Yòp @ Radio Radio [Club set May '22]

Untitled18 - 1

At the very coalface of the UK rave/breakbeat/techno/call it what you like scene since the 1990s, Jerome Hill is something of a hidden treasure amongst the plethora of DJs and producers to have dropped both bangers and bloopers over the ensuing three decades.  With minimum of fuss and fanfare, Hill has steered record labels like Super Rhythm Trax, Don’t, Fat Hop and Hornsey Hardcore to revered acclaim, as well as firing out a consistent stream of releases for imprints such as Matthew Herbert’s Accidental Jr, Exalt Records, and I Love Acid, to name but a few.

Surprisingly, ‘Flow Mechanics’ is Hill’s debut album after a production career that kicked off in 1998 as one half of Groove Asylum. And its collection of unabashed acid and rave bangers is a perfect fit for the Hypercolour label, whose personnel over the last few years has included Luke Vibert, DMX Krew, Shelley Parker and Gary Gritness.  Tracks produced directly for club play; the album features 8 cuts destined to fit in cross-genre sets.

With pumping electro cuts such as ‘Deafening Lull’ and ‘Knob Jitter’, four to the floor acid stompers like ‘Walk The Plank’, the mutant garage of ‘Brought Up Badly’ and the house groover ‘Stax Had The Funk’, ‘Flow Mechanics’ is a joyous romp through rave’s sound palette, replete with playful samples and skits (featured on the vinyl LP version), and a mischievous demeanour that affords the listener an lively album that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Philo X Måtyrer 

The last slot of our February roster is brought to you courtesy of this Cologne-based team-up; they strayed away from their usual repertoire for an atmospheric and bouncy progressive house mix dipped in acid. The two recently discovered this love together, showcasing it in several b2b’s already, and are thrilled to give us a taste of their medicine

Måtyrer, with his roots in techno, runs a true institution of techno nights in Cologne with Brutalism inviting household names such as Sataoc Mass, DJ Pete, Voiski & Nene H while also branching out to venues like Tresor.West. 
Philo proves you don't need decades of experience to understand and push the boundaries of a genre. With national and international recognition, her originally vinyl-exclusive selection has evolved over time into a digital hybrid in the pursuit of the best possible sound. Being a regular on UK lineups, characteristics of her eclectic selection naturally involve rough UK bass, which is somewhere between breakbeat, 4 to the floor, dubby bass bin jungle, and footwork, with a splash of classic 90s as well as progressive house according to the maxim "keep moving forward“! 
Not long ago she started producing and released some of her work on Headlight Records, Nice & Deadly, nonesuch, Stereo45, Defrostatica, and Miura Records- with more on the way.
In 2021, together with Marie Montexier, Aino DJ, and No:elia, she founded the event series Précey, which focuses on female and non-binary artists to push the scene in Cologne and in general.  She also hosts her monthly radio show on jungletrain.net inviting artists like Denham Audio, Coco Bryce, Rassan, Amy Dabbs & plenty of others, so be sure to check that out but of course not before you caught the undeniable vibes on DUSK255.

DUSK255 By Philo X Måtyrer

Belgian artist & producer Kris Vanderheyden has been a tour de force on the electronic music landscape ever since careering onto the scene in the early 1990s.  A regular collaborator with CJ Bolland (co-writing the landmark ‘The 4th Sign’ album release, as well as on the huge singles ‘Sugar Is Sweeter’ and ‘The Prophet’) as well as remixing global stars Blondie and Janet Jackson, Vanderheyden has also been knocking out bona fide rave classics under the Insider moniker.

In support of his latest single 'Something Flash' and inclusion on the In Order To Dance 4.0 album, Insider serves up a killer live mix of 100% Insider productions.

The single ‘Something Flash’ is available on R&S Records from 10th March 2023 >> fanlink.to/RS2216

In Order To Dance 4.0 >> fanlink.to/RS2220

Edition of 300 white vinyl:

Following the Lisbon producer’s last SNF release - a worldbuilding album that paid tribute to video game aesthetics - Pure Movements EP proves yet again his versatility.

Whilst Henosis LP dabbled in ambient, his latest sees this direction take full form. Contemplative ambience invites us to melt into it, with reverb-drenched acid melodies adding enough unease to keep us on our toes. Add in some deep, off-kilter bass throbs and this one is a real treat to the ears. Lock in and drift away.

Pure Movements EP drops 21st April via Shall Not Fade
