ELECTRONIC EXPLORATIONS 206: Forward Strategy Group

“Our mixes tend to be quite eclectic, initially we played a lot of really hard 90s techno, a lot of downwards, surgeon, missile records, re-load etc and Al (smear) would often throw in a lot of slowed down doomcore & noise.

I think we’ve began to play a bit more across the board now, and this mix is quite a good representation of the third entity we tend to think of as being Forward Strategy Group, it builds from very terse and functional Germanic techno through some more quirky US flavours and winds up with the sort of sound typified by old favourites of ours: Orphx; very uncompromising and highly experimental broken rhythms.

The mix was created entirely in ableton, with bare bones processing (normally EQ and compression to emulate an SSL or Neve environment.) a lot of this material isn’t available on vinyl at time of recording, so we went with the format that best allowed us to present new music.”

Vakula - Resident Advisor (RA.311)

Devastating deep house from Ukraine.

Mikhaylo Vityk’s track titles—”Deep Deep Down,” “T H E O Son” and “Gospel Keyboards”—alone would tell you plenty about his approach to house music. As Vedomir, V and, most often, Vakula, Vityk has mined further and more thoroughly into classic US house tropes than anyone in recent memory. Vityk differs from the usual European aping of Detroit and Chicago in two key ways, however. Firstly, he’s incredibly prolific. A staggering volume of 12-inches for labels like Firecracker, Dekmantel and Shevchenko over the last few years betray an unwavering commitment and deep-seated comprehension of the style. The other point is a question of embellishment. Sure, much of his work could pass as a forgotten Moodymann standard, but whether it’s his often hip-hop length tracks, the ambush of an organ sample or simply just something a bit weird, Vakula’s tracks almost always come imbued with a sense of the unexpected.

If Vakula’s RA podcast sounds incredibly cohesive that’s because it’s comprised exclusively of his own material, most of which is either unreleased or forthcoming. [interview here]
