FlowCast by Ebbs & Flows

Varaz (Steven Taelman, BE) returns to Moodfamily for a second time. His nifty synth work is this time accompanied by remixes of none other than Lawrence (Giegling), Dewalta & Moodfamily's very own AMyn.

Lovers of Berlin's nightly hours will certainly feel Baba Yaga's purpose. It's exactly how the boogeyman is supposed to come across: slightly haunting, in dark rooms, surrounded by smoke and people dancing as if they are summoning the demon of the early hours. 

Terribly awesome, horrifically effective yet it feels like divine intervention. Hauntingly beautiful.

The next instalment in our series comes from ANNX, recorded at Corsica Studios during the @snoozeafters night in collaboration with @crescent-london. It drifts through ambient soundscapes, nature-tinged downtempo, dubbed-out grooves, and irresistibly slow, squelchy basslines.

ANNX's mix is also available to watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/A4BwYA85LCc

Inspired by cities and dancefloors where she's lived and explored, ANNX’s unique seductive sound echos within her psychedelic selections across trance, prog, psy, techno, tech house, bass and more. 

Her distinct sound has gained her global visibility appearing on club and festival line-ups in the UK, France and Mexico including Gloria at Macadam, SinXcensura in Mexico and she is a resident DJ at Above Below Festival. 

Anna’s commitment to the scene goes beyond the booth, she carefully identifies niche sounds that are missing in the UK and has become a staple for psychedelic music on London's club circuit. In 2021, she founded Whomp, a non-profit party in London which she now co-runs with Lora Mipsum. In 2023, she started a brand-new project perspectives• with lighting designer Nicole Gordon. Most recently, she joined the Above Below music team. 

All is in flux. Nothing remains still.

Ebbs and Flows was chosen as the perfect platform to share a side of Romi's sound that is rarely played out but holds a very special place in his heart. The recording took place in Berlin at the studio of close friend Rami Abirafi, using CDJs and Technics 1200s.

Romi has been across the techno scene for decades, developing a vision for music that spans genres and moods. Bringing it all together coherently with a focus on deep, hypnotic sounds, he expresses this vision through Kizen's consistently high-quality output, that traverses multiple facets of electronic music.  A seasoned artist and world traveler now based in Berlin, Romi has spent over two decades creating atmospheric depths with an effortless touch.

After a bubbling idea of a specific mix in his head for a while and a lot of moments digging and soaking up summer inspiration - especially from dancing at festivals like pe:rsona - the idea of this mix finally found its shape. Known for exploring across genres and energies, he lets sounds evolve in the background until they’re ready to speak again. Please welcome @nuggetbln to the next epsiode of FlowCast series.

Returning to drum and bass felt natural - like riding a bike - reviving rhythm and memory with ease. Inspired by producers who keep pushing boundaries, he channels that same momentum and emotional depth throughout this set.

What emerged feels like a personal diary entry carved in sound - raw, fluid, and heartfelt. We're excited to finally share it - enjoy the ride!

FlowCast #010 | nugget

Tact Recordings’ first release of 2018 drops in March courtesy of Nacieae, accompanied by a pair of astounding remixes from label bosses Yard One and fletcher. Tact Recordings has established itself as a label known for pushing consistently quality productions across bo th digital and physical formats since it’s inception in 2011.

Fletcher, brings his remix of  001.1’, a groovy after hours track while maintaining the delicate and mellow qualities of the original piece. The precision of the drums arrangement is carefully curated by Fletcher creating an atmospheric and groovy sense. The background sound selection is out of this world, design to alter your state of mind with an eerie and supernatural sound. 

Fletcher, demonstrates how comfortable he is using white noise in his production, not only as background filler but as an instrument of its own. Not to many producers can get away with such technique, and for that…Kudos Fletcher. 
early support from Traumer, Cinthie, Machine Woman, Saphire Slows...

Nacieae ‘001.1’ is out on Tact Recordings on 16th March 2018 so be sure to get your hands on this release.

Swallowed Up in an Unalterable Dream

ninca leece is new to thesongsays, but not new to the scene. a trained musician, a jogger, and damn good cook, she's been toiling for years in studios and on small computers far and wide. with an album already under her belt on bureau b (a sub-label of tapete records), she brings her forward-thinking productions to thesongsays ... and romantic techno moves forward. feed me rainbows is the result of ninca's fairy tale-like productions. and by "fairy tale," we mean there's a story behind it: hidden in the claps, in the wall of sound, the soft kicks and bubbling bass lines, there's something delicate and magical moving through it constantly, something not easily pin-ponted. perhaps the answers are in those whispers stretching throughout? or maybe it's when the clouds of noise part, when the abstract melodies subside midway and we are left with the bare bones of the track - a single guitar plucking harmonics, underpinned by a strangely disharmonic whine. by the track's end, and like all good cliff-hangers, we are left with a sensation that something else is going to happen. our happiness wasn't in vain but more of an investment in what's to come. we feel there is a sequel ... and we hope there's even more after that. feed me rainbows two on the b side, public lover (ninca leece and bruno pronsato) take this fairy tale to a more sultry and conclusive level: turning the beauty into something naughty, a one-night stand if you will. and what better way than a huge bass line, rhodes, and the couple singing in her native french, "donne-moi des arcs-en-ciel?" as a whole, public lover seems to be grabbing minute pieces here and there from the original, teasing you for an entire 16 minutes of vocal snippets, rhodes, bubbles, ninca blowing her nose, and wobbly guitars. it's ladies night in their story, and we feel it's a sure-fire after-hour cut exclusively for only the dingiest parties ... we hope you agree.
