Slaloming between stations since early 2022, @tra_verse is an Amsterdam–based radio series and a music platform led by @lolobatten. Now expanding into a label, traverse presents its debut compilation: traversée.

We are thrilled to premiere one of the VA's tracks by @phobhorecords’ honcho @matteocoffetti, a deconstructed digi–jumble landscape full of bubbling basslines, dizzy polymeters and twisted vocal chops.

traversée 01 is set to release on May 31.

Premiere: Matteo Coffetti — yoosa poly twist

Our mix series is coming back at full force after more than a year of radio silence with Lolo Batten delivering a slow–burning mix that dusts off hidden gems in her collection. 

Hailing from Paris, Lolo is an emerging DJ, promoter and artist at the helm of traverse, an Amsterdam–based radio series and music label pushing a hypnotising collage of elastic bass and pulsating rhythms.

Deviant 040 — hermeneia

The first release from Markham Road comes in the form of a VA spined by frequent collaborators of its sister platform Infame Radio (@infameradio).

The nine tracks vary along a scale of percussive rhythms both relating to established and experimental ideas. As a trial in itself, this project took shape through exponential conversations between all those creatively involved.

"After releasing my album this year, I’ve been exploring experimental sounds using modular and vocals. When Dani approached me to be a part of this release alongside other incredible artists, I was eager to contribute an energetic club track. I’ve had the bassline and vocal idea in my mind for some time now and I set out to bring it to life using my arsenal of grooveboxes, modular synths, analog effects and a mixer. It took me few sessions to fine-tune the balances and dynamics, as I was determined to create a track that could be pitched, allowing people to choose their desired tempo." — Warzou
