We are rather delighted to welcome one of our favourite DJ duos to the ITI mix series! Milanese gentlemen, and now full-time Berliners, Younger Than Me have been on our radar tearing up dance-floors and releasing fantastic productions for a couple of years, with their remix of I'll Never Reach Your Level by Shun being a standout highlight in the ITI back catalogue! 

The boys treat us to an hour of electronic rumblings from the (much missed) dance-floor, touching on classic breakbeat, acid, techno, rave, house etc.. all the while with that inimitable YTM flair. 

Look out for their next EP on the Tusk Wax sub-label they run, 90's Wax, featuring ITI head honcho Timothy Clerkin and Francesco Farfa and follow them here:

After piquing our dance-floor interest with his amazing productions over the last few months, we had to ask him to remix Timothy Clerkin's 'Hatred' in November, which he turned into a club-destroying monster! 

The New Yorker (now Berlin resident) treats us to an hour of dark, EBM-infused Acid, Disco, Techno and everything in between here, showcasing the idiosyncratically wonderful False Witness sound.

ITI MIx 019: False Witness

Sebastian Voigt & Timothy Clerkin - The Future

YOKOCHO's debut on Ransom Note Records sub-label, Insult To Injury (run by remixer Timothy Clerkin) is a low fidelity, nostalgic tour de force. Hailing from Antwerp, Belgium, YOKOCHO has inherited the New Beat mantle and run with it; putting his own, inimitable spin on it! The EP will also be available on cassette tape, where it truly belongs. 

Lead single Everyday Diamonds is a feel-good summer hit, perfect to lift one’s spirits heavenwards, post-lockdown! Data brings us crashing back to earth with some distorted, visceral 303 action, providing a down & dirty antidote to the single.

Other Side Of The Mirror brings yet more lofi drum machine groove to the table, before we’re drowned in a sea of lush, ambient vintage synthesizers at the breakdown. See You There is the perfect way to close out – if robots in the 80’s dreamt of paradise islands, this was to soundtrack to their dreams. Sublime. 

Label owner, Timothy Clerkin has produced a 303-propelled, Acid-House dance-floor destroying remix of Everyday Diamonds, which provides a counterpoint to the wobbly tape, slow-mo originals, ensuring that the YOKOCHO sound can be translated into any club environment.

Everyday Diamonds EP

YOKOCHO - See You There [ITI#15]

Providing his debut for Ransom Note Records offshoot Insult To Injury, our fellow Amsterdammer and ECHOBOX radio DJ Oneven (a.k.a. Andrew Visser) offers up five pieces of electronic meatiness for our ravenous consumption. As a duel British/Dutch citizen, his electronic music heritage is strong and he draws on early IDM / Braindance methods to create a unique, trademark sound. With a huge passion for hardware, Oneven tries to keep the music as organic and honest as possible, mistakes and all.

Lead single (and synth master class) VM1S2RM springs out of the trap first, hurtling along at breakneck pace, peppered with curious bleeps, noises and percussion stabs, this IDM monster leaves little breathing room. Next up, M52t5, comes down a few gears and treats us to some laid back, electro tinged 808 beats and beautifully ethereal chords over the industrial, Kraftwerk-esque synth lines.

brrytmt takes us into another world completely, tugging at the heartstrings with its expressive, lofi chords, rolling over the top of some beautifully heavy, distorted beats. Tissue continues in that vein, more subdued machine sounds are juxtaposed to the frantic 707 rhythms and repeating vocal edit, conjuring up an eerily stunning scene.

Rounding off, we’re treated to more stirring, processed sounds with Dlaciebie. A sparse and precise piece of automaton music that invokes a certain sadness, proving once and for all that, machines do indeed have emotions...

Corpus Vol.2

PREMIERE: Apollo View - II (Violet Remix)[ITI#16]

Dropping their second Corpus compilation, Ransom Note Records offshoot Insult To Injury showcases gems from the label, past and present. Focusing on remixes from early digital releases, augmented with a brand new mix of Timothy Clerkin, these four dance floor weapons see a release on their rightful format, 12” wax. 

