Absolute belter! Well deserved first Berghain set! 🤤

Productions

Cressida has carved a space in the hollows between UK bass culture and Berlin’s techno heritage, skilfully siphoning the finer side of breakbeat, garage, grime without ever falling into lanes of predictability. This sonic identity he’s built has firmly levelled up with »Can You Sleep Like This« - his most personal record to date.

Semtex is a technoid hybrid landing somewhere between UK drill and smoked out basement club gear - future-shock junglist tension gliding over tectonic sub plates.

After lighting up the summer with the high-energy original, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike offer a darker, more hypnotic take on their hard dance heater Heroine with a Slowed + Reverb rework. Twisted through a warped lens and drenched in atmosphere, this version hits different – deeper, moodier, and more cinematic.

Dropped via BSMNT, the label known for its uncompromising underground energy, this reimagined cut slows things down to deliver a spacious, haunting experience. The signature hardcore stabs and rapid-fire kicks from the original are stretched and reverb-heavy, giving Heroine (Slowed + Reverb) an entirely new emotional edge. Think smoke-filled afterhours, low lights, and full-body bass.

What begins with those iconic eerie chimes now feels even more haunting – like a memory on loop – before gradually pulling you into a surreal, pulsating soundscape. The Amen Break moment hits like a breath underwater, before descending again into a fog of distorted synths and melancholic intensity.

Perfect for late-night sessions, chilled playlists with a twist, or anyone who wants their hard dance laced with emotion and slow-burning energy – Heroine (Slowed + Reverb) is proof that even the hardest tracks have a shadow side.

Over a few years, Berlin-based, UK-born DJ/producer Jenagan Sivakumar, otherwise known as @Cressida, has become a powerful force within the darker strands of dance music. Originating from London’s underground, and inspired by dubstep, grime and grittier sounds of metal and hardcore, he upped sticks to techno’s mecca, to explore a more heads-down form of techno there. Having released on the likes of VOITAX, LDNWHT, Syncretism and OSF, and drawn a fan in Dax J, Cressida’s stock is on the rise. Despite long flirtations with techno, his more recent output like ‘Borneo Function’ (named after one of the Orgazoid’s tracks in Peep Show) mine his bass origins, with Eski clicks and weighty bass. ‘New Day’, which he’s giving away for free below, takes a Wiley vocal and fashions it into a midnight-hued dub cut. “Wiley dropped some acappellas back in 2013 from his album ‘Snakes and Ladders’, and it was Chevel at Atonal in 2017 that I had heard made the best use of the ‘And Again’ vocals,” he says. “It blew me away when I heard at Atonal’s main stage. I managed to get a copy of this and was using it all the time, so I thought I would have a go at doing something myself. This is what I came up with.” Listen to – and download – ‘New Day’ now:
