"We created this label to experiment. At its core, Lost in Translation aims to be a platform for artists to explore new approaches to musical storytelling, walk roads less travelled and see what happens.

It is with this in mind that we are excited to announce the first volume of our Short Stories series, coming out on May 23rd. The brief provided to the artists was simple: tell a story. With a line-up of versatile producers and no limits on the runtime of their chapters, the result is a four-track anthology of introspective atmospheres"

"The mix reflects a whole range of different types of house and therefore also my repertoire. Between deep house and rolling baselines that slowly transition into energetic progressive house tracks, the mix ends up being a trip through the 90s and the present as well as the genre that I love so much because of its diversity."

"For this mix I wanted to pull together something that captures where I'm at musically in terms of what I'm listening to regularly, obsessing over and who I'm inspired by. I feel like it's a proper time capsule. I'm very thankful for the dancefloor experiences I had this summer which introduced me to some pretty incredible producers and DJs, ones who are more influenced by nature and the environment surrounding them with these organic, psychedlic textures seeping through their soundscapes. There's a lot of percussive and deep spacey elements in this mix, spanning everything from the trippy and minimal to the sometimes obnoxious style of psytrance."

"the inspiration for this mix came from a special afterparty where i DJ’d after a rave i had co-organized in montreal last october. i had spent most of the night dealing with the cops and got a fine for noise. once at the afterparty, i got to channel my frustration into music; i played dub techno for hours. to me, the airy but deep grooves of that music provide space for both introspection and release. hope you feel it too."

'Morphers' is a rattling 3 tunes split that was forged between French producer Flore and San Francisco’s Only Now. The release represents the unwritten language shared between both friends over the past 7 years, with their affinity for propulsive percussion workouts and livewire bass music. After releasing on the POLAAR label for years, Only Now and Flore finally met in person for a collab long awaited.

“Collaborating with someone on the production side is not something I’m used to “- says Flore. “It is like a non-verbal communication and its interplay of perspectives. But I think that Kush and I share a same sonic language and this new experience pushed us to embrace the unpredictability and subjectivity inherent in this new creative process.”

The story began in Paris when Flore invited Only Now to come play at her POLAAR night at la Station. A couple of days later they met again at Tim Karbon’s studio, and sketched out ideas. It shaped into a tune made by their 4 hands (« Morphers ») and « Cut & Run », a tune revisited in 2 versions, with their own slant, but trying to keep an even balance between each producer.

Flore’s take on « Cut & Run » encapsulates the essence of big sound system influence. Dub-infused rhythms morph seamlessly into widescreen sound design elements, creating a unique dialect that invites you to decipher its ethereal symbols.

Accidental melodies and textural forms comprise Kin Teal’s Ecosystem, the Budapest-based producer’s second EP of iridescent club-not-club zones and debut for Human Pitch. Bridging 130-140 leftfield bass with liquid downtempo chuggers, Kin Teal uncovers hidden melodies in the resonant frequencies of percussion. “By amplifying certain frequencies in drum breaks, our brains latch onto that as a melody. These melodies are often askew, not perfectly tuned, and I wanted to embrace that.”

Doubling down on the record’s title and theme, Kin Teal played with the idea of a record in which each sound and track reacts to one another. Tubular melodies coil around syncopated drums as though by reflex and vocal blips flit through the gaps. There’s a clockwork but also a fluidity to Kin Teal’s oblique rhythms, which trace the producer’s growth, bending blueprints with a vibrant curiosity.

Premiere: Kin Teal - Muscle Cars

Under the unusual casing of the Schönfeld album are many small cogwheels, whirring drive belts, elastic support straps and clattering cylinder heads that want to push the experimental device towards the dance floor and succeed in doing so. An ant city with a functioning infrastructure from whose towers the trumpet riffs, professionally played by the master himself, resound. The stubborn otherness with the artist's masticating signature is what secures the album a temporary place on my Mp3 player. For this premiere we go for the winding, hypnotic and elastic Have a Break, Have a Cat. Enjoy.

