univers sonore très personnel, très attirant

LT is perhaps the most underrated producer out there right now. Releases on the likes of Rhythm Section and X-Kalay have cemented his place.

His music is deep and emotive, drawing upon influences from Techno, Hardgroove and IDM. It always carries a deeply pensive and euphoric undercurrent which plays out delicately on the dancefloor and makes for as much a listen as it does for a dance.

LT retains a low profile, lets the music very much do the talking and in this day and age, thats admirable.

This mix demonstrates a deep rooted understanding of electronic music, weaving between textures and tones to create a beautiful journey which encapsulates the listener in a fast paced world of dreamy soundscapes.

Dubbed out and hyped up.

LT: The Ransom Note Mix

For Animalia’s 11th release, Animalia welcomes Ukrainian producer Volodymyr Gnatenko (@gnatenko) with his EP AbiaA. 

Known for his progressive, trance-tinged releases and live sets, AabiA builds on Gnatenko’s lush soundscaping with five new tracks, including a remix of fellow Ukrainian producer Shjva’s Usu and an additional digital sixth bonus track with Ilya Semaskevich. Deep, atmospheric and emotional, the EP spans dreamy synth lines meshed with breaks, both rolling and downtempo. I first encountered Volodymyr’s sound at a party in Berlin last April, where he played a transformative live set that stayed with me long after. AbiaA perfectly reflects what resonated with me then and still - the entrancing and immersive world he conceives is a rare skill in electronic music, but one I endlessly seek. 

Limited edition CD version available. 

Animalia would like to acknowledge that whilst all tracks were produced in Europe, the label itself operates on the traditional land of the Woiwurrung & Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nation, and pay respect to their elders past, and present. Sovereignty was never ceded.

b1. Planet Lonely
b2. Queen Of Demons

Making his Dekmantel debut with a flourish of symphonic, transcendental techno, Sepehr takes us into a fictional metaphysical zone he calls the Genesis Domain.

Over the past 10 years NYC-based Sepehr Alimagham’s versatile club music practice has taken in techno, D&B, electro, EBM and acid on a suite of scene-leading labels. This new EP builds on the pseudo-spirituality he explored on recent LP Fall From Grace with an exploration of an imagined space “where your reality can be reinvented at any given moment.”

On the A side, the title track sets the pace with a throbbing, sparkling-yet-spooky trip that allows a touch of trance into the mix, while ‘Delicate Senses’ explores snappier broken beat rhythms and edgy atmospherics with a distinctly moody outlook.

The mystical electro shades of ‘Twisted Solstice’ and ‘Planet Lonely’s melancholic 4/4 pastures strike a note between contemplative introspection and anthemic main stage energy. ‘Queen Of Demons’ is the consummate EP closer, leaning on brooding low end and snaking, intricate beats with a healthy dose of shimmering beauty up top.

Consistent with his versatile approach since day one, Sepehr proves any blend of tempos and rhythms can be folded into his vivid, evocative sound world — the results will always draw you in close until his vision becomes yours.

With releases on the likes of L.I.E.S, Aperitif de la Mort and Basement Floor, Chupacabras' sound is rough and ready Electro and Techno and the mix takes shape in a similar ilk — fierce and unwavering, packed with crunched out house, heavy acid and enough power to keep you moving for the whole hour. Get stuck in.

DUMMY MIX 019: Chupacabras

Slammin in at no. #9 in our illustrious mix series this week is none other than the reluctant but rightfully crowned king of Long Island, Ron Morelli.
   Perfectly rendering a feverish club kid’s ultimate cityscape in sound, Ron presses the old n new up against each other as a relentless 4-4 jackin beat creeps underneath. It’s riding the subway with your friends at 1am; it’s feeling faded in the back of a taxi screaming down 2nd ave; it’s pounding the club walls with your fists as sweat drips down your face - DON'T HOLD BACK!

53rd from Hewan Aman 👣

We were first introduced to Hewan Aman a while back when friends were inviting her to play at their parties and feature on their radio shows. 

Our ears perked up as soon as we heard Hewan effortlessly glide between techno, prog and psy influenced tunes, and it's been a treat watching from the sidelines as she has continued to hone her craft. 

Now regulalry getting booked at some of the coolest parties in Europe and holding down a residency at Rinse, we were chuffed when Hewan let us know she was keen put some time aside to record us a mix.

Slammers await - get listening 🧌

People & Places 053: Hewan Aman

*This has been in the pipe-line for a while.* We tweaked and fine-tuned, and now the result is here for the world to listen to. A beautiful and personal 4 track EP that’s not from this planet. For this release *Lnrdcroy* delivered tracks that fit to the early and mid 90’s techno aesthetic and that tradition of pushing bounderies and finding inspiration in the new and unknown, doing things that haven’t been done before. Quite hard in 2024, but this one didn’t settle for less and has a unique blend of advanced rhythm programming and outerworld melodies.

Unio Mystica:
Absorbed from my room onto a triangle ship, by an alien wearing blue scaled bio-armour, to travel instantaneously across vast folds of time & space. The alien occupied the pinnacle of the triangle, the other two points by myself and an unknown human female, respectively. The ship, at least for this type of journey, was powered by harnessing the coalescent, universal force of LOVE. This truly hierogamic union acted as a sort of inter-dimensional transcendence driver, which allowed us the defeat of all material boundary and therefore, time itself.

It was a keen insight into the ultimate conciliation: that love permeates and binds together an otherwise cold and hostile universe. 

And perhaps it was not an ''alien'' but an angel. Angels are traditionally understood to be preternaturally photonic (of a type), lacking physical densification, and which manifest themselves as various imaginal forms in the human psyche...

What is known: the starship is ours; a portal of two souls combined.
