Label Mix 004 is from beloved Rotterdam label @nousklaeraudio and its founder, @sjoerdoberman. The mix, consisting entirely of unreleased tracks forthcoming on the label, showcases Nous'klaer Audio’s dancefloor pedigree while nodding to its explorations beyond the club.

As Oberman observes in his label mix interview, “there is a connection between all those tracks though - but I find it hard to pinpoint what that is exactly.” 

The ineffable uniting qualities of the music coming out on Nous'klaer Audio have made it one of most sought-after labels in underground electronic music, for DJs and listeners alike, as well as a springboard for new talent from the Rotterdam scene and beyond.

"These records changed my emotional perspective on music." Recorded live at Dekmantel, the Italian techno artist dissects the records that shaped his approach to DJing and production.

There are few artists as widely respected as Donato Dozzy, who is known for his unique approach to building hypnotic, acid-infused atmospheres as a solo artist and as one half of Voices From The Lake. He is also a singular curator at the head of Spazio Disponibile alongside Neel, and a DJ with a reputation for building sophisticated and slowly unwinding sets at festivals like Labyrinth, Terraforma and Horst, as well as in public spaces and museums.

In this Exchange live from Dekmantel 2023, Resident Advisor's editor-in-chief, Whitney Wei, asks Dozzy about the songs that shaped his craft in our Playing Favourites flagship series. He takes us back to his childhood, playing the first track that introduced him to electronic music before moving chronologically through his life and the pieces that acted as lynchpins in his creative development. He discusses how he grew up in a musical household, listening to classical orchestrations with his parents before finding Italo disco and the stylings of Giorgio Moroder, Lory D and The Future Sound of London. These albums, he says, influenced how he builds his sets, leaning into slowly unfolding narratives as he moves from one track to another. "When I started releasing albums, I decided that I wanted to create stories," he says. Listen to the episode in full.

Tracklist:
Franco Battiato - Summer on a Solitary Beach
Giorgio Moroder - The Chase
Lory D - Abrupt Interruption
The Future Sound of London - Cascade
Kruder & Dorfmeister - DJ Kicks 1996
Mike Parker - Dispatches
Die Woodys - Fitchtl's Lied
Verde Prato - Nina Sonando
Donato Dozzy - Valentina

Joining us for Tapes #113 is Inter­stel­lar Funk - known for his love of transcend­ing sounds, scenes, gen­res and gen­er­a­tions, which comes from work­ing at the famous­ly influ­en­tial Rush Hour record store, as well as travel­ing the world and pick­ing up his own glob­al influ­ences.

Instead of repeating the tricks that saw him break­through, he prefers to have fun mixing up the old with the new and join the dots between inspi­ra­tions from the past and take risks on unknown futures, keeping both him­self and his dancers on their toes.

Driven by a heavy bass addiction, an unconditional love for analogue synths and a craving for dusty drums, Interstellar Funk discovers more and more old and new gems by the day.

Origins Tapes 113 - Interstellar Funk

"Woven with a characteristic sentimental string, you'll find yourself among the depths of 2000s drum and bass, the dreamy respite of downtempo and the intricate beauty of modern-day IDM.

This mix is dedicated to my longstanding love for ASC's 'Deep Space' mix series, a love that  now projects toward contemporary platforms like INVEINS ~ I'm so grateful to be here."

Barcelona and Amsterdam based producers and DJ duo Iro Aka is taking control of episode 24 of Polychrome Radio.

When visual artist and friend Gerard Musquera shares music with us it usually means something special, and introducing us to David and Carles’ catalogue definitely was. We fell in love with their sound which covers a wide spectrum from IDM to Techno while keeping a deep and hypnotic touch that makes it unique and recognisable at first listen. Meeting David for the first time during our June De School gathering simply confirmed that Iro Aka deeply shared the vision, values and mindset that make Polychrome, and laid the basis for a friendship both on and off the dance floors.

When harmony in sound and passion ties  two artists, it leads to beautiful results. David and Carles are in sync, and living in two different cities did not get in the way of their vision and work ethic. We keep on being amazed by the level of consistency in their creative process, from their already rich catalogue, latest critically acclaimed (and simply incredible) Planet Earth album on @hivern_disc , to their super well curated and executed selections. It forces the attention.

Iro Aka transports us in a tunnel of hypnotism and deep psychedelia carried by polyrhythms, floating subtle melodies and acid sounds. This recording perfectly captures the duo’s psilocybine infused sound, driving and mind opening. A real trip that we are so happy to share with you. Enjoy 🍄

Benedikt Frey (@freybenedikt) has been on a journey of musical adventure and exploration over the last 15 years. He has made everything from deepest house to bottomless dub, UK jungle to irresistible edits of Notorious BIG. Those early forays came on labels like Nous'klaer Audio and Hivern Discs but in the years since the German has looked more to industrial and post-punk for inspiration. His Fastlane album on ESP Institute this summer blended those vibes with his own take on techno and resulted in his most accomplished and singular work yet. 

Now, the Lopasura label head steps up with an extra special two-hour mix that peers into the farthest corners of his sound. It is the sort of all-consuming trip that plays out like a mind movie as it works through serval different chapters - some heady and deep, some direct and unsettling, always with great control. Whether laying down electro, wave, techno or serious bass weight, Benedikt Frey is always taking you somewhere new.
