The Crave Mix 009 - Binary Digit

@binarydigit
For the first episode of 2023 we are pleased to host the rising French artist Binary Digit, which delivers a 60min adventure on the crossroads between melodic electro, bubbling acid and braindance, warped up with a touch of melancholy.

Through the use of magnetic tapes, outdated software and synthesizers, the Grenobel-based artist, Binary Digit allow these diverse musical influences to melt into unique and overpowering sounds that never fail to arouse deep emotions.

After several albums released on Opal Tapes and Stochastic Releases, contributions on various compilations and EPs dropped by Seven Hills Records, Dream Ticket, Zeitnot, WeMe Records and his own label, Postal Code Records.

Lucas J. Hatzisavas has several different aliases but as Reptant (@reptant_the_lizard) since 2017, he has really excelled. The Melbourne-based reptilian has spread his electro sounds far and wide on always classy labels from Kalahari Oyster Cult to Trust to Craigie Knowes. His acid-laced machine sounds are often jammed out live before being edited into tracks. They are imaginative, bristle with energy and feed into an alien lizard narrative he's built around the project, not least with his debut album Return To Planet X'trapolis.

This week we're invited to peer through a window into that otherworldly universe with 60+ minutes of kinetic rhythms and cinematic sound designs. All shades of electro come up from sleazy and ghetto to sci-fi and smooth. Plenty of acid lines weave their way throughout as Reptant slithers from dark corners of the cosmos to strobe-lit dance floors amongst the stars.

For the second guest of this week, we have the pleasure to feature Binary Digit, a Grenoble-based producer and DJ who created Postal Code Record, his own label in 2021. His use of magnetic tapes, outdated softwares and synthesizers to blend a wide range of musical inspirations result in distinctive and compelling soundscapes that consistently evoke profound emotional responses. His musical vision embraces an uncharted repertoire that sits at the crossroads of acid techno, braindance and electro, with which you will have a taste of by listening to this exclusive mix.

Monument Festival 2023 : Reptant live

The musical intent of the Grenoble-based artist Binary Digit is rooted in an undefined style that sits at the crossroads between acid techno, braindance and electro. This results in a melodious whole together, with a touch of melancholy.
Through the use of magnetic tapes, outdated software and synthesizers, Binary Digit allows these diverse musical influences to melt into unique and overpowering sounds that never fail to arouse deep emotions.
After several albums released on Opal Tapes and Stochastic Releases, contributions on various compilations, and EPs dropped by Dream Ticket or Zeitnot, in 2021 Binary Digit launches his label Postal Code Records. Its first release, From Berriat To Pitteurs is the product of a brilliant collaboration with the Belgian producer Victor Ziegler - enough to make us crave to discover the exciting upcoming projects that the label has in store for us.

Which artist has influenced you the most?

- It's hard to pick one, but to narrow it down roughly I'll pick "AFX" on "Analord 9".


What new projects/releases with your participation are expected in the near future?

- Some releases from mine as well as other artists are to be expected soon on my tape label Postal Code Records. I also got a few singles coming on some cool labels, stay tuned !


Which artists/labels are more relevant to you now?

- I could say labels like WeMe, Clone, Stilleben or many that have a consistent output over decades. It's to hard to pick just a few favorites =/


What inspires you now to create music?

- Computers, boredom and sleep deprivation.

Strange But Dance Music #153: Binary Digit

Words by Ceci (@ccl-url): 

"Special thanks to Steevio & Suzybee & all the volunteers, workers & dancers 💙

This is my recording from Friday night Room 2, 12:30-2am, my first time being at the mythical Free Rotation. Playing one of the first sets & seeing the room, decor and the big bad subs of Room 2, years of fantastical lore and reality melded, I wanted to keep it sexy, wonky, trippy— imagining a psychic electric swamp and how one would levitate thru it... to the sky. No bpm trickery this time. Out to the heavenly bodies of the universe! ;)

ani/live Fifty Six: CCL @ Freerotation

21st century electro-futurism, Helsinki style. 

Sometime around a decade ago, electro started to surge onto dance floors again. A new generation of DJs, from Helena Hauff and DJ Stingray, brought the sci-fi, cyborg funk to new audiences, as a modern retool of the style began enjoying the ubiquity of its four-to-the-floor cousins. And few embody its future for our current decade like Sunny Seppä, AKA Sansibar.

Cutting his teeth in Helsinki's underground with residencies at Kaiku and Post Bar, Seppä's sound draws from a broad range of influences far from the Finnish capital. His first releases channeled the high-definition Motor City school of electro, but he has since evolved.

Not one to be confined by the narrow confines of any genre, the Finnish producer and DJ's discography has steadily begun to encompass a wider palette of influences, including releases with fellow new-gen electro artist Reptant.

It's no wonder Seppä has found a home on Kalahari Oyster Cult. Sans Musique was released by Rey Colino's label, and both are united by a love for an amalgamation of gritty and ecstatic sounds of the '90s. As Colino put it himself, the Cult espouses "nostalgia with a modern sound design."

You can hear that peppered throughout Seppä's RA Podcast. From Simulant's stone-cold classic "Wav.Form" to shades of tech house from the late '90s and early '00s (as well as some of his own unreleased material), the full vision of his broad sound world comes alive on RA.976. You won't technically hear too much electro in this mix—but underscoring many of the selections is the retro-futurism that electro elicits, that bleary-eyed optimism of dance music's halcyon era.

@bambi-dj invite pour son show de février @kaspermarott pour une heure de progressive & psychedelic house.

Bambi invite Kasper Marott - 27 Février 2025

For his debut mix as Warphound, Haŵs co-founder @tywi dives headfirst into the murkier end of early 2000s progressive psytrance - raw, fast, and rough around the edges. Trance with teeth. Music with attitude. It's all beans, no fart.

Release date: 9th June 2025

WHOMP014 : Warphound

ZAMAN

Brockout’s first label release spans four tracks straight out of the wilder, weirder ends of the techno continuum, from four heroes of the UK underground who’ve helped shape the sound of our parties and record collections.

Luke's Anger - 'Planet Twerk'
Jerome Hill - 'Red Alert'
Warlock - 'Flash Crash'
The Horn - 'HodgeBodge'

On the a-side Luke's Anger brings raw booty machine funk to the table with 'Planet Twerk', alongside the hypnotic stomp of Jerome Hill’s ‘Red Alert’.

Warlock dials up the intensity with technoid kick drum weapon ‘Flash Crash’ on the flip, followed by ‘HodgeBodge’ - a dramatic electro-digidub workout courtesy of The Horn.

Released on DIGITAL and 135gsm hand numbered 12" black vinyl, limited to 100 copies.

Mastering: Ben Pest

Warlock - The O.G. EP - 03 Flash Crash
