Another Barker masterclass.

Sam Barker asks more from techno. The artist known simply as Barker is one of electronic music's most consistently conscientious and curious producers, challenging listeners to question the norms we accept about our shared culture—whether it's the music that fills the room, the process behind it, or the purpose of the space itself.

British-born yet based in Berlin since 2007, Barker forged a connection to many of the city's leading institutions, including Ostgut Ton, and over the course of a long and fruitful relationship, he carved out one of the more singular paths on the club and label's roster.

Not one for orthodoxy, Barker challenged four-to-the-floor techno framework in favor of melodic experimentation. By decentering or completely stripping away the typical trappings of kick drums and claps, his productions are both light and immersive, buoyant in low-end presence and shimmering in weightless space.

Six years after Utility, his sophomore album Stochastic Drift arrives this month. Shaped by pandemic-driven reinvention, it burrows deeper into harmonic twists and freeform drift. "At some point I became conscious of the process," he wrote of his latest album. "The only thing you can do is embrace the uncertainty and see every change as a potential positive.”

Consider his RA Podcast another sequel. Like his much-beloved 2019 mix for FACT, it's a collage of live recordings and a fitting expression of the artist's own internal spring. RA.982 radiates wide-eyed optimism: percussion cloaked in foggy, swirling pads and trance-like chords, neatly synched in synthetic glimmers. 

All in all, it's an hour of music crafted for contemplation, collective euphoria, or heads-down epiphany—or for that matter, any moment, really, its emotive depth seemingly endless.

RATRACE Record selection / mix Showreel Vol. 2

A year later, PHASESTORM Mix is BACK 

Volume 2 returns with one and a half hour set. During the set, l dive into tracks that have recently caught my interest. Bpm 135 (+/-10), Continuing with the strangeness, letting the tunes interact and bring out their chemical reactions. Focus, let the sound flow and see where it leads.

Mixing tunes taught me to let go. Telling the matter of fact that you are not the same person you were yesterday, a minute ago or even a second ago. Allow yourself to change and grow. 

It’s okay to stumble, what matters is getting back up and moving forward again. Be easy on yourself when you make mistake — learn from them and move on.

A few fragments splinter off, but you remain whole.🦢

Rhodri Price – Gottwood Festival 2025: Haŵs Takeover (Curve Stage)

<tfo>'s debut album surface_sounds intertwines melodic textures and down-tempo grooves.  It can be enjoyed as 21st century make-out music, the perfect soundtrack for a dimly lit lounge.  Beyond this, the album conjures a more unique, unnamable environment, sometimes sleepy, sometimes spooky, usually sexy, and invites the listener to linger there for a while.
  In the making of surface_sounds, <tfo> combined expertly crafted synth sounds and uniquely programmed rhythms with violin, viola, harmonica, percussion, and vocals.  In the post-modern tradition of the great Brian Eno, the listener cannot always tell what is "live" and what is sampled; the actual identity of an instrument may also be difficult to discern, as every element is subsumed in the confident vision of <tfo> mastermind Timothy O'Keefe.  Tim's interest in electronic music began with programming sounds into his now-antique Casio1000 at the age of 14, after being inspired by the synthesizer-driven music of the 80's.  A passion for the flourishing world of house music and electronica soon followed, and in the early 90's Tim organized some of the first raves in the Northeastern United States, booking international talent for his Rave Called Quest warehouse events.  In 1994, Tim became a touring keyboardist for the electronic/pop band The Waterlillies (Kinetic/Sire), which led in turn to a stint in New York City working for Kinetic Records and absorbing the vibrant music scene, as well as the culture of business and the business of culture.  In 1996 he returned to the relative quiet of Providence in his native state of Rhode Island, to develop his artistic and production skills away from the hubbub.
  Taking up residence at the internationally recognized arts space AS220, Tim quickly became, and has remained, one who makes things happen in and outside of Providence.  He was the curator of Frequency Lounge, a monthly multi-media showcase that hosted renowned performers like Austrian electronic music pioneer Joachim Rodelius, Kid Clayton, The Silver Apples, and Sonic Boom.
  Tim's musical collaborators have been many and varied, including Joachim Rodelius (Cluster, Cluster & Eno), Oliver Chesler (Things to Come Records), Aaron Spectre (Moonbunny Records), and Denard Henry (Cipher Productions).  He has also created music for the Playstation2 game "Frequency", for the 2001 MTV Music Awards, and for a variety of film and theatre productions, including puppeteer Heather Henson's "Migrations".  More technical credits include remixing material for Network recording artist Erin McKeown, and creating drum tracks for Johnny Vicious.  Tim's solo work has been written up in the July 2003 UK and the August 2003 Spain issue of Future Music Magazine, and popped up in various independent films and documentaries including Miquel Coyula's "The Plastic Fork", winner of Best Soundtrack at the Cineplaza Film Festival in Havana, Cuba, 2001.
