Retrospect 079 | Somnolent Works (@somnolent_works)

-

Józef Flakus, also known as Somnolent Works, is a producer, DJ and music explorer based in Upper Silesia. He is passionate about breakbeat/jungle rhythms, old school electro, and techno music, often with robotic and strong elements. He loves to break conventions and explore new musical directions taken from different genres of music. The gritty and atmospheric landscape of factories, mines, and steelworks of his hometown region has had a significant impact on his music, particularly in its darker and more experimental elements. Somnolent Works sound often reflects the mechanical rhythms and metallic textures of the industrial world.

He is a regular member of the CEL club in Katowice, where he can be heard playing his eclectic selections from behind the decks. His latest releases include his debut EP titled "Surface Noise" which was self-released at the end of 2021. The EP showcases his distinctive style of noisy breakbeat rhythms, while also exploring new musical directions. In late 2022, he released the "Paperclip" single on the SKAN Records (@skan-rec) compilation, which further demonstrated his ability to craft intricate and immersive soundscapes within the electro genre. On March 23rd, 2023, he released another, four-track EP, called "Elephant On Drugs" on the POTOP Records (@potoprecords) in Katowice.

ANTIBURN HOTCAST #82 with Somnolent Works (@somnolent_works)

"Get ready for the experimental but still danceable stuff I've prepared for this special occasion. You'll find lots of bass melodies, fast and saturated 808's, and my favorite noisy electro-basslines straight from the iconic Pro-One synthesizer. It's a combination of my new discoveries, but with a respect for the older tunes, which are continually a huge influence on me. I couldn't resist making room for a track from my newly formed label, called “No Photo Policy.” Definitely check out the full release as it is a BANGING opener! This is not a test" - Somnolent Works

HOTCAST#82  with «Somnolent Works»

Fractal Resonance is a sonic journey into the intricate layers of bass music and beyond. This set seamlessly weaves together deep, immersive soundscapes and pulsating rhythms, exploring subgenres like dub techno, breakbeat, experimental bass with tribal and UK Funky flavors. Each track contributes to a larger, evolving pattern, resonating with textures and shifting energy.

Rooted in the balance between organic grooves and synthetic precision, Fractal Resonance traverses vibrant beats, atmospheric lows, and fractured rhythms. From sturdy basslines to tribal-infused percussions and spacey soundscapes, this mix invites listeners to explore the boundaries of rhythm and sound.

It's my reflection of passion for creating immersive experiences, using sound to connect with listeners on the dancefloor and beyond. It features tracks by producers whose sounds I resonate with the most - artists whose music aligns with my own journey through rhythm and texture.

Tune in and let the resonance unfold.

Cover design by me.

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.
