Daniel Osthues, DJ & creator of Addicted-2-Bass discovered his passion for rough Detroit Techno/Electro at the age of 14.

The passion for new music while at the same time watching his favourite DJs spin records with incredible skill soon led to the goal to be in the same position one day.

Gaining the necessary skillset over the years, he soon found himself spinning at DJ contests and being invited to local Underground music stations as a guest DJ.

Drawing upon an expansive record collection, his sets nowadays span from classic early 90’s Cybotron informed Electro to some rare gems from the hard-hitting Berlin, Detroit & The Hague scene.

"Event Horizon" bends the perception of cause and effect, questioning whether events in space and time can be tracked, predicted, or even controlled. Is coincidence truly random, or is it an illusion of perspective? The third release in the No Photo Policy cycle comes from Begu, a producer who thrives in the space between structure and spontaneity. Across four tracks, he explores improvisation and repetition in fractured forms, weaving deep bass and cosmic textures into a soundscape where beauty and distortion collide. Begu crafts music as a visceral experience—one that resonates in both body and mind, pushing the listener beyond the threshold of certainty into the unknown.

Transpac - Text To Speech LP (D91013)

Noumen returns to Central Processing Unit after a six-year absence with Altum. This bumper record, the Ukrainian artist’s fourth release for the Sheffield label and first since 2019 double-LP Obscurium, serves to remind us all why Noumen’s music has been lauded by the likes of Mixmag and Resident Advisor in the past. Altum is a consummate piece of contemporary electronic production, a technoid exploration of outer-edges electronica that nods to genre greats like Autechre while still maintaining its own unconventional charm.

Across well over an hour of music here we find Noumen repeatedly playing punchy mid-tempo beat work off of some more cerebral tuned synths. Altum kicks off with the epic ‘Oion’ - beginning in that Autechre/AFX mid-tempo zone, full of deep-sea bangs and whirrs, the track slowly builds to a final stretch of delay-drenched keys which set us free amidst the outer cosmos, almost Sun Ra-style. It’s a perfect liminal-space roller and an apt scene-setter for Altum.

‘Oion’ provides a blueprint for several of the album’s other highlights - plenty of the joints here adopt that same approach of hitting hard with the drums and soft with the synths. Second track ‘Splitter’ takes on the baton from ‘Oion’ while souping up the kick to warehouse levels; the beats in ‘Far Wind’ splutter like a needle skipping on a mid-90s Tresor drop; ‘Fate Carette’, all eerie looped synth leads, is a highlight as the album enters the home straight.

The rhythm production (which, it should be noted, is exemplary throughout Altum) is ratched up in intensity on a handful of numbers. ‘Telemask’ displays a delightful breakbeat - if you’d told me this was sampled from golden age A Tribe Called Quest, I’d have believed you. Mid-section anchors ‘Awe’ and ‘Axis’ are glitchers in the Mike Paradinas mould, with the latter showing off some pleasing steel pan-esque synth leads for good measure. And while Altum generally maintains a processional pace throughout, there are points where Noumen toughens up the drums for club deployment - ‘Unveilness’ shows off a real chunkiness in the low end, closer ‘Spurling Sign’ plays a satisfying rolling groove off of ever-layering synths, and the title-track is an alien machine-funker in keeping with fellow CPU electronauts like Silicon Scally and Cygnus.

Noumen’s third album for Central Processing Unit is a pleasingly hefty double-LP which builds on the zany invention of acts like Modeselektor and Autechre to delightful effect.

Noumen - Altum

https://soundcloud.com/shhron is a Katowice-based DJ and producer, affiliated with initiatives such as the WE LECIM collective and the Fisherman’s Bass Club event series. Since his debut on the scene in 2020, he has cultivated a multi-genre approach to selection. While his beginnings were rooted mainly in electro and techno, his constant drive to seek out fresh sounds has gradually shifted the core of his sets toward genres defined by deep low-end frequencies. Today, he is most often associated with the broad spectrum of UK Techno, Latin Bass, Leftfield Bass, Dubstep, and UK Garage.

Despite his relatively short career as a producer, his tracks have already been released on labels such as the French DALF Records, TETE VIDE, and Wrocław’s Synapsa.

The mix recorded for Strikt can be seen as a kind of journey back to the roots of the Katowice artist, yet with a fresh selection. Dominated by techno close to his own sonic sensibilities, it avoids being loud or hard-edged, instead delivering energy through groove, vocal snippets, and diverse percussive elements.
