MIXES - VARIOS

Australian Kia very quickly rose up through the grimy after-hours rave scene of Melbourne to make her mark on the international stage. Now Berlin-based, her unique grasp of rhythm is rooted in a love of bass, IDM and deeper techno though she is adept at exploring a wide range of moods within those worlds. She has done so at places like ADE and our own festival and extends her good taste to the curation of her Animalia imprint and its ambient sub-label Cirrus as well as her own original tracks on Nous'klaer Audio.

In this week's mix, Kia showcases a colourful and kaleidoscopic take on techno which she says was awakened by an early trip to Japan's famously head Labyrinth festival. It's a hi-fidelity feast of supple rhythms, icy synths and deep space ambiance that unfolds in late-night fashion. The melodies are as delicate as silk, the drums rubbery yet punchy. It's high-paced future music that manages to be as delicate and beautiful as it is dynamic.

A new record for the longest RA Podcast ever: Ten hours from the powerhouse duo sweeping techno, Chlär and Alarico.

Both commanding performers in their own right, sparks fly when the Swiss-Italian duo of Funk Assault combine. The buzz surrounding their productions, DJing and their label Primal Instinct is at fever pitch, and short wonder: when it comes to gritty, high-impact sets that barrel through multiple shades of techno, few are in their league right now.

RA.960 was laid down at Watergate this March during a signature Funk Assault marathon. The pair ramp up incrementally, and even before they hit top velocity, you can hear them ripping through records with tenacity and verve. You don't need elbows in your face to tell the place is rocking.

We're informed that ID'ing the set would probably take longer than playing it (fair enough), so no tracklist for this one. Instead, fill in the blanks at your leisure. As well as 150+ BPM stompers and groove wormholes, there's everything from tribal to ballroom, electro to bassbin rattlers, and plenty of classics. 

As an encapsulation of a night out's full arc, RA.960 does the business—and best of all, you won't even need a trip to the bar for water. The gauntlet has been thrown down.

Korean-born DJ and producer @sooyeonmusic - FKA Oh Annie Oh - shares a cutting-edge mix and speaks about feeling empowered, changing her artist name, and why it's a pivotal moment in her personal life and career.

"To celebrate this shift, I wanted to create a mix that reflects the empowerment I’m feeling during this time. It's packed with attitude, confidence, moodiness, and high-energy club vibes. You’ll find a track from my debut EP ‘Block N Delete’, as well as an unreleased one coming next year, among tracks I’m loving playing in my sets right now."

It gives us great pleasure to welcome Cersy into our long-running mix series, DETECT.

A secret only to London, Cersy has been very much at the forefront of the North West’s new cultural tidal wave since the turn of the decade, becoming a near-mainstay on line-ups across Liverpool & Manchester.

Part of a new generation of artists that emerged from the ashes of the world’s extended hiatus, the @ Cella Door resident leaves genre boundaries of old lying in the dust, amalgamating breaks, electro, techno & punk into one carefully curated bass-directed sound.

To anyone outside the M25, all this will come as no surprise - the only shock will be how long it took London to notice. 

Cersy has recorded an exclusive mix for our DETECT series, which is available to listen to now on our FOLD.

@holeigh has been contributing to Manchester’s darker side of dance for several years, but began to surface in late 2019 which saw her transition to techno, electro and trance. Prior to this, Høleigh was collecting a broad range of UK dance styles, hardcore, hard house and 4x4 niche. Musical elements from these genres are echoed in her track selection. This evolution most likely accounts for the predilection of 140bpm+. Accelerating from start to finish and constantly shifting through the gears, Høleigh’s intuition when performing resonates with dancefloors and its punters, all of which stems from her dynamic and idiosyncratic way of mixing and using dj equipment innovatively.

As you may know every Tuesday at 6pm we give an appointment to the bravest warriors among you for the release of an exclusive podcast. 
At Dusk we spend a lot of time digging for new artists and emergent talents.
Every weeks we try to make you discover a new artist and his/her particular touch, hand picked among the finest, for a journey at 150+ bpm specially made for you.

Enjoy 👹
