ITPS069 DOC SCOTT

Not Safe For Wax returns after nearly 2 years of absence with Scarlet Pattern, a celestial debut LP from it's founder & curator, Miagma. Across an exuberant palette of eight genre morphing tracks, he paints a reflective picture of a recent journey through love, loss & the lessons in between.

Floating downtempo lines blur with deep, seductive leftfield grooves, showcasing Miagma's timeless contemporary sound as it blends with his newfound approaches to synthesis & arrangement. Each track points to a memory from the various seasons of a tumultuous relationship - from the bright shades of summertime (Megumi's Flight, Hot Hot Honey, View From The U) to autumn's melancholy (Trauma Bondage, A Comb For Daphne), and finally the eventual decay of winter (Inoculation, Open Door Policy). The album closes with Betsubara, a shimmering reminder that something sweeter is on spring's horizon - so let go of the past, and love from all distances.

NSFW009 / Miagma - Scarlet Pattern LP

Sludge-induced gutter techno acid punk fused with a Trash Can NRG releasing 10/27/2023. Pre-order Digital and limited edition cassette release on Bandcamp here:

LEFT HAND PATH presents a statement from PHREAKERS:

PHREAKERS: Seeking to form a new band styled project with live instruments and vocals.. but one that also uses a lot of sampling. In a rehearsal studio, we began to track raw punk rock using bass, drumset, guitar, vocals and the SH-01A and PHREAKERS was born. It all started with a Can of Beans…

Many of the tracks were made in an EXCITED state, later we went back and listened to them and thought : wait- did we make this, what was that?? Exercising our most DEMENTED sonic ideas, playing the guitar incorrectly through 12 effect pedals, scraping it with RANDOM SHIT.

Four handed BASSLINES played with a bow, sampling pig calling contests, just the most far out shit we could come up with . Doing everything incorrectly, welcome to the PHREAKERS sound. Waves of CHAOS, beautiful MADNESS...

The concept of the debut tape is to GO INSIDE a trash can because you ARE a trash can. You dirty piece of f*#$%&@$ shit. PHREAKERS also grooves somehow, in a DEMENTED way. We also love you.

On the other side of the tape we made some wide open...  more

Juanita's Mix 095 with Ex Wiish @exwiiiiiish

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. Chaotic great. Fly or die. Drifter. 

Q. How long have you been a part of the NY music scene?
A. I’ve lived in New York since 2015 but became heavily involved in the scene around 2020 after forming my band Nu Jazz, starting Ex Wiish and organizing shows with 29 Speedway. I’m all about the cats, the heads and in it for the d.i.y. forever & always. 

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. I wanted to make the mix a bit more “mellow” (._.`) than usual, for the lonely stoners, to free their cluttered minds at night of course. You know how it is, you get home from a long day at the “office”, take off your custom Hugo Boss suit, tie, and loafer set, and all you can think is, “Damn, I just need a hit, pronto. What the fuck is my life, and who the fuck have I become? Who is my wife?”. So the mix is here to cure those ailments, my friends. It’s a bit more laidback, kinda sexy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), sometimes scary. Just my usual range of emotions on a daily basis.

pi pi pi with Teeyam @ The Lot Radio 12-09-2023

This year marks 15 years since I started my service in the online underground. Time flies when you are having fun right?! I remember when I (as non dj) heard something on the radio back then, that was just it. Nobody put that on soundcloud or youtube for you to listen to again. I was telling myself there must be more people that want to listen to some tracks over and over again. That's how it all started. Ripping tracks from radio shows, uploading some cool tracks that were hot in that time period (remember post-dubstep & future garage?),there were even a few people sending me their music to upload! The moment I started doing the video edits was life changing. Not only for me but for all the people we (music youtubers) made hot in the era of lo-fi house. Happy to see some of them rockin big stages today!

Since then, this has been my everyday, 24/7/365! Paid my dues & made the sacrifices. Was it worth it? Damn right! Though I have to admit that I never intended to start djing myself. I was forced to by the community! I am happy I sold my bike so I can buy speakers and started.

Music took me around the world. With music I met a bunch of amazing people who did not hesitate to spend their money and time just to meet the guy they know from youtube. For this I will forever be grateful!

Like 5 years ago, also this time I have a mix for you! I just wanted to put together a mix full of my all time favorite jams. The result is an almost six hour journey through different genres & styles. I also wanted to include music made by people I have some history with. Baltra, Bambounou, Fjaak, Route 8 or Kettama, to name a few (and a whole lotta more!). Expect a lot of hits! Slow jams, House, Techno, UK sound and more.

