Following 2020’s ‘Fall in Love with Yourself’ — a screwed concrète rework of Eartha Kitt’s famous ‘relationships’ interview — M.

Ace And Fire (Alto Aria & Skarv remix)

Soothing yet hyperfast. Here is a triptych of tracks that I've has been playing and recorded at their live shows lately, notably at Quebec's Mutek, France's Nuits Sonores, Austria's Elevate Festival. All at 185 BPM, from nostalgic breaks melodies, to speedcore, you name it!
An early listener and friend ZULI described these as “Intelligent Club Heaterz”, our beloved mastering engineer Joker as “Techjunglehno head bop jazz blue ocean light”... ;P Tell us your thoughts! :))

@poly-chain

Poly Chain is the project of Ukrainian artist Sasha Zakrevska. Sasha is a composer, DJ, curator, and graphic designer currently based in Berlin due to full scale Russian invasion. This mix comes in heavy and driven, spanning breaks, bass, and 4 to the floor. Truly a Friday forecast, the mix represents everything we'd hope to encounter on the dance floor this weekend.

Berlin-based artist Softmatter shares a dynamic mix for us this week. Anna Pavlova, aka Softmatter, is a DJ, producer, multidisciplinary artist and vocalist whose output is characterised by twisted and distorted electronics, heavy-hitting drumwork and mutant vocal samples. With a keen interest in post-human theory, neuroscience and quantum physics; her musical practice explores the fluidity and uncertainty of experience and perception. In Anna’s own words, “When I begin the creative process without expectations and embracing uncertainty, I get results that represent me the most.”

TM8 Q: Best music video??
A: "favourites is so hard i think, i can never choose just one hehe. but i think all of FKA Twigs videos are amazing. and Shakira also has some iconic videos, especially She Wolf is great. and ofc Telephone by Lady Gaga and Beyonce!!"

✦•······················•✦•······················•✦

Composer, producer, and DJ dragongirl has recorded a mix for us featuring some of her own tracks too. Having released her critically acclaimed debut album 'hot blue' on the Norwegian label Sheep Chase Records in 2023, dragongirl has since brought her vibrant sound to some of Northern Europe's most well-known clubs and festivals including Denmark's Den Anden Side, Berlin's OST and OXI, and Kaleido Festival. Her sets blend trance, techno and happy hardcore with influences from Eurodance, gabber and EDM, inviting her audience on a playful and unexpected adventure. And that's exactly what dragongirl mirrors in this week's mix.

TM8 Q: Take us on a date. Where would you bring us and why?
A: "To a Lana Del Rey concert for sure, I would defo fall in love if we kiss under her blessing"

✦•······················•✦•······················•✦

Uruguayan DJ and producer YOZY supplies a shape-shifting mix for us, oscillating between experimental and broken rhythms to 4/4 techno and irresistible trance classics. The Barcelona-based artist also includes tracks from her upcoming album, dropping June 5th. Having released several contributions to VAs on Clan Destine Records, low income $quad, and Last Love Records, they have also delivered music to Human Club; a label based in Barcelona's Razzmatazz, where they are a resident DJ and run their own party CALIENTE. Additionally, YOZY has played for parties and festivals like Boiler Room x Primavera Sound, Raiders, Suicide Club, Voight-Kampff, Latineo, and many more. Plus, their monthly radio show on HKCR called 'Messages from the stars' has recently transformed into an IRL ambient showcase.

TM8 Q: Track to wake up a tired dancefloor? 
A: "Dual Monitor - Seoul City Drift"

✦•······················•✦•······················•✦

Chilean DJ and artist puxo shares a mix of deconstructed and club-ready sounds with us this week. The Barcelona-based talent leans into Latin rhythms, choppy percussion, and emotional textures across their sets, creating a mood that blurs the lines between rhythmic intensity and sonic experimentation. Having established their profile within the Barcelona scene by playing parties like Latineo, MUSA, Deprerreo, and No Tags, puxo has since released an ambient EP as a parallel exploration to their artistic output, revealing a more introspective side of their sound.

TM8 Q: Who’s the dream third wheel for your B3B and why? 
A: “Our dream B3B, it’s actually really easy to say, it also might seem silly with a sea of incredible artists to pick from. Especially all the producers here whose tracks we deeply connect with. However when It comes to it, we would have to choose our dear friend and chosen family member @0ccyx. We are a trio in our own way, always looking at the sound system, talking about our favourite artists and productions. We do what we love with each other which is: dance, scheme, run parties and continuously push each other to find the next most otherworldly track which we’ll not stop talking about for weeks. We’re our own little family, us three against the world.” 

✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ 

Bristol-based duo Field Case share a winding mix for us, snaking through slow-burning rhythms, meditative beats, and mystical soundscapes, exploring the deepest and most cerebral shades of techno. DJs Petrachore and Ohana are behind Field Case and began the project after meeting by chance in early 2023. They then formed Bristol’s first-ever queer community radio station, Transgression.fm, to showcase artists in the city’s creative realm. These days, Field Case are residents of Bristol events RTN and Queerky, where they continue to meld their differing musical backgrounds and sonic palettes. Their journey together has defined their sound, character and mystery, and we’re delighted to share a taster of that on this week’s mix.

TM8 Q: What tune would you walk down the aisle to (if ever)?
A: "I’ve never really imagined walking down the aisle; the image itself never belonged to my thoughts. But if I think of it as a symbol of union, a crossing into something new, a merging of paths and transformations.. two tunes come to me: The Sound of Silence and Scarborough Fair by Simon & Garfunkel. They both seem to hold that delicate balance between melancholy and hope, love and magic.” 

✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ 

Transformation, intuition, and connection; these are the feelings that inform Qi’s story-led sets and productions. Crafting immersive and ritual-inflected sounds, the Armenian artist and @crudeberlin resident blends deep, fast-paced rhythms with atmospheric textures, creating moments that move both the mind and body. Inspired by natural phenomena, ancient echoes, and the alchemy of sound, Qi’s signature shines in her mix for us and stretches beyond into her 
label and storytelling platform, @siooqh.