Opening proceedings with a meditative, shadowy remix of Timothy Clerkin’s Primary Function, Berlin’s Shokh takes us down into the depths, showcasing his masterful production skills with a lofi trip into the darkness.

Pre-Order: https://timothyclerkin.bandcamp.com/album/dreaming-ep

Returning to the Ransom Note Records offshoot, Insult To Injury boss Timothy Clerkin presents four prime cuts of rave meatiness for our ravenous consumption. Showing off his chops, Timothy’s distinctive Acid sound collides head on with Jungle and Breakbeat elements, put through the mincer to form an EP of epic dance floor destroyers. 

Dreaming explodes out of the gate first, clattering in with a big, wobbly bass line before dropping into a rapturous rave anthem! Perfect for the late summer festivals. Tour de Trance takes the tempo down a notch, whilst revving up the Hands-In-The-Air-O-Meter! Big, analogue synths build throughout, sweeping us up and taking us to a place of pure ecstasy by the end.

Jangala continues this blissfulness, transporting us to a synthesized rainforest, where birds call and string sections play in perfect harmony. This paradise is fleeting though, as the carpet is ripped out from under our feet and we’re slapped around the face by a rave stab so aggressive, it probably has rabies. 

Broken Wing takes us to the close with eastern inspired melodies and drums interacting with an Acid bass and resonant synth stabs to generate a hypnotic state of being. As we approach enlightenment, the sounds build around us to transport us to a higher rave plain.

Timothy Clerkin - Dreaming EP [Snippets] ITI#20

Returning to the R$N Records offshoot, Insult To Injury boss Timothy Clerkin employs the inimitable talents of Berlin resident (& producer extraordinaire) Rookley for remix duties. Sinking his teeth into Acid-Breaks monster, Jangala, he wastes no time, Turning the Techno up to 11, with earth shattering drums under aggressive rythms - this is not one for the faint of heart! Incorporating field recordings & soundtrack samples, Rookley’s urge for innovation takes us somewhere completely new.

Dreaming EP Remixed

Jangala (Rookley Remix)

Link: https://lapalace.bandcamp.com/album/ephemera-ep?label=2815698826&tab=music

Announcing their debut for Insult To Injury Records, Manchester based newcomer, Lapalace, has furnished the good ship ITI with three ambitious, epic cuts of divergent dance destroyers that touch on Ambient, Jungle and everything in between! Lily Mumby, the creative brain box behind the project, has a no limits approach to her sound palette, with a range of inspiration from William Basinski, to Autechre and Lorn. Backed up by a break-tastic remix from the mighty Thugwidow, Lapalace’s Ephemera EP is a tour de force debut that will have disc jockeys rejoicing, the world over.

Titular piece Ephemera kicks things off with a trademark Lapalace soundscape, blending both field recordings from the natural world and synthesised sounds, all mixed with a touch of nostalgic 90s keyboard work. The climatic drop manages to be both beautiful and aggressively caustic simultaneously, as hazy, evocative chords meet a thoroughly pugnacious drum breakbeat!

Tired Eyes slows the pace a little, immersing the listener in an audio bath of retro, cavernous strings that create a celestial soundscape of truly divine proportions. Constance continues on the downtempo tip, fading into view with its arpeggios darting up and down, underpinned by a frightfully hefty bass line. This tranquil beginning transpires to be a red herring, however, as the drums kick in hallway through and transform the ambience into a full throttle, no nonsense, breakbeat behemoth!

ITI Records are very excited to have Thugwidow on remix duties, as we’ve been a fan of his music for some time. He does’t disappoint here either, as he ‘breaks’ Ephemera into tiny pieces and rebuilds it in his own image. Make no mistake, this is a dance floor demolisher of the highest pedigree!

As the name suggests, the original mix of Ephemera is a rather brief affair, so Lapalace has worked their magic and concocted an Extended 12” Mix for all you lovely club DJ’s. Taking the elements from the original and adding a few extra, this lengthier version lets the music breathe, taking it’s time as it effortlessly glides along, before slapping us around the chops with that final break. To which we can only say, Amen Brother!

