The boldly titled new release on Nous’Klaer might not sound like what you expect. ‘Trance Unlimited’ is a four-track-run full of kicks and curiosities, crafted by dj/musician/label owner Benedikt Frey. Though this versatile producer is new to the label, he sounds perfectly at ease, providing us with a warm and balanced 12 inch for dancefloor fun and bumpy road trips. 

After releases on Hivern Discs, Live At Robert Johnson and his own Love Pain Sunshine & Rain, Benedikt Frey explores new rhythmic ranges and phasing patterns on this EP. Whilst all tracks are dancefloor-ready, it’s the A2 that’s the raving giant: Trance Unlimited.

Operator - Lonely Man [11] - 7th September 2020

The streets were crowded with people coming and going, some posed with eccentric prowess whilst others moved between the shadows doing the best that they could to slip beneath the radar undetected. From his balcony he watched them weave and wander between one another, people watching at its very best. He told himself their stories without ever having met each soul. It was as if he knew their far flung reality but really all his hallucinations and fantasies were wild guesses, a notion upon a city landscape without reason.

Steve Summers is set to release a new EP on CLEAR, a heavy hitting, gnarly acid and hardware affair. Rough, rugged electronics and a killer DIY approach, it doesn't disappoint.

PREMIERE: Steve Summers - People Watching [CLEAR]

We are excited to present Timothy J. Fairplay as yet another addition to the Mutant Radio Family, with his new monthly show “Dungeon Module”. The first episode is following his night in London of the same name. Two hours of Wave, weird synth, Electro & Techno.

Intergalactic Gary & Pasiphae / SILF
[12" Vinyl / Digital]

Third number in the DDS split series after a pair of releases courtesy of Betonkust/Új Bála and DJ Overdose/Sematic4, ‘DDS03’ sees Budapest duo SILF (alias Farbwechsel chief-operators Alpár & S Olbricht) and Den Haag-based pair Intergalactic Gary and Pasiphae join forces on a quartet of elusive, unpigeonholeable power moves.

Four years after the drop of their debut joint EP on Biorhythm, ‘Made of Glass’, I-G and Pasiphae are back at it with two left-of-centre hybrids of futuristic techno on a whirring electro-industrial tip. An off-kilter jam percolating fine hints of spiritual elation and post-apocalyptic anxiety, ‘Microwaves’ gets the ball rolling on a dichotomous note. To slo-scudding flocks of loud, bouncy kicks supersede skeins of brittle chimes and rattling drums, all woven together by subtle tectonic shifts of moody pads.

A further hi-intensity affair, ‘Indistinct Chatter’ drives that essential heavenly/nightmarish duplicity to higher spheres of consciousness. Fusing lighthearted, daydreaming tonalities with brooding, cavernous onslaughts from the depths, the track has us navigating in a zone of its own, deftly oscillating betwixt moments of mystique-imbued euphoria and darkling introspection. A choice exponent of the Hague-based dyad’s capacity at busting antiquated patterns and limitations.

Having slept in the label’s vaults for a few seasons, the two tracks composing the B-side emerge from their slumber in all their time-proof bravura. An in-your-face trampler, the ten-minute long ‘Mono Miner’ takes no byway to get its point across, all set to smash basements and warehouses by the dozen with its electrifying compound of 909-emulated gut churn and spinning synth arpeggios circling like birds of prey over your sore, rhythm-enslaved carcass.

Closing the journey on a much softer, hazier vibe, ‘Aces’ steers us towards a realm of ambient wonder, where slo-drip cascades of tapping percussions and elegiac synth waters flow into warm, glimmering summer beds. A most contrasting, tranquillising finale to an EP defined by its propensity to change colours and intensity throughout. /Baptiste Girou/

However, his addition to our podcast series is a side of him we didn’t know, he created a special self-produced ambient set from his home studio. Tapping into the endless creative flows of his musical imagination. The podcast takes you on a journey to the beyond and further. Tune in, and zone out. Enjoy!
