I woke up on Friday the 19th with the intent of recording a mix for MARICAS. I had been gathering tracks for weeks with the concept being  more "Queer Rave Joy"  with the focus being more funky, tribal cuts with splashes of Italo rather than the sounds I usually play for more techno leaning events and projects. I learned of the tragic and unexpected passing of Juan Mendez, Simone Ling, and Luis Vasquez almost immediately after waking up. I was numb all of that day. The sadness and pings of devastation grew as the weekend and then week went on. Throughout all of this I maintained that I wanted to go with my original plan for the mix.  I kept hitting heavy resistance everytime I went through my music and even more so as I tried to record. Making mixes is usually an arduous process for me. It takes sometimes 20 attempts for me to record a mix that I feel is releasable. When I went to bed Wednesday night I felt the pressure of pushing it deadline wise. When I went to record today something felt different. I didn't even make a conscious decision to go in another direction. I just played. It's as if I didn't even choose the tracks I was playing and it was like they were playing through me. When I finished listening to the recording I burst into tears. I always knew and would tell folks how much Silent Servant had an influence on me but it hit me so hard that I wouldn't be the artist I am without his music and artwork in my life.  This mix didn't feel like an ode or dedication as much as it was my farewell with an acknowledgment to his influence.

Siamese Twins embarks on its 10th release milestone with the acclaimed Thai performance artist Tul Waitoonkiat. In หนึ่งคำถาม (One Question), Waitoonkiat's poetry is conjoined into a versatile sonic meeting of minds, created in collaboration with producers Black Merlin, Sapphire Slows, and Sleep D. Aligning seamlessly with Siamese Twins' trademark ethos of cultural reflection and interdisciplinary exploration.

Waitoonkiat, known for his socio-political work "2553," which reflects on the 2010 military crackdown in Thailand, has presented his novel "Silence is Violence" through multidisciplinary art exhibitions across Bangkok. One of these collaborations with Siamese Twins’ Khun Fluff in 2022 established a profound connection and laid this release's foundational recording layer. The recorded poem explores existential themes, pondering the endless cycle of questioning and the dichotomy between silence and imagination, darkness and light, with its contemplative imagination setting the stage.

The A-side unveils George Thompson's universe, known in the terrestrial realm as Black Merlin, with two noirish cinematic explorations that compose Waitoonkiat’s trademark expressive and enigmatic voice into the release's fabric. Showcasing Thompson’s ability to create hypnotic, depth-charged soundscapes that captivatingly feed into a broader story rather than claiming center stage.

The B-side begins with a delicate approach to sound design, crafted through the Buchla synthesizer by Japanese modular artist Sapphire Slows. The charm of this version lies within the sustained notes that gently inhale and exhale between enigmatic vocoder effects and layers of beauty, nature, and technology.

B2 closes with a seven-and-a-half-minute peak timer revolving around a pulsating bassline and driving force of drum energy. One craving for packed warehouses and bush raves by the Australian wizards of OZ and Butter Sessions label owners, Sleep D, aka Corey Kikos and Maryos Syawish.

REC 21 w/ Nosedrip

The REC series compiles outstanding performances recorded in the club throughout the year, highlighting artists representing our love for electronic music.

The more we listen to Nosedrip’s last Room 01 adventure, the more we fall in love with it. Part of his all-nighter at Fuse and with a constant air of reflective and introspective touches, the Belgian leftfield treasure is doing justice to his reputation of never being predictable.

From vocals to etheric percussions, set-backed oddballs, or acid and Arabic sound textures, the Stroom.tv founder is drawing a resourceful example of his musical DNA. A spiritual ascension, guided by Ziggy Devriendt’s intuitions for two hours long.
