DUSK. | Mix Series

DUSK. is a concept designed to showcase all forms of raw electronic dance music. Throughout each month, podcasts are released by artists from a selected roster. Each release contains in-depth information on the background and connections to the different genres and sub-genres. The aim is to elevate both known and unknown artists. 

The main pillars of DUSK. are settling. Expect even broader planning to come up with continuous offline and online experiences in the upcoming year.

Mix Series

Nite Fleit

Our promise of sitting still after a dancing packed ADE couldn’t last forever, hence why we have the perfect artist to get you going again: The Australian-born, London-based Nite Fleit has cultivated a distinct, uncompromising sound of her own, setting the club circuit ablaze, through refined DJ sets and genre-melding original productions. 

A kaleidoscopic palette of influences, ranging from golden-era rave and EBM, to contemporary electro and acid, runs through the artist’s recorded works. Distilling years of idiosyncrasies as a curator, Nite Fleit’s left-of-centre body music gems quickly caught the ears of many esteemed electro and techno elites, resulting in releases on Steel City Dance Discs, Return to Disorder, Planet Euphorique, Looking For Trouble and Unknown To The Unknown.

2020 did not slow things down on the creative side and made Nite Fleit more productive and creative than ever. In 2021 next to finally get the crowd going again at events like Butik and in fabric next to the likes of Helena Hauff, Sync24 x Alienata and The Hacker, she also released EPs on her own Atomic Alert (Sycophantic Romantic), International Chrome (The Truth) and the absolute kick-ass Acid Avengers 018 on Tripalium Corp together with the boss False Persona.  

Full-fledged acidic warfare joined by stomping 808s is exactly what we needed after this weekend, consider us entertained.

LUZ1E

Very fitting that when we celebrate 100K plays in 2021 we come across this party animal: Eclecticism is the keyword when it comes to the musical taste of LUZ1E. Based on her love of harsh drums, weird bleeps and bouncy basslines, she interweaves dark Electro with complex Breaks, Bass, Techno and the occasional dreamy bop.

Born and raised in Frankfurt she quickly developed a keen interest in electronic music when her brother introduced her to early House music. Inspired by the dance sound of Detroit, Chicago, New York and the UK she translates diverse sonic influences into her sets and productions released under labels such as
Lobster Theremin, Shall not Fade, International Chrome and Voitax, building a bridge between classic tunes and new sounds combining them into a notion of
Futuretroism.

Sharing stages with D.Dan, Mama Snake, Innershades, IMOGEN and in two weeks an insane B2b with Cyan85 joining the likes of Mall Grab &The Advent at OXI, so be sure to check that out. 

Let her music do the talking.

P. Vanillaboy 

On the shortest day of the northern hemisphere, we celebrate our 4 year anniversary and who better to do it with than with the party-starter himself: the big boss P.Vanillaboy.

He is a producer from Berlin who just made his vinyl debut on Dj Swaggers' Goddess Music with his EP called "ManyMe" which is a certified banger and exactly what we've all come to love him for ( like the epic Heute Sport for example). 
His blend of ghettotech, breakbeat, electro with a splash of acid makes you want to get up out of your seats and right back to that dancefloor, and this mix is no different, it mostly contains tracks of his friends, tracks he has made himself and tracks that kept getting into his shuffle for the past year.

He ensures us that he is beyond happy to share this funny mix collection of songs with the www, wishes everyone a great last few days of the year and very kindly asks corona to piss off (respectfully of course). 

We are honoured that he makes his online mix debut for our anniversary and hope to make him your dancefloor firestarter for 2022. Lets get it. 

Let his music do the talking.

Any Act

Next up we have this scintillating batch of 4 producers, each wild in their own way. 
Their roots go back to punk rock hailing from the time when we played in a rock band, they took that mindset to their experimentation with electronic music and started moving in this direction.
Finding like-minded souls in Hesperman's Private Person crew, they played a a handful of their events joining the likes of Low Tape, Locked Club, Formally Unknown, Yssue and plenty more. 

