On the 30th May, we return to Dance Tunnel (Dalston) for our second, I Wanna See All My Friends At Once party. This time with time we have invited Dutch wonder kid Frits Wentink. Having witnessed him play at our ADE party in October we are very excited to welcome him for his London debut.

BAL003 A1 Billy Ray De La Haye - Nightshift

4 Club Use Only (L.I.E.S. 015)

The third and final instalment in Frits' 'Two Bar House Music & Chord Stuff' sees him continue to showcase his distinct style of lo-fi, wonky house - both quirky & unconventional, yet instantly endearing in the same breath.

Served up first in Frits' melting pot, 'Theme 09' kicks things off with a shuffling, UKG esque rhythm and RnB flexed vocal snippets, alongside floaty arps and that 'chord stuff' that swells and stabs in the mix. Throw in a weighty bass and Frits' trademark analogue wonkiness and you've got a prime example of a Wentink wobbler. Next up, 'Theme 10' hits you with an organ melody reminiscent of a warped Crystal Waters, before twisting and turning into an edgy off-kilter house track. A glitchy synth line, bouncing bass and dreamy pads will hook you till the end.

Flip it and 'Theme 11' offers up a chuggier affair where glistening arps are interspersed with squelchy and sustained synths. Elements and effects are combined throughout, mesmerising you with a glimpse into the wonky world of the Frits'. Closing it out Wentink leaves you with a quirky club stomper, coupling a gritty bassline, saturated loops and off kilter, lo-fi stabs all tied together with a driving kick.

Across this 3-part series Frits' has left the fancy titles at the door, letting the music do the talking and demonstrating his penchant for making interesting, engaging and distinctive house music…. not your average two bar house music and chord stuff.

Frits Wentink Theme 12

Artist: Delta Rain Dance
Title: Trancemission/Transmission
Catalogue Number: DELTA1
Label: Delta Rain Dance
www.deltaraindance.com

Trancemission over; Transmission begins. Delta Rain Dance is an
experimental artist and label project delving into contemplative, and
melancholic states, with a record that blissfully glides between
ambient, and delicate-percussive, electronic states. A hybrid puzzle
of melodic cuts, DJ tools and drum tracks, that can be mixed together
to create new amalgamations of the source material.

'Trancemission/Transmission’ showcases a musical narrative that
transcends genres and moods, switching between flashes of dubbed
techno, abstract percussive electronica, and stark downtempo vibes.
'Trancemission/Transmission’ is a record structured around
progressions, heavy on sound design and imagination. It takes the
listener into different astral planes, from tranquil moments of
temperate melodies, to off-kilter periods of electro. Ghostly radio
transmissions, dubbed out Rhodes, underwater frequencies, and
broadcasts from beyond the digital ether. It is a modern take on
'Music for Airports', albeit written for a post-millennial audience,
one that grew up on Dilla, Vatican Shadow, Grouper and Digital
Mystikz. Drum tracks, locked grooves, and sparse sketches of melody
and reverb soaked harmonies. Delta Rain Dance has produced a body of
work that exists in two halves; the trancemissions operating as
celestial, ambient skits; moments of dreamlike serenity, while on the
flip, carefully programmed beats infer moments of Detroit, dubstep,
and IDM, gently providing the framework to the album’s intricate,
grainy basslines, and saturated overtones. The two halves of the
record can be mixed together, and like a puzzle that needs to be
solved, tracks fit together perfectly, creating an interactive
musical game, in which the DJ can create new sonic interpretations of
the album.

We're thrilled to share a new mix from @hollick_nobaddays !

"Music for Water is an idea I’ve had for sometime now. Since going to the local pool a lot more recently, I’ve come to realize how much water calms me. All songs selected have the theme of water running through them. Whether you’re heading to the pool, watering your plants, or just need a cool down - let the music wash over you, take the dip."

Hollick is a London DJ who works with No Bad Days, YAM Records, and Coastal Haze.

nthng is back with an introspective blend of atmospheric techno and ethereal magic. A three-track slab of undeniably profound wax.  

'Sighting Of An Angel' encompasses a dark cavernous blend of heaving pads and crackling surface tension layered with growing whispers of hope. 

'Neo' builds from a deep, brooding techno sensation carefully combining beading snares that form the foundations of a thumping warehouse spectacle.

The B-side showcases the EP title's 'Microdose'. An electrifying, pressure cooker filled with microscopic particles of cosmic magnificence ready to disperse on all dancefloors.

DC Promo Tracks #385: "Words Between Self" by Air Space Ark is part of the release "All Rivers Lead" on Moonshoe @moonshoerecords  

Buy Now: https://moonshoerecords.bandcamp.com/album/all-rivers-lead

Air Space Ark’s debut, “All Rivers Lead” charts the course of divergent streams of contemporary ambient music, downtempo rhythms, and electroacoustic experimentation, arriving at a calming confluence of these sources. Across the 6 songs on these two sides, they evoke a calming and contemplative headspace

The celestial keys, flute-like thrums and gentle chimes of WORDS BETWEEN SELF evoke the golden age of spiritual jazz, but the hazy ambiance and shuffling beats transmute the other elements around them into something more introspective and personal than jubilant praise. Lyrics aside, the subtle funk coupled with the pensive, meditative air channels the spirit of Stanley Cowell’s classic TRAVELLIN’ MAN.

New boy on the block, @Hyasynthe is one of those who is not yet likely on your radar, alas, please believe us - he will be within the next year or so. A deft producer (check his unsigned piece for us below) and well as a superb selector and the proud owner of a fantastic trouser collection; the guy really does have it all, despite hailing from concrete jungle, Milton Keynes. 

This hour or so sports a wealth of material; bits from friends, his own unreleased gems and some heat you may well recognise. Hold this one close for the summer months on the horizon - it's a keeper.

Synth wizard, Legowelt flips the energy of 'Nadivi' into an acid bath, blending his typical grit with a halcyon and dare we say, surprisingly funky bassline, while retaining the weirdo spirit of its source material.
