1. Blood in the Water: A hard-hitting, aggressive anthem that reflects on resilience and overcoming adversity. The title track sets the tone for the album with its intense beats and powerful lyrical delivery.

2. Rowdy Rowdy and Bout It Bout It (feat. Lofi Phonk): A high-energy collaboration that blends raw, unapologetic vocals with a chill, laid-back lo-fi beat, creating a unique and unexpected dynamic.

3. Gravity's Wave: A melodic and introspective track that explores the inevitable pull of life's forces. The song's smooth rhythm and thoughtful lyrics create a sense of floating through challenges.

4. Hadoken (Darc Reign Variant): This track is a direct and impactful banger, a variant of a previous release, showcasing a faster pace and more intricate flow, like a powerful punch.

5. Under Da Sea: A fun, lighthearted track that serves as a moment of reprieve. It's a whimsical dive into a carefree world, with bouncy beats and playful wordplay.

6. Skinny and Reo (feat. Ronnie D & Donny the Producer): A collaboration track with a classic feel, bringing together multiple perspectives over a smooth and sophisticated beat.

7. Dare You Threaten Me!: A track that combines a sense of bravado and confidence with a slightly menacing undertone. It's a lyrical challenge laid down to anyone who doubts the artist's ability.

8. Tidal Power: A powerful, flowing track that builds in intensity like a surging tide. The song is an ode to inner strength and the ability to command one's own destiny.

9. Undertow Anthem: An immersive and emotional track that pulls the listener in with its depth and complexity. It's a deeper cut that rewards repeat listens, revealing new layers each time.

10. Undertow Anthem: (The image shows "Undertow Anthem" listed twice.) If this is intentional, this second track could be a different mix or a live version, perhaps a quieter, more acoustic take that contrasts with the first version's energy.

"Much sought after releases for Discos Capablanca & Love On The Rocks in recent years have elevated the cult status of this unsung Detroit DJ and producer. This hypnotic 13-minute beast of a track and hallucinatory B-side "EVERYTHING IS NICE" will solidify that status."   

"In dirty production and layers of inexplicable spoken-word samples (a Sharif calling card by now)we're lead to a melancholy place. With his ESP Institute debut, Sharif leaves you mentally unhinged. . ."

Fist Pumping (Stockholm Syndrome Au - Machine Cut)
Hit Me #33

Stockholm Syndrome are a DJ/producer duo based in Melbourne made up of Scottish born Iain Mac (aka Pyz) and Australian Brett Wilson (aka Wil-tron).  The unlikely duo, recognising their similar tastes came together to form Stockholm Syndrome in late 2013 after DJing at the same party.

Hailing from Edinburgh, Pyz has been DJing and promoting for over a decade.  With residencies at Split, Access and We… Electric he’s supported DJ Hell, The Hacker, Ivan Smagghe, Popof, Surgeon, Agoria, Luke Slater, Derek May and Kevin Saunderson to name a few.  After moving to Melbourne he formed Stray in 2012 and has been heavily involved in Yaldi Boomtime as resident and co-promoter.

Wil-tron discovered electronic music after dropping out of a Fine Art degree and a friend introduced him to artists such as Dopplereffekt, Aux 88 and Anthony Rother. He started producing his own tracks and made his debut performing live at Melbourne institution Meccanoid.  Since then he went on to perform at various clubs such as Boney (then Pony), The Mercat and the infamous Honky Tonks supporting the likes of Legowelt, Bangkok Impact, DJ TLR and Modeselektor.

Stockholm Syndrome’s style varies widely and unapologetically, it can’t be neatly wrapped up into a single genre.  They’re drawn to dark, moody, sub 120bpm techno, the energetic, raw and powerful Mex-tech, the Slo-Mo and the Balearic, Drug Chug and the strange.  Since their debut at Section 8 in Melbourne, they’ve gone on to clock up an impressive gig list DJing at many of the city’s iconic venues including Revolver Upstairs, New Guernica, The Liberty Social, Boney and The Mercat.

2015 saw the boys play an inspired closing set at the inaugural Piknic Electronik Melbourne, a twisted, genre-bending set at Unfold/001 and their first two original productions have been well received by other artists such as Gemini Brothers, id!r and Death by Repetition.

2016 started off with a bang when they opened the Sunset Stage at Rainbow Serpent Festival, widely regarded as one of the best music, art and lifestyle festivals in the world.  This was quickly followed-up with a return to Piknic Electronik Melbourne where they performed to a sell-out crowd warming up for The Hacker.  They also rounded out a big year with an appearance at Strawberry Fields Festival along with the support for Carl Craig on New Year’s Eve.

Stockholm Syndrome continue to keep themselves busy gigging around Melbourne, curating the monthly ‘Hostage Radio’ podcast and interview series, putting on their own ‘Cognitive Dissidence’ parties and co-running the recently launched ‘Tilt Shift’ events.  On top of this the pair have been focusing more on producing and remixing with their debut EP ‘Drowning Zombies’ released on Nein Records (UK) in November 2016 a remix of Dan Solo + Le Blanc Casanova also on Nein released in May 2017 followed by another for Tronik Youth released on Roam Recordings (USA) in June.  2018 already promises to be a big year, returning to Piknic Electronik and a number of original productions and remixes already signed and scheduled for release early in the year.

Andrem  'Ascención' (daWad Remix) * Out Now *

The river was the only route out of the city. It stretched for miles and miles, ebbing and flowing with the breeze that carried it along. Dark green leaves and sprawling branches formed a canopy over the water, protecting this natural place from prying eyes. It felt peaceful, a place for escaping the stresses of city life. In fact, this river held many secrets, stories that would make your hair stand on end. Its beauty was simply a facade...

Next up on XXX, the Dutch label run by DJ and producr SHMLSS, is good friend and Bordello A Parigi alumni Stijn Sadée. After two contributions to earlier releases for the label, he's now set to release his first original EP on the label, which features a remix from Smala boss Manfredas that they locked in after the Lithuanian producer saw Stijn play live last year. The aesthetics of the label are down to Stijn's brother Thomas who worked closely with him to create something that fitted with the music and his influences.

PREMIERE: Stijn Sadée - Dynamite Fishing [XXX]

Smoke ebbed and flowed through the warehouse, engulfing all dancers in its path. Through the haze you could make out countless sweaty writhing bodies, eyes closed or heads down; each and every one lost in their own world. Their hips oscillating and swaying with every kick and stab that punctured the room. Their bodies were slave to the rhythms. 

Close family Timothy Clerkin pays tribute the foundations of rave music with a contemporary vision with his new EP Psalm. Set for release on his own Insult To Injury imprint, that he runs alongside us at R$N HQ, it features three originals torn from the late night good book. 'Slave Too' - which also gets a remix on the flip from Simian Mobile Disco's Jas Shaw - takes things up a gear following opener 'Psalm', bringing with it heavy breaks and detuned stabs that transport us back to the early 90s.
