SUCHI is a resident DJ on boxout.fm and the host of ’Through The Smog’ which explores her evolving taste in leftfield and club-focused electronic music. Aiming to converge her cultural backgrounds, her varied selections combine the right touch of rhythmic percussions, nostalgic 90s UK breaks, pumping house, electro and techno - an eclectic approach that comes from her close links to local producers in all three of her hometowns.

SUCHI SELECTS 2021 (boxout.fm recordings)

Release Date:  31st July , 2021
Label: Boxout.fm Recordings

Almost a year after it singed a cavernous, unpluggable hole in the consciousness of Indian hip-hop, morèno & Alf4zi’s Ginza gets the rap sandwich remix treatment from two certifiable OGs. 
 
The Chicago-born, cross-cultural bass star Shivani Ahlowalia aka ALO WALA jumps in with an untrammelled, smack-you-upside-the-head verse that effortlessly rides the song’s propulsive rhythm, while Aftershock Records' original don dada MC RiSK brings it home with his signature, smooth-but-menacing energy, laying down the kind of blistering verbals that batter your auditory cortex exactly how you want them to... and then have you sticking your head out for seconds. 
 
Ginza v2.0 brings the meat, the heat and all the trimmings that go with it - a deliciously glorious thrill ride in which everybody is a willing passenger. 



Produced by : morèno
Lyrics written and performed:  Alf4zi, Alo Wala & RiSk

India COVID-19 Relief - DJ Koco [16-05-2021]

Protest music is unadulterated wrath, organised rebellion, it is anger - but it is also love, healing and family. Everything we do at boxout.fm serves to empower, support and lend a voice to communities. Ours, and yours too.

In recent weeks, the skyrocketing violence in Palestine and Israel has claimed the lives of hundreds of innocent people, and wounded and altered the lives of thousands more. Senseless horrors steeped in generations of hate, that the world tells us can never change. We see and hear the bombs and accept that nothing can be done. We observe the open-air prisons in Gaza and the barbaric resettlement of native Palestinians in the West Bank with heavy, broken detachment. Images on screens that feel akin to museum exhibits, hideous figments from the history books, reminders of the worst of humanity's sins. But this really is happening right now, on this earth, as we live and breathe. The ground shakes beneath Palestinian feet as we try not to watch. And a heavy atmosphere of coerced self-censorship continues to take lives. 

The term apartheid has increasingly been used in relation to Israel but usually in a descriptive or comparative, non-legal sense. On April 27th of this year, Human Rights Watch released a thorough 224-page report concluding that Israel's actions are tantamount to apartheid even when interpreted in a strictly legal sense, rising to the standards set by the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid, and the Rome Statutes.

This unimaginable tragedy must end. We must educate ourselves, speak out fearlessly, and collectively pressure the world's powers to end the crimes against humanity once and for all. We stand with the people of Palestine in their right to freedom.

Tune in to our combined broadcast with Radio Alhara this Sunday, Monday and Tuesday this week. On Monday, we will broadcast 12 hours of original contributions from 14 boxout.fm resident hosts.

But more importantly, please educate yourselves, empower yourself with information, and pressure your elected representatives.

Sonic Liberation Front - Uday Kapur [31-05-2021]

Berlin-based producer CEE and prolific British poet-MC Rider Shafique make their heavy-hitting return to boxout.fm recordings following up on their 2020 single "Worldwide" with a brand new link-up, "Watch", featuring Carnatic singer, Shrii. CEE takes inspiration from his previous work with Berlin club circuit mainstay, Al-Haca Sound, in blending Shrii's hypnotic vocals with Rider Shafique's menacing bars over a GQOM and Dub inspired backbeat. Speculative and psychedelic, "Watch" is both a celebration of global electronic music cultures and an ode to the pulsating rhythms of the underground.

Lyrics:

I flow again, Shafique on the riddim still showing them, unique steez, blowing like the breeze, keep growing, let me glow again, let me shut the show down, the shogun of sound, keep pressing, leave them guessing here we go again

Watch

Witness Shafique slew the track, I’m a slave to the riddim I behave like a fiend, ever blessed ever green, reconnect with the team, new vision new blood - new surrounds same dream,

I know that they’re looking and they’re listening
Keep them guessing as I live my dreams
Keep it moving, no settling
Rewrite the rules as we defy the scene

Marbman’s ‘Unhindered Self’ is an ethereal cut perfect for headphones or the dancefloor. As heady synth pads initially give way to a restless rhythm section and classic analog house melodies, we’re taken on a journey through some gloriously glitched-out textures. Marbman delivers a dreamy and dance-ready track, which is somehow both 4 minutes long and eternal in it’s atmosphere.

Unhindered Self is the 4th single from the forthcoming compilation, SUCHI SELECTS - the first in a series of compilation releases by boxout.fm's resident radio hosts.

Monophonik and TRAFFICC cross paths on “Out Of Mind” which feels like the ideal accompaniment for a late night drive through a cityscape from the distant future. Blending the analog aesthetics of 90s elektro with tight drum patterns, distorted textures and a futuristic outlook, “Out Of Mind '' takes its listeners on a journey that blends the best of classic and hypermodern electronic ambience.

