Houndstooth: Patterns

fabric podcast

Recorded live from fabric

There was a voice in the back of his head, sometimes it whispered and yet sometimes it shouted and screamed as if he were under a magnificent spell. It hold him what to do, how to be, where to go and how to think but it was not always the voice of wisdom. Sometimes it whispered elegant, crafty lies and tall tales. This time the story was well reasoned and well rounded and the voice was beginning to grow louder. It shouted and screamed as follows...

"I can't let you do this..."

Mark Hawkins readies an exciting new album on Houndstooth. A full length LP titled "The New Normal" is forthcoming on the label with the emergence of a new track called "Can't Let You Do This" an insight into what we can expect. It's big room stuff, poppy, happy, housey and club ready.

PREMIERE: Mark Hawkins - Can't Let You Do This [Houndstooth]

Denmark’s leading light in techno, DJ and producer, Anastasia Kristensen, releases her highly anticipated Volshebno EP. Her first release since 2019 - the Russian-born, Copenhagen-based artist continues to hone her craft; exploring her expansive influences and refining her signature sound - electrifying and colourful heavy-hitting club music. In Russian, ‘Volshebno’ is the word for magical. 

Heavy-hitting and club-ready offering. From mesmeric build-ups to  full-blown, breakbeat workouts to Ana’s clear love for jungle, breaks and UK techno, and the meaning of Volshebno, the EP conjures up memories of that magical, anticipatory feeling of dancefloor excitement. 

The announcement comes after three incredible remixes from some of dance music’s most exciting artists right now - Galway’s party starter KETTAMA, Danish techno titan Ctrls and Brooklyn’s ballroom scene darling, quest?onmarq, supported by DJ Mag, Crack, Mary Anne Hobbs on 6 Music and more.

Bristol techno, noise and hardcore supremos SCALPING will release their latest project ‘FLOOD REMIXED’ on October 8th. The EP is an excellently curated collection of sublime remixes from some of the most prominent and intriguing musicians, producers and figureheads from across the musical spectrum. Heavyweight contributors include 2021 Mercury Prize nominees and recent number 1 album holders Mogwai as well as Laurel Halo and object blue.

‘FLOOD REMIXED’ continues the stellar trajectory of the band, who, over the past few years have become an unmissable live act and gained notoriety as one of the essential, electrifying new bands in the UK. Their recent debut EP ‘FLOOD’, their first release for the forward-thinking Houndstooth label, gained widespread acclaim including CRACK Magazine, NME, The Quietus, Loud & Quiet, Mixmag, The Line of Best Fit and many others.

Scottish post-rock icons Mogwai step up to remix ‘Cloudburst’. Stretching and expanding the track, creating new drum patterns, and continually ratcheting up the drama inherent in the original; a naturally sensational slab of post-rock.

“I loved reworking Cloudburst due to the sheer mass of lovely little (and big) noises from which I could make new drum sounds and melodies to layer over the original. This was a tune where everything was so nicely overwhelming in the beginning and somehow came together really well with a bit more chaos from my fumbling about with the buttons. Really looking forward to seeing the band live soon.” ~ Barry Burns of Mogwai



SCALPING is the Bristol based group comprised of James Rushforth, Alex Hill, Isaac Jones, Jamie Thomas and visual collaborator Jason Baker, initially formed at the end of 2017 with a desire to pair their hometown's visionary, off-kilter dance music to the more organic instrumentation you might find in noise-rock and post-punk. They have since won all manner of plaudits at radio, press and through fervent word-of-mouth for both their eclecticism on record and for the pummelling intensity of their live performances.

London-based artist @Wordcolour returns to Houndstooth with a new single ‘Bluster’

Support the artist: https://hth.lnk.to/bluster

In Wordcolour’s own words, "all the way back in January 2021, when the UK was entering its second national lockdown, I set myself the task of trying to write a club track. I wanted to avoid the lockdown temptation to write melancholic, dreamy dance music, and so found myself trying to remember what the club sounded and felt like at a time when raving was a distant memory.

