Motto Disco 19: STEPPUBLISHER Watt Chapter 2 – mafmadmaf @ Motto Berlin

Watt Chapter presents a mix from mafmadmaf, published on the occasion of the exhibition STEPPUBLISHER organized by Ho King Man, at Motto Berlin.

In the autumn of 2022, I interviewed Ming Gor, a blind artist of Cantonese Dishui Naamyam (Southern Tunes). During our nearly two-hour conversation, Ming Gor performed several traditional lines of Naamyam, such as “Wanderer’s Autumn Grief” and “Baoyu Paying His Last Respects to Daiyu”. Afterwards, I created this composition by improvising with a synthesizer and piano, mixed with other related field recordings.

2022年秋天，我採訪廣東地水南音瞽師明哥。在我們近2小時的交流中，明哥展示了幾個南音傳統段落，如《客途秋恨》《祭瀟湘》等。其後，我使用合成器和鋼琴即興，混合著另一些相關的田野錄音創作了這個作品。

Motto Disco 08: Sully

Long before the UK garage revival kicked in and “future” garage had even been dreamt up, Sully began finding a space between 2step’s swing, dubstep’s edge and breakstep’s drums, all underpinned by the rude spirit of jungle. While he has preferred to keep a relatively low profile and remain around the peripheries of the quick hype, quick decay climate of the burgeoning bass music scene, his music has found a sense of permanence, the longevity of which speaks volumes of his talent.

His debut album, Carrier, is out now on Martin Clark’s Keysound Recordings.

ABOUT MOTTO DISCO:

When we first moved to Berlin in summer 2008, we imagined many things were ahead of us. In December 2011, Motto Berlin has turned three years, and to celebrate this we’ve asked friends, collaborators and people we admire to put together mixtapes with the idea that they should be played within the context of Bookstores.

Stay tuned as this is the start of a collection of unexpected and versatile encounters.

Enjoy!
