Cardi B & Meghan Thee Stallion - WAP (Hedo Hydr8 Rehydrate)

A promising track of EP2, plays around with a catchy and naive vocal phrase, insisting that ‘Sometimes It’s Hard’. The statement, sung by a soft but mechanical female voice, is underlined by a glitchy and relentless breakbeat layered with visceral subs. The track’s weltschmerz disposition is equally seductive and destructive, which makes ‘Sometimes It’s Hard’ an unusual tune that will satisfy both seasoned ravers and a wider festival crowd.

EP2’s mesmerising cover art, a piece created for affected called ‘Crinoid Scanner’, was made by local 3D artist Caroline Vang. The work is inspired by the alien yet familiar look of crinoid fossils. Finding her inspiration in the most alien and quirky parts of nature, Vang specializes in an experimental and surreal play of texture and shape, to challenge the line between fiction and hyper-reality.

Sometimes It's Hard is mastered by SUGAR aka. Nikolaj Jakobsen in Copenhagen.

Hedo Hydr8 - Sometimes Its Hard

As I go through my post birthday existential crisis lethargic feels, and packing away my home for the last 5 years, I decided that I'm a pro procrastinator and decided to AD-DJ a little, cause it's been a while since I've mixed music at home, or made a mix in general. Here's a no planning, no fucks given, half distracted, but yet, somehow confident mix. Just a jam with no intention, no thoughts, playing a combination of tracks that I've enjoyed playing out recently. 

Does it make sense all the time? Not really, but neither does life. If you're going through the feels or having a hard time right now, this is for you. Whatever we're going through collectively, I see you, I feel you, let's get through this together. Lots of heavy shit happening on all aspects in the world right now, and I feel it all in my soul. Whatever you are going through, know you are not alone.

While fairly newer to the scene as a DJ, Dan Drogynous (they/them) is no stranger to the dance floor. With passion and roots connected to many styles of underground electronic music, Dan Drogynous seeks to create the dance floor experience that they love to indulge in. Emerging over the past couple years of the abyss, they have been keeping dancer floor dwellers on their toes, bringing a non-binary variety of flavours into their sets and keeping the journey fluid. They enjoy spinning the mood and story that they are currently experiencing.

Making their DJ debut on an Architextures live stream during the first year of the Pandemic, they have since been seen gracing the decks for Wiggle Room events and Camp Wiggly, Bloom, Impulse, Bassline, Generating Beatz, Friend Zone, Lossless, Phantom, Skeledance as well as renegade beach parties and house jams. Dan Drogynous loves experimenting with their sounds to create an interesting experience that ranges from house to techno to indie dance, four on the floor to breaks, deep and sexy to bouncy and groovy. They are also especially fond of some of the retro synth sounds of the 80’s and acid basslines of the 303’s.