Sijya’s “Have To Make My Bed” is late-night bedroom introspection delivered through heartfelt electronica. As her sighing voice proclaims “I’m tired” and “maybe not today”, a looping pattern of mellow keyboards and ominous drums become wrapped in gorgeous swells of synths and the kind of nocturnal atmosphere made for after-hours ambience.

Have To Make My Bed is the 3rd single from the forthcoming compilation, SUCHI SELECTS - the first in a series of compilation releases by boxout.fm's resident radio hosts.

Beyun is a producer, DJ and runs the label Vault Wax. Born in the Philippines and then moving between many countries throughout childhood, Beyun has difficulty calling one place home. Her DJ origins are rooted in Boston, where she founded the monthly party "Vault" with Bob Diesel—which ran from 2015 to 2017 at Middlesex Lounge. In 2017, Beyun moved to Atlanta to work with DJ Pierre as the A&R director and label manager for Afro Acid, Jack Trax, and Afro Deep until mid-2019. Beyun then founded Vault Wax, which saw its first three releases in 2020 from Black Cadmium, 30303, and herself. Beyun is now based in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

About the mix:
I'm going through a significant change in my life right now, having just moved to the Netherlands from the United States. This mix reflects my current circumstances and state of mind: moments of calm attempting to settle amidst overwhelming chaos.

A mere hours-long link up between Mancunian legend Zed Bias and arguably one of India’s most exciting young talents - Stain - has conjured up ‘Delhi Birds’, a wobbling, chasmic bomb to fire up those tired old synapses. Named for the numerous birds that Dave (Zed Bias) heard while eating lunch upon his arrival to India’s capital, ‘Delhi Birds’, while lean in its nature, distillates the tough, urban landscape of this beguiling city into addictive, electrifying pulses. 

There’s an intoxicating funk present all through ‘Delhi Birds’ that will delight dance floor operators across the oceans and leave hordes of punters bouncing off the club walls. You’re advised to proceed with caution.

Riding high off a string of club-smashing Mollywood releases, New Delhi production and DJ duo MadStarBase are out with their first official single on boxout.fm Recordings. 

For the appropriately-titled ‘First Kiss’, MSB re-enlist their ‘1k on the Gram’ collaborators - Vancouver wordsmith Sik Vik and New Delhi rap OG, MC RiSK. 

First Kiss is exactly what its title suggests - lust, yearning, flesh, blood, and tongues - intimate bedfellows buttressed by a low ‘n’ slow soul jam from first breath to last gasp. As formidable in the club as it is in the bedroom, First Kiss finds its inspiration in the dark, with the curtains closed and the lights low, where saintliness and hedonism collide. True renaissance shit for creatures of the night. 

MadStarBase are Ase and Neal.

Everybody hit the deck. With his first Hindi single ginza, Mumbai’s @musicmoreno slaps open the proverbial door of the rap game with hydrostatic production and sampling chops that burrow deep into your brain. 

It’s no-frills-attached, floorboard-rattling, mosh pit sh*t that instantly paralyses your supraorbital system, followed by a 10-ton gut punch of funk to take the wind out of you for good. And when you think you’ll finally walk again, @Alf4zi saunters in unhinged on a high wire of causation and conviction with an acid-washed mind map of bars to singe permanent holes into your fragile subconscious. 

In the words of Chuck D - I smell a riot goin’ on.

boxout.fm returns to Magnetic Fields Festival for a second consecutive showcase from the dungeon, featuring boxout.fm residents MadStarBase, MC Soopy, Lush Lata and thegreybox plus a very special guest, JAEL.

Giovanni Jano, better known as JAEL, is a Moluccan recording artist, producer, DJ and vocalist from The Hague, The Netherlands. His passion for music began as he grew up in a household surrounded by Moluccan folk songs, gospel, soul/funk and Japanese funk. JAEL embraced these sounds together with a broad variety of inspiration and combined it into his own signature sound: going from soulful R&B to heavy bass and future beats during his DJ sets but also in his production and songwriting. He has been showcasing his skills in these different genres all over the world.

boxout.fm Showcase: Magnetic Fields 2019 - JAEL [14-12-2019]

Modular synthesist and classically-trained vocalist Arushi Jain, the artist formerly known as OSE, conjures a passage to the netherworlds in her debut single for Boxout.fm Recordings. 

As synthesizers swell and filters sweep, ‘Aaj Jaane Ki Zid Na Karo’ - written by Pakistani poet Fayyaz Hashmi about the abstract nature of heartbreak through separation, and popularised by ghazal singer Farida Khanum - provides the song’s spectral point-of-departure. Snippets of the famous ghazal are granulated by Arushi and employed as percussion to form Zid's most infallible cornerstone - an interplay between the human and the mechanical.   

Voices, as taut as they are tender, play metaphorical hide-and-seek with the song’s driving kick drum and cloister the listener in a womb of sound that is blatantly emotional and beautifully fragile. Arriving at a time when futures seem fractured, Zid’s combines heritage and the present to provide you the kind of  salvation you didn’t know you needed.

Arushi Jain - Zid
