* FULL INTERVIEW: https://boltingbits.com/mixed-by-emissive/

Fresh off his recent release on Vancouver staple Pacific Rhythm, Toronto-based artist Emissive (real name Evan Vincent) has been doing bits in his hometown and beyond. His 'Wave Science' EP is a house masterpiece. By virtue of the reel-to-reel used in its production, we hear warm and saturated analogue drums underlying soulful synth stabs and funked basslines, ultimately creating a uniquely hazy cosmic funk feeling throughout the record. In addition to his solo work under the alias Emissive, he is also one half of the house music duo Active Surplus alongside his friend Ian Syrett. It's safe to say, we're huge fans of his work here at BB HQ. 

Aside from his production work, Emissive is also an incredible DJ - hosting a monthly show on n10.as radio as well as performing live sets in and around his beloved hometown of Toronto. A listen through his recorded sets paints a picture of a mature musician, clearly influenced by the early Black American pioneers of house music - we thoroughly recommend you checking those sets out for yourselves too ; )  

We had a great time catching up with Emissive - here's what we chatted about....

For the non-montrealers Pascale Project might just be a producer on their radar, but for those living in this city and involved one way or another with the scene she is this wild, poised and enthusiastic force that simply can not go unnoticed. Whether unleashing 140 bpm rave joints with a punk attitude or crafting her extremely singular brand of lush and enticing house tracks (songs?), she just pushes forward, not second guessing her impulses towards dancefloor ecstasy in all its form.

Teaming up with La Rama -another essential force keeping Montreal dancefloors alive- Pascale is releasing a new EP, “Where’s The Party?”, where she finds herself asserting her will to dance and make you dance more than ever. We asked her a few questions about the new EP and her work. She was nice enough to let us know more about her process and to record a new entry in our Mixed-By series.

Corina MacDonald aka CMD has been busy recently, releasing two EPs in the last few months of 2021; Precarious Pursuit on Bandcamp and Social Factory Reset with the US label Fixed Rhythms. For Montrealers, her voice might be familiar from CKUT radio where she hosts the program Modular Systems every other Sunday. As a producer and DJ, she has performed at editions of MUTEK, Piknic Electronik, Igloofest, and in many of Montreal’s club nights and venues, where she fuses synth-laden aesthetics of acid, techno, electro, and house music. This mix is representative of some of her musical predispositions, setting the more abstract and ambient up against some techno and electro gems, mixing up the old guard and newcomers alike.

Next up in the BB Mixed By series is multi-faceted producer and DJ Unkown Mobile aka DJ Leaves. A staple within the Canadian scene, and eclectic as ever - just have a listen to some of his releases and you will notice how they vary considerably. From his club stomping EP for Planet Euphorique to the etheral spacey soundscapes found on his Pacific Rhythm LP - the Vancouver native never fails to surprise us with each release, whilst still maintaining his distinctive hazy sound. We are gassed to have had the chance to speak to him, and here is what we chatted about....

Marking his debut on Sufrimiento Records, Del Olmo steps into a different sonic territory with four ambient and experimental compositions. Departing from his club-oriented work, he unveils a more introspective side—woven with celestial synthesizers, gentle piano lines, saxophones, and a strong undercurrent of jazz and broad musical influences. It's a deeply immersive offering that rewards close and repeated listening.

On the remix front, Pathfinder, Wretla, and wemory each bring their unique touch, crafting tracks perfectly suited for distinct moments on the dancefloor. Their interpretations maintain a delicate and emotional thread, wrapping up the release with a graceful sense of cohesion.

Guava returns to Faux Poly as the first artist to release a second EP on the label. Shifting gears into a faster, Techno-focused territory all whilst breaking up the EP with his immersive signature oscillating Dub-Techno-esque atmospherics. This new record is a departure from Afterglow, further embracing light and dark moods with a hypnotic intensity throughout that feels both urgent yet deeply considered.

This release opens a new chapter for Guava, as he embraces the weight and velocity of the dancefloor without sacrificing his signature playfulness. The result is a dynamic, high-energy follow-up that solidifies his evolving sound making ’All Out’ the perfect next step for both the artist and the label.

Words from Guava:

"This record was written in a flow state. For me, it was the most enjoyable EP I’ve made, and I think you can hear that in the music. It came about due to a slight shift in mindset regarding the creative process. I started by making an Ableton template as a way to limit my options. I spent a couple of days trying to nail a sound - referencing and experimenting with different instruments. I would then set a timer and “mess up” what I had created. The deal was that I could do anything I wanted.

