Mixed from St. Petersburg by @amdience

We are opening the new season of our mix series with a thunderous mixtape of Lady Amdience aka Diana Gladchenko, a Saint-Petersburg selector who is predicted to have a great future by the local selectors community, and personally I would call her a “golden hand selection”, where you can feel a tremulous love for Bristol — the place where the musicians experiment without stopping and do not hesitate in self-expression, what is exactly she demonstrates in her works and everyday life.
This is a winter mix in a good way, which makes you shiver with its industrial sound and the voices of uncompromising women.
Throughout the entire journey, Diana leads us by the hand, rhythmically looking back with a passionate gaze, she seems to be flirting, tempting us, and the next minute she turns back sharply and confidently shoots an incoming track right through your heart❤️‍🔥

«the system is crashed. welcome to the future. follow me. or swallow me. there are spacecakes for breakfast and hot boys for dinner. there is a forest full of neo-soulmates and crypto angels selling themself young for the sake of industrial love. u can ask for an outermost ride and get a haircut for ur butterfly skeleton or ur glass carpet. everything was created in the past, but who do u think u are in the present? no matter who. u are mine».

Renegade Radio Camp - ROMA NEMOV - Mix 24-12-2022

It’s always satisfying to find your way in an unexplored territory. The Other Side can occasionally drift off out of the grid and on this particular occasion it found itself in a more vocally led ground. Still trying to stay true to its origins, the human voice can be heard as a guide or an instrument, bridging the same emotions you might find when they aren’t there. (As is most often the case in this neck of the woods)…

«В подборке треков сделал акцент на сцену Бельгии и Нидерландов от 70-х до наших дней, в основном, кассетные записи, которые находил, проживая в Антверпене, а что-то найдено в соулсике. Микс начинается с комичного звонка Дениса Тифуса на случайный номер, впоследствии транслируемый на местном радио, а заканчивается единственной записью Патрика Конрада — фламандского поэта и киносценариста. В 1972 году поэты Ник ван Брюгген и Конрад основали группу Pink Poets, состоящую из художников Антверпена, их объединяла любовь к качественным ресторанам и алкоголю. Поэтому наверно цель микса (если таковая есть) — приготовить вкусный ужин пасмурным вечером и выпить пару бутылок крепкого пива»

'Morphing Polaroids' is the debut album by Japanese born Saeko Okuchi alias Saeko Killy for Hamburg-based Bureau B. After moving to Berlin in 2018 Saeko Killy found herself in the orb of Club Sameheads, where she made herself known as a DJ and live performer After releasing her first EP "嘘みたいな世界で踊れ – Dancing Pikapika" with the label Chill Mountain from Osaka in 2021, followed a fruitful Jam session during the pandemic lockdown, resulting in the eleven titles collected together here for the album 'Morphing Polaroids ' produced by Brussels DJ and selector sofa elsewhere. The LP is a contemporary leftfield club sound, effortlessly combining elements of dub, post-punk and kraut with electronic beats.

Back in Japan, Saeko Okuchi started to learn the piano as early as four years old and at sixteen she started to play the guitar. Through her parents influences, Saeko discovered Jazz and Brazilian music. Visiting Techno-Parties in Tokyo awoke her interest in the spheres of electronic dance music. DJs who played renegade club music to the mainstream played an important part in that. Through those DJs, Saeko discovered artists such as Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle, who greatly inspired her with their Industrial sounds. Driven by those impulses, Saeko Killy became a DJ herself. During her time travelling in Brazil, she played at Underground-Parties, organised by the artist collective VOODOOHOP in São Paulo. A context that showed free artistic expressions and broadened her horizons, both politically and musically.

Alongside DJing, different band projects in Tokyo and Berlin became her way of experimenting vocally. A Lo-Fi-Improv-Snapshot of her krautrock-post-punk-esque voice is found on the Vax!-EP (2021) by des Sameheads on the track "Die in Seconds" by the group "Automattenfall". To produce music herself, for her either English or Japanese lyrics, she began to experiment with Synthesizers. 

After the release of the first Saeko Killy EP (2021), the Belgian scene DJ and producer soFa elsewhere asked her to contribute vocals on his song "The Dream" ("All My Friends Are Witches", Planet Trip, 2022). The musical collaboration worked out so well that he invited Saeko for an improv Session at his home studio in Brussels:

"The whole process was started during the pandemic – I was very depressed at home and soFa pulled me out of Berlin to Brussels. So I can see through the songs, it was also a process to find my own fire again. The fire looked out but was actually still burning silently; looks changing, and morphing, but still there, coming back, again and again."

The meandering described by Saeko Killy during the production process is reflected in the album title as well as in the lyrics and sound of the entire record especially the lyrics to "Sun Shower" and "Intimate Flame” which describe the resurgence of her artistic vigour after it being dulled down and paralysed by the pandemic lockdown. The two found out that they complement each other delightfully and had much fun recording many tunes, from which this album came into being. This interplay virtually challenges the intuitively emerging lyrics. Almost rapped the voice becomes an instrument. 'Morphing Polaroids' casts a spell as psychedelic dance music, which unfolds its magic through a certain form of opposing disturbance, similar to the Japanese avant-garde.

The past feels heavier when it’s slowed

Nostalgia will be the death of me (Slowed + Reverb)

Mitai, diseñadorx sonorx, violonchelista y DJ radicadx en Argentina, presenta su nuevo álbum "Xtent" a través de Machete. Una obra que cuestiona el espacio, la experiencia y la memoria desde una perspectiva íntima y experimental.

Con una base de paisajes de cuerdas surrealistas, "Xtent" explora el paso del tiempo y la relación con la sensación táctil del espacio, tejiendo sonidos encontrados, ruidos ásperos y narrativas sonoras que expanden los límites de la escucha.

What is in the Museum Of No Art? Not paintings, but visions. Not sculptures, but empty spaces full of potential. It is within this inverted gallery that Mona Steinwidder traces fabulous forms with voice, sampler, synthesizer, clarinet and effects. Under the moniker Museum Of No Art, she has created an album that floats in a hazy lacuna between realities, rooted in propulsive and deep bass resonance, but also footloose, playfully deconstructing language and mixing in layers of echoing synthetic and organic tones. The fascinating result of these unfettered experiments resonate as an imaginary cadavre-exquis played by DJ Screw, Arthur Russell, Hiroshi Yoshimura, MJ Lallo, Poppy Nogood, and Laurie Anderson.

With a background in fine art and music, over the years Steinwidder has created and released music under the pseudonym Mohna, as part of the experimental pop band Me Succeeds, and collaborates with composer Alexander Schubert and electronic dance music producer Christian Löffler. Recently, shifting her focus more on improvisation and experimental music, she moved to Vienna for six months to concentrate on experimenting with synthesizers, samplers and voice. Her intention was to build a “playground” that would leave space for improvisation and allow for a meditative and intuitive process. This solo exploration allowed her to return home with a new way to play.

“I like this idea of an open and light structure that can grow and transform and leaves space in all directions. Something without a clear beginning and ending. A rough, short note. Today I’m in the mood to sing, but tomorrow I might be in the mood to just float on an ocean of synths or to play a solo on my clarinet. I am a never-ending process and I am many. The Museum Of No Art album is a collection of days and moods, images and circumstances I experienced and immediately recorded in the last year.”
