===================================

We asked Vermont a few questions:

Where and how was this mix recorded?

The set was recorded in my living room. I used two turntables, a MacBook laptop with Serato installed and a Vestax PMC-250. I think they no longer make this mixer It's designed like an old House-Music mixer. The physical approach was absolutely old school with no editing whatsoever.


What's the idea behind this mix? Is there any special moment in it for you?

I aimed at selecting tracks which are beyond this or that fashion. And I hope this set won't sound too out of date even in a few years. Most of today's electronic music has a very short life span and it tends to become irrelevant in record times. On the other hand a set comprised of classics only won't be interesting at all. With many treasures re-released digitally finding the true gems people don't know or forgot is only a matter of patience and time to go through catalogs.
I don't really like recording music at home and I don't do this often or at all. It's a bit strange playing music with no crowd and facing a wall. My original plan was to create a completely different set than the one I finally made but I lost the disk with all my files so instead I used the best of what I had in backed up. Once I started enjoying myself I just went with the flow and ended up with this set.
While recording I made some pasta with meat ball and tomato sauce (and also had a much needed cold beer). It's really hard playing seriously in my living room. There's isn't much room for the mixer and there are loads of acoustic issues, so I end up guessing where the bit is.
The other set was recorded because I felt that it's a niche where I can expose the Israel-Underground community to stuff they just don't know.
The moment I love most is the mix going from Hood to Mills and Rolando.

What musical genres can we expect to find in your sets (not just this one)?

I know many people tend to say this but I really love to mix many genres, and also to step out of the clubbing sphere or even the electronic sphere. Listening to various sets of mine you can end up listening to 80's electronic music, Detroid techno, Dub Techno, Chicago House, Italo, old school Breaks, fluffy D'n'B, a little bit Dubstep and even Krautrock, movie soundtracks, Drone, Post Rock, Feedback music and of course Stoner.

Vinyls, CD's or MP3's?

I completely moved to the digital format. I see no reason to fiddle with problematic CDs or Vinyl. I understand people who love the ancient format of vinyl, which keeps on dying for so many years but never goes all the way, but I have to admit that all my vinyls were moved to my mother's place because I had no room for them.

Tell us about the plans for your label "False Industries" as well as other labels you're involved with (such as the Japanese "Spekk".

False Industries was started in order to go against current trends. There aren’t any big plans for it but to release music that I like and phased out almost completely. Most of the artists are my friends and most of them are veteran producers I appreciate. Some of the artists are Berlin-based Dieb, Ulrich Schnauss, Paul Davis, Frank Bretschneider, the Raster-Noton label owner and more.
I hope to soon open another label that will deal with more acoustic and rockish sides of alternative music.
As for Spekk, I'm currently working on another album that will hopefully be released there. It's such a pleasure working with Spekk's owner. He's one of the most professional people I've met in the scene. I also sometimes release my music with the German label Freizeit Globen. The label owner there is a great man who keeps the "good ol' days" vibe.



Where do you believe the IDM genre is heading? Do you think it's getting enough exposure in the world of electronic music?

The genre is quite dead actually, or if I need to be more precise it lost its liveliness and that one of the reasons why I'm moving to acoustic musical instruments and electric bass. The bright side of the story is that many IDM producers moved to different genres, so it's still possible to find great contemplative music, only with some more search than before.
As for exposure, when the content is harder to understand it's naturally aimed at fewer people. Whoever does that as a rule can't complain about "too little exposure".

How did you get to IU and what does it mean to you?

I reached IU a long time ago around 2001. At the time I wrote for a music related paper and got this mission to write about communities focused around electronic music. One of the old IU members gave me the address and I got in. For many years I only read and then started writing as well. Sometimes I love it there but sometimes there are posts that can get you angry. All in all it's a blessed project.

You're one of the founders of the almost legendary "Exercise" parties in Tel-Aviv. Is there a chance to do some more "Exercise" in the future? Can you point at your favorite "Exercise" of all?

It's hard to say. I'm currently in a different stage in my life, and I can't see myself committing to a party line the way I used to. But then again, it could be really nice doing this "back to the future Exercise" or something like that. Of all Exercises I liked the Sebo K party, which was absolutely crazy. He played one of THE best sets there. The party with Ben Klock was very fun as well.

Imagine yourself 10 years from now and tell all us about it.

It's hard to think of ten years from now. I think I'd like to keep on releasing music, study history and find a job that doesn't take much time but makes a lot of money.

"In past life I was probably a _______"?

An alchemist.
