My Name Is Tiga - BBC 6 Radio, 12.10.12

I loved this one! Very few people are as knowledgeable, articulate and curious as Benji- and we got into so many different elements of dj culture, music, A&R, Public Enemy, jungle, Fabio, wedding music, sound system culture, fashion.... really it could have been a 10hr episode. And listen to his twist on the regular format: he curated his dream party—- complete with 7 rooms and 31djs. This ones for the heads- Let’s do this.

First/Last Party on Earth 11 - Benji B

Our Global Mix series stops off in Scotland today, as we welcome the Pentland Park duo to the hot seat, with an hour of uplifting, yet moody electro, breaks and house club ready tracks. 

We first featured Glasgow DJs and producers Pentland Park back in November 2020, as we premiered their track titled 'Overcast', for La La' on her label, Brand New Records. The 4 track EP, which featured a KETTAMA remix got us thinking, "we have to get a mix from them", so here we are, a Global Mix from RJay & Kris, aka Pentland Park.

Pentland Park aka RJay & Kris are two best friends from Glasgow, who first met as resident DJ’s at the ‘Don’t Drop’ parties. Flash forward some years and the pair are now working together in the studio and on the decks. Taking much inspiration from their deep obsession with electronic music they are also trying to bring something different to the table with their productions & DJ sets.

For the next hour, stick the Pentland Park mix on and let it soundtrack your Thursday afternoon.

Second State’s latest release is a special one — the debut LP from talented German producer @wigbert. Stepping up for his first full-length, he demonstrates why he’s a firm favorite among so many. The Distorted Matter LP showcases his affinity for both atmospheric mood pieces and pummeling club cuts, the sign of a producer with more than one trick up his sleeve. 

“Uncertainty” opens the album in an ominous tone. As its name suggests, it creates a feeling of unease, even horror, as macabre drones blare underneath bleepy arpeggios. Later on the LP, on “Error 404”, this mood is revisited, with bleeps and static signifying that something has gone awry. The second track on the record, “Reflection” is its hardest hitting. Ice-cold stabs, a pumping kick and driving rhythms send the track into overdrive before creepy arps and drums come back in. It’s complex, layered and unrelenting. 

Night Vision” is threaded with warped off-kilter rhythms, while “Xcelerator” is charged with nervous energy, echo FX and prickling percussion. Other tracks on the LP share this latter mood, such as “Digital Mirroring”, with its windblown synths, distorted vox and broken beats, while the title track heralds a different variety of sounds. The beats on it are also chunky, but the airy pads place it in a more ethereal category. “Drone Level” is similarly lighter in spirit, with arps shimmering over the sound of running water.

The rest of the LP continues in this is more pensive vein, with the rhythms of “Focus” loping under twinkling, reverbed synths, before “Transformed” closes the album in a delicate melange of dreamy pads, chopped up beats, and sounds that mimic insects and nature.
