K Wata - Sling Of Life

2h out of 10 cozy Saturday b2b from a few weeks ago together with Pat, Pete, Sean, Avi, and myself.

2 out of 8

4 - Lucie Simone - Chute

2 - Frere Tuck - Mash Labo Dless

Lush, and murderously dystopian dance floor magic from Toulouse. Not sure my words do this track enough justice.
 
Thanks, Lenny, for forwarding a portal to your endless productions.

I Think He's Listening To Me - Fergus Sweetland | Out now on Pressure Systems

I discovered Ikeaboy in 2018, featuring his tracks on my Facebook page, Selections with Eva. Though life and procrastination meant sporadic chats, we stayed in touch. As I prepared to relaunch all my project this year, Damian was the first artist I thought of. He kindly shared 15 incredible unreleased tracks, two of which I’m thrilled to feature here on SoundCloud and YouTube.

Damian explains, ''This track has undergone several mix updates, though the core song has remained unchanged. Most of the percussion comes from a well-worn Zoom sampler called the SampleTrack, which adds a pleasing sense of degradation to the sound. The string progression features microtonal tuning, creating a vibe that teeters between unsettling and epic. I became obsessed with turning it into a functional track. To me, it evokes the spirit of early '90s experimental trance music, with its unconventional element choices—like early '90s trance colliding with the imagery of a massive, rusting oil tanker abandoned on a desolate beach.''

Since 1999, Damian has crafted hardware-based techno and electro, releasing on Dublin’s iconic D1 label (and others) and experimenting with darker sounds on Invisibleagent. His music has been hailed as “more bounce than a pogo stick” (The Wire) and “a deep cover curio of oddball techno” (Juno).

He has also collaborated on glitch and electro-acoustic projects, performed at global festivals, and has been teaching music production since 2008. 

His sound is raw, bold, dope, and utterly unique.

I discovered Ikeaboy in 2018, featuring his tracks on my Facebook page, Selections with Eva. Though life and procrastination meant sporadic chats between us, we stayed in touch. As I prepared to relaunch my page this year, Damian was the first artist I thought of. He kindly shared 15 incredible tracks, two of which I’m thrilled to feature on my musical platforms.

Damian explains, ''This track is built around some textured noise as a riff and something that barely qualifies as melody played on a contrastingly smooth soft sound. I kept the percussion mostly propulsive with a foley noise I created adding more texture. I often think of my tracks as either describing machines or places, this is somewhere in between, maybe a machine exploring a space. The other sounds in the track are like encounters on the landscape of this ‘place’. The big, oversized chord drop is meant to feel like a sudden beam of light breaking through or a corner turned to where a huge vista can be seen''

Tracklist:

Appendix.files welcomes Clima, the alias of Berlin-based producer Samuel Stevenson, with the release of Transient State, a deeply immersive four-track EP that bridges atmospheric soundscapes and experimental rhythms. Drawing on a diverse range of influences from IDM to dub techno and combining ambient textures with the low-end weight of UK bass, Clima crafts a unique sonic palette that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant.

Building on the groundwork laid by his 2022 self-released EP Losing Phase, Transient State continues Clima’s exploration of layered field recordings, tactile sound design, and processed percussive elements. Each track offers a nuanced interplay between ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ sonic textures—digital percussion is tempered by analogue warmth, and fragmented rhythms find harmony within emotive ambient frameworks.

The EP’s standout moments reflect Clima’s wide-ranging influences and his ability to navigate the delicate tension between contrasting elements. On you(ether), Clima combines warm basslines, processed samples and scattered, broken percussion to create an ethereal soundscape. Meanwhile, 023 showcases Clima’s skill at merging field recordings, ambient textures, and IDM-inspired rhythms, with heavy bass and a half-time pulse that straddles the line between contemplative listening and dancefloor energy. Tracks like mutant dub and st highlight Clima’s ability to balance fractured club energy with introspective, atmospheric sound design, offering moments that feel equally suited to intimate listening or larger sound system settings.

APPX:15 – Clima – Transient State (previews)

Some tracks just stick with you — and Paul Walter has a knack for making them.

In 2019, I moved to Mannheim briefly and quickly immersed myself in its rich underground scene. One night, deep in the depths of an after-hours at the legendary Boeck, a hypnotic 12-minute minimal gem stopped me in my tracks. As Sedee played to a dedicated few, an unreleased masterpiece filled the room. It was so damn soothing for that early morning. I moved closer to the deck, poured another gin tonic for courage, and asked Dave for the track ID. It was an unreleased Paul Walter track, a producer I didn't know back then.

The track finally saw the light of day in 2023, released on the Austrian label Do Easy Records. 

@paulwalter is such a fantastic artist—I regularly check his Instagram to see what he's cooking.

Deep, dubby and most importantly trippy sounds from Melbourne-based selector https://soundcloud.com/isabel-nak. Layered with rich textures and pulsating rhythms, Nak's BSRMIX showcases her signature style in 1 hour and 40 minutes of deep listening bliss.

BSRMIX #158 - Nak

Contributing our latest episode is London’s ANNX, a regular figure within the city’s cutting-edge undercurrent whose many contributions include co-curation of the Whomp, Perspectives, and once-shrouded Magick events, and a residency at the beloved Above Below festival. Anna’s tireless dedication to the scene goes hand-in-hand with her unmistakable talent behind the decks, as evidenced by an impressive repertoire of mixes and set recordings, and which I was fortunate enough to witness first-hand last summer in the Chilterns. Here Anna demonstrates her well-honed craft over the course of two meticulously plotted hours, diving seamlessly into manifold forms of deep, heavy psychedelia before emerging in a wave of euphoric bliss. Thanks Anna!
