TOWER Imports

Framework on The Lot Radio

Framework presents the first edition of TOWER Imports, a limited mix series designed to incorporate international artists into New York's TOWER project. 

The inaugural mix comes from experimental Italian musician, DJ, & producer @ikavapii. Exploring abstract and detailed club-adjacent music with releases on @earlyreflex and @pampsychia, the London-based artist driven by a playful approach to sound design and unconventional structures. With this mix, they initiate explorations of waterlogged sonics in preparation for the next edition of TOWER, February 29 at Bossa Nova Civic Club in Brooklyn.

"A selection of oblique, slowfast music, mostly made hitting tanks, blowing through pipes, and placing microphones near dripping leaks, or splashes of water. No to boring club tools, yes to sounds of actual tools and machinery. A mix from worker to workers, from builder to builders, created while dreaming of very real shared spaces <3" - Ikävä Pii

TOWER Imports 001: Ikävä Pii

Framework presents the sophomore edition of TOWER Imports, a limited mix series designed to incorporate international artists into New York's TOWER project. 

This entry comes from born and raised Amsterdam producer, DJ, and multidisciplinary artist @Yb3L. Throughout the mix, they establish several long-distance, electrical connections in preparation for the next edition of TOWER, April 25 at Bossa Nova Civic Club in Brooklyn.

"To those that follow forward radio channels such as Kiosk and Future Intel, as well as clubs like Garage Noord and POING, the name Yb3L should ring a big bell. Through heavy breaks, bouncy rhythms, futuristic bass and infectious bangers with a mystical touch, this rising DJ/producer is pervading the most adventurous areas of the Dutch scene. In addition, Yb3L is a co-founder of @sann-odea, an Amsterdam-based label that focuses on abstract electronic release for listening and dancing, which are curated and broadcasted in a grounded and accessible fashion." - Dekmantel Selectors 2024

TOWER Imports 002: Yb3l

Framework presents the third edition of TOWER Imports, a limited mix series designed to incorporate international artists into New York's TOWER project.

This entry comes from seasoned Austrian DJ/producer Sun People (@simon-off). The mix arrives amidst delays in global sonic trade, originally intended as a compliment to TOWER 9's insulation installation at Bossa Nova Civic Club on July 2, 2024. Expect supervision through footwork, jungle, drum & bass, etc. with an instrumental orientation, celebrating the near completion of the Inside.

Simon Hafner’s two decade long stint in dance music has yielded a glorious treasure trail of club-minded innovation. Initially emerging as part of the Winterstrand trio (alongside his two brothers) in the late nineties, he then proceeded solo: first, as the dubwise broken beat leanings of Simon/off in the mid-2000s, and now Sun People. Having settled into his current alias for over a decade now, his output since its inception has been widely regarded for its inimitable takes on jungle and footwork, fascinatingly hybridised with a wide variety of styles like juke, techno, electro, minimal and dub. His deft beat programming, boundless energy and remarkable productive spontaneity has sparked a celebrated discography, with noted releases on dBridge’s Exit Records (@dbridge_exitrecords), Rua Sound (@rua_sound), Defrostatica (@defrostatica), Outlines (@outlineslabel) sub-label Guides plus an EP for Steffi’s Candy Mountain (@candymountaincandy) imprint and much more.

TOWER Imports 003: Sun People

Framework presents the fourth edition of TOWER Imports, a limited mix series designed to incorporate international artists into New York's TOWER project.

This entry comes from Eastern Distributor, the stage name of Naarm-based artist Daniel Jakobsson, a versatile creator pushing the boundaries of electronic music.

Eastern Distributor focuses on a rich tapestry of deep, syncopated basslines and minimalist, crisp percussion. Tracks unfold with ambient, evolving soundscapes that create an atmospheric backdrop, inviting exploration and introspection within its rhythmic foundation. 

"I'm so excited to be sharing this mix for the Framework/TOWER series. I love the concept, this particular mix is inspired by the glass component in the construction of the tower. I leant toward choosing dynamically wide tracks; low end and layered high frequency percussion. One and a half hours of shifting between experimental, dubstep, liquid and plenty of tek. Thanks to Patty for the invite, hope you enjoy 💕"
