Auch in diesem Jahr blicken wir von der frohfroh-New-In-Redaktion nochmals auf das vergangene Jahr zurück – wieder mit einem exklusiven Mix und drei Releases, die uns 2024 besonders gut gefallen haben.

2024 sind wieder einmal viele sehr gute Releases aus Leipzig herausgekommen. Einige davon haben wir in unseren größeren Rückblicken vorgestellt. Ein weiteres Highlight im letzten Jahr war hinter den Kulissen: Denn unsere kleine New-In-Redaktion ist um einen weiteren Autoren gewachsen. David unterstützt uns seit einigen Monaten ebenfalls mit seinem ebenso analytischen wie auch emotionalen Blick auf Musik.

Und Nils alias @nils-panda hat wieder aus unseren Top-Tracks einen Mix zusammengestellt – schön divers, schön deep, schön schön einfach. Hier ist er zu hören.

AF Reflect’s sound journey 011 with Konrad Black

For this mix, Konrad Black traces a thread of introspective melancholy through his selections. Drawing from influences that span drone, glitch, vocoding, and the ethereal, he moves fluidly across multiple electronic forms with a quiet emotional depth. The mix evokes the spirit of his early DJ years — crafting sets on Maxell XLII cassettes — where mood and texture took precedence over genre boundaries.

Konrad Black is a Canadian composer, music producer, and DJ based in Berlin. He began his career as a hip hop dj in the mid-90s, while in subsequent years he expanded his sound to include multiple forms of electronic music, from drum and bass and techno to experimental and ambient composition.

His musical production roots reach back to the late 1990s, with a wide range of releases across influential labels. Early work includes drum and bass on Formation Records, co-producing the band Circlesquare for Trevor Jackson’s Output Recordings, and remixing UNKLE for Mo’ Wax (as Headgear). His first explorations in deep techno and electro appeared on Swayzak’s 240 Volts, leading to the co-founding of Wagon Repair with Mathew Jonson in 2003. The release of his breakout track Medusa Smile in 2005 marked a turning point, prompting his move from Vancouver to Berlin and the beginning of extensive international touring, with regular appearances at renowned venues such as DEMF, WMC, Berghain, Output NYC, Stereo, Lux Frágil, and Womb. 

In recent years, while maintaining a regular release schedule as a producer (Pleasure District, Exit Records, Meander) Konrad’s practice has expanded to include composition for electro-acoustic instruments, film, installation, video games, and sound design. Long-term collaborations with visual artist Jeremy Shaw have produced several major works, including Phase Shifting Index and The Quantification Trilogy (Quickeners, Liminals, I Can See Forever), exhibited at institutions such as Centre Pompidou, the Venice Biennale, and Hamburger Bahnhof. Other projects include serving as game audio director for Balenciaga’s Afterworld video game, as well as contributing sound to Natalia Escobar’s installation Las Traviesas, exhibited at Kasseler Kunstverein, and Efrén Mur’s volumetric audiovisual installation It From Bit at Madrid’s Matadero.

Konrad’s most recent release is the soundtrack for Phase Shifting Index on PAN Records

AF Reflect's Sound Journey #011 | KONRAD BLACK

Here it is, ready and served: my classic musical farewell to each year. This set was originally broadcast on my colleague DJOU's show, A Long Strange Dream, on Radio Plato. Unfortunately, Radio Plato was unfairly censored by the Belarusian authorities, so I took it upon myself to honor him and release the set as Au Revoir 2025. 

Thanks to Radio Plato and DJOU for their broadcasts and for supporting the global underground scene. It was my honor to have participated three times. 

NO TO THE ART CENSORSHIP!

As 2025 closes, Elli arrives to Phonica’s Friends & Family mix off the back of a breakout year, one that saw her music embraced across Europe’s cosmic-disco and downtempo scenes and her live show land on iconic stages like Jæger. In conversation, she describes her world as part cinematic dreamspace, part crate-digger curiosity — a fusion that shines through this seasonal selection. Moving between ambient glow, cosmic synth voyages and warm, groove-led passages, the mix reflects the same tenderness, detail and wanderlust that shape her own productions, including the new projects and secret soundtrack she’s quietly crafting for 2026. It’s Elli at her most intimate: warm, reflective and open-hearted.
