Tech House – often misunderstood and unfairly written off as commercial – takes centre stage in the upcoming Blitzcast by our good friend Sylwa, who has been influenced by its original, understated sound and approach, and now thrills with a soulful interpretation.

Blitzcast 028 comes courtesy of Sylwa – here’s what he has to share about the mix.

> This mix features tracks released exclusively between 1996 and 2005, with a strong leaning toward the sound pioneered by early UK tech house figures like Terry Francis, Eddie Richards, and the circle surrounding London’s Fabric club and Swag Records.
I aimed to create an obscure, moody atmosphere with long blends, moving through stripped-back, loop-heavy cuts, dubby stabs, and acid lines—gradually brightening into more melody-driven tracks toward the end. You’ll hear some crackles and slight mixing imperfections; I guess it's the unavoidable nature of mixing with vinyl. <

We also had time for a swift conversation with Sylwa about his background and musical approach - find out more in the Blitz Magazine on our homepage:

Lowercase Life's sublabel Loop Of Life present ‘Balancing Act‘ - the debut extended-player from Italian producer Kuiper Belt, named after the celestial dust ring imagined by Dutch astronomer Gerard Kuiper back in 1951...Our pick is ‘Balancing Act‘ - a shapeshifting electro track that begins in subdued shimmer. Arpeggios flickering like sodium lights on an abandoned overpass, before launching into a syncopated frenzy of breakbeats and scorched basslines. As synthetic lifeforms rise, ‘Balancing Act’ becomes a trans-dimensional joyride powered by the ghosts of dancefloors.

Kuiper Belt - Balancing Act [Loop Of Life]

In our era of post-truth & questioned realities, tin foil hatted folk project their insecurities onto the puppet masters, those holding the strings to us all, the endless psy-op at play. For those opting for psychedelic enlightenment over psychological terror, we find solace in the dance, especially when the music is from heads such as Jeku. 

‘Peyote Trance’ follows the Helsinki based artists journey into the “trip”, where mother nature instead pulls the strings. A sound of trance often not followed, continuing the work of forebearers such as eXquisite CORpsE; where the zap of the synapses in the brain connect with the bubble & squeak of electronics. Creating a sound advanced by nature, yet resonating within the concrete walls us ravers know and love. All 4 tracks harness a kinetic energy that nudges you to ascendance, not desperately reaching for it like the heavy handed aesthetics of the genre can. Instead, the heads down motion of the music can take you there, and well, a little bit of Peyote might just help, as mother nature intended.
