TM8 Q: When did you go to a club or a rave for the first time? 

A: "As soon as I turned 18, I went to the most popular club in my small city wearing a full sequin top, stiletto heels and my little asymmetrical bob. At this point I’ve never heard of techno music before so we were all bopping along to the most popular tracks on the radio at the time and had an absolute blast. It was a very different time for me."

Ukrainian-Australian artist Katia Val delivers TM8 #35, blending breakbeat, acid and lush techno into a potent hour of pleasure. The Paris-based producer and DJ is on a roll at the moment and her experience is mounting at the minute — she’s played at @about-blank-berlin, @etandetsted, @anomalieartclubberlin, Hangar FL and shared milestone mixes for @hoerberlin, @redlightradio, @possessiontechno and @rawppl. When it comes to producing, Katia leans toward several genres, making vibrant tones ripe and ready for a club soundsystem. On her Technomate podcast, Katia shows us what she’s all about in this bright session of psychedelic sounds.

Wellfare.wav Mix Series 002 - 5ZYL

Following multiple appearances on local Naarm label digital compilations, RBI lands on Butter Sessions with a full lengths worth of downtempo, ambient and full throttle, braindance-inspired dnb/jungle cuts. Whilst 'Proximity' and 'Return to Nature' presented RBI as one amongst many contemporary vanguards of the Australian electronic underground, her production style is allowed to shine in full effect on debut album Disseminate.

There is an undeniable influence of early breakbeat, 90s IDM and UK sound system pressure at play, though RBI's sound design is knowingly modern. Rarely dropping the tempo below 140 aside from brief, beatless interludes ('100o10o1hz' / 'Gossip'), the result is a fine balance of unrelenting rave music and thoughtful, introspective glitch. Penultimate jam 'Subterranean Dub' seems like a nod to the living-room techno of the Artificial Intelligence series, occasional soft breaks mixing with murky, aquatic ambience, whilst things close with an eerie avant-garde electroacoustic piece. 'Arrivée Les Nuages' strikes as a participation in the current re-evaluation of psytrance, though follows on from 'Vault Ultra' which clearly references the atmospheric breakdowns of golden era dubstep.
All in all, an impressive collection of dance productions which combines elements from scenes of the past 40 years.

NB: The tracks on Disseminate sit within a wider audio-visual context where they soundtrack various Naarm cityscapes rebuilt as immersive digital worlds: "I was lucky enough to collaborate with an incredibly talented friend and training architect Dom who came up with the idea of videos exploring digital spaces and worlds extracted from real locations. To create the work she filmed a number of locations near where we live, a warehouse party location, artist spaces, liminal spaces, objects..."

В ефірі POLUSCAST: Season of War, де лунає музика боротьби. У заключному епізоді нашої серії звучить @ele_c_tra – резидентка формацій Tsekh33 і радіошоу Killabreakz. Сформувала свій гібридний стиль із брейкбіту та гіпер-динамічного електро. Зʼявлялася в лайн-апах таких вечірок, як SWEETANOK, ПТАХА, КУБ, MOTANKA, CRAVE (MD) та ін.

«У цей мікс я вкладаю свої почуття з початку війни і впродовж неї, яка змушує відчувати й думати про жахливі, незрозумілі та болючі речі. Підбираючи та поєднуючи треки один з одним, ви почуєте, як думки та настрій змінювалися залежно від обставин довкола мене. Загалом вважаю ембіент одним із тонких музичних жанрів, за допомогою якого можна без слів передати атмосферу, почуття або власні думки».
