Proper Charts Podcast

Bring back my Bass Butches! They’re bossy & they mean business. Rag-tag rhythm riders Maara and Roza Terenzi come together for a freaky friday sound swap; trading auditory secrets only a mixologist would know to conjure up a 2 track tek-trailblazer. Not for the faint hearted deejay, the record flaunts their distinct signature sounds as they reincarnate the status quo of experimental club music one snare at a time.

Percussively penetrating the core ethics of composition, the A side flirts and squirts all over a rhythm so raucous, the bass battens down the hatches. Stir the pot, rock the boat, roll the dice and ride the bass, surrender to the unruly structure as the groove gets full custody.

Pura Pura - Hadale Zone [Nehza]

Lacuna delves into deeper and darker territory with a split EP from two young producers carving out their own niche in the bass music landscape.

PREMIERE: Small Crab - Snake Bite [Lacuna]

Gimme A Break delve into new sonic territories through the first release on their sub-label Aspect, an outlet for Electro, Prog House, Trance and Techno. ASPCT001 sees Berlin-based LUZ1E navigate mental health and healing at the sonic intersection of Detroit, Chicago, New York and the UK. With previous releases on Voitax, International Chrome and Mechatronica, LUZ1E’s “Cerulean” EP cements her place as a pioneer of Electro retrofuturism. 

“Cerulean” takes its inspiration from the very hue that has ingrained itself as one of the symbolic images of LUZ1E’s work – a particular nuance of blue. It emanates a synchrony of sentiments: clarity, optimism, and calm, juxtaposed against the backdrop of detachment and despair that accompanied the artist throughout the past year.

Manifested in a dichotomy, the Ultramarine A-Side delves into the labyrinth of one's own mental health. It casts a luminescence upon a profound struggle marked by inner discord, turmoil, and the swift currents of overwhelm and emotional detachment. The tracks' fast pace and sombre energy pick up on this, translating phases of introspection and intense inner conflict into a sonorous narrative.

The Cerulean B-Side breathes the ambiance of a crystalline winter day, bathed in ease and tranquillity, constructing a bridge to an inward journey where in a quiet and soft space healing can take place. The tracks, suffused with both hope and melancholy, radiate a sense of peace, calm, and lucidity, contrasting the tumultuous phases of ebb and flow and the sensation of feeling lost. What persists is a mere feeling of peace with the perpetual motion of life itself.

Dose De Chaos ～ Sarah MKS

"Markham Road Records is back steering steady with atch22, Count, Rizla Ops, and Teqmun in the driver seats. MR003 finds form as a quartet of percussion providing some real bang for your buck. This release was dreamt up for quick stepping activity, and the four tracks assembled provide a wide ranging toolkit to get us all moving. Although each artist provides a unique solution, movement was and remains the underlying idea behind this third release. 

“sexta feira” finds itself on the borders of trance, dembow, and dubstep. Besides these initial patterning queues, atch22 also employs a variety of vocal stabs and modulation to keep the track moving. After a recent move to build a studio in Strahov Stadium (would definitely suggest looking this one up), atch22 has been back behind the monitors, with this track being the first product of his new musical home. The track defines itself in the world of peak time frequencies and fluctuates through a wide range of feelings."

NEW HIT: atch22 - sexta feira [Markham Road Records]

This Week: Proper Charts 095 proudly pres. by @olmatri

Olmatri, a dynamic producer and DJ based in Leipzig, Germany, is known for his distinct blend of aggressive bass drums and Latin American rhythms. His musical palette spans across various genres within the underground club scene, characterized by a fusion of bass-heavy beats, rapid tempos, and an element of surprise. This mix curated by Olmatri features his personal selection of five tracks, providing a momentary escape from the relentless pace of party music.

Comments: We are having some issues commenting on Soundloud. As comments disappear without an evident cause we decided to post them in the Track description.

@b-e-b-e-t-u-n-e - SUKI GIRLZ 9: For months now, this song keeps popping up on my YouTube home page and in my recommended videos, especially during the evening hours. Almost every time I come across it, I feel compelled to play it. There's something about it that brings to mind the loading screens of video games. It's like a brief pause to rejuvenate and gear up for the next challenge. Listening to it relaxes me immensely; I adore its simplicity.

sofa - across the ocean: I consider @triplexlarge to be one of my most frequently visited SoundCloud accounts. “across the ocean” is the first song I discovered from this account. It captured my heart, and ever since, I've been enamored. Each new release from them brings me a profound sense of peace and a wave of nostalgia. Lately, I've found myself drawn to downtempo music; the slower pace provides a welcomed respite from the fast-paced dance tunes I often produce. It's a refreshing break from the daily chaos and the constant party scene.

Depeche Mode - Useless (@kruderdorfmeisterofficial Session): Several years back, a friend introduced me to this song one morning after a party. I found myself listening to it on repeat all the way home. Though I occasionally forget about it, it resurfaces in my mind every so often. Remarkably, the emotions it stirs within me remain as potent as when I first heard it. It's astonishing how the simple act of waves hitting my ear can evoke such profound emotions. I love music.

AIR - Modular Mix: Every city should install big speakers in their streets and play this song every morning. A must have for my morning routine. just pure vibes..

Grupo G - La Cumbia de los Monjes: My introduction to cumbia happened during my first trip to Colombia, even though this particular song is from a Mexican group. That journey introduced me to incredible people and sparked a deep love for the country. This song has become my ultimate favorite cumbia tune. Its rhythm is infectious, and I find it impossible to tire of it. To me, it embodies pure happiness. Que viva la cumbia por siempre por siempre!

