A long-standing favourite of ours as well as countless electro labels like Further Electronix and Altered Sense, Paul Hammock aka Cignol has been in the business of refined machine funk for over a decade. But naturally, his exclusive Bleep mix is less about looking back and more about the future. Stacked with a bunch of brand new, forthcoming and unreleased tracks from across Cignol’s arsenal of contemporaneous releases, the mix delivers an hour-long journey in non-stop 4/4, from squelching acid textures to laser beamed bass sequencers.

"I’ve put together a mix of mostly new or forthcoming tracks.  All hardware jams made using x0x, Miami, rd-8, 707, Juno-60, jp-08, Juno-06 and Sh01a if you’re interested in that kind of thing. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together!" - Cignol

“Loads of new modern rave tracks I properly rate to ease me back in to a life of DJing post-pandemic with a little unreleased VIP of mine and the odd classic thrown in for good measure… one take recorded in my front room on 2 CDJ’s and Technics 1210s” - @lone-1

The mix is equal parts soft and propulsive with each track blended, dropped, collaged and scratched for maximum resonance with the Motherbeat. Rollers from many genres are on the mix, including house, breaks, progressive, trip hop, techno, bass, dubstep, etc etc."

"This mix is intended to evoke the original spirit of the Artificial Intelligence series - electronic music intended for close listening, which can also cross over into a club music aesthetic. This is also my relationship with the AI compilations, I always saw them as a benchmark in electronic music which was "danceable" but also you could sit still and be immersed in it, listening loud on headphones. This has been my ethos for making music since the 1990s. Autechre ‘The Egg' is my fav on the 1st AI comp." - @nthnfk

Peppered by breakbeat vamps throughout and highlighted with various angles of electro from the year zero 2000s clash of Chicks On Speed to ROTCIV's recent worship of classic 80s claps and culminating in the one and only DMX Krew always keeping it frrressssh with their eternal take on the 808s - "Flipping and bleeping into this little trip inside a club."

"The Depths Of Space is my debut album for Over/Shadow. This mix is a selection of my own tracks (including one remix) that showcase the 8 tracks from the album, a track from each of my previous Over/Shadow releases, plus a healthy mix of tracks from my own label, Spatial. I've gone for key blends where possible, and I wanted to feature a selection that encompasses everything to me that makes atmospheric jungle/d&b the special genre that it's always been, with a 2023 twist on production techniques. Enjoy" - ASC

Aphex Twin has been a big influence on my whole musical journey and career as a DJ and now a big influence on my journey into my first steps into production and my debut EP - Congratulations.

Celebrating their second album after ten years, Kiasmos’ Janus Rasmussen offers a veritable who’s who of kindred spirits in the global club scene with his mix for Bleep. From soft piano led compositions to four to the floor techno, orchestral whispers and gliding synths, and emotive club action are the name of the game here, evidenced in the smooth flows and bright, crackling garage rhythms of Gryr’s ‘Letter’, or the moody sonics of Gidge’s ‘The Fells’ reverberating into lush, crisp Nordic air. Peppered with entrancing vocal cuts and raging bass-centred tracks, this mix strobes with epic highs and ghostly passages.

"For this mix, I aimed to create a laid-back vibe that gradually builds towards a dynamic finish, featuring energetic grooves from artists like Nox Vahn and O’Flynn. These tracks are a blend of my go-to selections for DJ sets, alongside some new discoveries that have been on repeat while working from home. I hope you find some inspiration in this selection and enjoy the journey." - Janus

In celebration of his latest soundtrack for Naqqash Khalid's directorial debut, In Camera, Warp alumni and celebrated producer Clark presents a cinematic soundscape in his Bleep mix selection, an aural long panning shot moving across films and composers both legendary and modern classic in status. Featuring Popol Vuh (Heart Of Glass), Howard Shore (Videodrome) alongside Disasterpiece (It Follows) and Cristobal Tapia de Veer (Utopia) to name a few, while further highlighting the juxtaposition in a bold move cutting the themes for both Solaris films next to each other.

“Really enjoyed compiling this mix of OST stuff I'm rather fond of. Yes it starts with an 8 minute track. But it's Popol Vuh and it has one of the most gorgeous end sections ever. It was interesting hearing the two Solaris themes next to each other. It's obvs more trendy to be all "oh I prefer the original Solaris score- and all the deleted stuff that only 3 people on Earth have heard" but I actually really like the Martinez version as well. It was interesting to me hearing the complete shift in timbre that 30 years of evolved music making tools bring-The slick slightly airlocked, clean layers of Martinez contrasting with the Artymev glowing, encrusted analogue 70's organs burnt to tape. But the emotional space feels similar.” - Clark

