@loekfrey is a name that now sits up there with some of the most exciting talents to have emerged from the Dutch scene in recent times. It's his unique blend of IDM, techno, breakbeat and drum & bass that has turned so many heads, not least with his Decipher album on home label Omen Wapta which was a widescreen soundscape of varying intensities and tempos. His ability to veer from the intricate and experimental to the hallucinatory and vibrant is second to none as he proves with his mix for us this week. 

It is a special one that is fully live and made up entirely of his own productions so makes for a perfect window into his world. Inside you will find 60 atmospheric minutes that soon immerse you in cinematic cosmic ambiance and hurried minimal rhythms embellished with ghoulish voices and dark undertones that unite both body and mind. It's a sleek and linear journey defined by the constant presence of a supple and pulsing bassline that transports you to distant future worlds in style.

Next up on Tentacular is @a-m-u-w-a —  DJ and producer hailing from Sydney/Eora. He has been a strong go-to and inspiration for the past few years. It was delightful to meet him in person this summer during his visit to Paris. Born and raised in the urban sprawl of Sydney CBD, amuwa now brings a decade of musical development to a culmination, seamlessly blending design and emotion.

Make sure to check out his debut album, 'Force Majeure' if you haven't already. The EP draws from formative experiences immersed in the sounds of city noise, industrial zones, natural amphitheaters, and packed dance floors. Familiar strains of electro, trance, and bass music shift and meld into new, hybrid forms, driven by a synthetic-organic logic. We’ve also seen a remarkable track, 'Goblin' featured in the first @a-biotic VA. Definitely keeping a keen eye on what's coming next from him. I've had a chance to listen to a few tracks in preparation, and I can assure you they are sizzling hot.

He shared a few words about his recording:

"This mix represents my recent interpretations of the many unexpected and somewhat unusual stylistic crossovers between previously isolated areas of the wider modern electronic dance music soundscape. In this way, I wanted to tell a story of energetic ebb and flows within a higher tempo and how diverse faster-tempo music has become and is experienced today. We hear moments of hypnotic, half-time, and heavier sensibilities, and my goal was to place these moments in a stimulating and influence-melding narrative. I adore the work of the artists included in this mix, and I hope you enjoy listening.”

I truly enjoyed it and am very happy to share this with you now. Thanks for your trust and for joining the Tentacular family, Josh.

Tentacular revient avec un mix de @a-m-u-w-a , DJ et producteur originaire de Sydney/Eora. Il a été pour moi une référence forte et une source d'inspiration au cours des dernières années. C'était un plaisir de le rencontrer en personne cet été lors de son passage à Paris. Né et élevé dans l'agitation urbaine du centre-ville de Sydney, amuwa apporte dix ans de développement musical à son apogée, mêlant harmonieusement design et émotion.

Son premier album, "Force Majeure", est à (re)découvrir d’urgence si vous l’avez manqué. L'EP puise dans des expériences formatrices immergées dans les sons du bruit de la ville, des zones industrielles, des amphithéâtres naturels et des pistes de danse bondées. Des souches familières d'électro, de trance et de bass music se déplacent et se fondent en de nouvelles formes hybrides, animées par une logique synthétique-organique. Un autre morceau remarquable "Goblin" est sorti sur le premier VA @a-biotic. On garde un œil attentif sur ses prochaines productions. J'ai eu l'occasion d'écouter quelques morceaux en préparation, et ils sont bouillants!

Il a partagé quelques mots à propos de son enregistrement :

"Cette mixtape représente mes interprétations récentes des nombreux croisements stylistiques inattendus et quelque peu inhabituels entre des zones auparavant isolées du paysage sonore plus large de la musique électronique moderne. Ainsi, je voulais raconter une histoire d'oscillations énergétiques dans un tempo plus élevé et montrer à quel point la musique à tempo rapide est devenue diverse et est vécue aujourd'hui. Nous entendons des moments d'hypnose, de « half-time » et de sensibilités plus lourdes. Mon objectif était de placer ces moments dans une narration stimulante et influente. J'adore le travail des artistes inclus dans cette mixtape, et j'espère que vous apprécierez l'écoute."

Un véritable coup de cœur pour moi que je suis ravie de partager sur tentacular <3

Venture deep into the mystical realm of "The Wailing Woods," where the ancient trees whisper secrets and the ethereal melodies of trance weave a tapestry of enchantment. In this otherworldly compilation, embark on a musical odyssey through the shadows of a forest steeped in magic and mystery.

🍄 As you traverse the winding paths, beware the elusive Faeirelings, mischievous sprites that dance among the luminescent mushrooms, leaving trails of bewilderment in their wake. The air is thick with the pulsating beats of this music, resonating with the heartbeat of the enchanted woods. Allow the athmosphere to guide you, but tread cautiously, for the siren call of the woods our creatures can lead even the most steadfast wanderer astray.

🌿 Amidst the towering trees, ancient guardians known as Sylvan Spirits emerge from the emerald foliage. These majestic beings move in harmony with the pulsating rhythms, their luminous eyes reflecting the kaleidoscopic hues of the psychedelic vibrations. The very air seems to shimmer with energy as you become entangled in the symbiosis of nature and sound.

🔍 Yet, beware the shadows that stir in the depths of the "Wailing Woods." Unseen creatures, drawn to the hypnotic cadence, lurk just beyond the moonlit glades. Will-o'-wisps flicker like spectral lanterns, tempting the adventurous souls to stray into the heart of the unknown.

🎶 "The Wailing Woods" beckons those who seek an immersive auditory experience, where the mystical and the musical coalesce. Unearth the tracks that resonate with the ancient energy of the forest, but remember, in this enchanting realm, the line between reality and fantasy blurs, and one must navigate the bewitching symphony with caution. Let the journey begin, but heed the age-old warning – in the heart of "The Wailing Woods," music is both the key and the riddle. 🔮🌲
