"In November 2007 Pinch’s debut album Underwater Dancehall was released to widespread acclaim. Four years later in July 2011 Space Shuttle Atlants commenced its final voyage from the Kennedy Space Centre. Unbeknownst to NASA and the crew, somehow a CD copy of Pinch’s landmark Dubstep masterpiece found its way aboard.

While the CD itself survived the journey into space physically unaltered the music contained within morphed and warped in its new zero gravity environment, Underwater Dancehall had become Dancehall in Outer Space. The weighty throb of the original floated away to leave a lean and spacious soundtrack for a new kind weighless wineing.

Whether through alien interference or some other miracle the CD started to play all by itself just as the Shuttle docked with the International Space Station. Beyond their control the crew found their bodies begin to contort into odd shapes as their muscles spasmed, seemingly in time to the beat. What follows is a recording of that moment from the Space Shuttle Atlantis sensors."

Sam is the founder and a resident at Pumping Velvet, a London-based Queer dance party, and regularly plays at queer parties across the UK alongside a US tour and other international gigs including Planeta Manas (Lisbon), Savage (Hanoi), Kockiri (Seoul) and (Re)treat Festival (Vietnam).

Sam grew up in London, his tastes moulded by the city’s diverse dance music scenes: from childhood trips to Notting Hill Carnival, to formative dancefloor experiences at nights like FWD, Trash and Süd Electronic. He brings these influences to his DJing in sets that span a broad gamut of genres, tied together by a love for big drums, pop melodies and sleaze.   

Frustrated by the lack of queer spaces where you could hear both a Svek record and Kylie in the same night, Sam founded Pumping Velvet in 2018, driven by the firm belief that any barriers erected between pop and ‘serious’ dance music are entirely artificial and that there’s no such thing as a guilty pleasure. It’s this same ethos and disregard for boundaries that makes his DJ so thrilling.

An artist with minimal online presence, Commodo is one of an increasingly rare few who make waves through the strength of their music alone. He builds bass-focused beats with soul and substance that never perpetuate a formula. Together with Gantz he just released a monster record on our ITX series. Enjoy!

Moxie w/ Chris Cruse 250625

"this transmission is a calibration device

i found it in the springtime under a shower of pink blossoms
my spirit, an ooze seeping out onto the floor
in this state of sub-being, words passed through untethered—
unintelligible, and touch was void

the device sent rippling waves through the air,
arranging it into mutating forms
they traveled inward and rebounded, inverting inside and out
wisps of feeling newly embodied pushed boldly from every pore

i watched as the shapes of people grew unimaginably
the glimmering swells were interspersed with pearls
which gradually came loose and fell
unlocked, my innermost madness unfurled into a spiraled conch

as the day darkened, the sounds became grim and hoarse
emotions scraped against each other with serrated edges
disintegrating madness into a fine lunar silt
voices came flooding, and in unison whispered: trust"

“You head down from the installation into the glacier, breath fogging the air. You hear echoes of splintering icicles reverb back to you from under a frozen lake. Deep unseen movements in the dark vibrate the walls as you go deeper into the ice. Underneath the loudspeakers of the installation above, you hear whispers and distant murmurs below.

You follow the whispers, turn to page 56.
You go back to the installation, turn to page 89.”

For Tectonic’s 20th anniversary, label boss Pinch rounds up some heaters from the label alongside their Tectonic Sound compilation. Spinning the whole bass spectrum, Pinch goes from broiling two step to scrubbing grime, with frazzled pulse discharging great energy beside Trim’s idiosyncratic, expressive raps. Lighter moments like the whizzing, zipping, euphoric arpeggios of Peverlist’s ‘Feel Something’ are offset by guttural moody bass, travelling from the club convergence of rattles and tings and brightly resonating metals on Bohdi’s ‘Bellcurve’ to the heavy rotating bass of J. Sparrow’s ‘L33T SP33K’, with slippery dub lasers echoing out.

“Here's me mixing live on CDJs for an hour, bringing you the sound of my sets right now, also bringing in some current and classic Tectonic tracks as part of our 20-year celebrations and showcasing a few tracks from the Tectonic Sound compilation too - that's out now!” - Pinch