Lapalace - Tired Eyes [ITI#22]

The ITI Mix Series returns with the enigmatic Thugwidow. He's dropped a hot and heavy mix of Thuggy approved bangers to blow away your autumnal cobwebs...

More Details

ITI Mix 020: Thugwidow

Ransom Note Records sub label Insult To Injury are delighted to welcome back analogue techno pioneers Buran with their second full length excursion for the label, in the form of The Hunter EP. Born of the mechanical machinations of Joe Wretham and Ian Scott, their latest instalment of furious face melters is aimed squarely at the post midnight dancefloor, bubbling away with squelchy 303 potions and black magic beats.

First single, Alnitak, opens the EP and immediately we’re confronted with Buran’s inimitable modus operandi; slash and burn Acid Techno with a scorched earth ethos. A full frontal assault of acidic sorcery, lobbing techno bangers over the ramparts as the castle walls are pummelled. Hold onto your hats, it’s not for the faint of heart!

Alnilam is next out the gate, ricocheting off the armour plating of its enemies, bouncing along and razing everything in its path to the ground. We’re delivered brief respite from the brutality with the addition of some celestial vocal edits, whose angelic timbres provide juxtaposition to the synthetic onslaught. As the smoke clears, the penultimate Mintaka glides into view. Wonderfully barbed, but gloriously lush chords propel the track forward, over a bed over automaton drum machines and staccato blips, bleeps and swirling noise.

Rounding off, ITI are hyped to have the mighty Void Complet on remix duties. Fresh off the back of his breakthrough release on CHOBU Records, London based super producer Chog Burley takes Alnitak and reimagines it in his own image. Launching with a rich, metallic arpeggio, we’re drawn into an analogue dream, before realising that’s all a ruse. We have been lulled into a false sense of security, because we’re about to be clattered around the head by that savage 303 riff from the original. We’re caught in the crossfire as glitched vocals and bit crushed acid lines vie for dominance. This correspondent knows not how to fully encapsulate the terror of this remix... watch out dance floors around the world!

Timothy Clerkin returns to Insult To Injury after over a year away with explosive new Acid-Techno single Sigma. An overt analogue assault on the senses the track was performed live in Clerkin's vintage synthesiser recording facility. The result is a face melting melange of retro sounds & futurism underpinned by the nihilistic vocal sample that belies his Punk musical history. Hold onto your hats, this one packs a punch!

Stream/Buy

Timothy Clerkin - Sigma [ITI#24S]

Returning to Ransom Note Records sub-label, Insult to Injury, Timothy Clerkin is back with incendiary new record, Fading EP. An overt, Acid-Techno analogue assault on the senses, all tracks were performed live in Clerkin's vintage synthesiser recording facility. Backed with a vinyl exclusive remix from the mighty Posthuman (not available digitally) and limited to a run of 100, hand stamped 12”s, you’ll need to be fleet of foot to get your hands on it!

Titular track, Fading, features the inimitable vocal talents of Brighton based Shoegazers HANYA’s front person Heather Sheret, whose heavenly articulation offsets the high voltage, rhythmic battering that opens the record. Booming 909’s propel us forward as we’re launched headlong into the rave maelstrom where squelchy bass lines and breakbeats grapple with trancelike strings for dominance.

Next out of the gate, Sigma hurls itself from the cocoon and slaps us around the face, hugging it tightly like an Acid-Techno Xenomorph. A face melting melange of retro sounds & futurism, it’s underpinned by the nihilistic vocal sample that belies Clerkin’s antiestablishment Punk musical past. Hold onto your hats and remember to BREATHE!

ITI Records are very excited to have head honcho of the I Love Acid parties, Balkan Vinyl and record producer extraordinaire, Posthuman on remix duties. Never one to disappoint, he ‘breaks’ Fading down into tiny pieces and rebuilds it in his own image. Taking inspiration from early Hardcore and Acid aesthetics, we’re treated to a proper dance floor workout of 808s, Rave Hoovers and breakbeats.

