Following RDS's E-mutations, De Lichting ventures into a new chapter with their latest releases, transitioning from a focus on collective synergy to intimate, individual storytelling from its core artists.

Nathan Kofi’s upcoming debut album I Am That I Am stands as the next sonic statement from the De Lichting—a personal odyssey reflecting growth, deep introspection, and identity. The album takes listeners on a personal journey through time. Each track, crafted over several years, reflects a dynamic evolution, passing through multiple phases of growth and experimentation. This carefully curated collection connects the dots between past and present, weaving together a cohesive sonic experience.

Inspired by Peter Tosh’s iconic 1977 anthem, Kofi’s album title embodies a powerful declaration of self-identity, independence, and inner strength, embracing the spirit of individuality as both a message and a movement. The album explores Kofi’s internal struggle between taking responsibility and evading it—a paradox, which can be interpreted from either perspective.

The six-track album sees Kofi navigating new creative territory. WOLKEN stands out with its fusion of Dutch lyrics and a hip-house-leaning ambient foundation, effortlessly bridging introspective soundscapes with minimalistic drum paterns. Meanwhile, EGO and EFUA dive deeper into IDM-inspired textures and broken beats, evoking ’90s-era nostalgia with layers that nod to artists like Plaid. These three tracks are further elevated by one-minute visualizers created by Djoa Lekatompessy (Hittegolf Studio), which feel more like evocative short films, enhancing the multi-sensory storytelling and adding depth to the album’s themes.

The remaining tracks, OKAERI, DJAI, and WEKŪ, invite listeners straight to the dance floor, propelled by a steady four-to-the-floor pulse. These tracks highlight Kofi’s knack for crafting emotionally resonant house anthems, drawing dancers inward while syncing their external body movements to the pulse of 909 drums, the Deluge Synthstrom, and lush LEM Bit Crumar pads.

I Am That I Am Releases: December 6th.

Gathaspar - Op. 11

Pintai Mix 007: Alex Albrecht (live)

Full tracklist: https://bleep.com/bleep-mix-300-barker

Fresh from Stochastic Drift, Barker’s buzzing second album named Bleep Record of the Month alongside an exclusive 12”, Barker sends a mix that really digs deep into the unique sonic methodology he has constructed across his solo career width a suitable breadth for what is also a milestone in the series, Bleep Mix #300.

From Debiasing to Utility to Stochastic Drift, Barker has been reimagining club music without its definitive thump, instead driven by melody and tactile synthesis, and this selection of tracks expands Barker’s soundworld with a host of artists walking a similar path. “For this mix, I picked out some of my favourite uptempo ambient tracks, recorded at home with two decks and a mixer. It’s music I've used in a lot of different contexts, as a DJ and listener, and I hope you enjoy it.”

Though the occasional dancefloor thump makes itself known, such as on Adriana Lopez’ ‘What Lies Behind’, it’s mostly in quaking subs rather than actual four to the floor, providing some ground for this mix’s airy freeform variety to fly over. We have the wooden plunks and seaspray of Afefe Iku’s Kenyan island sound, the wonky gamelan of Tyler Friedman’s maze of bells and chimes, the dense atmosphere of shaker-produced rain and electrical chirps forged deep in the ruins of The Future Sound Of London.

The midsection of this mix contains some magic in particular: the maestro of drumless trance Lorenzo Senni creates motion from pure jagged synth energy on ‘The Power of Failing’, dissolving into the aether of an unreleased Barker track, which further discharges into the kaleidoscopic stutters of Caribou’s ‘Never Come Back’ with jubilant piano chords and vocal clips wrought into a glitchy, swirling maelstrom of Koreless' prickly warmth. Digital Justice’s ‘Theme From It’s All Gone Pearshaped’ follows, a timeless staple for anyone wishing to dabble in melodic motion and synthsmithery, or any DJ set seeking to add some lift without losing momentum, of which this mix is in no short supply.
