VOI 033 by @thrivedmusic

Almost halfway through 2023, Voitax returns with a bass heavyweight of the highest order.

Marc alias Tymotica has been showcasing his musical ambitions not only as a founding member of the Munich-based label »Ruffhouse«, but also through his sonic ventures as a DJ and producer. Luca, on the other hand, an equally ambitious DJ and producer going by the name of DJ Ion, has his roots in hip-hop, jazz, and 90s techno. His debut on Don Williams’ a.r.t.less imprint proves that adequately. Their fusion turned out to be quite fruitful, as shown by their diverse yet well-centred record »Anthea« on Club Qu.
With »Bionic Gradient«, their promising collaboration enters another chapter, a representation of their precise curation of musical components, as well as an impressive design of their sounds. This progressive bass EP features dubstep-, grime-, trap-, and hip- hop influences, nuanced with dub and IDM. Through each track, the duo links crispy polyrhythms with well-chosen samples that perfectly complement the contemporary, high defined sound. Catchy leads, long reverb tails, metallic soundscapes, and detailed drum programming are carefully fused with the underlying warm bass body. All this comes down to an astonishingly eclectic bass EP that is built to be dropped on the dance floor, yet invites you to dive into an abstract and dreamy world on its own.

As both are continuously working on new material, we are more than excited about what is to come!

Electronic Space

Where does time go? It dissolves into crystalline pools of mirroring aluminium, it retreats into shallow puddles of shame and joy.

In our final instalment of this latest season, WE FORFEIT are digging deep into the collections to pluck out some old favourites, recent acquisitions and all-round top tracks.

Italo gets the ball rolling, as it does with many the night out. Techno is well represented with some beauts from Deniro, Gilbert, Oid and Sabre. Electro? Of course with Chris delivering some corkers care of Fabio Vinuesa, The Hacker and Ultradyne (to name but a few.) House is chewed up and spat out by John Heckle with other bangers to keep the mind racing.

Time to take a break. We’ll be back with more very soon.

Thanks to all @radio-relativa, guests such as @solvent, @wldv, Leonid, Mora, those who came to our parties and played including @drvgcvltvre, @neudphoto and @snuffo and to @davidverdeguer of killing time. A big thanks to all of our listeners. More planned and programmed for the next twelve months.

MXC - Tik Tik

Amidst the global pandemic, MXC, consisting of Maroki and Coralie, forged a digital connection to push the boundaries of their sound. Walking a tightrope between introspective club music and avant-garde experimentation, MXC transcends genre limitations with a distinctive sound. Despite never physically sharing the same space, Maroki and Coralie work separately to craft their individual parts, preserving the sanctity of their creative flow. This unorthodox approach yields a musical tapestry defying convention and explanation, encapsulating MXC’s collective vision in an uncondensed format. Inspired by dimly lit clubs and the uncharted territories of sound design, MXC explores shadows, drawing from grime, acid, psy, and UK bass to infuse their productions with grit and intensity. Their sonic tapestries glide between genres, moods, and sounds, leaving listeners enraptured and craving more.

The Berlin-based record label Voitax is gearing up for a notable release as MXC’s highly anticipated EP, ‘Tik Tik,’ hits the scene. This collaboration marks the fusion of Maroki and Coralie’s unique musical perspectives, cast during the challenges of a world in lockdown.

MXC’s EP, ‘Tik Tik’, is a testament to creative resilience, presenting a sonic journey through uncharted territories of drum and bass. Crafted meticulously in two separate studios during a year marked by isolation and introspection, the EP showcases MXC’s versatile artistry. From the repurposed grime breakbeat hybrid of ‘Tik Tik’ to the relentless industrial chug of ‘Swarm’ and the delicate balance between IDM and club-focused broken drum & bass in ‘Aiven’ and ‘Crabby,’ each track captivates with intricate complexity. The EP culminates in the IDM exploration of ‘PS,’ where Maroki’s vocals intertwine with synths, creating a poignant finale that leaves a lasting imprint on listeners.

Hailing from a fashion design background and moonlighting as a visual artist, this Chen Kai-en’s work is marked by a handmade aesthetic, collage elements, repeated patterns, and a fusion of colors and textures. Inspired by everyday landscapes, particularly in local Taiwanese communities, the artist delves into the unconventional charm of “Taiwanese character” and life’s unpredictability. Through a creative journey deeply connected to personal cultural experiences, each meticulously crafted fabric and collage piece reflects the artist’s profound connection to culture, life moments, and text, making this venture a unique expression of life, culture, and identity.

PREMIERE : MXC - Crabby

VOITAX MIX 087 | ESPOSITO

Perhaps one of techno’s best kept secrets these days, London born-and-raised groove manipulator Cressida isn’t your typical merchant of quality 4x4 smack. His sound, nurtured on a variety of genres and approaches - from jungle to grime and dubstep (which he keeps on repping through his mixes), flexes a different signature than most, insanely versatile and consistently busting the frontiers between normative frameworks. Hopping on board our podcast series with a massive treat of cross-pollinated techno riddims and no-frills club rippers out the widest scope, Cressida dishes out a fierily potent two-hours of freako disco, locked-and-loaded onto hacking the boring matrix of tepid machine funk that has most subjugated at the minute. Flamethrowin’ the status-quo to ashes.
