Second, I need new music, because I’ve been listening to the same old-school house music since 10th grade, and the same techno from college. OTTENBERG: There are two main reasons I do Club Mel. OTTENBERG: So, Scandinavia is where the hot techno is coming from. Basically anywhere in Scandinavia is big for me, especially Copenhagen and Malmo. There’s also this group of kids coming out of Malmo, Sweden, that makes really fast, hard, trippy, techno. DJ IBON, a DJ and producer, is up there for me. A friend of mine named Schacke, who played a foundational role in establishing the Copenhagen/Scandinavian sound, is the blueprint for me. OTTENBERG: Who are the techno gods for you? When I step back up to play something, I want to approach it in a fresh way. That’s where my ear is right now, using another genre to learn about my genre, instead of just pounding my ear off with techno. I just started to take piano lessons two weeks ago. Maybe I’m a bit drained musically, or techno-wise, but I’m just going classical these days. I’ve played been playing basically for the past six weeks straight, which is way too much. OTTENBERG: So, what are we into these days? What kind of music are we into right now? What’s the vibe? OTTENBERG: I have been more than trying it. I just want to tell you that it’s a great mix for fucking. OTTENBERG: And now, you’ve done an amazing mix for Club Mel. It was a really special night, on that rooftop.
And when we met, you were sitting on the cooler that contained the single bottle of water that all 800 people there wanted. TT: I’m sure I played an inspiring set, and that explained the bitchiness. You were getting me in rare form that night. You were bitchy and you gave me all this attitude, and I was like, “Thank god I’m at a party with techno blasting and this stranger is giving me attitude. I snapped ONE night and went out, ONCE, and we met.
MEL OTTENBERG: Wait, this is the first time that a Club Mel’s been done at Club Mel, so welcome to Club Mel, TT. TT also came over to Club Mel for an IRL glass of water and a ki. This week on Club Mel, we have New York’s new techno legend TT Britt dropping a really hot new techno mix which is great for jogging, partying, fucking, dancing, or just simple techno-appreciating. Welcome to Club Mel, a semi-regular column by our Editor-In-Chief Mel Ottenberg.