In their words; "Our music serves the world and the rave." Now that is a powerful statement, lets get it.

Let their music do the talking.

James Shinra

Episode 190 is represented by an artist who produces energy and vibrations which are in very close correlation to the soul of our label: blending anything and everything from braindance to electro, setting you on your journey on a futuristic vessel through the space-time continuum. 

In his releases on Further Electronix, Exalt Records, Analogical Force & 20:20 Visions he varies in telling stories about dystopian worlds to wrecking dancefloors with glitchy bangers, which is actually the perfect summary of this pearl of a mix.

Alienata

Spanish-born, Berlin-based Alienata is a self-described sound obsessive
whose sets span obscure electro, ACID, dub, IDM, dark disco, hypnotic techno, industrial atmospheres, breakbeats, cosmic jazz , UK electro, Detroit, Chicago influences and crazy sounds in general. A former philosophy student with a particular interest in mysticism, Alienata began DJing in 2004. In conjunction with Valencia's Overflow Collective, she not only served as a resident DJ but also participated in theatre and music technology workshops and oversaw its label operations. Her earliest contact with Germany's music scene came through Leipzig's Homoelektrik collective, and upon moving to Berlin in 2011, she quickly found an adoptive family in the Killekill label and associated Krake Festival. This relationship helped make her a respected mainstay in clubs in Berlin, Germany and Europe, but her international profile has been steadily increasing each year: NYC, Chicago, Sydney, Melbourne, Bogotá, Moscow. In recent times we have been able to experience its genuine style in booths like Fabric, Panorama
Bar or ADE. When behind the decks, Alienata is closely attuned to both internal and external influences and is unconcerned with providing listeners with an outstanding and energetic experience. It is not strange that legends like Dave Clarke (who recently played a B2B in ADE) DJ Stingray, Ben Sims or Ron Morelli have expressed all their support and respect for her.

With all that knowledge behind and a true love for music she decided to start her own imprint “Discos Atónicos” in 2017 where she can materialize all its varied influences, counting on legendary artists like Beta Evers, Dez Williams, Artificiero, BS-1 or Cosmic Force.

While primarily focusing on DJing, Alienata has released a few different records & remixes in recent years with collaborations with Snuffo of the jacking Snuff Crew & Sync24 -CEO of the legendary UK electro imprint Cultivated Electronics- Her most recent contribution has been to the great Ben Sims ‘Tribology’ Compilation, together with artists of the size of Robert Hood, James Ruskin or Mark Broom.
Since 2017 she hosts a monthly show called ‘Nova Express’ on the French LYL radio.

Craigie Knowes

The duo Max & Mitch have been playing records together for over 10 years now despite still being in their 20s. This coupled with running one of the most well-respected underground labels to come out of the UK in recent years, has led the pairing to have a varied & extensive record collection with knowledge & understanding of the craft well beyond their years. 


This translates into energized dancefloors across Europe, a monthly Rinse FM show, and a residency at infamous Aberdeen nightspot The Tunnels as well Glasgow’s Sub Club & La Cheetah,  the latter from which they still run their label parties. The trailblazing duo knows how to keep the dance floor pumping, transcending genres, and playing tracks with the club in mind alongside rare hidden gems only the most ardent digger can find. They play with fluidity & energy that can only be achieved by having spent thousands of hours DJing alongside each other and having a deep understanding of what makes dancefloors tick.

Lake Haze

We finally have the pleasure of handing over the captaincy of our journey to one of the key figures to represent Lisbon; Gonçalo Salgado, the face behind the moniker Lake Haze. With vinyl releases at Creme Organization, Cultivated Electronics, Shall Not Fade, and Unknown To The Unknown his unique and adaptable style of production is displayed in the entire spectrum of electronic music. From House to IDM to Electro, Gonçalo proved that there are no boundaries or limitations to his creative process. 

