After United Identities' successful first vinyl release "Modern Intimacy Volume 1" in 2020, founder, DJ, producer and music curator Carista decided it was time for round two. Named after her debut mixtape, we are proud to present "Modern Intimacy Volume 2". This album is a blend between contemporary and futuristic sounds by 10 rising Dutch artists curated by the label head herself. The intention of the compilation is to nurture and showcase contemporary Dutch homegrown artists and the range of their craft; Breaking the boundaries of sound and genre as we know it, with a refusal to be categorized or caged in.

The album starts with the hopeful and soothing track "Whistle, accompanied by a saxophone and flute that gently guides you through the story of Brintex Collective. Then we are moving onwards to genre defying artist Phantom Wizard, who takes you from experimental synth jazz to an electronic dance riddim named "Awa". These two tracks serve as the perfect introduction and sets the tone of the label's versatile compilation. Followed by Thrills in +41 eerie, steady soundscaping drum patterns in "Strangelove64'', groovy bass heavy breaks that invite you to move your whole body to EYCEE's "Crunk", or to be enticed to a dark forest full of raving dancers with the dark but dreamy techno banger "Body On The Floor" by DutchAfro featuring vocals by Luka Eyrie. On the second half of the LP we are transported to an utopian dream reality in "On" by Sansouni with ethereal voices and sounds; Percussion and sample heavy "38A" by Conrad Soundsystem; The glitchy and dark "Personal Reality" by Mayo and shortly after we are taken on a journey through time and space by futuristic artist audt98 in "6 Identical Atoms". The compilation concludes with Acidic Male's "Zero Authority", shifting between cutting snares, alluring synths and poetic vocals.

Platform, music label and event series United Identities aims to nurture and hold space for local artists. As an extension of that care, Carista found it important to physically realize the efforts and legacy of the artists, by pressing their music on vinyl. Modern Intimacy Volume 2 showcases the harmonious, yet versatile musical approach of the label, as well as the artists that embody it. Keep an eye out on all of these artists, as they are destined for greatness.

Blush aims to help soothe the queer spectrum and focus on the well-being of the community. Queer DJs are invited to submit a mix to showcase an alternative side to their music library outside of a rave and take us on a meditative journey. ✨

Notes on the mix:

“I’ve always been a big listener of Ambient music, from Electronica to Chill-out to Sound Bath to Minimal Classical to Soundtrack, with lots of influence from artists that touch on the genre in some capacity such as Ryuichi Sakamoto, Pat Metheny, Steve Reich, Mike Oldfield, Baths, Akira Yamaoka (the list could go on). For this mix, I wanted to go on a journey through a plethora of different ambient styles and emotions that I’ve held close within my own music - as a little peek into another side of me that you won’t always hear in my usual dance floor sets - including all new releases from a range of artists. Hope you enjoy the ride!"

Panooc (They/Them) is a multi-instrumentalist, DJ & writer/producer. Engaged in music for most of their life, Panooc spent their formative years in NYC working in their craft & nightlife scene, and eventually joined the LGBTQ collective XOXA, where they help to spotlight other queer artists and create an extended international community. Touring both domestically in the UK & USA, & internationally (such as Germany, Portugal, Mexico, Spain, Taiwan, Japan), they curate each set they play with intention & exploration for the dance floor, ranging from energising house to fun-loving disco to hard-hitting acid and techno to left field breaks, and hold 2 radio residencies on AAJA Radio & EHFM where they share new, captivating music every month. They have had EP & single releases on labels such as Sorry Records (NYC), .WAVCAVE (NYC), Ultra Music (Sony), Delusional Records (LA), with their most recent releases on Fortune Signal (NYC) and Super Drama Records (London) being played on BBC Radio, NTS, Voices Radio, The Lot Radio, Mixmag Cover Mix and more.
