Mika Regards /Arkada podcast 042

Sixth chapter of Explora show on Threads Radio hosting another very special guest: Lostsoundbytes.
Bén Leray aka Lostsoundbytes is a Brussels based producer, head of the amazing label Vastechoses.
In his live performances he develops an haptic sound swinging between industrial sequences, rusty 808 patterns and aggressive basslines, coming straight from a gloomy dark alley.
His contribution is a dark and introspective mix of monolithic industrial rhythms, future trap, dubstep, jungle, experimental beats featuring stunning music from AIR LQD, JK Flesh, Torn Relics, Trisicloplox & Sectra and more.

Explora.06 w/ Franco Fonato + Lostsoundbytes - Sep '21 @Threads Radio

030303 co-founder Freek Fabricius made this record in honour of his friend Floris Bovée who passed away early in 2020. For the EP, Freek took some of Floris’ musical ideas and reworked them - together with samples of Floris’ voice - into four excellent mid-tempo tracks for the emotional dance floor. Expect dense and organic harmonies on this record, which really feels like a mini album and is among some of the most heartfelt and poetic electronic music we have come across as of late. 

Artiest: Freek Fabricius
Titel: Zweven is Leven

Jan Hacke - Electro Minimix - 20.08.2022

Belgian label Dance Mekanik presents the first EP, a compilation of DM artists. Dance Mekanik honors the past with a bright eye for the future. Artists get carte blanche at DM. Jetz wollen wir tanzen mekanik.

Aether:
Dance Mekanik head honcho surprises with syncopated rhythms and moody melodies (early 90s Autechre comes to mind) with a menacing guitarline on top. Halfway the track folds open with melancholic strings which come together with the guitar motif. Bam! great opening track..

The Revolving Eyes:
Aka Rob&Zoopsie. Cold electro mellowed with smooth minimalwave synth lines. 80s meets 90s or Psyche meets Drexciya!? I can see this functioning as the opening or closing credits of a long forgotten tv show.

ЯTRA:
More new school than previous one this starts also pretty electro-influenced with almost psychedelic sweeping synths before a beautiful sample sets in which leads the track into a more (middle) eastern industrial feel.

DRVG CVLTVRE:
Vincent Koreman or Ra-x on downers. Distorted, gritty thumping track with mysterious undertones. Great! For nightly parties in abandoned warehouses

Tracklist:
1. Aether - The End of Eternity 07:12
2. The Revolving Eyes - Mecano Phonk (eq1) 04:39
3. ЯTRA - Meotida 04:53
4. DRVG CVLTVRE - Final Scream 05:40

The Consumer - We Combine

Grauzone Special radio show at @operator-radio in anticipation of Grauzone Festival 2019. 
Recorded on the 6th of Feb '19
web/info: https://www.grauzonefestival.nl/

Grauzone Special x Operator w/ Pasiphae

The Transhumanism collective was born on the dance-floor at Dave Clarke's first Whip It party at the Melkweg in Amsterdam. This is the fourth vinyl release on Bass Agenda Recordings that features the four Dutch Electro artists w1b0, RXmode, Slaves of Sinus, and TFHats.

The releases to date have had ongoing support from many key DJs who support the authentic Electro scene - Dave Clarke, UMEK, Helena Hauff, DJ Stingray, Maceo Plex, and Alienata to name but a few. Juan Atkins and Helena Hauff were still dropping w1b0's track from the first release this Summer (2019) at various festivals. It's no surprise that the first in the series has just been repressed, and now, the third in the series keeps the pressure up with 4 brand new tracks. As always, the brief here was simple - "be yourself and do your best to kill it".

All four artists have risen to the occasion - maintaining the fundamentals of their individual sounds, evolving a little in some parts, and bringing a compilation with something for every discerning DJ with an ear for cutting edge Electro.

Format: Vinyl and Digital

Sneaker - The Beat Poet EP

Label: From The Vaults
Cat.-no.: FTVR07
Distributed by: Chat Noir, Paris, France

Tracklist:
A1 Sneaker feat. @Jacob-Korn - Beat Goes On
A2 Sneaker - Dr. Rhythm
B1 Sneaker feat. DJ Smiley (@planet-underground) - Wild Pitch
B2 Sneaker - Feedback

Credits:
Instruments:
Yocto Rhythm Composer, Boss Dr. Rhythm DR-660,
Rhythm Composer 808 (built by Jacob Korn), xOxbOx.

Design by JenZi.

Sneaker wants to thank JenZi, Jacob Korn, DJ Smiley, Klingberg, Kosmik
and Sane for her everlasting support!

F.T.V. Rec. is a label run by @jen_zi, based in Baden, Switzerland dedicated to
dirty beats ranging from classic house to hip-hop.
Sneaker is DJing since 25 years. Nuff said.



The Beat Poet is dropping 4 cuts of lyrical patterns and mad wizardry on
JenZi's 'From The Vaults' label. Following Sneaker's EP's of 'Meet The Heat' and
'Rhythm Composer', we have here another exercise in drum programming
and syncopated rhythms. Groove and acid. Drama, culmination and relief.
'Beat Goes On' is an 808+303 jam with long-term collaborator and solder-king
Jacob Korn. Sneaker gave the message a voice - with a classic acappella
from the Orbit.
Exploiting the classic Dancemania drum machine, 'Dr. Rhythm' dazzles you
with a doubletime kick, triplet toms, tropical cuíca screams and scratches -
and when you just begin to find yourself again, it slaps your red cheeks with
more whipping snares.
'Wild Pitch' is again an 808+303 jam – this time with Dresden's old school
legend DJ Smiley. The track pays tribute to and re-interprets DJ Pierre's Wild
Pitch sound from NYC's Strictly Rhythm period.
The closing track 'Feedback' switches TEE-styled Latin rhythm box variations
while layering a feedback progression ranging from subwoofer lo's to ear
piercing hi's. Flip it over! Feed it back again!
