Various Production

Forged in the cohesion labs of Indianapolis, the XK3 EP by producer D. Strange dives into the metallic underworld of alienated shadows to create 5 icy acid electro cuts.

The submerged acid-tinged opener, ‘Sonic Recoil,’ ascends with a snarling pathos of trap hats that pierce through the looming fog of the club. ‘Negative Center’ haunts in cunning dexterity and grooves with a jacking pace of brooding momentum. Somewhere in the maze of resonance droplets, cascading hats, and the ominous synth pads, the track “A Black Liquid Filled My Lungs” hypnotizes in its atmospheric acid electro hybrid. Right out of the gate, the self-titled track ‘XK3’ punishes with off-beat synth shards and glitchy, mechanical snares that snap in anthemic propulsion. While ‘Ghost of Kashif’ weaves itself in esoteric, yet evocative, soundscapes with club menacing fashion. Rounding out the release, fellow Indianapolis producer Noncompliant contributes a cruel electro sub-heating take of ‘XK3,’ to warm the boreal tips of the EP.

5 Mag Premiere - Beloved techno producer and DJ @noncompliant1 has announced the release of Momentum Shift, the debut EP from her new label Giant Arm, out September 7 2023.

Giant Arm is designed to be a showcase for Noncompliant's "signature style of raw, uncompromising techno." Momentum Shift features four tracks that tick every box on that checklist — the rhythmic, radical and raw sound of Midwest techno crafted by one of our most essential artists. 

5 Mag is premiering the lead track from Momentum Shift. "Symptom Onset," like many Noncompliant tracks, doesn't "start" as much as it "warms up," like a great thermal engine gradually filling the room with heat, frenzy, sound and fury. Give it a listen and some love if you like it 👏

🎙 Noncompliant - Raised in small-town Indiana on a musical diet of 80s synth pop and punk rock, Noncompliant soon found barnyard raves and warehouse techno parties and (as DJ Shiva) quickly became a fixture of the fabled 90s Midwest USA rave scene. Now, almost three decades and a name change later, she is at the top of her techno game. She was recognized as one of Mixmag's Top 20 Breakthrough DJs in 2017 and has performed at renowned venues like Berghain and Tresor in Berlin, Smartbar in Chicago, and DeSchool in Amsterdam. She has also appeared at festivals such as Unsound and Movement Detroit.  Noncompliant's releases and remixes on labels like Valence, Flash, Outerworld, and Dark Entries have made waves in the global music scene, with her track "Women's Work" even landing on Fiedel's official Berghain 08 mix and his label Fiedeltwo. In 2023, she is launching her own label called Giant Arm, which features her signature style of raw, uncompromising techno.

House of Rekids Mix 02 is here with the inimitable @manpower-1 at the controls. 

We have to agree with Resident Advisor who referred to Man Power’s musical leaning as ‘intergalactic house’. Whether he’s going full Balearic, disco or dropping pure house and techno, what he does is consistently spacey. When he’s not putting out music via his own Me Me Me, Permanent Vacation, Correspondant or ESP Institute, he’s putting on DIY parties in social clubs, writing symphonies for renowned cultural venues or paying it forward via numerous community-driven projects. 

Ahead of a Man Power project on Rekids (to be announced soon), we’re delighted to have him deliver a superb mix for the second House of Rekids Mix Show.

This Is Your Time! Vol.43 w / Marcel Vogel & Mike Starr (08/04/24)

Ralph Lawson should need no introduction as it would be impossible to list all that he has achieved in such a short space but here's a whistle stop tour anyway. 

Having cut his teeth as resident DJ at back to basics, even playing the first record in the club, before going onto become musical director and help the club to win multiple awards. Ralph has gone on to perform across the globe in countless famous venues too long to list but including The Hacienda, Sub Club, fabric, The Loft Barcelona, Space & DC10. 

Ralph also founded 20/20 Vision Recordings, a label as relevant now as it was when founded back in 1995 that has released music from an eclectic range of artists as musically diverse as Crazy P, Maya Jane Coles, Christian Loffler, Carl Finlow and Voigtmann over 400 releases. There is something very incredibly special about that in our eyes, with multiple releases spanning the years still never leaving the bags of us here at W.A.P.

When you take a step back and look at Ralph’s history and musical knowledge as a DJ, giving this mix a spin is a no brainer. The man quite simply loves music and that is so very evident in the unique and fresh energy he brings to each & every set. 

We are blessed & honoured to have Ralph kick off our new series with a journey into the brain courtesy of new mycelium networks. From a slow chuggy start the mix builds into mind expanding acid house while being nailed to the floor by cabinet shaking bass along the way. This is full frequency mixing to be enjoyed on a road trip…

Ascent (Noncompliant's Persist Mix) [vinyl + digital]

This classic, originally released on the legendary Black Nation Records, is a personal favorite of mine. That's why I was stoked to be asked to turn in a remix. Pressure? Yep. But I had fun and I think I made a nice jam that will pound a dancefloor (or a home system) quite nicely.
