Freakin Time with Freakenstein and DAWL - 04 August 2023

Next up for CKFM we have Edinburgh based DJ, noodle. "This mix was inspired by those early 00’s compilation CDs which were one seamless, continuous mix and soundtracked countless train journeys growing up. The CDs always seemed to have hyper-sexualised women throwing their heads back in ecstasy on the cover and evoked some kind of sleazy, flirty feeling within. This mix opens with progressive house and evolves into a journey of tribal-infused tech house from its’ golden era: the late 90’s and early 00’s. Percussion and groove-heavy bassline puncture throughout before finishing on euphoric house cuts. Tech house can be a bit of a dirty word these days, and I wish there was more appreciation for its original roots before it became commercialised."

GRDN DJ, EHFM resident and Subterranean Sound curator, noodle is constantly digging the internet for new sounds that feed her obsession with euphoric house, stripped back minimal and even slippery dubstep. Be sure to check out her monthly radio show on EHFM where she meanders playfully through her softer side: whether its hypnagogic ambient, rare 90’s hip-hop or twinkly house music.

Hailing from Dundee, Acid Boner has gathered himself somewhat of a cult following in the Jute City for his DJ & live sets showcasing all things 303.

With recent gigs in Glasgow with Posthuman & infamous Barcelona club LUV as well as a secret rave in his hometown, we expect you'll be seeing much more of him in years to follow. 

Enjoy this acid onslaught.

Alfonsvs has been blurring the lines separating House from Techno for the past 12 years. 
 On his early days, he saw one of his tracks being chosen for a physical release on a compilation by the Portuguese label Extended Records, which saw the daylight in 2016.
 In 2017, after being the Portuguese artist hand-picked by Burn, the energy drink brand, for the now extinct Burn Residency program in Ibiza, he got the chance to travel and play around Europe with other artists from around the Globe, picked up by the Burn Residency panel, which was composed by Philipp Straub, Pete Tong, Luciano, Carl Cox, Seth Troxler and Loco Dice. The program consisted of several workshops, gigs in festivals such as Kappa FuturFestival and in iconic locations such as Space's Club Museum in Ibiza, at Ibiza Sonica Radio, at IMS, among others.
 Through the hands of Laurent Garnier, he released in 2019 on the enigmatic Cod3 Qr label, putting his name next to an incredible roster of artists, such as Agents of Time, Scan X, or even Laurent himself. 

The scene needs more people like Alfonsvs, a talented producer and DJ who can back themselves up as well as keeping their local scene going. Big up and supported the artist!

Up next we have a stalwart of the Leeds underground dance music scene in Frenchy with a special recording of him live at The Imaginarium in Leeds. We had the pleasure of playing on the same lineup that night & we had a lot of fun!

Frenchy keeps busy on the underground house scene with residencies at the legendary Back to Basics in Leeds, Body MVMT in London and Beatnick Collective in Manchester, as well as being a regular at Gottwood Festival. He is an avid vinyl collector for over 25yrs and ran The Garage nightclub which won the coveted DJ Mag small club of the year award and Waxwerks Records in Leeds, so safe to say he has a few hidden gems up his sleeve.

Albin At Outra Cena, That Side, 19/07/24

@albindj x @kingsofty

Albin & King Softy  present a collaborative mix made collage style, showcasing their diverse musical curation and commitment platforming their friends.

Albin and Amos (King Softy) first connected in 2018 after Albin, like many of us, became infatuated by the outputs of INDEX: Records. Since this time, the pair have shared musical worlds, ideas, time in the studio and a line up and trip to Poland. The mix is a result of these shared ideas and an opportunity to celebrate Amos’ forthcoming and much anticipated album to be released on @electromngr in late November.

King Softy is the alias of Amos Turner, the Aotearoa born, berlin-based artist, label head, graphic designer and Kwia resident. He is co-producer of the much loved Downstairs People project that explores ambient-forward altered states of pop and r&b. Amos’ creative projects have culminated as INDEX:Records which morphed into Appendix.Files, two record labels he co-founded between 2017 and 2019.

Brazilian DJ and Yellow Island Records label head Albin’s journey underground began in Belo Horizonte, where, at 14 he immersed himself in the psychedelic trance and house scenes, working with various collectives to occupy urban spaces, reframing and transforming their use. Now playing across Europe via his new home in Porto, Albin’s sound is inspired by deep rhythms, Latin sound, Ilian Tape-inspired techno, and UK club music which has seen him play at esteemed clubs and festivals, including Dimensions. Meanwhile, Albin explores guitar-infused trip hop and downtempo sounds via his personal mix series which I highly recommend.

