Ziúr’s music has always been difficult to classify. A longtime fixture in Berlin’s nightlife, the musician, producer and DJ has cut through decades of threads to arrive on a sound that accurately represents her journey. She’s sung, played guitar and drums and reduced club music to a burning cinder; with “Antifate”, her third album under the Ziúr moniker, she approaches electronic music without any preciousness or reverence to genre.
2019’s acclaimed “ATØ” re-introduced songs to her canon, contorting her vocals over an undulating electronic backdrop. On “Antifate”, she takes this idea further, pushing abstracted pop forms into mists of digital euphoria and extracting unexpected instrumental flourishes from collapsing clouds of distorted rhythm. Electronic instrumentation is melted into acoustic sounds and vice-versa, creating a breathing organic universe that’s entirely Ziúr’s.

“Antifate” is an abstract reference to the mythical land of Cockaigne, a utopia where wine flows freely and houses are made of cake, that provided escapist fantasy for medieval peasants. As the space between our private worlds widens, this fantasy becomes alluring once more - a place where we feel free, with the people who allow us that freedom. With this in mind, Ziúr crafts a soundtrack that’s fantastical and magical, hinged on the idea of closeness and connection at a time when distance is mandatory.

Ghostly voices echo wordlessly over clattering beats and dubwise bass on opener ‘Alive, Unless?’, while the album’s title track sings a more epic fanfare, with a chorus of voices echoing into glittering synthesizer pearls and volcanic kicks. “Antifate” is almost even theatrical at times, something never more evident than on the Talk Talk-esque ‘Fringe Casual’ with its dreamy piano and plucked bass and on closing track ‘The Carry’, where flute is introduced into Ziúr’s rapidly expanding narrative.

It’s tempting to say that this is the album Ziúr has been destined to make, but “Antifate” rejects this concept. Rather, this is the album that Ziúr needed to make now, surrounded by the people that have been able to offer her the place to do it. In mapping out her mythical paradise, Ziúr has produced an album that is deeply tender and inescapably human. It’s an album about freedom, and she has never sounded so free.
The album is mixed by James Ginzburg & mastered by Rashad Becker, featuring artwork by Stefan Fähler.

A true hero of UK underground music we are thrilled to have the one and only Warlock stepping up to the plate providing a special 2 hour session of all things dark in garage. A seminal figure in uk rave scene since the early 90s Warlock has carved unique path whether being involved in the early free party scene playing warehouse techno, playing forward thinking electro at vital parties such as haywire or even nowadays where his productions can be found on labels such as Sneaker Social Club; all of this only scratching the surface.

This one is not one to be missed, read more about the mix from the man himself below

“This mix captures the really exciting times that were the early 2000s. That 2-Step sound was a perfect melting pot for all the garage, breaks and drum & bass that had come before it. A cross section of producers taking influences from left right and centre. I’ve got fond memories of traipsing around Soho record shops like Black Market and heading down to Croydon to Big Apple, picking up these tunes, blagging promos, and then times spent at FWD particularly the early days at Velvet Rooms next to the old Astoria (all now sadly demolished).  It was a big influence on me at the time - just as I was setting up my label Rag & Bone Records which it was also a big influence on. Great days, overlooked for years but finally coming of age.”
