It’s always a real treat to hear fresh material from Efdemin, and his latest project looks set to be his most ambitious so far. The techno artist is currently prepping for the release of his Naïf mix, a blend between album and DJ mix that’s soon to drop on Curle Recordings.
Comprised of 29 unreleased tracks, Naïf features new material from the likes of Margaret Dygas, Tobias, Marco Shuttle, Jeroen Search, Steve Bicknell, Gunnar Haslam and Cassegrain, as well as 10 new cuts from Efdemin.
The tracks will also be spread across seven unmixed vinyl EPs—two on Curle, five on Efdemin’s newly revived Naïf—to be released throughout 2018.
Curle Recordings will release Naïf on April 13th, 2018.
Jeff Mills is nothing if not inventive. The Detroit artist has been more adventurous than anyone we can think of across his 35-year career, utilising an exhaustive blend of music, film and documentary to present techno at its richest. Heavily influenced by space travel and science fiction, his dense body of work is as inspirational as it is ground breaking, often referencing subjects like The Jungle Planet, One Man Spaceship and Time Machine. But in this colourful artistry Mills doesn’t belie the genre’s innate spirit: he’s also an exceptionally skilled DJ, and still flourishes with the talents he mastered as a young radio host.
For his latest endeavour Mills has returned to the radio format, exploring the far reaches of space on the NTS Radio broadcast The Outer Limits. Produced in collaboration with NASA, the six-part series is best described as a run of fictional stories, comprising electronic, classical and narrative from Mills and a string of guest musicians.
The first episode, which delves into the idea of the ‘black hole’, will air on Wednesday (January 17) at 2pm GMT, with each show set to be archived on the NTS website after it airs. This week’s episode will feature music by Mills as well as American pianist Kathleen Supové and British violinist Thomas Gould. Stream the show here; part two to be broadcast on March 14, following part three, four, five and six, in May, August, September and November 2018.

“The belly dance holy grail from the organ king of Cairo.”
Egyptian musician Hany Mehanna’s 1973 album The Miracles Of The Seven Dances is being released, via Radio Martiko this January.
Originally released in 1973 on Cairo label Sout El Hob, Mehanna’s solo LP explored far more left-field terrain than on his other collaborations and film scores.
Its 8 tracks mixed traditional rhythms with experimental organ freestyles, guitar grooves and hypnotic strings.
