"Focusing on razor-edged techno pop, bleepy drum machine minimalism and homemade synth experiments, ['80s UCC Vol.2'] takes a global view of the 80s tape underground...saturated in a vibrant layer of multicoloured DIY ambition. But this compilation is more than a nostalgia-fuelled expansion of the archive. It bends chronologies, suggesting that A didn’t necessarily follow B in the way it’s usually assumed. A snap-shot full of surprise precursors, heroic outliers and yet to be realised possibilities." - The Quietus

"Brilliant" - Tom Ravenscroft (BBC RADIO 6 MUSIC)

"From the lurching misanthropic menace of Years On Earth to the static drum machine robo funk of M Rendell, from the dark proto-House, monochrome industrial work out of Pornosect to the primitive sample-punk of Ob Ovo, these mutants all made music brimming with life and vim under the layer of culture and reality that was the mainstream in the 80s. Think Cabaret Voltairish experimentation, sub-Fad Gadget desperation, burbling radiophonic synth tones smothering grooves, these coldest of waves and most clanging of industrial tones represent a tip or a trough of an iceberg or valley of endless invention from the decade that refuses to die." - Monorail

"Listeners with insight into the subterranean 1980s might gather they have a handle on what 80s Underground Cassette Culture Volume 2 has in store, but a mere spin of the sides reveals the contents to be more expansive than one might expect...and even better, all the cuts have been fully licensed from the artists, making this a stand-up undertaking all-around. " - The Vinyl District

DTC 2022 gifted us with many ripping performances. One of them came from our good friends - Marsman & Daniele Cosmo, who delivered a stomping set at Sunday's afterparty.

Today in the Digital Tsunami interview section we are having Mike Tansella Jr. Italian DJ/selector based in Berlin. South Italian, to be exact - we are discussing the 'sweetness and roughness' of this area, which is definitely noticeable in Mike's musical approach. Tansella is having a project Son Of Traders together with his cousin Tans, which has recently became a music label. Our short conversation is accompanying Mike's DT podcast - tune it and enjoy a little bit of a backstory of how Tansella got into the Djing adventure.

Decomposition is a mix series by Dead Channel. Fig. 18 comes from M PARENT, and is a live modular set from a practice session prepping for Detour's Hot Mass in January 2023. The Philadelphia based producer latest releases have been on Acid Camp and Sons of Traders. In his own words "Over the course of the last two years I have been challenging myself to build a modular system that allows me to create basslines, atonal melodies, and patterns on the fly...where the machines play me just as much as I play them." Tune in for a taste of this raw, boomed out madness full of dirty acid, ominous tones, and hard hitting rhythms.