Next up for our CKFM series we have long time friend of the label and electro assassin, Sebastian Swarm. 

Writing this makes me realise how long we've all been doing this for. Having met Zach around 2013 we've had the pleasure of partying & playing at the infamous Lunacy, of which he was one of the co-founders & resident DJ. More recently he has started Glasstank Glasgow showcasing some of the best talent in electronic music in a livestream format we can get behind. 

For this mix he serves up some gritty (in the best way) Detroit inspired electro, furious drums, acid lines & raucous high end throughout. Headphone listening recommended, unless you've got a club system in your house.

Jordan has been DJing for a long time. More than half his lifetime, in fact. While most of us were studying for our high school exams, Jordan was zipping across Ireland with a roped-in mate, playing all manner of rowdy clubs, often lacking the ID requirements that would typically get him bounced from the door. What’s more, he wasn’t a national sensation with a hit single, he just fucking loved it. Eventually, Jordan walked a Radio 1 competition that saw him play in front of a home crowd of 10000 people in his home city of Belfast. He was sixteen years old.

While this may sound like the beginning of a particularly salacious Netflix documentary, we don’t need to ask “But where’s Jordan now?”, because he’s here, delivering the latest edition in the #PHANTASYMIX series. Between now and then, he’s maintained face as one of the most skilled DJs in Belfast, a city that thanks to it’s dedicated crowd and AVA Festival, has developed a burgeoning reputation as a hotbed of electronic music. Jordan helped build that foundation, co-running The Night Institute party for many years, hosting international names and then wisely scaling things back to a wide-ranging rave based on the skills of himself and fellow DJ Timmy Stewart.

More recently, Jordan has been dancing down multiple avenues. As well as traversing Europe as a DJ, his Nocturne edits series have become some of the most sought-after slabs of wax in the market, beloved by Gerd Janson, Kornel Kovacs and our own Erol Alkan. His halcyon solo productions on Belters and Loose Fit have a luminescent, timeless quality that recalls Orbital or The Chemical Brothers alongside his constantly refreshed record collection from a bubbling underground. And now he’s here for the #PHANTASYMIX. Alongside the music, he spoke to John Thorp about those wild early days, the perfect edit, the Belfast music scene and the potential effects of the recent pandemic.

No one is cuter than PHOEBE full stop. here's one of the hardest working mfs in Lisbon's new generation of music people. bruno runs the incredible Troublemaker Records which helped bring to live the work of iconic legends like NESS Herlander and Killian.

His range of music to pick from is quite astonishing -  whenever we talk about music i'm like this is a bottomless pit honey. from sufjan stevens to hard as nails electro to modern rnb and more. hearing him play in a club is such a sweet experience, like you're being gently taken from vibe to vibe by the hand of someone who FEELS. having PHOEBE bless the Lisbon scene is immesurably lucky for everyone and that's that on that. Now listen to the sick as fuck naivetape he recorded please, and follow him on sc while you're at it @phoebephoebephoebe

10 Years of WNCL Recordings #3: Boxwork vs Jane In Palma

The notion of travelling had become something of a myth these days, a fantasy that consistently seemed just out of grasp. But now the rules had changed and they were free to go wherever they wanted, no matter how far flung the place may be. But the fear still reigned supreme. Though permission had been granted, many would still rather stay in the comfort and safety of their own homes. For them paradise was still a long way away.

Munich-based producer Sam Goku is on a mission to transmit a message of understanding, that behind the differences in one another's customs and traditions is usually a similar emotion or motivation. Growing up in Germany to Chinese parents, he was raised with two different cultures and mentalities, influences which feed back into his musical pursuits. Following two releases for Amsterdam's Atomnation, he now returns to the label for his third outing, a three-tracker entitled Paradise Drum that pulls in deep tribal drums, sharp synth leads and frantic percussion.

Over the last month, the music and events industry has entered unchartered territory due to the Covid-19 lockdown, and artists and online media have found themselves in a financially vulnerable position with much more time on their hands.

To help some of those artists, and provide Ransom Note with much-needed financial support, three weeks ago we reached out to some friends of the website with the challenge to make a track in collaboration with another producer, musician or vocalist, remotely, in 10 days. The result is ‘Pen Pals’: a compilation featuring 15 collaborations from 32 artists.

Due to the current situation we’ve increased royalties for all artists involved and, whilst the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions apply, accounting will be processed fortnightly. Profits from the compilation will also provide financial support for Ransom Note who have been heavily impacted by the halt of the events industry.
