We are rather delighted to welcome one of our favourite DJ duos to the ITI mix series! Milanese gentlemen, and now full-time Berliners, Younger Than Me have been on our radar tearing up dance-floors and releasing fantastic productions for a couple of years, with their remix of I'll Never Reach Your Level by Shun being a standout highlight in the ITI back catalogue! 

The boys treat us to an hour of electronic rumblings from the (much missed) dance-floor, touching on classic breakbeat, acid, techno, rave, house etc.. all the while with that inimitable YTM flair. 

Look out for their next EP on the Tusk Wax sub-label they run, 90's Wax, featuring ITI head honcho Timothy Clerkin and Francesco Farfa and follow them here:

Juan Mejia - Atlas (Manuel Costela Remix)

Two sets of never-ending, towering concrete blocks faced off each other, alternating rhythmically to electric power transmission lines and large swathes of luxuriant green, that stretched out towards the sky and met to create domes of flora. Here, gigantic walking palms coexisted peacefully alongside barrigonas, huicungos and pallas, and many more trees, flowers and plants that offered shelter from the incessant, warm showers that graced the land and its terracotta paths on an almost daily basis. And beneath this humid undergrowth, a quiet but vibrant array of creatures lived amongst the ungurahuis and rubber trees; most of the fauna opted for a nocturnal lifestyle that dimmed their exotic colours and allowed them to showcase their diverse vocal abilities without being seen. 

Gottwax, the record label arm of Wales-own Gottwood Festival, returns after four years with a 30-track compilation that evokes the spirit of the music festival. Featuring electronic stalwarts such as Roman Flügel, DJ Tennis and Margaret Dygas, alongside fledgling emerging talents, we get a taste of the collection, compiled by the festival owners and new label manager Geoff Kirkwood AKA Me Me Me records boss Man Power. With Em & Stav's "Driver", the duo share a muted piece of Bristol-infused bass brimming with minimal sounds, glitching accents and unfettered beats.

PREMIERE: Em & Stav - Driver [Gottwax]

For anyone who's caught a Tony Neptune set, either online or offline, you'll know the Leeds DJ, producer and Dimensions DJ Directory member doesn't do things in half measures. 

As both Tony and his other alias Yuri - a tip of the hat to Yuri Gagarin, the first human to journey into outer space - he's no stranger to 6-hour long mixes, sometimes immortalised in his lengthy back-to-backs with fellow Leeds DJ Mark 'Turbo' Turner. 

Last month he shared his first productions with the world; a debut EP titled Reflections on a Daring Escape that moves through emotive electro and further serves as a vehicle for Neptune to tell a story for the senses, by combining his own visual paintings with the music. 

In typical fashion for his Shine A Light On mix he delivers a live recording from his three hour set at Gut Level, a party in Sheffield, just before lockdown commenced. A journey through everything from oddball wave to slow industrial, EBM, new wave and electro, the mix picks up the pace continuing to build until its climax...

DJCJ steps up with his first solo release since 2018 and it's well worth the wait. Make of the Geez is an uplifting electro banger fit for pure club extasy that retains his signature sound whilst also exploring new grounds. Choki's swinging drums maintain the same feel-good outlook showing off his versatility and experience of far away lands. 7" is limited to 100 copies and will be available in all good record stores."

PREMIERE : DJCJ - Choki

Some were straight and abhorrent whilst others were rugged and disorganised, cluttered like etched shapes upon a bumpy rock. These were the lines of his youth, each told a story of something from his past and if you followed it from end to end you might just weave far enough to find yourself back at the start. Out here in the middle of the rocky outback there were lines and stories to be found everywhere. You simply had to read between them all and follow suit. 

Sketchy Lines is a newly launched project based in Brussels, described as a multi gender project the imprint is focussed on graphic design, experimental music and collaboration. The first release comes from label founder Salah, an intriguing record which shows signs of promise for the future of the label.
