DIM245 - Holloway

Chicago-born, New York-based footwork artist @deejay-manny-2 channels the hyper-personal, R&B-influenced sound of his new Planet Mu album ‘Signals In My Head’ in his masterful On Cue mix. 

A core artist in the legendary Teklife crew, he chats with Shiba Melissa Mazaza about how, after years of keeping a low profile, he’s stepping into the spotlight and how, for him, love really is the answer

Fracture Presents: Slow Astro Vol 1 & 2
APHAC03
Limited Cassette & Digi
Pre-order: https://bit.ly/APHAC03

Slow Astro is a new mix series by Fracture which revisits the rich Astrophonica back catalogue and presents it in a new light. Starting with Volumes 1 & 2 featuring music from Sully, Client_03, Philip D Kick & DJ Earl.

"I have always been intrigued by playing audio back at different speeds. Be it speeding up breakbeats to make Jungle or slowing down pop music to make drawn out nostalgic atmospheres. Some of my first experiments with pitch were with my brother. We’d record ourselves onto cassette and use the hi speed dubbing feature to change the pitch of our voices. If you held the play button down half way it would cause the tape to play back at different speeds - mangling the audio.
Over the past year I became fascinated with playing on 7 inch records on 33. New rhythms, grooves and textures appear when you change the pitch of audio. It can totally alter the emotional quality of a piece of music you thought you knew so well - creating new artefacts with a familiar yet dreamlike quality. I started to wonder what the Astrophonica catalogue would sound like slowed down. So I made ‘Slow Astro’. Shout out DJ Screw…" - Fracture

A personal history of Hardcore – Mixed by Basic Rhythm

Following his recent release on our LT White imprint, Dutch DJ and Producer Coco Bryce extends his sonic prowess into a vinyl-only mix for our podcast series. Settle into an hour of gritty breakbeat percussions, dreamy pads and playfully pitched vocals.

In Coco Bryce's own words:

It’s an all vinyl mix. I kind of went with my usual approach; pulled a selection from my record cabinets, see what could fit together nicely, ranging from laid back stuff to some more heavyweight tunes, without fully laying out the entire mix beforehand.

Most of the time I’ll try to make it a nice blend of old and new, and also have some well known tracks mixed with slightly more obscure bits. I hadn’t played that Hokusai 12” in ages and always felt like it makes for a perfect intro tune, seeing as it starts off with chopped amens right off the bat, but then switches to a super mellow, kinda jazzy vibe halfway through, like it teases you with the rough and the smooth, and yet after the breakdown it completely pulls back and leaves you with this perfect foundation to start building up again.

Tracklist:
Hokusai - Jade
Perfect Combination - 100 Years
Photek - The Water Margin
Necrotype - Fever
Coco Bryce - Ginger Gear
Jules Elipse - Who's The Bad Man
Coco Bryce - U Can C In There
Torchman - Shine
Sonic - Serendipity
FFF - The Burial
Digital & Spirit - Gateman
Dead Man's Chest - Foundation Days
Ray Keith - Special Technique
Bizzy B - The Weekend
