Amity Club with Cam(alot) Elpac & Mulholland - 21 April 2025

The second installment in Darwin’s curated mixes for Rhythmic Culture comes from UK duo Dual Monitor. Their boundary-pushing productions have earned them the moniker “The UK Genre Alchemists” from Rinse FM. This open-format approach to music carries through to their vibrant, kaleidoscopic DJ sets—no two ever the same. The duo deftly weaves together twisted, low-slung UK bass, skittering IDM, dancefloor-shaking tech-bow, and zoned-out dub and jungle.

Darwin: "The story of Dual Monitor is actually a really cute one. Jake Hodge sent me a track they made "Step Pattern" because he was so blown away by the production and said "You need to sign this," and I did instantly not even listening to it a second time! Fliss and Zebb are hands down some of the most talented up-and-coming producers I’ve come across in a while. The speed at which they’re cranking out tunes and dubs, and the range in their sound, is unreal. On top of that, they’re two of the loveliest people to hang with. So happy to have them as part of the SPE:C family."

The Ping Report 2025 is built almost entirely from community-sourced selections and productions, drawn from the MD Discord and beyond.

If you know my discography, this mix sits alongside Shared Meanings, Twists and Turns, Pinch B2B Mumdance and FabricLive 80.

Ping isn’t a genre. It's an approach to anchoring and propelling sound without relying on the steady pulse of a kick drum, instead using a “ping”  as a temporal scaffold 

A lot of the early Different Circles tracks had ping sounds running through them. When I played them on the radio, the Discord chat would often react with a meme of Momotaros, a Japanese devil character.

Over time, I started playing more pingy tracks just to trigger the meme. In 2023, I broadcast a moodboard show called The Ping Report, and from there, producers began sending in purpose-made ping tracks. That eventually led to the Ping Volume One compilation.

This 2025 Report is the ping sound evolved, shaped through two years of incubation and dialogue between a community of artists and listeners.

Thank you to everyone involved, especially the Discord crew. It’s been a joy to watch this grow so organically from a single meme. 😂

Radio Mumdance - The Ping Report 2025 - 20 August 2025

Zona Del Silencio or the Zone of Silence is an area deep in the Mexican desert. It is the home of several rare, mutant species of animals (including the purple cactus and a malformed version of the desert tortoise). The area’s name derives from an odd anomaly that prohibits radio waves from transmitting inside the zone. When asked about the strange phenomena, the locals invariably reply that they do not see strange things in the desert, only strange people.

Play this record three times and the IDWT gang will appear in your mirror and smoke you out.

Having impressed on the “Home Grown” EP, released in March of this year, London Modular Alliance return to Hypercolour with the 5 track “Wolves” EP.

Once again, a heavy arsenal of modular synths and analogue hardware were deployed in the production of these tracks, each once packing a punch and aesthetic that will appeal to many.  “Brockie Det” fires out the blocks with on point electro beats and melancholic pads, whilst “Militant” continues the theme, with dusted drums and thick washes of bass for a real futuristic funk moment.

Elsewhere on the EP, the disassembled arrangement of “Advance & Proceed” gives off a cold and discordant atmosphere, but remains firmly in groove and sonically tight, there’s a distinct jazz flare in the mix also!  “Tremors” hits hard and heavy, giving the Detroit electro cats a run for their money, whilst the EP title track, “Wolves” is a busy and inspired slab of British IDM at its very best.
