In spring of 2020, we were first introduced to the singular sounds of producer, visual artist and filmmaker HAJJ. It was his release for Brothers From Different Mothers that pricked our ears; the cocktail of experimental frameworks, dubstep whispers and dark ambience was something completely his own.

Marking his debut EP, prior to this his tracks had found their way to compilations for Abîme and In Paradisium - the latter a double-sided cassette linked to his Souffrance radio show which is a regular fixture on Lyl Radio. On top of his own productions and radio transmissions, HAJJ is the mind behind Dawn Records who, since 2010, have shared music from Renart, vOPhoniQ, Art Crime and more.

Perfectly suited to soundtrack weird Wednesday, HAJJ offers up a mind-expanding mix of mutating electronics, twisting from ominous soundscapes to leftfield club cuts and dubstep variations.

JEROME Mixfile #935 - DJ DEADNAME

@visi00, AKA Nicola Tirabasso, skirts the periphery of baroque aesthetic, hauntology and electronic abstraction. A recent Haunter Records debutant, the London based musician and visual artist repurposes classical imagery to his own beguiling design. 

‘Privacy Angels’ placed a glitched-out approach to baroque classicism in the same abstract space that most HR releases reside. It calls to mind the folk inflected interzones of Wojciech Rusin, and hot on the heels of its release, Tirabasso contributes to our podcast series with a typically mind-bending mix.

“It’s a slow, ethereal, dark, colourful and bright selection, fading into nostalgic tunes and stretching the present toward an hallucinatory dream-state.” – VISIO