Rounding off, Collapsed Lung is a slightly more introspective affair. Jam packed with glitched drums and sequenced, mechanical tones, it builds towards an etherial climax. This slightly distant, intangible and dreamlike number glides out of view just as quickly arrived, leaving us feeling incongruously all warm and fuzzy, after the absolute clobbering that opened the record.

First up in our DJ mix series we have the multi-talented Anna Lann, who also happens to be the artist behind out first release: Anna Lann & Emmanuel Caurel - Zephyr EP. 

This is Anna’s third EP – following the previously released Moist and Forming a Moon –she also runs the multidisciplinary creative art hub PentHouss. Most recently, Anna’s remix of ‘Cholera’ by C.A.R. was featured as the soundtrack to Gal Shenfeld’s spring/summer collection ‘Heroes’ at Tel Aviv Fashion Week 2018.

Eye's down, look in for an hour & a half of music from Anna's wonderfully angular world!

ITI Mix 001: Anna Lann

Hot on the heels of his breakthrough ‘Serenade’ and ‘Knife Edge Heart’ 12”s, Ransom Note Records linchpin Timothy Clerkin returned earlier this year with the hotly tipped Unborn EP. Comprising four slices of leftfield, rave-infused behemoths, it further added to his growing catalogue of precision-tooled acid anthems. We’re incredibly excited to announce a remix EP, featuring three variations on the original themes of Unborn EP, from an all-star cast of some of our favourite producers. 

First up is style icon, multi-instrumentalist, DJ extraordinaire and mega-producer, Curses. He takes Akathisia on a dubbed out journey via chugging guitars, acidic synth stabs, swirling arpeggios and beyond. This one hits hard! 

We at R$N Towers were so impressed with techno overlord Mike Davis’s recent Anti-Mimesis EP that we simply had to ask him for a remix. He whips down Some Kind Of Threat’s trousers and has his filthy Techno way with it. Not for the faint of heart, this rolling techno odyssey will leave you sweaty, panting and depleted. 

Finally, one of R$N’s core artists and globe-trotting, acid mega-star, we welcome back Madrid’s Bawrut, who turns Unborn into a bouncing, uplifting rave anthem, full of lovely, bubbling analogue synthesisers and a drop that will have you pogoing on the spot.

ITI Mix 013: Jas Shaw (Live From Cologne)

From naught to believer in 60 seconds, Timothy Clerkin returns to Insult To Injury (the label he runs with perennially on-point platform Ransom Note) with three rave verses torn from the ultimate late night good book. Psalm takes us back to the oldest churches; big pads, lush chords, rushes galore, it’s a true dedication to the foundations but done with 2020 vision and production.

Slave Too follows with some serious up-a-gear oomph; full-on breaks, savage detuned stabs, it’s 1992 again, it’s 2am and everyone’s invited… Including the legend that is Jas Shaw who’s been an inspiration for Clerkin for many years (the Eskimo Twins were actually formed outside a Simian Mobile Disco gig at The Cockpit in Leeds many years ago) Flipping the rave but maintaining the pressure, Jas rolls out a juggernaut damager with full emphasis on those pounding kicks and the endless mutations in and around the groove. Heads-down, prepare to blast.

Finally we wrap up the business in the warped and woozy spirit Timothy intended. Exist Between The Spaces is disarming, strange, trippy and unconventional. It’s the finale every epic rave requires and the message in the title can’t be faulted either.

Saint Petersburg based DJ and producer extraordinaire Maruwa joins the ITI alumni for the latest instalment of our mix series. 

The incredibly impressive sounds coming out of her studio have been more than tickling our fancy of late, the On My Mind EP via Lobster Theremin staying firmly in our record bag and showing now signs of moving anywhere for the foreseeable! She effortlessly mixes elements of acid, hardcore, IDM and breakbeat, creating her own specific trademark of no-nonsense, dance-floor orientated musical warfare. 

