A vast technical understanding underpins the work of Rotterdam's @albertabalsam. It allows her to deconstruct norms and rebuild music with her own rules as she draws on electro, IDM, heavy techno, broken beats and avant-acid sounds. This has made her a firm favourite at artful events all across Europe where she joins the dots between outlier sounds while never forgetting to get people dancing, while also releasing on our label, Carista’s United Identities and Tzusing.

Alberta's quest to do the impossible, her passion for sci-fi motifs and a love of 90s vibes all shine through in this week's mix: it's a hard-to-define trip through elastic bass and out-there rhythms. Icy and sparse electro makes way for unhinged drum flurries and sleazy broken beats, freaky sound designs sit next to weirdo vocals and leave you wondering WTF? while loving every second of the maverick musical madness.

After a brief hiatus we're back with the 9th Tape by the one they call Otik - 3024 recording artist extraordinaire responsible for the magnificent Cosmosis album as well as the recent EP Cloud Runner.

3024: Otik, can you describe your mix in a single sentence?

"An ethereal and drum heavy journey between 160 and 170bpm, which includes old and new inspirations for my recent ‘Cloud Runner’ EP on 3024."

3024: What DJ inspires you at the moment / has inspired you throughout the years and why?

"I’ve actually talked about this recently, but I’ve always been in awe of Midland’s sets. The way he can read a crowd and create heart stopping moments on the spot with ease has really inspired me to become a better DJ."

3024: What are you working on / what have you got forthcoming?

"I’m currently finishing up two records for the same label, I can’t say who yet but I’m really happy with how they sound. The music focuses a bit more on the dance floor, 4x4 rhythms and sits within the 135-140pm range, which I haven’t experimented with for a while."

3024 TAPES 009 : Otik

Recue is the creative outlet of Riku Annala, a Helsinki based producer exploring the left field of electronic music. Recueʼs earliest recordings date back to the early 2000s and his genre-fluid approach to music has led to work with labels like Touched Music and Detroit Underground. Recueʼs work often features collaborative elements and heʼs had the pleasure to work with artists such as Robot Koch, Jamie Lidell, Julien Marchal and Jesse Markin either through direct features in his solo material or through remixing their work. His music has also served as the backdrop for theater and TV productions, one being the travel series Madventures.
His latest body of work Tensegrity has been released through the Finnish record label Signal Life, and it delves into converting non-linear storytelling devices from literature and cinema into the musical realm by dismantling static tempo completely.
Especially for our podcast Recue has recorded a wonderful mix of both released and unreleased tracks.

Which artists has influenced you the most?

- It's difficult to pinpoint artists that have influenced me the most, but there are a lot of artists whose work has resonated with me throughout the years, and I'm sure each of them have contributed to my work in some way. Artists like Lorn, Hecq, Amon Tobin, Jon Hopkins, Machinedrum and Arca each have their own sound that has inspired me in some ways, not to mention classics like Aphex Twin and the whole period of 90s rave and IDM music that I grew up with.
 
What new projects/releases with your participation are expected in the near future?

- I have few collaborations in the making, that I'll leave unnamed at this point, and the mix also includes some unreleased work, that might see an official release in the near future. I'm also prepping more of the non-linear music, that I did with Tensegrity EP last year.

Which artists/labels is more relevant to you now?

- The mix provides a good cross section of some of the inspiration I've been feeling, but to mention some specifically, the genre fluid aesthetic of Signal Life and Analogical Force, both of which I've released music on lately, is something that I've been feeling. Also Prague based label Yuku is pushing boundaries in a direction that I find really interesting.

What inspires you now to create music?

- Basically the same thing that's kept me going over the years: Because it's fun. I like the creative process, finding out and learning new things. Breaking the linearity of electronic music in Tensegrity EP was an extra pinch of inspiration, since it brought a completely new angle on creating. I want to continue that and see where it leads.

What set-up do you use when creating music?

- I have a studio full of synths and samplers, but the brain of everything is Ableton Live. I could get rid of all the hardware and still be able to make music with it. Not that I'd want to though! Hardware can be tons of fun as well.