The result, Bluster, continues some of the club experiments I began on my first EP "Tell Me Something", but with a beefed-up heavier sound aimed at slow, chunky techno sets. Like that first record, this track has a sense of humour - constantly cutting in playful bits of vocal and drum detail. Both the title and the artwork imply an undue swagger - a sense of winging it through changeable unpredictable weather conditions: a combination that, for me, sums up the feel of this track as well as the circumstances in which it was made."

The exclusive new track from TSHA herself titled ‘BOYZ’, showcasing elements of bass, house and techno and awash with her trademark organic grooves. “I already had the loop down when I got asked to do this, so I thought it was a good foundation. I’m mashing lots of elements together and it has a big sound. It reminds me of fabric.”

Hear 'BOYZ' in the 'fabric presents' compilation mix by TSHA on CD and streaming services and in full length on the double yellow vinyl out at the same time on 6th May 2022.

We are excited to introduce you to London-based producer On Man, a musician whose previous collaborations include Giggs, Darq E Freaker, Zebra Katz and Mr Hudson amongst others.

Squares and Triangles features fellow London-based rapper F-M-M-F alongside this video directed by Ian Roderick Gray (The Banksy Job).


“Squares and Triangles was a turning point for the project - the first track I finished where I felt like things were heading in the right direction. F-M-M-F’s fantastic vocals hooked me straight away. They read almost like a film, exploring the tension of a doomed relationship when incompatible edges collide, crack and crumble amongst the lies.”


On Man’s creative roots lie deep. An artist with a unique gift for sound design, he’s able to conjure perfect pop songs and then corrode them, revealing the emotional truths underneath. An electronic artist with a human touch, he’s worked in the studio for an array of other artists, as well as delivering huge cinematic soundtrack projects, all while pursuing his own solitary agenda. "Squares and Triangles" marks the first step of this personal journey and more will follow later this year.


Lyrics:

You said it from the start
We’re more than a mile apart
Call me animal
Still looking for Noah’s ark
Call me a cannibal
Then I left a hole in your heart
Hole in your heart when I
Left my phone in your car
You’re like a loan shark
Once you let go of the past
I swear it’s been about a year
Guess my roly’s fast
Heartbreak will send a woman wild
And now some little dick is 
Gonna make her smile
Now it’s just me myself
And the only eye
Got my head doing circles
I guess it’s only pi
No apology from here
Coz I ain’t liable
How could you go and find a square
And make a triangle?

You drive me round the bend whether
Automatic or manual
Upside down my
World’s feeling satanical
Text messages
Scriptures and parables
So many hate your
Shit is getting casual
Not to call you liar
I’m the person that fired you
Man slaughter killed it
But I was trying to 
Heartbreak will send a woman wild
And now some little mug is 
Gonna make her smile
Overreacting like there ain’t other guys
That lost their composure and told
A couple of lies
No apologies here
Coz I ain’t liable
How could you go and find a square
And make a triangle

Tuck into Client_03 live at fabric [25/02/2022] – taken from the masked mystery’s most recent outing in EC1 back in February where they played in Room 1 alongside DJ Assault, Simo Cell, DJ MEG G and more. Warpy, weird and wonderful. A note from the master below.

__

"Client_03 - Host Body Rule set. 

The Host Body is selected Through process of elimination to physically represent Client_03 in a performance setting. This is a commencalistic relationship in which Client_03 benefits and the host body feels nothing and has no recollection of the experience. 

Below is the the formula given to the host body as a base on which to elaborate for the duration of the performance. Whether or not the Host body can add have add value based on performative gestures is unclear. Future iterations may include limitations on the host body’s physical movement. 

Host Body mix and performance rule set Sample: 

#include <performance_settings.c03>
int main() {
    Combine A, B, product;
    
    Source A: 
    Left Side 
    
    Source B: 
    Right Side 

    printf(“Simultaneous_playback: ");
    scanf( %.2lf ‘bpm", ‘key’_a/b’, ‘genre_a/b’);  
 
    // Calculating product
    product = a * b; 

    // %.2lf  returns synchronous result from 0%-100% process completion
    printf("Product = %.2lf", product);
    
    return remainder 0;
}

In Conclusion: 

The General progress measured through the collective appreciation of the Testbed as whole is greatly increasing. The current host body is satisfactory and will continue to serve as above with further experimentation and iteration on the process to ensure that its performance ability is viewed as <70% Favourable to the Testbed as a whole."

