FATALE FURYLAX 15.4.25

For this 4th episode of Puzzle, tobha has invited Alex Sourbis, a long time active member of the Brussels electronic music scene. For this episode, the puzzle is a bit more "classic", the first hour focussing on ambient tunes selected by tobha.

For the second hour, Alex started from a "chill D&B" playlist he’d been building over the past year. In his own words: "Although most tracks are around 170 BPM, I chose to focus on musical keys and harmonic progressions, shifting the emphasis away from groove. Unsurprisingly, the result is a strong sense of storytelling, with the narrative unfolding through changes in intensity and emotion depending on the harmonies. Alternating between 85 and 170 BPM also adds to the shifts in tone and colour. 
I recorded the mix in one take, moving into more intense IDM-style drums and classic jungle. The goal of that "chill D&B" playlist was to prove to some of my friends that intensity isn’t defined by speed or rhythmic drive. I think I managed to show that by focusing on gentler textures and melodic elements. Of course, I couldn’t resist going harder at times — but I always found my way back to calm and harmony."

PUZZLE WITH TOBHA & GUESTS — #5 w/ Alex Sourbis

Darwin operates in the realm of low-end frequencies, delivering a tripped-out, sub-rattling blend of styles firmly rooted in soundsystem culture.

Her sets move with swampy intensity and hypnotic flow, drawing dancers in while maintaining a quiet versatility. A seasoned crate digger across many genres, she’s as comfortable playing back-to-back with DJ Storm, Mala or Lena Willikens as she is closing out Bassiani or Berghain’s Klubnacht.

Born in Canada, Darwin found her way into dance music after moving to London—first working at fabric in the mid-2000s, then experiencing a bass eureka moment years later at a Swamp81 party. That defining night set the course for her next chapter in Berlin, where she founded her label SPE:C in 2015 to spotlight emerging global talents like Decka, Carré, Axle, Beatrice M., and Tano.
In 2016, she launched REEF at the now-defunct Griessmuehle, a club where she had started a monthly techno-focused DJ residency 2 years earlier that helped develop her signature stripped back, sci-fi-infused sound. The boundary-pushing party brought bass music’s alien energy into the heart of the techno capital, which now calls Berghain home. 

2024 marked a new chapter in Darwin’s evolution with the launch of ABYSS, a Sunday evening soundsystem series centered on the restorative power of low-end frequencies. Blending transcendental dance music with breathwork, meditation and healing practices, the event creates a space where sound connects body and mind. ABYSS has also teamed up with Wuppertal’s acclaimed Open Ground club for an extended weekend takeover, with plans to expand the concept to other cities in the future.

PURE Guest.083 Darwin

French-born and Berlin-based, ophélie is a DJ and producer, known for weaving low-end frequencies, intricate percussion, and rich, bass-driven textures into deeply immersive sets. With roots in dub, UK techno and IDM, her sound moves fluidly between dubstep, hypnotic techno and drum & bass, while drawing subtle influence from ambient, psychedelia, and trance. Her approach to music is organic and emotionally charged built on layered soundscapes, unusual (poly)rhythms, and a strong connection to natural environments. 

Promoter and resident at @refugeworldwide , she hosts Therapy Dog, a show that doubles as an event series at Berlin’s queer listening bar, @kwia.berlin . Her presence extends across platforms like NTS, Kiosk Radio, and Kindred in London, and she’s contributed to Polygonia’s Herbarium and @kinetic_____ mix series. As a producer, her tracks landed on labels including Bait, @pressuredome and @earlyreflex , with her debut EP being release via hundert records in early 2024 and her most recent release on Water Bodies, the first @gravitypleasure compilation.

In this mix, ophélie offers a more introspective journey, flowing through slow, percussive transitions and subtle shades of R&B, neo-soul/wave and some dance nuances, a fresh and unexpected detour from the typical club sound.

London-based producer Slacker lands on Markham Road Records with an exercise in both sample juggling and unrelenting pressure. Got Me Down's trio of waveforms spin the same vocal chop to produce some heavy, club-ready sounds. These three tracks lie on the pacier side of the BPM range, instructing a late-night application of their rhythms.

Leading out with the title track Got Me Down, Slacker pounds the subs harder than a Nona making pesto. Fitting somewhere between hard tech and dubstep, Got Me Down is a roller coaster of ups and downs (but mostly ups) that aims to leave dancers rather eager to stay on the floor.

The EP continues with a call and repeat called You Don’t Care. Developing over various percussive lines and bass swells, the track showcases Slacker’s expertise in sorting, pacing, and delivering THE drums. Just like Pooh Beatz, "He Like The HI Hat God Kinda."

The track also gets a spin courtesy of Europe’s other mega metropolis. Paris-based De Grandi morphs You Don’t Care into a step-friendly bass tech track in his latest remixing endeavor. In this remix, two heavy driving sections are laced together by a rather introverted bridge to allow dancers to regain their footing. As per the rest of the project, the remix maintains elements of the original vocal chop while introducing new percussive and rhythmical accoutrement.

2. You Don't Care

PREMIERE: Slacker - Got Me Down [Markham Road Records]

Sticking a dirty thumb in the eye of fate, our third collaboration sees our marrow deep family malarky turn official as Pace Yourself teams up with YS’s own imprint Erf Records for a split release. 

Burn is the second YS album and written as a direct follow-up album to Brutal Flowers. If their first album was an exercise in the incremental, a construction of poise and patience, Burn, should be taken way the fuck at it’s word: it quite literally finds catharsis in twisted reverse. Birthed out the malignant kick found in deconstruction and chaos. The hit is radical and instant: a new way for the world to go up in smoke. Cauterising infected suburban minds world over. 

Dunno quite what YS have been ingesting of late but this massively twisted LP touches on a host of gloriously fucked totemic underground sources while not sounding much like any of them. Struggling to conceal their tongues in their cheeks there’s an air of paranoia and proto-conspiracy theory. Leaving you feeling like you’ve stepped into a New World Order.  

Burn like other works by YS, is its own ritual beast. ‘Moth’, a track which has been knocking about the underground deejai circuit for many moons, is a real raw slice of stoner erotica that reeks of obsession and unrequited desire. Elsewhere, on tracks like ‘Switch’, ‘Trying’ and ‘Drift’ the throughline from Brutal Flowers can be heard. Underneath the driving heavy gravity the trademark emotional intimacies of YS linger: eternal recurrence, ghosts of static and shortwave, worn memories of the playful and painful sort. The brief moments where flashes of orchestral ambience get out from underneath the swagger are so pure, personal and unguarded that for a moment they leave you completely lonesome.    

A dubbed to death classic straight out of the annals of nowhere. A perfect postcard from oblivion. A bleak, bold and personally ferocious vision of tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow - Jack Anderson (@jankanderson_)

Pour ce 113ème Technopol Mix, c’est @franssouax qui prend les platines et nous livre un set puissant et imprévisible, fidèle à son style hybride. Oscillant entre brazilian funk, raptor house signée DJBaba, sonorités bass et latin progressive, il propose une heure d’énergie brute, taillée pour le club.
Franssouax a fondé @menaceprogressive : le collectif qui fait vibrer les nuits parisiennes et les ondes de Rinse France, en programmant des artistes porté·es par une expérimentation radicale des scènes club underground, dans la continuité de l’identité musicale qu’il défend lui-même.
Fortement inspiré par la queer culture et des collectifs comme NAAFI ou GHE20G0TH1K, il brouille volontairement les frontières des genres pour proposer des sets où la surprise est constante et où l’énergie du dancefloor se conjugue à une vision inclusive et libératrice de la fête.
