This is the first in a new series of Podcasts we're going to run here on L.I.E.S. artists as well as select artists affiliated with the label. DJ mixes. Radio shows. Live PA's. Spoken word. Used car commercials...the whole shebang! Get ready to enter a new realm of skimming through mixes, trying to id tracks and most importantly CRITICAL ANALYSIS! This is the stuff to be taken to Techno University and dissected in the lab.

Moving forward the first mix is by Gunnar Haslam, NYC resident, producer, and yes, DJ. Mr. Haslam has a new 2xlp coming out any day on L.I.E.S. Here he provides us with a nice long excursion spanning all your favorite genres, sub-genres and sun-sub-genres. Expertly mixed, well paced and yes even a couple of nice surprises if you're patient. Keep your ears open for this guy.

The jitter from the machine bounced around the room. It sent electric waves spinning between the cracked walls and cast a warmth throughout the dirty, dank basement. The people in the room did not care, they simply enjoyed the relentless sound of my bleep as it echoed eerily down the tunnel. The brick wall rocked abruptly as it shuddered under the weight of the noise. Water dripped from the ceiling up above and there was little air left amidst the space. Yet they continued to dance...

Octave One - I Need Release (Alexander Kowalski´s Release The Dub Mix)

Thomas Neyens first left his mark on the dance scene under his alias Kiani & His Legion, with two releases on Red D's We Play House Recordings in 2013 and more recently on Something Happening Somewhere, quickly demonstrating his accomplished production flair. This led the Belgian establishing his own imprint, Tanzbar Records, where he dropped two EPs under his Far Out Radio Systems moniker – bringing a more 'dancefloor focused' sound. Now after a two year hiatus, Neyens returns to his Far Out Systems alias for this EP, his first offering for a label outside of Tanzbar Records.

'Spheres' kicks off the release, with its soft bassline perfectly complimenting the hazy synths, syncopated drums and the mesmerising nuances from the hang drum that feature later in the track. The slow burning style continues on 'Jane Goodall', with the track's atmospheric textures gradually overpowered by a steady selection of drums, percussion and off-kilter effects. 'Vaquita' sees Far Out Radio Systems up the tempo whilst still sonically retaining the melancholic, hypnotic sound of the EP, as the snare-led rhythm gradually gains in momentum over its seven minute duration. Closing this excellent four track EP is 'On A Quest', a pulsating number that combines soaring, ethereal synths with a club ready groove that is perfect for the shadowy dancefloors the Belgian DJ/producer performs to.

Tracklisting:
A1 Far Out Radio Systems - Spheres 
A2 Far Out Radio Systems - Jane Goodall 
B1 Far Out Radio Systems - Vaquita