Colombian born Adriana Lopez has established herself as one of the most influential techno artists of all time. 

Over the years, the DJ, producer and label head, has been perfecting her instantly recognisable style of brooding, hypnotic and driving techno through releases on labels known to nurture this sound, such as Spanish labels PoleGroup and Semantica and of course on her own label, Grey Report where Adriana has been developing and releasing music from artists such as Developer, NX1, Takaaki Itoh & more.  

As a DJ, Adriana has been developing her craft for well over two decades now, beginning in her hometown of Bogota in the late 90’s before moving to Barcelona in 2003 which opened up a global touring schedule with performances at the best clubs in the world. Her sound is dark yet groovy, its rhythm and energy offers pure escapism. It’s hard to find a more dedicated, consistent and skillful approach to DJ’ing…  

Adriana steps up for the second edition of our newly launched fabric podcast. For 2 hours, we’re treated to a ferocious offering of unreleased music, current favourites and some of Lopez’s own productions.  

Saturday 9th July, features Adriana Lopez, Oscar Mulero, Quelza and Tapefeed (All Night Long). Tickets below…

Recorded live from fabric, a new series of specially selected performances recorded live at the club…

Kicking off things with our first episode, is one of the highlight performances of the year so far, all the way from Detroit, DJ Assault. 

Check out this 90min mix, recorded live from fabric on 25/02/22 in which DJ Assault took to our Room 1 booth (and mic) on a FABRICLIVE for the history books, which also featured ANZ, Simo Cell, OK Williams, Kush Jones, MELL G & more.

Craig Adams aka DJ Assault, has played a large part in flying the flag for ghetto-tech, aka booty music, which is a highly energetic fusion of electro, techno and footwork mixed with unique but body moving lyrics. His signature tracks “Ass and Titties”, “Sex on the Beach” and “Crank This Mutha” are a perfect example of his style. Assault’s own label, Jefferson Ave., is home to his work as a solo artist along with his rapping alter ego, Craig Diamonds, the Street Narrator.

He’s back on 15th July alongside Chloé Robinson, DJ ADHD, Eich, Interplanetary Criminal, Holloway & lots more. Tickets here: https://ra.co/events/1517415

Mind Against finally join the revered ‘fabric presents’ mix series, compilation out Friday 23rd September ahead of their extended set in the much-loved venue. On Saturday 24th September. 

The mix closes with their own ’Freedom’ with Dyzen. The track opens and continues a dialogue between the dreamy languor of emotion-rich synth chords evoking early noughties euphoria, and dog-whistle-pitched melodic phrases leaping and playing, over a strong but subtle multi-layered percussion, all pinned by a beat of silence in the midst. A soundtrack for blissed-out summer nights.

Mind Against & Dyzen- Freedom (Original Mix)

Hannah Holland’s role in London’s alternative and queer scene goes back over a decade ago. In the mid 2000’s, she began exploring the lines between techno, electro and house music whilst also being heavily influenced by the D&B and Jungle raves of which she spent most of her teens.   

London served as the ultimate melting pot and hub for development, nurturing Holland’s unique sound which took her through residencies at iconic events such as Trailer Trash, to festival stages such as Glastonbury’s NYC Downlow and to extended sessions at Panormama Bar and across Europe.  

She also heads up the Batty Bass imprint, founded in 2009 as a label and event series, it provided a platform for her own explorations as well as one for artists such as our own resident Josh Caffe, The Carry Nation, Lauren Flax & more.   As a producer, Hannah has collaborated alongside Josh Caffe on Crosstown Rebels whilst also taking up remix duties for legendary figures such as DJ Hell, Goldfrapp, The Knife and Planningtorock.  

Hannah joins us for 003 in the fabric podcast, ahead of her appearance at fabric on July 2nd where will be celebrating Pride with HE.SHE.THEY. Also on the night is Cassy, TAAHLIAH, Anna Wall, Massimiliano Pagliara & lot’s more.

