Jędrzej Kowalczyk, also known as @kovvalsky , is a dj, promoter, radio host, artistic director and a resident of the Jasna 1 club in Warsaw. Despite his relatively young age, he has been active on the club scene for over 12 years and has also been the driving force behind Jasna 1, which is one of the brightest and most important clubs on the Polish club scene. At Jasna, Kovvalsky has been solely responsible for club programming, where he did not cut corners and never settled for anything that was not in line with his vision for the club - as a result he was able to build a one of a kind club community, as well as a truly unique roster of resident DJs.

Outside of his work with Jasna 1, he has also been very prominent on the local Polish scene and has performed in most major clubs and festivals in the country. On top of it, he has also regularly played abroad in clubs such as: Berlin's Griessmuehle and //:about blank, Alphabet in Tel Aviv, Ankali in Prague, Korner in Taipei, Lizdas in Kaunas or Ballesta in Madrid. Kovvalsky can be characterized by a broad musical spectrum; from disco classics and italo experiments to house, electro, techno and songs that no one can expect.

Lastly, it's worth mentioning that together with Pitti Schmitti, Kovvalsky has been running his own club night KOD (Disco Defence Committee), which quickly became one of the unmissable series on the Polish club scene. The main mission behind these nights is to offer something new and exciting to a scene overly saturated with generic techno. Jedrzej and Pitti also host a radio show called 'Jasna 1 Presents' at Newonce radio - one of the most influential media platforms in Poland.

Various Artists - Electric Vandalism / SELF004

SELF starts 2024 with an international affair. Electric Vandalism is the logical result of decentralized networking that has never been dependent on the "pay for play" logic of agenda-setting magazines and platform gatekeepers. On the contrary, we are definitely interested in abolishing it - see the title of "12".

A1) Viikatory starts "03" with Autobahn-pads and an assertive beat, which develops in a straight line in the second drop, giving the bassline extra life. Many people know the newcomer from Minsk from our tape compilation or from her gig at Leipziger Neue Welle.

A2) In "I Need Your Energy", Swedes Luke Eargoggle & Freddy lay a catchy melody over the 808 pattern, which develops a certain Modern Trips quality in combination with the repeating dialog. Luke runs the legendary label Stilleben Records.

A3) The West Coast Dutchman Edo8 is no stranger to Clone, if you know what I mean. With "BreakOne" he aims straight towards Detroit jit in tempo and style. The syncopated, floating bass barely catch its breath between saturated drums. This track will fire up the deviant electro kids at the end of the A-side.

B1) We were able to introduce Olivia, a producer from Krakow, at the first label party at mjut in Leipzig. She regularly releases tracks on the Rotterdam label Pinkman and forms the duo Radiation 30376 with Chino. Her track "Grzybnia" aptly fits perfectly with the interwoven filter movements over the harsh industrial beat.

B2) DJ Unisex brings the pulse down cold with "Conflict Data", makes the subjects despair under vibrating mirrors and nails the claustrophobic groove with a perfect acid line. What is grace?

B3) The Frankfurt electrodefender has the answer with his forgiving "Cronberg In A Dream": dopamine synth pads point to the funk dancefloor, the white sneakers are ready and the red tracksuit demands robotic moves. After the vandalism, the sun always rises again.

The artwork for the 12" EP was created by Amelie Göppel from Leipzig.

Waajeed’s 2022 long player, Memoirs of Hi-Tech Jazz, was an aural love letter to his hometown of Detroit; an amalgam of the city’s history, coalescing the personal, political and, of course, musical past.

From the Motown soul assembly line to J Dilla’s musically dense Hip-Hop to The Stooges’ proto-Punk to the birth of Techno, the music of the Motor City has spread across the globe inspiring countless artists who in turn went on to create their own forms and genres.

Emulating this movement and transmutation, the Memoirs of Hi-Tech Jazz remixes 12” sees artists from three continents repurpose elements from across the LP, transforming them into productions stamped with their own trademark styles whilst retaining the spirit of each original:

the UK’s Mark Broom loops sections of Right Now while speeding up the BPM for a classic UK-style techno remix; Ghana-born Yazzus takes on The Ballad of Robert O’Bryant adding a surprising number of twists and turns for a five-and-a-half-minute piece; Australians Jensen Interceptor and Assembler Code close the 12” out with their take on the album’s title and opening track neatly closing the loop, bringing us full circle to the start of the LP.

The release of Memoirs…remixes add another facet to the immensely heartfelt tribute to Detroit from one of its most talented citizens and a true milestone in the Tresor catalogue.

Release Info :

Ben Pest - Come To The Yard EP [Co-Accused Records // CR004]

Our latest release sees prolific Bristol-based producer Ben Pest step up to the plate with his quaking 'Come To The Yard' EP.

It's high energy from the get-go as the commanding title track takes hold, followed by the fizzing electro, breakbeats and robotic vocal fragments of 'Experting Computers' . On the dark and rugged 'Erase Me', arresting analogue textures coalesce around an absolutely jacking rhythm as the track pounds its way to the centre of the dancefloor. Ben closes out the EP with the machine funk of 'Think Again', an old school acid house-flavoured cut that grooves along with attitude and an infectious 303 bassline.

𝗣 𝗟 𝗘 𝗔 𝗦 𝗨 𝗥 𝗘: podcast 02 | jadzia

Arvid Wretman, AKA Your Planet Is Next, has assumed the role of musical storyteller with a serious mean streak of DIY electro.

Wretman’s latest album tells its tale through the eyes of an imagined anti-hero. He conjures up the gritty underbelly of an over-populated megalopolis; a world of dilapidation, ruin and sin, where stiletto knives are a dime a dozen and our titular protagonist, the FOG MAN, stalks the streets.

In an oddball tradition, there’s an absurdist, left-of-centre flex coursing throughout. This is the Stockholm native at his strangest, radiating fuck-off attitude and an embrace of imperfection as he maximises the potential of a limited studio setup.

Bleak spoken word lyrics only serving to bolster the narrative storytelling, ‘Sad Fog’ paints a vivid picture of hardships endured, while ‘Fog Power’ resembles the inner dialogue of a man teetering at the edge of sanity. Think corrosive, industrial fug and rugged, tape-damaged torque.

Through ‘No Fog’s menacing machine funk to the visceral, downbeat sleaze of ‘Freaks’ and queasy, Wolfenstein-sampling 'Eisenfaust’, the FOG MAN deals that dystopian gear in spades.

PREMIERE: FOG MAN - Fog Machine (warning)

Wierząc w przesądy, powinien to być pechowy, a może i nawet nieatrakcyjny podcast. Nie tym razem. Kovvalsky nie zawiódł i ze znaną mu lekkością przygotował eksperymentalne, kroczące spokojnym wręcz tempem słuchowisko. 13 podcast z naszej serii to odzwierciedlenie ulubionych klubowych kierunków autora, którego najczęściej spotkacie w klubie, będącym miejscem jego rezydentury. Mowa tu oczywiście o warszawskiej Jasnej 1. I tak na playliście znajdziemy zarówno acid house o lekko orientalnym zabarwieniu, pełen niepokoju i syntezatorów EBM oraz oldschoolowo brzmiące disco. Zanurzcie się na godzinę w jego selekcji, nie pożałujecie.
