Dutch-born but Brussels-based Zeta Lys aka Lucia (@zetalys) has a club-ready sound that draws on a world of broken rhythms and heavy percussion. Her influential radio show at The Word Radio finds her head into all new genre pockets around the globe and she has previously stood out at our Dekmantel Selectors festival. Lucia also composes for film and video and techniques from both disciplines inform and inspire her work with the result being music that is rich in dynamic narrative and ever-evolving mood. 

Her selection for us is prickly and fizzing with fresh rhythmic patterns. Static electricity, warped basslines and distorted synths bring great movement from the off as mutated and broken techno, dystopian jungle and deconstructed club rhythms all collide at great speed. It's an involving selection that combines many different worlds with great control, ramping up and then smoothing out the grooves at whim.

Following the resonating success of their initial collaboration, the TLF Trio—comprising Danish cellist Cæcilie Trier (CTM), pianist Jakob Littauer, and guitarist Mads Kristian Frøslev—reunites on Latency with electronic music legend Moritz von Oswald for the follow-up to their debut album, Sweet Harmony.

TLF Trio, along with Moritz von Oswald, once again delves into the realm of chamber music, this time with two new songs further exploring the intricate acoustic dynamics of their instruments with electronics. As the second instalment in this musical journey, New Songs & Variations builds upon the minimalist, sculptural, and narrative qualities of its predecessor, weaving a tapestry of expressive and plural voices.

Moritz von Oswald, a central figure in the electronic music scene since the early 90s, brings his wealth of experience to the project, reinterpreting two of TLF Trio’s previous works. From his early days as a classical percussionist to groundbreaking collaborations in the techno sphere, von Oswald’s influence has left an indelible mark. His role in co-founding Basic Channel/​Rhythm & Sound/​Maurizio and contributions to the Berlin-Detroit-Chicago axis have defined various strains of modern music.

New Songs & Variations not only captures the rich history and influence of Moritz von Oswald but also showcases his ongoing exploration into classical, experimental, and improvisational contexts. From recomposing Ravel and Mussorgsky’s music for Deutsche Grammophon to acclaimed collaborations with jazz trumpeter Nils Petter Molvær, composer Laurel Halo, or Afrobeat pioneer Tony Allen, von Oswald’s versatility continues to evolve.

TLF Trio and Moritz von Oswald invite listeners to embark on a sonic journey that bridges the past and the present, mirroring the transformative essence of Louise Lawler’s distorted image, which graces its cover—a testament to the delicate fluidity and shape-shifting nature of the music contained within.

Impact Foundry begins with found and studio-recorded percussion in its purest form. From metal sculptures in the open air to drums recorded in a unique echo chamber, this library reinterprets percussion in new and exciting ways. These are real performances, captured with all the weight and character intact.

We then transformed those raw recordings into towering trailer hits, hybrid combos, driving pulses, and cinematic loops designed to slam hard and cut through any mix.

To round it all out, you'll also find a collection of tonal patches, drones, and pads, each carrying the DNA of the original performances - now refined, layered, and shaped for modern hybrid, trailer, and cinematic scoring.