“This is a mix of some of the new tracks I have been working on and released along with some tracks that I am feeling right now. Great music that will both work in a club but also in the car when you are driving down the M25. When I was putting this mix together I was feeling more of a street vibe and that guided my ears somewhat while also keeping the variety.” - Adam F

From baroque splendour and drama to roiling abstract club propulsions and right back to the beginning again, CS + Kreme’s mix for Bleep is a journey paralleling the swirling sonic diversity of their latest album The Butterfly Drinks The Tears Of The Tortoise. As with the Naarm duo’s wide repertoire of abstract structures, acoustic melanges, and twitchy beats across the bass spectrum, this mix melts choral operatics and esoteric ambience into leftfield dancefloor punches. Breakbeats spewing in stop-start rhythms are spliced with the quivering experiments of Japanese band Boredoms, SOPHIE’s slippery elastic sound design, and a sprawling, flourishing harpsichord suite.

“This mix is possibly for that moment when you have to get in your car with a good sound system, a coffee at 6.30am and embark on a commute into life for the day. Or perhaps that moment when you're cooking a soup in the evening with a glass of wine listening with a reasonable pair of headphones.” - @cs-kreme

Celebrating their second album, South London supergroup Decius serve an hour of distorted club and mantra like lyrics in their mix for Bleep. Their brooding, idiosyncratic take on acid house evokes the underground mystique of EBM, its punkish tendencies alight in the drum machines, sultry acid stabs, and breathy vocals all over tracks from Decius Vol. II (Splendour & Obedience), their Decius Trax EPs, and unreleased gems. Early highlight ‘Ghent’ is full of morphing acid basslines and liquid synths matching the steamy performances, while elsewhere throbbing layers of electronics are dedicated to rhythmic expressions.

In Decius’ words: “'As with all our DJ sets, this mix consists exclusively of Decius music. We are not narcissists, we just love playing what we've made. It also means our sets contain some stuff that won't be heard anywhere else, as we don't release everything we play. Keep things spicy...!”

After giving us A Guide To Hellthier Lifestyle, Bjarki continues to provide with a conceptual companion mix to detox from the world’s ills, stitched with ironic infomercials and sarcastic self help tape skits. As Bjarki puts it: “It’s a wellness mix with a narrative that reflects the present moment. A snapshot in time, a map of the sounds and artists I keep returning to. Some of these tracks hold deep personal meaning, reminding me exactly why I’m drawn to music in the first place.”

Featuring a generous variety from the Throbbing Gristle extended industrial family, as well as Swedish composer Egil Kalman, Bjarki’s “relentless pursuit of wellness” runs from jaunty, psychedelically blurred 70s pop and early pioneering synthesiser musicians like Raymond Scott to the tangling guitar picks and acidic pulses of Biogen’s Sigur Rós remix, to Cyclone’s classic, euphoric bleep techno cut ‘A Place Called Bliss’ and the seminal Shackleton production 'Undeadman' reminding us everyone starts from point one. Ingeniously cunning and tongue in cheek as this mix is, there’s plenty of bliss in between Bjarki’s unreleased blistering rhythms.

Jefre Cantu-Ledesma’s mix for Bleep is a beautifully fragmented tapestry of sound - "a patchwork mix of audio explorations, covering territory coaxed from strings, percussion and digital/analog hardware/software". Compiled during a period of anxiety and existential crisis, the selections reflect both deep-seated influences and newfound discoveries, moving fluidly between the organic and the electronic, the delicate and the dissonant.

Featuring works from Kevin Drumm, Klein, Fennesz, Eli Keszler, and more, this mix offers a rare glimpse into the sonic world surrounding Gift Songs, his upcoming album on Mexican Summer. As an added treat, we have an exclusive retail edition of the record on translucent blue vinyl. In Jefre’s words: “I hope you enjoy.”

Renewed praise for Soichi Terada’s career also brings about well deserved reverence for his classic Ape Escape soundtracks, and with Ape Escape 1’s soundtrack getting its first release outside of Japan, Terada has given us a truly kaleidoscopic mix that leaves practically no sound or style untouched. An instant groove suddenly switches into metallic guitar shreds as Terada folds in countless left turns with bright, bubbly instrumentation just in the first few minutes. This super expressive, vibrant variety of synth funk, house, drum & bass, and more flies through dazzling sequences of techno-classical collisions, East Asian folk gabber, and brilliant yodelling and banjo twanging threaded into scrambling breakbeat rhythms.

