Mazewski & Verlake "Gokaider" FRS-DS001

Torn Hawk (@lukewyatt) is no newcomer…he’s been lurking in the corners, creeping in and between various arts worlds for well over a decade: spoken word slice of life narrations as heard on NTS Radio and @the-trilogy-tapes; more guitar-oriented song structural work; extensive videography (@ppu Party Volumes One and Two along with music videos for Torn Hawk as well as @feelmybicep , @xosar , and more); and more beat-focused work as is featured here on his 12” for Fixed Rhythms. 

Euphoria in a concrete rainforest. The joys of plumbing the depths of your own inner darkness. 80s synth sounds with soaring guitars and police sirens and rhythmic vocal snips. Distorted bass line bombers. S l o w e d down breakbeats. Offkilter, stomping grooves for the seasoned freaks. Mid-tempo heavy hitters fit for those thirsty for slime and hungry for grit. Step inside and get your fill!

Torn Hawk "Flip To Raw" FRS031

SPF 50 (@professional_music) aka Stephan Kimbel has been working the club circuit in NYC and abroad for years now. His approach to techno often incorporates breakbeats and a psychedelic attention to sound design details. He has released killer 12”s on Dzungla, @bliss-point-sound, and his own label, @professional_music . @fixedrhythms is now excited to present his latest 12” EP offering–”The Rush”.

The titular track, an acid breakbeat techno party starter for the heads, absolutely breaks down the door of the A-side. A2 “Deep Woods” descends into tasty, wiggly, spacious techno. B1 “Kinetic Ritual” is just that…you have arrived in the Zone, a dark corridor leading straight to One and Everyone. Then B2 “UV Got Me Faded” whips you wonky with a modular drumless wobble slap. This is well-crafted dance music that can plunge any crowd into the deep end.

SPF 50 "The Rush" FRS033

For the past few years, Daystar (aka @darianmusic) has been releasing top notch club tools, tracky techno, and amazing ambient music. They’re a staple of the NYC underground for good reason. They know that more is not more…Daystar hones it in and is choosy about what they release. Fixed Rhythms is excited to present Daystar’s vinyl debut of four techno journey-cuts full of funk, soul, and energy. 

The A-side tracks have a bit more of a jackin techno wormhole affect, while the B-side leans into some auxiliary percussion and strings / winds / horns settings on the synths, displaying their Detroit techno as well as House influences proudly. Upbeat, groovy basslines. It’s up-tempo, but it’s not banging you over the head. Great variety of techno tunes to turn a party out and have the heads leaning over to peek at the center label. Hot item!

Daystar "Guidance" FRS032

Mixes

Gautham Garg, a young and upcoming producer in North Texas, brings some serious minimal 90s high energy Midwestern techno heat with his first vinyl release under his @cratan alias. 

Gautham already has many loop techno releases under his @iamdecoder including a recent release on @axis-jeff-mills Axis Records. He's earned accolades from @matrixxman, @luke-slater, and the like. He's part of the new wave of young DJs and producers taking techno to its next no-bullshit crest. He runs @espcollective alongside @maxwatts, throwing curated events that no one else in the southern US are throwing and tastefully curating their releases...fast, hard, anxiously hypnotic. 

On "Boulder" you'll find two sides of minimal techno at its most delightful. On the A side you have "Secondary" and the title track "Boulder". These two cuts of up-tempo, minimal hyphy techno a la 90s @axis-jeff-mills, @joey-beltram, and @roberthood will really bring the stomp out. Switch to the B side, and "Paragon" brings the techno 4/4 speed with a cranked up reggaeton undercurrent. Then "Memo" closes out the EP with a hypnotic techno banger that would definitely fit snug in a @ben-klock Berghain set. 

This is techno, and it's moving fast. Keep up!

Limited to 300 copies on black vinyl worldwide.

Cratan "Boulder" FRS012 *Snippets*

So excited to have @deejayaza in the mix for our 40th episode! We first heard her via the amazing @pprzrecords compilation that came out earlier this year (have you heard it??? CHECK IT). Aza is based in Kentucky / Cincinnati, and has been chugging along there with the hypnotic techno agenda. Pushing new dance music in the Midwest / South...this is what we're all about. Coming from Oklahoma City, a city that is known more for folk and bluegrass than it is hypnotically groovy techno (although UR did come down here at least a time or two for some big raves in the 90s!!), we really empathize with the dancers and DJs building a better rave outside of the coasts. <3 Tap in for this goodie!

