Slaloming between stations since early 2022, traverse is the Amsterdam-based radio series and music platform pushing a hypnotising collage of elastic bass and pulsating rhythms that slide through genre descriptions with abandon.

Now expanding into a label and experimental home for producers to explore their own versatility, traverse presents its debut compilation: traversée. An eight-track VA of moods and grooves that skips between styles and bpms through a collection of atmospheric pieces designed directly for the dancefloor.

Encouraging artists to explore creative avenues that they would have otherwise passed by, traverse is a space to share new ideas and personal reflections that aren’t tied to any one convention or formula.

Populated by producers from all corners of the world, from Brazil to Japan via Mexico and the Czech Republic, traversée 001 is a unifying body of work that truly reflects the ethos behind Lolo Batten’s traverse platform.

Beatrice M.: "Caught between a passion for mental 170 halftime tribe sounds and 140 progressive dubstep-techno hybrids, I often produce a track at 140 bpm and then speed up the bpm at the last minute to see how it sounds. This is what happened with “TriForce”. Another key to my productions is the snare on the third beat, and the fact that I almost always sample scenes from the longest ongoing British TV series Doctor Who, the voices bring me comfort and reming me of the excitement of watching episodes during my teenage years."

Kop-Z first heard the term "A Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamic System" in a book he found in an old junk shop in Manchester city centre for 2 quid. Its describes humans as systems constantly battling the entropy and world’s challenges around us in order to survive:

"Whilst this is true, we are also systems that work together. We think, learn, grow, and create beautiful things like art and music. I love this contrast. There are many similar contrasts in the spaces we inhabit: day and night, love and hate, going to bed at 9 p.m. or 9 a.m.”

He articulates this contrast by juxtaposing vignettes of human life with unrelentingly kinetic probability programming systems. Autobiographical field recordings, manually looped vinyl and childhood video games melt into psychedelic waves of sub-focussed pressure.
Throughout the record, these themes are engaged by a psyche imprinted by influences such as jungle, footwork, noise, rave, post punk, reggae, the Curry Mile and a river in the Peak District. This results in an auditory fabric that interlocks contrasting physical and digital systems across temporal contexts. Rejoicing in the expression of lived human experience, whilst surrendering to the chaos of the machine.

Yyyrni - (alt) doe iets (prod Yyyrni)

Coal Slow

In Poland, it constitutes an unfair, unwritten law that deprives children of their fathers. Fathers are powerless against long-standing prejudices, pressures, and, as a result, judges' judgments, distorted by the previous system's lack of consistency, lacking in most cases proper professional and life wisdom, a healthy, rational interpretation of childhood trauma, and a lack of goodwill despite existing legal instruments and decades of backwardness in Europe. Mothers in this country, for the most part, treat children as objects, exploiting this system with impunity and unscrupulously humiliating and slandering fathers, which ultimately leads to painful differences and, above all, leads to the separation of the child and hindering contact, thus creating a vicious cycle. This song is about that story and this helplessness.
