Australian Kia very quickly rose up through the grimy after-hours rave scene of Melbourne to make her mark on the international stage. Now Berlin-based, her unique grasp of rhythm is rooted in a love of bass, IDM and deeper techno though she is adept at exploring a wide range of moods within those worlds. She has done so at places like ADE and our own festival and extends her good taste to the curation of her Animalia imprint and its ambient sub-label Cirrus as well as her own original tracks on Nous'klaer Audio.

In this week's mix, Kia showcases a colourful and kaleidoscopic take on techno which she says was awakened by an early trip to Japan's famously head Labyrinth festival. It's a hi-fidelity feast of supple rhythms, icy synths and deep space ambiance that unfolds in late-night fashion. The melodies are as delicate as silk, the drums rubbery yet punchy. It's high-paced future music that manages to be as delicate and beautiful as it is dynamic.

Next up on Disintegrated we welcome yet another rising talent from the Emerald Isle. Chris Flannigan’s contribution to the Disintegrated catalogue, presents the Irishman’s quintessential sound.

Whilst hard groove at its core, the EP toggles between shades of dub, ghetto and house throughout the original mixes. Swashbuckling basslines set the tone amongst a mirage of old school vocals and tribal percussion.

Both CULT & Ned Bennett assume remix duties, contributing their own interpretations which rely on heavy 909 percussion, gnarly Reese basses as well as melancholic chord stabs.

Tracklist:

Chris Flannigan - Detroit
Chris Flannigan - Internationally Known
Chris Flannigan - Siesta
Chris Flannigan - Where Ya From
Chris Flannigan - Detroit (CULT Remix)
Chris Flannigan - Where Ya From (Ned Bennett Remix)

Chris Flannigan - Where Ya From (Ned Bennett Remix) [DEP07]

Over the holidays, Googie and Cape Esan decided to record a special mix with the purpose of immortalizing a special moment in their friendship – a mix to capture and commemorate the relay race of recovery they’ve been running for some time. Aligned into a place of wellness where they carried the torch together by recovering and reflecting through the healing power of music, they wish for you to enjoy these sentimental tracks from their deep crates. Consume their thick cuts of squishy techno, house, jazz, acid, and effervescent sensations. 

If you find yourself in a place of struggle, reach out – it gets better.

@animisticbeliefs bring energy and innovation in equal measure whenever they serve up one of their electrifying sets or thrilling tunes. They are most at home when on stage cooking up captivating mixes of IDM, club music and drum & bass with smart infusions of influences from South East Asia and a sense of spiritualism that sees all things as equal. Their productions have come on labels like Cultivated Electronics and Pinkman and always push technical and emotional boundaries. 

The pair will be joining us at Dekmantel Festival 2024 in August and here offer up a teaser of what you might get: darkly involving moods, industrial textures and otherworldly timbres that are paired to a wide range of rhythms and tempos. There is a looseness to the set that keeps your body in constant motion while the details woven in between the beats keep your mind just as busy. From unusual instrumentation to foreign language vocals, this is an action-packed selection for peak-time dance floor fun.

Dekmantel Podcast 454 - Animistic Beliefs

Priori (@priori-ties) has always explored a wide range of techno from dense and introspective to more joyous, often against the backdrop of technological possibilities. He hails from Canada and has been prolific since first emerging with two full-lengths to his name on his own NAFF label. They pair dubby undercurrents with crystalline melodies and contain the sort of unresolved tensions that keep you locked in for the ride. This weekend he plays Dekmantel Naarm 2024 but first has served up this new mi for us.

Priori says this is the first dance mix he's done in a long time, adding "It's an hour and a half of fresh rhythms and rave sounds that I recorded while on tour in Australia. It features a few tracks I have been playing a lot lately and some forthcoming bits by myself and some friends." In just over 90 minutes he works through a rollercoaster of deep techno rhythms that are firmly focused on the future and flow as fluidly as water.

Hiii, Octo Octa here! I'm sharing a new mix series I'm doing under the name "Groovy Girl" and the first entry is "Bang The Drum" <3 

It is a house and acid percussive groover of a mix that will hopefully have you raving where ever you are. Mixed on two Technics 1210 M5Gs and a Pioneer A9 Mixer, plus some overdubs on the recording. 

This release is a Mix CD tracked so you can jump back over and over to your favorite part. The CD insert has photos of all of the records I used for the mix in order.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it. Can't wait to get started on the next in the series!!