3 trippy tracks from Maara and Amor Satyr.
Artwork by GMKD

Maara & Amor Satyr - Spiritual Ambush

Mira aka @miso_dd is resident @objekt-klein-a and also a family-member of the young label @fragmenteddigital based in Dresden. Her sets are characterised by a unique blend of electronic and house music. She doesn't stick to one genre, but this selection shows the strong UK influence in her taste. Bon appétit!

@jgrrey - Growing: This is my forever feel-good-summer-song. I like JGrrey‘s style so much, her smoky voice obviously and how she evolved in the past few years. She‘s an icon, tough, but her music is so soft, it’s a match made in heaven.

@plant43 - Remote Signal: This track is made for train riding, to look out and everything just looks beautiful while feeling the nostalgia. I love how the melodies wind around each other like a helix underpinned by the simple but heavy bass

@jess-palmer-183618461 - Bruk: JPEG is just fire, every track so far is a banger, definitely check out her music!

@y_u_qt - Abricot dub: Call me cheesy but I love ittt!! The melody is so melancholic that my heart almost bursts into pieces and yet the track is so strong in the baseline at the same time. These two are one of my favorite artists at the moment. Thanks to Emmi, I now also know the original by @feelmybicep - sooo qt!

@merca-bae - Morder: Ass-shake-alarm!! It’s too short and too good, so I always hear the track at least twice in a row. Shoutouts to Wilma, who showed me Merca bae. It's best to share my love for dembow, reggaeton and dancehall with her - I usually learn something interesting about the genres or we just dance together. Liebeee!

Tracklist and Comments:
__________________________

@coucouchloe x - Freeze (@8ruki, @brodinskiofficial, @modulaw REMIX): all time favorite by Coucou Chloe. Dat remix is different. Beat – next level, vocal interplay...dope. The original FREEZE was produced by Kai Whiston and remixed by 8RUKI + BRODINSKI + MODULAW. 

@mutantjoe x @yvncc - Acerbic: Uff. Mutant Joe + Yvncc, my fav duo atm. Most likely Acerbic gonna be in my top 3 releases 2024, just fucks hard; beat + voice crackin, absolutely the vibe I dig. Acerbic is part of @ivylab's Twenty Twenty London comp which is worth checkin out.

@definitelynotwreckno - Honey Drip (@dranq Remix): oi, DRANQs remix – pure banger... Wrecknos work always on point and hot. 

@debbauk - Feeling Closer: Hard to describe – but this track brings a variety of musiclovers together who may normally not join the same floor. When I played Feeling Closer recently, I just loved watching ppl how they catch up on it. @kaizenltd def worth checkin, was @mixmag-1 top 20 record labels in 2016.

@djdjrubiorubio - Cannonball: and another all time fav.  Helsinki-based producer rubio was my pen pal:) I felt in love with Cannonball and wrote about my experiences and emotions with it n got supersweet replies, e.g., about how the track came to life and how it involves field recordings from a tel aviv market. It's one of my must tracks when I play as pausenraum, on ambient floor, listenings, or the like.

This Week: Proper Charts 097 proudly pres. by @elmar_electroniks

„I have to say it was a lot of overthinking for me on how to approach this mix. I wanted to record something that you could listen to in one take, with fluid progressions and a certain dynamic course. As I'm listening to a wide range of music styles, it was an even harder challenge to showcase what I like at the moment. 
Therefore I tried to give you a small insight into tracks I feel a connection to and which have had a heavy influence on my mood and musical self at the time.
Thank you for the opportunity @properpull !"

Tracklist and comments:

@jochempaap - Ginger (Remastered 2021): I found this track a few days ago before meeting up with my friend @nuage-sonore-mlt-rec303 and instantly felt like this could be the perfect opener to a journey across multiple genres; as it is slowly building up in very calm way, paired with raw drums and oldschool sounddesign without setting to many boundaries on what follows after. 

@suelewig - Rose: Completely love this track with its pure, timeless and deep atmosphere. I got to know Sue Lèwig after the latest @splinter-cell-unit event in march. We had a great talk about the current state of electronic music and what needs to change for it to be a more sustainable and inclusive culture. I still think about it a lot.
Even crazier that the track has found its way on our label where we had the chance to curate a 14-track VA with tracks by flinta* artists from all over the globe. 
We are currently in the process of producing the physical CD release of this VA, so hit us up if you want a copy. All profits go directly to the artists.

@xupidx - stop being deep: One of the tracks I can’t get enough from. This production by xupid on @summerpup feels like a daydream and dayrave in one. I think it becomes very powerful when played at the right moment and can lift the whole dancefloor from true melancholy to ecstasy in the blink of an eye. 

@snckbites - unreleased: While listening to snackbites’s new music, I stumbled across one of the tracks in his folder. End of story, I literally have been playing this track since that day in almost every session and it gives me this certain “gritty but smiling“ vibe I only feel when listening to music with cutie snackbites. I’m excited for the official release <3 

@drivenbyattraction x @tadan127 - Dreems: A truly magical track to end with from a crazy forward-thinking album on @area127 by Driven By Attraction and Tadan. This has been one of my favorite tracks since it came out last december. It kept me going through a lot of difficult times and reminded me of how important it is to look out for one another.