"I am so happy to have this opportunity for a Bleep mix that was made from soundtracks of Ape Escape and Ape Escape 3. Let us be Apes listening to this mix!" - Soichi

For our latest Bleep Mix instalment, Sandwell District come through with a hefty programming of dark rollers fulfilling that promise of reinvigorated purpose they mentioned before: “Having a good time”. And with a wealth of exclusive unheard material it’s hard to refute the mission statement. Dropping straight into the cavernous environs of an unreleased Regis side Frosty Jack’s, the selection rides a restrained line building tension through a number of Nastia Reigel tracks deployed with utmost precision before upping its stride with Luke Slater’s Planetary Assault Systems and quickly landing first peak from The Wizard himself, with Jeff Mills' slamming ‘93 cut Step to Enchantment (Stringent). Taking in a track from their comrade Surgeon’s forthcoming album, as well as the simmering acid of their own tune Hidden, Sandwell District bring it back round full circle via two further unreleased reworks of heroes Meat Beat Manifesto providing a breakbeat singed rupture to close out the proceedings with the vocal snatches of MBM’s Helter Skelter summing it all up really: “It's in my brain now. This is it!”

In Songs in the Key of MP3: The New Icons of the Internet Age, Liam Inscoe-Jones explores five contemporary artists who broke the old rules of sound, style and the music industry at large: Devonté Hynes (of Blood Orange), FKA Twigs, Oneohtrix Point Never, Earl Sweatshirt and SOPHIE. Each began their careers as obscure outsiders but, over time, they helped to re-shape pop culture in their image. Through these five extraordinary figures and an eclectic supporting cast of dozens more, Inscoe-Jones paints a picture of the sonic landscape of the last ten years, exploring the influence of their dazzling music on pop culture, the internet and ourselves.

An unorthodox mix of criticism, biography and music history - and featuring interviews with the likes of Caroline Polachek, Daniel Lopatin and Nicolás Jaar - Songs in the Key of MP3 is a book of endless curiosity and wonder; a salutary attempt to define pop culture in a fast and ephemeral age.

NTS: Bleep Avril 14th / Aphex Twin Special

DD. Records was, and remains still, an inimitable insight into a treasure trove of astonishing talent from a unique and semi-hermetic society of musicians in Japan's early 80's DIY scene. In the space of just five years, the label released 222 cassettes of idiosyncratic, wilfully strange, and addictively bold experimental music from a small and tightly bound group of friends and collaborators. This music was almost always recorded at home and released on a short run of cassettes with homemade Xeroxed artwork (that was only distributed outside Japan by a single record store in the US). And - true to the label's creative remit - could be anything from avant-punk, experimental sound collage, early computer / MIDI programming, noise-pop songwriting, freaked-out ambient or countless other genre coinages found only here in DD. Records' singular canon.

Following his latest album Songs Of Love And Decay for Dekmantel, Broken English Club serves a mix of furiously scrubbing bass and strutting and stomping rhythms. The swirling signal scratches of Russell Haswell combined with Sunn O)))’s continuous pummel of guitars are folded into coursing industrial techno beats from Ansome as BEC layers four tracks on top of each other for an intense opening salvo of rhythm and noise. What follows is no less unrelenting: the electricity of Scalameriya zaps and groans like the pulverising kicks and thumps are eviscerating the track’s machinery, and Samuel Kerridge’s ‘Propagates Of Desire’ is an obsidian trip through thorn-riddled electro, with visceral, ominous, foreboding spoken word from Aaron Turner.

Fresh from Stochastic Drift, Barker’s buzzing second album named Bleep Record of the Month alongside an exclusive 12”, Barker sends a mix that really digs deep into the unique sonic methodology he has constructed across his solo career width a suitable breadth for what is also a milestone in the series, Bleep Mix #300.

From Debiasing to Utility to Stochastic Drift, Barker has been reimagining club music without its definitive thump, instead driven by melody and tactile synthesis, and this selection of tracks expands Barker’s soundworld with a host of artists walking a similar path. “For this mix, I picked out some of my favourite uptempo ambient tracks, recorded at home with two decks and a mixer. It’s music I've used in a lot of different contexts, as a DJ and listener, and I hope you enjoy it.”

Though the occasional dancefloor thump makes itself known, such as on Adriana Lopez’ ‘What Lies Behind’, it’s mostly in quaking subs rather than actual four to the floor, providing some ground for this mix’s airy freeform variety to fly over. We have the wooden plunks and seaspray of Afefe Iku’s Kenyan island sound, the wonky gamelan of Tyler Friedman’s maze of bells and chimes, the dense atmosphere of shaker-produced rain and electrical chirps forged deep in the ruins of The Future Sound Of London.

The midsection of this mix contains some magic in particular: the maestro of drumless trance Lorenzo Senni creates motion from pure jagged synth energy on ‘The Power of Failing’, dissolving into the aether of an unreleased Barker track, which further discharges into the kaleidoscopic stutters of Caribou’s ‘Never Come Back’ with jubilant piano chords and vocal clips wrought into a glitchy, swirling maelstrom of Koreless' prickly warmth. Digital Justice’s ‘Theme From It’s All Gone Pearshaped’ follows, a timeless staple for anyone wishing to dabble in melodic motion and synthsmithery, or any DJ set seeking to add some lift without losing momentum, of which this mix is in no short supply.

