"Digital Animals" is a visceral exploration of our modern techno-driven existence, where the rise of AI and social media pulls humanity back into a primal state. With infinite knowledge at our fingertips, we paradoxically devolve, following basic instincts and binary patterns, like creatures of code. This compilation encapsulates the raw energy of this shift: pounding beats and hypnotic rhythms reflecting the endless noise of social media, while pulsing synths echo the tension between hyper-connection and isolation. In this digital jungle, we become evolved yet devolved, trapped in a loop of polarized thinking, driven by technology's relentless pace.

Compilation includes trax from Vronsky, Löwen, Kàri G, JFM, Sub accent, wei.xzy, Baruri, Irreversible Changes, Voyd, Bête Imaginaire, Jiman, Trajano, Incognito, Emre Girginkaya. Support!

Our final DSSmix of the year is brought to you by Salvadoran artist Arista, based in Barcelona, Spain!

____________

1. How and where was the mix recorded?

I recorded this set some hours ago December 3 of 2024,  in one of my favorite places that I had played in Barcelona till the moment, at 303 audiophile. They have openned their booth for me all the time that I need to, and for that I feel very very blessed and thankful.

2. Can you tell us about the idea behind the mix?

Inspired by the DSS! sound and how the cofounder Leo invited me to this one. I started the journey of this set thinking on some faces of my collection, It’s a side of my music that I haven’t been able to explore and share yet, a side designed for a club and the joy of  sharing into the dance floor.

It’s a mix of my music that is quite penetrating to the brain, like a bullet, and at the same time powerful, but leaving behind my dark and abstract side, bringuing that groovy gems ( My way of groove)  that I have. It’s one of those records that fills me with joy and happy tones.


3. What are you up to next? Projects, ideas…
I’m starting to share more music in my new musical habitat where I want to share more of my vision and the story I tell through my music, next year is packed with a lot of excitement and dates to share my collection and the stories through my sound. Soon, I’ll be releasing music with my duo, Acid Partners, as well as some unreleased tracks I’ve been holding onto for a while.

I want to continue growing the scene that shaped me in Central America, carrying on with my vinyl store project, Vórtice, and spreading culture in my region with all the knowledge I’ve absorbed over these past months moviging into Europe.

I still feel like I’m finding my path through my music, but we’re always walking it together, and thanks to it, I’ve found my way to where I am now.


4.- Lastly, for you what is Dance, Shake, Swing!?
For me, Dance Shake Swing undoubtedly conveys a lot of Sazon latino,  and the urge to move your feet and dance. It really defines its sound and is without a doubt a space where joy is truly shared. Sonido fresco, elegante y con mucho groove.

MUCHAS GRACIAS CHAMAAAAS

DSSmix #16 - Arista

Release Date : May 2025

SAISEI founder Junki Inoue continues his vital archival work uncovering the riches of Japan’s distinctive electronic music scene and bringing them to new audiences around the world.
———
HERO U.D.A. aka Hiroyoshi Udaka is not someone you can easily google, but he’s sure lived a life worth retelling. His story starts back in the late 80s when, inspired by the acid house emanating from the UK — during what was fondly christened the Second Summer of Love — he picked up DJing and made the move from Japan to London. Throughout the 90s he DJed at underground techno institutions like London’s The End, CLUB UK and Silver Fish, as well as at the infamous Tribal Gathering raves, periodically returning to Japan to support techno greats like Colin Dale, Mad Mike, Suburban Knight and D. Wynn on tour.
The tracks on this EP, previously unreleased except for one, were all recorded after Udaka moved back from London to Tokyo, between 2002 and 2005. Yet they sound strikingly modern, drawing on a rich range of sounds that have come back round again two decades later: broken beat, acid jazz, dub and breaks. Deceptively simple grooves are given depth by layers of textures and micro samples, for example the surface noise on ‘On The Way’ that glues together an otherwise sparse skeleton of dubby pads and body popping drums. ‘Mature Missile’, ‘So Good’ and ‘Night Driver’ employ raw broken beat templates with acid accents, whimsical melodies and vocal interjections for a playful mood. ‘Sin City’ takes a darker turn, off-key piano hits and plunging bass adding to the wonkiness. The EP closes with a wiggly vignette, ‘222AM’, reminiscent of early 00s contemporaries like Mouse On Mars. Now these hidden treasures from Udaka’s archive gain a new life on SAISEI.

SAISEI is a Japanese word which translates to ‘reproduction’ and ‘to play’ (as in playing records). Japanese culture is widely known for its traditional nature just as much as it is for being forward into the future and this label’s concept does justice to exactly that. Having started digging for records as early as 16 years old, Junki Inoue delved into productions from 1990s Japan to uncover these native gems. SAISEI’s core concept is to recapture and reintroduce unique pieces of Japanese electronic music onto vinyl, to an audience it never reached before as most of this music was only released in Japan.

For the latest Klasse Wrecks release, the label combine with Japan’s finest festival and events crew Rainbow Disco Club to collaboratively present WRECKSRDC.

Overrocket were an electro-pop band from Tokyo that enjoyed a grip of great releases in the early 2000s while signed to Neon Discs and its parent label Aten. During a digging session Luca Lozano discovered the forgotten tracks ‘Duralumin’ and ‘Shadow of the Sun’ and immediately set out trying to contact the band’s members to arrange a re-release and remix. A few months of patient trying, the connection was finally made and wheels were set in motion.

Musically the EP conjures up perfectly the sonics of that time, a grey area between analog convention and the unexplored territories of new digital freedom. Shadow Of The Sun is electro-pop perfection, with breezy vocals and a bouncing beat that sounds like nothing else around…past, present or future. Duralumin is a more dancey collection of blips and beats, one that will make sense in the current return to early 2000s aesthetics.

To round out the release and propel it into 2025, KW label bosses take a track each and interpret in their own way. Lozano revisits his electro roots with two remixes of Shadow of the Sun, distorted 808s and growling 101 basslines provide a simple backdrop for the perfect vocals. Mr. Ho takes Duralumin into a more driving and pacey direction, upping the energy and excitement with fast percussion and a huge side chained breakdown that recalls the unbridled rawness of the early 2000s, when everything was just a little bit more fun.

Keeping within the confines of Japan and in an effort to bring everything full circle, the label enlisted Japanese artist Gonno to master the tracks for an updated modern sound. The tracks themselves being mastered a few miles from where they were originally penned over 20 years ago.
