"Summer of Solstice 3055: 

I’d just returned from a long stint working the orbital docks, preparing to settle back into the life cycle routine that was Valkor Zenith. The last thing I expected was to reconnect with three old friends from my days at the Echo House orphanage. Sora had slipped back from exile on Neoterra Prime. Rion had fled the undercity of Crysalis after a grav-bike race gone bad. And Omrin, who I hadn’t seen or heard of in more than a decade, had shown up out of nowhere as if no time had passed with a stolen data map and a proposition: we’d go find the Dream Beacon.

We’d grown up with the story. A myth, really. Some ancient alien relic buried deep in the sand sea, spoken of in hushed tones in level D bars and back-alley data centres. The promise was simple, if you could reactivate its signal with your own transmission, you’d be granted your most longed-for dreams and unimaginable wealth. No one had ever found it.

I’m still not entirely sure what made us set off and follow Omrin so blindly that summer. Maybe it was grief, maybe hope. Or just that need to move, to do anything but sit still. Each of us were adrift in our own orbit of longing and loss, and somehow, we collided again, drawn together like shards of a broken constellation.

We had left the neon haze of Valkor Zenith behind at sunset, riding the wide stretches of plasma rail to the outer edges as the city lights faded behind us. Nights were lit by twin moons and we passed the time listening to old mixes we’d recorded in our youth, our playlists humming through our comms as we hurtled across other-worldly landscapes at 200mph. In the two months that followed, we would laugh in the ruins of the Oblivion Cradle, party with rogue miners in bioluminescent fungi caverns, feel the cold rush of air as our bikes skimmed the ridges of the Halcyon Scar, be chased by Karn bike gangs through synth-storms, and save a lone settler named Joyce trapped in a dust pocket whilst traversing the Ash Spires. 

As we hurtled towards the promise of the Dream Beacon, I often wondered, was the beacon even real? And if it was, what would I even upload as my transmission? Maybe one of those old mixes we used to make. I’m sure all these questions flickered across all our minds, unspoken. But that summer, deep down, none of it really mattered. I would’ve followed those three anywhere..."

WRECKS WRADIO - STRING THEORY 2 - KWAKE

* FULL INERVIEW: https://boltingbits.com/mixed-by-gearmaster/

For this edition of our MIXED BY series, we're thrilled to welcome Gearmaster, the fresh alias from the minds behind former duo Abdul Raeva. Emerging from the vibrant underground scene of Tallinn, Gearmaster represents a new chapter marked by a refined sonic identity — “more groove, less goof,” as they put it.

In the interview, the duo reflects on their artistic evolution, explaining how the Gearmaster project distills years of experimentation into something more deliberate and groovy, while still carrying the punch and playfulness that made their previous work stand out. With the launch of their own label Slipdisc Recordings, they now have full creative control, and their debut release Time To Slam sets the tone: high-energy, groove-forward club music with a sharp ear for texture and detail.

Expect a mix that echoes this philosophy — percussive, fun, and purposeful — balancing subtle movements with floor-ready energy. It’s a fusion of everything they’ve learned through years of alias-hopping and sound design, delivered with clarity and character.

Tune in, turn it up, and let Gearmaster guide you through their finely tuned universe.

INTERVIEW.

Artist: Schadenheimer
Title: Der Lärm in meinem Kopf
Track Title: Der Lärm in meinem Kopf
Label: R.A.N.D. Muzik Recordings
Cat #: RM7001
Release date: 18.07.2025
Format: vinyl, digital

@rand_muzik_recordings

Schadenheimer fled Syria for Europe in 2016, eventually finding refuge in Germany. While working through personal challenges, they began exploring new wave, electronica and the raw aesthetics of post-punk, all of which shaped the sound and feel of this release.

Their first single, "Der Lärm in meinem Kopf / Selbstliebe ist egal" reflects a state of inner unrest. Drawing from experiences of war, migration and personal struggle, Schadenheimer shares a direct and honest take on what it means to live with constant noise/war within.

This release comes from something deeply personal but speaks to a broader experience. While rooted in the trauma of displacement and emotional conflict, the songs touch on something many can relate to. They explore self-doubt, emotional numbness and the quiet pull of self-sabotage.

According to Schadenheimer, despite the weight of these themes - there was always a sense that something within could carry them forward. That feeling doesn’t remove the struggle, but it helps to keep moving.

"Der Lärm in meinem Kopf / Selbstliebe ist egal" will be released on 18.07.2025 on 7" vinyl and digital via the Leipzig imprint, R.A.N.D. Muzik Recordings.

Premiere | Schadenheimer - Der Lärm in meinem Kopf (RM7001)

illillillillill says he’s not a DJ, he just ecstatically breaks (or is broken by) the sound. Belgrade’s invincible romantic has been raiding dancefloors since the 90s with 303 in the heart and acid in the dark. This episode was inevitable from the moment we met at Magla. Two hours of what happens when queer-a-billy dance moves meet clean mix theory.
