Darwin

In the lead-up to Love International 2021, we’re launching Transmission to Tisno on crackaud.io – a series of b2b mixes from separate locations, featuring festival favourites and new artists joining the line-up this year.

SPE:C boss Darwin links with London-based DJ and fellow sub-bass fiend Parris. Their b2b is expectedly heavy as they race through tracks from the likes of LCY and LSDXOXO, before meandering through misty-eyed vibes thanks to a touch of trance.

FELIX - Drilling Company [SPE:C 015 12] PREVIEW

Darwin (@darwinspec) juggles many different roles in dance music as well as she juggles her records in the DJ booth. The Canadian-born, Berlin-based artist runs her own REEF parties at Berghain, and has nurtured a wealth of emerging talents on her SPE:C label. She is also the founder of Clean Scene, a climate action collective that wants to explore a more sustainable future for dance music. They recently authored a stark report about the industry's carbon footprint, which you can read through cleanscene.club/report.pdf. 

Darwin's sound is rooted in various UK styles, from bass to dubstep, garage to breakbeat. That is evident in the 100-minute mix she lays down for us this week. It opens with thoughts about environmentalism and some indigenous jungle recordings before grinding through chunky Afro drum patterns and supersized bass. The pressure builds throughout, the cavernous rhythms grow ever more muscular as the urge to snake your body becomes overwhelming. It's a perfectly balanced, well-controlled mix that showcases the irresistible power of heavyweight bass music.

Fact Mix 870: Darwin (Aug '22)

Recording of Darwin's set at Dekmantel Festival 2022.

Darwin at Dekmantel Festival 2022

The "almost" Breton fa:act is back with Club Toolz, a self-pro- duced 2 tracks EP which smells good the west of France: dub vibes and butter.

On Amnesia Stoner, we first seem to attend the bad trip of a joint smoker that the product has satellised in a celestial beyond where a hypnotic bass makes the planes capsize. We finally come back on the ground with Butter Cutter, in the middle of a crazy chase with policemen in exit of party, while in the distance the DJs continue to make vibrate the sound-system in a cloud of tear gas.

Two hyper energetic tracks, which beyond the literature, push to the loss of control, whether it is in the middle of a club with a bubbling concrete floor or outside, stuck in the mud up to the knees.

PREMIERE: DJ RUSSIAN AIDS - BANG SKI [BASS WATER FREAK OUT]

Listen to "Non Mai" by Eomac Fr. Wihtner FaGo taken from "Wihtner FaGo - Non Axebo Redit VA" out on 31 August via Behuá Icára

Bandcamp: https://behuaicara.bandcamp.com/album/wihtner-fago-non-axebo-redit-va

The third release of Behua Icára is an EP - VA of reworks from the album “Non Axebo” by Withner FaGo, an activist and rapper from the Shipibo Konibo Xetebo community. Singing in his native language, FaGo narrates myths and legends, as well as stories of cultural and environmental resistance from his community in the central Peruvian Amazon.

Some of these stories emerge from the collective’s imagination and worldview of his community, such as “Chaikonibo,” which refers to enchanted men who protect the jungle; “Non Nete” - Our World - which describes the four indigenous worldviews of the community: Jakon Nete (The Upper World), Non Nete (The Earthly World), Pashin Nete (The Underworld), and Jene Nete (The Water World); and “Mai Yoshin” - Land of Demons - a generational tale from Pucallpa.

“Non Mai” - Our Land - a protest song against oil companies and deforestation, has been reinterpreted by Eomac, with a harsh and frantic percussive syntax, making it the perfect soundtrack for frontline defense.
