Wet Dreamz x AF 09/05

@wednesday_dj had an UNFOLD debut to remember two weeks ago, with a magical set that weaved trance, minimal psytrance and techno into one hypnotic sound.

After steadily making a name for herself over the last year, Wednesday took the opportunity at UNFOLD to explore the darker, faster tracks in her collection.

We can now bring you this UNFOLD set from Wednesday, exclusively released on our DETECT series. You can hear it on our FOLD SoundCloud.

DETECT [090] - Wednesday

Kicking off the new year and picking up the tempo we have a rly nice ride from one of our good friends Wednesday. 
 
Wednesday aka Hannah's foray into the scene began with a residency with South London's Co Select who put on quality underground DIY events around the city and were early advocates for balanced representation behind the booth.  Her first two mixes demonstrated an ear for selection and programming that stood out and led to us booking her for one of our parties, not knowing she had already been attending as a punter :)  With a character that matches her cheeky style, Wednesday has slowly been building a name for herself playing across town and further afield for Together Elsewhere, RE:SISTANCE, Free Movements, Above & Below Festival, Divine Risen, Hypersoft in Berlin and regularly at UNFOLD.  
Here she jumps straight into it with just over an hour and a half of craftily woven progressive trance and minimal psy.

Anyone know suki?

Otherworldly frequencies flutter through fractured rhythms in the latest Off-Kilter submission brought to you by Melbourne’s suki. 

A colourful delve into his creative repertoire ft. all previously unreleased tracks, suki throws us into a mind-melting myriad of house, techno and trance - a kaleidoscopic palette of sound.

//

This mix consists of 16 previously unreleased tracks, jams and sessions by William Howard aka suki during 2018-2023; between Melbourne, Paris and Berlin. Compiled together in a perhaps incohesive manner, this mix represents the creative journey that the artist experienced over the last 5 years.


With over a decade’s worth of both production & selection, Naarm (Melbourne) electronic music maestro suki (aka Will Howard) maintains an innate desire to achieve mastery within his craft.

Deliberately chosen, Will’s ‘suki’ moniker attests to the love, unity and positive influences that can be attained and shared through music - whether it’s experienced as part of a pumping dancefloor, or
individually via the radio and personal devices . As one of the artists at the forefront of Naarm’s bustling electronic music scene, his multi-faceted musical project has progressively expanded (via his Sniper1,
DJ Huntsman & sgarn monikers) to the delight of both those who know him or have only just discovered him.

Eternally adding to his arsenal of production hardware to go with his experience, he creates dance music that draws heavily on 90’s house, techno, trance and hip-hop sounds, utilising old school drum
machines and other raw elements. Producing music from a young age has given Will a level of experience and ability far beyond that of your typical mid-20s producer and as such, he has already
released on labels such as Holding Hands Records, Aquaregia, Dansu Discs, e1even and Haŵs.

An artist who simply cannot be tied down to a certain style, suki’s expansive repertoire has seen him perform at Australia’s most prominent venues and festivals, but it’s the recognition of his talents
overseas that really validates his pedigree – with his tracks being used in sets all around the world.

With a plethora of releases always on the horizon, suki is showing himself to be one of the scene’s most dedicated contributors.

“I’m super pleased to share this mix, it’s the result of some long digging sessions and features nearly all tracks from the 90’s and 00’s, some from rare CDs. 

It reflects the darker side of my sound, which i’m absolutely loving at the moment 🌘

I ended on an unreleased edit of a Medicine Drum track by my dad, he’s had a big influence on me so felt like the right place for it!”

Some moments are timeless, and we are lucky to be able to capture and share it everyone. We hope you enjoy the throwback, as much as we enjoyed the sweaty and bubbly dance floor.

Thank you a million for dancing with us since 2014 <3

Harmony Rec.ordings | Zeynep b2b Yan @ 9 Years of Harmony "Closing Set"

Following her appearance at our first Manual Smiles party at The Cause in October, we're extremely excited to welcome the talented @aquamarine_mp3 to mint our new mix series, the Manualcast. 

The US-born, London-based Wet Dreamz founder offers us an hour of progressive melodies, rich synth work and fast-paced rhythm with a gorgeous 90s touch.

"In conceiving this mix, I was inspired by Enno’s vision for the series: psychedelia in all its forms! I wanted to unite classic psytrance motifs and 90s-influenced prog with groovy spiralling percussion. Enno’s own productions inspired me to take a dive into the more acid-drenched reaches of my collection, uncovering 303s that are at times dark and menacing, at others bright and euphoric. Above all, I wanted it to be a very danceable hour for all my home-ravers out there" - Aquamarine

For this new podcast platform, we invite friends and family from the label to dig deep into their record collection to tell a story in psychedelic tracks. We encourage artists to take us on a trip through the unique shades that mark their sound, a brief Alex has smashed.

If you're in London, make sure to catch her at her own Wet Dreamz party next week, 7th December, at the Glove That Fits in Hackney.
