NEIN welcomes East London based DJ and producer, Birds for the release of her EP ‘Time.’ The title track is a heavy EBM tinged number featuring an abrasive MS20 bass line that chugs on throughout the whole thing, whilst the vocal phrasing resembles something that David Byrne would churn out but put through a distortion pedal, reverb and delay to give it a gothic, no wave feel. The second track is the slower and psychedelic ‘New Age Nights (Feed The Void)’, which is a drone-y, bass guitar heavy ode to the post-pandemic return to dance floor. 

The first remix comes from Mexico’s Alvee who’s put together an immensely special Italo and post-punk inspired dance floor rework of ‘New Age Nights (Feed The Void).’ Meanwhile, the remix of the title track is a meaty, past paced Italo Body Music rework from Gegen Mann that’s just made for some peak time club night action.

PREMIERE: Birds - New Age Nights (Feed the Void) [Nein Records]

London-based DJ and producer Katie Wilkinson is a bird lover, no wonder she decided to call her brand-new music project… Birds. Exploring her New Wave, 80s Goth, Techno, Psychedelic, and Experimental influences, Katie has been delivering high-quality themes and drawing more and more attention through her solid releases on influential Indie Dance labels such as Emerald & Doreen, Ombra International, Samo, Inside Out, and now on NEIN Records with “Time”, a 4-track EP divided into two dark-as-hell originals and two dangerous remixes by our dear friends Alvee (FREEDL019) and Gegen Mann (SXDNS220).

Her music brings together acid basslines with post-punk style guitars and off-kilter vocals to create something refreshingly original. The successful formula has been responsible for extremely well-crafted retro-infused pieces. In sum: Music with attitude, that’s the best definition of Birds’ exquisite sonority.

Through the remix we were solicited to review/premiere, Alvee proved he is totally familiarized and comfortable dealing with the mesmerizing Post-Punk universe. His interpretation of “Feed The Void” kept the gloomy atmosphere of the original even after having spiced & speed up things a little bit. The Mexican virtuoso went from 100 to 121 BPM, properly twisted the vibrant acid layer, and added some badass guitar riffs that paired sublimely with the amazing vocals by the star of the hour. Kudos, Jungs!

PREMIERE259 // Birds - Feed The Void (Alvee Remix)

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/birdsoflondonsparadise

Freeride Millenium's IMPACT series serves up a second volume of innovative electronic sounds, this time from Delicate Features, On Bells, Venice Arms, Younger Than Me, Birds & Zamal.
IMPACT extends a lockdown conversation that label boss Jorkes had with Lisa Jäge about how essential parties are for freedom of expression. During those times, it was brought home that club culture is vital for exchanging ideas and feelings, drives change and provokes debate about everything from gender identification to sexual liberation. As such, the pair set up discussions under titles such as 'Clubs as Places for Freedom and Emancipation’ at the WAF Galerie that Lisa co-curates. Planned new talks will coincide with the two further instalments of IMPACT, the first of which manifests musically with this superb six-track collection.
Birds is East London's Katie Wilkinson, who fuses new wave 80s goth, techno, psychedelic and experimental on her shadowy and bleak yet alluring 'A Pointless Trip'. Enjoy the trip.

HRDF: Who are you ? 
B: A London based techno producer, DJ and live musician ambitiously blurring the lines between acid techno, EBM, electro and post-punk. 

HRDF: How did you discover this track ?
B: This track came out when I was 8 (and now I'm just turning 30 - I'm sorry if that makes anyone feel old) but it was a huge influence on a lot of the later Electro-Clash, Indie and New Rave that I spent my teens listening to (and blogging about in fact - I was a Blog House blogger). 

HRDF: Why do you choose to edit it ?
B: Eventually in 2010 I learnt how to DJ and this song was always one I used to crack out at the indie nights that I first started playing at, alongside a tonne of Nu-Disco and Post-Punk and Indie classics but there's never been a good edit of it (in my opinion). 

HRDF: What are your upcoming plans ?
B: My next live show is at Le Sucre with Cornelius Doctor and Juan MacLean on 4th March and then I'm off to Mexico to play a few DJ dates and then I'm back in London ready to DJ at Risen Festival in Hackney Wick as my first festival date of the year. Release wise - I've been taking my time with the next batch of songs as I've wanted to do something a little different with these songs. Expect a slightly tougher sound and wonkier (less 'chuggy') based beats. I often get booked on the 'dark disco' line-ups with people expecting tempos not to go above a certain BPM but I'm easily bored and like the challenge of bridging genres together and playing on more than 2 CD-Js and looping tracks so I actually move things around a lot genre and BPM wise and I want to make something that reflects that. Don't worry though guitar fans, there will still be some guitars strategically peppered in there. Essentially, I want to prove I'm not just a one trick pony. I want people to not know what I'm going to do next.

