Retrospect 100 | Verlake (@verlake)

·

Welcome to the 100th anniversary episode of the series!

For MWTG, Verlake has prepared a nearly one-hour mix consisting exclusively of his own productions (100% unreleased!).

A producer and DJ hailing from Zielona Góra, with several years of experience in the Wrocław club scene. He has been living and creating in Warsaw for a few years now. He is the founder of the cassette label Laral Tapes (@laraltapes), which he runs together with Dextre (@dextredub). He also releases his music on labels such as Jungle Gym Records, Mystictrax, FASRAT, and Diffuse Reality, where his debut vinyl was released in 2022.

Both in his productions and DJ sets, he navigates the realms of dub techno and outsider house. On one hand, he is an enthusiast of lo-fi vibes, and on the other, an indefatigable seeker of a solid sound. You may associate him with playing warm-up sets at the dearly missed Das Lokal, his DJ and promotional activities at the O B I E K T club in Zielona Góra, as well as performances at Up To Date Festival (2022) and Garbicz (2017).

RETROSPECT 100: Verlake [Own Productions]

BUY VINYL: https://doc-sleep.bandcamp.com/album/cloud-sight-fade
Doc Sleep returns to Dark Entries with Cloud Sight Fade, an album of ethereal house and techno. Doc Sleep is the alias of DJ and producer Melissa Maristuen. Following 2023’s Birds, her ambient and IDM-leaning debut album, Cloud Sight Fade shows Doc drawing on her years of queer clubbing to bring us seven diverse tracks sitting between muscular New York house, Berlin twilight techno, and funky West-coast breakbeats. Production began in the Bay Area and was completed in Berlin; Maristuen says that this work became a love letter to the West Coast’s magnificent natural landscape, the light of the Pacific sunrise. While draped in dreamlike textures and melodies, this is also a record about embodiment and the memories that live within our corporeal forms. The powerful grooves on the breakbeat-inflected “Lemon Zest” and the propulsive “Cloud Sight Fade” remind us that dance music is for bodies dancing. Meanwhile, tracks like the sparkling album-closer “Enchanted Static” or the brooding groover “Water Sign” plunge us deeper into hypnotic depths. On Cloud Sight Fade, Doc Sleep guides us through slumber and wakefulness, in and out of our bodies, with the mastery of a seasoned DJ and clubgoer.

Ali Wagner is a multidisciplinary artist who contributed to our festival Kiek Beyond with her mad hatter’s tea party installation and general support during the the build-up. Based in London and hailing from Australia, Ali’s music selection offers a twist of soft, nostalgic sounds accompanied by her love for classic trance records. We are very excited to share this mix of hers. 

With the first part curated to inspire grounded reflections, it progressively moves you deeper with spacious groovers like Saoirse’s “Gentle Romance”. The second half features Ntel’s iconic acid trance track “Melt”, followed by some of her more old school records; leaving you with that euphoric sound she is seeking to bring to every dancefloor.

VisionsCast 019 with Ali Wagner

After debuting with his track 'Maniac Ambient' on Pregnant Void's 'Life After Awareness' compilation in 2022, we are thrilled to reintroduce the talented Italian artist, Distant Echoes, with his latest EP 'A Walk Into Sound'.

Already renowned for his hypnotic productions, Distant Echoes delves deep into the realms of ambient and experimental sounds in this new release. Across four tracks, he masterfully crafts a journey that evokes a sense of mystery and darkness, while also weaving in cinematic soundscapes.

The EP begins with 'Sottosopra', an enigmatic introduction that sets the stage for the exploration of Distant Echoes' universe. Transitioning smoothly, 'Buried Into Ashes' invites listeners on a serene and contemplative voyage, leading seamlessly into 'Bliss Arpeggi', the EP's emotional pinnacle characterized by a compelling arpeggiated melody.

Closing the EP with finesse, 'High For Today' delivers a poignant sense of acceptance and relief, leaving listeners with a profound sense of connection to Distant Echoes' landscape. 'A Walk Into Sound' is not merely an EP; it's an immersive experience, inviting listeners to embark on a transformative journey.

