Axces Recordings is releasing their second various artist release “Trip Wire EP”. Compiling 4 different tracks from 4 different artists focussing on minimal experimental techno club music. The record premieres Søren Kinch aka CX alongside the usual gang: Alfredo92, Kasper Marott and Popmix.

Trip Wire’s 4 tracks all have common denominators of being moody, trippy and darker than the usual Axces euphoria. All composed from an idea of linearity, whether it being the straightforward grooviness of the track IZA, the 8 minute suspenseful robotic tantra workout in Kasper Marotts “Welcome” or the more laid back in the sofa, über minimal parade in Popmix’s Ultima. With the opener track “Sjunne” Sørens Kinch or CX makes a promising debut. The track is ultimately the most romantic piece of music on this next edition of Axces music frisbees, with swirling pads and a kick drum that goes deep as the ocean.

EP written and produced by Søren Kinch, Alfred Toft, Frits Carøe and Kasper Marott.

Proper full-length outing from Naarm quartet and venerable live show Polito! Though prior associations with Butter Sessions have birthed EP’s and compilation appearances, Collapse Phase gathers the most cohesive body of work from the group to date. Self-described as "a meeting of improvised contemporary dance and live improvised techno music, working together to create entrancing performance experiences", the project translates impressively to the long-player format. Holding no pretence with its title, opening cut ‘Chuggalug’ swirls around the stereo field building upon sustained synth warbles with low-key basslines and breaks propelling the track. As the album progresses from the chug into gridlocked, Mills-ian loops and fast, extra-terrestrial sound design (all swinging 909s + decay), we’re also treated to contrasting downtempo acid cuts and dubwise, day-time festival vibes (‘Fortune Teller’). ‘Nine Lines’ layers various patterns in a classy exercise of dancefloor tension building, with an undoubtedly in-the-moment feeling evidencing Polito’s live show foundations. Across the board the group showcase their mastering of a kind of addition/subtraction push and pull, but the varying influences in sound design provide an extra layer of depth to the whole thing and cement the Polito brand. On both ‘Inside The Sphere’ and ‘The Sphere Is Collapsing’, the dreamier, more reflective edges of 90s IDM are given a nod and these two strike as up there with the best on the album. Head for ‘Mercado Waltz’ for a super interesting fusion of loopy techno and modular dubstep. 

Polito is a collaboration between musicians Robert Downie and Finnian Langham, and dancers Arabella Frahn-Starkie and Hillary Goldsmith.

Liquid Memory @ HÖR Takeover - OLIV

Dj set grabado en @operator-radio en Róterdam el pasado 17 de enero del 2024.

I have selected a collection of songs that convey different states, starting with a serene and meditative peace, and gradually moving into moments of uncertainty that interrupt that tranquility, with trippy sounds, sometimes incessant and repetitive and other times with melancholic moments. It's as if we were navigating a labyrinth, looking for a way out, and each path we choose is reflected in the different styles we go through throughout the mix.
