Next in our mix series, Teng takes us on a journey to Tai Long Wan. Much like the hike itself, the mix starts with some sweaty uphill beats then arrives at a tranquil destination.

來自美國洛杉磯的製作人Liquid Earth，以Urulu名義遠渡香江在宀與我們一起慶祝踏入2019年新年。Urulu不忘香港，特地製作了一個mix set名為「Ferry to Lamma Island」，音樂型格亦豐層次，滿載著對香港的美好回憶。

本名Taylor Freels，於全球新冠肺炎之初開始以Liquid Earth之名為新製作人代號，現今已發行兩張EP，也在美英兩地的獨立廠牌Butter Side Up、 TerraFirm及 Lemak Records旗下推出其製作。
宀期待Taylor再次踏足香港。

Liquid Earth (LA) played at 宀 New Years of 2019, under the Alias Urulu. He lovingly shipped over a mix as a memory of his visit. “Ferry to Lamma Island” is an eclectic, undulating, sensation of layered sounds. Upbeat and mesmerising, with hints of Hong Kong.

Taylor Freels birthed Liquid Earth at the beginning of the pandemic and has already self-released two EP’s, released on Butter Side Up (Leeds), TerraFirm (Pittsburgh) and Lemak Records (LA).

NAKT 008 - Daria Kolosova

UK dance music has always been defined by its eclecticism. And few artists capture that better than @yazzus-1. Both her sets and her productions are turbocharged tornados that collide rave, breakbeat, techno, jungle and footwork. They are playful and knowingly over-the-top, take in plenty of bootlegged edits and have landed her on labels like Diplo's Mad Decent, Mall Grab's Steel City Dance Discs and the legendary Hospital. She co-runs her own Rave Litany party and has DJed as part of the 6 Figure Gang so basically never takes her foot off the gas, whatever she is doing. 

It is no surprise then that this week's mix is one of the most hard-hitting we have had in a while. Everything is turned up to 11, from the fast mixing style to the faster beats. It explores all kinds of techno from bass heavy to twitchy, raved-up to old-school nose-bleed. Later on, there are warp-speed explorations of juke, footwork and club that leave you gasping for breath but desperate for more. Strap in!

Dekmantel Podcast 396 - Yazzus

Kerrie started a label called Dark Machine Funk, a name which hints toward the kind of music she plays. And while the Irish artist might be a capital-T techno DJ, her idea of "dark" is a little different than the black-clad legions of her generation. You won't find whiplash-inducing BPMs or racy pop edits in her sets. Her idea of techno is more classicist, without veering towards the stuffy or the retro. Her DJIng and her productions bridge the divide between Euro and  American styles. Hints of breakbeat or other broken patterns bring in ideas from the UK techno that she loves so much, such as the pivotal label Blueprint, where she's become a regular  as of late.

With her, the devil's in the details (listen to those deliciously twisted hi-hats in recent track "Transient Belief"), and that comes down to mixing records, too. Her RA Podcast is a fast but measured run-through of 90 minutes of techno by artists like Exium and Tensal and from labels such as Token and Soma. Though none of her own tunes make the tracklist, this mix perfectly captures Kerrie's style. She's someone who appreciates that the real power and force of techno comes from its groove, not just the impact of the kick drum or pure speed.

Kaspiann delivers a psychedelic trip on DSS 089. Going from swampy trance to techno loopers and back, the Helsinki based artist does not disappoint. Forging this mix with a specific scene in mind: the full-body immersion and psychological surrender of deep, compelling club music transmitted through a dimly-lit, hazy space over an imposing, physical soundsystem. Play this one loud.

For Viscera 130, Yu Su joins the series with a live recording taken from our party on the 14th December at the one and only Love Inn.

"Kaifeng-born, now London-based Yu Su is a musician, DJ, sound artist and occasional chef. As one of the most prominent Chinese artists with a highly unique voice working across the globe in the last 5 years, her output covers all the ground you’d expect and more. Her multiple critically acclaimed records on UK’s Technicolor (Ninja Tune), Netherlands’s Music from Memory and China’s own Bie Records has seen her nominated for Canada’s Polaris Prize. She has co-produced music with John Carroll Kirby, Duval Timothy and is known for remix works for Parquet Courts, King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard, and many more. As a DJ, she is unpredictable, idiosyncratic; just “casually having the dance floor transfixed” have put her on the spotlights at clubs and festivals internationally like Dekmantel, Glastonbury, Boiler Room, iii Points, Nuits Sonores, Rainbow Disco Club, Phonox and so on. She has also recently been featured on the cover of Mixmag magazine, marking the first Chinese cover star. She has composed for feature films and fashion brands like Sacai, Jimmy Choo and London/Shanghai based SAMUEL GUÌ YANG."

Enjoy!

Regis and Function's first mix in over 10 years is a unique paean to Silent Servant, heavy on unreleased material.