Sully has been totally locked in as of late with a steady stream of 12”s landing over the past year, and now with a mix for Bleep he’s showing off what’s up next. Amidst a handful of unreleased and forthcoming cuts from Sully and friends are cymbal hits barking in between gnashing, brawling breakbeats, fearsome bass wobbles, and engine revving purrs. Soulful, melismatic synthpop enters on Kid Lib’s ‘Jungle Days And Nights’, fractured into Tim Reaper’s jungle euphoria, leading to D*Minds & Bladerunner dropping heavy depth charges, Arcane stretching vocal clips in a drilling breakbeat collage, and Objekt’s murky tension on ‘Bad Apples’ with a molten jagged bassline, industrial whirring, and the pitch dial gone wild.

“No real agenda with this mix, just a taste of what I like playing out at the minute. Loads of breakbeats, some steppy numbers and some detours along the way. All pretty banging if you ask me though.” - Sully

Full Tracklist: https://bleep.com/bleep-mix-302--eli-keszler

To mark the release of his new self-titled LP on LUCKYME®, composer and percussionist Eli Keszler shares an exclusive mix for Bleep - a deep and haunting selection of music that mirrors the atmosphere of his latest work. From Vivaldi to Feldman, Stark Reality to Takemitsu, Keszler drifts through baroque, free jazz, minimalism and haunting folk in a dreamlike continuum.

“This mix is an attempt to capture a particular affect — the interplay of bright light and dark corners that’s run through my recent record,” says Keszler. “It’s not about style or era, but about color, mood, and contrast. A kind of emotional zone that lingers between high contrast, beauty and shadow.”

An extension of the Lynchian tension and impressionistic textures found on the new album, this mix reveals some of the DNA behind Keszler’s soundworld - full of sharp turns, ghosted melodies, and flickers of the surreal.

With his latest solo album Quiet Pieces initiating his imprint Soft Echoes, Abul Mogard mixes composers and collaborators that have permeated his discography and inspirations. An impeccable sense of flow and continuity defines these selections, as Mogard says: "I imagined this mix as an atmosphere you could inhabit – a quiet weave of pieces I’m drawn to. It’s a sound collage of old and new music, where tracks meet and overlap gently, carrying you along in a flow while subtly shifting the scenery beneath your feet." From groaning ambience to trilling winds and warm washes of glitching noise comes a frisson of flutes on Stefano Pilia’s ‘CADUX / Plectere’ over an all consuming rumbling bass drone. Mogard highlights vocals in the midsection: the hissing of ‘Anticredos’, Meredith monk’s harmonic conterplay with arrays of pointillist vocal notes, Félicia Atkinson’s spoken word barely rising from its quietude, before brewing a dense buzzing electrical storm of swirling currents and gyres with the final few tracks, the rugged and visceral clockwork of Rafael Anton Irisarri mechanically crumbling as William Basinski’s piano notes eternally intone.

Mark Van Hoen has been enjoying a retrospective moment in his career as he has collected for his albums on Dell’Orso Records, and this mix takes a look back at his many collaborations and bands since the 90s. Showcasing great range, Van Hoen has moved from complex analogue synth blips to snarling, sneering, sizzling shoegaze with ease. Sarah Peacock’s vocals come through bright and clear on Scala’s ‘Words & Thoughts’, while later tracks dive into gently shaking bass buzz with angelic voices swooping and gliding, and pulsating hypnotic slowburns. Soon, bittersweet and explorative sweeps of strings evolve into deep guitar grooves, plaintively tiptoeing synthpop, and thrashing blasts of guitar shreds.

PLZ Make It Ruins boss Vegyn has just released his debut LP after a run of singles on his own label, as well as working with the likes of Frank Ocean and Travis Scott. Here we see him pull some of his favourite tracks and go-to selections when playing live. 

"Playing a DJ set is so temporary that there's not much room for analysis. However, the permanence of an online mix is to me more akin to that of a tattoo - It's gonna stay with you forever! With that in mind, I tried to step away from modernity and instead have chosen tracks I find myself still listening to even after all these years."

In the light of Articulation, his new album for Erased Tapes, Rival Consoles shares a selection of tracks that compliments the producer's latest electronic opus perfectly.
Opening with the seemingly weightless yet driving pulse of Ostgut Ton's Barker, the mix moves deftly through further immersive cuts from Four Tet, Stimming & Marcus and the blissful breaks of Skee Mask. Before culminating in the fluid contemporary orchestrations of Actress x LCO and closing with the amniotic drone of Alessandro Cortini and the arpeggiated modular ataraxia of Caterina Barbieri.
Heads down vibes and after hours euphoria in equal measure to be savoured.
