Exploring hybrid music styles and outernational, borderless musical influences, DJ soFa’s Elsewhere compilation series continues with a sixth instalment, and the second to appear on Kalahari Oyster Cult.

Always ahead of the tide, the Kalahari Oyster is a fine specimen when it comes to the discipline of next-level sound-snooping. Meticulously curated by Belgian sonic globetrotter soFa, Elsewhere XX showcases a dozen outstanding tunes, each dwelling in their own personal space between the imaginary worlds of post-kraut, DIY synth-punk and odd-pop ballads.

Melting these genres with contemporary club music is the mission here. Doused in a thick fog of arcane machine talk, tribal rhythms and cosmic synths, Elsewhere XX is an invitation to escape the hall of LED-backlit mirrors that we’ve so mistakenly come to call our “reality”.

Gathering artists from all corners of the globe – including Radio Hito, Anatolian Weapons, Eylul Deniz, Dame Area and Electronic Body Girl – soFa’s curation lays the groundwork for a unique and thoroughly immersive listening and dancing experience. Through a carefully selected suite of like-minded, yet diverse joints, we run the gamut from distorted funk (“Anita”, “Confiture") and cross-pollinated electroid blueprints (“Walk Away”, “An Abhainn Mhor") to oddball synthpop (“Credo” & Twin Peaks cover "She Can't Die"), reverb-soaked audio safaris (“Fifty Fifty (Anatolian Weapons Dub)") and static-filled postpunk (“Umani”).

soFa's Elsewhere series started in 2017 and this is the sixth compilation to date. Shifting focus with every new instalment, the compilations have previously appeared on labels likes Music For Dreams, Emotional Response and Crevette Records.

Opium's favorite newcomer, Ugnė Sync, drags us from EBM to Indie via dark disco tunes to trance and Giallo vibes in LAYER #308. Ugné has been in love with music since she was a kid and started shaping the love a couple of years ago, picking from the depths of the beforementioned genres. This mix would serve as a proper background to a teenage horror with topless youngsters. 

Catch her at the WPD Christmas party but before then, enjoy her two-hour dancing feast.

LAYER #308 | Ugnė Sync

Spectrum Gemini might be one of the hottest DJ duos in Lithuania at the moment. Having their own nights at Opium Club and being a regular fit on Draugai Draugams or Gallery1986 events proved that these guys aren’t one of those newcomers who fade out too soon. Their latest mix recorded for Lizdas seems to be a great taster of what it feels like to stay the night on Spectrum of the Gemini.

You play there and I'll do the drums" is the summation of the creative process of two producers who graduated together, Cport Cistema and Fiorini.
The light, energetic and fast house reflects the three-track EP "Emenate". And this work "Cigarette" is the first of three completed last spring. That's what the piece smells like.