Wiener Planquadrat - Im Dschungel (Birds Remix) [IDI005 | Premiere]

Birds (@birdsoflondonsparadise) is Katie Wilkinson and she has her own popular radio show on Netil called Feed The Void which showcases her widescreen tastes. Her productions are just as broad as they mix up techno, 90s acid, electro and gothy 80's EBM and New Wave. They have so far come out on the likes of Hoga Nord, Ombra International and NEIN while she also contributed to this label's vital IMPACT compilation. She opens up this superb EP with 'The Chimes Of Solitude', which is five minutes of brooding electronics, slow dub rhythms and shimmering synths that awaken late-night spirits. 'The Island' is another mysterious and occult affair with dark bass and jittery drums. Heavily filtered vocals echo through them with twitchy acid flashes and mystic synth leads that serve to slowly hypnotise. The brilliant 'Dance Of The Cobra' layers up more stark analogue drums and gothic bass sounds with eerie synths that ring out into the darkness. More spooky spoken words and caustic acid lines add further intrigue while 'Fragments (A Song For The Dead)' closes with a slow but heavy techno kick drum, textural chords and jerking acid-laced rhythms that demand you march along in submission. This is a brilliantly bleak yet beautiful EP on Freeride Millenium (@freeridemillenium) that contrasts light with dark, hope with fear.

Birds - The Chimes Of Solitude [Freeride Millenium]

After releasing on Paradiso Records and Midnight People, Remi Wanless drops his new EP on Love Attack. As an 80s enthusiast, Remi is influenced by bands such as Depeche Mode & Talking Heads and you can hear it in the neat synthwork and driving percussion in his productions. Playing an eclectic range of italo, disco and electro, he grew a passion for cosmic and otherworldly bleeps and arps that have all come together to formulate a production style that truly reflects his taste in music.

PREMIERE : Birds - The Island

Rain Dance by Birds is the first release on Feed The Void, the record label that takes its name from her monthly Netil Radio show. The aim of the label is to shed a light on some of the vast influences that inspire the Birds sound and the music she plays throughout her eclectic DJ sets. Expect plenty of EBM, acid, trance, breaks, electro, slow prog, chug and more. This self release is just the beginning before a series of VAs containing some of her favourite artists and friends. 

The EP itself is a huge melting pot of electro bass-lines, Birds’ distinctive EBM / dark wave inspired vocals, wonky acid, industrial sounding broken rhythms and quirky, unhinged synth lines.

Closer ‘The Sands of Perception’ is a track inspired a passage from Aldous Huxley’s ‘The Doors of Perception.’ Tempo wise, we’re brought back to the mid range, whilst the ominous EBM inspired bass-line contrasts to the warm strings and uplifting vocals. It’s a euphoric ending to one hell of an intense ride.

Opening track ‘Trust Me’ sets the precedent for the EP and label with the lyrics “trust me, you’v not seen anything yet.” In other words, expect the unexpected.

‘Living With Liars’ opens with some pretty ferocious percussive drum beats before bursting into a spacey electro inspired bass line, interwoven with a squelchy distorted 303 and slick post-punk vocals.

‘Rain Dance’ is the heavy hitter of the EP, with a much higher BPM, an earth shaking amount of bass, a wonky MS20 line and fuzz guitar that seems to come out of nowhere. This title track is nothing like you’ve ever heard from Birds before which is why she chose it as the title track.

Closer ‘The Sands of Perception’ is a track inspired a passage from Aldous Huxley’s ‘The Doors of Perception.’ Tempo wise, we’re brought back to the mid range, whilst the ominous EBM inspired bass-line contrasts to the warm strings and uplifting vocals.

Birds - 'Freedom Is A State Of Mind' (Feed The Void)

Birds is the musical project of UK born, Netherlands based DJ Katie Wilkinson. Her music is a melting pot of Techno, 90s acid, Electro and 80’s EBM and New Wave, with her more recent material also incorporating more bass heavy sounds. She has released on labels such as Höga Nord, Ombra International, NEIN, Freeride Millennium, Hard Fist and Samo Records before founding her own label Feed The Void, a label which aims to showcase her eclectic tastes. She has also received a lot of love for for her captivating live sets. 2024 will see her release her first full length LP and the return of these infamous live sets. 

As a DJ, as well as through her music she exercises a never ending desire to explore sonic possibility and switch up genres continuously. Her sets reflect these curiosities and have an extremely transcendent nature to them; you never know whether you'll find yourself dancing to churning low tempo industrial techno, high octane acid bass lines, Italo, experimental Breaks or something far and between these things. Nothing is too weird or intense for a Birds DJ set. She has a monthly radio show on Netil Radio (the fourth Tuesday of the month 5pm-7pm), which is a residency that she's had for the past six years and is a regular face on local radio station, Operator. She has also played everywhere from Melbourne, to Mexico City, to Zagreb and many more locations around the world, sharing line-ups with the likes of Boys Noize, Pablo Bozzi, Jennifer Touch, Kris Baha, Marie Pravda, Ivna Ji, Martial Canterel, Perel & more.
