Octopus Podcast 403 - Lee Ann Roberts

The Muffin Man is one of the UK artists to follow at the moment. She co-runs Modül collective which delivers podcasts and events that awaken the London techno scene. Her music, always precise and danceable, is a clever mix of intense techno and groovy sounds that perfectly illustrate the English techno scene but can also be listened to at parties and afters all over the world. Enough to wake up the dead.

COMME DANS LES FILMS #7 : THE MUFFIN MAN

NDYUKA PODCAST #14

WINTI DANSI 

WINTI is a spiritual belief which lives under the six ndyuka tribes in Surinam. The dancers prepared their bodies with herbs and are therefore able to dance through the fire. While doing the WINTI DANSI, it is possible for the dancer to go into a trance. The WINTI DANSI is only performed on special occasions. 

This mix is recorded with a closing state of mind. Powerful rhythmic tracks which connects me to my KRAKTI (Powerful) culture. Searching for a bit more edge while keeping consistent rhythms. A bit faster than the other NDYUKA podcasts but never fast for the sake of being fast. 

Just like a WINTI DANSI i love it when people not just hear the music but really feel it. To a point where you could close your eyes and connect with the smallest details without any effort.

WINTI DANSI

Up next for Tapes #87 is evin. One half of Dimenzione Danza and two halves of unhinged fun are the main ingredients that make up evin’s refined approach to DJing. 

Devoted to the holy trinity of dance music (House, Techno, Trance), she never fails to cause dancing manias of diabolical proportions. The seductive basslines and the ecstatic directness of her sound will hit you straight in your core and put the dance floor at the centre of her sonic endeavours. So go ahead and get baptised in that bass, babes.

The EP is rounded off by two remixes from french dub expert Són du Maquís and fellow Leipzig producer Esgeem.
