Nair’s releases traverse genres, often fusing electro, leftfield techno, breaks and UK bass sentiments. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Nair is an expert in cross-genre blending. His sets are somatic, textured and dynamic, braiding acidic electro, broken rhythms, ghettotech, jungle, experimental disco, and bass music with dexterous ease. These are sonic narratives pointed to move and mesmerize peak-time floors. Nair’s productions, in conjunction with his selection skills, establish him as a fresh, unconventional voice in dance music. Nikki Nair is this week's guest #OnTheRecord

The work of Hong-Kong-born, Bristol-based gyrofield eludes single descriptors. A self-taught writer and musician, their work is born from an interweaving relationship with electronic music. There is a beating heart at the core of every gyrofield piece, but adorned and disheveled with layers of interpreted life and absorbed culture. Her upcoming releases set to reveal a new chapter, one where life further blurs with the process of creation, one where music is equal parts escapism and self-realization. All art is constantly understood and misunderstood, but widespread support from dance music's other trailblazers and most-respected tastemakers show a growing resonance with her work. gyrofield is this week's guest #OnTheRecord

Seemingly born to perform, lau.ra’s innate understanding of how to work with vocalists and her impeccable singing voice, combined with an almost reductive approach to making music and a penchant for dance floor bangers, lie at the core of her upwards trajectory. lau.ra is this week's guest #OnTheRecord

1tbsp is an indie-house/dance project from Grammy Award Nominee songwriter/producer Maxwell Byrne, who is more commonly known for his work as Golden Vessel. Back in 2019 Maxwell began exploring elements of house music while researching songs for his DJ performances at “Sumoclic Nights”; a monthly event that he was hosting at a Brisbane venue. This eventually led to him creating some of his own tracks to use in those sets, and after a while he found he had a solid collection of songs that he really wanted to share with the world. With the direction of this new music being so different from the usual Golden Vessel sound, Maxwell decided to create a whole new project, giving life to 1tbsp. 1tbsp is this week's guest #OnTheRecord

deep desire to promote the authenticity and freedom that music can bring.

Khiva is a music producer and songwriter. Honouring a deep longing to convey a passion that arises from somewhere far beneath a visible reality, Khiva attempts to bring the deep rooted to the surface. Finding her true love within sonic sculpture and nurturing a propensity toward the emotionally fuelled and often dramatic, bass driven 140-centric styles offer a natural focal point, but in no way a limit, for her musical exports. Intricately crafting low frequency soundscapes and charging beats while fervently utilizing contrasts alongside often haunting and metaphorical lyrical stylings, she hopes to invoke a true experience in the listener. Khiva is this week's guest #OnTheRecord

Khiva - On The Record #215

SICARIA is this week's guest #OnTheRecord
