Long weekend means roadtrip getaways and if so, we’ve got a soundtrack to keep you awake.  

OJ is a DJ and producer based in Los Angeles. Leaning toward leftfield and nostalgic rave sounds with a dark side, she draws inspiration from experiences of catharsis & connection in LA’s underground and festivals around the world. She first dabbled in DJing at bars around LA pre-pandemic, but over the past year she's been making her name in LA, Orange County and beyond, lighting up dancefloors from DIY warehouses to Sound Nightclub. Her multigenre sets and original productions fuse breaks, techno, house and electro. 

This mix is packed with a relentless mix of electro and techno. The intro is meant to feel mysterious and discordant before a heavy 4x4 drop takes you away into the rest of the mix, which is packed with chunky, heavy low-ends, disembodied voices and hip-hop influences alike, before building into acid-laden techno.

On June 27, 2025, a long-dormant signal reactivates from Hamburg's hidden places: Helena Hauff and F#X return as Black Sites with R4 on Tresor Records—their first full-length album and the first release under the moniker since 2014. Like a hieroglyphic recently discovered and translated, R4 feels more like a long-awaited resumption than a comeback.

Recorded to tape with minimal editing or post-production the record is a classic example of the symbiotic relationship that can come from the interaction of human and machine. This punk ethos isn't invoked through distortion alone, but through method; in the album's breaking from the received wisdom of hardness tethered to speed as most of the tougher pieces are lower BPM and vice versa (with one notable exception in the mind-melting stomp of BLOKK).

Across ten tracks, Black Sites traverse a landscape where genre dissolves into intention. It migrates through electro's danceability, acid house's corrosion, and into the liminal realm of machine funk—a genre coined by Andrew Weatherall, which sounds like the results of technology dreaming of soul where the emphasis is on live execution, on immediacy over perfection—a sound forged in the act of creating, not polishing.

In a 2013 interview, around the time of the first Black Sites EP, Hauff was quoted as saying that she wants "things to fit together properly, but on another level, I really want them to make sense together." That principle animates R4: The album's form reveals itself in time, with each movement echoing and amplifying the others to create a synergistic whole.

From the opening crawl of C4 (a name that like the music foreshadows the explosions to come) to the end-of-the-night bliss of MOTHERJAM via the intense peaks of BLOKK, 707, and classic acid track 3D it's clear that R4 is a work made with serious intent; a refutation of a world where streaming has made the two-minute single the dominant musical form again. R4 demands immersion, not just attention. It is not a collection of tracks, but a singular, recursive experience: a mirror in which sound and listener repeatedly rediscover one another.

Tracklistings & Division Virtuel Records VA Compilation, Pt. 2

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

We’re thrilled to present the second part of the joint compilation between Tracklistings and Division Virtuel Records!

Following the success of the first volume released in mid-June, we continue the adventure with this second chapter - once again showcasing a diverse and powerful selection of electro tracks. And good news: the third and final part will be dropping in just a few weeks.

A few months ago, Grégory from Tracklistings and Atix from Division Virtuel came up with the idea to launch a compilation that would merge the energy of both our projects. The response was overwhelmingly positive - on our side, and across the electro community.

We received an incredible number of high-quality submissions, making the selection process both exciting and difficult. The result: a rich and diverse compilation to be released in three volumes.

This project took time to shape, involving many artists and contributors. We wanted to do things right - respecting each track, each artist, and crafting a consistent and powerful result.

The compilation is available in digital only on all platforms.

A few words about the two entities behind this project:

Tracklistings has been offering mixes and exclusives around electronic music since 2008, without compromise, and has gradually specialized in underground electro. It has become a reference for fans of the genre.

Division Virtuel, based in Lyon and run by Atix, is a label that has been active for over 15 years. After several evolutions, it is now clearly focused on electro and electro-techno.
