The Heath

According To Jacqueline

Think Aphex’s Didgeridoo meeting Pearson Sound late at night, down a dark alley with the streetlights pulsing away, creating a ball of confusion and pent up energy.

Midnight Traffic – Free Fall, a release independent and wild,  Dancing zebras in the sky, they were so beguiled,
Twinkling stars as DJ’s, the moon’s face all smiled, In this cosmic party, where every creature styled.

Giraffes in disco pants, penguins moonwalked with style, Hippos spun like tops, it was worth every mile,
Midnight Traffic’s tunes made the animals go mild, In this topsy-turvy world, where nonsense was compiled.

Elephants did the cha-cha, and kangaroos freestyle, Lions roared in rhythm, their manes in a pile,
Midnight Traffic’s magic, it went on for a while, In this wacky wonderland, where joy was versatile!

PREMIERE: Midnight Traffic - Free Fall [Independant Release]

We're glad to share the second iteration of our 'Loopcast’ series, in which we'll be spotlighting talented artists, both emerging and more established, whose universe and sounds we're particularly fond of.

It's now time for Sinesthesia and Anderson 1000, two rising french talents, to take you on a captivating musical journey by merging their respective styles.

Co-founder and full-time artist of the Les Patates Braves collective, which is currently turning every club upside down, Anderson 1000 has more than one trick up his sleeve. From breakbeat to electro, through techno and even ghetto tech, he is an artist who loves mixing genres to deliver extraordinary performances.

Here, he shares the booth with Sinesthesia, who skillfully merges enchanting grooves and psychedelic sounds to offer a musical experience that transcends conventions. Inspired by nature and the mystical, he weaves a soundtrack where his multiple influences blend harmoniously, between 2000s hardgroove, trance, and hypnotic techno.

Brunson’s ‘Intimacy Between Friends’ EP on Rekids Special Projects kicks off with 'Aminal'. Originally discovered via a 2017 BBC Radio 1 interview between Benji B and Underground Resistance co-founder Mike Banks, ‘Aminal’ was played on the show and subsequently sought out by Matt Edwards for release on RSPX in 2024 as part of the ‘Intimacy Between Friends’ EP.

‘Aminal’ by Brunson is a ten-minute odyssey into atmospheric deep techno. Wiggling acidic synth motifs and warm, radiant pads bring the soul to a tight groove, constantly evolving and allowing you to sink ever deeper into majestic chords which wash over you like rays of sunlight. Brunson’s 'My Friend Ryan' is another classic Detroit sound with machine warmth and energetic drum programming, which all work together to make you move your body while your heart is enriched by its vibrant soundscape. The wonderful 'Surf Break' is up last, built on a slick electro rhythm with booming kicks and more standout chords across the backdrop to bring a grand sense of scale and meaning to the groove.

Brunson released his first EP in 2023 via Berlin’s Tresor Recordings but has been active for a number of years before this as a Midwest American and Motor City producer while being the VJ behind Juan Atkins’ Model 500 shows. He now releases the ‘Intimacy Between Friends’ on Radio Slave’s Rekids Special Projects, already supported by artists such as Luke Slater, Laurent Garnier, and Jerome Sydenham.
