The second Jamming Is Life release comes from Amsterdam's hidden gem RDS. After a close friendship of almost a decade, I feel proud to showcase his work on my imprint. 
His signature style flows from the use of dusty machines dating back further than himself. Including many limitations in his process, inspiration is bound to erupt, and you clearly hear it on this record. 

Let it speak to you :)

RDS - Chronicles (JIL002)

Born and raised on the island of Mauritius, @djsportt is now based in Barcelona. With a love for polyrhythmic, bouncy, mind-bending sounds, she brings up disorienting rhythms playing between tension and release, keeping listeners engaged in ever-shifting sonic landscapes.
She crafts a distinctive sound within the deeper, bass-driven and psychedelic realms of club music. Her DJ sets are driven by an adventurous, storytelling approach, focussing on channelling into the depths of textures and intricate rhythms.
 
For this mix, she explores a slightly different selection than usual, focussing on deep and dubby techno evolving into breaks and bass, maintaining a kind of warm-up energy all the way.

Folding the ambient techno tradition into neatly arranged packets of rhythm and space, Delsin proudly presents a striking new collaboration from Tobias. and Doltz. A project developed from a chance encounter, Versus combines classic synth and drum machine configurations with needlepoint sound design to create a quintessential electronica listening experience.

Tobias. is the lead alias from Tobias Freund (@tobias-freund), the celebrated German techno pioneer who has been actively exploring new territories in electronic music production since the early 1980s. As Doltz (@doltzdeep), Shun Watanabe has quickly developed his own impressive artistic stamp in the field of leftfield techno and ambient since debuting in 2020. After seeing Doltz perform a live set at Eden Festival 2024 in Japan, Freund instantly invited him to collaborate. After the success of the first collaboration, they went on to develop five of the tracks on Versus together, while Jiawen Wang performed additional vocals on 'We Are Not Alone'.

Versus is an album that balances variety and consistency across its finely sequenced run time, maintaining a focus on pointillist, exploratory rhythm from crisp drum machines and twitchy digitalia alike, all backed up by richly rendered atmospherics from gaseous pads to icy drones. It's a warm and inviting sound world, but also fearlessly futuristic, speaking to both Freund's decades of refinement and the startling clarity of Doltz's vision.

Mexican-Jamaican dj/producer Andy Martin blends sci-fi techno with Latin Caribbean sounds creating a futuristic edge. His latest album, Antiguos Astronautas, is a musical exploration that merges techno with Native American futurism and has received a positive response from the music community.

This summer he will be performing at renowned European festivals and clubs in Croatia, Spain, France and Germany. 

This set has a deep, dubby, and trippy vibe, with a lot of atmospheric pads mixed with hypnotic rhythms and elements that resemble organic percussion.

This month, we are thrilled to feature a mix from The Visions Reel. The artist behind the project, Adam Jade, is a music producer based in the South West of England whose works delve into cinematic, emotionally-driven electronic music, with an increasing emphasis on intricate melodies and carefully crafted sound design.

With releases on labels such as Kizen, Re:st, and others, Adam also co-runs Captured Visions, a cassette label alongside Tom Barefoot, which focuses on ambient music that highlights atmosphere and texture.

This mix is a 2-hour recording from a party in London last year, hosted by Unknown Species—one of Adam's favourite events in the UK and a very special night.

Fresh off the release of her excellent debut album ‘Percussive reverie’, we welcome Aerae for MNMT 462. Aerae's music is shaped by the organic and unpredictable forces of the natural world. In the hands of the rising French artist, techno, downtempo and drum & bass are molded into unrecognizable forms, where evolving textures lock into enveloping and ritualistic grooves. 

Tune in now for a deep trip diving into the psychedelic pulse of Aerae's sound. As the mix descends into the abyss of sonic sorcery and tribalistic hypnotism, you just might lose yourself, or your grip on reality - but for a mix this good it’s a price worth paying.

MNMT 462 : Aerae

Standards & Practices is proud to present the new full-length collaborative release from Stave & Karim Maas, "Into Eternity". Comprised of material that emerged from a particularly fruitful session following their first collaborative effort ("Godless", on the Bristol-based imprint UVB-76), their second LP picks up where that release left off with eight tracks of sleek and brutal bass & breaks music, demonstrating the same kind of disciplined rigor, focus, and attention to detail that characterized their first collaboration together.

From the terse, sinuous opener "Invaders Will Die (The Falling Tsar)"—which moves and prowls like a snake stalking its prey, to the low-slung and corrosive "Liar" and "For A Shaking Mind" (both of which brings to mind some of Mick Harris's work as Scorn), the entire set has a sustained atmosphere of existential dread and brooding menace that is difficult to shake.

For this week's edition we are happy to feature Astrover, Ben Parkin, hailing from London. Astrover is an up-and-coming artist who yields the skill to present a variety of intricate sounds and sequences. Despite his young age of 20 years, he pushes a deft touch of rhythms and has already released two solid tracks to date.

Originally from Manchester, he immersed himself in different musical facets and sets out with intent to demonstrate this through his works. In this mix, hypnotic textures are mixed with dazzling, resonant pulses. A piece of fine art with blissful, atmospheric techno. Enjoy.

PREORDER - https://murmursrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/sonic-iterations-vol-1

This collection of music sits naturally as the first release on murmurs, exhibiting some of my favourite sounds and artists from around the world. It explores various moods of dance music, setting the sonic foundations of the label and giving a glimpse of more to come.

~ Through the furthest reaches of our feeling and thought, whispers of familiarity bring solace. It is this essence which simultaneously restricts and expands imagination. Let the adventurous nature of our beings embrace that which was, is and will be, in all its unfamiliarity. For only then can we comprehend the auditory murmurs of time. ~
