Label Mix 004 is from beloved Rotterdam label @nousklaeraudio and its founder, @sjoerdoberman. The mix, consisting entirely of unreleased tracks forthcoming on the label, showcases Nous'klaer Audio’s dancefloor pedigree while nodding to its explorations beyond the club.

As Oberman observes in his label mix interview, “there is a connection between all those tracks though - but I find it hard to pinpoint what that is exactly.” 

The ineffable uniting qualities of the music coming out on Nous'klaer Audio have made it one of most sought-after labels in underground electronic music, for DJs and listeners alike, as well as a springboard for new talent from the Rotterdam scene and beyond.

Nina Label Mix 004: Nous'klaer Audio

For mix number 17 in the PPRZ Podcast series, we have a mix from New York's aka-Sol @acaciabaila

aka-Sol is one of the monikers of the Ecuadorian DJ, producer, and multidisciplinary artist Sol León. Sol is based in Brooklyn and through their Acacia Baila label, they're also a connector: they've released their own tracks as León, Brouhaha and dp1x as well as collaborations alongside releases from artists all around the globe and the closed community. Sol is part of the collective running the "Dripping" event series and festival and also holds a residency at Mansions. As a DJ, their sets are dynamic, genre-defying and psychedelic, weaving musical stories that bridge the gap between heady, trippy sounds and percussive grooves that go straight to the body. As a live performer and composer Sol has gathered and directed multiple experimental multidisciplinary ensembles, working with electroacoustic musicians, dancers and visual artists to convey their expansive and mostly improvisatory based creations using all forms of extended scores with graphics, text and animated visuals. 

In addition to their solo work, León collaborates with a variety of artists, such as their new duo Gaze with Relaxer, as well as projects with Hank Shoklee (Public Enemy & The Bomb Squad), Nona Hendryx (Labelle), Jessica Mitriani, Juan Miguel Marin, Benton C. Bainbridge, Æirrin Ricks, Gryphon Rue, and many more. Their solo and collaborative work has been presented in The Museum of Modern Art of Bogota (MAMBO), The Hunter East Harlem Gallery, The Fridman Gallery (NY), Alice Yard (Port of Spain), Frieze week (NY), Sustain-Release Festival (NY), Nowadays (NY), Dripping (NY), Videoclub (BOG). 

Mix Description:
As a DJ that is interested in creating narratives with different styles of music and tempos I've been wanting to put together a mix focusing on the deep and psychedelic side of techno. I wanted to create a mix that feels like you are sliding down through an infinite spiral, sort of like when Alice goes down the rabbit hole. Seeing Rrose performing at Dripping was a big inspiration to aim for that hyper-textural and ever-expanding sound.

"Woven with a characteristic sentimental string, you'll find yourself among the depths of 2000s drum and bass, the dreamy respite of downtempo and the intricate beauty of modern-day IDM.

This mix is dedicated to my longstanding love for ASC's 'Deep Space' mix series, a love that  now projects toward contemporary platforms like INVEINS ~ I'm so grateful to be here."

Barcelona and Amsterdam based producers and DJ duo Iro Aka is taking control of episode 24 of Polychrome Radio.

When visual artist and friend Gerard Musquera shares music with us it usually means something special, and introducing us to David and Carles’ catalogue definitely was. We fell in love with their sound which covers a wide spectrum from IDM to Techno while keeping a deep and hypnotic touch that makes it unique and recognisable at first listen. Meeting David for the first time during our June De School gathering simply confirmed that Iro Aka deeply shared the vision, values and mindset that make Polychrome, and laid the basis for a friendship both on and off the dance floors.

When harmony in sound and passion ties  two artists, it leads to beautiful results. David and Carles are in sync, and living in two different cities did not get in the way of their vision and work ethic. We keep on being amazed by the level of consistency in their creative process, from their already rich catalogue, latest critically acclaimed (and simply incredible) Planet Earth album on @hivern_disc , to their super well curated and executed selections. It forces the attention.

Iro Aka transports us in a tunnel of hypnotism and deep psychedelia carried by polyrhythms, floating subtle melodies and acid sounds. This recording perfectly captures the duo’s psilocybine infused sound, driving and mind opening. A real trip that we are so happy to share with you. Enjoy 🍄

It’s been quite some time since we last put out a mixtape on the Fuaim series, and we’re delighted to kickstart things again with a feature from NYC talent jek. Jack has been making quite the name for himself within the US scene, all the while gaining plenty of traction across the pond, with the first release of his Earth Dog Records (@earthdogbk) imprint coming out earlier this year.

Recorded live at Nowadays (@nowadaysnyc) back in September for Aurora Halal’s (@itsallhalal) residency, this mix effortlessly glides from deep & dubby tones to bouncy, pumping club tracks. It’s one of them mixes that epitomizes the development of an opening slot, maneuvering it’s way through a myriad of psychedelic textures before handing over to Maara (@maara) on the night.
