Neux — live from Boiler Room Tbilisi at Khidi Club.

Neux | Boiler Room X Khidi: Tbilisi

Closing the chapter of our Bassiani takeover for July, here comes Tbilisi’s Kvanchi, providing the very kind of fire we needed to top off a month of Georgian heat over at RYC. Infused with deeper Detroit tech flavors and strains of effusive acid hoodoo, Kvanchi’s mixes are testaments to the old-school sound, all set at bringing dance floors to a simmer through nonstop bouncy momentums and bespoke soulful selections. True to this approach, Kvanchi’s RYC podcast keeps it buoyant from start to finish, as it nimbly navigates the frontier between hi-NRG house traction from back in the day, electroid / breaks-heavy charges and a touch of ghetto-tech-informed irreverence. Clearly toasting to the Motor City’s heritage, a most fitting wrap-up to that longed-for Bassiani x RYC takeover. We hope you enjoyed the journey as much as we did.

Reclaim Your City  

Reclaim Your City 550 | Kvanchi

The presented EP by Newa was created during pandemic times, in isolation, when artists worldwide had to give up their basic needs and look for new opportunities to express themselves in complete deprivation. A transformation into a physical vacuum was required to regain the balance—lost in the face of an existential dilemma. Each composition is an artistic embodiment of metamorphosis and temperance, a sonic manifestation of a continuous process, an improvisation with an arsenal as limited as people's actions under isolation. “Equilibrium” describes and discusses the universal issues for humankind arising from sociocultural and psychological contexts and does so in the language of music. With its rhythmic cadence and frequency components, this record acquires an almost tangible form that goes beyond all the limits of perception. The accompanying energy of sensations, cognitive processes, and new consciousness inspired by the discoveries transform into a single story of four tracks, where each carries a feeling of undisguised sublimation as the ultimate source of creativity.

The release explores the subject's relationship to the environment and how a modern soul interacts with large-scale cataclysms, of how one might confront the darkness and what will be one's armament in the face of the new (the latter in this case, not being derived from the old); How does the inevitable need for expression arise, amidst a chaotic storm behind unchanging behavior, and how is this storm reharmonized if the recipient body and mind belong to an artist? How is the balance achieved, and when is the equilibrium reached? These rhetorical questions are best thought through by listening to this record, as frequency is the leading instrument and minimalistic phrasing naturally follows the stream of consciousness.

The remix of “Equilibrium” belongs to Peachlyfe, a Danish musician known for their anarchist spirit, blending the rave rush with a drive of queer resistance to intense experiences. In the remix, the structural blueprint is strengthened with a gentle and meticulously measured interpretation; the care with which one artist approaches the story of another is clearly visible. Similar to Newa's personal experience, a middle ground between transformation and balance can also be noticed here.

“Equilibrium,” on the one hand, tells a very intimate, individual story and, on the other, echoes the challenging task this era has set for itself—the need for action and evolution despite the loneliness, emptiness, stillness, and emotional contention of the environment—all of this being a uniting force, bringing the listener into one big community; “Equilibrium” responds to a person's ability persisting into active development through a repetitive and monotonous context. Harmonious syncopes and airy fragmentation within the monumental framework are a metaphor for this, preparing not the destruction of an immovable internal constitution but for simultaneous change.

echoes of September

Aurora – Hypnotic Deep Trance Journey

Aurora ist ein tiefgehendes, atmosphärisches Trance-Album, das die Zuhörer:innen auf eine hypnotische Reise durch pulsierende Basslines, fließende Arpeggios und sphärische Soundlandschaften mitnimmt. Jeder Track baut behutsam Spannung auf, verschmilzt treibende Rhythmen mit melancholisch-melodischen Synth-Layern und entfaltet eine tranceartige Wirkung, die sowohl für nächtliche Clubsets als auch für introspektives Hören geschaffen ist. Inspiriert von den Farben und Bewegungen des Nordlichts, reflektiert Aurora den Zauber eines kosmischen Tanzes – emotional, treibend und zeitlos.

HOTLINE MIAMI 2: WRONG NUMBER

“Digital Sunset” is a nostalgic dive into the neon haze of the late ‘90s — where VHS dreams flicker on static screens, and analog synths hum with the warmth of forgotten memories. Blending retro-futuristic melodies with modern production, this album captures the feeling of cruising under city lights, lost between the past and tomorrow.

Each track paints a scene — from the hum of an electric boulevard at midnight to the soft glow of CRT reflections on sleepless nights. It’s music for night drives, for rainy windows, for remembering what never was.

Let the synths shimmer, the drums pulse, and the nostalgia wash over you. Welcome to the soundtrack of a future that lived in the past.
