As part of Pollination's second 'Open Culture: No Borders' volume, Yorkshire-born, London-based Kitsta delivers the track 'Tendrilla' as part of the 40-track compilation. The slow-paced but heavy weight cut takes you on a hypnotic, mind-melting realm while at the same time it caters dancefloors all over.

Open Culture: No Borders is a campaign demonstrating solidarity with refugees and asylum seekers, as an ongoing response to the UK government’s ‘Hostile Environment Policy’. The policy has involved a slew of regressive legislations, intended to create a deliberately challenging environment for migrants to settle. In the process, we are seeing cruel approaches to the treatment of refugees and asylum seekers, the use of provocative language intended to create division and the adaption of laws which offer protection of human rights for all.

Proceeds go to Safe Passage International, who support unaccompanied children seeking asylum to reunite safely with their families across Europe, and campaign for more accessible, safer routes.

Kiedy seria guest mixów w Burn The Roots startowała dwa lata temu byłem jeszcze na etapie namawiania dzisiejszej gościni do złapania za decki i trzymania kciuków, by mogła się tu kiedyś pojawić. Dziś gummi jest najbardziej ekscytującą debiutantką sezonu, zjadając szlifowaną od lat selekcją większość polskiego undergroundu. Świetne czucie muzyki i naturalny pociąg do rzucania sobie wyzwań i zacierania DJskich konwenansów sprawiły, że płynnie i bez skrępowania odnalazła się na tak poważanych eventach, jak Up To Date, Miazmat czy Move Mózg. Ku uciesze mojej i najbardziej wymagających słuchaczy, Sylwia wjeżdża na naszą antenę z miksem wypełnionym ostrymi zakrętami i dziwacznym basowym brzmieniem.

Burn The Roots: guest mix by gummi

This week we welcome the SIM on our Rhythmic Culture podcast. The Montréal-based artists couldn't stay unnoticeable after a couple of great releases on labels such as Nervous Horizon. 

SIM pushes the boundaries in sound system music. His work has been noted around the world, from the US to Jamaica, to the UK, highlighting key elements of the Hardcore Continuum. Taking up the sound theories of Lee 'Scratch' Perry, King Tubby and Dave Kelly or Techno pioneers such as Plastikman or Jeff Mills, SIM explores the relationship between space, body and sound. This 60 minute jam-packed mix is everything we've come to expect from him – jump in.

Everything Merged Vol 2
(release Dec 2)

‘Everything Merged’ is 3024’s second series of compilations featuring artists from the 3024 Mentoring Program. At the beginning of the pandemic, label owner Martyn started forming a lively online community of artists, providing them with ideas and inspiration. This community grew larger and larger, and musicians started to connect both online and offline, across continents and genres. It resulted in the “It Was Always There” series of compilations in 2021, as well as countless independent releases, radio appearances and gigs, putting a host of artists on the map.

Working on the program made Martyn and partner Jeroen Erosie reconsider the purpose of running a record label in 2022. ‘Are we still interested in putting out records via the usual channels?’ Or should a label become more of an umbrella for various activities by a larger community, both online and IRL, with digital and physical products, in other words merge everything into one.

“Everything Merged vol. 2” features both artists debuting their first tracks on a label as well as mainstays of core local scenes like London, NYC, SF and Berlin. From the percussive mastery of Sister Zo, Arcane Prospect and Manchester's DR MYSTERY to the sly techno mutations of Kudeki, Clay Wilson and Pino Peña, this collection highlights the wide variety of sounds and influences inhibiting the current electronic scene. Especially check out the post-pando exuberance of uuklyph, Henry Kerins and Padua and the bass mutations of Dutch duo TMSV & Case, Kenji Ko, Ragdy and Rex the Bard!

It’s been a hot moment, so we can’t wait to finally announce the next EP on our Awkwardly label, “a hack is a foul“ by @dadan11.

Safe to say he’s been on our radar for a while, so we’re mighty excited to welcome the Wrocław-based producer on AWK005. After a strong debut release on his co-owned SPLOT imprint, an equally solid LP on Regime Brigade as well as contributions to various compilations, dadan is back with his signature moody, bass-bin shaking sound. 

Hitting the sweet spot somewhere between dubstep, grime, breaks and ambient techno, these 4 tracks provide a somber yet seductive quality that invite the listener to get lost in a hazy amalgamation of stylistic elements. Rest assured, this combination of low end and rhythm heavy explorations contains the right formula to cause some damage on the dance floor. 

DJ picks ups and plays by: DJ Voices, EMA, Ehua, Kassian, HAAi, Ila Brugal, Jaye Ward, Mani Festo, mi-el, Nala Brown, Om Unit, Peder Mannerfelt, Pinch, Stenny, Sybil, Tom Ravenscroft, Toumba et al.

AWK005 is set for release on Friday, October 20th 2023. As always, many thanks and much love for everyone’s support and feedback!

AWK005 - a hack is a foul EP by dadan karambolo // snippets

After debuting on 3024 in July 2021 with "I See Faces in the Trees" on the label's first Artist Mentorship Compilation, we are very proud to present Talik's Firefly EP.

On this record, the London-based producer explores and experiments with the twitchy, flickering movements of animals of the night, their behaviors perhaps analogous to our own in dark and loud rooms surrounded by strangers- alone but together. Through four beautiful tracks we are shown a more energetic side of Talik's music, layered with the moods of her earlier work for Intercept, Pressure Dome and Control Freak.

Enjoy!
