Portal: What Lies Beyond.

Episode 08: Meridian.r

This eighth foray into the otherworld is helmed by another resident of the UK’s North - Sheffield based Meridian.r. Curator of the excellent Cycle podcast - formally an event series bringing some top tier deep techno talent to an intimate warehouse in the Steel City - it is currently a series of mixes that shines a light on the northern adjacent left-field electronics scene.

No stranger to helming the decks himself, having been pushing the deep grooves at the likes of the iconic Groundwork and Magnetic North as well as his own events, we had the fine selections of Meridian.r on showcase at one of our recent monthly gatherings - wandering through a delightful garden of sounds that fit very well with our own tastes here at Portal.

Another entry into the series composed entirely on a pair of 1210s, Meridian.r’s mix weaves from the depths of ambient oceans through dub techno infused breaks and chuggers, the energy building tacitly until equilibrium is found in a heady concoction of hypnotic techno that rides the interplay between drive and groove in style. See you on the other side.

What Lies Beyond 08: Meridian.r

Jeroen Search delivers Nautilus Lost, a forward-moving techno record built on precise, evolving structures and minimal repetitive rhythms.

Somewhere beneath the surface, where sunlight barely touches and time loses its shape, lies a world once known… now forgotten. Faded memories echo in the currents — glimpses of colors, whispers of movement, shadows of a life beneath the waves.

Dive into the unknown.
Reclaim the forgotten.
And awaken what sleeps beneath.

Jeroen Search - Nautilus Lost [RRR015]

Following the reissue of his debut album Dispatches, Field Records is proud to return to the seminal work of Mike Parker with an overview of his releases on Prologue — a truly original strain of steely, hypnotic techno that has touched upon many different waves within the wider scene. 

Having pioneered a hard-edged, reductionist style via his Geophone label since the mid-90s, around 2010 Mike Parker found himself at the vanguard of an emergent sound alongside artists like Donato Dozzy and Cio D'or exploring the possibilities of immersive, profoundly transcendental club music. The Prologue label came to define this cult zeitgeist, where reduction and repetition took on a truly psychedelic quality and the subtle details made all the difference. It ran from 2008 to 2015, laying the foundations for the deep techno sound that remains a vital, evolving subculture in the present moment. 

From Parker's first appearance on Prologue with the Subterranean Liquid EP in 2011 through to the Lustrations LP in 2013, he delivered some of the most incisive music of his accomplished career — teased-out rhythms carrying exquisitely engineered textures veering from the subliminal to the visceral, locked into endless, cyclical oblivion and maintaining a stern, machinist veneer.  This collection on Field Records combs through Parker's Prologue output and makes a considered selection, gathering key pieces from the first two EPs alongside six of the album tracks on a triple vinyl pressing, alongside a further eight cuts on the expanded digital edition.

Not just a straight-forward reissue, consider Epilogue a thoughtful reframing of a key point in Mike Parker's stellar career. In every exacting pulse, every inch of tacit spatial design, it's the work of an expert sculpting a sound which remains influential in the here and now.

We’re very happy to present a 1.5 hour recording from Igadi for the 138th episode of our podcast series!
For this set, Igadi has crafted an introspective sequence that moves from textural into deep soundscapes, seamlessly blending between broken and straight rhythms.

More info about Igadi:
Berlin-based artist Igadi crafts immersive soundscapes shaped by a deep sense of rhythm. He first started playing during university, but it was while living in Australia and developing his format through extended sets that his style truly took form. These experiences taught him to explore the balance between structure and unpredictability.
With an organic, intuitive mixing style, Igadi focuses on guiding the energy of the room. His philosophy reflects a belief that music should inspire engagement. Each set and production aims to create space for deep listening while keeping things moving.
Adaptable across contexts, Igadi moves between high-intensity moments and deep introspection, always maintaining a flow.

Art Bei Ton Podcast ¹³⁸: Igadi

A little surprise to ease out of the summer and reminisce on the beautiful weekend we had at Monument Festival. I’m truly grateful for all the positive feedback I’ve received, and like many of you, I also felt the need to revisit this journey. 

Since there were some latency issues with my monitoring during the set, I decided to re-record the original tracklist to share this moment together as a sonic memory.

As a third-year visitor of the festival, I can safely say that my musical journey wouldn't have been the same without all the inspiring artists I have experienced at Monument. It has expanded my horizons in such a deep and valuable way, and it felt only right to reflect that journey in my set.

The mood I wanted to creat was an excursion over "Planet Monument". A bird's-eye view of the utopian place, shaped by many different sonic qualities that together form the festival we all love so much. 

Set time: Thursday 31st of August 20:00 - 22:00