Martyn’s music transcends the constraints of genre… 

Pick a track from his extensive back catalogue and you’ll be sure to hear influences from Drum ’n’ Bass, Garage, Detroit, Chicago or Dubstep - the latter of which Martyn was probably known best for having been influential in the evolution of the “Post-Dubstep” sound in London that was so closely connected with institutions like Plastic People and FWD>.   

This broad collection of influences has created a sound that is distinctively, Martyn, and as an extension of that, a sound that is very much associated with his own label, 3024. It has also found it’s way on to the best labels across the electronic landscape, including Ninja Tune, Warp, Hyperdub, Brainfeeder and Ostgut Ton to name a few.  

His ability as a DJ runs parallel to his achievements as a producer, having secured his place in fabric history over 10 years ago with his contribution to our fabric CD series. A perfect snapshot of a place in time with music from Kode9, Actress, Zomby, Joy Orbison and lot’s more. 

He joins us on July 30th as part of a weekend of music curated by Goldie. Which features sets from LCY, rRoxymore B2B Fiedel, Goldie B2B DJ Bone & more. Tickets and more info can be found below:

Next up on the fabric podcast series: 005 delivers a very special back-to-back session featuring Ahadadream and Champion; a flavour of what to expect when the More Time label co-boss and the Formula Records founder link up for FABRICLIVE on 5th August: https://ra.co/events/1548577

__

Ahad Elley, aka Ahadadream, has had an impact on the party-starting circuit since lockdown that's been well recognised, but his impact stretches long before then; Ahadadream formed More Time Records with Sam Interface in 2017, and has his fingers in several pies and projects. As co-founder of South Asian music-focused festival Dialled In, which launched last September, and mastermind behind No ID party which has welcomes the likes of Naina, Nabihah Iqbal and Jyoty to staple London venues, Ahad has played a key party in championing and paying forward the sounds and talent of South Asian DJs who are electrifying UK dance music.

With a tour in the works, the British-Pakistani DJ and producer has been shutting things down at festivals and venues across the globe this summer, with notable sets including a recent B2B with Daytimers’ Yung Singh at Glastonbury’s famous Silver Hayes area. His sound is aptly club-ready, often referencing his South Asian roots, whilst emphasising his love of drums, percussive hits and an energy that is distinctly London-rooted. The sounds of which decorate recent EP release Homecoming. Met with warm acclaim, The Guardian dubbed it as “the stuff of ravey dreams.” And we’re dreaming of raving with Ahad very soon.

Champion is one of east London’s finest bass and beatsmiths. His tracks have featured on numerous iconic past FABRICLIVE mixes (Four Tet & Champion – ‘Flip Side’ on FABRICLIVE 89: Hannah Wants, ‘Gunshot’ on FABRICLIVE: 88 Flava D, and Champion - ‘Cannon (Dismantle's VIP)’ on FABRICLIVE 86: My Nu Leng), so it feels right to be welcoming him back fabric for a Friday night. 

Since breaking through with a debut EP in 2011, Champion has been a formidable name in the UK bass scene. In a way, this pairing symbolises the legacy of old school fabric, and the new generation coming together. Ahadadream and Champion’s mix for us taps into some serious rave-ready sounds, reflecting the dazzling rhythmic rapport of these two. We can’t wait to see it in action.

Next up for the fabric podcast is Manni Dee. 006 brings forth an hour long session from the London-based producer and DJ ahead of his fabric debut for Junction 2 Inner City: By Night (28th August) where you’ll find him alongside fellow heavy-hitters Dax J, Karenn (Blawan & Pariah) [Live], Héctor Oaks, Stephanie Sykes and Tapefeed.

While you might associate techno as being one of the core components in his musical arsenal, Manni Dee’s taste is rooted in R&B, hip-hop and UK sounds – “the music I grew up on” he recalls (DJ Mag). Growing up in Wolverhampton, it was hip-hop that first piqued his interest, then, when studying at university in Brighton, experiments in wonky hip-hop and an interest in artists like Flying Lotus and Hudson Mohawke took him through the dubby, UK sounds, and into the throws of techno thereafter. 