This approach was a game-changer for me because it created a cohesive sound across all the tracks. A lot of my process was inspired by one of my heroes, Alexander Rodchenko, a photographer and graphic artist from the Soviet Union. What fascinated me most was the limitations he worked with - he didn’t have access to the fancy digital tools we use today. There was something about that constraint that I envied, and I wanted to bring a similar sense of restriction into my own creative process."

PREMIERE: Guava - All Out

tactual’s fourth release, Love As Consequence, comes from co-founder inesse, the uk-born, now copenhagen-based producer & DJ. alongside remixes from Jurango and LFL, the EP explores the producer’s commitment to broken and driving uktechno.

playing with dusty, scattered rhythmic structures, the tracks seek to add to the continuum of percussive, dynamic and forward-reaching dance music.

stripping the original tracks down, Jurango delivers a pulsing, low-end driven remix of Poltergeist, while tactual co-founder LFL morphs Towards Language into a sleazy, rolling club-tool.

it’s an EP about action, consequence, and fighting for the things that you love.

At the crossroads of genres, Last Chance gives birth to Past Forward. On this second project, the producer plays with the codes of trancy house, blending them with a genuine love for dark disco! This year, Last Chance has refined their musical identity—shaped by frequent trips to Berlin—infusing their tracks with a strong new wave influence. Still enamored with nights spent lost in synths, Last Chance takes us on a retro-futuristic journey deep into the 80s, into a no-tomorrow cyberpunk dystopia where only the dancefloor matters.

440 Hz is a producer and relentless digger based in Nantes. With a background in sound engineering, he explores the fringes of bass music through hybrid textures and sharp sound design, with a strong focus on detail and impact. His new EP, Transient, reflects this approach — a project that’s both introspective and physical, shaped by influences from the Australian and UK scenes (Iota, Ok EG, Sam Brickell…).

Blending ambient and bass, Transient brings together airy melodies and dense low-end, driven by tight, organic rhythms. A sense of nostalgia runs throughout, echoing childhood memories and raw sonic tension. Two remixes by Neida and Portway extend this dynamic with their own distinct textures.

Spotted on labels like Krakzh (Théo Muller) and Jerry Horny, 440 Hz has performed on stages such as Astropolis and UBU. His live sets showcase a precise and ever-evolving musical vision.

Drawing inspiration from ‘90s breakbeat and big beat nostalgia—think The Dust Brothers, Propellerheads, Fatboy Slim, The Prodigy, among others—paired with the a more modern flair, FUNKTHEPOPULATION by Yablochko Zelenoe gives the beloved sound of the ‘90s a massive resurgence. Drenched in infectious raw grooves and packed with hip-hop and heavy metal influences, it’s a spewing fountainhead of optimism for global headbanger syndicates.

“Poison” is unrelenting and rugged, with unsuspecting switch-ups and breaks that keep the listener on their toes. Idealistic rave stabs are peppered with soulful, energizing vocals.

“Groove Street Hooligan” is lowrider-approved, with saucy leads, busted Three 6-style vocals, acid basslines, and tough recordscratches—all repurposed and dialed in for 2025

“2001 Tats” will send any summer party into a frenzy with its catchy riffs and percussive swagger—a menacing DJ’s secret weapon on the dance floor.

“Everyday Underdog” throws back to the grungy elements with its crossover of hip-hop and rock—sounding like something you’d hear at a Prodigy concert: stripped-down, loud, and full of bite.

“Digger Girl” is a heart-filled optic core energy anthem—simple yet effective in its approach, glowing with golden hour radiance.

Yablochko Zelenoe revives the past as he mutates it into something futuristic and entirely his own.

PREMIERE: Yablochko Zelenoe - 2001 Tats

00:AM! Where do we begin – although, if you’re a Montreal reader, chances are you don’t really need an introduction to this prolific trio – they’re literally everywhere! And damn do they deserve to be, after three years of regularly gracing us with a plethora of crazy, crazy acts from around the globe, invading unassuming Montreal pubs with sound, smoke and lotsa sweat in local-DJs-only Pub Club parties, and, as of last year, combining their cosmopolitan links with their dedication to community in releasing their first V/A record as the 00:AM label – you really can’t fit all their work in one sentence… buy fear not we’ve got an entire interview!

We had a little chat with them not so long ago; the guys reflect on three years of hard work and hard partying together in Montreal, share some personable anecdotes and hot tips, and even clue in on the next V/A release! Enjoy the read whilst listening to their Mixed By, kindly recorded for as whilst on support duties for Galcher Lustwerk at Newspeak Montreal.