When it came time for RA to compile our Albums of the 2010s, one record with a tauntingly limited availability of 500 copies was never in doubt: Sandwell District's era-defining 'Feed-Forward'. Encompassing Karl O'Connor (Regis), Peter Sutton (Female), David Sumner (Function) and Juan Mendez (Silent Servant), Sandwell District had the underground in a vice grip for over a decade.

The collective imploded in 2013, with Sumner and O'Connor's relationship appearing beyond repair. And yet, an unlikely second phase is here, featuring imminent comeback LP 'End Beginnings' and their return to the RA Podcast after 16 years. In 2023, the trio of Function, Regis and Silent Servant had been performing and laying down new material before the latter's shock death last January. It's in the shadow of loss that this unique mix was forged.

Founded in 2002 as a spiritual sister to seminal Downwards, Sandwell truly began to hit its straps in the late '00s, as shadow-stalking cuts sliced through clubland orthodoxy like a switchblade. In parallel, the label's artwork—a noir recombination of Burroughs cut-ups, DIY zines and arthouse amour that Silent Servant made his own—helped fortify a movement which placed an aesthetic premium on grit, grain and sadism.

By the early 2010s, this fixation on the dark arts had utterly permeated the mood inside techno's masonic temples. Labels like Blackest Ever Black, Stroboscopic Artefacts, Avian and Modern Love were in their pomp, razorwire legends like Severed Heads and Chris & Cosey benefited from second winds, and it was briefly a jailable offence to not have a press photo in black and white. 'Feed-Forward' was the exceptional coronating statement.

RA.978 features a stack of unheard recordings from each of the trio, as well as close allies Stefanie Parnow and Tropic of Cancer, while also gathering many of Silent Servant's all-time favourite songs, including Psychic TV, Grace Jones and Galaxie 500. It's a strikingly vulnerable listen, one without many parallels on the Podcast. We're glad to run it. – Gabriel Szatan

Beyond her operatic range and visceral piano work, American singer Diamanda Galás’ career is a study in defiance - channeling the horrors of the AIDS crisis, political injustice, and human suffering into performances that blur the lines between classical, avant-garde, and the demonic. From collaborations with John Paul Jones to transcendent solo works, her presence is singular, and her impact undeniable.

While gearing up for our 11 Years Bday coming weekend we have a mix from Bond, tipped by our lovely resident TITIA 

Bond is a DJ from Buenos Aires and a member of the LGBTQIA+ collective LOCA, He is the founder and director of Radio LOCA and LOCA Rec, platforms dedicated to consciously promoting and representing the careers of queer and dissident artists from Latin America.

This mix is a journey through the current pulse of the queer electronic scene in the Global South. A showcase of the sound of Buenos Aires, featuring tracks by fellow local producers, unreleased gems, and previews of Bond’s upcoming EP out in May via Pansa Records. 

Track highlight 
Pleasure Pump – “Fantasize Me” (Original 12’’ Club Mix)
One of the few tracks in the mix that’s neither current nor part of the local scene, but it stands out as a tribute to the roots of dance and desire, a highlight that directly connects with the queer legacy of clubbing

Thanks Sergio! <3

Mix001 - Misty Penguin (香港)

宀 is a music venue in the very heart of Hong Kong focused on bringing people together through carefully selected electronic music acts and cultural activities. The 100-capacity venue will bring a roster of leading international performers while nurturing local and regional talent.

宀 (pronounced "mihn" is the Chinese Radical 40 with a different pronunciation according countries. It has no literal meaning but can be likened to a roof or shelter. This is a place where you can express yourself freely. This place is for dancing. This is a place to learn. This is safe space where you will not be harassed, discriminated, criticised or harmed emotionally or physically. This is a place where all Races, Genders and Sexual identities are welcome. To safeguard this vision, there will be a no-photo policy applied inside the club.

宀 has been imagined by a group of music and audiophile enthusiasts who have chosen a Funktion One soundsystem in a room carefully engineered by one of the region's leading experts in acoustics.

「宀」是一個位於香港中心地帶的全新音樂場地，宗旨在於希望能夠透過精心挑選的電子音樂以及其他文化藝術活動，將人們聚集起來。這個能夠容納100人左右的場地，不只將帶來國際型的表演者，也將會成為亞太區、本地菁英的培育地。

「宀」這個中文字的部首在不同國家有不同的發音，在字形上像是一個屋頂、一個藏身處。這是一個你/妳可以自在表現自己的地方。這是一個你/妳可以盡情跳舞的地方。這是一個你/妳可以找尋人生的地方。這是一個歡迎所有種族、性別、性傾向認同的地方。為了保護這樣的宗旨，在這裡禁止所有拍照攝影的行為。

「宀」的靈感啟發是來自於一群熱愛音樂及音響系統的同好，也因此他們選擇了Funktion One音響，並精準的由香港一位傳音效果專家特別為這個場地量身訂製調整而成。