Since then, a catalogue of hefty releases on the likes of Perc Trax (2020’s Everyone's Replaceable Now and 2021’s A Low Level Love), Possession, S.L.A.M. and his debut album The Residue (2018) on Tresor, have all helped propel Manni’s profile internationally, leading him to play various iconic venues and festivals across the globe. But Manni Dee has always been pretty UK-rooted; his most recent album the stripped-back A Low Level Love, is a simmering, techno-fused testimony to the grit and glory of the capital city.  

His mix for us spans some of his own productions and edits (See Me Now, The Remedy, Pillow Princess feat. ANGEL BBY, Clasp), whilst also reflecting his taste for the punkier, hard-edged UK sounds (slowthai makes it in there as well as a techno rehash of The Bug’s Hammer). But ultimately Manni keeps it slamming with techno that's ripe for the tastebuds. 

Manni Dee debuts fabric on Sunday 28th August for Junction 2 Inner City: By Night. Tickets: https://ra.co/events/1539448

Our Recorded Live at fabric series continues with 002 – Chloé Caillet. Taken from her set with us in Room 1 on 12th February 2022 where she played alongside Gerd Janson, Jennifer Cardini and more.

Inspired by the dance music scene of Bristol (UK), and the nightlife of New York alike, Chloé’s sound leans into anything from the rhythmic and funky, to techno’s more melodic tendencies, to sounds that are retro inspired and sometimes even mischievous. 

One half of PVBLIC XCESS along with fellow DJ and producer Josh Ludlow, and co-founder of Xcess Records, as well as a formidable solo act and artist in her own right, Chloé has been shaking it up and keeping it busy in the electronic music world. As well as having incredible substance to her musical output, style is also crucial for Chloé both visually and sonically, and fashion is a core player in her creative identity. As high-end fashion brand Miu Miu’s go-to supplier of tunes, she’s become a name synonymous with soundtracking some of fashion's most elite parties. 
‍
On 12th February the venue was a little more underground. Room 1 played host to Chloé for a set wrapping up at just under 3 hours. Having now joined us on numerous occasions, both solo and alongside Josh, it felt only right to dig out one of her most memorable performances with us so you can all enjoy.

Chloé Caillet plays fabric for Junction 2 Inner City: By Night with Woo York, Fideles, Curses and more. Tickets below:

As a prelude to the upcoming Soul:ution Room Two takeover on Friday 16th May, label boss Marcus Intalex and one of Manchester’s most reliable renegade emcees, DRS, have bumped consciousness and put together this, their ‘Mid Mic Crisis’ mix. Regular sparring partners in clubs the world over, DRS’ trademark measured Mancuian flow rides perfectly atop on Intalex’s soulful selection with his baritone delivery sitting sweetly and filling out the dynamic range of the rolling selections which reportedly feature, in some form, material from DRS’ forthcoming second album, Mid Mic Crisis.

Basically it’s a glorious and specifically tailored 62 minute mixtape showcase of DRS’ potency as a host, an emcee and a vocalist. But it comes mixed by Intalex which more than hints at the level of quality it contains... two of Manchester's finest in sterling form.

MC DRS & Marcus Intalex - Mid Mic Crisis Mix For FABRICLIVE

Today we’re lucky enough to be premiering what someone in the office just referred to as a ‘serious nugget.’ Yeah, OK, so that person was me. And yes, I did say it to myself, in my head, after listening to it over and over again; but the fact remains and it is what it is. The Critical Music signed drum & bass producer, Emperor’s'She Said VIP’ – which will be exclusively available from the Critical store this Monday – is superlatively frenetic, heaving it’s way out of the rousing build up introduction with the sort of lurching industrial bassline that’ll set most dancefloors afire. The full Into Black EP will be released on vinyl and digital this coming Monday, but we’re toasting the publication of the EP’s pre-order link here today because it ties in nicely with the fact that we recently announced the next Critical Sound date (10th July) where you’ll be able to witness Emperor going B2B with The Upbeats.

