Man I love the asynchronous stuff going on here.

Elektro Guzzi deliver us this week's R$N mix. 

Pease introduce yourself…

Who are you: 

We are Bernhard, Berni and Jakob and together we are Elektro Guzzi

Where are you: 

Most of the time we spend our time in our studio in Vienna, on the weekends we are always somewhere else...

What are you: 

A Techno Tanzband

Where was the mix recorded?

In our 3 flats. Since no one of us is a real/serious DJ we decided that each of us is doing one part of the mix. Jakob did the first, Bernhard the second and I did the 3rd part of the mix. Then we put it together at Top Sound Studio. 

What would be the ideal setting to listen to the mix?

Probably the best setting would be in a car while travelling trough 3 different land-scapes, because each of the 3 parts of the mix is quite different - so it maybe could be this journey:

What should we be wearing?

Tracksuits, racing suit or 70ties style tennis outfit

OK? Right, let's get on with the interview:

Elektro Guzzi - The Ransom Note Mix

Ultraviolet delivers the first offering of the year from Feeling Blue, three tracks showcasing his signature sound, fusing a range of influences into a clean club ready package.

Nokia showcases Ultraviolet's high-tempo and intricate percussive work, with a relentless and syncopated synth to match. Way Out opens up in sonic space with the same distinctive production complemented by ethereal vocal stabs, before High Life introduces sophisticated granular breakbeat patterns.

PREMIERE : Ultraviolet - Way Out

Manchester's greatest export Left, Right & Centre present a sprawling dancefloor exploration from Ghoulish featuring a potent club flip from label head Korzi.

Manchester-based DJ and producer Ghoulish makes a bold statement with his latest single, "Arc Flash." This release marks a departure from his previous work, delving into deeper, darker territories with a percussion-focused approach and tension-building tactics that keep listeners on the edge of their seats. The single is a follow-up to his collaboration with Skream on ‘IFEEL’. This most recent release showcases his ability to reach for a varying degree of sounds presented in different styles and for different settings.

Driven by chopped vocals and snappy snare hits, the track is reminiscent of inspiring artists such as Ploy and Pearson Sound, culminating in spiralling sonics that build and manifest in moments of electrifying rising and falling throughout.

Featuring a standout reflip from label head Korzi, which takes the release in a more abrasive route, layering the original elements with his signature glitchy, punchy manner. "Arc Flash" is a testament to Ghoulish's evolution as an artist, showcasing his versatility and innovation this time staying true to the Left, Right & Centre ethos - a link-up between a Manchester artist at the top of his game and a label pushing forward-thinking sounds truly making sense on this occasion.

PREMIERE : Ghoulish - Arc Flash (Korzi Remix)

The graveyard was empty but for her, she sat perched on a bench looking out as the wind blew softly through the trees. She came here every year to pay homage to what had once been - all the bad, good and all.

Perhaps it was 4hersins that she suffered. Perhaps it was some other reason entirely.

She sighed as he began to walk across the empty field, listening out for the rumbling in the clouds up above, for they always rumbled. Especially in May.

Mulholland is set to release a heavy hitting EP via Amity which features brutal bass, deep subs and enough wobble to blow your bass bin to pieces. Just the way we like it. This one bangs all the way from the top down.

PREMIERE: Mulholland - 4UrSins [Amity]

Dreamrdreamr - Antique Blue [all my thoughts]

Marking the label’s most club-ready outing to date, and signalling a venture into darker musical realms for the Magic Ritmo co-boss, the three tracks on 'Echo Ritual' connect the dots between electro, EBM and wave.

A departure from the Italo, leftfield house and trance-soaked sounds heard on his previous releases for the likes of Permanent Vacation, Bordello A Parigi and Palms Trax's CWPT, ‘Echo Ritual’ charges straight out the gates with its euphoric, whirring synths that ring out over an infectious chugging bass line.

‘Northern Chug’ follows suit, taking cues from visceral body music and heavy, stomping electro, before REES ups the tempo for closing track ‘Venom’; another deadly dose of slithering electro fuelled by biting, metallic synths and razor sharp percussion.

Dawn Razor and Archetech, two friends and two-thirds of the once-active trio Sonnen Blumen Kerne, have collaborated to deliver an album of tracks previously released exclusively on vinyl through Dawn Razor’s NARA Records. When Lobster Theremin ceased operations, the stock of these releases was lost, leaving only brief preview snippets online.

Adam approached HOMAGE with the story and shared the tunes with us. Moved by the situation, we decided to release all of the tracks as a retrospective album. Thus, 'Half Life' was born—a collection of 10 tracks that blur the boundaries between slammin' electro, breakbeat, and mutated bass, all with a minimalist edge.

PREMIERE : Dawn Razor & Archetech - Anna Logia

Slithering and sliding out of the gate with a surprisingly uplifting second half, VOL3 offers a look at broken beats, shifting rhythms, insectoid pulses and pop influences.

For the 3rd instalment of the increasingly coveted "Volume" series, BPS employs the talents of some big names with big games; friends from Naarm and around the globe. To pin the project to a single sound or genre is near impossible as the textural and aesthetic gradient slides smoothly beyond these barriers.

All proceeds from this compilation will be donated to Pay the Rent.

PREMIERE : Anta Doma - Dagobah Soundsystem

Berlin artist Katiusha kicks off her new label GRACE with ‘The Sellout’.

Over two tracks, the EP imagines sultry, meandering spaces for dancers to disappear in.

On ‘A Shark Called Nancy’ shakes up the oceanic depths with a more steamy groove and fidgety breaks.

GRACE is built for those moments where dancefloors melt into hazier spaces. After this first release, the label will pass the mic to other producers who wanna take you there!
