* FULL INTERVIEW: https://boltingbits.com/mixed-by-anastasia-zems/

Anastasia Zems doesn’t just play music—she performs it. With a background in jazz vocals, theater, and dance, her approach to DJing and production is as intuitive as it is refined. Whether she’s recording raw, first-take vocals in the studio or pushing the boundaries of a dancefloor with trance-inflected techno, Anastasia crafts moments that feel both deeply personal and unapologetically physical. Her releases on labels like Hard Fist, Les Yeux Orange, Ransom Note, and now Human Endeavour reflect not just a sound, but a sense of artistic alignment—of shared values, risk-taking, and emotional weight.

For this edition of our Mixed By series, Anastasia delivers an exclusive mix that captures the same energy and emotional depth that define her live sets. Alongside the mix, she opens up about her creative process, the evolution of her sound, and why true collaboration matters more than label size. As her style continues to move toward faster, high-impact territory, one thing remains constant: it’s all about connection, movement, and making people feel something.

A1 Penha De Franca
A2 Roobaa
B1 Mi Amigo
B2 Free At Last

Continuing the release series on our town of multicultural multimedia hub called Sakskøbing, which has been named after a lovely place in Denmark. This time a true veteran of electronic music DJ Honesty steps up under his moniker Honeydrop. Delivering four cuts of honest house music infused with elements of dub and break this release is guaranteed to cause the turntables feeling good and appreciated, they will be asking you for more. Hans has been producing music fanatically for long time with first official releases dating back to 1995 so it is a true honour to welcome him to the label 30 years later, now in 2025. The release is an intergalactic warm blanket with music on it that is completely ready for different moods and settings of the events/parties/listening sessions one might find itself in. Starting with “Penha de Franca” right until the last track named after the release’s title “Free at Last” a smooth ride can be felt which hopefully by the end of it will set the listener free, if it needs to do so. Free at last dear listener, free at last.

Gladstone Deluxe is one of the most exciting musicians in the US right now. They make futuristic, deep, percussive yet smooth techno, deep house and electro. They also play timbales in NYC queer and trans salsa band Las Mariquitas, and are a frequent collaborator with fellow East Coast sonic trailblazers Kiernan Laveaux, Johnny Zoloft, and Mira Mira. They have released on Black Techno Matters, Data Disk, Misc, Innocent Music, How Things Are Made, and now Fixed Rhythms is excited to add to the Gladstone lore with their new offering, “No Haterade EP”.

A1 “Cleanse” is zippy tech-y house…think groovy, up-beat, sexy, like something you’d hear in a Titonton Duvante set. A2 is a remix, “Teakup - Where’s My Snare (Gladstone Deluxe Remix)”. Now the EP takes a turn towards psychedelic electro. Spacey trippy vocal manipulations, swelling deep space gravitational waves swelling and resolving. The B side opens with the “No Haterade” track. Arpeggiated electro that slaps with swagger. The final track is a longer, 9 minute driving deep housey techno tune. A bass line that you never want to stop, luscious pads, brain-tingling pings, melodic percussive synth runs, and a touch of acid.

If Gladstone is not already on your radar, take heed! Big tunes here!

Now we look to the horizon of the unknown, We have no need of other worlds. We need mirrors. We don't know what to do with other worlds. A single world, our own, suffices us; we can't accept it for what it is, But the Journey has already began

In our era of post-truth & questioned realities, tin foil hatted folk project their insecurities onto the puppet masters, those holding the strings to us all, the endless psy-op at play. For those opting for psychedelic enlightenment over psychological terror, we find solace in the dance, especially when the music is from heads such as Jeku.

‘Peyote Trance’ follows the Helsinki based artists journey into the “trip”, where mother nature instead pulls the strings. A sound of trance often not followed, continuing the work of forebearers such as eXquisite CORpsE; where the zap of the synapses in the brain connect with the bubble & squeak of electronics. Creating a sound advanced by nature, yet resonating within the concrete walls us ravers know and love. All 4 tracks harness a kinetic energy that nudges you to ascendance, not desperately reaching for it like the heavy handed aesthetics of the genre can. Instead, the heads down motion of the music can take you there, and well, a little bit of Peyote might just help, as mother nature intended.

Lord of the Isles - Grafta

A month after joining proceedings at our launch party for Sub Club's Nautilus Rising label, Lord of the Isles marks his return on Permanent Vacation with his Clearness of Love EP – a heedless release of four tracks that are easy picks for peaktime on the dancefloor. Club-orientated techno that still remains gentle, heavily steeped in nostalgia: from acid to ambient; and big beat to Balearic. Though perhaps not a blatant choice, the EP's closer "All I Need" is an undeniable highlight – slow-burning, earthly techno with a melody flowing through the bassline that grounds and comforts you all at once. The almost folkloric snippets of the wood flute keeps it reminiscent of Bavarian soundscapes in Recondite's Iffy.

Clearness of Love EP drops on 23rd October via Permanent Vacation.

Lord of the Isles "All I Need" - Boiler Room Debuts

Lord of the Isles is our guest in Hour 2 and the Scottish producer has racked up a string of releases across labels like Phonica, Shevchenko, Permanent Vacation and Japanese label Mule Musiq, on which he has a track featured on their forthcoming compilation. He had this to say about his mix;
"This mix was recorded at home with some records from artists and labels that i’ve been enjoying lately. An unreleased LOTI track that i’ve playing out recently has also sneaked its way in there. Listening back I can tell I’m longing for Summer already. Sounds like memories of a Summer gone by. Thanks for having me hope you enjoy. Nx"
