Peter, a friend of mine's just committed suicide.  He was a great friend of mine, and it's... I've come back, and I heard that, and it's shocked me a bit; and I wanna tell you because, um, not that you know him — that's not the point.  And he planned it out; he had a... he left his boyfriend... I mean, um, he left notes... and things. But he... he threw himself off a cliff, Peter, and... I just wondered what you think that feeling is like.

What happens, what goes through your head, between throwing yourself off, and actually dying? I wondered what you thought of it. Perhaps you could call me and tell me because it would help me, because I have a terrible fear of heights, and for me, just the idea of falling, so far, and being alive... And I just wondered if things go through your head — you know, people that you love, and that, or things that you feel that you should've done — flash before you, but you can't do anything about it. I just wondered what you thought.

You're probably the only person that I can call right now. And... I'd like to see you, because I think, in a funny way we're doing that... we're just... don't really connect.

One day, you know, you're gonna fall, or I'm gonna fall, or something's gonna happen; and... anyway. Well, I'm very sad. You know my number. Hope you're both well.

Lots of love. 

Bye.  ( "Is Suicide a Solution ?" by Coil )

Presenting: ANIMA #004 - Hekato

We are thrilled to announce… Hekato is officially joining the ANIMA family as a Resident ~

Always moving with elegance and grace, Hekato is an artist who's been present on the scene since 2019. As a co-founder of the rising Całość label and collective, she has established herself as one of Poland's most recognizable talents and rapidly growing artists. With a series of outstanding performances in the country, she caught our eyes, and captivated our ears; thus becoming a frequent guest in Berlin - Visiting venues such as About Blank, Else, and Tresor in the last year.

Hekato has been involved in music and art since childhood. She learned folk singing and dancing as a child, and was also drawn towards painting. Julia is originally from Rybnik, but now lives in Wroclaw, where she is developing her musical career. Initially fascinated by deep techno, she began to lean towards faster sounds as time passed, even incorporating trance accents into her sets. Her performances are devoid of compromise, and she prioritizes quality and originality - which makes her an exceptional fit at ANIMA.

Despite her strong onstage personality, Hekato is an introverted soul who expresses her emotions through music, while taking listeners on a deep sonic journey.  

We cannot wait to share her sound with you ~

To celebrate the union, Hekato has recorded podcast #004 for us - Full of her uncompromising sound and relentlessly beautiful spirit.

You can find the podcast link below, and also on Soundcloud. If you want to catch her live, she will be joined by two other ANIMA residents at MUENZE on New Years Even in Berlin, and also a resident showcase at Tresor’s New Faces on Valentine’s day 2024  ~

Welcome to the family, Hekato 💜

“wire, felt, rubber grip. Metals, distortion, vice-obsessed angels. A pathway back, nothing new” – Rabit

Affiliated with the incredible Janus Crew in Berlin  (Lotic, M.E.S.H. Kablam, Dan and Michael) alongside TCF and Total Freedom, without doubt one of the most exciting sounds in club music right now, you just need to see for yourself. Now signed to my fav label Tri Angle, 2015 looks set to be a busy year for Houston based Rabit.

Subjex: Interstellar SFX Demo

Artist: Various Artists
Title: [QR]V.052.GMF.25
Label: @COD3QR
Cat No: QRV052GMF25
Format: Vinyl
Released: 21 February 2025

Track Listing:
A1. Laurent Garnier – "Back Where I Belong (Solaris Mix)"
A2. Tal Fussman – "Waiting"
B1. Loloman – "The Wall (Laurent Garnier ReWork)"
B2. The Lost Souldancer – "No More Voices"

COD3 QR cries "Give Me Four!" for their first vinyl-only release of 2025.

Label helmsman, Laurent Garnier delivers the first cut, setting the standard for "[QR]V.052.GMF.25".  "Back Where I Belong (Solaris Mix)" is a monumental builder.  Laurent once again brings his musical storytelling with layers upon layers of sound and melody alongside infectious beats.

Berlin resident and Survival Tactics label head, Tal Fussman is known for creating music that works in many settings and transcends genres.  Fast becoming a COD3 QR regular having previously provided the deep "10247" for COD3 QR 016 and epic "If I Can" for "[QR]D.158.DWM.24".  This time he returns with the upbeat "Waiting" and a heavy nod to retro soulful House.  

