at the end of the day it's a game ov two halves really init.

@aya_yco has dazzled the UK underground with her experimental club productions and genre-hopping sets, which she demonstrates in her exhilarating Recognise mix. The London-based, Huddersfield-raised artist also speaks to Sophie McNulty about how her creative upbringing in West Yorkshire informs her work, and how her hyper-detailed process allows her to create art that is genuine

We were very excited to host Exist Palestine, who hold their first-ever Berlin event at Oona Bar, Weserstr. 166 on Saturday, August 20th.

Exist is a festival and event series founded in Palestine, with the aim of building bridges between artists, musicians, DJs and curators from Palestine and across the globe. Its broad, transnational family are united in a desire to use art to impact their environments in critical ways, and through their engagement with anti-colonialism in the context of Palestine and beyond.

Exist Festival’s event at Refuge Worldwide will include DJ sets by Exist extended family members Ciarra Black, Dirar Kalash, Falyakon, Kujo, Oldyungmayn, Sainte Marina, No Plastic and the festival's co-founders Odai Masri and Bint Mbareh. 

There will also be two installations on-site at Oona: an audiovisual installation by Sarah Risheq titled if_the_archive_could_speak, exploring Palestinian physical and mental archives; and a sound piece by Dirar Kalash called To Exist In Sound, which draws from audio recordings of the 1948 Nakba and 1967 Naksa.

Fact Mix 874: Cõvco (Aug '22)

Following a passion for the empowering perreo that started in the 00s at her teenage parties in Galicia, Spanish MC and DJ Clara! blends revolt, sex and humor on reggaeton/rap mutant rhythms with a punk spirit and a feminist foundation. For this infectious and twisted take on the gender she joins forces with eclectic producers including Pearson Sound, Low Jack and Maoupa Mazzocchetti. 

In this new installment of the Rhythmic Culture Podcast, Clara! touches upon everything coming out of the Latinx electronic music scene, that is just as vibrant as it is exciting.

rRoxymore with Ruiseñor - 01 April 2023

Spring 2023 is shaping up to be Tzusing season, with appearances at Manchester's The White Hotel (where he'll make his debut in the city at a party with the PAN crew this evening), Rewire and Lyon festival Nuits Sonores all taking place in the coming weeks. This playful selection of hard drum, hip-hop edits and other dancefloor weapons plucked from his current club set rotation makes it easy to see why.

Post-shaabi proponent @3phaz gets on a raw, percussive flex for the podcast series.

Operating from the shadows, the Cairo-based producer prefers to keep his identity under wraps. He recalibrates sounds of his native Egypt into new accelerated hybrid modes with inimitable style, and hot on the heels of a recent @tratratrax debut, we’re gassed to have him on board.

Where that release joined dots between Egyptian and Colombian traditions, the mix serves as a window into his overarching agenda. Seismic bassbin pressure and lacerating rhythm for the duration.
 
“I would say the set is a good representation of what I'm currently playing in clubs; lots of percussion and lots of bass.” – 3Phaz
