Ciao tutti, 
I put together this playlist for SoundCloud for Women's History Month and International Women's Day to spotlight FLINTA artists who inspire me ~ producers and DJs I admire, listen to regularly, and whose music is pure quality. Some are under the radar, others are breaking through, some you probably already know, but all deserve to be heard ~ not just this month, but all year round.

The first half focuses on producers, crafted to flow like a mix. Then, I shift to Djs and mixes I’ve been listening to regularly. The selections move from softer and reflective to groovier, hypnotic, and harder-hitting sounds ~ a space for discovery, empowerment and fresh perspectives.

FLINTA representation has grown over the years in our scene, and it’s beautiful to witness. But balance is still missing in many areas. True change takes patience, consistency, and real effort. It’s about staying curious, listening, digging deeper, and looking beyond what’s trending or right in front of us… It’s not about filling quotas ~ it’s about discovering with intention.

To the music lovers, DJs, promoters, club owners..etc.. do the research, listen beyond what’s easy to find, and support emerging talents with the same energy given to big names.

In a world where we expect everything here, now, and quickly, let’s not forget that quality is crafted over time and voices grow louder with patience and consistency.

~ with love & gratitude ~

Juliet Fox - FOLD SET x UNFOLD XXXIX London, UK | 18SEP22

For this week’s DETECT we welcome @klaudiagawlas. 

By the age of nine the Polish musician had learnt both the keyboard and guitar, and by thirteen she had made her first production on her Commodore 64 - it was only a matter of time before she developed an interest in club music. After a step away to the US to focus on her studies in psychology, she returned to Europe and got her break on the dance floor in the late 2000s, with it all spiralling from then. 

Acclaimed releases on labels including MOD, Credo and Abstract have since followed and this week she contributes to our mix series. You can listen to Klaudia Gawlas’ DETECT now on our SoundCloud.

Jurriaan Jansen, also known as 'Jancen,' is a techno producer/dj from Nijmegen in the Netherlands. Growing up in a family deeply immersed in music it was not unlikely that he would start his own musical journey. At the age of 14, he was introduced to the techno sound during a sound check at Awakenings. However, it took another 14 years later that he began producing music himself.

His musical style is influenced by classic dub techno, characterized by a faster and more driving rhythm complemented by a subby low end. This distinctive blend has seen him release on compilations by Mutual Rytm and Be As One, as well as E.P.s on labels such as Drawner and Mitsubasa.

Jansen's music has found resonance across borders, with recent performances in Berlin at venues like About Blank and Kater Blau.

New SEMANTICA Compilation is about to bright and reflect on already well known directions explored by Svreca’s imprint. Despite the label efforts to hide from any sonic etiquette, still existing a core which will be the SEMANTICA sound identity for a time. 'Iridescent' twist and modulate this heritage which moves gradually from ambient / electronics to techno and set the release directly to S++ category into the SEMANTICA catalogue.

Freshly minted from the ever consistent force de majeure that is On Board Music, we have Jin Synth’s Enigmatica EP. The London based producer explores the inbetweens of ambient and deep techno, with each track in the release offering a nuanced and mature interpretation of the various shades and moods that inhabit the space.

Regretful Crossroads wraps an auditory hug around the listener, bringing warm melodies and delightfully natural percussion to bear as the song unfolds. The track’s time signature gives lightness and a groove that percolates throughout. Best for those come down moments, or a relaxed afternoon listening session.

Jin Synth’s Enigmatica EP will be released on November 8th, including a notable collaboration with Giuseppe Tillieci aka Neel.

PREMIERE: Jin Synth - Regretful Crossroads [On Board Music]

To kick off our December we welcome @vi-official to our long-running mix series, DETECT.

Resident of the Ciało club and member of the SLAP collective, the Polish artist has earned her stripes through appearances on many a  line-up across the continent - including her own event Aura.

Channelling a complete transparency & openness into her music, Vi treats electronic music as the finest form of therapy, seeking out the sounds that trigger emotions in both herself & others, resulting in a fast, melancholic groove galloping into the horizon.

Vi’s DETECT is available to listen to now on our FOLD SoundCloud, via the link in our bio - dive into this 60 minute selection for a taste of what’s to coming to our halls in early 2025…

DETECT [153] - Vi

This set holds a special place in my heart. UNFOLD is like home to me, a space where I’ve had the privilege of performing and growing as an artist for the past 6 years. The energy in the room made the experience truly unforgettable and I’m so excited to share this recording.

For our new bi-weekly series Detect, we are shining a light on our favourite artists who are all on their own unstoppable rise in the industry, profiling their musical career, upcoming projects and more alongside accompanying mixes for those frequent indoor weekday breaks away from the home office.

Kicking off the recommendations we have the rebellious duo Blasha and Allat, who have hit their own stride since the catalyst of their Meat Free parties and other projects based in and around Manchester since 2013. It’s been a flourishing subsistence since then, with their punitive brand of techno, breaks and electro generating copious waves of influence despite the competition in their busy city. A demanding calendar has ensured that their sound is never out of attention, with bookings everywhere from Printworks and Dimensions to Freerotation and Headroom validating their capability in tackling large or little crowds with a discerning ease, balanced awareness and stable reputation. 

With FOLD, the pair have always been a guaranteed choice for the booth, operating a sweeping and comprehensive appearance back our extended MORD takeover in February, as well as closing our Room 2 space with a driving, guttural set at the RA twenty four/seven coup just before last Christmas. This mix, recorded at FOLD during the MORD party, flaunts a carnival of absurd and thrashing records right from the bottomless void of the twosome’s record bags.  With an impressible proficiency at interchanging moods and genres with little effort, Blasha and Allat lecture to crowds with a tongue that takes no prisoners.

