Alex from Lurid Music:

'Aggelos first approached Lurid Music with the idea for this project a few months ago. We agreed on one condition, that all proceeds be donated to refugee causes, like we did with his Black Sea EP which supported the Syrian refugee crisis. When Russia invaded Ukraine, we decided our focus had to be helping the Ukrainian refugees who were forced to leave their homes in search of safe havens abroad.

We discussed this with most contributors to the project and the consensus was that donations should strictly go to humanitarian groups and not any armament funds. There were also some thoughts about helping conflict-affected peoples in other parts of the world but we decided it was too much to tackle for a relatively small project like this one.

Therefore, donations stemming from the sales of this release will be distributed to the following humanitarian groups currently active in Ukraine or neighboring countries welcoming refugees:

- International Medical Corps: internationalmedicalcorps.org/emergency-…n-ukraine/
- Urgent Action Fund for Women’s Human Rights - Ukraine Urgent Response Fund: urgentactionfund.org
- Polish Humanitarian Action: www.pah.org.pl/en/donate/
- World Central Kitchen: wck.org/relief/activation-chefs-for-ukraine

SOURCE DIRECT X METHOD MAN & REDMAN - Tear It Off (Benedikt Frey VIP Mix)

The third mix in the Hybrid Moment x Pikidrils series was recorded for us by Makido — a DJ from Donetsk, currently based in Kyiv. She enjoys experimenting and blending different genres in her sets, creating a cohesive and captivating storyline. Katia truly believes that music has the power to transform and expand the listeners' horizons.

Makido’s new mix is full of mechanical impulses of cold electro, lightly blended with a straight beat and pierced through with powerful breaks and deep bass. A dark and gloomy vibe that resonates with the surrounding reality.

Swedish producer Daniel Savio returns on Finland’s Elektorni label. We’re showcasing the electro funk side to the EP.

There once was a fellow named Daniel Savio, Who rode on a unicorn spotted and gravio.
He called to the Mighty Thor, “I’ve never seen one before!” While dancing the Elektorni fandavio.

@dreamstrax

Spectral Bounce’s fifth instalment comes courtesy of L.A.’s rave archivist and dancefloor operative Dreams, A.K.A. Jesse Pimenta. Throughout his decade-long career the California native has inspected, dissected and concocted all manner of dance musics, leaving his mark with drops on Apron Records, Pinkman, BANK NYC and his own imprint Dance Data. On SPEC05 — Dangerous When Wet — he hijacks the synapses with 4 accomplished productions, plotting a high BPM course through manifold styles using the raw aesthetic that characterises his output.

“Losing Control” is a frenetic dancefloor invitation, immediately locking into a pacing groove. Beneath wild hand drums, Dreams plays with an insistent 303 bassline alternating between rasping buzz and oily squelch, while stern vocals are layered on top of breaks that have been processed to a viscerally satisfying end.

Taking things from delirious dance circle to underwater biosphere, the EP’s eponymous track explores a submerged 1980s Miami. Weighty & enveloping, “Dangerous When Wet” is pure aquatic pop-n-lock — hydraulic electro for a drowned world. Ocean floor caustics are transmuted into auditory form: arpeggios bubble up; drones shimmer mystically; hi-hats hiss like air from an open valve. Amongst the sonar bleeps, a barrage of pummeling low-end is sure to give subwoofers a workout.

“XTC Messenger” delivers an infectious paranoid dispatch, astutely balancing the sensual with the deranged. A slow-mo dial tone unfolds languidly, running counter to nervously twitching high frequencies. Its punchy percussion is tuned for maximum dopamine release; the track’s abrupt vocal chops and mechanical kick-snare pulsation evoke the leather jackets and jagged edges of 1980s industrial discotheque.

“Pressure Points” closes the EP on a heady and mesmerising polymetric trip. The parting track is a lithe yet spacious number, propelled by a rattling break. Here Dreams follows from track 2, creating an immersive environment in which sounds tightly twist and twirl. Shifting oscillators call out like tiny creatures as the bass throbs and wriggles further into your brain, long after the needle hits the runout groove.

ONETAKE — новая рубрика на Local Radio, где электронные продюсеры импровизируют и создают трек с нуля за десять минут.
Это творческий вызов, который позволяет заглянуть в рабочий процесс и увидеть, как в условиях ограниченного времени рождается музыка.

