"My dream sunrise with the morning ravers,
Holding a hand, blowing a kiss, a squish, and a hug. slow dancing with one last beer. looking out the window and feeling the sun kiss and I realize I don't want to go home just yet. let me have my one last song!"

recorded in Philadelphia, USA.

After a short break, in Passing tides is back with it's first guest of 2025 ~ @xivro ! 

following slyn's signature relaxing wash, xivro shares 28 minutes of sounds for ambient dreams. swaying in and out of a dream world that's filled with fuzzy, cushioned bass, emotive trance fringes, and torpid voice notes, they dip in and out of aural realities and fading memories.

Out soon on Rank + File Records

We're back with another mind-bending mix coming from the Belgian scene, courtesy of Loto Retina. In the second mix in a series of two mixes curated by Mika Oki, Loto delivers a tough, bass-heavy journey full of distorted low ends and a punk edge.

Mika Oki: "When you step into Loto’s music world, there is no going back. Loto is one of the most talented aliens I’ve had the pleasure to meet. If they had enough hands, they would play drums, bagpipes, tabla, guitar and keys at the same time. Their performances are not just music, it’s a full-on experience with generous, colourful, percussive sounds. A vibe that only Loto can dish out with pure authenticity, no half  measures."

Astral VIP (and more) are here to remedy the monotony! by rehashing what you’ve already heard? but alas, no one is perfect. Outliers and outcasts have always created pockets in the mould of the city, smoke and wubs away from the lights and hammer. This collection of 14 tracks comes from such a dent, representative of different scenes all dedicated to this approach, coming from dank corners, away from big business.

Our offering is a tribute to the mix CDs of dance before (Global Underground et al), with AVIP’s very own Dugong on the 1s and 2s blending contributions from analogous crew into one continuous mix. Future-past made present, for potentially discontinued CD drives. For the sake of tangibility, in times that surge ahead regardless.

All profits from this compilation are being donated to 3EZWA Legal Fund, to help financially assist those facing draconian legal fees as part of the current protest movement in solidarity with Palestine & Lebanon.

Mediatic Breakdown

The debut single by Lint.

Recorded live at kwia, Berlin, using a process called smudging—sampling and layering infinite delay tails into drifting, textured loops. The Origin Mix captures the piece in its raw, hypnotic form.

From the upcoming Appendix.files release featuring six remixes.

Belly Up

"Electroménager’s very first transmission sees the day, with a solo EP entitled '800mg' from Manchester based Thodén, including a remix by Perko.

Taking inspiration from the uk’s unique bass and techno scene, Thodén delivers 4 carefully crafted tracks that explore sophisticated rhythms and dark heavy percussion, all pulled together by dreamy breakdowns to conduct those essential moments of euphoria on the dance floor. To finish it off; Numbers affiliate, Perko, produces his own take on ‘Specialist’, which results in nothing other than a dubby masterpiece driven by a charging kick.

Recommended for both home and club appliance."
