Recorded Live at Unmute Hanoi on Dec 2024

Erik Luebs is a US-born musician and sound designer based in Japan. Eschewing typical genre tropes, Luebs approaches techno with a playfully disruptive technique, reinterpreting the fundamentals using built-from-scratch patches and labyrinthine sequencing. While the labor-intensive process is inspired by a wide range of luminaries such as Mark Fell and Rrose, the resulting music is firmly tied to the dance floor.

Luebs engages in minimal promotion, focusing his efforts instead on producing a series of monthly singles on Bandcamp. Through word of mouth, his unconventional approach to dance music has led to releases on labels such as The Bunker New York, Nous'klaer Audio, performances at DJ Nobu's Future Terror party in Japan and at Draaimolen Festival in Holland.

MIX075 - Erik Luebs (大阪) [Live at Unmute]

Regis and Function's first mix in over 10 years is a unique paean to Silent Servant, heavy on unreleased material.

When it came time for RA to compile our Albums of the 2010s, one record with a tauntingly limited availability of 500 copies was never in doubt: Sandwell District's era-defining 'Feed-Forward'. Encompassing Karl O'Connor (Regis), Peter Sutton (Female), David Sumner (Function) and Juan Mendez (Silent Servant), Sandwell District had the underground in a vice grip for over a decade.

The collective imploded in 2013, with Sumner and O'Connor's relationship appearing beyond repair. And yet, an unlikely second phase is here, featuring imminent comeback LP 'End Beginnings' and their return to the RA Podcast after 16 years. In 2023, the trio of Function, Regis and Silent Servant had been performing and laying down new material before the latter's shock death last January. It's in the shadow of loss that this unique mix was forged.

Founded in 2002 as a spiritual sister to seminal Downwards, Sandwell truly began to hit its straps in the late '00s, as shadow-stalking cuts sliced through clubland orthodoxy like a switchblade. In parallel, the label's artwork—a noir recombination of Burroughs cut-ups, DIY zines and arthouse amour that Silent Servant made his own—helped fortify a movement which placed an aesthetic premium on grit, grain and sadism.

By the early 2010s, this fixation on the dark arts had utterly permeated the mood inside techno's masonic temples. Labels like Blackest Ever Black, Stroboscopic Artefacts, Avian and Modern Love were in their pomp, razorwire legends like Severed Heads and Chris & Cosey benefited from second winds, and it was briefly a jailable offence to not have a press photo in black and white. 'Feed-Forward' was the exceptional coronating statement.

RA.978 features a stack of unheard recordings from each of the trio, as well as close allies Stefanie Parnow and Tropic of Cancer, while also gathering many of Silent Servant's all-time favourite songs, including Psychic TV, Grace Jones and Galaxie 500. It's a strikingly vulnerable listen, one without many parallels on the Podcast. We're glad to run it. – Gabriel Szatan

The next Dekmantel mix is a wild melting pot of dark, murky techno grooves by @mattikk. A pillar of the Amsterdam underground, the Garage Noord resident has a long history of DJing in the city and is closely connected to your favorite techno labels. He’s the mind behind Delsin Records' Mantis series, collaborating with artists like Forest Drive West, Konduku, Lemna, and Dino Sabatini.

Drawing on UK sound system culture, his selections always carry an experimental edge, whether diving into deep Italian techno or ambient. Usually, he crafts mixes for immersive listening pleasure, but here he makes a rare turn to the dance floor, inspired by his closing set on the UFO2 stage at last year's Dekmantel Festival. Over an hour of powerful, driving grooves and subtle details, sprinkled with new tunes and some personal favorites that span low-end-heavy electro and broken beats.

~ we’re back to the essence of Tentacular with this long-awaited mix from one of our dearest—Sybil (@syberkid). A true weaver of sonic worlds, she gifts us a high-energy journey where UK rave meets psychedelic doof, storytelling through sound in the way only she can. Mystical, embodied, and full of heart.

This recording holds a special story, as told by Sybil herself:

Today we open another page of our Herbarium mix series. It's DJ Winggold's turn to show us his musical translation of the plant he picked. He created a colourful story full of energy and dynamics. It's definitely a mix which urges you to move your body while listening, what a banger.