Thanks for believing in me, it truly means everything!

THE MOSKALUS MIX SERIES EXTRA: Moskalus (15 YEARS OF MOSKALUS 5H SPECIAL)

BUY VINYL: https://doc-sleep.bandcamp.com/album/cloud-sight-fade
Doc Sleep returns to Dark Entries with Cloud Sight Fade, an album of ethereal house and techno. Doc Sleep is the alias of DJ and producer Melissa Maristuen. Following 2023’s Birds, her ambient and IDM-leaning debut album, Cloud Sight Fade shows Doc drawing on her years of queer clubbing to bring us seven diverse tracks sitting between muscular New York house, Berlin twilight techno, and funky West-coast breakbeats. Production began in the Bay Area and was completed in Berlin; Maristuen says that this work became a love letter to the West Coast’s magnificent natural landscape, the light of the Pacific sunrise. While draped in dreamlike textures and melodies, this is also a record about embodiment and the memories that live within our corporeal forms. The powerful grooves on the breakbeat-inflected “Lemon Zest” and the propulsive “Cloud Sight Fade” remind us that dance music is for bodies dancing. Meanwhile, tracks like the sparkling album-closer “Enchanted Static” or the brooding groover “Water Sign” plunge us deeper into hypnotic depths. On Cloud Sight Fade, Doc Sleep guides us through slumber and wakefulness, in and out of our bodies, with the mastery of a seasoned DJ and clubgoer.

https://soundcloud.com/michael-claus
https://michaelclaus.bandcamp.com/album/gradient-dreams-ep

Drawn from live performances in San Francisco and Sacramento between 2022 and 2023, Michael Claus’ latest 4-track EP distills the energy, experimentation and atmosphere of those sets into a focused studio release. Loops, textures, and rhythmic sketches originally crafted for the dance floor and shaped in real time by crowd energy, space, and intuition have been reshaped into four fully realized tracks—each one carrying traces of the environments and moments that first gave them life.

From the high-velocity percussion and drive of “Gradient Dreams” to the low slung and staggered swing of “Plastic Soul,” Claus weaves together a palette of saturated percussion, hazy atmospheres and pixelated melodies. “AI Instinct” locks into a hypnotic and machine-link churn of syncopated 909s and a minimalist 303, while “Invisible Beach” closes things out with a groovy melody that feels half dream, half machine. There’s a distinctly cybernetic mood running throughout—neon-tinted and lo-fi, like glimpses of a decaying city’s sprawl refracted through smoke and chrome.

Influenced by the retro-futurist visions of authors like William Gibson, Claus taps into a sound both worn and futuristic, pulsing with motion yet heavy with atmosphere. The result is a collection that feels lived-in and cinematic. Whether heard in a club or in solitude, the EP offers a snapshot of Claus’ creative loop between performance and production, memory and reinvention.

UPDATE on our upcoming release pre-order, “Gradient Dreams” EP.

We have decided to donate all proceeds of this release to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, whose mission it is to supply medical aid, treatment, food, water, and necessities to families affected by the ongoing crisis. They also focus on rebuilding healthcare facilities, and funding trauma counseling and mental health services to foster healing in the community.

From the BBC ( https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz63jnx52l0o ):

“The IPC assessment, released on Monday, found half a million people - or one in five - were facing starvation in Gaza. It said nearly 71,000 children under the age of five are expected to be acutely malnourished over the next 11 months to April 2026.”

From PBS ( https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/as-israels-blockade-pushes-gaza-towards-famine-aid-workers-say-they-feel-helpless ):

“After months of trying to raise alarm, humanitarian workers are overflowing with anger, frustration and horror over Israel’s nearly three-month blockade of Gaza. The Associated Press spoke to over a dozen aid workers, some with years of experience in emergencies around the world and Palestinians who have worked through this and other wars.

They say what is happening in Gaza is a catastrophe, among the worst they have ever seen. It’s more painful, they say, because it’s man-made, caused by Israel cutting off all food, fuel, medicine and other supplies to the territory nearly 11 weeks ago.

The world’s top authority on food crises last week warned of famine unless the blockade ends. Almost the entire population of around 2.3 million is acutely malnourished, and one in five Palestinians are on the brink of starvation, it said.” (from PBS)

Please consider making your own contribute to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.  You can make a donation and learn more about their work on their website:
