Russian-born Anastasia Vtorova makes music that is autobiographical in style, but also in name. The titles of @machinewoman's tracks reference things like her favourite bouncers ('Camile From OHM Makes Me Feel Loved’) as well as her least favourite genres ('I Want to Fuck Tech House'). The beats themselves bare the hallmarks of the different chapters of her life, from the industrial she was first exposed to growing up in a post-Soviet environment to the late-night eeriness of Salford where she lived before moving amongst the minimal rhythms of Berlin. All this came out most recently in her distinctly glitchy, mechanical sounds and abstractions for toucan sounds with Derek Muro late last year. 

This week's mix feels like a continuation of that, with spacious after-dark electronics, moody ambient and shadowy dub techno soundtracking a walk through a desolate network of abandoned warehouses. Ghoulish sounds lurk around every corner as the pace picks up, with the occasional ray of light, drip of water or hallucinatory synth pulling you ever further into her world. It's a fascinating place to be.

A collection of unreleased TFR music from the vaults

Long known for their killer releases on labels like Skam and Blueprint Records, this mix they've dubbed Ratio Sound Trials sees James Ruskin and Mark Broom collecting all sorts of fragments, sketches, and loops from the last few years that never bloomed into a coherent hour of head-spinning productions. Side A sees the first 30 minutes filled with intoxicating head-nod sonics, edging closer towards the skuffed hip hop beat tapes of the late 90s, flipping samples and wildstyle vocal cuts over programmed drum loops. On the flip the anti is upped with an increase in torque and tension over the following half hour, exploring the monolithic dystopian sound design they have mastered over the years, flitting between techno and electro influences with constantly shifting, tense rhythms. The Fear Ratio claim the material on these transmissions won’t be heard again, so listen in and grab one of the limited run cassettes while they’re still around.

Bleep Mix #237 - The Fear Ratio

Deeptrax go even deeper with ‘Hi8tus’ – the first album from Detroit pioneer and forerunner Suburban Knight in over 12 years.

One of the earliest protagonists in the epoch-defining, landscape-changing Motor City cultural movement, and a card-carrying Underground Resistance member, James Pennington’s fingerprints are all over Detroit’s nascent phases as he mentored the likes of Mike Banks, collaborated with Kevin Saunderson and appeared on formative Transmat dispatches in the late 80s and early 90s. 

Preferring a behind the scenes role for many years, Pennington has operated in the shadows, only ever releasing music when he’s had something to say. There have been long periods of silence in his discography but in recent times he’s returned with a series of singles and outings on Mollison Folson & Derrick Lewis’s Detroit Techno Records. 

Now time to level up once again and remind us of his sonic skills and stature, ‘Hi8tus’ thrives off its timeless futurist schematics, each one instantly tapping into the deepest of Detroit sources, but doing so without any repetition or covering old routes. 

Largely breakbeat-based, Pennington pays homage to the electro foundations in a wide range of forward-facing ways; the uncompromising icy opener ‘Far Far Away’, the hazy soul and dreamy waves of ‘Spiritual Ride’ and the gnarled, brittle brutalism of ‘Stalker Turned Electro’ (a nod to one of this most enduring bangers back in the day – ‘The Art Of Stalking’) map out the parameters of Knight’s navigations. 

In between we have brooding, pensive moments of tension. The four-to-the-floor prowl of ‘Thy Will Be Done’, the b-boy swagger of ‘Machete’, the glacial dark side voyage of ‘2 Different Worlds’, the list of immersive explorations goes on… 

Proof that when it’s in your DNA it doesn’t matter how long you pause between releases; it’s about what you say with your music. Suburban Knight’s hiatus is well and truly over.

Neptunian Influence, Fifty-Five | Featuring @Ryote

Since co-founding @Kajunga, Minneapolis’ only skate-punk boy band/record label, Ryote has carved out a niche with his trademark squiggly brand of high-tempo slammers. Also a resident deejay of Intellephunk, this B-52’s historian with the most bounce per ounce knows how to lay it on thick while keeping things totally sleemin.

It comes but once a year, our top tracks of 2022.
Tough year, seems to be the mantra of life there days. Nevertheless, the lads bury the spike of reality with a selection of nourishing sounds that guarantee to warm away the horrors staring back at you.
Robbie starts us off with some beauts care of the always excellent Heinrich Dressel and his silken synth work. Synths are the focus for Mothball’s Ash in October with Galaxian offering some electro commentary on levers of power. The atmospherics of Ard Bit lead into the The wizardry of John Beltran before we hit the floor. Mr Ho & Mogwaa and their upbeat “Bail-E” are countered with the caustic electronics of Sound Synthesis and knob jerks of PQ17 on the freshly minted Unusual Transmission. 
The broken beat bandwagon is boarded for the superb Kanyalang! with Spain’s Black Quasar scaling peaks with Negative Glitch. We stay with Black Quasar and Existential Wabbit, resurfacing with Nebulae elegance and Delayscape’s delicate “Baffled Cry.”
A constant source of inspiration for us at WE FORFEIT is De:tuned, the Belgian label once again setting the bar incredibly high in 2022. Two tracks, care of legends Stasis and Nuron, had to make the selection, and do!
Chris takes the wheel with cracking pieces from our good pal Dj Sneaker, the unmissable Cignol, on HC Records, and the hard hitting Hard Ton on Schrödinger’s Box. Robbie returns with an 030303 gem of the last twelve months, Tom Gilbert and “Lucid Dream” mixed into the electro godfathers that are Morphology.
Muchísimas gracias a Radio Relativa, nuestros oyentes y los invitados como Adrián Marth. Seguimos, como el tiempo, con más pronto. Un abrazazazazazo.

Radio Relativa #33 - Top Tracks of 2022

I return with my beloved mixtapes, this time, titled Morphogenetic Fields (Tracklist below). Every organism and living system in nature has its own Morphogenetic Field, surrounding it in time and space. Even after the organism disappears, the field remains with it's influence, liable to manifest the structure again, in different times and spaces, under specific conditions. The metamorphose of the past and storing this memory of existence into the present, allows the transmission of influences to continue. The fields inform and shape molecules and thoughts. They send signals for developing new directions of existence. The Morphic Fields are a composition of a collective memory, which represents the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. This is why, I call this collection of tracks Morphogenetic Fields, in which each piece of music is adding the emotions, memory and quantum nature of its existence, into the total "Field" of the mix. While listening to each mix, you recreate and exist in a parallel sonic universe with me. 

Tracks by @Monolake, KiTa on Andy Garvey's label @purespacefm, BOOF (alias of Maurice Fulton), Threads, Wata Igarashi remix of @aurora_halal, Djoser, B'Zircon (@Roza-Terenzi and @Fantastic-Man ) on Kalahari Oyster Clult, @AdamPits (remixed by Seb Wildblood), @TornadoWallace, Karenn, Al Wootton on @Livity-Sound , Datra, Mani Festo and Biochip on @cpurecords
