Carhartt WIP Radio September 2024: Red Lebanese

For October’s edition of Carhartt WIP Radio, we’re welcoming London producer and songwriter Nathan Jenkins, also known as Bullion (@bullionness). 

Bullion made his debut in 2007 with the release of “Pet Sounds: In the Key of Dee,” a mashup project that remixed the music of J Dilla with The Beach Boys. Evolving this sample-led approach, he released the project “You Drive Me to Plastic” in 2011, composed of samples taken from YouTube clips, old vinyls, and incidental recordings.

A string of releases followed across labels including Honest Jon’s, R&S, and Young, before Bullion launched his own imprint DEEK Recordings in 2012, with the release of his 80s-pop-tinged EP “Love Me Oh Please Love Me.”

Alongside his prolific solo projects, Bullion often works with other artists, with credits ranging from Nilüfer Yanya and Sampha to Avalon Emerson and Ben Howard. Bullion’s latest album, “Affection,” highlights this collaborative aspect, featuring contributions from Carly Rae Jepsen, Panda Bear, and Charlotte Adigéry.

For this Carhartt WIP Radio episode, Bullion has created a mix featuring a vibrant blend of his solo work, as well as production for other musicians, and select remixes. 

Alongside the mix is an interview where Bullion discusses the influence of an early Pet Shop Boys album, the art of collaborating with other musicians, and his thoughts on technology’s effect on music. Read the talk via www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music

Carhartt WIP Radio October 2024: Bullion

This month’s Carhartt WIP Radio show is hosted by the Kaifeng-born, London-based composer, sound artist, and DJ @yu_su.

Since releasing her debut EP Preparation for Departure in 2018, the artist has emerged as one of the most versatile producers in electronic music, whether it’s creating meditative, downtempo sounds and rich, jazz-inspired textures, or blending echoes of Chinese classical with mid-tempo house.

In 2021, Su co-founded the label @bie-records, launching it with her debut album Yellow River Blue, which was recorded during a winter tour of mainland China, and is filled with glimmering synths, dubbed-out bass, and moments of 90s trip-hop.

The mix that Yu Su created for this month’s show radiates with the same vivid energy as her previous projects, telling “a story of the vast musical world” she inhabits. Listen to the mix and read an accompanying interview at www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music.

Carhartt WIP Radio November 2024: Yu Su

The first show of the year takes us to Glasgow, Scotland, home of independent record label @12th-isle. Run by long-time friends Fergus Clark, Ruaidhri McGhee, Stewart Brown, and Al White, the label launched in 2016. Though not tied to a specific meaning, 12th Isle’s name nods to the expansive, otherworldly sounds it encompasses. Guided by the instincts of the label's founders, its releases span fourth world and jazz to dub techno, drone, and kosmische. These sounds are then brought to life visually through the esoteric, labyrinthine artwork of graphic designer Al White.

For this episode of Carhartt WIP Radio, Clark and Brown created a mix that highlights both classic and forthcoming label tracks. The selection includes mystic rhythms from RAMZi, Tarotplane’s dreamlike chimes, and subaquatic sounds from Vague Imaginaires.

Carhartt WIP Radio February 2025: In This Dunya

“Creativity is serious, sacred, and spiritual, but it’s also about play. It’s about freedom, tearing things down, and rebuilding.” Mala for Carhartt WIP Radio – March 2025.

Hailing from South London, the producer and DJ has been a leading figure in electronic music since the early 2000s, who as part of the legendary DMZ crew and label, pioneered a genre rooted in sound system culture – a genre we know now as dubstep.

In 2006, Mala founded his label @deep-medi-musik as a platform for more experimental releases. It has remained a vital force in underground bass music, with a roster of artists including Kaiju, Silkie and Goth-Trad.

Twenty years since Mala first made his mark on the scene, his influence is as strong as ever. For this episode of Carhartt WIP Radio, the legendary producer and DJ created a mix featuring tracks from the DEEP MEDi vault, alongside some new releases. The mix is accompanied by an interview, as Mala discusses the duality of art and science in music-making, his ethos of “building” sounds, and the significance of an artist’s story in their work.

This month’s Carhartt WIP Radio episode features independent record label @smalltownsupersound, founded over 30 years ago in Norway by Joakim Haugland.

While some may have discovered the label through anthemic tracks like Todd Terje’s “Inspector Norse”, others might know it through its growing roster of artists, including Kelly Lee Owens, Lindstrøm, Neneh Cherry and Actress. Today, Smalltown Supersound continues to defy categorization, with recent releases from composer Kara-Lis Coverdale and UK producer Barker.

For this edition of Carhartt WIP Radio, Haugland discusses how Norway’s underdeveloped music scene drove him to create his own, why staying a curious music ‘fan’ is essential, and how making this month’s mix shifted his perspective.

This month episode of Carhartt WIP Radio is brought to you by the Amsterdam-based musician, artist, and DJ @upsammy, whose sounds map a futuristic terrain of crystalline melodies, complex rhythms, and a blend of digital and organic textures.

In 2016, she uploaded her track “Zona” to SoundCloud, which caught the attention of the Nousklaer Audio label, and led to her debut EP "Another Place" in 2018. Since then, she’s released more music on Nous'klaer, as well as on Dekmantel, Pan, and Die Orakel; held residencies at NTS Radio and Amsterdam’s club Garage Noords; and completed a degree at Utrecht University of the Arts. In 2025, she debuted a new audiovisual live show for her album Strange Meridians, released in 2024 on topo2.

Carhartt WIP Radio July 2025: upsammy

This month Carhartt WIP Radio spotlights the collaborative work of composer @infinityknives & MC Brian Ennals, whose mixture of genre-defying production and uncompromising, irreverent lyrics has seen them gain a cult following since their 2020 debut, "Rhino XXL".

In 2022, the Baltimore-based duo released "King Cobra", an exhilarating project that explored the artists’ idiosyncratic styles through warped, 80s-style synths and folk-tinged melodies, punctuated by Ennals’ sharp, incendiary raps. The project culminated in a global tour, with the European leg supported by Carhartt WIP. 

This April, Infinity Knives & Brian Ennals returned with "A City Drowned in God's Black Tears" on UK label Phantom Limb. Sonically and lyrically, the album advances their experimental approach, traversing glitchy electronics, psych-folk, doom metal, cumbia, and soul.  

For this episode, the duo created a mix featuring numerous collaborative works, old and new. Alongside it is an interview with Ennals, who talks about being a misanthrope, the role of humor in his lyrics, and what made the new album so “acidic.”  Listen to the mix and read an accompanying interview at www.carhartt-wip.com.
