The home of the legendary tracks (I saw what “Hold Back” and “A Funky Introduction” did with the people on the dancefloors, “legendary” is the exact and only word here) – Dungeon Meat is ready with its tenth release, hosting a housemaster Locklead here. We just covered his release on Vatos Locos – this one – to be brief – is just as good. But with a touch of “dungeonmeatness”… [continue reading at...https://trommelmusic.com/music/premiere/premiere-a1-locklead-b-leave-dmt010/]

Anything Brawther touches gets a warm welcome here at Trommel – you know it’s going to be a banger. So, when we heard about his new sublabel, Slabs, under the Dungeon Meat banner, we jumped on it.

A cornerstone of the Romanian community, Nu Zau has always been at the fore of the minimal movement within his highly influential domestic circles. Still, it is his work outside of his native land that has moved the sound forward and he has grown alongside it. As the Romanian strain of intricate, yet emotive minimal began to evolve into a more stripped form, Nu Zau and his co-founded UVAR imprint were at the vanguard. With a slew of solo productions in the works, Nu Zau’s aforementioned co-run label has also enjoyed the recent release of the 10 years of UVAR VA. Always looking to explore new grooves, and unearth old gems, this Bucharest artist stitches these collected moods together with a hypnotic swagger that is untouchable. [continue reading at...

Avid followers of Trommel will be very familiar with the works of Petre Ionut Valentin, also known as Lizz, this Romanian is a certified pillar of the minimal community. His solo work and combined efforts alongside long-term sparring partner Cosmjn are steeped in lore and for very good reason. A consistent force in the underground, his discography is an impressive snapshot of the most in-demand imprints in the business with standout releases for the likes of Melodrom, Rawax, Atipic, Playedby, and Dubøka Records. It also goes without saying that Petre remains an ever-present integral part of the Sunrise setup and can always be found igniting the dancefloors at Sunwaves, Electric Castle, 3 Smoked Olives, and the list goes on and on.

Few artists can lay claim to starting a party brand at Glastonbury, but Mella Dee is no ordinary artist. With his recently formed “Nothing Stays The Same” events are more like a call to arms than an extended dancing session. Mella’s parties feature OG selectors, much in the same vein as himself, they tread their own path and are a constant source of inspiration for their peers and fans alike. We have not even begun to discuss Mella Dee’s musical journey which has taken in a great many sonic influences that have seen him stop off at rave, techno, broken bass, and of course house music in all its groovy variants.

By now, OTIS and Paul Lution should be well-known names, and perhaps if you have not caught them performing in solo mode or collectively, then you will have undoubtedly caught some of their studio output in recent months. Being part of the Outcast Torino extended family, both artists have been in high demand and with their powerful audio creations speaking volumes at the moment this is surely only going to grow and grow. Collectively, this duo combine their love of electronics, dancefloor knowledge and even instruments to form an outrageous live act called Punky and The Brain. Perhaps the 90s cartoon reference may be lost on some, their madcap sets fuse electric guitar, live synths, and vocoded vocals into something akin to a rock performance rather than an electro pairing.

For those that do remember the cartoon from the mid 90s, the opening track from their InSessions recording is a timely reminder before they launch into the main section of their set. With their sound sitting in the sweet spot between Italo, nu school electro, acid, and breaks OTIS and Paul quickly move the gears in order to present their full spectrum in quick succession. With the pair performing in safety specs and white lab coats there is a clear case of style and substance, not just one over the other.

For the past 12 months, Lebanese artist and Fantôme de Nuit label founder Nesta has been a constant in the world music scene. Either via his own parties, guest performances around the globe, or his productions littering the finest labels, Nesta has covered a lot of ground. Nesta has of course been a driving force in the Middle East and Europe for much longer than that, with his label running for more than a decade now.

As well as his label, Nesta has also been responsible for throwing some of the finest parties around and for our next InSession edition we find Nesta in charge of the decks at his most recent party. Taking place at Berlin’s Hoppetosse, Nabih has hooked up with close friends of Trommel Melina and Jakob Seidensticker and their We R The Aliens label for a joint trip. In true Nesat fashion, he starts deep and shifts through the gears with ease. Moving through deep house to techier moods, but the magic occurs when he circles back to drop those sweet vocally curve balls that nobody sees coming. A cosmically soulful adventure, if ever there was one, that is the appeal of a Nesta set.

For the next instalment of our podcast series we welcome an artist in every sense of the word. Playing a pivotal part in the UK house and techno scene, Adam Shelton has built a reputation that, at its very core, has been built on an unwavering love for music across the board. From his co-founded genre-defining One Records imprint alongside Subb-an to his central role in Birmingham’s Below party series, Adam is a well-respected figure in the world underground music community. Adam’s journey as an artist has had many highlights along the way, and aside from this legacy, he counts his work being remixed by the likes of XDB and Akufen, remixing Craig Richards under his Scumdolly alias, as well as his work with Subb-an as SAS.

