Kylok(@Angelas_37) - OXY(Karkasas & Deemon Remake)

Boikafé is a club music producer & DJ from Vilnius who came from the rap scene and fell in love with various rhythmic cultures from all around the world blending with the sound of contemporary club.

I chose “Funky - Tik tau” while digging and sampling 90s-00s lithuanian dance music. The project was stuck in trap beat form for quite a while. When the talks about this bootleg compilation were started, i thought it would sound way better in the form of gen Z rave music. As a rythm prince, I, of course wanted for the subwoofers to reach their potential and let them hit you like an upper cut to the liver.

NEW HIT coming at you today! Happy to present you JE DANSE by ACIDFINKY, representing the BLVSH collective who not only do important work on the ground for the Berlin scene but also have an excellent compilation coming out on September 20. All the benefits from the sales will be donated to NARUD: https://narud.org

JE DANSE is one of 8 tracks on BLVSH001 which presents a wide array of contemporary clubs sounds by FINTGA artists from Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands.

ACIDFINKY's opener mixes half-time and 4/4 elements on a wobbly baseline with her own vocals on top. A dreamy yet sharp composition that is meant to reflect on the state you might know when leaving the club after a good party.

NEW HIT: Acidfinky - Je Danse [BLVSH]

"The track comes from a VA encompassing tracks by 7 artists released by BLVSH, a Berlin-based collective committed to contributing to a much needed increase in the visibility of women, trans and non-binary folks and their blossoming in a still male-dominated clubbing scene.

Half of the tracks are from our crew members, while the other half are from guests dear to us. Active members of the FLINTGA* scenes and communities in Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands.

Asher's ep HOUSE OF DOORS (HOD) is equal parts calm and psycho, just like the ocean which inspires him. HOD was recorded in the actual HOD, a small shack built of second hand doors in which asher grew up and now periodically takes to haunting. Since the HOUSE of DOORS was built by asher’s family, one thousand years have passed. The Ocean has risen and Swallowed the Land. Moray & Electric eels are the main residents of HOD now & asher’s ghost plays to them XxXx

+++@warningberlin +++ @arelizramos +++

Areliz Ramos, also formerly known as ‘Milkshlk’ (Female Pressure, Napp), is a producer from Peru who's musical storytelling skills are reflected in her carefully crafted mixes as well as in her versatile productions. 
 Her track ‘Rush’ for the first Warming Compilation is a beautiful piece to warm your heart during cold and grey days."

Warming, the introspective division of Warning, was launched by resident Mars Leder as an “off the (Rave) track” mix series in 2019. Since then the aim has been to provide warm vibes in a cold world to help us unwind in hectic times. We’re now expanding the
sub-project and present to you WARM01, the first Ambient music release on Warning. With seven mindfully selected tracks from Areliz Ramos, Yhdessa, Caldera, Premis, Lewi Boome, Vertical67, and Warning resident Philipp Otterbach with his new project KYN, a collaboration with Sebastian Eubel. The compilation aims to reflect the versatility of the genre, from mellow textures and floating voices to fractal patterns and rapturous basslines. Don’t expect any ordinary elevator music or beach cafe vibes - this one will be chill, but it’s still a Warning.

WARM01 comes as a digital compilation accompanied by a C90 cassette tape, including a DJ mix by Mars Leder featuring all tracks from the compilation plus an extract from Sam’s closing set of our 5Y Warning party in August 2022.

+++@allerendeanfang +++ @kolbrunklara +++

Aller Ende Anfang releases their first Various Artists EP, encompassing 5 energetic tracks opening up a spectrum from breaky to straight, from powerful to dreamy. Side A pushes forward with flickering breakbeat electro by Icelandic Jadzia.

The Rejkjavik based DJ & Producer already made herself a name through releases f. e. on International Chrome, /none, Crazed Behaviour & Raiders, just to name a few. Be prepared for a razor sharp and contagiously energetic track that showcases stomping 808s and algific acid.

As part of Pollination's second 'Open Culture: No Borders' volume, Yorkshire-born, London-based Kitsta delivers the track 'Tendrilla' as part of the 40-track compilation. The slow-paced but heavy weight cut takes you on a hypnotic, mind-melting realm while at the same time it caters dancefloors all over.

Open Culture: No Borders is a campaign demonstrating solidarity with refugees and asylum seekers, as an ongoing response to the UK government’s ‘Hostile Environment Policy’. The policy has involved a slew of regressive legislations, intended to create a deliberately challenging environment for migrants to settle. In the process, we are seeing cruel approaches to the treatment of refugees and asylum seekers, the use of provocative language intended to create division and the adaption of laws which offer protection of human rights for all.

Proceeds go to Safe Passage International, who support unaccompanied children seeking asylum to reunite safely with their families across Europe, and campaign for more accessible, safer routes.
