The next move from Artefakt (@artefakt-official) and Delsin is a selection of their label back catalog remixed by four producers that can’t do no wrong in modern techno days. The artists they chose are all debutants on the label where it feels like a perfect fit. It resulted in a collection of involving drum grooves, hypnotic loops, smoky dub techno and cinematic ambient.

Forest Drive West (@forest-drive-west) is up first, coming off the back of a fantastic album on Livity Sound that showcased his hi fidelity take on bass, jungle and techno. Here he flips 'The Fifth Planet' into eight broody minutes of involving drum programming and groaning synth drones. A subtly uplifting tune thanks to the gorgeous pads in the background, but real bass heavy system music when it comes to the dance floors. Swedish producer Evigt Mörker (@evigtmorker) turns 'The Fifth Planet' into an utterly hypnotic, rolling, lumpy kick drum workout that pulls you into a state of techno meditation.

Paris deep techno stars Polar Inertia (@polarinertia) then remix 'Tapeloop' into a cavernous world of smoky dub techno. The vast emptiness sucks you in and the deft sound designs make for atmospheric, cinematic additions to this mental trip. Closing is Spazio Disponibile artist Valentino Mora (@valentinomora), whose slowly unfolding odyssey is built on gentle hand drums and spooky pads and take you deep into some oceanic abyss.

Polar Inertia examines the enigmatic and blurry realms, embracing the art of obscured vision.
Encountering the collective Polar Inertia is much like being absorbed by fog and captivated by
its ever-shifting forms and densities, with things being as indistinguishable as in a whiteout.

Formed in 2010 by a group of artists, Polar Inertia transcends visibility, delving into structures
that lie beyond the public gaze. Layers upon layers intertwine within the fabric of Polar Inertia,
extending beyond their profound electronic compositions and live performances. It manifests as a conceptual universe, where sound, monochrome aesthetics, and elusive narratives converge,
much like trying to grasp the intangible fog. The entity that is Polar Inertia is involved in
installations, print- and video work and texts created for different contexts and live in different
spheres such as Palais de Tokyo in Paris or the Lyon Biennale of Contemporary Art. Still, clubs
and festivals are perfect spaces to experience these nebulous soundworlds and immerse in
them. Fittingly, some of Polar Inertia’s appearances include the colossal halls of Berghain and
Bassiani and at experimental festivals like Mutek Montreal and Atonal Berlin, that like to break
with the classic club conventions.

Polar Inertia's sonic landscape unfolds with wafting textures accompanied by resonating beats
and drones, reverberating through empty spaces, merging with the vast expanse of nothingness.
Their sound exists at the crossroads of ambient, experimental, and deep techno, interwoven
with vocal narratives. Since their inaugural release “Indirect Light“ on Dement3d Records in
2011, they remain a stronghold of relevance and captivation in the electronic domain.
