IPA [aɪ̯ pʰiː eɪ̯] podcast series // as.o11
Now spending some quality time with Rotterdam-based creative @2_29! 

His whole life is somewhat based around music, creativity and DJ-ing. From elementary school on, little Gerran had an interest in knobs that bend sound. Later on it developed to some basic DJ skills when his group of friends (he still hangs out with) had a rule at hang outs: you can play your music, as long as you mix it in.

With a few bends and turns in his DJ life, Gerran is now focusing on a down-tempo elektronic breakbeat sound with his alias 2:29, which is slowly recognized in the local scene of Rotterdam. The sounds of 2:29 can be heard regularly on the internet waves of the online radio station @operator-radio. 

With the Show UTC+1:00 Gerran performs the sounds he's searching for during a night out or when strolling on a festival. Besides DJ'ing there is producing & promoting events and festivals as a hobby that totally got out of hand. The Operator resident loves to balance between a raw industrial and funky electronic vibe.

IPA [as.o11] w/ 2:29

People sometimes speak of something that happens frequently as happening 'ever so often'. But when something happens only occasionally, it happens every so often. Ever so often is a monthly show at Operator by Samira, a dj that usually comes back to a darker palette of melancholic electro, acid and new beat.

In an intricate lattice of ever-evolving electro exploration, Samuel Van Dijk (@mohlao) is back on Delsin with a new EP. Under his VC-118A alias, the Helsinki based producer presents a richly textured, cinematic strain of machine funk that reaches beyond dancefloor functionality to test the expressive potential locked within electro's crisp rhythmic framework.

There's a melancholic mood hovering over Avian as Van Dijk allows a subtle edge of distortion to creep into his flickering drum programming. The end result is a pensive sound that touches on the moodiness of orchestral composition, unfurling patiently across extended run times without losing focus. With his characteristic attention to detail and broad dynamic range, Van Dijk continues to offer up a sophisticated, emotionally-charged strain of electro like no other.

Pyatigorsk-born dynamo b0n dishing out some naughty breaks on X-Kalay sub-label, Another Place.

Four distinct traxxx going from full-blown seismic tremors to lithe, dreamier fare. A love letter to the halcyon days of ‘90s hardcore, perhaps?

Synths darting (just how we like ‘em), ragga vocal samples enhancing that UK kinda feel. First track sounds a bit like something you might have heard in some disused airplane hangar circa ’92.

Kicking off with a trio of straight-to-the-point accelerators and closing on some lush, levitational gear. Hi-octane rave utopia or blistering ride into oblivion? You decide.

He said not to mess with his breaks. Nuff said really.
