End of Summer update from A.E.R. HQ......

Hello all, hope this finds you well. As summer tails off, a sense of nostalgia prevails, casting the mind's eye back over the last few months. It's been a good one. Dare i say it, but I am looking forward to the winter, knuckling down in the studio when time allows and feeling the frost underfoot. It's a productive time of year here at A.E.R. HQ!...


Just a little update to let you know what's forthcoming from our camp.
Been a good year so far, lot's of interesting moments in the studio and a long outdoor summer.. A highlight being Steevio and Suzybee's Freerotation festival nestled in the hills of the wye-valley on the English / Welsh borders holding some special summer memories. Shout's out to crew - Emily + Tom, Grimes, Steevio / Suzybee, Kirk, Alex Downey, Kosta, Gal, Jordash, Bishop X, Lucy C, Jane Fitz, Lerato and Jus ' Ed... Be sure to check this festy out next year if your looking for a House/Techno Utopia!


AER03 is currently under construction, featuring contributions from several people who we are keeping under wraps here at A.E.R. HQ! It must be said that this will be a serious treat for all lovers of the sounds, a varied pallette of honest music will be on the menu, due to drop later in the year, check back for more info....


                                            




Next up from myself is a release on London Deep House label "Ornate Music" this october. 12" vinyl release with digital to follow... The E.P. is titled " The Astrobiological Funk EP" containing within 3 tracks - "Interplanetary Visitors", "Bounce Theory" and "Twilight"... This Deep House 3 tracker is shaping up to do the rounds and is currently going out on promo. 




             




Following this into the winter is a release penned for Kirk Degiorgio's legendary 
'Applied Rhythmic Technology' imprint (A.R.T.). It's a 4 tracker, with the names "Transmission"and "Zeta" and 
"We Stand United I + We Stand United II". Really looking forward to this release. I feel it a real honour to be invited to release on this imprint, one of my favourite labels of all time... Been working closely with Kirk to bring this to you, so I hope you enjoy the Techno flavours on this one, been itching to get some of the darker side of the mind out there...... Due to drop in november on 12" / Digital...



                                                             






Keith and I are looking at releasing an EP on his Aesthetic Audio Imprint next year, the follow up to 
"The Sounds Of The Abyss EP".. Featuring a track called "Clear Vision" which awaits release,
actual date yet to be confirmed. Brother Worthy is currently working on material to contribute to AER03
so keep your eyes peeled for more info on this project...




                                                      


Hope you get to check out the forthcoming sounds. I'll hopefully be dropping some material out & about at a gig near you soon. Thanks for checking out the news, take care people..... A.E.R.

Miles Sagnia - The Ergonomix - Dj Mix June '10

Miles Sagnia - The Ergonomix - June '10 by atmosphericexistence

First up, i'm not in the habit of speaking up publicly, but I feel I have something to say...
Since I started out playing records 16 years ago, I have become increasingly frustrated by the lack of respect for our dance music heritage & artistry output In this increasingly naive era of disposable music, where tracks stay in people's record bags (or should i say laptops) for a nanosecond before being ruthlessly sidelined for 'newer, fresh' material. I've always tried to play music that speaks to me. A lot of new stuff does get in the bag, there is always great fresh music out there somewhere but I also find that I i'm continually drawn back to various cuts due to their continual aural radiance and integrity. These are the sort of records that connect with my mind... even if I have heard them many times before..
I hope people out there get where i'm coming from before passing judgement.... As it seems to me that what we are all presented with now is one big ego ball of media driven competitiveness. This saddens me. Where is the love?...
I believe really knowing every moment in a record allows one to fully harness the dancefloor and the mind of it's occupants by delivering music in a way that goes far beyond words... Favouring quality timeless music regardless of age or release date, rather than 'quick fix' records is the way things roll over here.
For all those DJ's out there with no musical integrity, I urge you to dig a little deeper in your quest and search out timeless music, never mind the 'genre'. Leave those ego's at the door and come soak up the flavours because at the end of the day, it really is all about the music.... So with that in mind I hope you enjoy the journey here, an honest, straight up mix from the soul....... Miles
