Such a fitting ending for this masterpiece of a compilation. It's beautiful, but also really damaged

beyond words beautiful...speechlessness pure.

C90 tape recorded for Cav Empt in Summer 2020 - previously unreleased digitally

Ben UFO - Cav Empt Tape - Side 2

(tracklist below) 

This is part 2 of 3 of the recording from my set at Nowadays Nonstop on April 7, 2024.

I played from 9am-3pm, between JASSS and Bearcat, and it was one of the most creatively fulfilling sets I can remember playing – one of those sets where the audience, environment, atmosphere, tech setup, phase of the moon, whatever, all somehow lined up for a full 6 hours. And happily, the recording is maybe my favorite I’ve managed to capture to date. Huge thanks to Kristin for inviting me and to everyone who was there that morning.

Live at Nowadays 7 April 2024 - Part 2

Recording of CCL & Objekt's set at Dekmantel Selectors 2024.

CCL & Objekt at Dekmantel Selectors 2024

Kaleidoscopic psychedelia from one of Australia's finest.

While it might feel early to call bets on DJs of the decade, Kia Sydney, best known as Kia, is undoubtedly one of them. The Animalia founder began in Naarm's (Melbourne) underground scene in the mid-2010s, crediting a trip to the influential deep techno Japanese festival, Labyrinth, as the inspiration behind her sound.

Deep techno might not cut it as a descriptor for Sydney's sound, though. Hypnotic ribbons of steely techno mix with atmospherics and nimble grooves, drawing from IDM, dub and tech house, sharing as much with DJ Nobu and Donato Dozzy (try to find the track that overlaps with Dozzy's own RA Podcast) as well as modern practitioners like Priori and Beatrice M.

This distinctly Australian scuttling psychedelia has made Kia one of the most sought-after underground DJs globally. Her brainchild, Animalia, showcases a plurality of sounds and scenes, serving as living proof of the fruitful shift of the 2020s: less serious, perhaps, but with a sense of open-minded worldliness that offers a far more promising vision of what dance music can be and achieve.

Sydney's rare talent lies in forging connections, bringing people, sounds and ideas together with a distinct playfulness. Her RA Podcast showcases this alchemy in abundance, weaving classics like Monolake and Enya with peers such as OK EG, Cousin and Command D.

As she told us in her 2023 Breaking Through profile, "people tell me I have quite a distinctive sound but I can't tell so much because I hear so many different versions of it." RA.973 serves as confirmation that Kia's style is, to say the least, the mark of a generational talent.

collecting dust vol. 1

Milan-based Piezo (@piezopz) sits at the heart of the current club sounds. He has long had an obsession with sound system music and that defines what he does today: mutant and beguiling club tracks with meticulous sound design and thrilling energy, heavy low ends and a real dose of UK influence from d&b to garage, grime and techno. He kicked off the year by dropping his genre-busting Ecstatic Nostalgia EP on our Dekmantel-UFO sub-label and now returns with a podcast that is just as fresh.

It's a futuristic mix of bleeping machines and lurching rhythms with bright synth designs and deep space ambience. Over the course of 90 minutes, the pace picks up and you're whisked along a variety of rhythms from broken to dubby, head spinning to minimal. It feels utterly spontaneous but is also a fully coherent mix from this restless innovator. 

Dekmantel Mix 483 - Piezo

livwutang thrives in the fluidity of genre, delivering eclectic, high-energy sets with introspective depth and chaotic dexterity.

Rooted in dub’s spatial awareness and the rebellious spirit of dance music, her sound blends the vibrant rhythms of Central & West Africa, the innovation of Black American music, and timeless vocal melodies spanning six decades.

The release represents a complete rethink about what it means to compile and commission music in the streaming era – and the tracks and seductively dark atmospheres conjured as a result are exploring all kinds of new sonic territory, too. In short, the cream of leftfield electronic talent have been given a brief: to take the phrase “in Death's dream kingdom”, or the whole of T.S. Eliot's poem The Hollow Men from which it comes, as inspiration.

"Thinking about Eliot’s poem I kept coming back to a thought: why do we insist on using narrative in place of what is actually going on? Rilke had it wrong perhaps: angels aren’t terrible because of how brightly they burn and so consume us, but because of how much we would burn for them in our wild fits of restlessness and searching. We construct so dearly our kingdoms of dream and death, thinking this is who we are. But no next words will help – there is no more truth in those words unhappened than with these now disappearing ones. So this song might be a hymn to an unstory: our rooms are false, and the angels aren’t terrible but the likeness we search for them in surely is." ~ Ian William Craig

The resulting 25 tracks will be released, day by day, together with further artist information, to build into the full work. Not an album in the traditional sense, certainly more than just a playlist, it brings together a seriously diverse array of talents into a coherent whole with a vivid aesthetic reverberating through it. It occupies a similar space to the great home listening electronica acts of the 90s – Future Sound Of London, Global Communication, the Artificial Intelligence axis – but there are no throwbacks here: this is radical in sound and thought. Dark music for dark times.

25 TRACK COMP

Ian William Craig - An End Of Rooms (Full Track)

A small piece, sound-collage if you want, based on the pitched-down sounds of a threadbare vinyl recording of Beethoven’s sonatas (27 Nr. 2, 13, 57—not the best interpretations TBH) randomly found on Puławska street in Warsaw during a heavy rain around a year ago, as well as various other sonic percepts collected between approximately 2014 and 2017.
