Taking charge of this week's Rhythmic Culture podcast is Bogotá-born, Miami-based artist Bitter Babe. The up-and-coming electronic music connoisseuse and TraTraTrax affiliate has been pushing for Latinx representation in the electronic music scene for the last 9 years. She is a member of ECO, a Colombian platform that promotes the self-management and interdependence of national and regional electronic ecosystems and a member of Latitudes, a space that aims to amplify labels, collectives and artists from the Latin American electronic music scene.

Her mix is a true 60-minute masterclass in contemporary electronic gems, that touches upon all sorts of rhythms and obscurities for you to discover.

Circular Square is a digital creator coming from South of France based in Brussels and working with technologies such as 3D and computer music. He started his music production at around 14 years old, experimenting by himself the tools of electronic music. His father constructs a strong part of Circular Square’s music culture with early IDM (Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Venetian Snares) but also with free Jazz and UK Jazz.

His music is made for experimental club heads who enjoy complex rhythms and big bass but it also has an IDM vibe ; you can sit on your couch and follow a journey into his digital world where the time is stretchable and every object’s sound design evolves.

DETOUR, Pittsburgh mainstays behind the Hot Mass night of the same name, celebrate 10 years as a label with a double LP of the locally sourced, grassroots techno that’s been their raison d’etre since 2014. DTR-007 is a coming together of DETOUR members, long-time associates, rising local artists and members of the ever-expanding global Pittsburgh diaspora.

The result is a true reflection of the DETOUR ethos; a selection of ten expertly-curated tracks that is more than the sum of its parts; an homage to the city, its producers, DJs, dancers and the outsized influence they’ve had on the global techno underground.

DTR-007 ‘s ode to Pittsburgh electronics spans generations and genres. Booming maximalism from local originator Shawn Rudiman sits beside ace outings from already-accomplished next-gen producers Gladstone Deluxe, Davis Galvin, and Torvvo. After a spree of recent releases on Dark Entries and her own Jacktone imprint, Doc Sleep returns to the label for the first time since her 2016 debut EP with a slice of resonant deep house. Hot Mass co-founder Paul Fleetwood and perennial multidisciplinary favs, slowdanger appear on wax for the first time with levitating cuts of late-night hypnosis. Longtime modular enthusiast Nick Breinich commits a slab of true-school Midwest acid techno while DETOUR co-founders Naeem and Gusto each contribute tracks in signature styles. Naeem’s soaring electro melodics bring the compilation to an emotional peak before Gusto sends it off with an underwater broken beat chiller. The end product is an exhibition of steaming, sometimes-storming, always-deep heat calibrated precisely for your dance floor’s moodier moments.