Leading French producer Loloman creates music inspired by his extensive experience on the dancefloor alongside the roots of Detroit techno and Chicago house.  On November's "[QR]D.320.MFS.24" he gave us "The Wall" which has now been masterfully reworked by Garnier.

Benny Rodrigues a.k.a. ROD unveils his new moniker, The Lost Souldancer.  In his own words, Benny says: "The Lost Souldancer is about coping with the loss of what once was.  Finding comfort in the invisible rather than what can be seen.  Disconnect to connect in order to be loved rather than liked."  "No More Voices" brings that feeling alive as a perfect closer to this soul-stirring EP.

GTG Premiere | The Lost Souldancer - No More Voices [QRV052GMF25]

Two years after releasing the acclaimed Crash Recoil, Anthony Child aka Surgeon returns to Tresor with new LP, Shell~Wave. Retaining the minimal equipment list and studio-version-of-live-show-sets approach of the previous album in order to focus on the work itself, Shell~Wave is a deeply personal document of both where Surgeon is and has been, converging three decades of experience with a continued curiosity in the untested.

"To make this project, I had to dig really deep in terms of what my relationship was to techno; I've been involved with it for a really long time and there's a lot about it I feel dislocated from, so I had to really think hard about what techno is to me. I often get asked "what is techno to you?" but I can't answer that with words; this album is the answer."

From the complex, twisting track Infinite Eye to the caustic Soul Fire, the eight tracks that make up the body of the album are single-take explorations of the vast, hard yet minimal techno Child is synonymous with. 

Neatly dividing the record in two, the emotional centre of the record comes in the form of Dying, a vibrating, beatless piece that with a mantra-like vocal loop steeped in reverberating effects.

Further echoes of dub production appear throughout the record as tracks like Divine Shadow, and Empty Cloud have an almost ever-present mist of reverberation, driven by the appearance of a new delay unit in the equipment list; while much of the philosophy of Crash Recoil's creation is present, the process and the instruments have changed as Child again switches up his approach to studio work.

This insistence on trying novel techniques doesn't preclude returning to old ones, as this use of modern digital machines with live, hands-on takes that are as inspired by 60s producer Joe Meek and 70s reggae as they are by this year's synthesiser expos.

"For me, it's an interesting experience returning to old techniques again after 30 years. [I'm] always exploring and finding myself back at the beginning. Connecting the present with the past."

This philosophy of 'time travel' is inherent to the music itself as the synchronised loops repeat while the delay and effects branch out, forming unique eddies; distinct quantum moments within the circular whole; the future leaking through the spaces between the sounds. All of the concepts on the album are perfectly communicated through the painting by Taiwanese artist Jazz Szu-Ying Chen which suggests the movement of water, sound waves, and the chitinous shells of sea creatures.

Diffuse Reality Podcast 256 : The Brvtalist

If one had to describe Kaltblume's music with three words, they would be without hesitation: sharp, bleak and voluptuous.
Deeply rooted in bouncy and intricate rhythmic structures, his productions also tend to explore atypical, richer harmonics and textures.
Behind the booth, his infectious energy reflects the warm, symbiotic atmosphere he continually seeks to create. Thumping tribal drums and groovy sequences meet uncanny, sometimes chaotic musical phrases.
Backed by a host of headliners, Kaltblume is an artist to watch, gradually imposing his style on the underground techno scene.
For this podcast, he’s delivered a powerful set featuring several of his unreleased tracks, offering a glimpse into his evolving sonic universe and what lies ahead.

‘Nightride’ drops May 2nd on [PIAS] Électronique. Get it here: https://adiel.ffm.to/nightride.

“Nightride” is a love letter to Tokyo after dark. It’s inspired by the energy of the city - that mix of neon, motion, and mystery you feel when driving through its streets at night. It’s cinematic but still club-ready - something that captures the rush of freedom, the beauty of solitude, and that adrenaline of getting lost in the city.
Breakbeat percussion lurching, stop/starting, hooks interest, gradually becoming more lively, supporting disparate elements which blend into a contemplative, mysterious soundscape –pulsating chords, melodic phrases, distant voices in snatches of conversation, high synth note strings, and muffled, distorted wumps. The breakdown brings a clear, sweet vocal to the fore, singing ‘Close your eyes, take you through the night’. More melodic, emotional, evocative and less
strenuously techno than her signature sound, a chance to breathe during a long night’s clubbing or for intent solo listening.
