The producer and DJ Nina Kraviz is one of the most famous and successful artists in the techno world. Born in Irkutsk, Siberia, she fell in love with electronic music through listening to radio transmissions. Kraviz initially moved to Moscow to study dentistry, and after a brief stint in her band MySpaceRocket, she went solo with a string of productions on Efdemin's Naïf, Jus-Ed's Underground Quality, and Matt Edwards' Rekids. Her 2011 single “Ghetto Kraviz” and subsequent eponymous debut album catapulted her to into the spotlight, but she continued building her legacy as a champion of the underground with her expertly curated трип label. We spoke to Kraviz hot off the release of her new single “Skyscrapers”—her first solo release since 2019, and a bold journey into pop music. In this rare interview, Kraviz talks about her connection to home, her unusual career journey, and her love of the pop sounds of Roxy Music and using her voice as an instrument.

Continuing the series of reissues from the Tresor catalogue, Tresor Records announces an updated version of the classic Regis and Female long-player, Againstnature.

Originally released in the year 2000, the album represents a pivotal moment in the emergence of the “Birmingham Sound”; a stripped-back sub-genre of Techno, pioneered around this time in the English hub by artists such as Regis, Female, and Surgeon. 
Influenced more by Industrial, Music Concrete, and EBM than from the melodic sounds of its Detroit predecessor, Regis later described the music as being made with a fractured pop sensibility which created a sound that may be faceless but by design loses none of the soul of its American counterpart.

Nowhere is this sonic changing of the guard more apparent than in opening track, Washing My Hands, which sets the stage with a vignette of field recordings: arc welders, water boilers and other sounds reminiscent of industrial workshops reframe your senses, placing your mind into a familiar yet unsettling dreamlike space. From this soundscape emerges a high-pitched, vitreous noise heralding the jarring introduction of Let Them Bleed, the first of several trance-inducing tracks on the album such as Join Us In Paradise, and Guiltless, which layer percussive and sampled loops creating what Peter Sutton (aka Female) described as exotic hypnotics.

This remastered edition of Againstnature also features the additional track, Theme From Streetwalker, previously only available on Volume 6 of the Tresor Compilation series. Collected together the album is a key work in the progression of this sub-genre to the dominant form of Techno heard in clubs in Berlin and around the world today.

THE MOSKALUS MIX SERIES #139: Pink Concrete

Calling inner worlds
the outer-worlds
The Underworld
the over-worlds.
I will come when I’m called
for the New World
in a new shift.
Plot twist,
no scripts! 
a magnetic rift
shadow in the mist,
what have I to give
I give my Love.

None of us, is as good as all of us.
all of us is as good as good enough.
you better show up to yourselves,
to show up to the collective,
riegn, Reclaimed
you better show up to yourselves,
to show up to the collective,
flame...

It's time to make the world again

Life is short & art is long
a golden thread an ancient song
who would have thought it'd be this way
it comes around to you one day
what can I save from the flood
a common voice in the blood 
No one owns what we know
& what we know won't let us go

None of us, is as good as all of us.
All of us is as good as good enough.
You better show up to yourselves
Feed the wave until it swells
The reign, of your pain
You better show up to yourselves 
Walk the road less travelled 
Through the flame

It's time to make the world again

MEATcast S_03_E_01 - Electric Indigo, Shilla Strelka, Wolfgang Sauter (Aufzeichnung vom 9.9.22)

Sonnorus expresses her presence by providing undoubtedly bold sets which include hypnotic, psychedelic, electric, deep sounds, and pure energy. The rising multidisciplinary artist from Tbilisi's underground scene is never afraid to show off her honest character with trance tunes shaped in classy techno beats. She gets her inspiration from different kinds of art, and often creates and shares her own because the power of an idea is never shaped in one form.

f:p podcast episode_123 Sonnorus

A genre-blending, soul-baring concept album that explores the emotional fallout of digital overload, compulsive longing, fractured identity, and the desire for escape. From the dark dopamine rush of food and dating apps in “Binge,” to the existential emptiness of arrival in “Uber Nowhere,” to the aching plea for silence in “Reset,” these tracks fuse pop, alt-rock, soul, and hip-hop into cinematic, deeply relatable anthems. Glam theatricality collides with raw soul and grand piano lines. All finished with sweeping arrangements to create a soundscape that’s as addictive as the compulsions it critiques. Every song is a cry for connection in a world that won’t stop buzzing. For everyone stuck between the scroll and the soul — this album hits home and hard.
