FOLD Invites Craigie Knowes
Craigie Knowes is more than just a record label; it’s a living, breathing organism.
From tales of shunning “serious” protocol to the endless challenges of hunting down old gems to repress, we sat down with Max and Mitch to find out more. Speaking on how they find the humour in their mistakes, their advice for labels facing vinyl pressing delays and expanding upon the significance behind their accompanying mix, they provided a techno-based offering that examines the genre's development from the 80s all the way into the current day.
FOLD INVITES Mercury 200
Mercury 200 know all too well the power of anonymity.
With their newest EP 'Schnell und Verrückt' out now via our very own FOLD Records, we spoke to them about returning to the new normal, their recent creative processes, and how they refuse to be validated by anyone other than themselves.
FOLD Invites [KRTM]
[KRTM] finds comfort in the chaos.
With a second full-length album dropping on 26th April on ARTS, and accompanied by a painstakingly-created film (already live via Hate Magazine), Casimir put together an exclusive mix exploring his earlier material.
He also took the time to share the story behind this new album, how his discography has evolved over the years, and why the meaning behind his music is far simpler than most would assume.
FOLD Invites Svreca
Svreca does it his own way.
For the next interview in our FOLD INVITES series, Enrique Mena spoke candidly about his label Semantica Records’ 15-year milestone and his thoughts on the direction of the musical landscape.
For his accompanying mix, he provided us with an exclusive archival set, recorded live at Chiba in Japan in 2014.
FOLD Invites Bas Mooy
From our archives, we present an interview and exclusive mix from Bas Mooy on the FOLD website. Originally composed at the start of the pandemic, this one-to-one with Mord’s boss offers an insight into the mind of the Rotterdam native.
Speaking from his home about life in lockdown, his recently narrowed focus and more, Bas gives his own unique thoughts on the musical landscape that shows hope for the future, as well as some supportive advice for those also involved in our community.
FOLD Invites Kerrie (Live Set) + Interview
From almost a decade of working at Eastern Bloc in Manchester to delivering a tough edge on techno, electro and acid, Kerrie is a DJ with a universal focus on electronic music.
Quickly expanding her capabilities into performing live, the Irish native sat down with FOLD to chat about her creative journey and her lockdown discoveries - as well as presenting us with a studio recording of her newest live set concept.
FOLD Invites Claudio PRC + Interview
Claudio PRC is a favourite amongst the entire team at FOLD. As the first DJ playing at the Semantica Records night Claudio set the perfect tone for our early dancers and the following sets from his label mates. From listening to this set you can clearly hear the passion Claudio instills into his track selection and blending. We relish the opportunity to allow DJ's like Claudio to comfortably perform exactly the way they want.
Accompanying this mix, our in-house journalist, Smoki, posed some questions to Claudio on his approach to warming up a dance-floor.
We hope you enjoy what you read and hear.
