Honcho Podcast Series 117: Sobolik

Martyn is the finest example of an artist who exists outside traditional genre boundaries. Ever since the mid-90s, the Dutchman has operated in his own adjacent worlds while drawing on UK bass hybrids, techno and electro to cook up singular rhythms and unique moods. The 3024 label head has always used his platform to bring through new talent, and now also mentors young artists with his own Patreon program. This sits next to his ever spell-binding performances in the club and eye-opening monthly Darkest Light show on NTS, which is a deep dive into his love of jazz. 

This week's mix is a 70-plus minute snapshot of Martyn's sound, which is as timeless as ever. From the crispness of Detroit electro to the off-beat thump of bass via his deep techno lit up with glistening electronics, it is a perfect blend of body and head and one full of brazen moves. There's a switch to jazz-laced broken beat and low, then the slow wobble of dubstep before a rebuild towards old school jungle that proves this is the sound of a true master at work.

Based in NYC, and with a background as a DJ, writer, and event organizer, Lychee's (@lycheefrut) underground energy is evident in every set they craft. With regular appearances at Basement, Nowadays, and Bossa Nova Civic Club, Lychee also runs Spontaneous Affinity, a monthly mix and interview series and occasional event platform, and the label Unimatrix Zero, as well as serving on the board for the Aslice Foundation.

Drawing inspiration from recent musical explorations at Nowadays in NYC in particular, Lychee's Patterns of Perception 116 showcases a return to their musical foundations in hypnotic, dubby, wormholey techno. Embracing a more focused, classic feel than many of their recent dancefloor explorations, this mix infuses a sense of narrative and evolution, effortlessly blending darkness and light, corporeality and sentimentality.

Through channeling abysmal atmospheres, subliminal frequencies and a wide-screen orchestration of sonic dramatics, KĀ’s curatorial approach is inspired by a world where techno and the supernatural meet. Highly regarded for evoking frequencies that derive from obscured psychedelic foundations, the sound of KĀ entices an unworldly edge that merges futurism and mysticism together on the dance floor. The creation of such a devious psycho-acoustic archetype anchors itself betwixt mentality and the art of confrontational listening - undeniably saturated in divinely guided spirit and rinsed down with a relentlessly hypnotic concoction of time-winding deep techno infused with intention and vibrational medicine.

DJ Hockey approaches techno by intermingling layers of contrasting elements. Defining characteristics for his selections are grounded, thick, encompassing atmospheres often on the introspective side. Psychedelia is present in all of his musical expressions, crafting dynamic journeys resulting in playful and groovy sets.

Notes on the Mix ///
"I wanted this mix to be my interpretation of intriguing soundscapes with an overarching feeling of groove, playfulness, a dose of sass and queerness. This mix is intended to be celebratory and funky leaving you with a pep in your step for the rest of the day."
