Midnight Manoeuvres steps out of the shadows, scans the room and proceeds to melt minds and bodies with Pastime, a freakishly accomplished 4-tracker that sees the London-based artist carve out a new breaks inspired direction for himself.  

An intrepid and meticulously realised effort, Pastime sees the scales perfectly balanced between retrofuturism and cinematic club pressure and marks out Midnight Manoeuvres as the perfect torchbearer to move Badlands forward.

BAD002 //  Midnight Manoeuvres - Pastime

At the very coalface of the UK rave/breakbeat/techno/call it what you like scene since the 1990s, Jerome Hill is something of a hidden treasure amongst the plethora of DJs and producers to have dropped both bangers and bloopers over the ensuing three decades.  With minimum of fuss and fanfare, Hill has steered record labels like Super Rhythm Trax, Don’t, Fat Hop and Hornsey Hardcore to revered acclaim, as well as firing out a consistent stream of releases for imprints such as Matthew Herbert’s Accidental Jr, Exalt Records, and I Love Acid, to name but a few.

Surprisingly, ‘Flow Mechanics’ is Hill’s debut album after a production career that kicked off in 1998 as one half of Groove Asylum. And its collection of unabashed acid and rave bangers is a perfect fit for the Hypercolour label, whose personnel over the last few years has included Luke Vibert, DMX Krew, Shelley Parker and Gary Gritness.  Tracks produced directly for club play; the album features 8 cuts destined to fit in cross-genre sets.

With pumping electro cuts such as ‘Deafening Lull’ and ‘Knob Jitter’, four to the floor acid stompers like ‘Walk The Plank’, the mutant garage of ‘Brought Up Badly’ and the house groover ‘Stax Had The Funk’, ‘Flow Mechanics’ is a joyous romp through rave’s sound palette, replete with playful samples and skits (featured on the vinyl LP version), and a mischievous demeanour that affords the listener an lively album that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Setting herself up for an exciting 2023 ahead, Monoke has dug into a deep and immersive selection of dubby, ambient inspired techno and thick bass-scapes that captivated our ears and minds upon first listening to this brilliantly crafted mix. We have become increasingly aware of this talented DJ's activities with sets popping up across Bristol, Cardiff and London it's easy to see why Monoke is a name repeatedly appearing on line-ups. Headphone on for this one, it's a beaut!

Noria Lilt

The wait is finally over and we are beyond thrilled to have our next artist on the series; enter Noria Lilt (*1994, Fribourg, Switzerland). She has been immersed in a musical and cultural environment since her earliest years. Growing up in a musician family and first training as a multimedia designer, she later graduated from the Bern University of the Arts with a Bachelor of Sound Arts.

Heavily influenced by dance music and rave culture, Noria Lilt combines a bursting mix of the most heterogeneous electronic inspirations. From clubs to art centers and other live scenes, her practice oscillates between djing, live, composition and production, audiovisual installations, and multichannel pieces. Her production and composition process tends towards acousmatic and experimental music, with a delicate and unique sound design.
All of these experiences and carefully weighted nuances are on display on her brilliant debut EP “The Insiders of the In-Between” including remixes by MSJY and Atrice on strecke records. 

TRNSTN RADIO co-founder, Kapitel Bollwerk resident DJ, SMEM coordinator: she is an important figure and an active member of Switzerland's cultural, nightlife, and musical scenes. In all her facets, she presents powerful messages and we are ecstatic to find out what is next on her journey.
