We back!!! 

Os presentamos la guinda del pastel de esta edición de mixes!

En esta ocasión tenemos el gustazo de sacar a jugar al delantero del número "10" para clausurar esta línea de tremendas sesiones de la jukebox de Portal.

Él es Jorge Calle also known as Psycle. Muchos ya le conocéis por sus andaduras en varias de las mejores plazas de baile de la ciudad. Algunas veces acompañado por su squad Ego Trip y otras en solitario pero siempre denotando calidad y vanguardia en todo lo que hace. 

(También se le reconoce por sus actividades de legalidad cuestionada relacionadas con el contrabando de oro negro vía Estates jeje)

Psycle es un digger, explorador y arqueólogo de la buena música y os lo va a demostrar con este pedazo de archivo de viaje terrenal y espacial en todas sus fases.

Dale al play y cierra los ojos.

A big landmark beckons, it's @doline's debut LP, with it also being the first time a LP drops on Grid. The french producer has been making quite a name for himself, an affiliate of Teki Latex's Sound Pellegrino crew and also dropping a fantastic EP on the France's best, Paradoxe Club in 2020. This new album sets new heights for Doline, his trademark sound & style is prominent within 'Dompte-regard', with his intricate sound design ever present. 
Throughout the LP, his synth work and captivating melodies make it glide between blissful home listening and adventurous club tracks. Fluctuating through tempo & moods with ease, 'Dompte-regard' could not sum up Doline any better, a truly fantastic representation of an extremely talented emo producer. 

For the first time this release will be also proposed in a CD version ! A beautiful object designed by Unité Services. A concept around transparency "to tame your sight". Only 100 copies available.

Built around the sounds of an old bass guitar the record skips across a spectrum of tempos, blending creaky synthetic textures with barbed percussive hits.

@sann-odea line up their first physical CD compilation 'Ithomiines'. Dedicated to the enrapturing beauty of the Ithomiini butterfly, a species of glasswing butterflies. The compilation aims to soundtrack the metamorphosis of the insect by inviting label artists to interpret the organism. Our pick from the compilation is ‘Natu‘ by Dutch producer and Radio TNP resident @marijnswillens.

The night was young but it already seemed ever so frantic and free in the club. It was as if they had already been there for hours as they danced and moved between the flickering lights as smoke began to fill the air. From the corner of his eye he watched as fellow dancers and revellers continued to file down the stairs and into the murky abyss below.

Perhaps this was his favourite time of the night? The quiet calm before the storm – the music loud but not yet punishing, the pace moody and slow in time with his swaying hips.

He watched as the world beneath became busier and one by one the people came and went. This was a special place, that much was true. Perhaps 10-11 was the best time of all?

Redstone Press continue in the pursuit of leftfield Bass music and harder sounds – the next EP on the label coming from Tano and featuring remixes by the likes of Toumba and Delay Grounds. This one features off piste rhythms and percussion – keeping the energy flowing in the best and weirdest of ways.

PREMIERE: Tano - 10 - 11 (Toumba Remix) [Redstone Press]

After debuting on 3024 in July 2021 with "I See Faces in the Trees" on the label's first Artist Mentorship Compilation, we are very proud to present Talik's Firefly EP.

On this record, the London-based producer explores and experiments with the twitchy, flickering movements of animals of the night, their behaviors perhaps analogous to our own in dark and loud rooms surrounded by strangers- alone but together. Through four beautiful tracks we are shown a more energetic side of Talik's music, layered with the moods of her earlier work for Intercept, Pressure Dome and Control Freak.

Enjoy!

Talik - Gloworm (3024-TAL1)

This time, we welcome a fresh seaside breeze in our yard, bringing back memories of a summer filled with juicy moments. Breeze full of broken and bassy selecta straight from one of 𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺’𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘴, real strong player & full of unique energy gal with her gun fingers pointed into the sky. 
Say hello to 𝙗𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙠. Gdańsk based DJ, a solid selector, and a member of the newly formed femme collective, 𝙋𝙊𝙄𝙎𝙀, which has established itself as a safe space for women, queer, and underrepresented individuals in the Tricity club scene.

Her fresh mix is a combination of warm, soft bass and broken sounds with a hint of electro. Especially delightful on these final sunny days. We melt at the thought of the passing summer and we don't hide the fact that we felt a bit sentimental. Float through these meanders of broken sounds topped with feisty vocals. It feels good. 

blank, you boss. Thank you! (人❛ᴗ❛)♪
