XRDS 2023 • Recordings

These tracks draw massive inspiration from my work environment at the time, where I was working on an industrial chemistry site. Definitely one of the darker and grotty entries in my professional career...

XRDS REC 003 w/ Cinthie 

The REC series compiles outstanding performances captured at XRDS festival 2023, spotlighting artists who epitomize our affinity for electronic music. Our second recording features Cinthie, recorded live from The Outskirts on 20.08.23.

Cinthie Christl, the Berlin-based luminary, producer, DJ, owner of a renowned record store, and the driving force behind 803 Crystal Grooves. She has clocked over 25 years in the dance music industry, and ascended to become one of the most esteemed and revered figures in the electronic music scene, both within her hometown and on the global stage.

Digging into the root ethos of deep house—churchy piano runs, spiritual vocal hooks and jacking drums—got her started mixing as a teenager in the '90s. Cinthie's depth of knowledge radiantly shines through in her sets and her productions, which traverse through a broad range of classic and contemporary House and Techno sounds and that's exactly what she did on XRDS last summer. 

In essence, it must be acknowledged that Cinthie is pure dancefloor brilliance from start to finish, her diggings and her releases making perfect bedfellows.

Cinthie LIVE — Recorded live at XRDS festival 2023 (20/08/23)

The REC series curates exceptional performances from the XRDS festival 2023, shining a spotlight on artists who authentically capture our passion for electronic music. Our most recent recording features Superski's live set at The Outskirts on 19.08.23.

Voiski and Eliott Litrowski, both fixtures in the scene and acclaimed for their distinctive sounds, have collaborated under the alias Superski. They focus on consistently bright and melodic compositions, channelling the current electro trend through the lens of Italo disco.

This collaboration has given birth to the term Italo-techno—a fusion akin to pop music, blending melancholy with soaring melodies and textural dynamics in a manner often overlooked in conventional dance floor music. 

At its core, what makes Superski as a project exceptional is its ability to seize on the pop potential within the Italo-house-techno crossover and amplify it. This amplification doesn't compromise the foundation of heavy bass or powerful kicks necessary to propel the dance floor. We are honoured to have had this twofold at our festival and are excited to share the experience with you.

Our last DSS of 2023 comes from the Belgian city of Antwerp. Yogg is known for his unique sound design, impact cuts of body-slamming techno with deep synths and sleek rhythms. He released on various labels such as Non Series, Illegal Alien Records, 30D Records, Counterchange, and others.

For DSS 079, he took a different approach, taking down the tempo and starting with some dub related tracks, building towards UK influenced sound to conclude the mix with trippy and breaky techno.

The REC series carefully selects outstanding performances from XRDS festival 2023. In our latest recording, we catch Kafim's opening set at The Bridge on 20.08.23. 

Kafim, a seasoned raver, is a vigilant architect of the dance floor vibe capturing every gaze. A history and experience that empowered him to fulfill his ultimate purpose – engaging all ears and rallying them towards a common objective.  

A linchpin from the Deep In House legacy since the start where Kafim shaped his particular style as varied as we know it today. Having his own evolved signature on his name characterized by utopian, imaginative and forward-think values, stands as a statement of his musical evolution. 

Privileged to host this piece of Brussels' cultural heritage at our festival and thrilled to share the experience with you.

Mix #445 in our series is an exclusive live set from Snuffo. 

Snuffo’s been following his own (often rocky) path for a long time already. He remains true to his
motto: Believe in what you do, no matter how difficult the times are.

Born in 1981, Snuffo made his first steps at making electronic music in the mid 90s.

Today, the Majorca-based German guy is known for being the founder of the acid house duo Snuff
Crew (together with Stefan Gubatz a.k.a. Dirtbox Jams) and as the head honcho of the labels Snuff
Trax and In The Dark Again.

On London‘s Threads Radio, he hosts his own radio show: 'Snuffo in Santanyí' and under the
moniker Cellarkalt, he creates experimental soundscapes and brings his free improvisation shows
live on stage.

Over the years, his productions and co-productions got released by many amazing labels around the
globe, such as Analog Records, Bleeper, BPitch Control, Diffuse Reality, Gigolo Records, I Love
Acid, Killekill, New York Haunted, Rush Hour, Schrödinger's Box, Skylax, Solemne Records,
Weapons of Desire and many more.

In the past 15 years, Snuffo also played at a lot of clubs worldwide. Performing his music live on
stage still is the biggest passion and joy for the masked man.

During the pandemic, he reflected a lot on what being an artist means, and also about what could be
the next step for him as Snuffo. As consequence, he completely changed his approach of producing
and playing live.

Within the past years, the Snuffo sound shifted to his own, fast-paced and raw definition of Techno
and Electro, with that certain oldschool-twist, the 42 years old guy never can deny.

After a long time of producing his tracks with a DAW, Snuffo now records them live and with
hardware. The results are rough and direct, and probably the most honest way of making music.

For his live act, Snuffo switched from Macbook and Ableton to drum machines, synthesizers and
samplers, also because the ideal machines for translating his ideas were finally built.

For 2024 some new Snuffo EPs are already scheduled, as well as new dates for his live act.
Kicking off with two Snuffo remixes for Nerk (from legendary techno group Toktok), coming
out on the great Snork Enterprises in March.

On March 30th, 2024 Paul Birken made his second trip to Hamilton to bang about on his boxes of blinking lights and banging beats. Kevin and I first brought him over back in early 2017 and we had a hard time finding a venue for that show. That's why we opened Studio L14!

I'm away camping this weekend so am unable to stream a live Bleep Radio show as I usually do so in lieu of that, I presents Paul live-set with a back-up camera angle not seen on the Twitch stream. I'm also attaching a playlist that contains ALL of the sets this evening.

Locals: Princexx, CRDJ, Mike Conradi, Kevin Kartwell, Trevor Wilkes
As well as headliner #2 from Detroit; Cody Hammer

Audiotropism boss Xillian returns with another experimental four-track EP, exploring the effects of a dancefloor on one’s emotions.

FWD thinking production yields an eclectic range of tracks on Audiotropism. The A-side utilises exponential rhythms within the drum sequencing to create two tracks primed to generate chaos on dance floors at 180 and 140 bpm. The B-side extends the sonic exploration beyond the confines of dance music for more sonic exploration.

This week on Dark Science Electro we have Leigh Simmons also known as https://soundcloud.com/devilcaketechno . She spent the 1990’s playing techno in empty warehouses, derelict roller rinks and abandoned strip malls all over the US and Canada. After a long break an appearance at the Headspace Dome during Drop Bass Network's infamous Even Furthur 2016 brought Devil Girl back into the Techno/Electro music fold. Her style is wide-ranging, from hard, dark, off-kilter and industrial techno mixed with Chicago and Detroit classics to full-on techno bass and electro sets. Tune in at 20:00 GMT on Intergalactic FM.