AZA: FRiends and Family Ep. 40

Very excited to have @boninaaa in on the mix for our 43rd episode of FRiends and Family. Bonina is from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and has been working as a DJ since 2019. She's a resident at the Batekoo, Silicose and TUMULTO parties in BH,
actively researching and experimenting with bass and beats from urban
to peripheral rhythms of the Global South permeating between references to House, Ghettotech, Club, and Funk.

Gabriela shows the listener rhythmic connections that you may not have been aware of or paying attention to. She blends raucous party with galaxy dance brain knowledge. When I first put this on, within the first 2 minutes I had to exclaim out loud. Seriously, check this. 

Also check out her mixes on @jeromemixfileseries , @functionfm , @bruta4200 , @abeeerta , @love_paranoia , and @t_e_i_a !

Bonina: FRiends and Family Ep. 43

So excited to have @ducktrash in for our 44th episode of FRiends and Family. For the concept behind the mix, take it straight from Duck:

"This mix illustrates alien abduction as a metaphor for the transgender experience. It's about being abducted by aliens and being stuck in transit going someplace far away, similar to the feeling of being trapped in the wrong body and unsure of the destination.

Born into a matriarchy of two immigrant grandmothers, the 'alien' abduction with an uncertain fate reaches to my machinations of the position my elders were put in as children too. My grandmothers' parents were sold the American Dream, but at what cost? The USA doesn't give a flying fuck about immigrants or about trans people... Will an alien just come carry me away already?

Harsh textures and ethereal sounds of yearning characterize this techno mix. Of course sprinkled with moments of laughter and terror, because when we can't cry anymore, we must laugh. Please enjoy this journey into the unknown, and thanks for tuning in <3"

Duck Trash - FRiends and Family Ep. 44

For episode 47 of the podcast series, we have @sassmouth in for a stellar mix of predominantly electro with some acid, breakbeat, and a touch of UKG. Sassmouth is a DJ based in her longtime adopted home, Chicago. She playfully mixes all kinds of records with a focus on techno, house, acid and electro sounds. She created her label @god-particle-vinyl as a homage to this style of DJing- a place for friends to showcase music that connects the dots between all these styles of dance music. She is a rave mom and real mom and co-runs Walking and Falling- a mentor program for woman and non-binary music enthusiasts that want to learn to DJ. If you don’t see her in the booth she is very likely dancing her ass off by the front left speaker.

Associate: FRiends and Family Ep. 48

For our 50th podcast episode of FRiends and Family, we have a live hardware set by Chicago's @chaosiskoz . Performing at clubs like Podlasie Club and The Listening Club in Chicago and releasing mixes for @rumorschicago , @komfortloch , @researchndevelopment , and @kaltblutmagazine , playing parties like @bwanz 's H.O.T.H., Joel is interwoven in the underground scene. I started following their sound a few years ago...they understand that hard has to have funk, that madness has groove. 

Strap in and lock in to the peak-paced machine-torque techno that's hard-hitting, groovy, bubbly...this is music that reacquaints you with your body...focusing in on a sound, an instrument, and really working it til you're lockstep with the motif....when I first listened to it, the weekly tornado drill sirens in my city went off right in time with the set within the first ten minutes. And the break about 3/4's into the set...cyber-divine. Get into it!

K.oz: FRiends and Family Ep. 50

For our 51st episode of FRiends and Family, we're thrilled to host a brilliant recording of a two hour set by @nathanielyoung who makes music and DJs as Guilt Attendant. Nathaniel runs the @uxz label alongside @lycheefrut , and they are also a brilliant designer, working as the creative director for @daisrecords (check out the insane Juno X merch collaboration between Dais and @rolandcom on their website linked below!!). This is two hours of techno as both escape and resistance, recorded live, March 7th, 2024, at Mansions in NYC for the UXZ-03 release party and label night a few weeks ago. Strap in and get lost in the blends!

threehz: FRiends and Family Ep. 56

@mazewski @verlake @fixedrhythms

Mazewski and Verlake kick off our Fixed Rhythms digital single series with a heady minimal techno cut that’s got the sauce…a loopiness that you never tire of and brain tingling snappy percussion on top. Both artists are representing the Polish underground on their own terms. Mazewski has two sold out 12”s on Brutaż, and Verlake has released on Diffuse Reality, Jungle Gym Records, Father ad Son, K-HOLE TRAX, mystictrax. He also co-runs his own label, Laral Tapes, together with Dextre.

Alongside the original, there are two fabulous remixes. Japan’s Hizuo brings a delightfully playful and psychedelic breakbeat remix. Hizuo was featured in Mixmag Asia’s “Artists Exciting Us In 2024”, and I’m sure we can expect lots more great material from him. Then for the second remix, London’s Vertical Cat delivers a sunrise appropriate dubby and subtly ravey take on the tune. All three deliver something unique for various slots of a party.

