This week’s podcast is an hour of minimal techno from Dumb Unit boss Jeremy P. Caulfield.
JPC is a Canadian DJ, producer and record exec who runs Dumb-Unit Records with his partner Ingo Gansera of Exercise One. His record label has a philosophy of focusing on new talent – recently he’s released 12”s by the likes of Butane, Sweet N Candy, Sarah Goldfarb and Lee Curtiss – but Caulfield himself has been in the game a long time – he was making this music in his hometown of Toronto long before minimal became a buzzword. We know, we’ve heard those mid-nineties tapes!
As a DJ, Caulfield operates out of Berlin these days, spending his weekends spinning around Europe in clubs such as Watergate, Harry Klein and Studio 88. This year he’s also issued the latest volume in his long-running ‘Detached’ mix CD series, which like his RA podcast, focuses on the dark and stalking end of minimal techno.
