Speedy percussion meets screwface basslines: the Parisian club maestros are in session. 

Trying to find one word to describe the music of Amor Satyr and Siu Mata could run you into difficulty. But if we were to try, we'd reach for amphibian: slippery, nimble and evading borders with ease.

With solo and shared releases on labels like SSPB, HARDLINE, TraTraTrax and their own WAJANG, they have evident kinship with what moves contemporary dance floors. The pair are also linked to the rise of an alchemical style they like to call "speed dembow"—taking the looping rhythm of dembow before pitching it up to modern club tempos and adding muscle.

Combining tribal techno, baile funk, dubstep, jungle, dancehall and beyond, their RA Podcast makes for one hell of a ride, with over two hours of romping percussion, lysergic effects, high drama and plenty of wobble.

Hypercolour boss Alex Jones presses on with his killer streak of releases for the label. On this new single ‘Baz’, Jones delivers another earworm of weighty, leftfield electronica. 

‘Baz’, a slice of breakneck UK techno, comes weighted with skittering drum patterns and a deep, penetrating bassline with distorted synthwork and crooked samples.

Impérieux debuts on Hessle Audio with the Fena EP, an immersive collection of 4 tracks defined by his unpredictable and varied sonic palette. Drawing on a heritage that threads through Turkey, Greece and his home city of Kırcaali in Bulgaria, Alper Durmush channels a turbulent year in which six months of creative stillness ignited unexpectedly into an explosive burst of musical ideas.

"Fena is a word my Mum used to call me as a kid" recounts Durmush on the title track. "The name comes from Turkish, but with a Balkan twist, it means a mischievous rascal - wild, unpredictable, a bit too much at times". This restless energy is perfectly captured with jittering interferance and snarling sawtooth synths bursting through the mix, threatening to overwhelm the speakers and sending sound engineers running for cover. 'Sickomode' encapsulates the push-pull emotional sensibility of the EP, with confidence and meloncholy rotating, shifting, and giving way to each other.

'Saat' is an attempt to recreate a track based solely on a surreal description, relayed by a veteran of the rave scene in his home town - "This guy told me about a festival in the woods back in the early 2000s, where someone played a track with dogs barking in the break - the volume rising constantly." The initial dissonance of its detuned lead releases into a euphoric rush of melody, a combination which is becoming something of a producer trademark. The EP closes with the quiet, unwavering warmth of 'Cawuso', a nickname for a person that the artist met last year. "This very special person showered me with kindness and purity. It almost felt unreal, so I decided to dedicate this track to them."

Our next mix comes from Microchic—co-curator of Bratislava's bass-focused event series Selenite.
Her selection weaves through diverse territories of moody, bass-driven music — rich with tension and shadow—before gradually opening into fleeting moments of light and release. Introspective, fluid, tense and atmospheric.

Náš další mix přináší Microchic — spolukurátorka bratislavské série akcí zaměřené na basově laděnou hudbu s názvem Selenite. Její selekce se volně pohybuje napříč různorodými polohami náladové hudby s důrazem na basy — plné napětí a temných odstínů — než se postupně otevře do prchavých momentů světla a uvolnění. Introspektivní, tekutý(organický), naléhavý a atmosférický.
