RP. 050 Linear System

Making waves out of Berlin, Inox Traxx is slowly but surely making a name for herself through equally pounding and sensitive floor narratives, nimbly walking the tightrope between functionality and emotion as she laces sequences of variably rugged 4x4 beats along with deeper-diving cinematic blends. Beckoning us onto a path of subtle elation and true-school techno tapping out in the 90s style journal, Inox Traxx drops a two-hour exponential missive that summons the finest of her ubiquitous signature sound, as glimpsed on her work for Ben Sims’ Symbolism. Unadulterated, paced-up wares for the heads out there.

FrenzyPodcast.139 Carmen Electro

The first podcast of 2023 will be provided by the Finnish DJ and producer Carmen Electro. Her journey with electronic music started ten years ago, chasing the eternal high and best parties in the world as a regular dancer in cities like London and Berlin. Carmen eventually made the transition from the dancefloor to the decks as her passion for music grew, set to immerse herself further into the electronic music scene by playing vinyl, honing her skills as a DJ and developing a unique style that combines elements of techno, trance, and rave music.

Her sets are known for their dynamic energy and precision, as well as her ability to transport dancers to a higher state of existence. And that is exactly what you can expect from her vinyl-only creation for the coming hour. Listen to the sound of Carmen Electro here, enjoy!

Artwork: We are featuring the incredible art of Jan Petry from today for our FrenzyPodcast series and her abstract AI generated series, which is inspired by the natural world and explores the micro and macro cosmos through the lens of technology.

RED WAVES I DECKA I 067

We are happy to present you the first podcast of the year with @decka-music.

Constructing complex sonic cathedrals from a mind- and toolset born of both the UK as the EU, the artist going by the name of Decka, presents quite a unique panoply of sounds to his willing listeners. His music reflects a fascinating blend of bone-stripping Techno and blissfully blinding Bass, forging a musical mélange looking both to the big room Industrial sound of the German capital, where he nowadays resides as well as the sub-low pressure rooted in his hometown of Bristol.

DECKA - SPECTRUM WAVES PODCAST 067

HAYES | Float | Roomtrax

1/2 of Classic Blue
The Scan
A high-spirited artist and indefatigable producer, Mathys reinvents the syncopation through a mental and rude 4-decks techno, embodying the intense, concentrated and visceral, inviting for emancipation. 

From his EP released on Float last year to his new projects on Roomtrax and HAYES recently, his music is fiery and frenetic. This spatial dimension is essential to him as a musician, where tension and reflection are combined in the space he endlessly recreates through his sets. 

Mathys Lenne is the one who sets the pace, pushing the melody to its rawest limits and establishing order with finesse.

She plays primarily with emotions, oscillating between the classic four and off-beat techno or breaks. Her sets are characterized by extreme emotionality underpinned by a strong foot, where despair flows smoothly into ecstasy.

In 1996 and is interested in how to produce electronic music using software and hardware, creating his first beats with a Roland TR 606 and the software for rhythms "Hammer"

In 2005 lost contact with the technics, leaving only time to assimilate knowledge as a producer.
Currently it has returned to give life to his label Hardtools, this time digitally, also adding the creation of two other brands for the same function, Basic Form and UK Executes.

PWCCA X Cartel [046]

London based artist, Tasha runs Neighborhood record label / techno party, and besides also curates shows on Rinse FM. 
Mastered DJ, she's used to play on huge dancefloors and venues across the European scene.

GUEST SERIES : Tasha

Two mixes meet on a late night wandering through a city. Bodies emerge from the underground to twist and gyrate.... There is a scent in the air of sweat, energy, concrete, flowers breaking through the pavement... 

We begin with a wavy metamorphic mix from Yessi from the experimental groove collective Dyspheric...

And to follow [starting at 50:45] is an undeniable techno crusher from room-melter I.D.E....

With a textured background of musical influences, Tasha has mastered her craft when it comes to weaving together bass-heavy forms from the UK, Berlin, Detroit and beyond. A dedicated music-head, Tasha's multi-genre approach is one that has catered for dancefloors all-over. From drum & bass to techno, it's a style that has been translated across her radio shows, event programming and record label with much adoration.

