After 5 years on Rinse FM with a monthly show and over 30 guest mixes and hundreds of tracks selected by me and my guests it is time to move on. My 1st RINSE FM show came out on 28th of June 2019 and it was a beautiful ride. I want to say a big thank you to all my guests, artists who provided the artwork, Rinse FM team , all the artists and music producers and of course my listeners and supporters. My final guest mix comes from @prayerproduction and as always there are hidden messages  and clues of what to come in the  near future :) Lots of Love from MW 2019 -2024 RINSEEEEE FFFFMMMM :)

If you can judge an artist’s quality by the company they keep, then FaltyDL is up there with the best of them. The label history of the producer known to his friends as Drew Lustman reads like a “who’s who” of 21st century electronic music imprints - Ninja Tune, Unknown to the Unknown, Planet Mu, Studio Barnhus, the list goes on.

With In the Wake of Wolves, we can now add Central Processing Unit to this illustrious roster. The Sheffield label joins the party at a notable juncture - while FaltyDL has kept up an impressive clip of releases throughout his career, In the Wake of Wolves is both the NYC-based producer’s first LP for two years and his first full-length release away from his own Blueberry Records for almost a decade. 

In the Wake of Wolves proves to be both a great match for CPU and also further evidence of the label’s burgeoning sonic palette. While CPU has built its reputation on top quality electro joints, recent releases have delivered adventurous electronica experiments (Proswell’s People Are Giving And Receiving Thanks At Incredible Speeds), hard-wired breakbeat techno (Baby T’s I Against I) and golden-age synth explorations (twenty-fifth anniversary reissues of Bochum Welt’s Desktop Robotics and Feelings on a Screen, both of which first emerged via the legendary Rephlex Records). In the Wake of Wolves takes things further still - this is a brilliantly genre-voracious record, one which marries the rhythmic cut-and-thrust that we have long known FaltyDL for with all manner of adventurous stylistic choices.

Those familiar with the FaltyDL experience will recognise the trademark blend of synthetic grit and harmonious softness in album opener ‘I Need You’. This could pass for Four Tet or even Hannah Diamond at points, the steady build of pulsing synths and looped vocals recalling a more mysterious version of the PC Music sound. ‘I Need You’ stands shoulder-to-shoulder with any of FaltyDL’s other great atmospheric album openers - no small feat given the competition. ‘Further’, the following number, is yin to ‘I Need You’s yang. This is a pulsating track which gleefully skitters between machine-funk, tubing darkside bass and breakcore-adjacent drum programming, all of which is peppered with some genuinely beautiful work in the higher synths.

‘Further’ sets the scene for several of the more club-facing cuts here. ‘Minds Protection’ similarly features all manner of strange percussive sounds to surprise the ear, and it also boasts a thrilling mid-section in which the bottom falls out the track to incorporate a short snippet of blown-out junglism. With its tunnelling low-end and clattering drums, ‘Full Spectrum’ kicks off a delightful run of grime-influenced joints which take cues from Mr. Mitch, Logos and many of those other producers who took the Eski sound to exciting new places in the 2010s. ‘Forget Me Not’, the album’s longest track which is placed three spots from the end, feels like the record’s climactic point - a pitter-patter post-house joint that has a hint of Caribou in its DNA, it’ll take the clubs by storm.

But as much as FaltyDL may consistently bring the heat in terms of the beat programming, the thing which has long marked Lustman out as a special talent is the musicality of his compositions. No matter how much drums clatter or bass bangs, FaltyDL always hooks the ear back in with a sonorous synth or pleasing nugget of melody. Nowhere is this more apparent than on In the Wake of Wolves’ more weightless numbers, each startling in their prettiness. ‘Half Spectrum’ is a new-era beat track packed full of ear candy; the keening keys of ‘GasGas’ are potent with feeling; and on the album’s closer, the evocatively-titled ‘Mila Stans In A Meadow For The First Time Eating Strawberries’, we get a gorgeous synth vignette that joins the dots between the modern mastery of Yung Sherman and the most emotionally affecting moments of Aphex’s Twin’s catalogue.

Influences: Is there a difference between influences and inspirations? They merge together in my head. DMZ, 2008-10ish dubstep, Big Apple Records, Swamp81, UK dance music. Lots of new dubstep and adjacent forward thinking heavy bass sounds being made & promoted by folk like Carré, Beatrice M., Mia Koden, Woozy, Amity, Pressure Dome, Femme Bass Mafia and loads more. Headset club night and label, which consistently promotes incredible Scottish dance music. Shoegaze, 90s grunge, punk & hardcore, my sister’s and my dad’s music tastes, grime, club culture. Underground Solu’shn (Edinburgh’s longest running dance music record shop) and the team there, who furthered my musical education every shift. My colleagues at EHFM, and other insanely talented, forthright, imaginative and driven pals. Club Sylkie, Plant Bass’d. Everybody who does a show on EHFM, or any community radio. Creative development as personal growth, and vice versa.

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Find authentic people who nurture and inspire you. Be gracious for opportunities and help offered, and do the same for others. Don’t be so scared to be shit at something that you don’t try. 

About the mix: 
Some favourite dubstep, breaks & bass tracks old and new, with a wee bit of 4x4 and grime. Been really enjoying the 150 dubstep/half time things coming out recently. I’ve also included some Scottish artists everyone should know about.

After a brief hiatus we're back with the 9th Tape by the one they call Otik - 3024 recording artist extraordinaire responsible for the magnificent Cosmosis album as well as the recent EP Cloud Runner.

3024: Otik, can you describe your mix in a single sentence?

"An ethereal and drum heavy journey between 160 and 170bpm, which includes old and new inspirations for my recent ‘Cloud Runner’ EP on 3024."

3024: What DJ inspires you at the moment / has inspired you throughout the years and why?

"I’ve actually talked about this recently, but I’ve always been in awe of Midland’s sets. The way he can read a crowd and create heart stopping moments on the spot with ease has really inspired me to become a better DJ."

3024: What are you working on / what have you got forthcoming?

"I’m currently finishing up two records for the same label, I can’t say who yet but I’m really happy with how they sound. The music focuses a bit more on the dance floor, 4x4 rhythms and sits within the 135-140pm range, which I haven’t experimented with for a while."

GALA warm-up: Facta

Australian producer and DJ Air Max ’97 is a powerhouse – when we invited him to deliver this mixtape we weren’t sure what to expect but an hour of exclusive original material wasn’t discussed.

The dynamic artist has risen to prominence over the past ten years, broadcasting a new school of experimental Bass and Electronics from Australia to the wider world with releases on the likes of Liminal Sounds and Timedance as well as via his own DECISIONS imprint.

More recently he has been working along a number of collaborators on a slightly more Hyper-Pop focussed sound but is in Bass music that he has his roots.

This mixtape features an eclectic array of Downtempo cuts, Trap inspired beats and deep moving basslines. It’s a wonderful insight into what looks set to be the next chapter for a hugely talented producer.