St. Theodore (@st_theodore) — музыкант и диджей, участник постпанк/колдвейв-группы Midnight Passage, сооснователь и главный идеолог лейбла Raw Union.
Формируя уникальное сочетание из итало, EBM, эйсида и холодного электро, он выпустил десятки релизов на таких лейблах, как Craigie Knowes, Land of Dance Records, Rotterdam Electronix, Clasicos Del Ruido, Snuff Trax, Hilltown Disco, Italo Moderni и Mosaique Records. Его музыку поддерживают ключевые фигуры индустрии: Marcel Dettmann, DJ Hell, Daniel Avery, The Hacker, Djedjotronic, Phase Fatale, Terence Fixmer, David Vunk, Helena Hauff, а также крупнейший в мире дистрибьютор танцевальной музыки — Juno Records.
В конце 2023 года St. Theodore представил дебютный альбом «Majesty», воплотивший опыт его десятилетнего музыкального пути. Релиз объединил в себе энергичное итало, бескомпромиссный EBM, холодное электро, пронзительный эйсид и интенсивное техно, а также коллаборации с Larionov и Djedjotronic и ремиксы от LVRIN и DJ Wedding.


"ONETAKE" is a new Local Radio series where we invite electronic music producers, giving them ten minutes to jam, improvise, and create a brand-new track from scratch — all in a live studio session.
A creative challenge that pulls back the curtain on the music-making process, revealing how tracks come to life in real time under the pressure of the clock.

St. Theodore — a Russian-based musician, DJ, and co-founder of the Raw Union imprint. One half of the post-punk/coldwave band – Midnight Passage. 
Expertly crafting a signature blend of Italo, EBM, acid-filtered grooves, cold-electro sound, he has released music on labels like Land of Dance, Craigie Knowes, Rotterdam Electronix, Clasicos del Ruido, Snuff Trax, Hilltown Disco, Italo Moderni, and Mosaique Records. His work is supported by Marcel Dettmann, DJ Hell, Daniel Avery, The Hacker, Djedjotronic, Phase Fatale, Terence Fixmer, David Vunk, Helena Hauff, the world's largest distributor of dance music Juno Records and many others. 
In late 2023, St. Theodore released his debut album "Majesty", embodying the experience of his decade-long musical journey. The release brings together energetic italo, uncompromising EBM, cold electro, piercing acid and intensive techno, featuring collaborations with Larionov and Djedjotronic, alongside remixes by LVRIN and DJ Wedding.

Benedikt Frey is many. Or just one? He is a composer. An arranger. A DJ. A ghost producer. A fan. He plays in bands like INIT, or Dolphins or KEYS +++ produced the last two albums for Chris Imler. Downbeat in experimental dub zones. The goat for Edits and remixes. When house was his nation, he used to listen to pen names like Suedmilch or Venedikt Reyf. He still likes the music formed under their umbrella, but today his tomorrow is not echoed in yesterday. His sound signature moved on. Into the open. He founded labels like R.i.O. or Serious Trouble. 

He lives in Berlin. Physically. In mind Benedikt Frey is at many places. Traveling far thru his home studio that is a flat a studio a flat an instrument a record collection a flat a studio. Everywhere gear, vinyl, tapes, instruments, rooms for spontaneous sonic notions, these moments, when a sudden strike of stimulation falls. He is inspired a lot. For music to dance. Music for films. Music for live shows. Music for dancing glows. Techno, house, downbeat, ambient, jungle, electronics outside the norms. Those transportive ones. Jamming with others. Jamming with his mind. In Berlin Wedding, North of the town, where the lights dimmed low, neighbors share the flow, and a small river runs slow.  As a DJ he plays here, there, everywhere. Big clubs, small shacks, festivals, gatherings. From fast to 90 BPM - as he feels. 

For himself. For the crowd. In the spur. He still remembers his club kid days. Going to dance with friends. Down there in Offenbach. Doing the Robert Johnson. Collective emotions for a better tomorrow. These he still seeks. In his music. His shows. His collaborations. You can book him for a party. For enlightenment. For ecstasy or introspective perspectives. Dancing slow, whilst pirouetting a high-pitched show. 

Since more than a decade. His own music is out there, too. Bringing his spirits in sound. On his own labels. On international imprints like ESP Institute, Hivern Discs, Craigie Knowes, or Emotional Response. Solo works. Driving ones. Slow drills. Teased during his DJ dates around the planet. 

The music plays day and night. Inspiration comes. From a simple kick drum. A movie sequence. A bird on the sill. A picture, totally still. Can’t kick that feeling when it hits. Benedikt Frey. In dreams. In streams. In music. Emotions. Situations. At night. In those flashy lights, when it bites.
