Mutzentration #36 / 09.03.2024 on Reboot.fm

Step into cinematic electronica with Polycarp boss Simon Ferdinand's latest creation, the 'Six Months' EP. Born from a journey spanning Sicily, Baltimore, and Zanzibar, this musical odyssey encapsulates the essence of his travels and experiences. 

Today, we're excited to premiere 'Broken,' the lead track from the EP. 'Broken' sets the stage with its enigmatic fusion of hazy, glitched-out jazz loops, expertly obscured and processed throughout. Ferdinand's masterful manipulation of loops and tapes ensures a constant element of surprise, never allowing for a moment of predictability. With a nod to the experimentalism and minimalism of Jan Jelinek's early 2000s work, 'Broken' creates a similar depth and complexity, showcasing a unique playfulness of sound manipulation.

The 'Six Months' EP will debut on vinyl on March 22, followed by a digital release on May 9.

Taken from " Bonn -XIIX EP (Polycard Records)".  Out December 18th 2024. Buy here : https://polycarprecords.bandcamp.com/music

Bonn return to Polycarp Records this December with more of their unique twist on electronica, house and techno with the ‘XIIX’ EP.
Hamburg, Germany’s duo Simon Ferdinand and Basch better known under their Bonn guise have individually and together been delivering soul-infused electronic music over the past decade, predominantly via their own Polycarp Records. Here the pair return once again with a new three-track, once again showcasing the depth and dynamism of their production prowess.
Leading the EP is ‘Son Air’, a tripped out journey traversing through glitchy broken percussion, spoken word vocals, dreamy synth chimes and elongated subs before the latter half of the compositions works in a heavy breakbeat drum workout and rave stab sequence.
‘Phase 2 Face’ then showcases the duo’s deeper side, fusing bumpy toms, sturdy kicks and shuffled hats with ethereal textures, boomy low end tones and airy synth chimes. The aptly titled ‘Tension’ then rounds out the release, a subtly blooming, cinematic groove fuelled by an intricate rhythm section, weighty subs, choppy chords and vacillating atmospherics throughout.

@baschhh
@Polycarp-records
Bandcamp: https://polycarprecords.bandcamp.com/album/parallax-memories
Release Date: January 15th, 2024
Info: Basch offers up his ‘Parallax VHS Memories’ EP via Polycarp Records this January, comprising four original cuts from the German native.

Jan Frederic is a DJ, producer and graphic designer coming out of the northern hub of Hamburg, Germany. Producing material under the alias Basch, Jean Crémant under which he dropped an EP on Johannes Albert’s Frank Music, and as one half of Bonn alongside Polycarp’s own Simon Ferdinand. Here though he’s flying solo as Basch with a fresh four-tracker.

‘Delayed Trains’ leads and lays down hazy, dubbed out atmospherics, elongated bass tones, warbling synth lines and reverberated percussion, all subtly unfurling throughout its six minute duration. ‘Error Tape’ is up next, embracing a more experimental feel with clattering saturated drums, hypnotic synth chimes and murky bass hits.

PREMIERE Simon Ferdinand - A1 (Polycarp Records)

@Polycarp-records
Bandcamp: https://polycarprecords.bandcamp.com/album/unsigned
Info: Simon Ferdinand returns to his own Polycarp Records this February with the ‘Unsigned’ EP, a four-track project of unnamed cuts designed to let the music do the talking. Since 2016 the Simon Ferdinand helmed Polycarp Records has been slowly unveiling material which meanders through genres but keeping a raw, underground aesthetic at its core.
'A1’ opens with haunting synth tones, gritty bass stabs and fluttering wooden percussion before the ‘A2’ ups the energy levels with weighty 808 drums, snaking resonant synth licks and bright leads all dynamically evolving throughout. ‘A3’ then turns things up a notch further with twitchy metallic synth, heavily saturated drums, snappy snare drums and airy atmospherics and intricately delayed synth melodies. ‘A4’ then concludes the EP, stripping things back to a more raw, reduced state as smooth pads, fluttering synths and electronic bleeps ebb and flow amongst a crisp, tight drum groove.

M.RUX @ Dubstation | Fusion Festival 2024 ФУЗИОН

my last and latest mix for dubstation fusion 2025, cheers and goodbye

M.RUX @ Dubstation | Fusion Festival 2025 ФУЗИОН

This is the very first edition of 'Local Update' – new monthly mix series. 

The idea is to share music every month – tracks I’ve produced, recently bought, or newly curated. A key element of this series is layering tracks that complement each other in mood, rhythm, or texture. I often let them run together for extended periods, blending them in a way that creates something new – not quite a remix, not exactly an edit, but something in between. It’s about finding unexpected harmony and giving familiar sounds a fresh context.

Playlist:

1. Prince of Denmark 01 + Water (Marcel Dettmann featuring Ryan Elliott)
2. #32 Walrus (ex_libris featuring A Made Up Sound) + Exoplanet (Sys)
3. Cenotes (Luigi Tozzi) + Annihilation (Blazej Malinowski)
4. Dirty Hands (Passarani) + Destination Danger (Du Rififi Au Katanga)
5. Talk to me (Passarani)
6. Breakfast at Brian’s (Pain Struck Stanley Dumb) + Fragments of Moments (Johannes Volk)
7. Veddel Baav - Robag Wruhme
8. Neredesin (Erobique, Jacques Palminger) + #32 Walrus (ex_libris featuring A Made Up Sound)

local update-july 25

The DJ and producer based in Hamburg St. Pauli has already made a name for himself: with some deep sounds between house and techno, he has already released his music on various labels.  Since 2016 he has been running his own label POLYCARP RECORDS. Here he wants to create a base to release his own tracks and works with friends and artists who match his idea or share his vision of contemporary dance music.
