Welcoming Barcelona's EYRA to the 909 series with a glorious, summery mix that channels the fever dream that is summer in the city whilst also channeling the varying soundscapes you can find at his POLYGLOT party. It's a pretty unique mix for the series as EYRA recorded straight from his CDJ onto a cassette to give it this raw and nostalgic feel.

EYRA is the creative outlet for Oliver Pereira’s leftfield-leaning, dancefloor focused productions. Born in the UK, the Barcelona based artist’s sound is rooted in bass heavy British music culture, however his style is forward thinking, adventurous and inventive throughout. Over the last few years, EYRA has released on the likes of Accidental Meetings and Abundance as well as a self-released EP, 'Voices Pt. 1', earlier this year. Outside of his productions, EYRA co-runs the POLYGLOT party series with his friend muck which was launched just over a year ago to provide an open and accessible space of great music and build a community with it. I was lucky enough to be in Barcelona at the time of POLYGLOT last March which was early in their formation and you could already feel that really sick community feel at the party where everyone was there for the love of music. So far they've booked the likes of Soft Chaos, DJ SOSA RD, Adrasha, i-sha, Mani Tapes and more. EYRA is also involved in the local creative collective Abundance. Get to know!

Untitled 909 Podcast 201: EYRA

A Walking Contradiction welcomes Sciama to the fold and adds another full EP of oscillating rhythm workouts to the catalogue. AWC009 densely packs fast moving, ultra focused soundtrips. From breathtaking drone scapes to wiggly high-paced rhythm experiments, all sublimely sound designed with a focus on the low ends.

Sciama's soundscapes are accompanied by an essay of writer and researcher Asia Bazdyrieva. Pixels densely packed*** expands on the contemporary media surrounds that wrap and entrap us. A constant stream of images and sounds of atrocities and genocidal violence transforms into an anaesthetising haze, ever present and indispensable, yet easily ignored.

Scant presents Vitiate for Psychic Liberation. After nearly two decades of singular output in solo, collaborative, and curatorial capacities throughout the United States Scant arrives with his most pointed recorded material to date. As a stalwart of the 2000’s noise culture architecture along the eastern United States, Scant’s artistry has pressurized listening environments from gutters to theaters. As Scant, Matthew Boettke has stretched temporal capacities and initiated enveloping sonic experiences where volume is a physical meditative body. With Vitiate, through three recorded passages Scant trades the caustic frontal walls of aural stasis of his previous output for masterfully surgical digital synthesis of an utmost minimalist caliber. Of the process around cultivation of the recording, Boettke notes:

“VITIATE was recorded throughout the final days inside Apartment 202*. A reflection on cherished moments that soured, this is an attempt to immortalize and eradicate a core identity. Comfort betrays exclusively, familiarity breeds only weakness. What we are compelled to reach towards forever pushes back.”

Where so much of the contemporary discussion around Ambient music takes on an ecclesiastical bend, or a modal vocabulary that turns towards the hopeful, Vitiate operates in the dirge and dramatics of the deflated. Vitiate wraps you inside of it’s subtle modulations and tonal turns, but inside that reverberant embrace one sits dissociative and hollowed. This is not an album for the positive moment of Reverie, but for a reflection on inevitable stasis.

Scant is the alias of experimental musician Matt Boettke based out of New York City. He is a founding member of Thousands of Dead Gods, a record label in Brooklyn which previously operated a cassette focused record store from 2017-2022. Through his work as Scant he has produced over 30 limited edition tapes and CDs for American underground labels such as Chondritic Sound and Monorail Trespassing, while self-releasing through the Dead Gods imprint. Apart from solo recordings he has contributed to extensive collaborations with Justin Lakes (Shredded Nerve/Dead Gods), Stefan Aune (New Forces), Rodger Stella, and Nick Klein amongst others. As a curator, Boettke has been instrumental to the organization of several DIY experimental music festivals including Avant Fairfax and RVA Noise Fest in Virginia, and Summer Scum in New York.

This album is dedicated  to Bemma Bar as much as to any place we create to play and learn about new music, nurture community ties and host each other. Without a club infrastructure, there is no live music and without live music, an important aspect of social life disappears. We need a new cultural policy that responds to the problem of the vanishing of non-commercial spaces. We need somewhere to create and cultivate our culture.

Four Guitar Solos For Bemma Bar

Hubert Kostkiewicz - Guitar Solo 1 / POINT#58

What happens when dubby drum & bass meets Dischord’s post-punk colossus Black Eyes? “Break” is the new EP from NY’s Relaxer, the long running alias of Daniel Martin-McCormick (Black Eyes, Ital and co-founder of Dripping), and it signals a decisive shift in his music.

Prompted by friends to write a drum & bass live set just as Black Eyes was reuniting, the results didn’t quite fit the d&b genre. But it felt right. Quick, nimble, with room for the ferocity of his favorite post punk and some of the spaciousness of dub. Evergreen vibes, really, but seen from a fresh perspective.

Honed over a period of two years, the five tracks on “Break” fuse Relaxer’s careening, technoid sounds with free jazz-tinted drum programming, snarling sound design and spacious echo trails. It’s a perfect fit for 29 Speedway’s future-facing, exploratory anti-genre approach to electronics. The tape features two remixes by the singular DJ Marcelle and mastering by Dubplates & Mastering. Daniel tells his side of the story below:

“Two years ago my friends who run the drum ‘n’ bass party Headznite asked me to write a live set for a Ukraine fundraiser they were putting on. Right at the same time, my punk band Black Eyes was having our first practices in 20 years, which meant I was re-training my body to scream at top volume and high registers and to lay into my guitar at full force. In those same months, Dripping was forming and ideas were flying for crazy, boundary-pushing lineups. I had just finished writing the meditative composition suite “In Softening Air” and was feeling the call; it was time to let it rip.

Everything poured into that live set for Headznite, and a new style was born. Relaxer had begun as a decisively techno project, but pushing the BPMs and working in drum breaks tweaked the formula enough to cut any lingering ties with that ethos.

Over the next two years I kept on it, writing more, recording, pushing the technique and exploring the sound. “Break” is the first time any of this work has been made public. Sometimes a detour can hack your brain. My first dance 12” as Ital was supposed to be a one-off side project to my punk band and it ended up taking over my life. Now punk music is calling asking for the debt to be repaid. Fuck it.”

The third chapter in discjockeymatt’s saga, vol.3 is a seismic leap forward—both in ambition and execution. Building on the raw energy of the previous volumes, this release dives deeper into elemental techno, where sound becomes substance and rhythm becomes ritual.

Compared to its predecessors, vol.3 is a masterclass in techno evolution. The mix is tighter, the transitions sharper, and the sound design more immersive. It’s not just another installment—it’s a statement. Discjockeymatt has leveled up, and the results are undeniable.

Whether you're deep in the underground or just discovering the pulse of techno, vol.3 is a journey worth taking—raw, refined, and relentlessly forward-moving.