PREMIERE: Mazewski & Verlake - Gokaider (Vertical Cat Remix) [Fixed Rhythms]

For episode 58 of FRiends and Family, we have Oklahomie Sick Nick cutting it up. Nick has long been an Oklahoma dance music addict. He started raving in the 90s, and he is still just as excited about new electronic music as he was back then. He's always digging for new stuff. He's into everything...techno, jungle, drum and bass, acid, breaks, footwork, juke, edits, club, and he plays it all out! He keeps fun in the foreground, and he creatively blends different sounds together all while keeping the energy steady. It's been a long time coming having him on for the series. He's played our parties before here in Oklahoma City, and he's been a day one supporter of the label. This mix is his set, blending in after another local DJ FRiend of the label @chromedex from one of Nick's Beats and Brews nights he holds at Norman brewery Lazy Circles. He's delightfully in full Sick Nick modus on this recording. Strap in and enjoy!

Sick Nick: FRiends and Family Ep. 58

Torn Hawk is no newcomer...he’s been lurking in the corners, creeping in and between various arts worlds for well over a decade: spoken word slice of life narrations as heard on NTS Radio and Trilogy Tapes; more guitar-oriented song structural work on Mexican Summer; extensive videography (PPU Party Volumes One and Two along with music videos for Torn Hawk as well as Bicep, Xosar, and more); and more beat-focused work as seen on Unknown To The Unknown and as is featured here on his 12” for Fixed Rhythms. Euphoria in a concrete rainforest. The joys of plumbing the depths of your own inner darkness. 80s synth sounds with soaring guitars and police sirens and rhythmic vocal snips. Distorted bass line bombers. S l o w e d down breakbeats. Offkilter, stomping grooves for the seasoned freaks. Mid-tempo heavy hitters fit for those thirsty for slime and hungry for grit. Step inside and get your fill!

RYS Premiere: Daystar - EverLast [FRS032]

https://darian.bandcamp.com/album/guidance

or the past few years, Daystar (aka Darian) has been releasing top notch club tools, tracky techno, and amazing ambient music. They’re a staple of the NYC underground for good reason. They know that more is not more…Daystar hones it in and is choosy about what they release. Fixed Rhythms is excited to present Daystar’s vinyl debut of four techno journey-cuts full of funk, soul, and energy.

The A-side tracks have a bit more of a jackin techno wormhole affect, while the B-side leans into some auxiliary percussion and strings / winds / horns settings on the synths, displaying their Detroit techno as well as House influences proudly. Upbeat, groovy basslines. It’s up-tempo, but it’s not banging you over the head (although the A-side does keep the intensity high). Great variety of techno tunes to turn a party out and have the heads leaning over to peek at the center label. Hot item!

Premiere: Daystar - Jack Machine [FRS032]

For episode 60 of our FRiends and Family, I'm happy to have a pillar of the US underground @djmitchsmith . Mitch lives in Denver, vis a vis Florida. He's a real Florida dance music enthusiast and has shown me so much of the IDM-miami-bass-techy-housey fusion that the state has gifted to the world of dance music. He djs alongside @wngdu (see FRiends and Family Ep. 21) in Denver as Loudmen. They've brought @billconverse, @jonnyfromspace, DJ Fitness, and others into Denver, and they have huge plans (can't reveal yet) for Denver this summer. So if you're in the area...TIP!

At TGB last year, we had a conversation about the importance of sexy groove. This has it all. Acid, hand drums, psychedelic vocal fuckery, basslines, touch of breaks....come onnnnnnnn, tap in!

TC Premiere: Daystar - Spiral Loop [ Fixed Rhythms ]

For episode 61, we have OKC close scene co-conspirator @crkdjw. I met Garrett when he came to one of our Critical Mess parties a while back. I didn't know who he was, but I just saw the way he was dancing and really listening to the music that he knew what was up. While trying to not make too eager of moves, I went up and told him we gotta chop it up. 

When I think of the most exciting DJs in OKC right now, Garrett is always there in my mind. He has an appetite for brain-scratchy sounds, drummy techno, with a dose of minimal inflections...and there's always excitement selection-wise given his broad taste in music outside of the dance floor. What we're all about! He's been really exercising some restraint lately, and this mix shows where he's been at in his bag lately. Excellent music, enjoy!

SPF 50 aka Stephan Kimbel has been working the club circuit in NYC and abroad for years now. His approach to techno often incorporates breakbeats and a psychedelic attention to sound design details. He has released killer 12”s on Dzungla, Bliss Point, and his own label, Professional Music. Fixed Rhythms is now excited to present his latest 12” EP offering–”The Rush”.

