I only show my face at raves.

If you saw me at a rave... it’d be quite obvious I'm a black producer, I'm not hiding that from the world. Right now, I don’t want to show myself to the industry, on socials or anywhere else, but at a rave we’re together, we’re equal and I will give you all of me.

Originally from East London, now based in Belfast, GHSTGHSTGHST has over 12,000 hours of resident DJing under his belt.

After seeing Funk Butcher’s Blackout features for Mixmag in 2020, GHSTGHSTGHST felt confident enough to switch from being a bass music producer and was inspired to create a unique blend of housey, rave, jungle and trance influenced Techno.

‘Spread Love’ was Rinse FM’s track of July, played by DJ Paulette on BBC 6 and dropped at Boomtown 2022 by Emerald and is regularly supported live by Viviana Casanova.

Having enjoyed strong radio support from Jaguar (Radio 1 Dance), Ben Malone (Kiss FM), Triple J (AUS), 5FM (SA), his music is finding itself in the hands of the UKs top DJs and producers.

“I was sample digging and stumbled across some royalty free acapellas of preachers preaching. I knew I couldn’t go full out rave, I wanted a bubbler. Something that keeps the groove going and showcases the vocal”.

PREMIERE: Ghstghstghst -Spread Love (Extended Mix) (Another Rhythm)

À l’aube de la sortie de son nouvel album ‘Les Délivrés’, prolongement de sa bande-son illustrant ce poignant documentaire sur la lutte des coursiers à vélos des grandes plateformes, Maxime Dangles dévoile ‘Matin Bleu’.

Entré par la grande porte des musique électroniques il y a 15 ans sur le label Kompakt, collectionnant les remixes de prestige (Moby, Green Velvet, Simian Mobile Disco, Kittin & The Hacker…), Maxime Dangles est une référence de la scène électronique internationale, réputé pour son sound design immersif et singulier qu’il façonne avec ses synthés modulaires. Mais depuis 4 ans, Maxime Dangles a ralenti les dates en club pour se consacrer à ce type de création, à la spatialisation du son, dans des lieux comme la référence en la matière la SAT de Montreal et au projet arts et sciences SONARS aux côtés des chercheurs du CNRS qui l’embarquent au coeur de leurs recherches sur les îles de Saint-Pierre et Micquelon.

Nourri des sentiments des protagonistes du documentaire tels que la lutte, la colère, le stress, l’aliénation ou l’espoir, Maxime Dangles signe ici une bande-son militante qui prolonge le combat des Délivrés de manière poétique entre IDM, electronica et ambient. Avec ‘Matin Bleu’, ce sont ici l’espoir et le rêve d’une vie meilleure qui sont traduits avec ce morceau électronica contemplatif et mélancolique mélangeant des notes de piano délicates et sensibles à son modulaire si singulier qui a fait sa marque de fabrique. Un crossover de musique électronique et contemporaine qui rappelle les dernières compositions de Yann Tiersen. 

L’album ‘Les Délivrés’ sera disponible en vinyle et digital le 17 février sur Lifeguards - nouveau sous label d’Astropolis Records, et Maxime Dangles présentera en avant-première son nouveau live sur Astropolis l’Hiver le samedi 11 février accompagné d’une création vidéo inspirée par le documentaire et orchestrée par Dylan Cote du collectif OYE, avec qui Maxime Dangles a déjà collaboré à la prestigieuse SAT de Montréal.

Maxime Dangles - Les Délivrés LP

Lost In Ether | P R E M I E R E |  Maxime Dangles - Operate [Lifeguards]

scápescást resident mix | Heykonon

The reissue of classic and seminal releases from the Tresor catalogue comes round to Waveform Transmission Vol. 2 by "The Vision" aka Robert Hood which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. 

Released in the same year he left UR and his hometown of Detroit, Waveform Transmission Vol. 2 represents a pivotal moment in Hood's career as his move to New York with fellow UR co-founder Jeff Mills led to Hood experimenting with a new work ethos through which he settled on his trademark sound. 

Fast, aurally assaulting, yet funky - the release is techno as effective as it can possibly be; in this version, remastered by Thomas P. Heckmann, we see the first results of his transmutation as Hood manipulates the raw sounds he would soon distil into seminal works like Internal Empire and Minimal Nation. 

Ever philosophical and spiritual, in the sleeve notes for the release Hood dedicated the release "to the form of simplicity[,] the reasoning of vision[,] the understanding of where we came from and how we got here and to the perspective we use to construct over destiny" - words which from our early 2020s vantage point almost foresee the influence this intuitive work would have on artists working from Birmingham to Berlin and beyond over the next three decades.

.defaultbox is back with the well done EP „Rise“ by label head Patrick himself under his new alias 10.000 BC. The EP is breaking boundaries and forming connections between ambient and timeless dub techno grooves. The EP opens with „7am“ which is an interplay of nature sounds, warm pads and breakbeats. „2pm“ is a colorful and warm journey into deep space. The EP closes with „3am“ which shows the tension between the organic warmth and uplifting energy of a dance floor track, followed by a heavy and thundery remix by the very talented Portuguese DJ and producer Robert Hoff.
