Arkeo is my most eclectic and techno-driven album to date—a fusion of my love for subterranean aesthetics and my deeply-rooted connection to Detroit’s underground music scene. 
While always keeping the dance floor in mind, this album also reflects something more personal: my spiritual journey and how it applies to my daily life.
Arkeo represents the awareness that I have weaknesses, but rather than seeing them as limitations, I view them as opportunities for God's power to work through me.  It’s a reminder that my dependence on Him allows me to walk more fully into the abundant life I’m meant to live.
Jesus said, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 
— 2 Corinthians 12:9
As you listen, my hope is that you don’t just hear the music, but that you feel a connection to something deeper.

WRST012 - Yunna - Rinne (Remixed)
Release: June 22, 2023
Pre-order: June 7, 2023 

Following Yunna's debut EP "Rinne," Worst Behavior Recs is thrilled to share two very special remixes by artists who have directly inspired Yunna's eclectic production style. In “Rinne (Remixed)”, Addison Groove and Fixate deliver fresh takes on her tracks "Day" and "Sea", further elevating the EP’s unique sound. 

Rinne is the inspired sonic culmination of Yunna's personal journey toward self acceptance, self love, motherhood, and the cycle of birth, death, and re-birth. The EP carries the torch for the hardcore continuum while articulating a fresh sound that bridges the gap between her classical background and love of underground sounds like jungle, footwork and hip hop. It made perfect sense to collab with musical inspirations Addison Groove and Fixate on the remixes. 

Addison Groove, the Bristol-based legend known for his genre-bending approach to dance music, takes "Day" to new rave euphoria heights. Starting with melodic key stabs and Yunna’s ethereal vocal chops, he turns “Day” into a hypnotic and atmospheric journey that blends elements of garage, Chicago house, and jungle. With a career spanning well over a decade, Addison Groove has established himself as an undeniable innovative force in dance music. He has made founding contributions in dubstep, footwork, juke, bass and the many beautiful spaces in between, releasing music on labels such as Swamp 81, Tectonic, Hyperdub and Gutterfunk. Addison Groove continues to push the boundaries of genre and sound, inspiring and exciting audiences around the world with no sign of slowing down.

Fixate, the London based multi-genre sensation and Exit Records affiliate, transforms "Sea" into a total sub workout of wobbling bass and jungle breaks. The rising star of the UK drum & bass and dubstep scenes is known for his dynamic dj sets and innovative productions. His music is characterized by its intricate rhythms, heavy basslines, and eclectic influences, drawing upon everything from jungle and hip hop to techno and dubstep. With his unique sound design and experimental approach to production and DJing, Fixate has quickly established himself as one of the most forward-thinking and exciting artists in the UK DnB scene.

In addition to digital release on June 22nd, both remixes and all the original tracks on “Rinne” will be available for purchase on a limited-edition lathe-cut record. This exclusive offering adds a tangible and collectible element to the release, allowing fans to fully immerse themselves in Yunna's visionary sonic world.

FLASHING LIGHTS

𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒆: Biocym - Wadis [MLF018]

It all starts with a discrete, almost instinctive percussive motif.
A loop that breathes, stretches, transforms itself without ever breaking the thread. Around it, the textures slowly take shape: a pad like a held breath, then sound fragments - glitches, interference, tension - that disturb the surface.

With the track Wadis, Biocym composes a shifting landscape where structure is never imposed but suggested, leaving each element to find its place over time. The modular sounds created in VCV Rack gradually infiltrate the sound space, creating a fragile dialogue between calm and disturbance. The result is a subtle tension of unstable equilibrium and rhythmic hypnosis.

Wadis Variations extends this spell through four singular rereadings by Piante Vive, Sauvage Dub Trio and Arto. Each appropriates the raw material to reveal new forms: a deeper pulse, a wider space, an unexpected vertigo.
Four visions, one source. Four reflections, one wave.

An EP like an oasis in mutation, where each variation reveals a new facet of the sound material.

Claudio PRC’s (@claudioprc) fifth album, Self Surrender, unfolds as a reflective journey of self-acceptance, a story embracing reality in its purest and most unfiltered form. Released via Delsin Records, this marks his first full-length album on the label, following the EP’s Rites of Passage (2021), Challenger Deep (2022) and Golden Scales (2024).

The album explores different and more leftfield sonic corners, while remaining true to Claudio’s cavernous, deep, and spiritual essence. It’s a journey through different styles, with echoes of the past and contemporary influences merging.

