Yo! 
Fiyahdred up next for the pod, after a superb debut EP on the bad boy Hyperdub, we're huge fans of their sound and not to mention the previous Bamz releases so we're buzzed to be having them on the pod. For the mix they've served up just under an hour of straight vibes, with uk funky, amapiano, afro and soulful bits floated throughout, it's wicked. 
Massive ups to Bam, we also caught up for a little chat below, check it > 


AM: Yo Bam! What you been up to recently?

Yo! I can't lie, the days feel like they're rolling into one, so sometimes I be forgetting what I'm doing lmao. But recently, I've been gigging, I've been making music for a few labels, enjoying the success of the Anyway EP and just been trying to establish a new routine/workflow when it comes to making content and being consistent with it. Plotting everyday, you know?!

AM: How and where did you record the mix? Was there a theme or anything behind it?

After many failed attempts due to technical difficulties, I did end up recording the mix at home on my brand new Pioneer XDJ-XZ controller. Initially, I didn't have a theme for the mix when I did the earlier attempts, but after the same conversation of UK Funky being dead made it to social media again, I made sure that this mix included the amazing, high quality and abundant UK Funky tunes that are being churned out by some very wavy music creators.

AM: We loved the debut Fiyahdred on HD, was the EP a long time in the works? What was the process for it?

Thank you so much - I'm glad you enjoyed Anyway EP! The lead single 'Anyway (Do It)' was made some time in 2020 - I was just having fun with it because at that time, I had difficulties being connected with music and feeling passionate about it. I sent the tune to Scratchclart and he said it was sick, then sometime in 2021 he circled back around and basically said 'nah it's sick, do something with it. I'm sending it to Kode9.' Fast forward, Kode9 & myself confirm going ahead with the EP, then the following months I got to work on the rest of the tracks. I was feeling so recharged and excited to get new music out, the vibes came easily to me and I was pleasantly surprised that the tracks were wrapped up in a few months, as I typically take a while to finish tracks because I'm either overthinking it or I'm somewhat doubting my abilities. Dealing with the Hyperdub team has been a wonderful, easy going experience - can't wait to do it again!

AM: Touching on Fiyahdred again, what was the inspiration for the switch?

I feel like I had outgrown 'Bamz' and I was in need of a somewhat drastic change in order for me to propel further ahead with my music. As well as that, there were a few artists locally and globally that had similar names so I wanted to stand out! Lastly but equally important, the name makes me feel connected to my Caribbean heritage, which for a long time, I actually felt disconnect from due to a handful of reasons. I have big dreams, many creative ideas, I felt like I couldn't have projected them if I didn't make that change. I know on the surface it's just a name change, but for some reason it give me a new energy, new essence, new excitement, new sense of self and I am enjoying the creative journey again. I'm looking forward to seeing where Fiyahdred can go!

AM: What’s next for you in 2022?

2022 I'm just trying to smash it! Releasing music and collaborating with artists across the spectrum, upping the quality in everything I do, taking myself further than I've ever been and I hope to be presented with opportunities that wouldn't have crossed my mind. I feel like everything will align perfectly! Keep your eyes and ears peeled :)

變格

“It's intended to be immersed in as if it was a film, in the first person. Set somewhere in the Middle East, from a busy market you're drawn by curiosity and some entrancing, ominous presence down alleys, stairways and tunnels, getting increasingly dark and distant from the outside world, eventually into some sort of glistening ancient cave. There you discover a beautiful and scary artefact, and in removing it you activate it and set off a ripple of undetermined supernatural consequences that create some cataclysmic event that changes the course of history and society and maybe the universe."

« Doll’s Lullaby »
Une berceuse étrange, suspendue entre l’innocence et l’inquiétude. Des souvenirs flous, un murmure dans l’obscurité, le balancement lent d’un vieux berceau. Laisse la poupée t’emmener là où le rêve vacille.

CIAIC is an Italian DJ based in Paris. An insatiable delver of dance music’s murkiest depths, he draws inspiration from bass-heavy sounds, dub, and hypnotic rhythms to open a gateway for his imagination.

A dense journey drifting through dub pressure, industrial haze, and glitchy footwork.

Gem Fumigation Spa is a new damaged American rock band. Rummaging through the trash heap of all known undergrounds, they work in conversation with both the hyper-present of guitar music and the forgotten knights of the sticky noise table. They use drum machines and distortion. They play with an urgency that sometimes even confuses the band members themselves.

We are delighted to welcome their debut EP :  Desperation Driving Mind

releases Sept 24th.
