The nineteenth of our podcast series.
Artist: VICKY ZISSOU

Electronic Musician and Dj

Berlin based Vicky Zissou favours the deep and rhythmic side of techno, which is stimulating the mind + body and catching the soul. Tribalistic and deep sounds are quintessential in Vicky Zissou’s organic crafted sets.

Her dark-layered hypnotic techno comes with electric intensity, a shimmer of light + ease, and a drop of emotion. The accents are floating between atmospheric, dubby, acid, downtempo/experimental, and raw industrial vibrations. The distinct character of her sets combined to the latest released tracks and collaborations, got her recognition, attention, and gigs outside of Sweden.

Originally from Berlin, Vicky Zissou has become an essential part of the Swedish Techno Underground Scene. She played alongside many of the local scene’s originators and influential artists. Like Abdulla Rashim, Dorisburg, Evigt Mörker, Sebastian Mullaert, Fjäder a.m.

Together with producer Hampus Bogren, they form the duo Matilda. Matilda, in its complexity, is a genderless project, challenging people’s preconceptions + mental images. Modular synthesizers, atmospheric/experimental sounds and driven rhythmic percussion mark their sound.


Enjoy the journey!

V/A - Pura Lempuyang Dua (LPY-14.2) clips

Alexander Bogdanov - Influences

Paris-based artist Lina Filipovich is set to release her third album, Music for an Imaginary Dancefloor. This album ventures into the intriguing space where club rhythms meet abstract, experimental sounds. Written between June and December 2022, the LP emerged from improvisations on analog synthesizers and is characterized by its dynamic energy and rich, layered textures.

Our premiere today, "Silver Ghost," combines atonal drones and atmospheric elements to create a moody, cinematic experience. The track's gritty, bleepy downtempo vibe flirts with the experimental, making it perfect for listeners who appreciate intricate, thought-provoking music. Music for an Imaginary Dancefloor will be available on May 24 via Blank Mind.

We are delighted to also premiere the video for “Silver Ghost” through our YouTube channel:

Altered View, aka Johnny Area and Johnny Midnight, conceived this project deep in secluded UK woodland back during the pandemic lockdowns. It fuses electronic music with dark disco, post-punk, dub, and psychedelic influences, with plenty of otherworldly magic. Their last EP, ‘Taken From The Outer Realm’, came on this label in November 2023 and is now backed up with another alluring four-tracker.

The fantastic 'For Now' kicks off with shimmering synth lines over snappy chug-disco drums. Sleazy vocals coated in layers of grime add some menace to the low-slung bass, while filthy guitar riffs and acidic details further heighten the trip. 'We Come We See We Fall' has another crisp kick and snare combo and is run through with a warbling bassline and topped with some twinkling cosmic synth lines that will go down a storm with lovers of ALFOS. 'This Is Our Time' has jangling chords that recall the beautiful melancholy of The Cure over rugged drums and aloof vocal musings coated in tones of echo and reverb. 'Lost Inside' picks up the pace with faster rhythms interlaced with pulsating synths, soot-black riffs and more abstract vocal musings, this time with some busy synth arps adding the final touches to a tripped-out gem.

Deadstock 33s is Justin Robertson, a long-time UK staple, acid house veteran, dark disco innovator and all-around musical wizard with an enviable discography. His remix of 'We Come We See We Fall' layers in extra heavy dub, plenty of melon-twisting reverb and pixelated synths that rain down to psychedelic effect as the snappy drums march on.

Altered View's This Robot Society EP lands on Kilsha on June 24th.

