@djvalentimes

It wasn't long after he started DJing and producing that Stefan Cvitanic, aka DJ Valentimes, had found his niche. Whether it's in Providence or Tunisia, Budapest or Oslo, Cvitanic has formed connections with discerning fans all over the world with his uncompromising approach to techno, delivering emotional heft and texture and in every shade of greyscale. Alongside his DJ Valentimes moniker, the Bay Area-born, New York-based artist widened his scope with additional aliases (Kanal Nula, Kirbi Zauvijek, Rangefinder), launched three record labels (Puppy Tapes, Anti-State Electronics, Mineral Resource) and somehow found the time to run the now-defunct Dust Radio and Nausea rave series alongside a spirited cast of his friends.

Following a brief and well-deserved hiatus, DJ Valentimes makes a triumphant return to the decks with a punishing CENTER BOOTH set that reminds us exactly what we’ve been missing. A droning, atmospheric opening passage sets an ominous tone with dank echoes and buzzing sounds that bring to mind a swarm of flies hovering over a rotting corpse. A pounding kick breaks the mix open, with propulsive percussion loops and muted horns that conjure a fast-approaching steam engine train. As the intensity rises, you could imagine lying on the tracks beneath the carriage as the locomotive rushes overhead, finally reaching a point where the experience is more akin to standing in front of a jet engine.

The set contains unreleased tracks from DJ Valentimes himself and a number of his close friends, alongside timeless early 2000s schranz cuts that could have been released 25 years ago or yesterday. It’s proper rinsing techno of the highest order, an enveloping storm as intricate and varied as it is incessantly slamming (well, right up until the chef’s kiss chilly cooldown anyway). DJ Valentimes, you’ve been missed.

Umbra Podcast 8 - Horny

Drenched sheets, racing thoughts, palpitating rhythms. Istrefi’s debut tape offers a bleak insight into the twentieth sublevel of anxiety. A deeply intimate release showcasing his unique ability to communicate personal experience through an abstract medium. This is for those who seek brutally honest music striving to transcend the anonymous aesthetic of most modern techno.
