Welcoming the lovely Refuge Worldwide co-founder and dub-master @richard-akingbehin to the Animix series this week, with a beautiful journey of minimal house infused with his signature dub styles.

Clear in his DJ'ing, but also his work with @refugeworldwide, and his immaculately curated label, @kynant-records, Richard is an all-round classy selector, and a champion of community. Through his various outputs, his deep & considered knowledge and taste shines. 

Richard always impresses me with the diversity of moods he presents via his DJ'ing, hybrid collaborations with legend Tikiman, b2bs with other legends like livwutang, and his label - a diversity that's always strung together with his incredibly distinctive psychedelic, soothing dub formula. 

Thanks for the mix Richard <3

Counterchange is back with a new CO-OPS compilation for 2025, welcoming back Conrad Van Orton, Magna Pia, Ariel Me Llamo, Seiichiro Itoyama, Discrete Circuit and Stefan Alexis. 

The third instalment in the series also introduces a host of new friends to the label, with established forces like Tapefeed, Peryl and Yoikol joining brave newcomers Sednoid and INDACID, who will all release full EPs within the next 12 months. 

Of course label creator Inland (Ed Davenport) is also present, teaming up on 2 collaborations and serving up a nervous bass-funk exercise under his Civilian alter ego.

VOL.3 plays through like a DJ set - a 13-track shipment of fresh modern techno ranging from edgy minimalist head-trips to straight-up funky rocket ships… and everything in between.

Tapefeed - Essence of Instability
Counterchange Recordings
Bandcamp: 03.10.25
All other platforms: 17.10.25

Counterchange continues with a full EP from long-running duo @tapefeed

The Fabric residents and Inveterate label creators present vital new work, in their own words, “exploring the transformative power of instability… in sound… and personal growth.’’

The five-track EP channels multi-faceted club techno embracing a trippy, life-of-its-own energy: intuitive, lively arrangements are paired with textural and precise production. Each piece shifts the perspective, from high energy to more hypnotic structures, always allowing the DJ space to work amongst the grooves. The result is a contrast-full collection of tracks capturing subtle telepathic messaging and cunning ‘Phantom Signals’.

Far from viewing instability as mere chaos to be avoided, Tapefeed embrace it as a powerful catalyst for creativity and sonic evolution. The EP is a real milestone for the duo, having spent the last decade honing their sound palette of cutting edge techno-electronics.

Essence of Instability

Bandcamp

Tapefeed - Essence of Instability [COUNTER044] preview

Tsibo makes his Inveterate debut with Phasers, a five-track study in minimalism where groove becomes architecture and micro-detail drives momentum. Every element: a slight timbral shift, a delayed accent, a tightening of the low-end acts as a catalyst for movement.

His music language operates on the edge between stability and tension: elastic basslines, ultra-precise percussion and a spatial dramaturgy that evolves subtly with each loop. Phasers isn’t meant to be decoded, it’s meant to be felt in the body.

Across the record, rhythm becomes a narrative tool: sleek 4/4 patterns intersect with broken structures as part of a coherent identity Tsibo has been shaping through his previous explorations.

The collaboration with Saen adds mass and depth in the lower spectrum, reinforcing a shared vision: functional club music animated by a pulse that breathes with the room. Designed for selectors who trust restraint and understand how small changes make huge differences, Phasers builds atmosphere without ever losing sight of impact. A refined and modern document of dancefloor minimalism, built to stay in rotation well beyond the season.

Tsibo | Phasers EP [INVTRTD004]

taking these past few months to explore my influences without limits has allowed me to shape my own sonic spectrum… cold experimentations, dub chords and deep rhythms are the main axes of exploration as erahcli.

this project, called 'a muted note' is an ode to these months of research.

recorded over a short period of time, just after feeling abandoned by something I couldn’t name, defeated and misunderstood, lying at the heart of a cave made of blue stones.

erahcli’s here, and 'a muted note' too.

preview : erahcli - a muted note

The track titles on Kamikaze Space Programme’s latest offering for Mote Evolver are taken from the chilling techno-criticism and dystopian visions of the late J.G. Ballard’s fiction, a thinker whose work has always lent itself well to music on the razor’s edge of modernity. Keep in mind, though, that this is no simple tribute to that mastermind of speculative fiction, but a translation of his highwire suspense and hyper-modern aesthetics into rhythmic and incisive electronic music.

The follow-up “Low Flying Aircraft” is another strong take on this affective mix of anxiety and release; its motif of tactile ‘slamming door’ percussion and metallic accents making listeners envision a labyrinthine complex full of rigidly enforced secrets and classified information.
 
For those who are curious to hear the sounds of urban overload and dark dreams compressed into one coherent and captivating release, Kamikaze Space Programme has delivered in a big way with this EP. Fuelled by the sensibility that the here-and-now is as strange and unpredictable as any science fiction, this music won’t disappoint anyone who still looks to techno as the music of new ideas.
