Jay Carder B2B Small Crab - 08 April 2024

A focused low-end workout from Small Crab who sets her sights on experimenting with tracks around 80pm, playing with different textures and rhythms, going fast and slow. 

Based in Dublin, Small Crab is a DJ, producer and founding member of the Skin & Blister collective - a platform that aims to nurture and support female identifying, trans and non-binary creatives. With releases on Early Reflex, Left, Right & Centre, Intercept and Paryìa to name a few, Small Crab's productions leans more into the percussive and breaksy realm of bass music - sounds of which you can find in the accompanying mix here. 

In the below interview, we chat with Small Crab about her early introductions to music, what her production journey has been like so far, what she loves about the scene in Dublin and her approach to podcast 191.

Untitled 909 Podcast 191: Small Crab

Name: Anastasia
Alias: Small Crab (@smallcrab)
Pronouns: She/Her
Location: Dublin

Influences: It’s all about the drums! I’m drawn to percussion and deep drum sounds that create a visceral impact. <3

Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: I’m involved with Skin&Blister, a Dublin-based collective dedicated to empowering FLINTA creatives in Ireland through workshops, parties, and various initiatives.

Favorite Quote: "Sometimes the most profound ideas come from letting go of the need to control the outcome." - Rick Ruben 

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Follow your instincts! When it comes to choosing music, releasing tracks, or making decisions, focus on what feels right to you and brings you joy. Prioritize your own satisfaction over how others might perceive it. Stay open-minded and explore a wide range of music—there’s no need to confine yourself to one genre or style.

About the mix: I wanted to craft an uplifting, high-energy dance mix that excites and energizes! Drawing influences from bass, reggaeton, dubstep, Afro-house, and techno, it maintains a vibrant pulse throughout. While it occasionally ventures into darker, dubstep-influenced territory, I see the percussive elements as the driving force and centerpiece of this mix.

@smallcrab

Dublin based DJ/Producer Small Crab delivers a brilliant summary of pace and wub in this latest mix for Markham Road Records. With her latest release on Scuffed Recordings, Small Crab is continuing to push the boundaries of club ready sounds rooted in Dubstep and breaks. The mix continues to build to a rather nostalgic ending, definitely not something to miss.

MARKHAM 10 w/ Small Crab

PLASMA SOURCES with unearth, Guide & NIQH | Reprezent Radio | 21 March 2025

traverse is proud to announce the release of its first record - a compilation of six tracks from various artists, inspired by Pembroke King’s poem moving silhouettes, written for this occasion.

As the fourth volume of the compilation series “traversée”, moving silhouettes encourages artists to explore all corners of listening music and creative avenues that aren’t tied to any one convention.

Pembroke King’s poem sheds light on the mood of the compilation, and even though each artist brings its own interpretation of it, there is a beautiful harmony of it all - from Kate Miller’s atmospheric sounds to Teqmun’s drums-made-of-rain-drop-recordings or Ghjuliú’s nostalgic melodies, the listener travels around Pembroke’s words with each track.

As our first physical release, we feel honoured to collaborate with artists who have been involved in a way or another on traverse before such as Officium, Mika Oki and Alohn, but Kate Miller, Teqmun, and Ghjuliú, that we’ve been keeping close to our heart for a long time already.

artwork: Gabriel Sauvageot
tracks produced and mixed by (in order of appearance): Alexis Tytelman, Tijmen Blokzijl, Alban Mercier and Yolek, Kate Miller, Ghjuliú, Mika Oki
mastered & cut: Marco Pellegrini at Analogcut
digital master: Umvral
distribution: Kuroneko

Teqmun - Waddling on Wet Stones (traversée04)

CCL launches their subglow label with Rebuild, an EP from Bristol club provocateur @georg-i, featuring remixes from Metrist and the elusive B. McQueen.

After years of lighting up the dance floor at subglow and serving as a cornerstone in club sets, Rebuild is finally getting an official release to the public. georg-i’s previous releases on Perko’s FELT and aya & BFTT’s YCO imprints have established him as an incendiary club constructor probing the fringes of contemporary dance music. The release will be accompanied by poetry from subglow co-conspirator and artist Nadia Marcus, co-founder of Berlin experimental publishing platform TABLOID Press.

Informed by the restlessness of living in an apocalyptic present and the desire to rebuild the broken systems surrounding us, Rebuild is influenced by math rock's feverish and cataclysmic energy, eschewing conventional club BPMs in favour of dizzying tempo trickery and polymetric wizardry. “Torn In Two” gets off to a slow, chugging start, with raucous synths riffing over emphatic drums, but soon swirls into a juddering, pointillistic frenzy. “Bridging The Gap” is a cathartic shout, an acidic crescendo whose triplet meter offers tempo-transitioning opportunities for adventurous DJs who don’t mind a bit of maths. “Communication” gallops along cathartically through ricocheting synths and drums, unfolding into a thrilling breakdown. On remix duties, B. McQueen re-imagines “Torn In Two” as a sultry, dubbed-out roller, charting groove across a heady plain, while Metrist’s ambitious rework of “Communication” amps up the tension and primes it for a peak-time dancefloor sometime in the next millennium.
