Never Been is the first collaborative release by Loradeniz and Interstellar Funk, who produced the EP at a Volkshotel artist residency in Amsterdam, in 2021. The record examines the interplay of synthetic melodies and Loradeniz’s vocals, which are underpinned by meticulously crafted rhythms. Steeped in melancholy, many of the tracks on Never Been evoke the essence of departure, complex emotions and fading memories.

‘Freefall’ – which has already been played by DJs last summer – opens with a solid bassline and crystalline melodies. An urgent kick and racing hi-hats intensify the composition, while the dominant topline brings to mind a rapturous dance at twilight. An allegory of communication, ‘Hidden Tongue’ has Loradeniz pronouncing splintered vowels, like a malfunctioning public service recording, over a reverberated snare, deep kick and repeating glockenspiel figure.

‘Fly Me In’ begins with an arpeggiated melody, before slowly combining multiple electric accents and delicate vocals with spoken word passages exploring notions of escape. The heroic overtones of ‘Situational Lullaby’ develop subtly with layers of synths reminiscent of mid-90s soundtracks, while ‘Lurking Orange’ closes the release with its listless refrain and snake-like percussion.

The philosophy of VHS Library lies somewhere between sluggishly rolling tapes and the crackling of meticulously dug vinyls. Roads and Eimantas are the librarians, who choose the path of detective classics by staying in the shadows of the party, taking the directing role for the mood on the dancefloor.

Charlie, DJ, producer and LIVE performer is hailing from the Polish city of Krakow. There she caters to Krakow's visual art scene as the CO-director of the project space "Elementarz dla mieszkańców miast" and throws parties under the name "Szum" uniting cold mutant electro with sparkling italo disco. Behind the decks she has been smashing dancefloors for years, selecting an eclectic yet always driving mix drawing from the same influences. But as a skilled pianist, she was always drawn to creating her own music as well. She contributed several projects for movies and performances - and over the years fleshed out a killer live show. You can listen to her releases on labels such as Ferry Lane Records, Mechatronica, Worn Pop and Dom Trojga.

The enchantress in life and co-runner of spiritual event series in Berlin, Ceremonial Rite is manifesting through the music.

Consider performing a ritual, where music is a manifestation and dance is a liberation. Maneuvering between ethnic percussions and harsh acidic synths it’s a shamanic guide into tribal-influenced breaky and bass electronic music.
Her releases can be found on Haunted Space and BODY MUSICK.

She is also known as a Slow Motion/Wrong Era's guest with her alternative crafty ebm project ANBU.

Вау, мы до сих пор в Германии. Но на этот раз мы перемещаемся в Берлин. А куда же еще?!
Наша апрельская гостья - @Sleeptwitch, диджей и часть промо-коллектива CRUSH. Слово ей:
"Приготовьтесь к путешествию в прошлое, здесь вы найдете олдскульные мелодии и футуристические звуки. Смесь запоминающихся мелодий и механических битов перенесет вас в сказочную электронную страну чудес с идеальным балансом брейкбита, электро и грувом 90-х."
Мы полностью подтверждаем все вышеизложенное.

*****************************
Wow, we are still in Germany. But we are moving to Berlin this time. Our April's guest is @Sleeptwitch, a DJ & part of CRUSH collective. A word to her:
"Make yourself ready to journey back in time, here you get old school tunes and futuristic sounds. The blend of catchy melodies and robotic beats will transport you to a dreamy electronic wonderland, with a perfect balance of breakbeat, electro, and 90s grooves."
We wholeheartedly confirm all of the above.

Katia Stieber - Hybrid Mix - 001

"The EP is called Aureolas, un presente sin ti (Halos, a present without you). The title plays with the image of halos – the way they shine, their circular form, and the idea of cycles closing and beginning again. The record is very personal, about a breakup, and it carries both the heaviness of that moment and the angelic, luminous side of what remains."
