Adam Pits is back with his second album on Leeds based On Rotation ‘Synthetic Serenity’ represents the next evolutionary step of Adam’s sound design and direction. In stark contrast to his first album, ‘A Recurring Nature’, this new release moves out of the forest and into the digital landscape, capturing the sound of a future world over 8 varied tracks. 

Adam Pits talks about the inspiration behind the new album:

“It’s hard to put into words how much of an impact 2022 had on my life. I could talk for hours about the highs and lows, the journeys, both inside and out of my body. Or I could just make an album. 

Having delved into the deeper reaches of techno and ambient, I wanted to show my appreciation for these genres on the record. Atmosphere, clarity and warmth became the pillars of my new sonic exploration, with stress falling on my signature ‘journeying’ style. The album describes the idea of being at peace with machines and being open to the idea that in the future we will find ourselves more and more involved with one another. 

‘Synthetic Serenity’ is a product of a big energy release. It’s a testament to my acceptance of change in life and I believe it’s a true sign of my sonic evolution”

‘Synthetic Serenity’ is available on Vinyl & Digital from May/June.

On Rotation is a Leeds based label, event & mix series run by Chris I’Anson, Lisene & Adam Pits. Artwork illustrated and designed by Patch D Keyes.

Adam Pits - Lost In The Ether

INTERVIEW: https://www.deeprhythms.com/guest_mixes/129_solalex_for_deeprhythms.php

Digging early 90s progressive records and genre-curious excursions into all forms of groove, US-born, Berlin-based Solalex (@solalexdj) plays a sound inspired by the queer-futurist revolutionary spirit of underground raves.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jordan in Berlin a few weeks back. The scene really needs more DJ's like him - all about the music, making connections with likemind people and an advocate for the healing powers of dancing. Very glad to have him onboard!

"During the last six months I have found a beautiful community of queer friends and allies, and I’ve never before in my life felt more supported to be my full self. 

The mix explores the feelings during that time period. It’s bursting with euphoria. It’s a club ready fire starter. 

I’ve been saving up 90s and 00s progressive house and trance records to share, along with some cheeky detours. I’ve also included some of my favorite producers making tunes today, including a few unreleased tracks."

Kitsta w/ Baby Rollén - October 2023

"Dancing is never just dancing." The Tbilisi-based DJ talks about nightlife politics, the Left Bank collective and Eastern European club culture live from ICKPA Festival.

Tbilisi has been experiencing a club music renaissance over the last few years, with clubs like Bassiani and Khidi opening their doors to top tier DJs from around the world and simultaneously heralding an era of world class nightlife. While techno has reigned supreme at these venues, they left a gap that the relatively new space, Left Bank, has aimed to fill. Opening in 2021, it's provided a platform for what it calls "wildly diverse electronic sounds" beyond four-to-the-floor, and it's kicking off its new record label with a thirteen-track V/A, "Stop What You're Doing," this week.

Ash Scholem has been a member of the Left Bank collective and social space since its inception, and in this episode of the RA Exchange recorded live at ICKPA Festival—an event co-run by contingents from the Georgian and Ukrainian dance music communities—he speaks with the Exchange's senior producer, Chloe Lula, about his involvement with the venue. He also brings his background in political science and sociology to bear, shedding light on how Eastern European socioeconomics affect nightlife; the ways in which revolutionary ideals have become ingrained into Georgian nightlife culture and how people party; the fight for queer rights and drug policy reform in Tbilisi and broader thoughts on the role dance music plays in politics and legislative change during times of crisis. 

Listen to the episode in full, and grab a copy of "Stop What You're Doing" on Friday, October 20th.

Our next guest has entered Hotbox’ orbit. Enter the enigmatic world of Catalina. Based in Brussels, born in Romania, bred in the UK, Catalina is a force to be reckoned with. As a resident at Bruzz and Kiosk Radio, she’s known for conjuring up mean breakbeats and filthy basslines on the regular. Catalina's sets lure listeners into the unknown, creating an air of mystery as she effortlessly guides her audience through a spectrum of sonic experiences. 

Gear up as her exclusive Hotbox Hot Series mix takes you on a bass-saturated journey with unexpected twists, breaking through a diverse range of subgenres, from UKG-inspired drums to Latin melodies and thundering subs. While this mix leans slightly darker, it provides only a fraction of the sorts of goodies you’ll find in her bag. With exciting plans on the horizon, including sharing the decks with the HOTBOX crew at Full Circle and her Danish debut in Copenhagen, Catalina’s enigmatic sound is poised to conquer new dancefloors.
