[EN] Sayko & Afterlife aka Razcals are an ambitious duo of DJs from Brno. Sayko is a true legend among Czech Drum & Bass DJs, one of the longest playing CZ dnb DJs, a remixer and a music producer. Afterlife (formerly known as Yardel) is a DJ from Brno’s Pohon crew. More than that, Afterlife is a talented producer, who tirelessly works on his already unique dark and heavy sound. The combination of Sayko’s experience and Afterlife’s production talent brings a refreshing new view on the current Drum & Bass scene. Razcals themselves call their music “Neurotech”, which could be best described as a blend of techstep with a little bit of neurofunk, amen break and heavy rolling bass. Simply put, in today’s climate of overtly digital neurofunk tracks this duo creates genuine music with soul. Razcals have already managed to secure a couple of official releases on labels like Deafmuted rec.,Close 2 Death Rec., Brain network rec., Sunside rec., Darktide rec., Blast Furnace rec. Also, they continuously publish their work on Bandcamp.

[CZ] Sayko & Afterlife aka Razcals je dvojka brněnských DJs se světovými ambicemi. Sayko je legenda českého Drum & Bassu, jeden z nejdéle hrajících dnb DJ's v ČR, remixér a hudební producent. Afterlife (dříve znám jako Yardel) je DJ a především nadějný producent z brněnské Pohon crew, který svůj unikátní zvuk nepřestává pilovat k dokonalosti. Kombinace léty prověřeného zvuku Sayka a rozlámaných basových linek Afterlifa přináší na scénu nový pohled na Drum & Bass. Svým trackům Razcals říkají “neurotech”, který si lze nejlépe představit jako techstep se špetkou neurofunku, sem tam nějakým amenem a hlavně rollovaci basou. Hoši zkrátka umí tvořit tracky s duší, což se v dnešní  přetechnizované době plechových digitracků určitě nedá říct o každém. Na kontě už pár oficiálních releasů hoši mají, konkrétně na labelech Deafmuted rec.,Close 2 Death rec., Brain network rec., Sunside rec., Darktide rec., Blast Furnace rec. a také na jejich vlastní značce na Razcals Bandcampu.

27 yo DJ and producer since 2022 from Czech Republic. 

I like electro music from my childhood. 
My sister Andrea was listening The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers and other electro music in millennium, so I think she is a big apart of that all.
I really loved this dancing vibes, this regular magic rhytm. You listen some PC sounds, but although it doesn't exists, it makes You feel some feelings and imagination. It's abstract art.
 
I started with mixing in Virtual Dj when I was 18 years old, it was when year 2017 started. 
I remember these times, when I was really excited makin' mixes with computer mouse and 4 deck in Virtual Dj, haha. 
During time in this year, my friend Daryl borrowed me basic Hercules Dj console and I had finally first hardware for mixing to use and I started with recording my first mixes. 
In same time I downloaded demo version FL studio 9 and when I opened this program, my first though was: WTF, is that aircraft dashboard??? Okay, where to start?
During time, I was making mixes on Hercules console with my friend Daryl and in the end of year 2018 I bought my first control Silvercrest console from my friend Radek. I was happy, that I had my first hardware for mixing and I spent lot of time with that. It was lot of training and trying what to do with that. In this season with my friend Daryl we we're playing in The ,,Machine club'' in Mohelnice few times and in our friend's Jindra's wood cabin or somewhere out at nice places with laptop, console and speaker just for fun. Nice days.
I was workin' in England and in year 2021 I bought my first control, Traktor S2 Mk3 from one guy. I was really happy.
In year 2022 we started mix with my friend Daryl in ,,Klub ve zdi'' in Zábřeh with help of our friend Dave 87. 
Till this time, I was trying to make some basic beats in FL Studio and one day in November I decided, that I want make my first track. 
First December 2022 I upload my first tune called ,,Horizon''.

At the beginning of 2023, I went to work to Holland, where I bought a ReMOTE Compact sampler for 10€ from a bazaar in Sneek and it still helps me in my work. By time I also got a drumpad from Akai and I use the keys, which I use for "covers'' too.

Today I'm still producing tracks and uploading to SoundCloud and to Youtube. 
The more I know, the less I know, but I love this progress and it makes me happy more and more. 
I still do mix too and I share my mixes to Mixcloud and mixes with video to YouTube. This hobby is really big apart of my life and I want keep goin' in this way. 
I'm into bass, deep and dark styles, DNB, Dubstep, Deep House, etc. but I love exploring new stuff and new genres and trying still for something new, in mixing and in production too. I don't have abroads in that. My plan right now is to buy vinyls with mix and to start mixing traditionally from LP's.

I am glad for every feedback or for every support 🤙 
So enjoy and have a fine listening 🎧
