Luck will have it that Zorz not only shared an astoundingly similar taste in music to Robbie and Chris, he also lived a stone’s throw away in Robbie’s barrio. Since then some cracking days, nights and mornings have been enjoyed together including a recent session for WE FORFEIT to try their luck on Zorz’s Creatures of the Night show hosted on Madrid’s very own.

The club can be a strange environment ::

The club can be a strange environment. One moment you are a coal mine with a mirrorball and strobe lights, the next it is the most inviting, friendly faces and comradery in every corner. It was during the latter that I met Zorz, DJ, member of Pi Electronics and all round music aficionado.

DJ Sneaker was playing here in Madrid and I bumped into lover of all things electronic and, as luck would have it, I had just done an interview with a very good friend of his, the boss of Pi Electronics.

Although we were all fairly bleary eyed after being out the night before at Ultradyne, we dusted ourselves down, ironed the shirts and made our way to the studio off Calle Atocha.

Thank you Zorz & Radio Relativa ::

The two hour set is opened by the host. Faced with a pair of turntables, CDJs and a rotary mixer, Zorz effortlessly makes his way through a spread of styles. Rich textured ambience, soulful techno, toughened EBM and otherworldly trips. Tracks come from far and wide including Crystal Maze on aDepth Audio, fellow countryman DimDj and the Mannequin mastermind Alessandro Adriani.

Robbie is up for the next forty five minutes. Homage is paid to many of the artists who have played in Madrid in the last two months (and there has been an incredible amount of quality on offer.) Ultradyne, Junq, Cignol, DMX Krew and Univac, all of whom graced the Spanish capital with sets between January and March are represented. Homegrown Iberian talent is well represented by Old Coroner (played at 45rpm to give it a bit of whack) on Waste Editions and Sweden’s Fishermen attacking their fellow countryman Celldöd on Madrid’s very own Femur. Darker moments come care of Tropical Goth’s Shredder while brighter spots from Bordello A Parigi’s always incandescent catalogue.

Chris closes the proceedings with a bubbling stew of darkened electronics, future-gazing funk and industrial ooze. New talent melts with dusty gems as record shelves are plundered for this cracking set. Grisly techno comes care of Rise Black before the uplifting Reflective Souls and moody tones of Farron on Forbidden Planet. Metal glints in the steely productions of Betek and Jensen Interceptor with angular softened by the legendary Bitstream and deep currents of Hodge on Berceuse Heroique. Chris closes with some red blooded bangers and late night warehouse classics.

Despite giving away a far bit in the above, we’ve decided not to provide a full tracklist (although we will on request.) ¡Enjoi!

Thanks again to Zorz and the guys at Radio Relativa, muchísimas gracias!