Having a substantial connection with the RotterHague sound & scene generates the sheer luxury that we are no strangers, here in The Netherlands, to the energy this man brings to the table. With performances at TodaysArt, The Crave, Private Persons x Pinkman, Intergalactic FM, and Crème Orgazationto to name a few, you can see that we are huge admirers of his talent. Add to that his international appearances at stages like Griessmuehle, ://about blank, Le Sucre, and next to likes of JEANS, LMajor, Fasme, Mani Festo, Privacy, Borai, Sync24, Egyptian Lover and so many others, and you start to get an understanding of the vast amount of inspiration behind this magnate.

A.Fruit

We close out this roster with an audiophile, an explorer of the universe of sound, and an eager researcher of the relationships between music and people. A.Fruit’s music reflects her inner world and emotional interactions with the outer world.

Anna Fruit was born in 1989 in Moscow, which was still USSR at the time. Her passion for music began in childhood at school, she played the guitar and sang her songs to friends. In 2008, while studying sociology at Moscow State University, she discovered Ableton Live, and it changed her life. She started making music and decided to get a second education as a sound engineer to improve her craft. In 2012 Anna graduated from the University and simultaneously completed her certificate in audio engineering. Then, for some years she worked as a sound technician on TV channels, in parallel continuing to produce electronic music. 

A.Fruit found her 160 bpm-focused sound somewhere between her longtime love of DnB, jungle, hip-hop, and especially footwork. Her professional music career began in 2015, fast forward to 2023 and she has built an impressive discography with 8 EPs and a multitude of original tracks and remixes on compilations worldwide. Her music has appeared on labels including YUKU, Cosmic Bridge, Med School, Teklife, Rua Sound, Sequel One Records, Black Marble Collective, and plenty more. On tours, Anna delivers a blend of 160-170 bpm from footwork and jungle to future beats and halftime.
Outside of her music, A.Fruit creates sound effects and music of other genres for PC games (Gremlins, Inc., Spire of Sorcery, Pathfinder) and provides digital mastering in her home studio.

Hassan Abou Alam

We are truly honoured to welcome one of Egypt’s most defining musical exports to the series. Steadily publishing his work since 2008, Hassan has been featured on a variety of labels across the globe such as Rhythm Section, Banoffee Pies, Naive, Casa Voyager, and many more! 

For the past 15 years, he has been playing around with his gear, forging multiple live performances. A hard-to-pin-down sound that utilizes analog and digital instruments, a form of organized chaos that he portrays with extreme finesse—his Boiler Room set is a testament to his genre-bending capabilities. Through Red Bull’s RBMA Abou Alam was given a chance to mingle musically with the ancient people of Luxor. The result? A phenomenal live performance in Cairo fusing traditional folklore with electronica, successfully pinning him as one of Egypt’s most versatile musicians.

Aletha

Lydia hails from Manchester but has strong roots in Leeds & Liverpool, she began her DJ career as a regular contributor to radio for the likes of NTS, Jazz FM, and Melodic Distraction. Her eclectic and intriguing track selections and mixes have led to regular residencies for some of the best stations in the UK including Rinse FM and Worldwide FM.
					
As the radio audiences grew, so did her contact list as tastemakers and promoters began booking Aletha for clubs across the UK including support slots for the likes of Bradley Zero, Mr. Scruff, and Zakia. Her genre-blending sets plus a versatile and impressive mixing style was quickly picked up by some of the biggest brands including a residency for The Warehouse Project in her hometown of Manchester.
					
If 2022 was about building presence, 2023 has been about breaking through; with Fabric, Printworks, and Beams added to an impressive gig list including invites on the Sulta Selects show, Honey Dijon’s Southbank showcase, and The Warehouse Projects international debut in Rotterdam. As well as a busy schedule across Europe and beyond, 2023 has included the sell-out launch of her own night CITRIC.
					