Featuring the vocal work of Danielle Moore, the Bristolian producer Maxxi Soundsystem is just about to release his second 12" for Futureboogie, one of our favourite imprints. On it he presents two versions of the track 'Near Me' and new track 'In The Woods' but it's the 'Club Mix' of lead track that we've selected to present to you today, ahead of Maxxi's return to Room One this coming Saturday night (6th June). It's one of those deep and emotive tunes that fits perfectly into those post-3am immersion moments, gloriously carried by the type of soaring bassline and melody combo that we've come to love him for.

Maxxi Soundsystem Feat Danielle Moore - Near Me (Club Mix)

It's a great and rewarding thing, the fact that we have regular access to and working relationships with people who are consistently trying to push the musical boundaries. It really is the gift that keeps on giving and we're duly stoked that we once again are able to find ourselves in the generous position to be able to share some brand new and exclusive music with you. In anticipation of the next installment of Critical Sound (which'll be in Room One on 10th July), the label has kindly bestowed a teaser of Enei, Kasra and DRS' forthcoming collaboration 'Overthinking' on us...

After beginning the unveiling process for our 16th birthday lineup at the beginning of the month with the 4 deck master Ben Sims, we've moved our way through the cast of artists who'll be bringing the magic to our 30 hour celebration with techno pioneer Marcel Dettmann completing the bill yesterday. In all we've lined up 14 guests to play alongside our residents Craig Richards and Terry Francis although there will be one more surprise to come at the party itself.

As a perfect demonstration of exactly the type of thing that occurs when Dettmann is at the controls, we recorded his set from his last EC1 appearance back in August which is the perfect bang with which to present our 16th Birthday Weekend lineup in full...

Even if you haven’t heard of Kings of the Rollers before, there’s a good chance you’re at least familiar with its comprising members. Serum, Voltage and Bladerunner are all well-established producers and DJs, known most commonly for making cutting-edge dance music at 170BPM.

Serum and Bladerunner first started working together several years ago, before they realised Voltage also aligned with their artistic visions. With the D&B scene heading in several different directions, the trio found similarities by fusing rolling tracks with classic jungle elements.

Having spent time together in the studio, they first joined to play last year for a set on the internet radio station Rough Tempo. With this receiving praise from the heads who listened, it followed naturally that they started playing more often.

With their next joint UK performance slated in for an appearance at FABRICLIVE on 24th February, they fired us over this pacey mix to show us just why we should all be paying attention to Kings of the Rollers.

Darkzy (@darkzyuk) is the alias of Elliot Fisher, an emerging producer and DJ from Nottingham. While he makes music across the bass spectrum, alongside his peers Skepsis and Notion his affinities almost certainly lie closest with bassline. With a recently rekindled interest in the party-ready sound, in our eyes Darkzy is becoming one of the frontrunners of the UK’s urban scene.

His production has been getting a lot of heat of late, too with My Nu Leng rinsing a particularly on point bootleg made by the Nottingham producer’s hand. The drop is more than likely familiar for many of you too – looking back to 2009, Darkzy adds some fierce heat to offer a refreshed take on Skream’s memorable remix of La Roux’s In for the Kill in something of a homage to the seminal track.

With his EC1 debut just around the corner on 28th April and more FABRICLIVE dates slated for the near future, we’re now very happy to offer this up as an exclusive stream to listen to at will.

Darkzy plays FABRICLIVE on 28/04: fabricldn.co/t9l3xf

David Marston & Life On Planets - Take Your Time

If you think of the UK’s best techno’s most prolific techno labels, Soma Quality are right there at the top. For the last 25 years Slam’s imprint has put out consistently killer music from some of 4/4’s most leading edge producers, with the likes of Funk D’Void, The Black Dog, Surgeon and Schatrax all making frequent appearances across the imprint’s back catalogue. 

One of their more recent signings is Rebekah, the Birmingham-born producer who first cut her teeth DJing in the late 90s. After a busy touring schedule early on in her career she became a part of Chris Liebing’s CLR label, before Soma picked her up for an EP in 2015. Earlier on this year, they also put out her debut LP Fear Paralysis, an album spanning the breadth of contemporary techno.

Rebekah’s next drop on Soma will be an EP of remixes from Fear Paralysis, with the likes of Slam and JoeFarr reworking some of the album’s best cuts. With their return to Farringdon just around the corner this Saturday, Slam sent us over their hard-hitting remix of Rebekah’s Code Black to premiere ahead of their appearance. 