This mix is everything we've come to expect from Tasha; a magnetic recording with a track-list targeted at the dancefloor, approached with consideration, a deep musical knowledge and bags of passion.

As @rrose1921, Seth Horvitz explores techno’s deep, psychedelic veins. The Californian artist’s latest album, ‘Please Touch’, expands on the ecological aura that’s coursed through their recent output. 

Alongside a mix of ‘90s tracks to celebrate 30 years of DJing, he speaks to Liam Cagney about creation as an act of discovery, the influence of microtonal composers, performing in drag, and the dancefloor's taste for ever-faster techno

DJ Python at Dekmantel Selectors 2023

For the last 7 years the Fast Forward Audio Series has been running, we have had the pleasure of presenting more than hundred different artists ranging with all from livesets, solo recordings and b2b sessions on it.
 It has been interesting to follow the journey of those artists from where they were then, and how their sound has evolved and influenced them and the scenes around.  

So for this 100th edition of the series we are very pleased to present yet another influential artist to you: TASHA

Tasha’s DJing style matches this textured background of her influences and has developed into a master-flow of form - weaving tunes together seamlessly from her bass informed home of the UK alongside four four techno forms born in Berlin and Detroit.  Her residency on Rinse FM Radio has been a backbone of Tasha’s approach as a DJ - expressing her appreciation for electronic music inviting guests in from all over the globe. 

 In 2016 Tasha launched the label Neighbourhood with Randomer, Cadans, Kamikaze Space Programme, Metrist and Forest Drive West all featuring to date, and the latest edition of the V/A compilation HIVE series has just released its third edition last month. 

In an industry where artists are asked to prioritise their art for social media presence, likes and other vacuous pursuits, Tasha is very much in demand for her ‘music first’ attitude, selection and ability.
A refreshing outlook and positive future awaits the DJ, producer, promoter and label owner. 

Enjoy! :)

Fast Forward Audio Series #100 - Tasha

This one’s a firm nod to London and its unique cultural genome. Tasha got her start in drum and bass, with early support from DJ Flight and Storm, regular slots at Renegade Hardware, and a side shift at central London’s now defunct record store BM Soho. That, and her own party-going forays threw a growing fixation with techno into the mix and it’s here at the crossroads of these two influences that Tasha started to find her voice. For four years starting 2009, and now again on a monthly basis since 2018, she’s held down a residency on Rinse FM, and the distinctly homespun feel of the outlet has left a permanent mark on her sound, one that’s intimately tied to both community and the station’s roots as a fledgling pirate station way back when. Equally formative was Shoreditch venue Plastic People, where she took charge of event programming alongside Sigha, a role she followed with the starting of her own solo venture titled ’Neighbourhood’ - a bringing together of artists in her orbit among which figure names like Pangaea, Pariah, Ben Sims, Zenker Brothers and Stenny. It now calls FOLD home, but the name, and you’d be hard pressed to find a better one, has stuck. It also stuck to the label that project spawned in 2016 and all the subsequent releases that kept that vision going. Tasha’s art, like the life it inhabits, is in constant movement. Brisk basslines with a heavy debt to London’s wealth of musical styles, openness of spirit and DIY fervour. Bassiani Podcast 232 is a banger, 70 minutes of contagious rhythmic momentum; kinetic techno with a UK twist and a point of inflection that’s firmly rooted in the city she calls home. Welcome to the neighbourhood.

BASSIANI PODCAST SERIES

Bassiani invites Tasha / Podcast #232

Stepping in our podcast series this week, London DJ and Neighbourhood chief operator Tasha graces us with a versatile, shape-shifting helluva mix she holds the secret to. Keeper of a sound amplitude that sees her run the gamut from Latin music-inflected techno to proper industrial, Birmingham-style tempi, through hardcore-friendly outbursts and out-there acid mind trips, Tasha has us bedazzled with every bar, wrong-footing any expectation in the process. And just like a good DJ does, she weaves a totally unique web of sound for us to get caught in, cohesively braiding the kind of electronic journey you can not but want to return to. Hop in for a much addictive rollercoaster ride across Tasha’s vortical headspace.