The titular track, an acid breakbeat techno party starter for the heads, absolutely breaks down the door of the A-side. A2 “Deep Woods” descends into tasty, wiggly, spacious techno. B1 “Kinetic Ritual” is just that…you have arrived in the Zone, a dark corridor leading straight to One and Everyone. Then B2 “UV Got Me Faded” whips you wonky with a modular drumless wobble slap. This is well-crafted dance music that can plunge any crowd into the deep end.

PREMIERE: SPF 50 — Deep Woods [Fixed Rhythms]

Here we are, kicking off our new mix series FRiends and Family right with one of Detroit's current brightest stars, Tammy Lakkis @tammylakkis , bringing us a wide-range of great taste in this brilliant, all-vinyl mix. Perfect for the summer! 

Check out her music here: https://tammylakkis.bandcamp.com/releases

Clips for the upcoming release "Travel International EP" by NYC's Sweater On Polo.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Mali arranges tracks like a veteran. Witness the strength of the NYC underground!” – X-Coast

“Tight + loose funky house jams with a mind of their own – great tunes!” – Ol Mic Odd

“Kaleidoscopic melodies backed by thumping baselines for 4 moody tunes” – Kundalini 

Sweater On Polo AKA Mali “STRINGS” Base was born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware, a slow but beautiful suburb 30 minutes outside of Philadelphia. He spent pretty much all of his teenage years skateboarding and trying to stay out of trouble. He started producing trap and rap beats at 17 but quickly tired of trying to impress local rappers so switched to atmospheric drum and bass and house music which he found less compromising. He has been living in New York since 2017, where he skates and makes music as much as possible and leads a generally mellow life. 

From the artist about the EP:

“Travel International EP is about moving, traveling, and seeking adventure in life. Not only physically, but also mentally. My goal with all of these tracks was to allow myself to get lost somewhere between the simplicities and complexities of the grooves. I wanted the music to sound fruitful and universal. There’s no particular setting for this music. I just hope wherever the listener desires to make use of it, they can hear it. Half of the EP was sequenced on a DAW, the other half with hardware and recorded onto blank cassettes or into a DAW, so you’re gonna hear some differences between the mediums used.
 
	I want to thank everyone that supported me throughout this journey between the time I started producing and this record being released. I want to thank my two very close friends Julian and Yash for being at the very start of this when I was only 17. Special thank you to everyone I’ve met in NYC and across the globe. Enjoy”

Travel international

A1 Color Mixture *SNIPPET*

Karger Traum proves with their third release that they are more than just an EBM group. The German-language duo based out of Oklahoma City brings their varying dance music tastes to the table with their first full-length LP release, with influences ranging from techno to electro to new wave, while further refining their characteristic mix of Einstürzende Neubauten that's more grounded in electro-acoustic body music.

But this record isn't just total industrial darkness. It has moments of sassy, cheeky playfulness. It is an adventure from start-to-finish with tracks set to propel the dance floor into utterly trippy territory, while seamlessly flowing as a cohesive album across multiple sonic realms.

Co-released by Fixed Rhythms and DKA Records. Worldwide distribution by Lobster.

4 KT "Frag Mich Nicht" Digital

Pétrus Vargas a.k.a. @pv5000 is a well-known figure in Porto Alegre's nightlife, the southernmost state capitol in Brazil. As a trans DJ and producer, PV actively creates space for the LGBTQI+ club community in PoA. 

He knows how to use the track as a dance-floor weapon and has been involved in the nightlife of the city for many years. He has used an open approach to DJing since the early 2010s, and ever since 2015, he has been raising hell on the scene. These days, he mixes House with Breaks, Electro, and Juke in a contemporary manner. His heavy touring, intense mixing style and wide repertoire make him one of the most interesting DJs of PoA's new breed. In 2018 he created @ttt_tt_tt_ttt to increase LGBTQI+ visibility in the scene. His natural blend of activism and hard-hitting club music is what makes us here at Fixed Rhythms so excited about PV5000. 

This mix is comprised entirely of artists from Brazil.

PV5000: FRiends and Family Ep. 17

Eamon Harkin, 1/2 of Mister Saturday Night Records and Nowadays in NYC, brings us a balmy 4 track EP, simultaneously full of longing, bliss, and hope. Adeptly oscillating between techno and house, these ear-worm, tastefully catchy tracks will find themselves perfectly at home both on reopened, outdoor summer dance floors as well as on bedroom stereo systems. If you do find yourself on a reopened dance floor, you may end up shedding a joyful tear to one of these.

Limited edition of 300 copies on black vinyl.
