For WAS. Series #3 we would like to share the recording of the liveset performed by @arthurrobert and @velauniform on the 15th of September 2018. It was the very first time that they played this modular liveset in front of an audience and it's safe to say that they blew everyone's socks off. Tune in and enjoy a hypnotizing ride of modular synthesis. #modular #techno #livesets #noodles #wasutrecht

OKANISI MOIWANA

Okanisi people are a group Surinamese maroon people who treasured their close traditions and roots which lay in Africa. I admire their strength throughout those years and inspired me alot with this mix.

SARAMAKA RHYTHM

We are excited to present you the newest podcast of our dutch friend MARRØN who has prepared such an energetic power mix for us! 
Be ready for a fast and hypnotic sound.

[selected] podcast 015 w/ MARRØN

It’s time for the 33rd upload already. This podcast is recorded by another DJ/producer from Sweden, but that should be no surprise. Efraim Kent is not a producer that releases many records. We got introduced to his music through a couple of tracks he released with Dorisburg on Tikita. The Moroccan label might be one of the most refreshing upcoming labels if you ask us. Keep an eye out for more Efraim Kent. There’s more to come!

NDYUKA PODCAST #5

MATAWAI PAAMAKA

With the 5th NDYUKA RHYTHM podcast, i've tried to emphasize the groove to the extreme. Deep and groovy at a relatively fast pace, i've aimed for total swing throughout the whole set to give you that jungle rhythm vibe.

MATAWAI PAAMAKA

Endless ways. The dazzling spines rise high and can be seen very well in the fog. In the buzzing haze your heart speaks the same language as our blue eyes. Abstract forms accompany your steps and float energetically around. In the distance I see others who are not like me. They walk in a different direction. But I hurry on full of joy. Have you seduced me so much? 

The young artist Willy Parker ist based near Frankfurt. His love for drone, ethereal and dark-driving sounds raised rapidly and soon he started to produce his own beats. His joy in experimenting is just as big, which is why the genres Ambient and Experimental did not remain undiscovered for long. Willy and his partner created the art and music label SOPTIK. Definately one to watch. Enjoy his vision.

NDYUKA PODCAST #7

KAWINA-LIBA MOENGO

Kawina is the river that leads past Moengo. This is the place in Surinam where most of my family come from. With this new NDYUKA podcast i won't differ much from the others as i went deep into the rhythms and connect with powerful techno.

KAWINA-LIBA MOENGO

What strange times we find ourselves in, friends. It feels like the world was a different place when we published the last episode of our podcast — just one month ago. Today, we have a much-needed hour-long mix of gloriously dark techno from the Frankfurt-based producer @willyxparker. You might recognise him as one of the co-founders of the music / art label @soptikorg, and from his appearance on our compilation ‘Coping Strategies for Progressive Persuasions’, which we released last week (https://soundcloud.com/unknown-movements/sets/coping-strategies-for-progressive-persuasions). Two tracks from that V/A, by @decka-music and Willy Parker himself, are included here. Enjoy, stay healthy, and keep the music coming!

NDYUKA PODCAST #8

KRAKTI KULTURU

This means ‘Powerful Culture’ in Sranan Tongo which is the native Surinamese language. This title says everything about my approach to this mix, as i've recorded it with a closing state of mind. I truly believe that even when playing a bit more direct and faster the essential of groove and rhythm should always be the key element and should never fade away for the sake of just banging out hard tracks. This mix is recorded at 144-146 BPM which is the fastest i’ve played in my podcasts so far. Dedicated to all the people that has supported me heavy throughout this year. You are all being heard and i appreciate all of you guys.

22 Rhythm

Akuma, who was born in Heidelberg and lives in Mannheim, stands for the symbiosis of groovy, mystical, sentimental and aggressive sound, which he has established in the local scene for quite some time with his collective "Raserei" and as "This is Techno"-Gotec Club resident.

His selection ranges from synth- and percussion-based grooves to ruthlessly driving industrial techno and melancholic passages, breakbeats, always carried by rousing, captivating rhythms and enmeshed by dark atmospheres.

NDYUKA PODCAST #9

GAAN-LO GAAMA

There are six marron tribes and each tribe has their own leader named Granman or Gaama. This leader is responsible to keep the marron traditions alive within the nation and is the highest respected man in the Gaan-lo. (marron tribe)

With this mix i've emphasized all the basics i find needed in my sets. 
Fast paced, groovy, edgy pound and mysterious hypnotic sounds on a consistent basis throughout the set.

Follow Hitam: https://soundcloud.com/hitam-electronix

Hitam, a name dedicated to his roots and also the highest possible way to experience music in combination with dance. As a resident of Eerste Communie and a lover of the dance floor, he began his musical journey under the name Optics. Under this alias, he released several EP’s on labels such as Dynamic Reflection and KSR. Just before the summer he decided to change his artist name to Hitam and pursue an image that is closer to him as a person. He has now planned no less than 3 releases for the month of November. You can expect a solo EP on Secession, a collaboration with Temudo on Immaterial Archives and a split EP with Yant on the fast-growing label Platform 22.

All of this brings us to his neat podcast for SALON. He starts by showing a deep and aggressive side of himself with technical highlights, after which he chooses to give the listener a breather with a somewhat warmer, rounder and more organic sound. This versatility says a lot about him as an artist and is the perfect way to kick-off the last series of 2020.
