recién vengo de escucharte en LAB, temazo de la noche

Peachlyfe (they/them) is a hydra-sonic electronic musician that shook & seduced the Copenhagen fast-paced techno scene, claiming their seat along with Endurance and Fast Forward.
Peachlyfe’s productions and live-sets rebelliously weave across genres, trippy melodies cut with heavy slaps while whispering in your ear about the dismantlement of the ‘cistem’. Their EP “All Tits are Real, All Money is Fake, All Hail Satan” is an ode to that anarchic-playfulness, a marvellous feat in blending rave-rush joy and queer defiance.
In early 2022, Peachlyfe releases “Against All Reason” on marum’s and BLEID’s label suspension, a 4-chapter tale through soundscapes of glitch, trancey dunes and euphoria, a vision excitedly in synch with the wave of dancefloor reopenings. 

“Against All Reason 1” opens with a cryptic and urgent sound-manifesto that envelopes the ideas behind this release. Prompted by the central question of Susan Schupli’s documentary “Can the Sun Lie”, Peachlyfe investigates que question of “reason”, a driving-question that appears in previous releases but under different shapes - the cis-hetero patriarchy that dictates which bodies, tits or dixx, expressions or sounds are respectable (or not). Those who challenge such canons are deemed ugly, inferior, swamp monsters. And so what? Against all reason, we love the swamp!

As the tone is set, “Against All Reason 2” blows it all up. The existential question is answered through gallopant beats and progressively euphoric harmonies, nudging the body straight into a glorious dance, followed by “Dance the Day Away” that steps up the parade with their seductive pace overlaid with a mesh of sexy sounds soaked on high-tone energy and joy - undoubtedly the uplifting anthem for 2022 we all needed. 
The deep slow burn “Creature Feature” journeys through looming synths and distant vocal-echoes, eventually jolted with a punching heartbeats, creating an other-worldly trip. The perfect closure of this album that so harmoniously seems to thread conflicting feelings and sounds, making space to cheerfully embrace the unknown, against all reason.




Against All Reason

Who lies in the name of the sun? We do, we do, we do, we do! 
Who knows where the stars are supposed to be? We do, we do, we do, we do!
Would you bend the light so I seem bright? Of course, love, anything for you!
Who lies in the shade until noon? Not us, no way, we dance, all day!

How should the ass look? How should the tits feel? To where should the dixx point, if they ever point?

Your eyes will deceive you! Your ears will deceive you! Your tongue will deceive you!

Do not trust your eyes! Do not trust your eyes! Do not trust your eyes! If they get the chance, they’ll stab you in the front! There are countless examples. Just take a look!

Do not trust your memory! Do not trust your memory! Do not trust your memory! If the right moment comes, It’ll rip out your eyes! Good riddance anyway!

Smell the radio! Listen to the flowers! Taste the music! Dance the day away

Imitate yourself! Imitate others! Imitate an image! It’ll be far more trustworthy than whatever they’re showing through your local window!

Who lies in the name of the sun? We do, we do, we do, we do! 
Who knows where the stars are supposed to be? We do, we do, we do, we do!
Would you bend the light so I seem bright? Of course, love, anything for you!
Who lies in the shade until noon? Not us, no way, we dance, all day!

"
When I met some people they say please don't change,
please don't change, just keep like that. Why are they saying that?
Because probably all the people is changing.

I create
Believing in what I do
Believing in the music I play
Believing in the music I create
I just follow those factors

Peachlyfe, Hasvat Informant - Bowser Bump

To speak to Luca Daniel Schwarz aka LDS about his music is to be enthusiastically guided into a complex world of his own creation: clean and powerful techno which pulses with life from the textured patterns and drum sequences that have fills and accents that would make anyone who's picked up a set of drumsticks envious.

Yet this ecosystem of noise is deceptive; Schwarz's process for making music is very different to how a live drummer would create the same subtlety of performance. Forever researching new technology, Luca got deeply interested in different programming languages, and created a series of probability based music tools for manoeuvring sounds and sequencing.

Manipulating those probabilities takes a skillful alchemy, needing understanding of both musical structure and how the tools he devised work. To return to the drummer analogy, if the drummer is focussed and intentional in the moment of playing, then the method used in LDS tracks is almost diametrically opposed, with all of the intention coming in the assembly of the instruments, potential paths, and gateways; once play is pressed the music flows, following all the rules that were set in advance, not unlike a domino run or Rube Goldberg machine.

And like a domino run, the results are fascinating and, ultimately, fun: staccato vocals pop in and out in 'zipp prompt'; laser-like synths pulse; background noises sweep across the aural plane of the dub techno of 'diff, blockmix' and 'pow' adding texture that brings vitality all-too-easily missed out when complex mathematical processes become entwined with music creation. The high sensitivity to texture and rhythmic detail in Stadion Progg is multiplied further on Jean Redondo's remix - whose track, Hypersonic, was the backbone of 2023's 'yet' compilation on Tresor.

The balance between technology and a sense of fun might also come from the maker; it's not easy to overstate Schwarz's passion for what is now his favourite way to make music, "it never gets boring. There's always a moment of anticipation to see what actually emerges." And the true "power of 2" comes into play when the resulting music can be fed back through the system again and again, potentiating the music in exponential ways.

Barcelona-based producer Ikari debuts on NIX with When It’s Over, a tightly constructed EP that brings together the weight of low-end pressure with crisp percussive detail. Built for the club but with a strong emotional pull, the release folds bass-rooted aesthetics into tightly wound techno frameworks, led by carefully sculpted sound design and a deep sense of mood.

Each track acts as a standalone world, but together they form a cohesive whole, driven by feeling rather than formula. There is a subtle melancholy running through the release, not overbearing, but present in the tonal shifts, textural tension and soft-release moments that flicker throughout. It is a record that sharpens Ikari’s already distinctive voice, pushing his technical process further without losing the raw edge that defines his work.

On When It’s Over, the focus isn’t on maximalism. Every choice feels deliberate: harmonic details, spatial effects, rhythmic structure. All of it is aimed at stirring something visceral in the listener. It is the sound of an artist locked into his own narrative, inviting us to step in.

PREMIERE: Ikari - Thermometer [NIXW003]

DJ SUN - Layers Of Emptiness (Toobris Remix) - Otium Records 

Layers of Emptiness cuts straight to the core of a modern techno scene fixated on quantity over quality. It’s the race to layer four decks at once, to push the BPM higher, to cram in as many drops and transitions as possible—all at the expense of genuine soul. There’s an eerie hollowness in these overstuffed sets, a frantic desire to be the loudest or the fastest rather than the most heartfelt. It’s a reminder that sometimes, in chasing all the layers and effects, we lose the raw spark that originally drew us to the music. Layers of Emptiness peels back those endless loops and reveals a stark truth: speed and complexity mean nothing without the pulse of real emotion.

With My Science, Fro delivers a sharp and uncompromising electro statement. Based in Athens, host of the Slam! parties, resident member of Society 3000 and Cannibal Radio, and one half of Monodroids, Fro channels his EBM, synth wave and electronic rock influences into a raw and futuristic sound.

Across six tracks, distorted machine grooves collide with phantom-like vocals, dark melodies and tense atmospheric layers. From driving club cuts to more obsessive and mechanical moments, My Science explores the cold precision of analogue circuitry and human desire.

The EP is reinforced by remixes from Hylian Fields and Lemon Schaden, each reshaping the original material into their own distinctive electro vision.
