A patchwork of archival dubs from both Angel and Peter, assembled to sonically terraform four fantasy environments, each of which was developed in tandem with a track on Angel Rocket's debut EP 'AM003'. This podcast represents a detailed insight into the lore of Angel Rocket's music, with a narrator relating the experiences of a government-endorsed tour party round all four regions.

Day 1: Westernmost Horticultural Dome

Monsoon season in the Westernmost province. Sheets of water lash the panels of smoked glass which form the overhead dome. Knotted baobab buttresses curl round sharp corners all through the district, their expedited growth testament to unforgiving weather.

As the party is ushered through the dome, the panels start to sing with the wind - the tour guide is quietly concerned about the integrity of the glasshouse. This unease has lent their gait a strange and hurried character, and they slap the waxed saucers of parasitic plants aside, beckoning their followers down rambling arteries in the undergrowth. Each cuff sends flocks of canopy-dwelling birds soaring for the rafters, filling the dome with a panoramic warbling. The air is dense with the musk of damp pomelo bark - an strange fume begins to seep.

Day 2: Oyster Perpetual Saltwater Mollusc farm 

The O.P.S.M.F facility straddles the two concave faces of the Northernmost drop off. Terraces of pastel green saltwater tanks cut blinking channels in the silty topsoil. Ostrea Perpetuus, the species of Oyster the facility was built to accommodate, is known throughout all four provinces for its spindly, elongated pearls. Pearl veneers are a pillar of the region’s economy and glisten in the mouths of government officials during televised dispatches.

The guide ushers the party along rubberised gangways in the humid facility, and in the tanks lining the clay vault, divers twist and plummet. The facility’s employees are trained from birth in deepflote antechambers to prevent seagrass gnarcosis. The guide’s snaking trail gives the party an insight into every aspect of the subaqueous harvest, from the cultivation of seagrass tankbeds to the arsenal of mollusc wrenches and deepflote apparatus at each diver’s disposal. A stray pearl catches the glow of the flourescent strips lining the gangway and is deftly whisked up into the sleeve of an opportunistic party member.

Day 3: Tunnelrunners Circuit

We follow the party’s descent down a wheezing escalator to the Eastern Settlement’s subterranean drag strip, the Tunnelrunners’ circuit. This sepulchral, community-built channel pulses beneath the rambling streets above, spanning the seventeenth-through-nineteenth districts. The subway walls are lined with soot-caked emerald tiles, and dim saucers on serpentine scaffolds light the descent. The escalator finally gives way to a standing-pit; already teeming with denizens. The walls and ceilings of the vault are hewn from charred mecha scrap and discarded xandroid spares. Strobing LED eyes survey the jostling denizens from the rafters, and an evaluator stands on a slender parapet delivering a nasal spiel through a sawnoff megaphone. 

Karts squeal round the bend leaving sour plumes in their wake; bending the air in the cavern, and giving the impression that the walls are rippling. The gnoxious aroma of moist creosote permeates the nostrils of the party, who are also handed cones of a mildly opiated purple incense by gangly vendolas. These sales nomads sashay through the crowd, combing for newcomers. The party will pay on the way out. In dark corners, denizens copulate enthusiastically against kart tyres, doubtless stirred by the cacophonous tunnelrunners and handiness of budget intoxicants.

Jynx are a hotly tipped London based duo: 2018 has seen them share the stage with DJ Stingray and Shanti Celeste at Farr Festival, and headline Rye Wax with their live show. Their productions are consistently forward thinking, distilling classic UK styles into a fresh product, with the result that they have received playtime from the likes of Ben UFO and featured on BBC Radio 1. 

Their entry to the series features new, unreleased material, and is informed by the UK’s love of low end pressure, slaloming through polyrhythmic grooves, tripped out minimal and high intensity breaks. The first fifteen minutes establish a stripped back, steppers groove. Tracks like Steevio’s “Syzygy” shine: the lurching kicks create ample amounts of tension, and the eerie modular synth wails trail into Joy Orbison and Ben Vince’s  “Transition 2”.  An inspired transition from a tribal drum workout sees the glistening pads of Lanark Artefax’s “Touch Absence” give way to a stretch of rolling minimal. The transition into Ploy’s peak time weapon “Ramos” around the half-way mark is particularly effective: the rolling snares fade into the mix like an oncoming storm cloud. The mix then moves  through a stretch of off kilter drum tracks: the urgent percussion of Yak’s “Zephyr” and Tessela’s “Glisten” are wonderfully counterbalanced by the swung, dubby hypnotism of likes of Peverelist’s remix of “Chord Recall”. Having spent the mix presenting sounds with an emphasis on futurism, the duo look backwards to close out proceedings. The nostalgia soaked, saccharine vocals DJ Sports retro leaning remix of  “Drive”  dapple the mix with splashes of sun, and the duo dig up an old D-Base cut “The Fight” to provide some much welcome late 90s 2-step darkness. The mix serves as a welcome snapshot of the genre-defying, trend resistant UK techno scene that has emerged from the post-Livity Sound landscape: its the sound of progress.

_________________________________________________

-- What was the concept behind the mix?

“Skeleton UK grooves that make up the club half of our sound. Couple of Jynx ideas and some matrix vibes thrown in for good measure.’’

-- Where/When is this mix suitable for listening to? 

“ Ideal for the M4, in the car to London, 2am saturday night.’’

-- Whats next for Jynx ?

“Getting our vision out to more and more people. Also, pushing the live show and some 3D projections we’ve got to go with it.”
