Absolute Favourites

Deep  / Hypnotic Techno + Ambient +  Electronica  Festival / live sets

K² is a music addict and 1990’s rave scene survivor from Oslo who occasionally DJ's. A vinyl freak for over two decades, his ever-growing record collection includes a little bit of everything – from ambient to deep house, acid and hardcore. And techno – lots of it. This mix explores the deep, driving, hypnotic side of his favourite genre, where current  “drone techno” stalwarts such as Milton Bradley and Giorgio Gigli nestle snugly alongside oldschool heroes like Orlando Voorn and Robert Leiner. One of the intentions was to bridge the past and the present: The oldest track is from 1992, the newest is from this year. 

K²’s favourite track of all time is “Elektra” by The Source Experience. The first record he bought was a Knutsen & Ludvigsen LP (apologies to non-Norwegians). He’s written a few hundred record reviews and compiled a techno CD with some friends to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Oslo’s oldest squat (Blitz) . He gets misty-eyed at the sight of abandoned warehouses and disused industrial sites. His motto is borrowed from Max Duley and goes like this: "Raving is a way of life. In fact, I'm raving right now. I'm going to bed soon and I'm gonna rave there too." If you like this mix, you may buy him a beer. Or a copy of “Uncharted”. 

See you on a dancefloor somewhere, androids.

MNMT 21: K²

Somewhere lurking under the last leaves on the ground, squirming and squelching with the mycelium and microorganisms, we find Timnahs sonic world tucked away in a sacred place. Taking inspiration from the natural world, she has solidified a name for herself as a purveyor of psychedelic rhythms and carefully curated cacophonies. As a resident at the renowned Elysia club in Basel, she has honed her skills further and expanded her sound into ambient and experimental territories. 

This edition of Unrush is a testament to Timnah's ear for the uncanny and sense for crafting a dynamic narrative. Solemn drones guide us like a soft breeze into the winter months, only interrupted by washes of organic textures and subtle electronics. We hope you enjoy this masterful mix from one of Switzerland's finest.

"Out now: the recording of my DJ set at Perpendicular Festival (for those who know ;) ). This year, I had the opportunity to play on Friday during the first hours of the festival. Keeping in mind that people were just beginning to arrive, the idea of the set was to balance between slow beats, downtempo flavors, and transitions into more dance-oriented movements.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did".

SPELLCAST #15 Patrick Russell Silent Servant Tribute Mix

Camu is next up on our Podcast series with a bewitching recording from last years Springkell gathering. The setting is a dim lit, softly furnished room of a Scottish rural estate with a fireplace gently crackling and whispering into the space. Everyone is quiet, sitting or laying still and diving into the sounds emanating from all four corners of the room, fully immersed in the ritual of communal listening 🐚

Camu is a Spanish born and based artist pulling at the deeper strings of ambient, drone and sound art informed electro-acoustic music. He is the co-founder of Madrid-based event space Especio Perpendicular that he co-runs with local group of fellow deep music enthusiats. Highly recommended for anyone in or visiting Madrid and looking for a night out of the ordinary 🌚✨

Charging headstrong into the cavernous spaces filled with drones, overheard field recordings, sounds hanging in earshot by the faintest thread, this journey is at the same time fragile and powerful. The dynamics flow with intent from barely audible to overwhelming, from fluid to abrasive, no stone left unturned in this microscopic survey of sound and emotion 🕯️

First episode of HATE exclusive podcasts with Ichinen (live recorded with Elektron Analog Rytm + 2 Elektron Analog Four).

https://www.facebook.com/hatecollective/

"Ichinen" was born from the strong connection between Roberto Bosco and Kiny, both founders of Last Drop Records imprint. The style is indeed a unique mix of different approaches and visions. The sudden encounter of these two souls marks a decisive synergy of sounds. Ichinen is determination at its purest form: relentless impulse, constantly striving for the realization of music in order to go beyond the ordinary logic of reality.
In 2016 they returns on their label with "A Morning Without Glory", the first official track under new Ichinen monicker with remixes by Dasha Rush and Etapp Kyle.