The past few years have seen Albrecht La’Brooy steadily hone in their unique spin on dance music via releases on Analogue Attic, Night Tide, Voyage Records and Butter Sessions.  
 The duo kicked off 2018 with their debut album on Apollo/R&S ‘Tidal River’, perfectly setting the tone for the year to come. Here though we see Alex Albrecht deliver new solo material under his new Melquíades guise after inaugurating the project on Francis Harris & Anthony Collins aka Frank & Tony’s Scissor & Thread’ Records. 
 This solo output will see Alex look towards more dancefloor-oriented sounds, with all the material being recorded with a live, improvised feel. "The Bluff" looks to capture the often surreal and mysterious feeling of the Australian bush, taking sounds and inspiration from both imaginary and global locations. 
 ‘Hunted’ takes the lead on the package with atmospheric field recordings, jazz-tinged double bass licks and bright piano chords wandering around intricately programmed, shuffled percussion. ‘Roads Inland’ follows, tipping the focus over to airy sweeping synths, bubbling synth delays and bumpy organic drums. 
 Title track ‘The Bluff’ opens the flip side, bringing a more direct 4/4 approach rhythmically whilst stirring in soft piano flourishes, warm bell chimes and airy pads before ‘Taylors Road’ rounds out the EP on a beatless tip, bringing brooding bass, wandering piano licks and relaxing field recordings into focus.

When you listen to Sebastian Mullaert’s music you will feel something enchanting, a resonance that delivers truth, integrity and reminds us to simply be. The Swedish artist has a distinct approach to life, as well as music, which is centred around tranquillity, stillness and the convergence of Zen meditation, nature and creativity. Known for his work as one half of Minilogue, Sebastian is also an accomplished solo artist with new material ready to roll. As an artist that is constantly evolving he has taken a bold new direction in his sonic exploration, immersing himself in the neo-classical scene and joining forces with one of the top 10 philharmonic orchestras in the world - Tonhalle Zürich. Working with great care and innovation he has created a truly immersive audio-visual performance experience, combining a mesmerising integration of electronic and classical instrumentation, with a visual art installation based on breath taking nature landscapes shot from a helicopter perspective. With such an innovative approach he aims to bridge the gap between classical and electronic music and introduce a whole new generation to the neo-classical concept. 

Sebastian's deep connection with music can be traced back to his formative years; from playing the organ and violin as a child, to performing in orchestras, string quartets and pop band, progressing into electronic music in his late teens. Discovering house and techno in the mid-nineties was the catalyst behind a revolution in his life, he set out on a new musical pathway, to promote the simplicity of being. Throughout the late nineties he experimented with electronic sounds, forming cult duo Minilogue with a friend and releasing with Crosstown Rebels, Traum Schallplatten, Wagon Repair and more, plus two albums via Cocoon – ‘Animals’ (2008) and ‘Blomma’ (2013). In 2014, the duo decided to take a break and invest their time in solo projects and Sebastian has since been hard at work cultivating a collection of new music already snapped up by hugely influential labels such as R&S sub-label Apollo, Drumcode, Hypercolour and Minus.

Sebastian Mullaert’s live performances are awe-inspiring, combining technical wizardry with energy, atmosphere and euphoria, you only have to watch his “Interpretations” performance for XLR8R or Boiler Room appearance for examples of his prowess. Recognition of his aptitude has led him to perform at institutions and festivals such as Panorama Bar - Berlin, Labyrinth Festival - Japan, Fabric - London, Concrete - Paris, The Block - Tel Aviv and Blackmarket - NYC. 

Sebastian’s collaborative work runs parallel to his solo endeavours and he has teamed up with several figures in the techno world to produce some unforgettable releases. Collaborators include Mathew Jonson, Eitan Reiter, Aril Brikha and Ulf Eriksson, and releases have come via underground platforms such as Hypnus, Mule Musiq and Kontra Musik. He also produces under the alias Wa Wu We, offering a serene, understated take on the techno aesthetic. Furthermore he is involved in the new Be Yokai project, a trio formed of Sebastian, Douglas Holmquist and Kristoffer Ström. The three men formed a natural alliance, finding their flow after several sessions together. Their first EP is signed to Hypercolour sub-label Space Hardware, with a live show and more music in the pipeline.

Sebastian Mullaert is already established as a potent force in the world of electronic music. Serious about reminding people to BE on the dance floor, or in the comfort of their own home, the music he makes is deep, progressive and utterly unique. Whatever the future holds, you can be sure he will continue to channel the infinite energy that surrounds us into every facet of his life.
