PREMIERE | Posthuman - Airstrip One (DJ Karawai Remix) [Balkan Vinyl] 2022

This month sees Byron The Aquarius officially launch his TALKNOI$E label, the first release "Shroomz, Guns and Roses" is an all-original 5 track EP by the main man himself. 
When Byron The Aquarius talks about live frequencies, his enthusiasm is infectious! A keys player by trade, his love for melody and harmony has consistently drawn the attention of electronic music’s leading labels and producers.
In 2015, Byron released his solo album on BBE, “Planets of Love”, and when he wasn’t working on his own music, he was playing keys in the studio with Kai Alce. These creations got into the hands of Theo Parrish, who loved the sound of his sublime jazz-infected house and picked two tracks to release on Sound Signature in 2016, the “Highlife EP”. In the years since, Byron has consistently released quality music on Wild Oats, Eglo & more. There’s been his “Astral Traveling” album on Mutual Intentions, and the “Ambrosia LP” on Jeff Mills’ Axis Records. Most recently, Byron released “The New Beginning LP” on Shall Not Fade. Byron has toured the planet playing festivals Dimensions, Dekmantel, Suncebeat, Lente Kabinet, and All Points East, as well as the worlds’ most important clubs.
“Shroomz, Guns and Roses” was born out of the pandemic. It was a time when Byron felt deep in nature and the studying of zen. In his own words “I felt like the pandemic brought out a darkness in me, and I combatted these negative thoughts with nature and mushrooms to create a balance in my life spending time in the mountains of Alabama and Asheville, North Carolina. I chose “guns” and “roses” as a way to juxtapose the violence we’re experiencing in the USA with the peace of mind a rose can bring as a balance in life. Music makes its way through these tough times we’re all facing, and to me, music is that rose. I paint a canvas of my emotions through synthesizers and drum machines to show the world balance can be found through even the toughest of times.

PREMIERE : Byron The Aquarius - Never cOME dOwn? feat. Cedthemighty

We all piled in, five of us crammed into one of the tub-shaped cars, giddy and giggling. There was a brief commotion as we argued over who was going to sit next to who, but soon we were off and the laughter continued, slightly more hysterical now. A surly teenager working on the ride immediately gravitated to our car and gave it a spin, sending it lurching in the opposite direction that the undulating ride was travelling. Some cheesy old-rave banger was playing over the soundsystem, Rozalla maybe, it was hard to tell. "Scream if you want to go faster!" Jonny shouted above the din, so of course we did. And the kid with the furry upper lip and biro tattoos duly obliged, the car rotating into oblivion until I was so dizzy I felt sick.

Ransom Note fave Timothy Clerkin has remixed Queen, the latest single from the feminist pop duo Seagoth, which was released on Bytes on June 10. The Manchester-based producer, DJ and boss of Insult to Injury Records has taken Queen on a trip to the free party scene of 1992, with echoes of the Prodigy and old-school rave anthems in the thunderous breakbeats and day-glo melodies.

The glittering glam-rock original was written and produced by 20-year-old Georgia Ochoa (guitarist/lead vocals) in her bedroom at home in Cheshire. Exhausted by the inequality of the sexes, but also fuelled to instigate change, Ochoa wrote this song to highlight the effects of modern day misogyny.

Continuing its journey into the unknown, Avoidant Records makes a return with a bold new compilation that features a huge roster of artists from the past, present & future of Electro. 

From the minds of the legendary Soma Records camp in Glasgow, Avoidant has been a beacon for the emergence of new talent from its home country and abroad, whilst remaining true to the output of previous generations. This commanding compendium of Electro packs in a whopping 17 tracks of mesmerising, cutting-edge futuristic music.

The heart of Detroit beats through the veins of this VA. Originators Keith Tucker aka DJ K-1, Detroit In Effect & Detroit’s Filthiest aka DJ Nasty as well as Carl Finlow + The Advent have laid the groundwork and set the future alight. Following fearlessly in their stead, the likes of CYRK, Versalife, Annie Hall, Fear-E and DJ Frankie bear the torch of the new breed. To complete the line up, past Avoidant artists return to wreck havoc,
including Autonomous, PinballSpider, Syrte & Kronos Device.

A crack squad of elite artists have been assembled - now is the time to DEFEND YOUR PLANET.