Self Surrender begins with ambient and dub echoes, moving through dark, minimal rhythms and deep techno. It blends techno and house elements, exploring themes of sin and redemption with cutting synths and tight grooves. This first half of the longplayer closes introspectively with a reflective ambient piece.

In the second part, the sound shifts to more energetic techno. It’s driven by heavy kicks and dreamy atmospheres, with acid-laden textures and haunting strings. To conclude, Self Surrender closes with an ethereal track, fully embodying the theme of surrender and acceptance.

Born in Sardinia and now based in Berlin, Claudio PRC has been a key figure in the deep techno scene since 2006. His music is deeply rooted in a philosophical approach, drawing from Detroit techno, electroacoustics, and his academic background in Music and New Technologies. Over the years, he has released on labels such as Prologue Music, Semantica Records, while also establishing his label 012 as a platform for art and sound research.

A storied artist with a rich seam of high-quality releases to his name, Nicolas Rada is a welcome addition to the Meanwhile catalogue with a superb twin-track offering in the shape of “Glasgow / Riot”.

Operating out of his Buenos Aires home, Nicolas Rada has been at the forefront of the Progressive House scene for almost 2 decades. As part of the artist roster under the Analog Agency banner, Nicolas has travelled the world, spanning the continents with performances in Australia, Mexico, Ecuador, Spain, Netherlands, Hungary, Scotland, and not forgetting his Argentina homeland.

Contemporaneously, a production career has seen Nicolas Rada scale rarified heights. From early work and almost a century of credits on Balkan Connection South America, to work on Lee Burridge’s Tale & Tone, Nick Warren’s The Soundgarden and fellow countryman Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music, the Argentinean star has shone brightly in the underground dance firmament with over 400 production credits to his name.

Now gracing Meanwhile with his sizeable talent, “Glasgow” is a typically powerful offering that revels in a thumping beat, off-beat hats and running 16th note bassline. Picking up the pace in the second movement, subtle melodic motifs begin to accentuate the rhythmic collage as they seamlessly develop over the 8-minute timeframe. Atmospheric pads and steam-pressured white-noise risers add to the overall feel as “Glasgow” hits its height in delay-infused melodic patterns that propel it forward to an epic conclusion.

The cleverly named “Riot” immediately excites with its complex rhythmic arrangement and bassline narrative that extends the vibe of its partner track. With bouncing phrasing, it syncopates effortlessly alongside a cascading array of melodic characters that build in dizzying fashion. Using vocal samples drawn from the classic “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” film, first used by the likes of Chicago’s iconic progressive breaks act, Grayarea, the spoken word melds effortlessly with the shimmering synth stabs and textured pads. The result is a 24-carat modern progressive jewel that sparkles from start to finish.

Making a welcome Meanwhile debut, Nicolas Rada lays down a powerful marker with “Glasgow / Riot”.

FREE DOWNLOAD: Sasha - Belfunk (Amháin & Freedo Mosho remix)

If you download it, do share.

More than a classic re-designed, Amháin & Freedo Mosho's take on Sasha's seminal "Belfunk" taps deep into the core of the 1999 Xpander EP masterpiece and soars without ever compromising that primordial sense of finesse.

Enthralling from the outset, the remix builds its mystique on resonating bass stabs and surging mid-frequencies, creating a hypnotic frame that puts us under submission before narcotic fumes rise from its cavernous depths.

Propelled by a myriad of effervescent effects and acidic flourishes, the production pair leads "Belfunk" across the night into a break in the clouds where the moonlight reflects in kaleidoscopic fashion against the city's warm embrace, dousing it in a new light before chemistry works its magic.

In a delightful sleight of alchemy, Amháin & Freedo Mosho conjure a meandering lead that hangs suspended as it moves, drawing aqueous figures with every beat, showcasing a more sensual side of "Belfunk" for a sultry take on a quintessential piece of electronica.

Enjoy.

Preceding their album ‘Turns’ – out via Ostgut Ton on 25 November 2016 – Barker & Baumecker return with a double faced two track 12“. “Love Hertz” is a blissful, uplifting, melodic and – at times – bluesy UK Bass-inspired cut, shuffling and playfully flicking throughout. The record’s alternate lead track “Cipher” on the flip side is a rework of a two-part track from the forthcoming ‘Turns’ LP: while the album’s “Encipher & Decipher” puts focus on the home listening-aspect, this 12“es’ “Cipher” is made for the club. The track’s atmospheric build-up eventually turns in favor of a heavy, dark kick drum and multi-layered percussion, feeling at times as if the duo’s hammering onto Berghain’s steel staircase.