Slam play RM3 on 17/06: fabricldn.co/1u34j9

Next weekend, we welcome the return of one of the leading duos in drum & bass as Spectrasoul play Room Two. They’ve been keeping busy since they last joined us, with last year’s killer 'How We Live' LP landing on their Ish Chat label. They’re now dropping remixes of album tracks 'Burst' and 'Say What' on a new EP featuring Calibre, so they sent over their glistening mix of 'Say What' for us to share. Speaking of how the remix came together, they told us:

“We'd always thought that 'Say What' would lend itself to a nice D&B remix, so when the vocalist Madi said that she had composed some nice piano chords, we got to work. The original vocal took on a completely new vibe once it was sitting on the new chords, so we stripped everything back and focussed on that late-night, sultry vibe and it just grew from there...”

宀 is a Chinese radical that roughly translates as “shelter”, which speaks to this team’s underlying vision. The recently-opened Hong Kong venue prides itself on being a safe space, where the promotion of freedom and self-expression has nurtured a diverse community of music lovers. The room boasts superb acoustics and a Funktion-One system, and it only holds about 100 people at a push. But if you do make it inside, you’re always sure to find exceptionally skilled locals spinning to a loving crowd of dancers.

Misty Penguin sent us a rowdy two-hour mix of techno, electro and rave stormers to represent 宀 Club.

Tokyo is famous for its audiophile-friendly listening bars, but the city’s thriving music scene also owes a lot to a cluster of world-class nightclubs. One of the best-loved is Contact, a house and techno haven hidden within a Shibuya car park. Many of the most revered selectors on the planet regularly stop by here; Fumiya Tanaka is practically part of the family, and plenty more fly in from Europe, USA and beyond. And like at those listening cafes that placed Tokyo’s scene on the map, every guest arrives ready to settle in for an absorbing listening experience.

Contact Tokyo’s In Profile mix for us comes from Mars89, who’s become one of the venue’s most trusted locals over the last few years. Recorded live at the venue over the summer, the session sees him unleashing a raucous, adrenaline-fuelled techno sound that feels like it was tailored for clubbing in 2020.

Trust us: once the world starts to return to normal, you need to add Ljubljana to your list of party destinations. The main reason for this is to check Klub K4, a beloved gem that’s been the bedrock of Slovenia’s underground scene for the last three decades. The booking policy heavily focusses on local talent from selectors and live acts through to VJs, though with up to 150 events running through the year, they still find space for the odd Sugar Free or Truly Madly. Dedicated house artists like this shine at K4, but you could just as easily hear electro, techno, drum & bass, UKG or hip-hop depending on the night and room you stumble into. As for the crowd, ask the countless artists who describe the energy inside as unlike anywhere else in the world. 

Klub K4 programmer and resident DJ Nitz stepped in for his home club with a mix of ghostly electro and IDM cuts, the kind of thing you might expect to hear early morning inside the Ljubljana institution.

Melbourne is known as the electronic music hub of Australia. One place that’s been central to the scene’s growth over the years is Revolver Upstairs, a Thai restaurant and bar that turns into a party with live bands and DJs playing after dark. The nights run late, and they often feature big hitters from abroad, but it’s the trusted residents and their loyal fanbase that give Revolver Upstairs its tight-knit community vibe. 

Revolver Upstairs staple Henry Who put together a mix to showcase the sound of the venue, laying down a stack of smoky, late-night house cuts that left us yearning for the dancefloor.

WOMB opened a few months after we did at the turn of the millennium, and since then we’ve shared a special bond based on likeminded principles. Crucially, the Tokyo institution is known for its mind-blowing sound system, which is described by even the most seasoned artists as one of the world’s best. But just as importantly, WOMB wouldn’t have hit 20 years without its dedicated team of music lovers, who work around the clock to showcase high-calibre electronic music to Tokyo up to seven nights a week.

DJ Sodeyama delivers WOMB’s In Profile mix for us, exploring the kind of kinetic techno he’s used to bringing to the Tokyo club’s dancefloor.
