PREMIERE: Cyphon - Pariah

London-based sound mangler & audio-artist extraordinaire Rico Casazza drops his first EP for Insult To Injury, the Ransom Note Records sub-label run by Timothy Clerkin.

Drawing influence from the 80's Electro scene, early UK Jungle and the darker realms of Dub Techno - 'Atompunk' is as evocative as it is full of lazer-sighted purpose.

Techno meets D&B genius, Eusebeia then takes the reins for the 'Atompunk' remix, dishing up a menacing hardcore and jungle-tinged, breakbeat assault.

PREMIERE : Rico Casazza - Atompunk

Unveiled

Dive into a warm bath of dreamy ambient and hypnotizing club-ready synth patterns with Modo Mero’s debut EP ‘Bits and Pieces’. With his cloudy harmonies, long melodic lines, and rich grainy textures the Dutch-born producer and live performer creates an electronic nebula of musical bliss and compelling compositions.

Throughout the past year, Bits and Pieces was created in Modo Mero’s hometown in the countryside where he spent a lot of time experimenting with recorded sounds and created soundscapes inspired by the peace and quietness of his surroundings. The record therefore came to life in a playful way by gathering little ‘bits and pieces’ of these sessions and gluing them together as a whole. It displays glimpses of synthetic landscapes, leaving us in a dreamy world of atmospheres, all with a sense of kindness and warmth.

Celebrating the extensive history of electronic music while still exploring the limitless means of modern music production, Modo Mero is mastering the illustrious art of merging, fusing, and blending styles and sound. Whether you are floating in a nightclub or staring out the window on a late bus ride home, there is always a time and place to listen, drift away and letting your mind conjure up a story of your own.

The exciting russian based artist Svetiritm (aka Sveta Pavlova) takes the reins for our Weloficast series with a deeply meditative and pulsatile atmospheric mix. 
Weloficast 138 is a dreamy trip through the multicoloured night сity. Shadows entwined, moving rhythmically through the streets with sublime cascade of emotion, spiralling and heartfelt feelings that washes over the listener like swathes of warm ocean breath.

We welcome back Michelle Sparks for another EP on Tronic. This time Michelle delivered two hypnotic, minimal groovers that are made for dark warehouse raves! We recruited Chicago Loop for remix duties. His version of Mindweave adds an immersive synth sequence and a groove that reminds us of the late 90s. Great Package!

The Tallinn-based artist & DJ, Hugo Mesi a.k.a. Killerkat, whose production - what can also be translated into his sets - is a chaotic groove of dancefloor energy. 

While the BPM can vary from medium to high, comprised with elements from various genres & decades - one constant stays always the same - it is the spiritness of kittens & honey.
