Refractiøn podcast 010 : FOMMA

Proudly collaborating with @jamrtbf for a monthly broadcasting of a DJ set recorded at C12, after which the recording can be found on our Soundcloud profile.

Initial Code performed at C12 on January 27th 2024, alongside Peter Van Hoesen live, Emily-Jeanne and Sara Dziri.

Genuinely contemporary selections, acute understanding of sound and performance, as well as consistent event promotion and extensive music journalism, Initial Code’s work in the Belgian techno scene and beyond have been unignorable since 2018.

Experienced for his age already, Initial Code’s DJ sets and live performances have seen him play the most reputed clubs and events in his country as well as debuting in Paris and Berlin both under his own direction and as invitee. This is the fruit of heavy activity in the techno scene since his beginnings as his love for music has been expressed from almost all possible angles.

Behind the decks and in the studio, Initial Code’s sound retains the depth of tunneling, mental techno expressing pace and effect. Contemporary in style, his early influences lie in more hypnotic, psychedelic techno.

C12 x JAM RTBF: Initial Code

You’ve been waiting for it, and so have we, RYC’s next frequency-jammer comes in the form of a heavyweight split 4-tracker, courtesy of two true techno pioneering figures: Mike Parker and Steve Bicknell. The continued influence of these two artists on both our early raving days and now as a team working on providing you the most exciting, boundary-pushing tech wares is second to none. As you’ll experience from the four jams constitutive of this unparalleled mindtrip of an EP, ‘In The Years Ahead’ is the living evidence the steadfastness of Parker and Bicknell's vision remains absolutely untouched. 

Zeroed in on taking ravers on an entrancing ride across pulsating corridors of whirring machine funk, sizzling acid and shape-shifting waves of sound, both sides of this EP share the best lot of both producers’ uniquely innovative approach to rhythm and production. Parker’s opening cut, ’Solar Limb’ is a textbook example of his complex, and heavily layered sound-design. An unflinching swing keeping time, brutal kicks punching holes in your head like giant steel hammers, the track may evolve slowly, repeating its post-industrial mantra over and over again, its flame doesn’t flicker one iota. Switching onto red-level dance floor menace, ‘Badlands’ pulls out the heavy artillery: an overkill bombardment of puncturing 909 drums, vortical winds blowing in the back like some solar storm of sorts, and this ebb-and-flow of FX-drenched synth ripples branded on your cortex like odd signs of cult belonging.

Bicknell’s takeover starts with the rugged and wild ‘Chaotic World’, whose title is definitely not usurped. Enter a blazing maelstrom of frantic synth assault knocked askew, intense bass tectonic movements and smashing arpeggios on the path of war. The track develops a massive momentum, swelling from primordial raw matter into weirdly arranged modular constructions, like that of Kubrick’s monolith emerging with ominous presence. ‘In The Years Ahead’ serves up a much distinctively elegant, glossy type of textural experience, synths playing pong in a hall of mirrors, interlacing and distorting as the percussive line unfolds its linear train-like groove. It dashes across landscapes of hypermodern glass and concrete with unrelenting horsepower, from techno’s early sanctuary right up onto tomorrow's temple of unmapped potentialities. 

*This much special release, so dear to our heart, comes clad in a beautiful piece of design by Atact, and will be pressed to 180g audiophile quality vinyl for an enhanced listening experience.

Ben Carús - ThematicTechnoSet Podcast #001

Christmas has come early! As a December special, we are pleased to present you the first of two mixes this month from two incredibly talented artists. 

First up, HADŌ delivers a driving yet hypnotic and groovy listening experience featuring tracks from some of our favourite artists. It’s exactly what we love to hear and we hope you feel the same! The diverse track selection, smooth transitions and overall energy really makes this a special mix worth listening to. 

HADŌ is an Italian born, London based DJ/producer whose musical journey began around the age of ten with Latin American guitar and saw him experiment with a number of different genres and instruments before being drawn towards electronic music, as he got closer to the underground clubbing scene in London. His sets are an exploration of the primal and instinctive human connection with rhythm through a blend of intricate percussive soundscapes and nostalgic yet forward-thinking harmonies. 

As a relatively new face in the techno game, HADŌ’s productions have recently started to gain traction from big names such as Slam, Arnaud Le Texier, and Berghain resident Marcel Dettmann amongst others. He’s destined for great things so this mix is the perfect starting point for following his journey! As ever, the link is in our bio so check it out and let us know what you think 🙏
