R-Imprint : Leisure System takeover with Barker, JakoJako & Golden Medusa - 13 Mars 2021

https://soundcloud.com/james-lotion & https://soundcloud.com/goldenmedusa

https://www.retreatradio.net/unravel

For the third episode of their show Unravel, James Lotion has invited the Berlin based queer music nerd Golden Medusa for a digital B2B. 

On the contrary to a classic B2B this one was recorded from their homes in Copenhagen and Berlin over a period of two weeks of sharing emails. One by one they recorded a part of the mix, each time responding to the previous recording. 

The result is a moody, chuggy adventure featuring downtempo moments, erratic breaks, emotional melodies and experimental sound design.

In solidarity with the Palestinian people they end the mix with Jessika Khazrik's track Kushajam's Recital استظهار كُشاجم - which revisits an Abbasid poem around a cosmic water clock, written by a 10th c. Palestinian poet.''

Tayls + Golden Medusa [Foundation FM] - September 2022

Deconstructed and disintegrated becomes energy and evolution. So the cycle continues, endlessly. Our next guest, Golden Medusa (aka Lara Golz), has managed to embody this process musically, a suitable tribute for our current moment. Known for her beguilingly ingenious sets as a resident of Leisure System and Refuge Worldwide, Lara's artistic trajectory has developed concurrently with the eclectic and unpredictable undertow of the Berlin music scene. Since the beginning of her career in 2016, she has made regular appearances at Berghain, OHM, and notorious events like Herrensauna and Atonal Festival. However, it wasn't until we invited her to play at the Ambientgarden events we did in collaboration with Staub at ://about blank in 2020 that we discovered the extent of her ambient ambitions. Here Lara shows us again that she can plunge into the depths, providing us with a two-hour mix of oceanic inoculation.

TM8 Q: Biggest tip for an aspiring dj / producer is:
A: "you don’t need to follow every rule 
some are there to guide you 
some are there to be changed"

Berlin-based artist cunt remember shares a psy-tinted blend of techno, trance, and experimental flavours on this week's podcast. Following a first-time set at Säule last year, the rising producer and DJ has had a busy start to 2024, playing in Den Ander Side, Fitzroy, OHM and next up, OXI. Releasing on our own imprint, tm8.club, and soon to release on @splinter-cell-unit, cunt remember's debut album 'Forest Schranz' on Magdalena's Apathy (@regrets_regrets) marks another pivotal point in the Argentinian artist's story. With a background in contemporary art, cunt remember is detail-focused and merges many disciplines, from art to music to fashion, and also curates the event series "Forever Unlimited".

TM8 Q: How do you go about putting a mix together?
A: "I start creating my sets with an attitude, often visualised in similar colors and translated to feelings, that I want to explore based on the music Ive recently found. This attitude can be found in tracks that differ in their genre, but share similarities in texture and design.  A lot of tracks have elements from multiple genres, where the track can seem like minimal techno because of its arrangement, but the kick is mixed in a way that resembles tribe or gabber. I always struggle with choosing a genre for a set, but I find that I can still create a continuous story by taking an element from the current track and gluing it together with the next song through a similar element in the upcoming song. But in the end the most important way for me to work is intuitively, always being emotionally present and aware if the upcoming track is leading away or towards the core attitude of the set."

Oslo-based DJ and producer IRA delivers a psychedelic, warped-out mix brimming with other-worldly melodies, minimalistic harmonics and industrial soundscapes. Having started out a few years ago in the Oslo rave scene via Enter Tribe, she has since co-founded the club concept Sirena alongside artists Vilde Wahl and Samuel Feste. As a talented producer, IRA has released her dark and dreamy productions on labels like MUSA, Global Pace and In Orbit. We're so excited to add her to our own label later this year.

TM8 Q: Favourite club and why?
A: "I struggle to find the time for making music and going out as much as I used to, so these days I prefer to save my energy for special nights. However, if I had to choose, I would go for Säule (Berghain) due to its intimate size, carefully curated line-ups and atmosphere at Thursday events, and RSO for the sound system and wide variety of parties."

Polish DJ and producer Agata shares a luminous mix to ease us into the week. Layered with trance-infused techno, psy and tek, the Berlin-based artist blends dreamy melodies, sturdy drums, rippling basslines and spacious sound design into one sleek package. Since her first EP, "Realign", which she self-released last year, Agata has contributed her enchanting tracks to labels like @deestricted, @nobordersmusic, @mmuussaa and our own label, tm8.club, where she delivered the club-cut track "Drip". Affiliated with Berlin-based @blvsh_collective, which supports *FLINTA artists in the local scene, you can find Agata playing at M01 on 13.04 for the BLVSH x EVOLVE showcase.

✵ A2 DJ RAT - Hexosphere

✵ B1 DJ RAT - Corridor
✵ B2 DJ RAT - Telepathic Climax

Pre-order on Bandcamp: https://crudeberlin.bandcamp.com/album/nocturne

Catalog Number: CRU002

CRUDE’s second record release features one of the most promising artists from the underground music world - DJ RAT.
Hailing from the American Pacific Northwest DJ RAT’s signature sound is characterised by an eccentric, distinguishing and uncompromising approach - seamlessly blending intense, arcane and mystical elements in order to create a captivating experience.

Side A kicks in with Nocturne, the EP’s leading track that guides the listener into a veil of mystery with its enigmatic melody and its pulsating basslines that gradually build intensity while maintaining an underlying sense of tranquillity.
Hexosphere’s rhythm is edgy and straightforward with a trippy nature.

There’s an ever-evolving dynamic throughout the four tracks, alternating between driving rhythms and moments of serene psychedelia - evoking a feeling of introspection and exploring the duality of light and dark.

The B-side takes off with Corridor, an oscillating tension-builder.
Corridor’s distorted synths and glitchy effects cascade over pounding drums, creating a chaotic yet mesmerising soundscape.
Telepathic Climax weaves in and out with shimmering, harmonic and alluring shifts that add depth and dimension to the track.
Atmospheric and trippy textures create a sense of space and immersion throughout the journey of the EP - with illuminating elements piercing through the darkness.
