is that samurai jack coming out to play again?

welcome to the world of london & lagos-based producer and visual artist emænuel. for the edition no. 230, emænuel showcases his expansive output with an all production mix that starts with a dark and smokey energy before the veil lifts into a swampier yet lighter mood. the running theme throughout is that these tracks are drawn from soundsystem culture and channel the powerful energy of low end frequencies. 

emænuel’s production debut was a self-released project, ‘tatu’, that leaned more into ambient soundscapes. that was shortly followed by a release on the much-loved imprint all centre with the ‘contact 7’ two-tracker, tapping more into glitchy, loopy low energy yet club-ready tracks. since then, emænuel has appeared on glasgow’s redstone press with ‘salt heart’ single contribution and the full ep ‘salt’ featuring a kelman duran remix, who’s label - scorpio red - he released on in early 2023. along with producing two soundtracks for lagos space programme,  emænuel is a visual artist who’s work taps into a similar realm as his compositions, an constant exploration of textures and narratives that bring different shards of genres together. in the interview below emænuel says, “currently i'm interested in the textures of the synthetic and ephemeral; smoke, plastic, metals etc.i’m focusing on pulling that all together in the future.” never laying all of his cards on the table, his work usually leaves you with more questions about the story behind the piece.

Stevie Whisper's Donkeyland #11 / 04.09.2025

In this episode we are going to explore everything that is related to jazz, in all the bizarre spectrum and shapes it takes. And Awkward Position is a monthly radio transmission, hosted in the middle of the week by Yssue, dedicated to unusual, offbeat, and misbehaving musical forms. You're invited to lose your footing and embrace the contradictions. Expect: leftfield detours, kraut ghosts, post-club somethings, lopsided breaks, sentimental industrial, crumbling poetry, orchestral avant-garde — and whatever else sneaks in. Cool guests may drift through. We’ll awkwardly share the booth — maybe some half-formed thoughts and sparks of inspiration too. Step inside. Get comfortable. Let’s ride forever.

Awkward Position #2 w/ Yssue

We’re beyond excited to share a brand-new 90-minute mix from Narathip, a long-time friend and supporter. From his days working with Dekmantel to building his ever-inspiring Rhythmic Culture platform, Narathip has consistently championed forward-thinking sounds and community-driven projects, something we’ve always connected with. It feels special to host him here with a mix that captures his signature flow: syncopated percussive bass, half-time/double-time momentum, and cutting-edge sound design tied together with groove and finesse. Big love for everything he brings!

There are few names as widely loved in clubland as Bristol-based producer Omar McCutcheon, AKA Batu.

His label Timedance, currently celebrating its ten-year anniversary, has been instrumental in shaping a certain corner of contemporary electronic music. It champions a mutant, rhythmic, UK-flavoured sound that escapes any obvious genre touchstones, as well as spotlighting the careers of artists like Verraco, Ploy and Hodge who push musical and cultural boundaries.

In this Exchange, McCutcheon sat down with Resident Advisor's editor, Gabriel Szatan, in London to reflect on the label's Afrofuturist philosophy, its journey over the past decade and the sense of purpose and direction that have developed over time. He spoke about the impact that scenes beyond the UK—such as China, South Africa, Brazil and Mexico—have had on his productions and label curation, and how they offer fresh perspectives that contrast with Europe's sometimes overly nostalgic take on dance music. He also discussed finding positivity in a dark time, and music's enduring potential to inspire and connect.
