It's just that time of year again. You leave the house with a coat and gloves, only to throw them back in your bag by noon. As the sun subsides back into its nightly rest, you long for your warm comforters again. The cycle of tapping into the unknown is exactly what Axefield's latest production - aptly named "Effortless", will remind you of. The sounds are familiar but if you don't pay attention, you can't keep up. It's a bouncy, rhythmic consortium of smooth yet energetic power. It's time to reflect - no, it's time to dance. Or is it? Put on Effortless, forget about your coat and gloves, and for all you know, you might be reflecting whilst in the middle of a freeing dance.

FKA Twigs feat. The Weekend - Tears In The Club (Axefield Emo Edit)

The flute of the Transpersonal World willows in glory. Forever it shall stay in the voice of your mind. Axefield's music is inspired by hollow halls and large brutalist buildings that make us feel so small. Transpersonal World guides your meditation making you feel like you’re standing in the hall of a massive industrial cathedral. Ancient Memories evokes exactly that as images from the past run through your veins. Do we feel a certain way? The synth patterns resemble steel pipes whereas the bassline sounds like large concrete slabs swiping you off your feet.

Thanks Vincent Reinders for the invite. Had the best time playing this set during their radio show 'Wat Anders' on 3FM / Omroep Zwart

Axefield | Radio DJ Set | Wat Anders op 3FM / Omroep Zwart

Picture this: I’m in my apartment. It’s the size of a large broom closet, tinkering in my studio like a mad scientist. I call my latest creation “Chemistry”. My mission? To craft a track that’s not just high-energy, but also bursting with peachy colours.

So here I am, trying to bottle an elusive yet playful vibe. “Chemistry” is a wild ride through different worlds: the first half is like a bright, sunny beach party. The second half? Total transformation. Now, you find yourself in a sultry, neon-lit club. You get me?

“Chemistry” draws you into a day-to-night saga. It’s a love story just as summer is flapping its wings towards us – this is all, for now. I’ll see you on the dancefloor and who knows, there might be a new chemical reaction when this one drops at 01:29am.

Release info.

Premiere: Kyra Khaldi - A Queen Is Born (Axefield's Cinematic Rave Mix) - Foresight Records

The curtains thrust open in a tingling sensational appearance where art and reality coincide. The crowd is confronted as the engine tightens and shifts us into a spiral of overthinking, underdressing and mild confusion which swiftly turns into tension felt in our backs but released through our custom-engineered earbuds. The mind tends to overanalyze, but the cinema is here for all of us and we must just sit back, relax and feel the tender force of Axefield's rendition of understanding viscosity or whatever it's called.

PREMIERE: Axefield - Effortless [Intercept Records]

this recording is from a performed dj set from mul/ANNA & Axefield during the pos weekender on Krackfree Soundsystem.
-----
after finding each other musically during a special Who's Susan RRFM set in het Meterhuis this summer, Axefield and mul/ANNA decided they weren't done playing their fierce yet delicate dj sets together. their jungle special at RRFM was full of bassy surprises and ventures into many other 160+ bass music songs, anthems and ballads. to this day mul/ANNA can't forget the famous 'amen break', which continues to echo in her head every minute of the day, while Axefield won't stop rewinding every song he loads up for which he's seeked professional help. 

it was during this dj identity crisis that the loving community of pos reached out with an offer: to close off after the legendary Mia Koden on the equally as legendary Krackfree Sounsystem in their community space during ADE. Both mul/ANNA and Axefield were stunned, overwhelmed with disbelief, and instantly cured of their jungle music-induced health complications. ffcourse, "yes" is what they said, and the rest is history.

Sleep on my Menu EP

Sleep On My Menu

A song about riding ostriches. 

Taken from 'Pressure Drop', Forthcoming on @Atomnation 

https://atomnation.bandcamp.com/album/pressure-drop

Slow, consistent bumps. Is that how Ostrich’s stroll through the passage of their lives? Add a few high and low synths and you might have a point there. But wait, what about the acid? It’s all part of the greater Ostrich at large. Axefield’s opening ode to the exotics is a lucid dream in which your answers are questioned by a tropical animal as the steady beat thumps on and the hypnotising synths make you swing left and right. As the filter flings the hallucinogenic Ostrich Ride To Other away, the palm trees turn into riverbeds and clear crystal dreams. Was this the other side? I don’t know. You don’t speak Ostrich either. All we know is that you should ride the darned thing by its wings. If you would have listened you would have heard.

Ostrich Ride To Other

Last minute man is the B1 track taken from my EP 'Pressure Drop' out on @Atomnation

You reach the cliff you’ve been searching for. Tribal drums and foreign flutes trap your vision but you are the Last Minute Man who has been destined to figure out what all of this means. You take a break and fall into a deep sleep. Systematic, deep acid controls your thoughts now. The wind brushes past your face and you know you’re that man now. It’s becoming more of a ritual now. A hollow item is tapped on to get this tube-like sound that will stay in your memory for many fortnights to come. Though the wav-lengths of this track stay in equal flow, this is an absolute hidden gem exposed by the absurdity of Man.

Pressure Drop

Last Minute Man

Here's 1.5 hours of my dj set that I recorded on 10.11.18 in the Kantine at WAS. @wasutrecht. What a pleasure it was playing there, had loads of fun, but sadly lost the last half hour of the recording and 30 mins b2b action with @thomashayat.

Deejaying at WAS. - 10.11.18

'Taiv' is taken from 'The Delta Series 1' released on Patron Records (@patronrec) and the track, a spacey and dubby song about snow, is accompanied by @iamlewski @dexter-official @desluwevos @lennardypma & @alternativetoneadjustment
