Name: COMFORTNOISE PODCAST 057 by new.com by comfortnoise /podcast
Duration: 1 h

a kaleidoscopic session from one of the uk’s best gems, wordcolour. an artist who excels in storytelling through their productions, this approach to his craft is translated in podcast 215 as the mix gently starts with stunning ambient moments before building into a masterclass of drum programming. pacing through halftime, techno and IDM, it’s an unpredictable 72 minutes with wordcolour showing us his cards — a hand dealt with authenticity as a marker of where he’s at right now as a dj and producer. 

wordcolour made his production debut on lapsus records in 2020 before heading over to fabric’s esteemed imprint houndstooth where he released ‘juno way’ - a breakthrough record as such for wordcolour. this was the beginning of a long-standing relationship with houndstooth where he also went on to release ‘bluster’ ep featuring remixes from djrum, dj python and the soft pink truth, his debut album ‘the trees were buzzing, and the grass.’ and the ratios series. on all of these records, wordcolour’s ability to create detailed, immersive soundscapes which emotionally resonated with both home listening and dancefloor moments, has shined through. continuing on this path of world building, earlier this month wordcolour released the first ep on his new label, TiHKAL, from london-based artist st. amp. a label dedicated to exploring psychedelic soundscapes which is a direction that wordcolour has been producing in recently as well as ties in with the parties he now likes to attend, TiHKAL will be a new home for tracks that land within the 150-200 / 75-100 bpm zone.

to celebrate the release, wordcolour has pulled together a mix that delves into the influences behind this new direction and we chat more about the concept of TiHKAL, approach to curation, early influences and more.

Pattern Recognition w/ R A L L Y & Gardenparty - 04/04/2025

I haven't put out an ambient mixtape in a long time, so i'm glad to be sharing this deep listening journey. 
It was recorded live for the sweetest seated / lying down, attentive, & entranced audience in Berlin's cutest queer listening bar "Kwia", for the Femme Bass Mafia Crew.

G'Day moites!

As the launch of my new record label looms and many things to celebrate in the meantime - including my upcoming gig with the Donny Sub Basics next week for Modern Hypnosis's final dance for a while!

I have been a busy boy the last few months, after the success of the first one - I decided to record Pugcast Vol 2 with 21 brand spanking new tracks, made over the last few months, there is one vinyl only release track and an older ambient joint I made 5 years ago to pad the mix out but it's mostly brand new weaponry. Mostly solo productions, some remixes and some collaborations.

The mix is rough and ready and not overly planned with a few mistakes (I didn't want to overthink it), I am quite happy with how this one came together.  

Cheers

Alex

A few weeks back an email landed in our inbox signposting music from a mysterious artist operating under the guise of Cleyra. We were kindly tipped off by the team at Timedance who usually know a thing or two about cutting edge electronica but even by their standards this one was far out.

However, we say that in the very best way.

Cleyra is an artist who likes to keep themselves private. The music does the talking and offers a brief insight into their psyche but that’s about it.

This mix is a tour de force demonstrating the potential future of dance and electronic music, a hectic maze of sounds which challenge and entice at both the same time.

Cleyra: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

Two hours of idiosyncratic and deeply personal dub and reggae recordings from one of the Jamaica's most unique and misunderstood talents, Keith Hudson.

After years of underwhelming dance floors and sadness at the disinheritance of blackness from techno and house music especially on the LA scene, we’ve begun a social experiment, coalition, cloud formation; entitled “rave reparations”. The initiative aims to help build relationships between local black DJs, specifically queer / femme / bipoc and house/techno promoters who are largely not of these communities. We also call on support from these lesser marginalized bodies in conscripting venues and fiscal support for parties thrown by the aforementioned groups.
