There’s no denying it’s been a time of deep reflection, on an individual level for us all and, of course, for our scene and its artists, promoters, agents and you guys and gals. In taking away our dance floors, and so much more, COVID nudged us to review, reflect, reminisce and re-assess, on multiple levels and in numerous ways.

As for us, we’ve certainly thought about the part we want to play in our scene going forward, reflecting on our values and refining our vision. More of this to come.

What’s been going on inside the minds of artists at such a challenging time has been a big curiosity for us. It’s therefore a huge honour to bring you this very special On the 5th Day feature, featuring a beautifully sincere and open written “reflections” from our previous resident and cherished friend, Svreca (aka Enrique Mena), together with a dynamic, raw and truly unique trip down memory lane from the man himself, in the form of an extended segment of his 2014 FRUE performance at Unit in Tokyo.

As you’ll read, Japan holds a very special place in Enrique’s heart and this night, and the creative freedom he experienced was not to be forgotten, for him or the music lovers fortunate enough to be there.

A pure, perfect, dynamic Svreca moment, oozing with originality and the Svreca flair we've grown to love.

On the 5th Day Podcast #133 - Svreca (Unit, Tokyo - 2014)

Skee Mask is one of dance music's greatest crossover stories of the past decade, with new albums greeted with the attention usually reserved for an Aphex Twin or a Caribou. ("Loved seeing this on r/indieheads," said one Reddit user, on the release of the 2021 LP Pool.) It's not hard to understand why: albums like Compro, he blends well-worn dance music tropes with incredible, detailed soundscapes and spine-tingling melodies. And on his 12-inches, he brings that sensibility to the dance floor, with an approach probably best described as articulate. Even on his most ambient of tracks, everything is in its right place. Along with founders the Zenker Brothers, his music outlines everything that makes Munich outfit Ilian Tape one of the best techno labels going.

On the decks, it's kind of a different story. It might surprise you if you only know his albums, but Skee Mask is an incredible DJ, balancing his predilection for hip-hop and UK-informed sounds with laser-focused techno. He can adapt to all sorts of situations—there's an incredible recording of him DJing with four of the best grime and drum & bass MCs in the business—and on his RA Podcast he focuses on the techno side of things, with nearly two hours of pacey techno and creative mixing, with dips into acid, electro, garage and more. It's a party-starting mix from a genuine star, perfect for getting through the holiday doldrums or pre-gaming your NYE plans. Like Skee Mask's best records, it's something to enjoy in any number of settings.

Madah Sounds presents Takashi Mori @cogolo-mori 

Soundstorm.
In the heart of a tempest, the air thrums with a symphony of frequencies. Thunderclaps reverberate with low, guttural roars while lightning splits the sky in shrill, electric cries. Raindrops, myriad in their descent, tap out staccato rhythms on leaves and rooftops, each splashing a note in nature's intricate composition. 

A sound artist finds inspiration in this chaotic orchestra. By capturing these raw, untamed frequencies, they blend them into their work, seeking the perfect resonance. The deep rumble of thunder enriches bass lines, grounding the soundscape with earthy vibrations. The high-pitched crackle of lightning infuses treble notes with sharp, electric clarity. Meanwhile, the rhythmic pattern of rain creates a delicate, percussive layer, weaving complexity and texture into the music.

Through the artist's skilful and deft hands, the storm's natural frequencies are transformed into tools for sonic enhancement. Each storm, unique in its ferocity and timbre, offers a new palette of sounds, expanding the artist's auditory horizons. Harnessing the chaos of nature, they find harmony, push the boundaries of what their sound can convey, and uncover new depths of emotion and resonance in their work.

Meet the artist behind this unique approach to sound creation. Based in Koenji, Tokyo, this Producer / DJ is known for their dub techno productions and live performances.

Let's wellcome my new guest who did a fabulous mix for some Moments Of Light 'n Darkness (MLD): Liuos from Finnland!!
Lious seemed to arrive on the dub techno scene all at once with Terms EP, his strong debut on Cold Tear Records, but this was the culmination of two decades of experimentation and discipline. A unique mix of power and spaciousness, of both longing and will, Liuos’ work stands out for its clarity and expansiveness. Working steadily from his modest studio in Finland, Liuos has quietly become a respected name in the world of dub techno, with releases on Cold Tear, Lucidflow, and spclnch and remixes for Superordinate Dub Waves and Piranha Siberia Dub.

Keeping up with our traditions we are celebrating the winter solstice with the final podcast chapter of the year, and for this closing of the cycle we invited Passaat from England to be the fire keeper.

Jake Rogers passion for the techno scene is mostly recognized in the highly esteemed Above Below festival, where he has brought some of the finest artists together for thoughtfully curated and magical weekends. But during the rest of the year you can find him supporting and enjoying the scene in his now hometown London. 

With such drive, passion and connections also comes the music knowledge and capabilities to DJ and create the techno journeys we all love and we are very happy that we can host Passaat on Navigare Audio. He has given us a live DJ set that takes you on a rocket trip between Scandinavia and the UK.

Svreca. Four To Eight / Berlin. 11/04/2015.

An incredibly special recording from Hewan Aman @hewanaman live from pe:rsona festival last year. 

From Hewan:
"The set is all playful, dubby, tecky, with some psy vibes and also a bit of deep and introspective bits. I played on a hot, sweaty afternoon during day 2—just as the sun was starting to cool down and the music heads that made up this special crowd were starting to get in all their feels. LOIF took over after me with his live set, carrying us into the darker hours of the night with his sexy psy vibes. It was such a magical moment, and I’m so glad to have it captured in this recording!"

If there’s anything that should wake you up on a stunning Monday morning like today, it’s D.Dan. Over an hour of pounding techno, complemented with sparking warehouse industrial and frantic melodies. 

In D.Dan's own words:
light emerging
opening up
peel the curtain back, just a hair..
just one more glimpse into the void! 
but no, too late, 
i'm caught
i'm drawn in again
heavy rift, stretching out
which way is up? 
which way is up?
trapped in the collision
heat, fusion
mutation, fission
the final stage
I break away

music that makes subs glow. 

🔊 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔮𝔲𝔢𝔢𝔯 𝔣𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔨𝔶 𝔰𝔬𝔲𝔫𝔡 𝔰𝔶𝔰𝔱𝔢𝔪 🔊



𝔰𝔲𝔟𝔤𝔩𝔬𝔴 personifies our desires for meaning outside a singular form, angles outside regimented pulses, breaking apart to put back together. 

Crashing through the ceiling into the sky, nestled between softness and roughness, where you start and where the world ends, flickered beyond the hegemonic download... a resistance against incessant categorization, beyond genres, finding meaning in the inbetweens. 

Bliss-textual paradigms bring us closer, unique velocities taking us deeper, tapping into our unfiltered potential in a fresh reality; objects at rest waiting for a chemical reaction, coming to life for an infinite moment.
