A very long year after the Six Rooms EP, Nico returns on his imprint Akita Club with Everyone Sees But Only A Few Know. A new exercise in density and space.

Drums that twist, dart, and lurch forward or sideways, but never backwards. Percussion that behaves like a once-living organism, its reanimated fossil unearthed from the future.

How articulate can you make the machine?

Everyone Sees But Only A Few Know

PREMIERE: Nico - Plana [Akita Club]

Pre-order: https://kinteal.bandcamp.com/album/piqued

@kin_teal is the new alias of Budapest-based producer Balint Haller, making organic and tactile music rooted in club culture. 

Balint’s interest in creative coding and emulating natural processes through code comes forth on his latest EP 'Piqued', a three-track record made up of sensual and techy dancefloor poppers from club label @tropopauserecords.

Premiere: Kin Teal 'Piqued'

Days seemed to pass by in a blur; they no longer knew what date the calendar showed or what time the clock struck each hour. They extracted fragmented voices from the haze; noticed a change of light in the room; an all engulfing silence slowly taking over, but life was now indistinguishable from dreams and imagination. Like a series of over exposed photos left to wither and fade in a drawer or the fuzzy static that flickered on the TV, they were hovering high above, no longer playing a role in their own life, only watching it play out from the darkness...

London's Control Freak Recordings have got a debut outing on their hands for their first release of 2023. It comes courtesy of Memory Play, the guise of Dialogue co-founder and one half of production and live duo ASYTRYD, Jo Kašpar. The first of two EPs (the second of which will be landing later this year on the label), these three rich techno mutations give us a window into Jo's skilled and meticulous approach to sound designs. Generated on his hardware set up and honed during a three month residency, the music begins his journey into a more personal and conceptual sphere, where he can express himself freely and use performance as a 'method of healing'.

Infotext:
Tessen were folding fans with concealed outer spokes made of heavy iron plates. Some swordsmanship schools provided training of the tessen as a weapon. Besides using the razor-sharp spokes as an attacking tool, the tessen was also used as a throwing weapon, for fending off knives and darts and as a swimming aid. Samurai could also secretly take them to places where overt weapons were not allowed.

TESSEN

[SCDEF01] FARRON - TESSEN

Big club focus. Ready for your USB. Each of the tracks offer the dance floor a different direction and exploration in underground electronic music. Francesco’s debut EP is hyper textured, drawing influences from contemporary UK Club Music but with simplicity and naivety of early 2000s Techno and Dubstep: just club functional tracks with no frills.

Birdsnake - Pressure Point (Sattle Remix)

so excited to be back this week with a mix submission from the multitalented ELANDA - as she describes her project, “ELANDA” is a journey for a deeper connection to her heritage and to forge healing and connectivity for all through the power of sound 🫀

ELANDA is a DJ & producer from Zimbabwe now residing in Birmingham after making herself heard in the music scene across Scotland with her percussive and intoxicatingly hypotonic melodic style. with some of her productions and mixes featured on BBC Radio 1, a bi-monthly club residency at La Cheetah Club in Glasgow, and supporting the likes of Om Unit, Interplanetary Criminal, and DJ Swisha, her talents know no bounds. 

with a sound that a multifarious, eclectic, deep and rhythmic-led, this mix is a deliciously melodic bass trip. flowing seamlessly from afro-tech/house to global bass, leftfield, and UK dubstep etc she brings an effortless finesse to dance music, with an RnB track or two thrown in for good measure.

Album Description — The Trippy Backpack
“The Trippy Backpack” is a collection of tracks I’ve created over the past period. a psychedelic trance album that reflects my personal evolution within the trance world. Each piece represents something I’ve released into the world, something I’ve shared and left behind in order to keep growing and moving forward with new creativity.

Blending different shades and styles of trance while trying to bring my own unique color, I produced five tracks that aren’t meant to form one continuous album narrative. Instead, each track stands on its own, carrying its own story and character. I hope you enjoy the journey.
Thank you.
