Up next for Tapes #99 is moktar, a DJ and producer effortlessly combining club and techno with traditional Arabic instrumentation, sampling and production. A hybrid style, moktar’s music is new to the clubs of Australia and is itching to make its way across dancefloors.

moktar’s heritage has always been at the forefront of his identity. Navigating racism and abuse was an everyday reality growing up in the Shire, especially in the years surrounding the Cronulla riots. Regardless, Moktar’s Middle-Eastern background found its way to become a source of pride: and with that pride comes the inspiration to share the sounds of his culture through his own music.

Although he plans to split his years between London and Melbourne in the future, for now moktar is resigned to Australian shores to share his signature sound. Signed to Mall Grab’s label Steel City Dance Discs, moktars double EP output is expansive and explores techno and IDM through the lens of Arabic percussion and instrumentation.

“Spiky techno and hefty dubstep live from Pitch. 

Melbourne's Rakhi gets weird, deep and deeply funky on this recording from Pitch Music + Arts, which careens from leftfield techno to dive-bombing dubstep.”

After the well-received release of the 'Birdsnake Begins' EP, anticipation builds as we reveal a glimpse of the upcoming 'Birdsnake Begins Remixed EP'. The first offering comes from the talented Indonesian producer, Sattle.

Hailing from West Java, Sattle brings his unique vision to the table, following his stellar 'Twentythree EP' on Plumbah Records.

Birdsnake - Pressure Point (Sattle Remix)

Based in Lyon, the french label Dürüm Records is coming back with its compilation series geographically organized and dedicated to highlighting the artists who shape the underground scene in their home countries: No French Fries.

Following their first release in this format, they're back with a new opus through which they share their particular love for Australian artists and their bewitching vibes. 12 Naarm/Melbourne-based producers come together on this new 10-track v.a. A project of varied atmospheres, reflects the musical richness that the players on australian vibrant creative scene have to offer.

Yollks is a producer/DJ and vocalist based in Naarm who co-runs label and club night 'Fluxx'.

Tied together with catchy samples, rushing breaks, hard hitting bass hooks and dirty synths, Yollks’ sound ignites an air of euphoria whilst also allowing one to be grounded in fast paced beats and rhythm on the dance floor.

PREMIERE : Yollks - Caterwauler [Dürüm Records]

After spending the last year or so procrastinating university work by fiddling around on Ableton, RITA BASS (Margarita Bassova) is finally ready to release her debut offering into the music world.

The gritty and chaotic release will be released on cassette via Naarm (Melbourne) based label 56k records, as well as digitally independently.

Apophenia/Shaped Curve is largely a manifestation of the anger, frustration, depression and confusion of the last year of intense isolation, and RITA BASS does not shy away from exploring these sentiments through varying sonic soundscapes and unlikely partnerships.

Notably, RITA BASS considers this 2-track EP to meet the unlikely intersections of cyber-pop, post-punk and emotional drum and bass, largely inspired by tech-pop goddess Grimes and the countless fem kweens in her home city of Naarm.
