UIQ label head and Hyperdub affiliate, Lee Gamble, is renowned for his unpredictable, yet consistently danceable DJ sets which promise to take listeners on a rapid-fire journey through genre and tempo.

His contribution to our Crack Mix series does not stray from this expectation. The forward-thinking experimental club mix closely aligns with his album triptych, 'Flush Real Pharynx 2019-2021', which offers a sonic exploration of contemporary urban overstimulation. If stimulation is the theme, then Gamble’s mix certainly adheres to it.

Crack Mix 421: Lee Gamble

Bored Lord - saying it could even make it happen

Nick León is part of a newer generation of Miami producers who infuse modern-day club music with sounds from around the region, everything from Miami bass to reggaeton. In León's case, his most recent—and most exciting—music has focused on beats inspired by reggaeton and its sub-genre perreo, but with a musical palette that speaks to a love of electronic music from Aphex Twin to Burial to music on labels like NAAFI and TraTraTrax. (This is a predilection he shares with DJ Python, whom León just launched a new party with.) 

It's on the latter label he released the Rompediscoteka EP, one of the canniest genre fusions he's done yet, meant to hark back to the feeling he had when he first discovered reggaeton. (It came with eye-opening remixes from Maral, Kelman Duran and Henzo, producers whose personal-but-global approach mirrors León's own.) He also head a head-turning EP on Future Times, which threw Miami-style electro into the mix, with an ambient touch.

Like his productions, the young Miami DJ's sets can range from slow and low to high and tight, and his RA Podcast captures León in peak-time mode. It's a Latin-spin on everything from techno to tech house to cool-kid club music, with selections from Nico, Simisea, Siete Catorce, Ricardo Villalobos and MM adding up to a vibrant and rhythmically restless hour that soars across genres and scenes.

Manchester’s BFTT brings his serendipitous club moments to the Untitled 909 mix series, describing his contribution as a ‘Best Of Compilation of some big blend moments that have happened during recent sets.’ 

Including unreleased tracks from himself, YCO Cru, Henzo and ‘internet friends’, BFTT’s mix excels in building pace, slowly chugging along via the percussive rhythms of Le Motel, Toma Kami, and Mistareez before an Amerie moment flips the switch. From then on, it’s go big or go home! 

Earlier this year, BFTT released his most reflective work to date on TT, a seven-track album titled ‘Redefines’, that was four years in the making. The album followed on from previous EPs on AD 93, All Centre, Mutualism and YCO - the label he co-runs with aya. 

‘Redefines’ by BFTT is out now via TT - buy here: https://bftt.bandcamp.com/album/redefines

Stella's album War Bride is one of those works of art that leave me so changed after experiencing them. It was instrumental for me in understanding the ghosts that accompany me on the dance floor, so I was humbled that she was able to create something for this project. Her mixtape "Dream Jumble" is a performance of original productions, emotional selections, and fragmented vocal samples, whispering like a haunting upon the ancestral beat.

It has always been a struggle to sum up the sounds of Zuli. The Egyptian sound artist, producer and multi-instrumentalist is restlessly creative and unconventional in what he does. He can do everything from rap, IDM, footwork to hardcore jungle and experimental rhythms, and mainly on Lee Gamble’s UIQ label. He's also done a lot for his native Cairo scene as co-founder of both the Kairo is Koming (KIK) and AHOMA collectives, and former co-head of the city's alternate music venue VENT which later turned into a club night and festival. He's now firmly established in the wider European scene, not least in part thanks to his excellent radio show on NTS. 

There is no messing around on this week's mix. It's a dystopian soundtrack that unites Arab music, Chicago club, European techno and UK bass. Every track fizzes with energy, prickly percussion or distorted drums. It's intricate yet heavy, dense yet atmospheric and the warped designs and contorted rhythms make an art form of physicality.

At Unsound 2022, Bored Lord from LA and Ariel Zetina from Chicago - each other's biggest fans - teamed up for their first-ever European b2b set. The two artists masterfully fused together queer club sounds with '90s hardcore breaks, trance, and house, resulting in a hard-hitting combo that kept the audience on their toes throughout. Once again we hit the record button, and the ripping result is Unsound Podcast 89!
