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

To celebrate the release of her album Quivering In Time, Eris Drew presents a 2hour club ready excursion taking in 32 tracks of influences, dancefloor go to's and several cuts from her own aforementioned full length. Get ready to sweat.

"My DJ mix for Bleep is over 2 hours and includes a lot of music from the test press of my new album, “Quivering in Time” mixed alongside records from my collection. 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."

"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

Leading up to his debut Tresor release Backward Improvement, @ufo95ufo95 has prepared a mix of ultra forward motion and cavernous four to the floor thumps. Starting with tense dissonant chords and sparse hits reverberating in a sci-fi atmosphere, the mix launches us into an hour of hefty techno shuffles, and rebounding rhythms and rumbles. Alongside the unreleased cuts are select tracks from the Sandwell District crew, like ‘Hunting Lodge’ with icy grains flowing between synth stabs while heaving kicks pulsate and implode. “I made this mix on Ableton and added some 909 jams. The major part of the mix contains my unreleased tracks mixed with techno classics from Sandwell District, Silent Servant, Shifted & more. I went through deep, hypnotic, dub and club oriented techno during these 60 minutes.”

"This is a live DJ mix of AFX classics, a few edits, some material of his lesser known aliases and a bunch of unreleased tracks from his Soundcloud dump. 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. This feels like a full circle moment to have my debut record sold on Bleep considering I used to work there..." - @rajirags

Speedy J and Surgeon present Bleep with a three hour live mix of their FUSE 2023 set, following their debut album as Multiples entitled Two Hours Or Something. With no tracklist to go by, it’s just the pounding techno to guide us through, relentlessly driving with extended acid workouts and industrial flavours. Past the first hour, things get warped and otherworldly with celestial synth stabs, before descending into hardcore rhythms. All this is surely a taste of what’s to come at their Sónar by Day set in Barcelona, 14th June, which the duo’s comments on their FUSE set further hint at: “I remember it being one of the most punishing Multiples sets, but as is always the way, it was still really odd and alien,” recalls Surgeon. “I agree with Tony,” adds Speedy J, “we got away with diverting from the usual club show path.”

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

TYSON’s mix for Bleep is a well-curated sonic journey that feels like an intimate listening session in her living room - a glimpse into what London radio should sound like today. Celebrating her latest EP CHAOS on LUCKYME®, the playlist flows seamlessly through ambient jazz, alternative R&B, hip-hop, dub, and club sounds, showcasing TYSON’s diverse taste and deep connection to her peers. Featuring tracks from artists like Wu-Lu, Nubya Garcia, Steven Julien, and Fatima, alongside highlights from CHAOS, this mix offers a soulful and contemporary soundtrack to London living. 

In @tysonone’s words: “'Evening chaos, morning chaos, midnight chaos, daytime chaos.' To celebrate my new EP, I’ve compiled old-old and new-new favorites - hope you find something you like!”

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...!”

While our man casually sums up the proceedings as “some of the hits, some of the sleepers” these are all veritable audio gold to our ears. Whether you need an entry point or already a devout twigs acolyte, dim the lights and slip into this.

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.

We have been a fan of John Maus (@john-maus-official) for a long time, loved 'Love is Real' and listened to 'We Must Become The Pitiless Censors Of Ourselves' on @upset-the-rhythm on repeat,  so we are super excited for his new record out on @dominorecordco imprint @ribbonmusic and this mix that he has made especially for you.

Check the album here >>> http://link.bleep.com/John-Maus-Screen-Memories-LP

Armed with a keyboard loaded to the brim with melodies so catchy you will have to be admitted to quarantine to escape them, and more sing-along choruses than a karaoke machine on a Friday night, John Maus returns with his first new long player in six years - Screen Memories. A joyful return that further investigates the quasi-synth-pop and electrocuted soul that has made him a legend in our and many others' eyes and ears.

And yes, we Saw John Maus Live.

The Warp Records Bleep × takeover marked the last event at our pop-up shop in Dalston. Mira Calix, Plaid and Special Request all delivered sets that were energetic, playful and ultimately; incredibly fun. This mix from Plaid starts from the off at 100% and stays there till the end. From the first kickdrum to the final squelch, this is a constant roller bursting with heart palpitating energy.  60 minutes of pure vibrancy with a breakbeat or two thrown in for good measure - fitting for a final big blow out!

No frills or faff about this set, just banger after glorious banger from Warp kingpins.

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."

To celebrate the release of In Vitro on Delsin Records, Mark Stewart AKA Claro Intelecto has provided an exclusive Bleep Mix. 

“For this mix I wanted to cover a variety of tempo's & styles I've been writing over the years (that go beyond Peace of Mind!) & include a few things that people wouldn't ordinarily expect to hear from me. There's a mixture of older & more recent releases, along with some new unreleased tracks which are being played for the first time."

Full tracklist: bleep.com/features/bleep-mix-130-Rival-Consoles

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.

Vril spoils us on his Bleep mix. All of the tracks delivered by the German producer here are either Vril originals or remixed by him, and almost all of this material is unreleased at the time of writing. A generous offering indeed, but what’s more impressive still is how Vril knits together these broken-beat techno joints into a cinematic whole, one which maintains a propulsive forward thrust even as it explores dub-techno scientifics, dystopian synthscapes and the keys-led quirkiness of late-90s IDM. The fact that Vril bookends the mix with passages of weightless, widescreen ambience emphasises the evocative qualities of his music still further.

"The idea behind the mix was to focus on an IDM mix for more of a listening vibe rather than for the usual dancefloor live set. Also it includes lots new material and unreleased music from VRIL." - Vril

Mesh; the name brings to mind an underlying foundation, a wire frame for a crafted piece of art to ensure structural integrity. It’s an apt name for multimedia artist Max Cooper’s electronic imprint, where the MO is clattering rhythms and voluminous ambient vistas; sound as a vehicle for big ideas. Cooper’s exclusive Bleep mix celebrates the achievements of Mesh with a collection of works from their discography, featuring the ambient swells of Rob Clouth and some especially crisp breakbeat re-alignments from the likes of Reid Willis and Synkro. To top it off, there’s a couple of unreleased Cooper numbers you won’t hear anywhere else.

"Hi Bleep and listeners, many thanks for getting me involved on your awesome mix series. I've been really excited about the music we've been releasing on Mesh recently, so I decided to combine a lot of Mesh content with Laurel Halo's beautiful new remix of the Glassforms EP with Bruce Brubaker on Infine, and a couple of unreleased bits fresh from the studio which I've been playing around with in recent weeks and which probably won't be heard in their Bleep mix form anywhere else as they're still actively evolving pieces. It's a wander through some of the music which I've been using for escapism in recent times, rich with narrative and imagery if you can spare me some time with headphones on and eyes closed." - Max Cooper