DJ Winggold selected the Kudzu Vine (Pueraria Montana) for his mix, let's lean about his thoughts behind this:
By its nature, the kudzu vine is a relentless plant that is infamous for its ability to invade its surroundings and constantly be growing. Given the way it bulldozes through its environment, overrunning everything in its path, It’s seen as a negative thing, but I wanted to turn it on its head - what if the leaf could represent love and the way we need to constantly feed love in our lives, allowing it to unrelentingly flow in order to be truly fulfilled? Given the wriggly, unrelenting energy of the kudzu vines, I wanted to play wiggly, unpredictable tunes that fan out in multiple directions.

With this starting point, the mix inadvertently became a mix of distinct parts - there’s a point where the energy shifts and gets murkier, representing negative energy fighting against the warmth of love, with the kudzu leaves starting to gnarl, tangle and creep out further. From there on out, the battle intensifies with the mix getting more frantic and frenzied, with this representing the way love needs to be fought for on a daily basis.

About DJ Winggold
DJ Winggold is one of the key minds behind Unbound Events, a London-based events platform and monthly radio show carving out a space for minorities in the underground scene through the medium of forward-facing music. 

As an artist, he uses Afrofuturism as a guiding principle to direct his creative pursuits, focusing on the intersection between race, identity, history and culture. Sonically speaking, this manifests through the fusion of lysergic, hypnotic techno with sub-bass heavy global sounds inspired by and from across the hardcore continuum. This comes together to create something respecting the black roots of electronic music whilst remaining firmly forward-facing and unique.

@polygonia shares a mind-melting and expansive mix accompaniment to her new album 'Dream Horizons' on @dkmntl, on which she flexes full creative freedom.

"A reflection of shifting dreamscapes, this mix traces the arc of 'Dream Horizons', my new album on Dekmantel. It mirrors the album’s wide stylistic and tempo range — traversing pulses, textures, and energies, swelling into a feverish rush before breaking apart and exhaling into a halftime echo. Genres dissolve and reemerge not as contrasts, but as fragments of a shared vision."

This one's a throwback to our roots - somewhere around 2019.
Raw, unfiltered, and we always thought it needed an MC. Any takers? 🎙️

This is the third track of seven. Hope you dig it.

Rising Dutch star upsammy opened Resident Advisor's first-ever stage at The Crave Festival with nearly two and a half hours of trippy oddities, mellow dub and atmospheric drum & bass.

RA Live - 01.06.19 - upsammy, The Crave Festival, Netherlands

Recorded live at Nuits Sonores 2019, 15:00 - 18:00, before Donato Dozzy took over.
Marissa Cetin from Resident Advisor wrote about the afternoon:
"Unlike the other daytime curators, Lena Willikens chose to open La Sucrière's impressive main hall on Friday, playing alongside her usual back-to-back partner Vladimir Ivkovic. The two looked relaxed behind the decks, swaying, smoking and sometimes smiling. The crowd, less dense than during the other headliners due to the early start, were also in a good mood, using the extra space to feel out each beat of the slower selections. Much of the two hours felt like existing in the lagging moment of a sci-fi movie, just before a spaceship launches into warp speed (in a good way, I promise)."

On the last day of our Hyperdub takeover, we’ve got a double-bill of exclusive mixes, starting with Proc Fiskal.

See the tracklist here → https://crackm.ag/2BoVggB

Hyperdub Takeover: Proc Fiskal

Proudly presenting TPF–007 from upsammy, the singular Dutch artist with ears trained on the unknown.  

When we asked rising (and rising) star Peach to curate a night with us on November 1st 2019, she reached out to long-time friend and fellow Torontonian Club Fitness, and De School resident, upsammy. The latter, whose refined taste and genre-elasticity has been quietly garnering her a cult following in recent years, steps up to the plate from TPF–007, a live recording from her three hour warm up set that night. 

The result is one of the most imaginative and masterful early door sets we've had the pleasure to host at Pickle. Departing from the high-octane / tempo sounds upsammy often champions, expect a winding journey through dub, experimental bass, oddball techno and plenty more besides.
