Following the release of Faulter’s Obstinacy earlier this year, we’ve turned two long-standing CF regulars and welcome two newcomers to provide their takes on the label co-founder’s debut club collection.

As with the original, the remix EP unfolds in 2 halves: a pair of minimal-rooted 4-to-the-floor club tools, followed by a heady ‘B-side’ steeped in techno and IDM.

Label mainstay Syz kicks things off with a bouncy rendering of the title track in signature production style with his ‘Space Carnival Mix’, while the elusive B. McQueen dives into Zaf, providing a skippy, rolling tech-house backbone that brings the dubby elements of the original track into full club mode.

On the flip, it’s a genuine pinch-me moment at CFHQ to feature one of our all-time favourites, Forest Drive West, transforming Perspectives into an unforgettable slo-mo chug-dub-techno trip full of the intensity only he can deliver. Rounding off, our best-loved Bristolian Yushh leans into the 90bpm range with her Swamp-pusher remix, a twisted headfuck of a beat (good luck dancing to this one), reminiscent of early Squarepusher productions.

"'Ao Pō, Daynight' is a waiata (song) to remind you to keep strong in your centre and in your rangimārie (sense of peace) when everything around you is rapidly changing," says vocalist Huia.

The award-winning electro-Māori artist is on the cusp of the release of 'KAWAKAWA', an album that fuses rich imagery in te reo Māori (Māori language) with more modern musical soundscapes. 'Ao Pō, Daynight', a liquid-leaning drum & bass track produced by Sean Richards, is an uplifting journey exploring Huia's own experiences of gatherings around music she's had in the last four years.

"These intense experiences are in polarity to my Aotearoa life, but I thrive in these moments too. Being able to express this lyrically in my ancestral language of te reo Māori with electronic music feels so good for my manawa (spirit/being), and I hope the listener will experience this," she shared.

'KAWAKAWA's release coincides with a launch party taking place at WHAMMY Bar tomorrow, Friday, October 10, hosted by Kog & Hūhā Music.

PREVIEWS: Faulter - Obstinacy: Reworked (Forest Drive West, Yushh, Syz & B. McQueen remixes)

Berlin-based Mexican artist Viiaan unveils her new EP “Taiko”, a bold four-track exploration of rhythm, ritual, and futuristic bass. The title, “Taiko,” is drawn from the Japanese word for “drum,” symbolizing both the instrument itself and the communal force of ancient drumming ceremonies.
Across the EP, Viiaan fuses primal percussion with razor-sharp digital textures, shaping rhythm into pure motion.
The opening track, “Taiko,” sets the tone with glitchy micro-sounds that feel alive, mechanical yet organic. Massive drum strikes collide with synthetic fragments, evoking a futuristic tribal ritual.
“Amaterasu” continues with breakbeat ferocity, drenched in juicy percussion while a vocal slides in with raw confidence, charging the track with direct, physical energy. “Elohalo” shifts gears into rolling trap-inspired rolls, sub-heavy grooves and driving percussion. Its vocal accents keeping the intensity taut and immediate. Finally, “Azkhar” digs deeper — heavy, spacious, and alive with rhythmical chopped reese drones and flowing tribal grooves.
Between mechanical precision and primal power, the EP captures rhythm as a timeless human language — ancient in spirit, modern in execution.

About Viiaan

Viiaan, the sonic alchemist from Mexico City, has transplanted her musical vision to the streets of Berlin, where she continues to shape a world of sound that defies categorization. Active as a producer, DJ, and curator since 2017, she stands at the crossroads of experimental electronics and club culture.
As the visionary force behind Voragine, a label that serves as a meeting point for artists working across experimental sound, and visual art, Viiaan’s work blurs the lines between the introspection and the physical. 
Her sound is a living organism: breaks, intricate percussions, ambient atmospheres,  left field bass,  and techno intertwine to form a sonic language that refuses containment. It's a symphony of diversity that refuses to be confined, and this refusal is the lifeblood of her artistic vision.
Her discography reads as a journey with releases on Woozy Dub (Dublin), Sumac (Berlin/Sydney), Causal Chain (Montreal), WVWV (CDMX), and her own imprint, Voragine. Each release reveals another facet of her evolving artistry. 
Beyond the studio, Viiaan curates two distinct sonic experiences: Raeve and Ambient 4 Babies, gatherings that dissolve the boundary between performer and listener, inviting audiences into immersive worlds of rhythm, reflection, and club culture.