Buy 12"

Barker & Baumecker | Cipher

@EtappKyle’s first full Ostgut Ton EP release sees the Ukrainian-born, Berlin-based Berghain resident emphasizing the connection between spaces, while avoiding Techno’s overt intergalactic clichés. By partially linking to his ‘Continuum EP’ (Unterton, 2016), the results are four tracks of pristine, sci-fi minimalism, propelled by Ambient synths and percussive explosions in distant skies – more utopian than dystopian.

Sigha - Metabolism Remixes (TOKEN77)

TRACKLIST
a1 - Black Massing (Wata Igarashi 'Dusk Falls' Remix)
a2 - Morning Star (Marco Shuttle Remix)
b1 - Down (Function Remix)
b2 - Black Massing (Wata Igarashi 'Daylight Breaks' Remix)

Sigha’s lauded Metabolism album is further commended with a remix EP for Token 77. With three highly qualified label newcomers enlisted to the task of reimagining aspects of the album, the music is reworked into a new context to powerful effect. 
 
Wata Igarashi’s flourishing recognition as a producer with striking competence and flair has marked him as a valuable affiliate on the record. He demonstrates different areas of focus with two new versions of Black Massing. The Daylight Breaks Remix opens up the high-end, expressing the delicate harmonics of the original with rushing upward arpeggios. The Dusk Falls Remix instead hones in on the deep and anticipatory nature of its foundation. 
 
Marco Shuttle’s foreboding Morning Star remix feels skilfully subtractive, magnifying elements by adding space and drawing focus to its melodic asides. Function plays with the contemplative nature of Down in his version, adding dynamic percussion and energy while retaining its expression and depth.

Blame the treacherous winds of COVID pandemic and its concomitant quarantine, excessive drinking, zoom parties, and slow internet connections, but Delayed has clearly been binging on the dark sounds of dub techno lately.  We've certainly written our share of dub techno reviews.  And just when our dub techno crate started to overflow and to aurally blend into one giant ball of dark beats and muffled sounds, salvation comes to us straight out of the Vatican…or, at least, Rome.

Luigi Tozzi, one of the pre-eminent producers in hypnotic techno--a grey cardinal of dark beats if you will--must have either heard our muted cries at Delayed or must have also overdosed on dub during the pandemic: his remix of Orion's Lie takes a dubby dark skeleton and injects it with much-needed drive and energy.  The track is still a dark, sparse echo-y goodness, but it's been wakened from its dub coma by delicate percussive fluttering and distant atmospheric drops of sound that are Luigi's calling cards and that balance the track so well. It is as if a colorful little bird flew into a dungeon, surprising everyone and diluting the gloom. Here's hoping that this is not a canary in a coal mine!

Born in 1980 and raised in the Detroit area, Luke Hess has harnessed a deep appreciation for electronic music and the expression of the underground movement. 

His background in mathematics and engineering has given him a scientific approach to the dance floor, using frequencies, tones, and soundscapes to transform surroundings and mood. 
In 2003 he recorded his first promotional mix CD release for UR/Submerge. Since then, his faith based music production has landed him a seat with FXHE and Planet-e in Detroit. 

His debut album was released in early May 2009 by Denmark based label Echocord. 
In 2010 he began his own interpretation of Detroit techno with his new Detroit project and record label - DeepLabs. 

His sophomore album “Keep On” was released on FXHE records in 2012 and received a Recommended 4.5/5 rating on Resident Advisor. 

Hess is regarded as a perfectionist in his live sets and behind the decks layering his tracks in a very detailed and hypnotic manner. 
He has played at notable venues and events such as Tresor (Berlin), Culture Box (Copenhagen), Berghain (Berlin), Unit (Tokyo), Detroit Electronic Music Festival (Detroit), Fabric (London), The End Up (San Francisco), Golden Pudel (Hamburg), Sirup (Zagreb), Weekend Club (Berlin), Cubic Club (Madrid), Space (Ibiza), The Bunker (NYC) and many other venues all over the world. 

Luke’s continued hard work in the studio and in his performances combined with his unyielding interest in technology and sound will no doubt stimulate the boundaries of electronic music.
