Zodiac Childs

It is all about timing; with their debut album "Atoms To Atoms" across three stunning pieces of vinyl coming later this month, the timing is perfect for a 55min mix with a good few unreleased/up and coming tracks from Zodiac Childs and some of their favourite artists alongside tried and tested heaters old and new. 

Zodiac Childs channels the spirit of UK hardcore; sonically leaning on the sounds of electro, classic breaks and techno. They tend to take their audience on a journey across the entire nightlife experience, from atmospheric opener to the energy of abandoned northern English factories and mills, rusted and empty yet filled by 303 basslines. 

With otherworldly EP releases on Exalt, Further Electronix and their own Zodiac Wax they will now finally add to their impressive discography with their new LP:

‘This album is a proper snapshot into the mind of Zodiac Childs & the foundation of what’s to come. It’s all about a genuine vibe, a feeling, a love for playing with energy & emotion. A rich tapestry of sound, not being confined to a specific genre & a constant obsession with analogue synths & hardware reverbs’ 

- Zodiac Childs

It will be released on the 26th of November but you can already preorder it on their Bandcamp.

Bristol resident lee makes blissed out/spacey eletro-acid and break-beat driven IDM. His sound is characterised by an unhealthy penchant for Roland TR drum patterns, ethereal pads and tasty acid lines. lee’s tunes owe a great deal to the traditional god-fathers of Braindance but also more recent influences such as Wisp, Microlith and even Burial.

lee received his first break in 2018 with the release of ‘Solace’ on the now defunct Calcul Records. Following this, he became involved in X4 Records with a track included on every VA compilation they have released.

In 2020, lee released his debut album ‘Alcyonian’ on Concrete Collage followed later by the self-released ‘Kindred/Ditty’ single later that year.

A string of releases on other VAs occurred throughout 2020, including tracks on the Five Year Anniversary CD for Evel Records, on the VA for the mysterious Gablonkers collective and on the Creation of a Positron VA for the Bristol-based Sci-Fact label.

In 2022, lee signed-up to put out that notoriously difficult second album on Artificial Intelligence, as well as contributing a track to Artificial Intelligence’s Vol. II. The new album ‘For Emma’ is out on vinyl on Artificial Intelligence on the 30th December.

This podcast showcases lee’s sound over a relatively short four year musical career. lee says “It was fun putting all the tracks I’ve released over the years into one thing. You kind-of forget about tracks once they’re done. It’s strange to think that people might listen to all of it. Well done to any who makes it through to the end, and I hope you enjoyed it!”

Based in Athens, Anna vs June approach to electronic music - subtly opening a dialogue with local music traditions - feeds a wide range of mesmerizing and delicate sonic presences I personally discovered with her 2023 album "Ersi" released on @subjecttorestrictions Enchanted voices, repetitive patterns, progressive structures - like getting closer to an intangible secret which will disapear as soon as it has been heard, this is how precious her music appears to me !

Bringing the far eastern experience to her DJ sets, Casper is a sound of the times. Blending bass music with techno and implementing experimental, ambient and downtempo genres too, Casper’s sets have a unique way of careening into other styles while remaining resolutely focused, but not restricted to, just the club.

Feed The Void w/ Birds & Inga Vy - 23rd April 2024

Up and rising talent of the belgian electronic scene, DJ and now tireless producer, Clara is known for her personal approach in her electrifying sets, navigating between raw grooves and more hypnotic techno. You can expect that the energy will always lead the way.

Clara D @ Kiosk Radio 29.04.2024

Following 2020’s 'Point Vacancies', the debut EP from Jamie Paton and Mike Bourne’s collaborative act Metal, the duo return with a trio of dubwise remixes from Mr Paton himself as well as a peak-time stormer from fellow Bristol artist, Hodge. The latter immediately sets the record ablaze with a driving thump, duo of grainy hi-hats and a chalky clap. He layers an anthemic three-chord pad progression, building octaves, peppering in arpeggiated bleeps and articulate lead melodies, then tops it off with a few modular elements that retain the character of the original, before climaxing in true rave fashion. Proper. The following three mixes by Metal’s own Jamie Paton make apparent his sonic obsession — the type of infinite tweaking that sees some artists/producers to the edge of madness, or at the very least satisfies some dragon-chasing addiction. There’s a successive deconstruction from 'Remix' to 'Dubwise' to 'Dubwise II', most notably a reduction of rhythm and drum machinery, but also in general tonality. The melody remains central but is gradually obscured, taking on a less and less recognizable form, and by the end we’re left with a skeleton of the track, quips and cranks, an assembly line of aluminum sheeting punctuated by demented nuts and bolts. As with the previous EP, the sparsity of elements illustrates just how far one can twist aesthetics, proving that self-imposed limitations can often propel an artist’s process and land them somewhere unfamiliar, somewhere foreign, somewhere enchanted.
