The Upload 68

Artist: Barada
Title: Music For High Maintenance Robots
Label: Physical Education
Cat No: PE012
Format: 12” Vinyl	

Tracklist: 
A1. Robo Porn
A2. Eye Contact
B1. Subdrama
B2. The Crimson Boogie

Physical Education is back with another signature offering. Four tracks, four peak-time cuts courtesy of ‘90s production veteran Bryan Zentz, under his seldom-seen pseudonym: Barada.

Originally released in 2001, futuristic house tones are top of the agenda. There’s a never-before-seen gem in here too, a track that Bryan made at the time but never put out. He found it amongst his collection of Digital Audio Tapes (DATs): now it sees the light of day for the very first time.

From the fast-paced swing of Roboporn to the acid-laced tones of Eye Contact, there’s plenty to get stuck into. Subdrama ratchets up the tempo further, as does The Crimson Boogie - Zentz’ previously forgotten treat.

--

NOTE: The B2 track "The Crimson Boogie" which was credited as unreleased, was actually released in 2000 on Catalyst Recordings under the title "Disco Vampire Renegades". A misunderstanding from Bryan's old DATs led him to think the song was unreleased, and only discovered it wasn't unreleased after this record was out. Special thanks to Terry Mullan.

Who is the cat up in the tree? It’s PierrooOoOooOOooo ! Originally from Ukkel south Brussels, full time Arborist, half time Record lover and Double time Clubber. He has been the middle point of the underground house and techno community in Brussels for some years. Pierro is breathing the party and firing energy all the time on the dance floor and behind the decks. His dedication for digging came a few years ago and he has been DJing ever since and started the collective Combine with his friend Fab.
His first cultural memory was the movie that his dad introduced him to of Louis De Funès called Le Corniaud (France 1965), and no surprise, the music in this mix kind of sounds like it. Check it out yourself. We love it ! Thanks Pierro. Hang in there !

Liquid Earth landed on our map when his Microsmosis Ep was released on TerraFirm back in 2019. It was spun at every opportunity, and we wern't alone. Played by many a favorite DJ of ours, it sounded particularly amazing on the hoppetosse dancefloor when Vera dropped it back in Feb 2020. Around that time too he remixed Triform - Vinaloop for our first Faciendo vinyl release, and hasnt stopped since. There's plenty of new music coming from Liquid Earth and here he shares a magical live DJ set brimming with energy from a recent gig in New Zealand :)

recorded live at Club 121 in Wellington, NZ - 28 May 2022

Ba Dum Tish founder, Alec Falconer, takes time off from his busy schedule of writing two sentence blurbs to deliver a two-hour Ba Dum Tish mix. Arguably this mix is almost three years late but it takes a while to think of a two sentence blurb.

I know we say this almost every week, but for our next edition of Trommel InSession we have something very special for you. The moniker Respond/React might be new but it is comprised of three artists that are certainly not new to the scene. Artists Man/Ipulate, Massaï, and Lamalice will no doubt conjure up lengthy Sentaku parties helmed by their founders and regulars that have helped the Parisian / London based label and event series to flourish. The ethos of the triple trouble combo offers fresh perspective in the relationship between crowd, the music and the emotion that comes with hearing a new track at home and the effect that it has on the audience at a gig. 

The three have illustrious solo adventures and so the prospect of all three artists working together behind the decks is mouth-watering. Luckily for you this ethos was cemented in the live recording of their set for the French brothers Mates in Bordeaux. At the Sentaku showcase Man/Ipulate, Massaï, and Lamalice deftly switch between banging house, grinding basslines and insistent breaks all with a special synergy between them that resulted in this vibe heavy recording.

Happy New Year, you dirty little rascals. We are honoured to open 2025 with a special sequel in the Reptilian Mixes Saga: the very first recording of @atawel's live act.

Since the release of his Colors EP on 129 rec, our boi Raph has been fine-tuning his long-awaited live debut. The reptile farmer performed across multiple venues in Europe, with recent highlights ranging from the upper deck of our favourite Berlin boat, to deep in the ravy woods of the Cévennes. 

Take the middle row seat, grab your pop corn (sweet and salty), and don't skip the trailers. 

No director's cut but you can now listen to 192R-002 endlessly on your favourite streaming platform, and grab it digitally here: https://192rec.bandcamp.com/album/192r-002
