Lisbon's Paraíso bring their A&R a-game once again with a stellar EP by one of the city's most beloved techno DJs - @vilmusic - and a chef's kiss remix by the one and only queen of twisted dance, @ednd from Algarve.

VIL effortlessly strikes a balance between his seasoned raver's effective ammunition approach and his penchant for freshness that has accompanied him since his early days as a dubstep DJ. Concise elegance and banging inventiveness meet in the opener Rotari, as the A2 follows with detroitian levels of class and relentlessness, all ecstatic hats, warm stabs and beautiful percussion. Ghet09 closes the A side with tom-filled jack-infused beats and smooth keys with an instant-classic quality, all offset by eerie pads cause it's techno we're gladly witnessing after all.

Anjos, the new Birmingham brings in-your-face energy in the tight drum programming and a dash of trippy, quasi-dubby melodic elements in an ode to Lisbon's tentative premier techno neighbourhood Anjos.

Deranged yet loved-up, the B2 is a perfect peak-time dreamy mood-setter - proving we're in the hands of a skilled emotion-to-dance translator. The record closes with a stellar remix by one of Portugal's innovators, EDND herself, who drowns the opening track in mysterious waters and adds beautiful melodic elements, perfect for that much-appreciated deep dive moment on the dancefloor. There's a wonderful digi bonus for the heads, where oneiric pads are punctuated by vocal chops from a very familiar classic.

The Man Who Waved at Trains w/ O'Riordan - 6th February 2025

@intertwined-recordings, a brand-new project by one of the team behind Extract The Motion, bursts into Bandcamp with a single by Naarm/Melbourne's own DJ Life. Its mission is to explore the relationship between sound, flavour and art, focusing on a love for wine.

Outside of its extensive tasting videos with producers, Intertwined has demonstrated a penchant for a taste of a whole other flavour, not so coincidentally releasing DJ Life's single on 4/20.

Of the track, Intertwined shared that " Weedwhacker reveals a hidden side to DJ Life’s musical vernacular, exploring a more emotive soundscape that takes influence from 90’s tech house and ital disco. 

Plush, dense, and textural, every layer moves with weight and grace, wrapping the listener in velvety grooves. Nostalgic and transportive this song is a slow burn that rewards patience with pure dancefloor bliss."

'Weedwhacker' releases via Intertwined's Bandcamp on Sunday, April 20.

NTS Radio ~ GiGi FM ~ Production Mix 21.05.2025

A special mix made for a now-defunct record label as a promotional tool for a release by the one and only @CarlFinlow

In 2017, Carl spent a good part of the year doing research and recovering many of his tracks produced in the 90s. The idea behind the process was to rescue his music from possible oblivion, stuck as they were in a dying computer language, buried on CDs and DVDs. During that time he reworked his favorite tracks and the result is what you can hear in four of the six vinyl records included in this project called 'MIDI Archeology'.
