Quadrata [What Robot Says]

Today we want to share »Hauki«, the new mini-album by @sasse_blackheadstudios, with you. Finland's secret weapon in Berlin makes indeed a »Vorstoss In Die Tiefe« aka »foray into the depths« as the opener indicates. A foray to where the »Hauki« lives and catches his prey - what a lovely yet dangerous tune. »Book Of Alex« is more on the dreamy side of house music whereas »Manhattan« evokes car rides through a rainy New York night. But it doesn't take long until the »Sunrise In Mellenhof« - a very trippy sunrise that is. But Sasse wouldn't be Sasse if he wouldn't be able to throw in a downbeat tune like »JP-4« to surprise you, the loyal listener. Now all you gotta do is listen. Listen deep.

Music flows like a river. It finds its path, connects places, people and stories. This is how Late Night Swim was born, on the banks of the Elbe where Wareika shaped their rhythms. Three alchemists of sound who weave jazz, dub and house into a current that makes the invisible tangible.
The journey flows to the Seine, where dOP joins with voice and words. Two rivers, two cities, five artists creating one sound. Late Night Swim is a dive between dream and reality, music that moves across borders and turns friendship into sound.

Every river has its tributaries, and so three remixes carry the stream into new directions.
Lee Curtiss rises from Detroit with playful and sensual sound. As a founding force of Visionquest he has shaped the electronic landscape with releases on Spectral, Get Physical and Wolf and Lamb. His remixes move with charm and wit, seductive currents that invite and surprise.
Crihan, born in Transylvania and refined in Bucharest, has carved his path since 2004. With more than sixty vinyl releases under names such as Crihan, Discret Popescu and Modest Ionescu, he is known for subtle experimentation and hypnotic precision. His remix unfolds like a river delta, intricate, layered and always in motion.
From Jena come HCHx, four sonic travelers shaped by the Saale as it flows into the Elbe. Their music moves between house and experimental textures, both driving and ethereal, carried by contrasts of pulse and reflection, light and shadow. Their remix is waves that rise and return until they merge into one vast current where time and space dissolve.
And just as every river finally meets the sea, this release finds its way to the North, where all waters join and become one. Late Night Swim is not only a track, it is a journey. A stream to let yourself fall into.

Late Night Swim (Crihan Remix)

Wareika & dOP - Late Night Swim (Crihan Remix)

„Tutto passa, ma nulla si perde.“

Few sentences capture the essence of Italian-Venezuelan artist Ricardo Baez better than this. Born and raised in Florence, he has become one of the most compelling bridges between club culture, emotion, and identity. With his debut album Tutto Passa, Ricardo distilled his musical and personal journey into a work that is at once introspective, universal, and profoundly human.
Baez’s story begins in a family where music was never secondary: his Italian father, a collector of old blues and jazz records, and his Venezuelan mother, who accompanied dance classes with 1980s pop cassettes. This blend of melancholy, rhythm, and nostalgia forms the DNA of his sound. Yet for Baez, music is never an archive – it is movement.

This ethos runs like a red thread through his work. As a DJ, producer, and founder of the legendary Florentine party series Tropical Animals (since 2010), he stands for openness, curiosity, and a sound that blurs boundaries.

Ricardo Baez exemplifies a generation of artists who see music as a mirror of inner motion. He moves between studio and dancefloor, Florence and Berlin, emotion and structure – always searching for what remains when everything changes.

His new release, LTMP / Some Days Are Suspicious, continues this exploration. Staying true to the themes of his musical DNA, Baez fuses influences from breakbeat, house, and deep house into a layered, meticulously arranged work. Nothing is accidental – every sound is deliberate, every layer tells a story. Once again, Ricardo Baez demonstrates that change is not a contradiction, but the driving force behind true creativity.

The visual identity of LTMP / Some Days Are Suspicious was created by Konstantin Fürchtegott Kipfmüller, a visual artist studying at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Offenbach under Heiner Blum. His practice centers on subtractive painting—a process in which color is not applied, but removed. By scraping away layers of monochrome pigment, Kipfmüller reveals unexpected spatial dimensions and textures beneath the surface. Deeply influenced by the urban environment, his work transforms traces of decay, weather, and time into abstract visual narratives. The cover thus mirrors Baez’s own musical exploration: both uncover hidden layers, both search for meaning in what remains.
