CRAVE CAST 022 - XPRESSO MARTINA

Cate Hortl's sound can't be pigeonholed. Having previously shared music under two projects Ambeyance & October Lieber, she's been refining her output as Cate Hortl for the last couple of years - sometimes it'll move your body and at others it'll urge you to look inwards.

Straddling shades of light and dark, her releases for labels like Astropolis Records, Ritmo Fatale and WARRIORECORDS pairs her love of 80's inspired sounds, like EBM and darkwave, with contemporary club rhythms and electronic sounds. 

Her latest release comes in the form of a remix for Justine Forever's new EP 'Out Of The Blue', on our sub-label Human Endeavour - adding cold-wave tinged synths and dark pop sensibilities into the mix. That partnership with Justine will continue too, soon she'll release a new EP for Justine's own label Club Forever, so keep your eyes and ears peeled for that dropping in the near future.

But first, she has a brand new mix to share with you... As Cate suggests, this mix is best enjoyed in the comfort of your home whilst thunder and lightning crashes down outside; an easy situation to find yourself in when you live in the UK. So sit back, relax and let her potent cocktail of dark, moody sonics wash over you.

Eva comes from Slovakia where she spent her teenage years playing bass guitar and singing in hardcore and punk bands. During her visit to London she suddenly found herself standing in the middle of Fabric’s dancefloor and needles to say, she loved what she heard there. After relocating to Brno she met Psj and Møreti and a deep friendship has started which generated a small record store or the locally unparalleled club phenomenon – the MUAH events. Eva is an eager sonic explorer, who binds all her influences into mystical adventures. Aside from regular spots in dozens of clubs around central Europe, Eva holds a residency at Radio Punctum with her Anemone show. It’s sometimes slower, at times just more daring, but doesn’t differ that much from her club slots. Taking your shoes off together with any other constraints holding you back is what Eva highly appreciates.

Words from DJ Alekzandra:

"Why is mixtape art so important to me? Why mixtape?
Because it’s not just a collection of mine favourite tracks, but rather a closed whole, where every element is important for the whole show. This is a favourite stage of creating a mixtape-looking for points of contact, dialogue between the sound and emotions that the songs carry".

"My adventure with minimal synth, cold wave music began in 2018 with my fascination with album covers from my favourite record label, TONN Recordings. It was the photographs that were the impetus to get to know the collection of this excellent label. The first mixtape that was created in 2020 for Transmission / Transmission was just inspired by both TONN albums and the visual side - covers of the presented albums. For the next few years, also I used my own photographs for mixtape covers. From 2020 I made several mixtapes for Peruvian InClub Radio and Wave Press music blog".

This mixtape is called "NO FEAR”.