This summer a packed-out set at Glastonbury was followed by a special B2B with Amaliah on the main garden stage at Love International, Croatia with other summer festival appearances including Dimensions, Parklife, and Lost Village to name just a few. With plans for another CITRIC show, a debut track release, and a busy calendar of shows, 2023 looks set to be the year that ALETHA is widely accepted as one of the finest DJs in the club scene.

Deets

Our next artist got behind the decks in early 2020, and she has never looked back. With her distinguished sound and approach to the craft of DJ-ing, she has wrapped her hands around several residencies (OOST, Ongehoord, Relate Radio) in Groningen and has had gigs at renowned venues and organizations such as Paradigm, POING, and VISION Recordings. 

Within her sets, anything goes as long as it's groovy, bassy, ravey, or all of the above. Characterised by blending contrasting structures such as experimental vs. danceable, electronic vs. organic elements, and light vs. dark while layering tracks to form unity and new shapes throughout her sets and applying devil-may-care experimentation in her mixing style. You’ll be cruising on fat basslines, old-school grooves, refined soundscapes, and infectious percussions, with some uplifting vocals and a sprinkle of funk to liven up the ride: end station undisclosed. 
Her latest iteration is no different; diving into her archives, she brewed a concoction of 140-172BPM bass-heavy & wobbly sounds, moody synths, and vocals, mixing down to a 4decks layered listening masterclass. 

She also works in the background within a few organisations to give back to the community and help (beginning) artists and organizers get the best out of themselves.
Next to that, she's working on her concepts, including Auditory Oasis on Relate Radio, an experimental approach to escapism to guide the listener into new musical realms.

Ex.Hale

Our third artist in October is none other than Italian multidisciplinary artist Francesco Presotto with his moniker Ex.Hale. His sound is characterized by dark, atmospheric textures that are driven by a modern vision of club music. The project is focused on the deconstruction of common compositional standards with the addition of crushing rhythm structures that establish the unusual framework of his subversive approach. With releases on Sonic Groove, Rudiment, and Voidance, in addition to soundtracks for fashion runways and design companies and to an increasing number of performances in clubs, museums and festivals around Europe, Ex.Hale has become a formidable force in electronic and experimental music.

Brutuzz

In short, this man needs little introduction other than getting your bass face ready for 68 minutes of sub-oscillation.

Orsu

The first artist of November is here, co-founder of French label Nebuleuse, Orsu is deeply influenced by a wide range of high-intensity music; ranging from psychedelic, and experimental to IDM soundscapes. As an avid musical storyteller, he likes to guide the listeners through mental and mystical journeys. Today's iteration will be about reconnecting with the frantic rhythm of primitive bass and percussion, a dynamic return to our primal roots and basic instincts.

Miri Malek

Our second artist of November is none other than the Iranian-Scottish producer and DJ, Miri Malek. Currently based in Berlin, they are playing all flavours of bass music, with a focus on high-energy percussive grooves and peculiar textures. Miri is a resident DJ at the queer-trans-centred collective Exude, which launches next month. 

In this mix they opted for higher-than-usual BPMs for a playful hour of breakbeat, experimental bass, grime & dnb; "There's so much mind-blowing bass music coming out at the moment that I feel lucky to have access to, and increasingly hearing this sound in queer spaces brings me immense joy."

SIM

Getting skanky with it on episode 286 provided by the Intercontinental Bass Activist, SIM. This producer & dj pushes the boundaries in Dancehall, Techno and UK Garage fusions. His work has been noted around the world, from the US to Jamaica, to the UK, highlighting key elements of the Hardcore Continuum. Taking up the sound theories of Lee 'Scratch' Perry, King Tubby and Dave Kelly or Techno pioneers such as Plastikman or Jeff Mills, SIM explores the relationship between space, body and sound.

It was in 2018 with the release of 'Pu$$ycat' with the Catalans duo Crimen Pasional that SIM was heard on a global scale. Since then, the Montreal producer has released more than 50 works, including several collaborations with 45Diboss, Epic B and Toumba, as well as remixes with Poirier, Leïla Lanova and Mina, among others. SIM was able to undertake several tours, including an American one in 2018, as well as in Europe in 2019, 2022 and a next one in 2023.

