Representatives of Kyiv’s downtempo wave, Kostya Kottov and Techija, have long been probing the ground for launching their own label. The starting point was their joint promoter POVILNO, under the banner of which they’ve been running events for the past few years. Staking on eclecticism and musical diversity, they’re ready to present the first compilation of the newly minted imprint – a collection of slow-burning tracks inspired by the power of organic elements and psychedelic experimentation from artists around the world, including duo Stevie R and Parisinos, Roe Deers, Dan Bay, Colossio, LEONOR and ID_UA.

The compilation opener “Information Society” sees the massive bass lines of UK label bosses Inside Out, Stevie R and Parisinos, their sense of drama and epicism meet the chilling vocals from 70s videos about information overload. The result is a slow but weighty track for early dancefloors and late night hangouts. “People Know” from label mate, Ukrainian producer ID_UA, is a psychedelic stroll under a palm-crossed sky. A tight groove with tantalising synths and a splash of trippy guitar parts. The mood is picked up by the Mexican Colossio with the exceptional diamond collection “Shofar”, a perfect dancefloor piece where guitar and brass sounds intertwine to leave a mark, a constant intrigue and a mysterious atmosphere that hypnotizes you and keeps you moving.

At the helm of the B-side is Lithuanian nightlife powerhouse Roe Deers with “Monotony Killed Dinosaurs”: soft breaks and a tight beat laden with shifting percussion immerse you in the nighttime jungle. “The Darkside of Orgánica” by Frankfurt-based musician Dan Bay is a fusion of the tranquility of nature and a sense of danceable energy; a track that hangs on to raw and dynamic beats and a winding lead, providing a pulsating, hypnotic immersion. Closing the rotation is Guadalajara-based producer Leonor’s ‘RWandaS Bells’, which blends influences of folk music and primal rhythm with a special dub flavour. Close your eyes and embark on a fascinating journey to complete this compilation.

Monotony Killed Dinosaurs

PREMIERE: Roe Deers - Monotony Killed Dinosaurs [Povilno Records]

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/cyberlife-music
Track: Galactic Stabs Brotherhood Dub

Format: 12" Vinyl, Digital, VA
Release date: 09/03/22

A year and a half after its first release, Pilote, Syrinx Music is back with another V/A release, Ballast. Meanwhile, Syrinx set various events up in the Paris area, and took great care of this new EP. Just as the device it takes its name from, Ballast aims to find a balance in contrast, in line with Syrinx’s aesthetics: an open vision of electronic music, linking both club & experimental dimensions.
On Ballast, this contrast goes with the idea of duality. The A Side of the vinyl (pressed as a dubplate in a very limited edition) gathers three artists of the most adventurous side of the French bass scene. Cyberlife kicks things up with an atmospheric and aerial breakbeat track.

The Utilities - Task One (Age of Self)

Mogambo land on the ever-impressive Siamese Twins Records. Consisting of producer Sunju Hargun and multi-instrumentalist Jerom Doudet, the Mogambo duo bring a heady, hypnotic sound from the many enigmatic strands of Asia’s musical cultures: the deep traditional instrumentations of Siam and India, the high-tech edge of modern Bangkok, and the rich Goan bloodline of trance. Following their sought-after debut 12” Cobra (कोबरा) on their own Siamese Twins Records, they now return with "Urvi (उर्वी)" - a 4-track all original package featuring meditative sonic explorations to fearless entrancing rhythms and basslines, tangled together from the mysterious East.

There was a crackle as the radio sprung to life. A voice beckoned through the old system, he did not know from where it came and what it meant. Strange noises filled the room and the transmission buzzed and echoed in the chamber. This was the third time that they had tried to communicate with life beyond planet earth…

Space was a myriad of opportunities and unexplored adventures. It had always been but a matter of time before they finally managed to connect with something not from this world. Now that they’d found it they wondered whether whatever they’d found might become friend or foe.

Time would tell…

New Moon is set to release a beautiful record via Craigie Knowes. ‘Spins, Parities & Multipolarities’ is comprised of six beautiful ambient experiments – a collection of material far removed from the club ready sounds we usually associate with the label and producer.

Up next on Feel My Bicep, the lauded Irish duo Bicep bring experienced UK producer James Shinra to the forefront with a new slamming and cleverly constructed 12" 'Signs / Arc' - slated for release on July 26.

The EP comes paired with remixes from '90s techno veteran John Beltran and the intrepid 50Weapons and R&S affiliate Benjamin Damage. Ahead of the release, Mixmag has locked down the latter for a premiere. Using a sturdy and unwavering drum arrangement as the track's backbone, Benjamin Damage elevates his remix of 'Arc' through a memorable synth hook and a strong bassline that cunningly converse with one another throughout the tune.

To continue sharing music during this lockdown and to support our community, staff and DJs in these challenging times, we've launched an online platform on radioradio.radio for live music and talks.

Thanks to our partners Kornuit and Absolut, we are able to compensate the artists we invite to play. Feel free to contribute to charity or Radio Radio, by giving a donation or purchasing a gift card. Spread the word and take care!

Radio Radio on Lockdown: Suze Ijó

Hailing from the vibrant city of Rotterdam, Suze Ijó @suze_ijo is a lover of all genres & rhythms. She’s been invested in music for years — both with DJing as with working behind the scenes, having been active behind club nights at Rotterdam’s club, Bird and now working behind the counter at Clone Records. Her style goes from anything between jazz and techno, with a certain warmth and soul being the constant factor.  

The memory of celebrating summer as we used to hangs suspended in the air as we reimagine ways of listening and dancing amidst a new reality that has dawned in the last few months. This memory sits with us worldwide, as we feel the void of a crowded dance floor, sound system and most of all each other. Despite this void, it is important to continue to make space for these moments of release as a form of self care and joy. Having taken the time to allow for reflection and respite, we wanted to share this reminder as we are proud to present a new installment by Suze Ijo. Her delicately woven selections evoke a more contemplative approach to the wide spectrum of what deep house can be, creating the soundtrack for whatever feels right at this moment.

It’s no surprise that scene heavy weights Apron & Tartelet Records have extended their hand to make Oakland based Space Ghost part of the label family, whose forward thinking production output and selection knack have made him one of the most exciting heads on the circuit. 

Prior to the pandemic, Space Ghost, also known as Sudi Wachpress could be caught spinning wax every first Friday at his monthly dance party Open Soul, located at the Bay Area in CA; we were fortunate to catch Sudi during relative downtime which resulted in him curating just over an hour of carefully considered house bliss. 
 
Space Ghosts latest EP comes via the aforementioned København based imprint: Tartelet Records; you can listen and pre-order the ‘Time To Dance’ EP using the link below.
