* Clicks & Cuts Series is a compilation series from the German music label Mille Plateaux. It features various experimental electronic artists to give an example of the sound and variety of the glitch music movement of the early 2000s. So far, six volumes have been released.
The term "clicks & cuts" was first used by an English journalist writing about glitch music and the Mille Plateaux label.

*Mille Plateaux is a label for experimental electronic music. 
Genres like Clickhop, Glitch, Clicks & Cuts etc. were largely influenced (and named) if not formed by the label. 
The name "Mille Plateaux" (A Thousand Plateaus) initially stemmed from a concept and same-titled principal work by French philosopher Gilles Deleuze, who himself gave approval of its use to the original label founder.

French duo DAT Politics returns this spring with their eleventh full-length LP 'Substage.' On the verge of their twenty-fifth year as a project, DAT Politics continue to explore themes of identity and resistance, while also incorporating new sounds into their music. The result is an album that is both familiar in structure yet fresh and exciting in execution. 'Substage' is their most sonically ambitious record to date. Confirming their obsessive taste for robotic turbo-hits, Substage also explores darker areas of their out-of-phase universe. Oscillating furiously between shattered beat-boxes and melodious spleen, saturation and introspection.This techno pop odyssey is a reflection of the current moment in political history, in which the tension between the forces of globalization and nationalism are reaching a fever pitch. In this context, 'Substage' is a kind of protest album that explores what it means to live in an increasingly complex and disconnected world.

’20 Go To 10’ sees ROMsets trade in his dithered beat-scapes for more experimental, off-kilter flavours. Telling a story of error dialogs and rage quits, a twisted lament to all those who experience tech fails. Wonky, battery drained synth plucks prop up the track, while skipping CD drum patterns and found cassette sample snippets take twitchy turns and directions. All interspersed with a pre-AI vocal sample whose calm external tone hides an internal annoyance. This is not left-field, but has left the field entirely, while still sounding unmistakably ROMsets. Strictly for lovers of oddball electronics and those who require total tech decompression.

Of all the Berlin DJs who make a living spinning strange, I'm-not-sharing-the-tracklist kind of records, Sugar Free, originally hailing from Madrid, might be the most fun. She plays bold, colourful tracks with an air of sci-fi and sleaze, somewhere between Italo, hi-NRG, electro and house. (Her Dimensions Mix last year was one of our favourites of 2023.) She's the kind of DJ who messes with your perception of genres and tempos by how she blends tracks together, and also a DJ with a rare grasp of mixing melodies and moods—just check out the first transition of this RA Podcast for a spine-tingling example.

Sugar Free doesn't speak much publicly, and you won't find a lot about her on the internet. She prefers to let her DJing speak for itself. And her RA Podcast says a lot: proggy basslines, heart-in-mouth descents into reverb-heavy breakdowns, eerie vocals and a general feel of psychedelia and '80s decadence. It's difficult to tell what era these records are from, which is part of the charm. For a bonus point, try and pick out two just-completed Sugar Free originals, some of her first productions ever after her debut track came out on Limousine Dream in 2022.

Lyrics

Verse
in the garden there’s a man 
who sits on his hands
watching the world go by
he’s innocent of all things
except maybe guilt 
that he hasn’t done enough or even tried

he’s closed his eyes so he didn’t see a thing 
but if you ask him he’ll probably just lie

talk is cheap and you buy heaps with your two cents
no real opinion you just sit on the fence
commenting breathlessly you’re just making noise
your words have no meaning your voice is annoying

a woman on this train is lost in a game
trying to get the squares to line up
she’s washed her hands 
so her conscience is clean 
and anyway she’s reached her stop
   
she’s blocked her ears so she didn’t hear a thing, 
and if you ask her she won’t bother replying.