His latest releases include 'Sulum EP' on Darwin's SPE:C Records, ‘Trance End’ on the French Label Riddim Supplies and 'SINNAZ EP' with NAP on the ISLA Records label, 'Hollow' on the NH V/A Vol. 4 by Nervous Horizon, and 'Terminate EP' on the same label.

gboi 

Closing out November with Bad Tips head honcho, gboi. He has made a lasting impression on the French electronic scene for the last 10 years. Starting with the creation of  Chineurs  de  House alongside  Jean  Mi,  a diggers and music enthusiasts’ community and label, which ( combined with its  sub-genres communities) would play  an  essential  role  within  the  French  electronic scene.

Diversifying himself; be it on labels like Comic Sans Records, MAGMA196, Silure Albinos Fishing Club, and of course Bad Tips, or within the collective 2SIK or his role at Underscope, gboi has reinforced his artistic universe, with a borderless musical signature of his own, methodically oscillating between club music and techno.

His thought process behind episode 287: “As a versatile DJ, I always try to build a set like no one would, drawing tunes from my latest research and trying to tell a story that fits my current energy by blending genres and changing BPM.
Here's to another boundary pushing set for which there's no need to tryna put a label on.
Including exclusive forthcoming tracks to be released on Bad Tips.”

Fujita Pinnacle 

Our next artist is an up and coming artist from Ljubljana, Slovenia. His production and live performances pay tribute to the old-school rave legacy, while also incorporating unpredictable bits of internet-age freshness and ex-yu influence, always creating explosive dancefloor ordeals to look out for.

His thought process captured it brilliantly; “Bit of an all-rounder as appropriate for the end of the year! Lots of my go-to tracks in this one, but also some newly discovered gems and oldschool classics thrown in on the fly. Enjoy!”

Process 404

Drawing inspiration from all the raw electronic music corners, this man brings a fine balans between the 90's approach to techno; hard & swinging. And he has a record to show for it: having released on record labels like Kolkoz, Obscuur, Molekül and raising the temperature in venues all over like tonight's event System in Magazine Club Lille.
Not to mention RAW Agency taking him in as one of their prospects, so without further ado:

KI/KI

Energetic, eclectic & diverse. Those are the words to describe the refreshing sound this Amsterdam based powerhouse delivers. While being relatively new to the scene, her combination of rave and punchy trance originating from the past century has granted her some major perks already: A residency at the infamous Spielraum, her own show called 'New Rave' at Operator Radio and maybe most notably a debut performance in De School during De Nieuw.

Mark our words: this one will end up in your favourites.

Let her music do the talking.

Cyan85

Hailing from the rough depths of Eastern Germany, Cyan85 brings a diverse sound to the thriving electro scene that drifts effortlessly from soulful and warm sun-drenched anthems, right through to in-the-red, robotic slammers. This man's love for 808s & synthesizers became very evident with, one of our favourite albums of the year, his Voitax release "Lucid Intervals".

We hope to see this man live in action behind the decks in 2021 & are very much looking forward to his upcoming 12" releases on several labels. But for now, he will curate our 3y anniversary edition in felicitous fashion.

Let his music do the talking.

Djinn

The final episode of January is provided by Manchester junglist & underground regular; Djinn. Starting out in breakbeat, 2000 drum’n’bass, 90’s jungle & oldschool hardcore before evolving into her current-day heavyweight precision of brooding minimal drum’n’bass, deep rolling beats & dark menacing amenism.
 
 Over the years she has dropped her distinctive selection at countless events across the UK & played internationally for over a decade; touring North America, Australia, playing in the Middle East & representing regularly in Europe.

 Her releases on Foundation X & Repertoire are still absolute weapons & there is still some unannounced on the way, also be sure to check out her event(with a stellar promo mix series) - Formless, which focuses on the deeper side of new & oldschool jungle & drum’n’bass.
