusive mix for the XLR8R podcast, and he's come through in fine style, littering his mix with unheard gems from Night Slugs brethren (Girl Unit, Jam City, Optimum), fellow UK heavy hitters (Geeneus, Ikonika, Untold, Terror Danjah), and a few unexpected jams that still go down smooth—after all, it's hard to argue with kwaito, Dam-Funk, or Azari & III in any mix.
 
An-Ten-Nae
Dust storms and bio-diesel generators vibrating amongst a haze of awe, exaltation, celebration and emotion, bass blasts out of a mutant vehicle set up at ‘no-where in particular’, roughly lining up between 3.15 and ‘The Man’ and near the snake sculpture, a crowd moshes and bounces to bass-driven, crunk mutations of something that must be dance music, by the fact that people are clearly dancing to it.
 
An-ten-nae has used his musical vision to influence the San Francisco nightlife scene for more than a decade and resulting in him revitalizing super-club 1015 over the past 3 years and more recently launching a broader production company that produces some of the most dynamic nightlife events in the San Francisco Bay Area.