DETECT [001] - Blasha & Allatt (Mord x FOLD)

Our very own @voicedrone is the next artist stepping into the limelight for DETECT. Lasha Jorjoliani is an often-unreadable enigma, lending much of his time to his studio, curating line-ups and sharpening his performances in the booth. Although an undeniable figurehead of the scene, Voicedrone is by no means explicitly tied to co-founding FOLD. Before our inception, Lasha travelled his own personal journey into the scene, hailing originally from Georgia and arriving in the U.K. solo to pursue a music career he built his reputation through sheer will. In 2016 he established his label Imprfct., which along with his ever-expanding network and dedicated grind within London directed his path towards creating and curating parties. 

Four years on, Lasha is in an indestructible one-way lane, having developed a graphic, dynamic sound that we come together to experience. At his core is a passion to create and nurture community; this purpose is channelled into every event he plays - here at home, in Europe and beyond. Playing at influential venues and parties included his beloved HTBX London has preserved his significance in the underground scene and his constant admiration from the FOLD family, and his closing set from our Unstream two weeks ago was testament to this. Broadcasting live from his own home, Lasha took us through the best reasons why UNFOLD is what it is now.

The phrase “leading by example” may be somewhat overused, but in the case of Voicedrone, such a statement is entirely appropriate.

DETECT [002] - Voicedrone (Unstream001)

When you think of Natural Selection, Michael Silmon is one of the people you have to thank for its existence. As one of the founders of the collective, Natural Selection is now in its tenth year, returning frequently to Canning Town with killer lineups after having migrated south with Silmon from Newcastle where it was formed in 2010. On the many occasions that we’ve invited Natural Selection to host nights at FOLD, the result has always been an incredible marriage between sounds, our threads woven together to create a blazing tapestry of sonics that seek to pay homage to the legends and veterans of the scene. 

Meanwhile, Michael’s performing alias, Kodah, is doing equally as well. Brought up upon a diet of hardcore and gabber which was prevalent in Newcastle when he was a teen, Michael satiated this interest initially by collecting tapes from the raves that were running at that time. This inspiration from collectives such as Rezerection and Judgement Day became the primary creative motivations in discovering his musical vocation, and went on to seek how to develop this, eventually entrenching himself deep within the experimental, warped allure of techno and electro. A common face at UNFOLD, his most recent set at our 6th instalment back in November was unforgettable, reminding our community of why we took him on as a resident at FOLD; he is an artist with true knowledge, passion, and appreciation for the past.

For this DETECT accompanying mix, Michael recorded a very special hour of towering, alien selections from his own home in isolation. Keep your ears peeled in particular for the closing track; as he put it himself when he sent this over, this mix was the precursor to an exquisitely Good Day, and he hopes that the message speaks for itself, and that it precedes only positivity to those who listen to it.

DETECT [003] - Kodah (Natural Selection)

Despite there being just four years between her arrival onto the scene and the present day, McKenzie Simone has explored a broad groundwork of music and locations before discovering that her true home lay nestled deep within Eurasia. Kickstarting her career in Dubai, the 25-year-old American native has since settled into her current home of Tbilisi, Georgia, her attachment to the underground circuit earning her both a familial reputation and regular bookings across the city in venues such as Khidi and Drama. Her appreciation for a culture that finally celebrated and encouraged individuality and free expression was the motive for her permanent move there following a short visit prior, and in July 2019, McKenzie risked everything she knew by choosing to call this new place home. Her gamble was rewarded and she is now a true rising star of the city, subscribing to a fresh approach on techno within the tangle of bustling clubs that scatter the streets at night. 

For this next instalment of DETECT, we were lucky enough to present a love-letter to the scene from McKenzie in the form of an exclusive mix that she recorded from home for us. Acidic, wild and full of focused determination, this hour-and-fifteen of selections is a punchy statement on the confident direction that McKenzie has with her career, and a declaration of the devotion she has for the city of Tbilisi.

DETECT [004] - McKenzie Simone

@S_RUSTON has been the perpetrator of a mean set of accomplishments throughout her career. Since landing in Berlin in 2010, Sophie has focused on building up the scene she found and felt at home in; imparting her musical know-how to ongoing residencies with femme collective Lecken and at Wilde Renate, plus nurturing an array of queer parties in the capital. Before then, Sophie was shaped by the Bristol drum and bass/jungle scene in the early noughties, eventually reassigning this energy into her ensuing move between countries and from her 170 roots into the turbulent rave sound that she is now known for. 

Notwithstanding her finesse behind the decks, Sophie has also produced an admired discography, moving between bassy cuts and hefty drumwork with her releases on labels such as Suspension, as well as heading imprint One4Ho. Her unorthodox approach to production and mixing has been a bubbling recipe for success. Since FOLD launched she’s been a habitual presence, most recently stepping up to our centralised booth for UNFOLD in January, and also playing side to side with Voicedrone in Autumn last year for a fusion between European exports with UVB heading up the night.

For this exclusive mix for our DETECT series, Sophie bestowed upon us her notorious selections in an uproar of a mix, presenting to us the noble reasons why everyone craves a second helping when she appears - and how sometimes, in the uninhibited situations she attends, more is more.

DETECT [005] - S Ruston
