VA - Volume One [CLIPS]

The first digital-only release on Kulture Galerie is ‘NFTs 999’: 4 tracks from 4 super fresh talents, ready to craft the sound of the label and pave the way for more music to follow.

The EP opens up with Berlin based natebytheway's '1059 to Btwon', a real wonky chugger. UK rising start Duncan Thomas follows with 'Lovelace Street', just the right mix of prog sounds, acid basslines and hypnotic synths! Swedish IDM master Undsidedly offers us the brainy 'Scorch' - an Electro melancholic track driven by beautifully programmed drums. Finally Ireland's Jack Ward offers up a romantic and groovy cut, 'Anything Can Burst an Aquarius Heart': a true testament to Jack's affinity for dreamy melodies and stomping kick drums.

VA - Volume Two [CLIPS]

Natebytheway delivers his new EP ‘Witless Q&A’s via the Filippo MSM helmed Kulture Galerie this February, comprising five original cuts.

Natebytheway is a rising Berlin based producer and DJ dropping dynamic dancefloor bumpers as self-releases via his own bandcamp while just over the horizon is a return to Kulture Galerie following his contribution to the labels NFTS 999 compilation and a single on Gene On Earth’s nug-net imprint.

Opening the EP is ‘varoom’, a twisting and turning jaunt through an amalgamation of twitchy acid squelches, resonant licks, crisp drums and low-pitched vocals. ‘pleaseordermefries’ follows, embracing a more classic deep house aesthetic with shimmering chords, ethereal pad textures, hypnotic vocal chants and heavily swung drums before ‘kennywho’ wanders down the unique path of hip house with warped strings, pulsating subs, hip hop vocal lines and snappy percussion throughout.

‘cloudaddict’ then diverges back into dreamy realms with pillowy soft, cloudy atmospherics and breathy voices floating atop modulating rhythms and snaking bass notes. ‘didyouwant’ finally rounds out the package, flipping the switch entirely to bright vintage keys, a bumpy bass groove, robotic synth licks and saturated disco drums.

GT001 - Natebytheway - Forms Of Flavour EP - CLIPS

I am happy to present our first tape release by The Jaffa Kid as part of the brand new Digital Artefacts series. 

The series is an ode to the sound of the 90s, from Electro, IDM and Jungle to further different experimental stuff and sounds. The choice of tape as format seemed fitting for the aesthetic of the series. 

The first EP comes from UK based The Jaffa Kid (previously on 030303, Dischi Nottetempo, Gated Recordings and more) and is a solid mixture of Electro, Techno and beyond.

Volume Three is a well thought mix of styles, spanning to and from two Trance oriented tracks from Rambal Cochet and The Mesmerist through the broken techno of Doc Sleep, Jack Bags’s all analogue Acid House track, The Jaffa Kid’s uncompromising Drexcian’s Electro and Undsidedly dreamy’s own take on the genre.

@nesaazadikhah returns on Kulture Galerie with a 4 track EP on Filippo MSM’s cassette tape sub-label Digital Artefacts.

With “My World” Nesa tells a personal story of influences and inspirations split in 4 parts / tracks. Each of the tracks is in fact named after who matters the most to the artist: her 2 dogs, her life partner and herself. Sonically the EP is a unique blend of music that Nesa loves and its hard to not fall in love with. The A side is very UK tinged Techno whilst the B side includes a slow chuggy Dark Disco track and a super trippy dub cut. Fall in love with Nesa's life.

Next, analogue enthusiast Perseus Traxx presents a relentless live jam packed with squelchy sounds, while on the flip side, Uncanny Valley’s Herzel teams up with North Macedonia's own L.O.V.D to deliver a slow and chuggy Electro cut.

VA - A Steppe Into The Sphere (DS001) - CLIPS

exclusive | Natebytheway - Snazzy init | Beatnik Collective

With Beatnik Collective stepping into its third chapter, the Manchester label - helmed by Adam and Rossa - ushers in its first full artist EP, “Hardtoknow” by Natebytheway. The four-tracker marks both an end and a beginning for the San Francisco-born producer: his last works produced in Berlin before returning home, yet also the latest step in a steadily rising trajectory that already saw him turn heads with a standout release on Growing Pleasures, championed by the likes of Dr. Banana.

The A2 cut, “Snazzy init”, distills Nate’s sonic identity into five and a half minutes of understated mischief. Opening with otherworldly, space-flecked tones, the track swiftly grounds itself in a supple, groove-laden house bassline - neither flashy nor forceful, but irresistibly head-nodding. Falsetto-style vocal chops weave in and out like fleeting apparitions, giving the track a playful eccentricity without ever breaking its cool. Piano stabs punctuate the mix, trading places with those airy cosmic flourishes, lending a subtle tension-and-release dynamic that makes the track feel alive without ever overreaching.

It’s laidback, it’s slick, and it’s got that sly “must-drop” character that sneaks its way into nearly any set. “Snazzy init” slides in, takes control of the floor, and leaves you wondering why you’d ever want to play anything else. Natebytheway proves once again that his grooves may be born in Berlin, but their pull is universal.
