A collection of unreleased TFR music from the vaults

Long known for their killer releases on labels like Skam and Blueprint Records, this mix they've dubbed Ratio Sound Trials sees James Ruskin and Mark Broom collecting all sorts of fragments, sketches, and loops from the last few years that never bloomed into a coherent hour of head-spinning productions. Side A sees the first 30 minutes filled with intoxicating head-nod sonics, edging closer towards the skuffed hip hop beat tapes of the late 90s, flipping samples and wildstyle vocal cuts over programmed drum loops. On the flip the anti is upped with an increase in torque and tension over the following half hour, exploring the monolithic dystopian sound design they have mastered over the years, flitting between techno and electro influences with constantly shifting, tense rhythms. The Fear Ratio claim the material on these transmissions won’t be heard again, so listen in and grab one of the limited run cassettes while they’re still around.

so lucky to have had @lynne-tokyo on my netil show this month <3

I met Lynne in the summer of 2021 at our first party back after covid - it was a really special experience to share :)

Since then, each time I've seen Lynne play I've been totally blown away by her sets - she has the best selection of DnB of anyone I know. For this show, she took us on an incredible trip through some of her favourite dubstep - I had the best time dancing in the netil booth - hope you enjoy!!

This is Duck Trash’s set from Tomorrow’s Fires, a party celebrating the release of Erika’s “Anevite Void” album on February 25, 2023. Mix theme: After getting abducted by aliens, one must learn how to adapt & grow plants on an unfamiliar planet in outer space.

It’s hard to overstate the transformative power of the American Underground. Things get lost when it’s just a systematic big business, all these special things that make the core essence so powerful and palpable. IT first encountered @ducktrash when BMG played for them in Indianapolis last September with Noncompliant at this exquisite dive bar called State Street Club with the most open minded crowd. It wasn’t what it looked like, it really transcended time and space. “Duck Trash is a queer techno & electro selector who believes in the healing power of the dance floor.” We couldn’t agree more, and we’re so glad they got to do their Detroit debut at Erika’s album release party. They are part of the fabric that makes the midwest so amazing, the true underground freaks.

New Show alert 💕 Lost Soul Enterprises w. Heidi Sabertooth & Sweater on Polo. Dispatches from the NYC underground: left field electronics, raw live cuts, unreleased gems and other oddities selected by the Lost Soul Enterprises crew and extended family, this week featuring Heidi Sabertooth and Sweater on Polo. NYC-based singer, multi-instrumentalist, DJ and producer Heidi Sabertooth has a serious love for hardware. She's been creating her unique brand of grit-laced drum loops and vintage acid machine music since 2012, pushing out beautiful noise, from the delicate to the jarring. Her highly lauded live hardware performances and vinyl-heavy dj sets have cemented her own place among NYC’s techno community and beyond. Sweater On Polo’s music foregrounds the hardware, with a livewire, straight-out-the-box energy that cannot be denied. As both a live artist and DJ, he’s going in on a tight, Chicago-informed approach. But this is no retro trip; Sweater on Polo incorporates his influences and makes them his own.

For mix number 18 in the PPRZ Podcast series, we have a mix from Chicago's @makeensound

Chicago based producer and DJ Makeen is focused on groovy textural techno
with a dark edge. He co-organizes the party series Research & Development
with J.S. Alvarez and founded the parties Spent and Near Dark.

His electronic music obsession began when he started performing live sets
on tables full of gear. With an interest in sound design and synthesis, Makeen
spent the early part of his artistic life composing and performing
experimental music more focused on acoustic instruments. The latest leg of
his journey has brought him back to electronic music with an elevated
passion for dance floor-focused beats.

Mix Description:
I decided to take a playful approach to this mix— playing some lighter and
groovier tracks with an emphasis on trippy sounds and atmospheres. This
mix was recorded with 3 x CDJs and an Allen & Heath Xone 92 mixer. The
focus was on long continuous blends, while shifting between new and
unexpected sonic worlds.

Tracklist:
Oktobr - Sleepdancer
Dj Hyperactive & Jason Patrick - Harrier Env (Original Mix)
BLANKA - Howl
Atonism - Back And Forth
