After launching their own De Stijl label last year, Artefakt are back on Delsin with Icarus, a sparkling new four track outing. The Dutch live-act and DJ duo formed by Robin Koek and Nick Lapien put out their Kinship LP on the label in 2017, picked up real acclaim for their intricate sound design and deep yet hard hitting grooves. Always serving up atmospheric music that is artful and filled with rich detail, they continued on their own path once again here.

Starting with the smooth and hypnotic, stripped back grooves from Icarus. Followed by the cavernous and immersive ambient trip Ganzfeld Effect. The darker Vapour is still heady and meticulously crafted with deft little details, a rich sound field and supple techno drums getting you in the zone. Delphic then offers crisp breakbeats, dubby drums and electrically charged synths that are physical but emotional. It's another perfect fusion of light and dark, thoughtful and physical techno from this ever impressive pair.

Our next mix comes from our good friend Julia, aka Frou Frou. You may have caught her playing the closing set at the melt livestream back in March. Part of the Crate Mates Collective, Julia's done some excellent work in the local scene as DJ and a promotor, helping to put on great events like Tesselate and Envelope. We hope you enjoy this fun, clubby and energetic mix she's put together for us.

melt mix vol. 16 - Frou Frou

Hey hey hey. Just cause we’re closed for a bit doesn’t mean we should lose the groove. Continuing with some warm air from the past summer, here’s a recording of local wizard Jenny Om doing it techy, proggy, breaky and rolly. Recorded in front of a live audience.

Post Recording 012 - Jenny Om

Northern alchemist and long time label friend and artist, Steven Legget, fuses together 45 mins of unreleased demos, remodels, remixes and collaborations from his own extensive musical archive. With tracks ranging from 1999-2020, this deep, dubby and expertly crafted collection of mind altering electronics sits somewhere between a DJ mix and a fully immersive live set. 

Featuring music from his solo repertoire, an unreleased @ofparadisefade remix and tracks produced alongside @suade, Bob Burroughs and @markhand.

AAAA real name Gabo Barranco is a Mexico City based electronic music producer and crew member of the rave event series EXT. His most recent releases include an EP on Omnidisc records, and a collaborative LP with Tin Man under their joint project named DOVS, released on Acid Test.

Runts is a collection of tracks written between 2018 and 2020. Running length at nearly an hour, exploring the possibilities and boundaries of acid, with shape shifting styles that travel from euphoria to the dysphoric.

The releases called Runts because the tracks were presumably not meant to survive, yet have persevered in the mind of AAAA, are a personal and uncompromised expedition. The collection was produced over time, sometimes seemingly unrelated but built from the same foundation. Taking meandering trips influenced by moods of the moment, the overall collection captures the expansive multiplicity not only in AAAAs style - as can be seen in other productions - but also in his identity, a constant shifting around a malleable center. The songs, though different in mood and tone, are all produced using the same analog machines. By eschewing digital manipulations or complex edits, they are unified by the basic tools with which they are produced.

Runts is a reflection of the producer’s own idiosyncratic methods, a diary through its music.