Hungarian collective Wedding Acid Group prove that three is the magic number with their heady productions that hit the sweet spot between techno, electro, trance, and of course acid. With regular appearances on Undersound Recordings that include their 2023 “Metro-303” long-player, they have even released a cassette through the imprint which features an extended live jam. Their musical output is certainly not confined to this excellent Undersound label as they have also released the extensive 2014 “Newpestian Adventures” LP on the sadly now-defunct Budapest label Farbwechsel.

Milanese artist and party promoter Vithz has been a driving force in the Milan underground for quite some time. His U Feel parties tread a fine line between the music and fashion world with en vogue bookings and off-the-wall vibes that have seen him welcome the likes of Quest, Dan Shake, and Dr. Banana. His reach is most definitely not limited to Milan as Vithz regularly hooks up with New York legends ReSolute where they co-run some of the finest parties in the city as well as his own soirees. 

Having more than a few strings to his bow, Vithz already has an enviable discography in the making. With unmissable outings on the likes of Maestropolis Records, Suena Hermosa, and Purism, Vithz is gaining serious traction in all the right spheres. 

True to the form set by his DJ sets and parties, for his InSession mix, Vithz keeps things interesting throughout. In full-on party mode from the beginning, the Italian selector ensures the vibe never drops and with a slew of classic oldies, bumpy Chicago thumpers, and a smattering of dirty bass action thrown in for good measure.

Korea’s music scene has been bubbling for some time, but it is in the process of exploding, largely thanks to the hard work of artists like Radio Revolution, a cornerstone resident DJ of his scene. The foresight and musical knowledge required for such a feat is one that Radio Revolution approaches with such methodical ease that it cannot help but transfer over to the overall aesthetic of the event, as well as its much lauded success. This deep understanding of the Korean scene and its place in the global community has allowed RR to develop his own legacy as well as helping domestic artists to emerge.

Barcelona-based artist Tunik, is a true master of synth-based music. So much so that the Argentinian is often one of the first artists that springs to mind when in need of a large dose of darkness. His productions and DJ sets speak to a higher power that sees his performances at the likes of Les Enfants Brillants, OUTPUT, and Razzmattaz in his adopted Barcelona, as well as a regular slew of the finest parties around the world. 

Being an in-demand artist doesn't stop Tunik from pursuing his own vision of electronic music. This was born in the shape of the Synth City project, and what followed was an evocative series of events at LEB. We are yet to even mention Tunik’s productions that only appear on labels that are at the vanguard of the underground. His longstanding connection to Dekmantel speaks volumes of the progression of his sound, as does his EP’s for Nicolas Lutz’ My Own Jupiter imprint and Further Electronix.

Tunik is without doubt a true force to be reckoned and we are thrilled to welcome him to our InSession podcast series. A self-confessed genre hopper, we are guided through a cosmic selection that all share an unspoken connection through the ethereal. Lush soundscapes soon give way to enticing breakbeats, mystic synths, and an unwavering groove that is as relentless as his own journey deep into the farthest reaches of his record bag. A sonic trip to truly induce a disconnect, we are certain that after one listen, you will be seeking out the Argentinian wherever possible.

It has been some time since Real Gang founding member Miller appeared on our mix series, but a lot has happened in those six years. Danny has gone through a huge period of growth in recent times, and his productions have been steadily reaching new audiences. This has come via a rocking release on Nervous Records’ new underground imprint _NRV, and while this stays true to his own sound, the New York brand offers a new generation of heads a link to Miller’s corner of the underground. These new directions are further bolstered by Miller’s unbreakable connection to some of the finest underground labels as well as regular outings on his own Real Gang imprint. 

As well as the undoubted successes enjoyed by his own productions, he has been spreading his love around by way of his widely lauded DJ sets, and these have been coming in regular stints at the likes of Pacha, Star Lane Pizza Bar, Little Fields Festival, Brich in Turin, and Duboka in Birmingham. Miller is now settled back in his beloved Ibiza, and he is now in the process of putting the finishing touches to his brand new club Tomadachi and from what we have heard about the project, this is going to change the game on The White Isle.

Moving on to Miller’s mix for our InSession, and this edition is a punchy swagger through the many sounds that he has at his disposal. Cropped minimal jams rub shoulders effortlessly with more garage-tinged sounds, while deep house classics appear momentarily before seguing into an unreleased bomb from the man himself. If you have caught Danny in action, you will know to expect the unexpected, and speaking of this recording for our series, he advises, “This is a live recording and that's how it's meant to be.”
