Pre order: https://lnk.to/EliasDore-LaLlorona-ATribeCalledKotori

Back on ATCK with his first solo contribution since the release of 'Cloudfare' three years ago, Elias Doré returns to ATCK with 'La Llorona' - a special revisit of the eponymous Mexican folk classic featuring M.O.N. on vocals and Leipzig's Atric on remix duty. Discovered through Montse, alias M.O.N. herself, this widely known song finds itself transformed into a club-ready anthem and proper summer flavoured slo-burner. Bringing it into a "danceable form that meanders between feelings of melancholy and a sense of fragile beauty" in Doré's own words, the pair take us on a languidly hypnotic jaunt, from humming it together for the first time as they walked across the lush landscapes of the Canary Islands with a ukulele to actually recording it the studio in just a few hours. With its slo-evolving pads tracing across poetic hyperspace, 'La Llorona' unfolds its bright and deep interlacing of "sadness and beauty, with the lyrics being at times rather dark, but the overall emotional landscape of the track drifting towards an energetic peak that is also uplifting in a way". Handed over to Atric, the track puts on some more drum-laden weight and arpeggiated effervescence, stretching further into cosmic house territories as we're invited to cast off and dance our life away to the beat of this memento-mori in sound, beautifully rendered in a newly dynamic yet true-to-the-original version for the dance floor.

An hour of laidback selections from Rustam.  While he is often heard in Kyiv's Closer, we heard him play at the unforgettable Zorepad Festival near Lviv in August and instantly asked him for a contribution to the Drum Syrup series.

DRUM SYRUP PODCAST 20 - RUSTAM

Nugcast is back this month with a special mix from a special artist!

In a world where everyone wants to be a dj and a proper digger, where playing the rarest and most obscure nuggets is seen as something to follow, making everything more into a competition and less related into what really matters, which is music, even after all this, there will be always someone who is one step ahead… someone who’s dedication is beyond everything and everyone.

This month’s guest is a perfect example of what being always one step ahead means.

Originally from the US, @theproudmistress is a true mistery in the world of diggin, never revealing his true identity, and with few appearances in public, but still remaining as one of the best diggers out there. It either is from his youtube channel, which is a place that everyone goes to dig music, or due to his impeccable sets for respected labels such as Faciendo, he is without any doubt, one of the best in the scene and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have him on the series! 

Maybe the secret is to keep things simple and anonymous… 😏

Expect some proper vibes to end your summer in the best way possible

Nugcast #36 - The Proud Mistress

Today, we're thrilled to present a brand-new mix from our homie @ektoplast, a member of the crepité collective, who previously graced us with a stellar track on one of our compilations.

This time, he delivers a two-hour journey of driving power within the slower spectrum—perfectly crafted to chase away the looming winter chill. 

Get ready to lose yourself in this dynamic soundscape and let it carry you through the season ahead!

Enea Pascal is the co founder of IVREATRONIC and has just released a new record called ‘BRUTTO?’. It’s a wicked release, compiled of downtempo explorations, trip hop, weird skits, mutations and beyond. It’s tripped out and freakish, playful and yet somehow makes sense as a body of work.

Released on IVREATRONIC, the label and party series first emerged from Ivrea in Italy in 2017 and has grown from strength to strength, helping to push forward the leftfield, underground of Italy’s electronic music scene.


 
Now to this mix…

Enea delivers a killer selection of sounds, woozy, wonky and punk esque in style. This is a mix for the heads. Think Mo Wax meets L.I.E.S meets early 2000’s Grime. A wild ride through a number of sounds makes this a wicked journey.

Enea Pascal : The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

This mix is made up entirely of intro and outro tracks, defined as such by their authors through the titles. It is built around the idea of an endless beginning and end, creating a continuous musical flow. 

A constant sense of anticipation that never fully resolves is followed by an extended wait for an ending. As a result, intros and outros, which usually frame an album’s main content, become complete pieces that shape the mix.

This session is an homage to baby STELLIUM who attended each dancehall party in their home city. A 90s baby and ever the dreamer, I never stopped hoping to enter a scene like in Sean Paul's 'Get Busy' video (never happened, it was Germany after all). With tunes around 100bpm, I dish out tunes perfect for some dutty wine and for tapping into the twisted feelings that baby me dealt with.

Sound is an inseparable part of Kurashi Collective. With roots in Curaçao and Amsterdam, our selectors blend the rich heritage of Caribbean and Latin music with the European underground club music scene. Kurashi keeps an ear to the streets of the world, bringing microcultures from places such as Brazil, Venezuela and Dominica to electronic club spaces. By recontextualizing what it takes to rave, they make any dancefloor a space to connect rather than to escape.
