Nothing was specially recorded. All tracks were created as a result of working on this sampler, testing all stages of work.

A new episode in the series features a very special guest—Tim, aka caapi, a driving force of Glasgow’s underground scene. Over the past few years, Tim and @lizzie-urquhart have been creating the deeply heartfelt and immersive label @somewherepress. 
Now, Tim has launched their own label called 'blush', and this mix serves as a kind of sonic palette—or mood board, if you will—that they’ve carefully curated to establish the tone and identity of the label.

Listening to Tim's mixes is always an incredibly fascinating and inspiring experience for me. They are crafted with such skill and intricacy, always full of hidden layers and depth. This mix is no exception—I listened to it several times before its release, and each time, I discovered new shades and nuances. I'm thrilled that Tim chose to present such an important and personal story in the De Kat Memwa series.

Here’s what Tim had to say about the mix:

*My intention with blush is to explore DIY, arcane and delicate sound work with a playful and personal approach.

I recorded the mix as a way to understand the sound that's been forming in my mind over many months, and it captures the mood of what I'm going for.

At the heart, it's an exploration into ambient guitar works, particularly the kind of ephemeral moments when a zoom recorder is left on and spontaneous playing merges with the environment. But there's also a playful distortion to this, tinged with the influence of obscure '90s ambient trip-hop and sample-based music.

My first tape release as blush, by ana reme, explores romantic atmospheres and dated textures and is a big influence for me also.

I'm drawn to fluttering synths through layers of hissing tape noise, ambient guitars recorded serendipitously, obscure trip-hop that never found its place, twee indie soft rock, and everything in between.

The photos are of a waterfall in Bavaria that I photographed in the summer—they felt kind of right for this mix: a bit mystical but also strange and kind of timeless.*

Next up in the series is a mix from Brussels-based DJ and label-head Rick Shiver, someone who’s been around bringing some of the finest sounds to our ears for many years through his label Nose Job and his always-reliable mixes, with a residency on LYL Radio with his show Niemandsland, and regular appearances on BXL’s excellent Kiosk Radio.

His mix takes us on a journey of his usual dubwise downtempo, scattered rhythms and heavyweight, heady slow-club moods, always with a Shiver touch, dubby and fun. Plug-in for a little over an hour of some of the nicest gear you’ll hear all day.

Many thanks, Mr Shiver!

Paris-born electronic music pioneer and 1970s GRM alumni Ariel Kalma joins with multinational New York trio Asa Tone (Kaazi, Melati ESP, Tristan Arp) for a series of intergenerational, electro-acoustic studio conversations, exploring elasticity within rhythm and winds… or as one early listener observed “space and time.”

Following a chance encounter at Ariel’s studio in the Australian rainforest during the pandemic, Melati & Kaazi began recording long live takes with Kalma, weaving in bioluminescent synth improvisations from Tristan Arp remotely. Revisited a few years later between the members of Asa Tone’s respective homes in New York & Indonesia, “○” is the document of a significant moment in the lives of all the album’s players; an ode to memory and connection in an era of crisis, illuminated via flickering fragments of steel flute, kantilan, modular synthesizer, xaphoon, tenor sax, EWI, field recordings of the surrounding rainforest, and the human voice. 

Recorded, written and produced by Asa Tone & Ariel Kalma. 
Ariel Kalma: Western Concert Flute, Xaphoon, Tenor Saxophone, Voice
Melati ESP: EWI, Kantilan, Voice
Kaazi: Hydrasynth, Opsix, Percussion

Mixed by Tristan Arp, Kaazi and Ariel Kalma.
Mastered by Jose Arentes at GRAMA, Porto.

For their first release of 2025, Phase Group return to where they started with new music by label founders MR TC and Lo Kindre, under the moniker of TC LK. Their self-titled debut album marks the first collaborative recordings by the pair to see daylight since the release of the PHASE001 EP in 2019.

Their new album sees the pair reaching for darker and heavier territory, where modulation and delay enact mind-bending effect on warped bass lines, dubbed out breaks and mangled samples.

Album opener ‘Godmanchester’ ominously sets the tone with a distorted acid line floating over stuttering ambient pads as a drum machine struggles to find its way through a gnarled signal chain; the album’s centrepiece comes in the form of a nine-minute-plus epic, ‘TLPTK’, in which a stark dancehall rhythm is paired with a modulating bass drone and otherworldly oscillating arps, while tracks like ‘Aro’ and ‘Bouncy’ present the most club-engaged moments of the record; the former in the form of a glacial electro rhythm, subtly locking into a groove, and the latter through throbbing bass and echoed breakbeats shimmering over spectral drones.

With this new album TC LK offer up a deft manifesto for futuristic, hypnotic sound design that sits somewhere between the club, the afters and somewhere else completely.

TC LK is released in the form of a digital album alongside a very limited amount of 10” dubplates featuring ‘TLPTK’, ‘Aro’ and ‘Bouncy’, hand-cut by Henninspace at Copyshop Studio in Dresden, available exclusively via Bandcamp.

Phase Group will celebrate the release of PHASE008 with a TC LK live show alongside DJ peanut and Rick Shiver at Spanners in London on the 28th of March.