Grid Records kick off their 2024 with Contrast EP, a mesmerising collection of future-facing tracks from certified one-to-watch Plebeian. The NYC producer is quickly garnering deserved attention for his acutely detailed and explorative bass productions reminiscent of Objekt and Djrum.

Plebeian offers up four shimmering and lush dance organisms that exist in an ecosystem entirely of their own. Microscopic drum engineering coupled with flourishes of dubbed out percussion, moments of blissful beauty and infinitely oscillating synth swells, all distilled to create 4D soundscapes that will captivate and intrigue the listener - Panic is no exception to this.

"Akanbi B2B The Large recorded live last November at New York’s veteran party ReSolute! This 2hr recording was the closing set to a rocking night with the Zenker Brothers & Priori holding down the earlier shifts. Mega fun & bubbly, body rocking, summer whiplash vibes plenty inside this chunky mix. A bountiful bouquet of good ass dance music straight from the heart is what you’re guaranteed with this one. 100% spiritual rejuvenation or your money back. Highly recommended for long car rides while the sun is up…volume up. Hope you enjoy…love."

"I like doing studio mixes with a specific idea in mind. It could be a theme, a color, a feeling, a specific club, or space I am envisioning while putting the tracks together. For this mix, I really wanted to play with energy, and bringing it up and down and back again throughout the mix. It's a bit how I try to DJ an opening set, bridging the gap between dancefloor tracks and experimentation, keeping it interesting without using up all the energy in the room. I believe club nights are a team sport and you need to play your position with pride."

"I usually use home recorded mixes to explore the deeper and more esoteric corners of my record and music collection, but with this one for the Mantissa crew I decided to do something more 'club' or dance-floor orientated. It was a good idea, because it was actually really fun to make and I had a good time recording it. Percussive, dubby, bassy and with a healthy dose of DRUMS (as is usual with me), this mix will hopefully make you want to move!"

"We are more than delighted to welcome Martini to W133. After appearances on Kindergarten Records and Early Reflex, the NYC-based producer delivers three uniquely well-crafted originals for the Berlin imprint.
...
On A3, the third and last original track, "Lounge Lizard," creeps into your ears very subtly and sneakily. High foreign-sounding arpeggiated melodies twirl around your head, and you get lost in the sound when suddenly a high-energy switch drops in and makes you want to move your reptile extremities.
...
The EP will be available as a limited 25-copy dubplate run as well as digitally. The vinyl comes in fully printed cover sleeves with analogue photography by Freya Gerz."

"Like a lot of my mixes, I love to build up the energy as the mix goes on, shifting between moods and weaving between 4x4 and broken beat techno. What I did not expect with this mix was to properly let loose and get real gritty at the end with some UK Dubstep."

"I had been looking for a proper home for this baby since the gig took place in September, with just myself and Objekt on the evening's bill and a dancefloor full of tough groovers that don't mind getting a little glitched out. I love the journey I went on with this one. It's certainly a trip, if you're looking for that kinda thing. Heavyweight bass, frenetic and strangely seductive, freaky hypnosis, crunchy body rollers, space exploration, sonic puzzlement ~ 2 hours of energy for the heady psychonauts that also like to shake their ass. My little sweet spot."

"Four years ago, I released a mix on Nowruz for the new year, and I listened back to it as a prompt. March 2020 and March 2024 are enveloped by unimaginable displacement and loss, and we are called on to plant and water seeds of resistance as we move into spring. While this mix features my classic deranged three minute blends, they’re contrasted by complex syncopation and seismic switch-ups that more accurately create a container for the unknowns of the new year. Within this mystery, there’s a hyperactive optimism, reflected by the dark but celebratory second half of the mix. Expect acid, dabke, breaks, and the usual genre-busting rumblings."

"For this mix I have created a journey through my favourite hypnotic, dark & hard sounds. I hope this mix makes you imagine you are floating through space or in a distant cosmic realm. . . I have tried to build a nice progression throughout the mix with some ambient, upbeat, dark & melodic elements in between.  Recorded from my home studio on CDJ-900s (my favourite CDJs)  Enjoy - iluna"
