An unflinching entry from the Berlin-based producer and Offkey label head.

Chris Jarman's Crack Mix under his Kamikaze Space Programme alias paints a vivid picture of where he's at creatively at present, with tracks from similarly inventive producers like ZULI, Squarepusher, Lanark Artefax, Aphex Twin and Trace & Nico. Jarman also weaves in several of his own original productions, be it solo tracks, a recent collaboration with Under My Feet. co-founder Ireen Amnes or earlier work under his Raiden alias.

Crack Mix 408: Kamikaze Space Programme

Karim Maas & Stave
UVB76-LP002 : Godless

Side A: (1) Interlude (2) Loop 002 (3) D_A_T (4) Blakk
Side B: (1) Track4 (2) Project 1 (3) Plan (4) Godless

Release Date: 24th September 2021

Album notes by Karl Meier:

The culmination of a working relationship that started in 2019, "Godless" is the first full-length release from Jonathan "Stave" Krohn (also known for his work as half of Talker on Downwards) and Thomas "Karim Maas" Cooper. After a joint live p.a. with labelmates in Bristol (suggested by UVB-76 label co-owner Nick Callaghan) a shared interest in both Birmingham-influenced techno, as well as forward-thinking bass and breaks music, led to further collaborations, with Krohn and Cooper pushing rhythm tracks and loops back and forth from their home studios based out of Chicago and Bristol respectively.

"Godless" finds Krohn and Cooper in fine form - it's a cinematic, richly detailed recording that represents some of their best material to date. After a tension-filled "Interlude", the LP kicks off with the brooding, slow- motion "Loop 002", melding scorched-earth/salted ground textures with blackened dub sonics to devastating effect. "D_A_T" follows, a throbbing industrial techno track with a mind-meltingly abrasive and psychedelic breakdown and conclusion. Side A finishes with "Blakk", a desolate, wind-swept landscape that cuts to the bone.

The second half picks up where the first half left off, with opener "track4" - all ominous atmospherics, howling feedback, and existential dread. "Project 1" and "Plan" are LP highlights here - both relentless rhythmic juggernauts that ratchet up the tension and never let up - all nervous energy and pulse-quickening suspense. The release concludes with the title track, a cacophonous and cauterising piece with evocative vocal samples and blasts of harsh noise.

Placid One

We start our opulent October roster in the south of our Southern neighbours; acid is this boss' middle name which he transforms into a euphoric pièce de résistance every time he turns on his impressive synth collection, blending IDM, braindance & breaks effortlessly. 

From his earlier work at Soundhitectures, Ransom Note & Nebulae Records to his latest releases at Gestalt Records (HPU-013), Of Paradise ( the in-our-most-humble-opinion iconic 'Prove Yourself') and his latest EP "Slow Motion Race" on Further Electronix all catch your attention within the first 10 seconds of hitting the play button to the point where you just can't help yourself cranking the volume up till the ground starts to tremble.

This mix is no different and in our opinion, a perfect start to this stunning month of October. Filled with material produced by the man himself, you are bound to be entertained. 

Let his music do the talking.

En:vy - You

Over the years, @quelza has made a name for himself, releasing music on labels like Mord, Palinoia, 47 and Hayes Collective, each pushing an unorthodox crystal clarity and cinematic sound design that has become his signature as an artist. Championing layered techno wares laced with a breaksy, IDM-informed touch that packs a punch, the Frenchman keeps on carving out a truly distinctive, shape-shifting universe, switching scopes and angles as he ups the rhythmic pressure.

This maturity is also reflected in his sets, and this podcast is a clear testament of that. He says "I wanted this podcast to be a slow, burning progression of weirdness and solar intensity, gradually building tension not in the speed of the piece but rather in the textural aspect. This is usually how I like to start my sets: by letting the track breathe and evolve before releasing the intensity once the audience and I are acclimatised to the aesthetics and dynamics of the track selection and the venue.”

Close your eyes and enjoy.
