Enigmatic Japanese producer Shinichi Atobe evokes a range of sensations in his music that few others can. Whether he's listened to in headphones on a long journey, on the sofa on a lazy Sunday, deep into an afters or during a peak time reprieve, the rich, vivid strokes of his heady work has equal power to relax, heal, move, energise, envelop and flaw. 

Another scholar of patient tension-building in electronic music, Prins Thomas included Atobe in the footnote homage of his sixth album, alongside luminaries from all sounds and ages. As a mark of how much Atobe's work has impacted on his own, Thomas has paid tribute with an hour mix.

Fresh from Stochastic Drift, Barker’s buzzing second album named Bleep Record of the Month alongside an exclusive 12”, Barker sends a mix that really digs deep into the unique sonic methodology he has constructed across his solo career width a suitable breadth for what is also a milestone in the series, Bleep Mix #300.

From Debiasing to Utility to Stochastic Drift, Barker has been reimagining club music without its definitive thump, instead driven by melody and tactile synthesis, and this selection of tracks expands Barker’s soundworld with a host of artists walking a similar path. “For this mix, I picked out some of my favourite uptempo ambient tracks, recorded at home with two decks and a mixer. It’s music I've used in a lot of different contexts, as a DJ and listener, and I hope you enjoy it.”

Though the occasional dancefloor thump makes itself known, such as on Adriana Lopez’ ‘What Lies Behind’, it’s mostly in quaking subs rather than actual four to the floor, providing some ground for this mix’s airy freeform variety to fly over. We have the wooden plunks and seaspray of Afefe Iku’s Kenyan island sound, the wonky gamelan of Tyler Friedman’s maze of bells and chimes, the dense atmosphere of shaker-produced rain and electrical chirps forged deep in the ruins of The Future Sound Of London.

The midsection of this mix contains some magic in particular: the maestro of drumless trance Lorenzo Senni creates motion from pure jagged synth energy on ‘The Power of Failing’, dissolving into the aether of an unreleased Barker track, which further discharges into the kaleidoscopic stutters of Caribou’s ‘Never Come Back’ with jubilant piano chords and vocal clips wrought into a glitchy, swirling maelstrom of Koreless' prickly warmth. Digital Justice’s ‘Theme From It’s All Gone Pearshaped’ follows, a timeless staple for anyone wishing to dabble in melodic motion and synthsmithery, or any DJ set seeking to add some lift without losing momentum, of which this mix is in no short supply.

Bleep Mix #300 - Barker

A clinic in minimal from the elusive Acting Press boss. 

Why do certain sounds cultivate a cult following? Simply put, it's often because they resist easy consumption. PLO Man and his imprint Acting Press lean into this. 

Searching for the Berlin-based DJ and producer, you won’t find much online presence, interviews or conventional PR. What you will find, if you look hard enough, is a catalogue of records and mixes with a kind of tape hiss charm (a spiritual successor to Basic Channel and Chain Reaction, but scuzzier and lighter on its feet).

Founded in 2015, Acting Press once seemed to belong to the short-lived "outsider house" trend, but is now synonymous with a certain strain of modern minimal, one that is analogue, spacious and pointedly opaque. PLO Man's output is equally sparse by design: this week, he joins the RA Podcast with a characteristically elusive style, accompanying the near two-hour mix is a one-answer Q&A that gives almost nothing away.

Stripped-back, ever-so-slightly sleazy and coated in dust, PLO Man's RA Podcast continues that lineage in style. Opening with the featherlight microhouse of Margaret Dygas, RA.988 unfolds into a carefully curated spectrum of minimal, dub and deep techno. Among familiar names—look out for the blinding Rhythm & Sound and Moodymann blend—are deep cuts and left turns alongside the odd outlier, like lovers' rock pioneer Gregory Isaacs.

Like the best of his forebears, PLO Man wants RA.988 to take time for you to settle in. But once you do, you won’t want to leave.

A much-anticipated milestone in W's blossoming catalog, we proudly unveil our first V/A compilation, Diptyque: our panoramic compendium of 12 original creations that traverse seamlessly across borderlines, featuring captivating works by Ander Race & HOMIEZ, Leo Som, Andrew Sar, Charlie Holmen, Vaderat x Matias Bordon x Octavio Gimenez, Mike Lang, Antonio Gaudini, Flaor & Bohdvn, Far From Home, and Maribella x Ghem x Jeaneiffel.

Diving off the deep end, Diptyque welcomes us with Ander Race & HOMIEZ's "Can't Get Enough", a throbbing piece that blends dubbed out stabs with classic house chords for an electrifying entrance that sets the bar for the rest of the record. Following up, Leo Som steps up to the fore with "Mascara". A masterclass in tension, our second cut expertly bides its time, as delayed sequences interlock with swelling strings for an enthralling delivery.

Proceedings continue with Andrew Sar's "Heaven". Signaling a swift return from Sar to W, this cavernous take that balances meandering blips with piano stabs and chopped vocals over a slithering low end as mesmerizing shapes come alive in spellbinding alchemy. Next up, Charlie Holmen's "Cant Make You" goes deeper as lush vocals anchor this gem firmly into our souls with emotional finesse.

Coming up on the halfway mark, Vaderat, Matias Bordon & Octavio Gimenez come together for another collaboration in "Away", featuring Desiree Nemcik. Grounded by Nemcik's pristine topline, this gorgeous cut finds the production trio delivering a sultry moment as melodic embers draw arresting swirls in a gripping act of creation. Meanwhile, Mike Lang and Richard Farrell "Go With The Flow" as this Afro-laced cut works its primal magic with Farrell's irresistible vocals and crystal-clear melody drifting into the sundown.

This first installment of Diptyque continues with Antonio Gaudini as he treads over twilight with "Love & Lie", a phenomenal exercise in contrasts as a powerful low-end pulse propels us across a velvet blanket that engulfs us in its warm embrace. Uping the ante, Flaor & Bohdvn's  "Obelisk" presents us with an electric surge as restless synthetic sequences lead washed-out vocals over rising stabs and clipped drum programming for a hypnotic moment.

Closing in on the last curve, Far From Home's "Crescendo" ventures into the battlefield with a bold stance as swelling synthetics wash over us before gated explosions in the sky take us higher with each burst of color. Next, Maribella, Ghem, and Jeaneiffel take it away with "Blue Clouds." Polished, yet brimming with life, pulsating baselines and dotted synths glide over strings, leading to a delectable break in the clouds 

Venturing closer to the sun, Om Lila's "Formentor" marks the beginning of our turnaround with its immersive, retro-laced vibes, shimmering stabs, and unmistakable warmth. A truly arresting view for our comedown, this piece is the perfect soundtrack as we watch colors collapse into each other. On our final escapade, Eykah's sultry "Ngoma Ya Afrika" feels like the perfect homecoming as soulful vocals burrow deep inside this Afro-inspired masterpiece that bridges past and present for a dazzling today.
