Interview and tracklist: https://www.lowendtheorists.com/theory-therapy-mixes/30-nexcyia

The Theory Therapy series hits number 30 with a genre-dissolving mix from producer and sound artist Adam Dove, best known as Nexcyia. Adam is currently based between London and Paris, and over the last year or so, his shape-shifting brand of electronic music has been picked up on labels including Cafe OTO, Alien Jams and Cherche Encore.

Adam's mix drifts between ambient, illbient and dubby textures, and features tracks from a bunch of other artists we’re also big fans of, including OL, Igor Dyachenko and Mistareez. It’s marked by many of the same qualities that distinguish his own music: undulating rhythms, operatic synths and disintegrating noise, plus some very well-executed left turns. Adam probably sums this one up best when he says: “This mix is a little different than the other ones.” Dive in below.

the 6th chapter as the previous 5 chapters is education 
that a lot of alleged "House" DJs and Producers are 
obviously lacking showcasing modern, vintage and 
out of print/promo labels:

trax records, underground, house records, precision,
sunstar records, dezzarotic records, l.a. club resource, 
gherkin records, chicago connection, still music chicago,
dark entries and chiwax to productions from: 

ron hardy, felix de housecat’s 1st production, sweet d,
gene hunt, larry heard, farley jackmaster funk, virgo 4, 
x2, dmarc cantu, steve summers, boyd jarvis, juju, 
leron carson, g strings, ron morelli, terence woodard, 
delroy edwards, mutant beat dance and a new production of jakbeat to come from chicago 
with a new alias project dropping later this year 
in 2025 for a label we support.
(more news on that later)


⚠️ warning ⚠️ 
this selection covers the building blocks of the 
early dance music scene with selections of today 
and yesterday incorporating musical blueprint dubs,
a couple of vocals in between but overall: 
a raw style of basement underground tracks 
of Chicago and New York’s timeless heroes & icons 
we admire, honor and inspired by their education.

we hope this will give people the chance to 
listen to music many may have never heard 
on this side of sound that provides a provocative 
and thoughtful musical workout in your mind 
with vinyl turntables, a vintage mix console 
with an effects box and cd players.

this selection is personally dedicated 
to my beloved heart ♥️ vicki, jason, nestor, 
mark grusane, naughty wood, ron morelli,
kozmik, strangeland, alex from queens, uncle tom
and the dancers and dreamers for the continuation 
of the lessons and storytelling of chicago with 
sincerity 🎶✨

{Traxx} Presents- The Definitive Articles of House Music Chapter 6

bambinodj’s @henryaleksis musical influences trace back to his early childhood in Guinea, West Africa, and are further shaped by his formal training in classical music.
In the early 2010s, bambinodj explored SoundCloud’s underground, tracing black diasporic club sounds from Brooklyn to London. Genres like FDM, Soflojook, UK Funky and Grime shaped his approach to rhythm, energy, and sound design.
After moving to Berlin, he immersed himself in its diverse electronic music scenes, each one adding another layer of inspiration.
Over time, bambinodj gravitated toward the emotional spectrum of music, where melancholy, euphoria, and intimacy intersect.
Blending elements of dancehall, pop, electronica, and trance, he creates a sound that is both personal and globally resonant. What began as remix-driven collage work has evolved into a more refined language, one where vulnerability and rhythm move in sync.

LIVE FROM EARTH Mix w/ bambinodj (79)

The first-ever live recording from an elusive icon of dubby electronic music.

Lore is an underrated quality. Neuroscientists have mapped that music elicits similar feelings in the brain to when we satiate cravings, but what about the psychological impulse that drives listeners of a certain disposition toward everything they don't know?

It's tricky to put your finger on, but artists able to conjure intrigue without overhawking the backstory can really cut through—just ask SAULT, [ar:pi:ar] or Gerald Donald. Then there are those who don't try whatsoever. These are the ones who stay in mind the most.

In 2001, a striking 12" called Ship-Scope emerged through Chain Reaction, credited to Shinichi Atobe, with no other info available. Okay, mulled fans, this is probably a cat-and-mouse game dreamed up by someone on a label with a fine line in foggy obfuscation. Vainqueur on a wind-up? Another Moritz 'n Mark alias?

But no: Atobe was real, and really had posted a demo to Hard Wax. It was that simple. Then he went back to his day job—until, after 13 years of silence, an even better follow-up emerged.

From the near-perfect Butterfly Effect onwards, Atobe has built up one of the most revered catalogues in underground circles. A steady clip of elegant, transportive dub techno and deep electronics has arrived on Demdike Stare's DDS, complimented by the launch of his own label, plastic & sounds, earlier in summer 2025.

Atobe has also made strides into the public domain, DJing intermittently, as well as performing live for the first time in 2023, gracing WWW at the tender age of 52. It's that debut 2023 show heard on RA.1009: a hypnotic yet comparatively pumping set full of Atobe staples, as well as material you won't find anywhere else.

Contact with the big man, as you might anticipate, is glacial: since we first reached out, the RA Mix has changed name, look and rolled over into its second millennium. Still, patience pays off. This is a one-off we're stoked to run. – Gabriel Szatan
