Standards & Practices is proud to present ‘Imitable Behaviors’, the debut EP from label cofounder and frequent collaborator Ken Meier @ken-meier. All four tracks here have been kicking around in various iterations but were finally completed earlier this year. Refining and developing the sound he’s cultivated on remixes for Israel Vines and Jake Reif, as well as material under the name Obelus for Karl O’Connor’s Downwards imprint as well as Mysteries of the Deep, this is the first material released on our Double Standards sub-label since 2018’s acclaimed 12” from Device Control, ‘The Spirit Module’.

‘No Confidence’ kicks off the proceedings in fine style—it’s a sleek, aerodynamic modern electro cut with plenty of tension and rhythmic drive. ‘Fact Pattern’ follows, a favorite of ours—sparse and jittery, all nervous energy with razor-sharp drum programming and jagged, mottled sonic textures. The spacious, dubby ‘Omnipresence’ utilizes a half-time melodic feel to great effect, and the crunchy ‘End Matter’ closes the EP on a memorably quirky and idiosyncratic note, a stripped-down DJ tool that, like the other tracks here, manages to be both functional and substantial at the same time.

Friend of the label Karl O’Connor aka Regis had this to say about the release: “This is everything I love about music, but unfortunately it’s all in the wrong order.” We couldn’t agree more, Karl.

Imitable Behaviors

Ken Meier — Fact Pattern — Imitable Behaviors EP

@pillen presents Henko.

Henko: 変 更

Deep and transformative change from which there is no return to the initial state. It is that turning point that raises us above fear and worries, adopting a new attitude to life.

The word henkō is composed of the kanjis 変 Hen, meaning "change" and 光 kō, meaning "variable or with an unusual light".

[RÆCAST007] Philip Kylberg - Ockulta Visioner

DJ BONEY S has her own rhythm in music and in life.
Before finally stepping behind the decks herself in 2020, DJ BONEY S already looked back on two decades of club culture experience.

Passionately collecting vinyl from various different genres for years, she started out as a party organiser in her native Belgium. Her behind the scenes work continued after relocating to Germany where she was heavily involved in establishing the PARALLEL nights at Griessmühle as a fixture of Berlin nightlife.

As a former booker and label head, DJ BONEY S developed her own unique taste that is first and foremost shaped by one timeless medium: VINYL. She draws from classic 90s sounds and queer techno, travelling to otherworldly electro or cold industrial beats. Sometimes dreamy, sometimes pouncing -- but always trippy -- her sets invite you to close your eyes. 

DJ BONEY S is resident of queer party SLIME (Berlin) and SOUSAMI (Cyprus), female:pressure member and publishes the PRALL podcast series. She is also one half of DJ Frottée and Hypnotist, both together with zikade.

ParallaX 013 | DJ BONEY S

Atomal, DJ based in Bratislava, Slovakia, and the guy behind Grão. After more than 15 years of being driven by infinite inspiration from all shades of music, he decided to use all this experience to create a new, totally free persona. 

Leaving all labels and genres behind and focusing only on the freedom of expression, he started his own club night called AMEN - "a journey through a holy fairyland". Atomal wants you to dance with your eyes closed, layering some sensual spices, looping percussions, anything and everything acid, and never leaving the bass out of the picture. Every set is about being curious and open to being surprised.

DJ Set recorded on 24th of March 2024 at Waldschänke Dornheim

Mixed by: Marie Pravda @yomomsmokescrack at Waldschänke Dornheim
Recorded by: Andy MA

Marie Pravda @ Avoid The Subject, Waldschänke Dornheim, Würzburg (23.03.24)

Although Marco Roehrich focused his studies on the cinematographic field, his gaze and his feet always pointed towards electronic music. Thus, when he had the opportunity to develop the LAUT project, he poured his soul into it and, not surprisingly, he ended up creating what most electronic music geeks consider the best club in Barcelona nowadays.

Eclectic, without clinging to any specific genre, lover of different rhythm and always defined by a critera that tries to surprise without sacrificing quality, Roehrich is a reliable and daring selector.

This dj set is a recording of Roehrich’s debut at his beloved LAUT, on the 22nd of March ‘24, warming up the dancefloor before the b2b set of Vanity Dust and Headbirds. 

Enjoy the music.

TILECT with #09 Roehrich

Konduku - 24.05.24 [Itmotr Radio]

Embark on the journey of 3 hours of tribal drums, deep bass and ritualistic soundscapes. The set was recorded during rainy days in Groningen and its tempo reflects my escapes to the nature from the hastiness of contemporary society.

The picture was taken at Sklepchno, my initiation rite to the organization of techno events. Expect to hear from me and Fadex soon again!