DETOUR, Pittsburgh mainstays behind the Hot Mass night of the same name, celebrate 10 years as a label with a double LP of the locally sourced, grassroots techno that’s been their raison d’etre since 2014. DTR-007 is a coming together of DETOUR members, long-time associates, rising local artists and members of the ever-expanding global Pittsburgh diaspora.

The result is a true reflection of the DETOUR ethos; a selection of ten expertly-curated tracks that is more than the sum of its parts; an homage to the city, its producers, DJs, dancers and the outsized influence they’ve had on the global techno underground.

DTR-007 ‘s ode to Pittsburgh electronics spans generations and genres. Booming maximalism from local originator Shawn Rudiman sits beside ace outings from already-accomplished next-gen producers Gladstone Deluxe, Davis Galvin, and Torvvo. After a spree of recent releases on Dark Entries and her own Jacktone imprint, Doc Sleep returns to the label for the first time since her 2016 debut EP with a slice of resonant deep house. Hot Mass co-founder Paul Fleetwood and perennial multidisciplinary favs, slowdanger appear on wax for the first time with levitating cuts of late-night hypnosis. Longtime modular enthusiast Nick Breinich commits a slab of true-school Midwest acid techno while DETOUR co-founders Naeem and Gusto each contribute tracks in signature styles. Naeem’s soaring electro melodics bring the compilation to an emotional peak before Gusto sends it off with an underwater broken beat chiller. The end product is an exhibition of steaming, sometimes-storming, always-deep heat calibrated precisely for your dance floor’s moodier moments.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FRIDAY FEB 7 2025 (Bandcamp Friday / Wildfire Relief)

LA is the ESP Institute’s hometown. The label’s captain, Lovefingers, is a native Angeleno who has lived in 15 of its neighborhoods spanning decades. While the ESP Institute was born in 00’s New York City with an international cast of artists, the DNA of the label has always been infused with the wild sense of freedom and space that is LA. It breaks our hearts to see the city and its residents in such a difficult position today. Our home and label’s office were damaged, the grounds incinerated and fire/smoke damage right up and onto it’s walls, and although it is still uninhabitable, we consider ourselves unbelievably fortunate that the structure was spared, surviving among our many neighbors whose homes are reduced to ash. Both the Palisades and Eaton fires have left so many of our friends and family with nothing – we collectively mourn not only for their physical space, much of which is generational, but for mementos of family history, their sense of security and ability to function from a safe sense of “home.” The grief and tasks of recovery are uncharted and ongoing, the rebuilding is daunting, arduous and overwhelming, and everyday brings new challenges in the fires wake. This will take time. If there is any light that we see in this, it is the prevalent sense of community we are witnessing in real time.

This is the 15th year of ESP Institute and we had an idea for a compilation planned, but, given the circumstances and the immense needs of our city and fellow Angelenos, we have decided to expand this release to 3x its initial scope and commit all of its efforts and income to wildfire relief organizations. We have initially selected the following vetted non-profit charities: CalFund, MusiCares, GiveDirectly, Global Empowerment Mission, Canine Rescue Club and plan to manually top up funds from circulating GoFundMe spreadsheets for under-represented families, commencing with those in Altadena. We anticipate a bi-weekly dispersal of funds, given the urgent and evolving nature of community needs, but will re-assess this consistently as time passes.

ESP’s artists have generously allowed us to present their music for this compilation and our gratitude starts with them. It is our hope the following 90 tracks will bring you something you need, whether it be joy, catharsis, wonder or meditation.

Thank you for your support from the bottom our hearts,
Andrew / Lovefingers & ESP Institute

Ákos Győrfy & Retroid - Close To Me (Original Mix)

For his last release of 2025, Always Friends delivers a darker, moodier 2-tracker to complement your holiday malaise. "Duloxetine" is reminiscent of late 90's atmospheric drum'n'bass with swirling pads, arpeggiated plucks, and plenty of haze in the mix. Unlike those old tunes, the bassline has a modern, punchy growl and the overall production is super clean and breakbeat-free.

"Quetiapine" is steady and balancing like the drug it's named after. Lush vox pads and shimmering synth runs are anchored by a simple bassline and punctuated with copious snare rolls. Take your meds and have a Merry Christmas!