Here, Maruwa treats us to an hour of 90s rave infused delights that’s had us bopping around ITI Towers all morning. Keep an ear out for new Maruwa-brand banger too: Ultraworld, which is out soon on GODDEZZ. Strap yourself in, ravers!

ITI Mix 015: Andy Bell

Fired up on high energy Electrons, Timothy Clerkin’s imprint Insult To Injury (the label he runs with perennially on-point platform Ransom Note) is back with another arsenal of acid-tinged techno firearms. Manchester’s own Buran light the Bunsen burner & get things super-heated with their analogue heroics. Both tracks are borne from live jams, with minimal adjustment before going to press. 

Test phase completed, first out the blocks is Beta, employing a monster low end 303 and analogue percussion to create a menacing floor destroyer. This savage assault is quickly followed by Kincaid’s reimagining of the track – slowed down and, for want of a better phrase, like, totally dubbed out, maaaan. Electro collides with Space Echo for a truly unique experience. 

Particles is next, with some serious up-a-gear oomph; full on foot-stomping action, with relentlessly driven acidic bass that takes us back to a time when we could lose ourselves to a groove on the dance-floor. Peak time, rolling techno that demands you move your body. 

Finally, we wind up business with Earth Trax’s ferocious take on Particles. Stripping things back somewhat and highlighting the laser-focused sounds of the original, he’s created a space battle in electro-work-out format. Synth projectiles whizz by our ears before we’re ejected in the vacuum of space with a serene, synth-lead soundscape coda.

Buran - Particles [ITI#12]

Fresh off the back of his amazing remix for Buran on Insult To Injury and ahead of his utterly fantastic new LP on Shall Not Fade, we are over the moon to welcome Earth Trax (a.k.a. Bartosz Kruczyński) to the ITI mix series!

He's provided an stunning mix of angular beats and lush synthesisers, taking us from weirdo-EBM through to nose-bleed techno with not an eyelid batted!

ITI Mix 016: Earth Trax

Christmas has come early at ITI Towers! After a "not very good" year (you may substitute this description for: fucking disastrous, if you so wish), we're delighted to be rounding it off with an addition to our mix series from style icon, Acid-House legend and visual artist-extraordinaire, Justin Robertson, Esq. Now, if only we can persuade him to put on around 8 stone, age 20 years overnight and grow his beard long, the festive experience will be complete...

For those that don't know, Justin was one of the pioneering talents that brought Acid-House to the fore in early 90's Manchester with his club nights Spice and Most Excellent, which he threw at various venues in the city, including the seminal Hacidena. This propelled him into the DJ limelight where he became a musical phenomenon at parties up and down the country like Bugged Out!, Cream, Heavenly Social, Bestival, Glastonbury, The Warehouse project and many others. Basically, anywhere good over the last thirty years!

His remix back catalogue is a who's who of culture, including, but not limited to: Bjork, New Order, Happy Mondays, Bryan Ferry, Noel Gallagher, Felix Da Housecat, Paul Weller, Erol Alkan & Boys Noize and Andrew Weatherall. Not content with this already high level of output, the ever-overachieving Justin decided to become a proper, bona-fide pop star by forming the band Lionrock and scoring a top 20 hit on the UK charts! 

Since then he’s added many more strings to his bow with innovative shows on Soho Radio, putting out music with long-time collaborator Daniel Avery, touring with The Chemical Brothers, a plethora of solo EP’s and albums, the latest of which was released via Brighton institution, Skint Records. He is also the mastermind behind cult act Revtone, he’s collaborated with Tim Burgess and written songs for two Fatboy Slim albums… impressed yet?

In recent years our Justin has diversified even further by moving into the visual art world and has exhibited his beautiful paintings, sketching and photographs around Europe. There is, seemingly, no end to the mans talents… 

As such, we are utterly thrilled to welcome JR to the ITI mix series! His DJ sets and mixes have been an inspiration over the years, and what he has recorded for us here is an impressive addition to that cannon. At a time when we all need a bit of positivity in our lives, Justin has kindly provided a two hour expedition into the left-field side of electronic music for the dance floor, filled with joy. 
Merry Christmas, one and all!
