Wake up sleepyheads; after another rotation around the sun and the fog of the early year drifting across the realm, what better way to break through than breaks. Spray is once again on the archival quest, dusting off jewels for the dancers, with this time’s excavation taking us to a 1994 North London bedroom (heard that before huh?). Originally released on D*Fusion Records, at a time when the ever-rising pulsating amphetamine twitch of hardcore was side stepped, with some furthering their fury into jungle, and others receding into more cerebral and ethereal realms. This collection of huge tunes falls into the latter from the producer Anoesis; a release for the post-post generation, when bygone specters of trance dance mania become the ghouls of the moment, the need for Rave ever increasing.

All in all it takes about 15 seconds to know that ‘Heavy Water’ is an essential massive break your speaker hit. Gated vox pop out like sirens in the smoke and lasers, calling you to engage with the eternal/internal rhythm that is the acid squelch break. A perfect dose of psych deviates the song to a higher path. For the remix contemporary audio savant D. Tiff strips away the buzz saw grind of the original, encouraging hypnosis and trance-infected desires, with a touch of mooood.

On the flip Diact is super keen for an ascension. A menaced freaky overlord, pulling at the strings that the dancers are mere puppets to follow, channeling a big beat essence. Trouble Down Groove assumes the form of the classic break and vocal flip, full of twitched sampling hype; 1 for the dancefloor headspinners. Aligned to the Anoesis sound, it’s mutated with a certain type of alluring growl, a sonic signature, and the key sound running through this EP.

Quest at Dekmantel Ten

After having some personal issues at home, and my creativity being at low levels, we are entering the colder weather and shorter days, here is the 2nd edition of #scream series, followed by more darker and mystical sounds, but still filled with emotions, attracting winter.

I hope you like it.

Love,

Scream 02

A star amongst stars, Desyn has long been a prized artist in our community. His combination of atmospherics and groove is always a welcome sight on any lineup, but when he is combined with the rest of his Faciendo cohorts and Novaturient agency mates you know a memorable night is in store. From his time in the more progressive heights of house music, through to the underground forms he latterly has become synonymous for, Desyn has long been known as a barometer of quality that many gauge themselves against.

After our previous b2b last August, Manscream returns to Offbeat Transmissions for a b2b with Kiwitz. Expect two hours of proggy and energetic house & electro! 

Manscream, also known as Manuel, is a DJ and fresh producer who has found his rhythm in Amsterdam’s vibrant music scene. Growing up in Pula, Croatia, he was deeply inspired by the legendary Dimensions and Outlook festivals, which sparked his love for electronic music. Outlook, with its heavy focus on bass music, was where his heart first connected with drum and bass, a genre that became the foundation of his ride. Over time, he expanded his craft by incorporating house, techno and other styles into his sets.

Since 2013, Manuel has been shaping his sound, drawing inspiration from his experiences playing across Croatia’s alternative scene, from intimate bars and clubs to local festivals. His eclectic style blends everything from house and disco to breakbeat, trance, and techno, and beyond, always keeping his love for the music at the core. Refusing to be boxed into one genre, his open-minded approach allows his sound to evolve continuously.

Whether he’s performing at a cozy local gig or on a bigger stage, Manuel’s sets are a journey, weaving together energy and emotion while connecting with diverse audiences. His sound continues to grow and shape his future productions, making his music exciting and ever-evolving.

Kiwitz delivers a high-energy fusion of uptempo progressive house, trance, and hardhouse, with a signature flair for broken beats and retro vibes. His sets are dynamic and bouncy, blending deep basslines with intricate breakbeat textures that keep the dancefloor alive. With a sound that's both nostalgic and forward-pushing, Kiwitz weaves classic influences into a modern, proggy framework. It's an experience designed to move bodies and captivate ears.

Offbeat Transmissions #77 - with Kiwitz b2b Manscream - November 26th 2025

Genre doesn’t matter much to me, emotion does. This mix is a loose homage to where I’m from, both geographically and musically. If you know the Adriatic coast, you might feel it. If not, maybe this takes you close. Built around feelings from my surroundings, tracks that stir something, whether it’s nostalgia, pressure, softness, or tension. The BPM moves, the styles shift, It’s about the way things unfold. A few unexpected moments are in there too - because comfort is good, but surprise keeps it alive.

Game Over EP (Snippets)

Manuel - spinning as Manscream - is a DJ who has found his rhythm in Amsterdam’s kinetic music scene. Growing up in Pula, Croatia, he was deeply inspired by the legendary Dimensions and Outlook festivals, which sparked his love for electronic music. Outlook, with its heavy focus on bass music, was where his heart first connected with drum and bass - a genre that laid the foundation for his musical ride.

Since 2013, Manuel has been shaping his sound, drawing inspiration from years of playing across a corner of Croatia’s alternative scene - from intimate bars and clubs to local festivals. His eclectic style blends everything from house and disco to breakbeat, trance, and techno, always keeping his love for music at the core. Refusing to be boxed into a single genre, his curious-minded approach allows his sound to evolve freely and continuously.

What began as a journey through genres has grown into something more fluid, a kind of sonic therapy that keeps your neurons dancing. His sets are immersive narratives: storytelling through sound, driven by expression, layered with emotion, and just the right amount of chaos to keep things alive and moving, driven by connection and a pure, unfiltered love for sound.
