It's likely you've seen Amaliah's name echoing around London's underground music circles over the last few years. If not, where have you been? 

The London born and bred DJ and producer has become known for her punchy sets that celebrate the sounds of the UK's underground electronic scene, from garage, bass and breaks to house and techno. What strings them together is the energy she brings to the booth, whether it's in the club or on the airwaves, it's impossible not to dance.

Cutting her teeth playing her formative musical influences - soul, funk and disco - she went on to broaden her palate into the world of club music; sounds that you can hear on Borne Fruits, her regular show on Balamii Radio, where she also works as a producer.

Borne Fruits stretches further than just radio though. As well as throwing sporadic parties around the capital, Amaliah recently extended the platform to include a label arm which will serve as a space for her own productions and releases from like-minded producers.

November saw the launch of the imprint and with it her debut release which, unsurprisingly, is custom-made for the dance floor. With plenty more in store for Borne Fruits this year, we thought what better time to get her on board to give you a taste of what she's all about...

Big ups to @bake-all-caps and @no_sir for their killer sets that night. And a special thanks to @8circuitmusic for working some audio mastering magic.

Closing set @ Nowadays 7.8.23

Happy new week to everyone. New mix from Peder Mannerfelt!

Enjoy!


Peder Mannerfelt splits the difference between playful immediacy and daring experimentation. You’re as likely to find him premiering a live show at Berlin’s Atonal festival as pulling apart fabled techno meccas from Berghain to Fabric with synapse-frying precision. One minute he’s being asked to remix Björk, and the next he’s dropping EPs of non-conformist techno for Karenn’s Voam label.

As a prolific collaborator throughout his career, Mannerfelt has veered from the orchestral tension of Roll The Dice (with Malcolm Pardon) to the anything-goes maximalism of Aasthma (with Pär Grindvik). As a producer, he’s worked on every one of Fever Ray’s acclaimed albums and live shows, as well as projects from alt music heavyweights such as Smerz, Blonde Redhead and Glasser. His Peder Mannerfelt Produktions label has become another outlet for his singular approach, presenting his work alongside similarly experimental operators like Sissel Wincent, Machine Woman, Klara Lewis and Hodge.

More recently, his PM+ series celebrates the immediacy of club-focused tracks, and Mannerfelt thrives on the energy and community of contemporary club music. What makes him different is his response to that energy, as he pushes the music’s possibilities in wild, unpredictable directions.

Andy Garvey | Boiler Room x Pitch Festival

Nazira is a real powerhouse. She has almost single handedly built up an electronic music scene in her native Almaty in Kazakhstan. She runs her own ZVUK nights in a range of unique settings, was responsible for bringing a one off edition of Unsound to the region in 2017, and after word spread about her skills, she has gone on to represent around Europe while hosting workshops back home that aim to grow local talents. All this is even more impressive given how far removed her hometown is from the rest of the global circuit.

As a DJ, host on Radio Cómeme and resident at Berlin’s Room 4 Resistance, Nazira brings physicality and angular rhythm to her work. For this week’s mix, she kicks off with skeletal bass and huge open spaces of futuristic ambiance before the jittery techno and industrial drum loops take over. Melodies rarely appear, instead the mood is dark, heads down, and focussed. It is the sound of an artist who is assured and uncompromising, which is a perfect reflection of the DJ behind it.

Though she came up in London, @danielle_dj embodies the cutting edge electronic sound of her hometown of Bristol. She traverses styles and tempos with a boundary blurring vision that makes each and every selection a surprise. She credits the freedom that comes with years of playing warm up sets as having given her the confidence to play it weird, and has kept that MO now she has become a headliner in her own right. Of course, her NTS shows are always eye-opening affairs for the same reason. 

Given where she lives, a certain bass weight will always underpin a Danielle set, and this week's podcast is no different. In 75 minutes she plots a line from sparse and atmospheric rhythmic pulses to full throttle jungle-referencing rave. Along the way she finds a perfect sweet spot between head wrecking experimental tracks, futurist breaks and universally appealing techno that manages to be both muscular yet refined. It makes for quite the thrill.
