A glimmer of sunlight can go a long way to overcome darkness. As we reach the peak of summer, we thought it appropriate to invite our dear friend Sirko Müller back to contribute another of his classic vinyl dub mixes for those long days in the sun. As one of the founding members of Tokomak Records company, he is well known for his diverse sound, steeped in the rich history of Detroit where he draws a lot of his influence. More recently, Müller has also been putting on regular dub radio shows along with Stojche, Oracy (Don Williams) and Francesco Devincenti at the excellent d59b bar as “Dribbling". This mix similarly serves as a celebration of everything dub, with a careful and tasteful selection that spans the genre's history. So open up the umbrella, lather yourself in sunscreen, and dive deep into the (sound) waves with this 2-hour mix of pure dub bliss.

Thanks a lot to https://soundcloud.com/sirko-mueller

067 - Unrushed by Sirko Müller

For this twenty-third episode of Polychrome Radio, we have the honor of hosting Bristol’s very own Farrell in our collection of recordings. Chris has been instrumental in shaping the port city sound through Idle Hands label and legendary record store, providing a unanimously respected and influential platform to Bristol’s underground electronic music scene, now very well represented on the global stage. 

The multiple crisis that the UK independent record industry faces opened the door to doubt, but also to re-invention. Chris Farrell’s resilience, incredible drive, resilience, vision and artist discovery and music selection talents are his best assets, and he has been making use of them over the past months. With a new record label ‘Devil’s Work’ (whose first release is a must-listen) and remarked DJ performances at @loveintfestival and @houghtonfestival , Chris Farrell has been opening new avenues and expressing his creativity in novel ways.

This podcast is a perfect reflection of it. Seamlessly flowing through dub bass lines, percussive rhythms, deep & hypnotic techno and UK flavored tech house, it is a masterclass where the focus is placed on a progressive dancefloor experience and musical storytelling. And one thing is sure, the beautiful story that he is still writing leads to the dance floor. Enjoy!

For mix number 22 in the PPRZ Podcast series, we have a mix from Detroit's @dretraxx

Detroit producer and DJ, Dretraxx, submits his latest live set recorded at Marble Bar in Detroit from January of 2024. Using a MPC Live 2, A&H MixWizard Z3, x0xb0x, Chronoblob 2, and Mutable Instruments Clouds, he weaves bullfrog downtempo, Midwest warehouse siren techno, demented breaks, feral atonal melodies, unlawful dubs, and paranoid 2-step UKG, all dosed heavily with acid and 70’s anti-drug PSA sublimations.

Dretraxx is the founder and head honcho of Body Worx, Detroit’s premier club monthly at Temple Bar. Entering its tenth year, Body Worx is an ode to Midwest dance music and beyond; focused, of course, on gritty jack beat, acieeed aberrations, and old skool rarities of days past.

With releases on the Body Worx imprint, PITS, and Junted, he is also one half of the duo Deoxyt and associated with the legendary crew rave, Equalizer.
