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.

Crack Mix 495: Tzusing

One of Berlin's most impactful artists, Silvia Jiménez Alvarez aka JASSS (@jass-29) is a Berlin-based sound artist, producer and DJ born and raised in Asturias in northern Spain, she continually disrupts continually disrupts the conventions of electronic dance music. Rooted in heavy bass, she flawlessly combines elements of techno, electro, DnB, pop samples, tribal rhythms, and folk melodies, developing an offbeat musical language with a mysterious cult film vibe. As a resident member of Berghain's Säule and Herrensauna, her precise control over the nighttime atmosphere is undeniable. Her sensory stimulation is intense, ranging from fast to slow, light to dark, with tightly packed, highly impactful climaxes. The bright metallic sounds draw listeners in irresistibly, leaving them entranced until the set is over.

Her album "A World Of Service," released under Ostgut Ton, sits at the intersection of abstract electronics and baroque industrial pop. Her bold and effortless approach stems from her experiences with mental illness, exploring fragmented and disintegrating sounds and vocals. Through lyrics and music, she deconstructs the self, revealing dimensions of life amidst chaotic forms and tumultuous thoughts, like a dark and lavish drama. Two tracks featured in the highly acclaimed Whities series from the AD 93 label are said to be inspired by her formative years during the rave era. These tracks sound both retro and futuristic, deadly in every second, and effortlessly sweep across major dance floors.

Relentless rhythms and Latin dance history, courtesy of the TraTraTrax innovator.

Percussion is, at the root, a conversation. It's about different instruments meeting each other, and interacting to form something bigger than the sum of its parts. 

Few engage in this dialogue as boldly as Pablo De Vargas, AKA Uruguayan experimentalist Lechuga Zafiro, who draws from tradition, to make sounds like candombe and clave feel, well, completely new.

De Vargas' music reaches outward, building bridges between Montevideo and Bogotá, Tijuana, Berlin and beyond. He's a key figure in the hybridisation of Latin American club music, with releases on labels like NAAFI and an album on TraTraTrax.

His RA Podcast plays like a manifesto in motion. RA.985 opens with a recording of Jorginho Gularte, a Uruguayan composer, playing a jazz rhythm, from there, it expands: cuban guaguancó, Venezuelan drums, batida, tribal, techno—it's all here, stitched together with precision and intention.

De Vargas is also, crucially, reckoning with these roots. His 2018 EP Testigo confronted the colonial violence embedded in the history of the Río de la Plata. His sets are similarly alive with memory—asking, without nostalgia: what does it mean to inherit rhythm? Who gets to carry it forward?

He's also just a killer DJ, one of those rare artists who uses CDJs like an instrument. His sets are full of hot cues, delay FX and left turns. It's technical, but never cold. It’s, in a word, funky.
