System Failure explores the work of the sound/art/activist collective Ultra-red that creates different model of engagement between participatory art, organizing and public pedagogy. Through sound and critical listening, Ultra-red’s work is found on the intersections of art, critique, politics and grassroots organizing/community making  and has been valuable and influential to bridging art and political organizing, de-centring curation practices, as well as the creation and theorization of ambient and listening as a political vehicle tied to local communities, spaces, places, histories and political demands. Their broader activist-artistic praxis includes electronic music, field recordings, interviews, video pieces, participatory sound installations etc Founded in 1994 by two AIDS activists, Ultra-red have over the years expanded to include artists, researchers and organizers from different social movements including the struggles of migration, anti-racism, participatory community development, and the politics of HIV/AIDS.

System Failure EP4 A tribute to Ultra-red and militant sound investigation

ÆSTR, France-based DJ & Producer, began her artistic journey in 2010, as Yshar : a professional dancer and musician in electro-world live projects.
Previously a bass player in a psyche-rock band in Paris, she then performed for Hadra Festival and toured across France and Europe.


In 2011, she began producing tracks as ÆSTR, driven by her love for industrial, ambient and techno music. She fused it with psytrance to create psytechno tracks. 
She began djing in 2017 in the french cradle of electronic music : Grenoble.


Now based in Lyon, she has established her DJ set signature : a strong foundation in Industrial Techno, enhanced by the harshness of rhythmic Noise, Dark Techno and the sexy groove of EBM. She creates an organic dialogue, punctuated by atmospheric vocals and metallic percussion. 
Her dance and music background allows her to create a mesmerizing, surprising and brutal experience. 
Playing with tension, emotions, ÆSTR’s sets are infused with revolt. 
She shared line-up with Ancient Methods, Crystal Geometry, and The Hacker for his curated event.


𐕣𐕣𐕣𐕣𐕣𐕣

This mix was crafted for the Shadow Warriors.

It speaks of ascending mutations emerging from chaos—rhythmic noise, industrial textures, cold and relentless techno beats.
It transforms triggers into thriving experiences. It learns.
It explores shadows from multiple dimensions.

Can one decipher what lies between the noises and the agitations?

Fear—only one step removed from love.
The veils are falling.
Perhaps Earth will boil again.
No beginning. No end.
Only awareness and presence.

@kyruhx

Continuing this season of white-hot CENTER BOOTH sets is Brooklyn's own KYRUH, a much-loved local talent with an ever-growing international fanbase.

Four years into her DJ career, KYRUH’s development as an artist is palpable. These days, the New York native commands crowds across North America and Europe with considerable confidence, in part from the myriad of experiences and opportunities that have come her way. She even got tapped to do a Kelela remix! 

Whether she's DJing at Brooklyn clubs such as Paragon (RIP), Bossa Nova Civic Club, Nowadays or BASEMENT (where she's practically a resident), further afield at RSO Berlin, Thuishaven, Renate and Khidi, sharing the decks with regular collaborator WTCHCRFT as Madness Of, or supporting the biggest names in techno including Jeff Mills, DJ Stingray 313, DJ Pierre and DVS1, KYRUH leaves a memorable impression with her distinctive and increasingly sophisticated style. She tends to play stormy and speedy, but with a fondness for groove and long blends, aiming to move hips and rinse minds at the same time.

Her CENTER BOOTH set exhibits all the markers of her growth, opening with a disorienting passage that sounds like a malfunctioning machine while keeping time with the beat. Next comes a rush of noteworthy transitions as tribal drumming gives way to hypnotic loops into horn-led beats. It's a mostly smooth but always compelling ride from there on in, dark but nimble, paced to perfection, and effectively designed to induce a trance-like state. Hit the link in bio for another standout set from one of techno's brightest talents.

TECH CLUBBERS PODCAST W/ KYRUH

KYRUH is a impact specialist forced in the crucible of modern NYC's notable spaces, including WIRE, Dweller and Bossa Nova Civic Club. Their sound is that of a DJ skilled at pressure without requiring shortcuts through obvious terrain, adept at hammering it without defaulting to speed alone. Her live sets are raw, hypnotic, and dripping with sex appeal.
The bubbly Brooklyn DJ/producer is breaking techno's austere norms to facilitate communal therapy on the dancefloor, while still carving out a space for the grittier edges of sound. 
Emerging from the city's DIY scenes, KYRUH's regular performances at BASEMENT NYC has steadily built a reputation in a space engineered for intensity and sonic immersion, offering something rare: techno that doesn't overwhelm, but purgatively envelops.
"For this guest mix - she's created a surrealist odyssey shaped by polymorphic techno, off-kilter soundscapes, and tribal rhythms."

KYRUH - Tech Clubbers Podcast #418

ÈBONY - Shades of Meridian [Turbo 251]
Stream & Buy - https://turborec.lnk.to/ShadesofMeridian

In the wake of their widely-acclaimed album Union, JUNO-nominated duo Èbony rematerialize on the dancefloor with the otherworldly Shades of Meridian EP, projecting a waking futurist dream haunted by echoes of Detroit techno, Chicago house, South African melodies, and the rich mythology of Ancient Toronto. 

Opener “Break My Skin explores a hidden pocket of after-hours techno space-time with an ethereal vocal by James Baley, leading into the tense, disembodied jack of “Forever.” Next, “Dull Side First” rides a spectral break through a sepulchral warehouse trip, “RIFT” invokes peak-time witchcraft, and closer “My Daylight” entrances even the most self-possessed sound-and-lighting guys to spam the smoke machine until reality itself is occluded. 

And to those who say that working with JUNO-nominated artists proves that Turbo is just a cog in the CanCon cabal, we would like to familiarize you with the facts: Canadian Tire refused to carry our 2023 Bryan Adams remix LP and we have rejected five separate demos from Justin Trudeau’s tech-house alias “Arabian Nights.” It’s called integrity — try looking it up sometime.

In Between Days w/ Ofra & Elina Tapio Last week we spent a lovely 2-hours together at the Operator container overcoming our foggy morning brains with caffeine, being astounded by the sheer size of the new CDJs, and most importantly sharing passionate talks about music! Our recording is up on the website for playback with a selection of tracks to lull you into an autumn mood, silly chats as entertaining interludes between the warm embrace of some of our long-standing favourites and recent discoveries!

@trailcam-music

Trailcam is the new moniker of Toronto-based artist Rita Mikhael, who up until recently had been releasing cutting-edge, club-driven explorations under the name E-Saggila for nearly a decade. Her new project made its debut with a stellar EP of dubbed-out downtempo cuts titled 'Drumlin Loop', which dropped on the influential Swedish label Northern Electronics in July of this year. Though we were initially mourning the shelving of her luminous E-Saggila project, 'Drumlin Loop' proved itself a worthy shift in direction. The sound is notably paired down, though perhaps evermore engaging, signaling a matured sense of palette and world-building that comes from her confidence in restraint. In that way, it shares kinship with some of the best of artists like Maurizio, Andy Stott, and Sandwell District.

Her set on this week's edition of CENTER BOOTH expands on the lush sounds of 'Drumlin Loop', several tracks from which appear here, although sped up slightly in order to weave themselves into the otherwise relaxed pace of a dub techno set. It's a divinely textural listening experience, both beautiful in its intricacy, and ominous in its tone. Soft, hissing noise and shimmering, dubby synths are undercut by thick, rumbling basslines, its unassuming pace belying the force of its rhythm. Here, Trailcam seems to find a home in her new sound, and we're beyond thrilled that she came by to share it with us.
