The Transfer is a track from our friend Nathan Jonson that came out back in 2018 on Skrufix - our resident remixer The Drifter wanted to put his own twist on things and the result is a bassline driven pumper.

Nathan Jonson - The Transfer (The Drifter Remix)

"Around 3 years ago I became a father and that changed my life. This series is about my son’s world seen through my eyes: the inner sleeve artwork was made by him and the mouth on the label is his. All the titles of this second chapter are also taken from Carlo’s own dictionary: “E Dee” is the first sound he used to make trying to communicate, it could mean many things. “Babu” is the evolution of “Babuke” (in the first volume) Dad, “Didda Dae” is a kind of song that he invented, “Allullu Azzo” is the name used by Camilla to call Carlo." - Fango

Speicher 125 is a most auspicious collaboration between two great, inimitable voices in techno: Kompakt co-founder Michael Mayer, and Magazine’s own Barnt. They’ve both been productive of late, Mayer with his “Brainwave Technology” EP in 2021, Barnt with his first release on Kompakt, "ProMetal Fan Decor Only Product" in 2022. Of course, they’re also busy with their respective record labels, and international DJing schedules.

You may already have heard their first track, which appeared on Michael’s "&" album from 2014, the psychedelic “Und Da Stehen Fremde Menschen”. For Speicher, though, they set their sights firmly on the peak time dance floor – the result is two stunning cuts of techno euphoria. 

On “Teller” Barnt and Mayer unleash a synth storm, tense and thrilling. Percussion piles up against the incessant buzz, but before too long we’re submerged in waves of dense texturology, making the track an object lesson in tension and release. “Duration” is a bittersweet anthem about "life long love". A moving voice tells us about "faith in life" while gleaming, synths, choral swarms and snares shower down from above to form an epic tale about duration and devotion.

Weirding the groove and updating the emotions, Speicher 125 is a monster.

Barnt / Michael Mayer - Teller

Berlin based Tony y Not released this indie dance banger, which Jorkes expertly crafted into a remix with their signature Techno twist.

Jorkes art is rooted in gender, queer and egalitarian attitudes and can often be provocative, whether musically or performatively. This plays out with the always fascinating Freeride Millenium label which they co-runs with their muse, lover and partner Daniel Rajcsanyi aka ParisBöhm. 

Together, they have become central players in Europe's LBGTQIA+ scene thanks to the way they freely express themselves, their emotions and their experiences through their work.

German-born but Austria-based Jorkes only put out their first release in 2016, but soon started turning heads. Their characterful music melds all manner of classic and new school disco sounds with house and electro. Like all the music on Freeride Millenium, their releases come with often confrontational imagery shot by partner Daniel. It has lent the label a unique visual identity that stands it apart and reconnects with dance music's roots in marginalised communities.

With collaborators Jorkes runs the HOT all-gender sauna parties in Vienna. They have long provided a place for their community to come together in a safe space and explore their sexualities without fear of reprisals. During the pandemic, they had to be canceled and the community was left with nowhere to go. As such, it highlighted the importance the dance floor has when it comes to creative thinking, sexual liberation and multicultural amplification. This gave rise to the label's three-part IMPACT compilation as well as a series of discussions around the topic.
Also in 2020, Jorkes curated a compilation for Queer Base, a charity organisation in Vienna that offers social services and legal counseling to LGBTQIA+ refugees who arrive in Austria. It once again proved that Jorkes's mission goes way beyond simply making party music and is instead driven just as much by social causes and uplifting his community.

Next to their music on Freeride Millenium, which was recently featured as DJ Mag’s ‘Vital Label’, Jorkes has stepped up to the influential Frankfurt imprint Live at Robert Johnson with a superb EP as well as dropping music on the highly regarded Permanent Vacation. They have collaborated with NIKKNAME for Ombra International, remixed for Riotvan in Leipzig and have a track on the London based label Family Drama compilation. They took part in a Beatport live stream with some friends in a Vienna art gallery and have some extremely high profiles podcast mixes coming up in 2023.

Alongside ParisBöhm, whom Jorkes describes as their "endless source of love, joy and inspiration," they host a popular monthly radio show on Radio 80000 which has a devoted fan base, and they also hold down a DJ residency at Stuttgart's Romantica. "I directly digest and convert my life's happenings into something expressional that puts me in a dialogue with like-minded people around the world," says Jorkes. As their mission continues, those conversations become increasingly influential.

PREMIERE – Last Men On Earth – Funk To Me (Applied Magic)

Budakid’s ‘Milestones’ gets the remix treatment from three very hot names, with very different results.

Korean hotshot Shubostar has featured on Resident Advisor’s mix series, played leading festivals like Burning Man and released on killer imprints like Robert Johnson, Permanent Vacation, Internasjnoal and her acclaimed Uju Records. Her colorful update on cosmic disco fits perfectly with the charms of Budakid’s style, with a bouncing off-beat bass line driving under heavily reverbed kicks and snares and a flurry of ascending arpeggios. The synths soar, the breakdown takes us into an epic space, and the remix develops beautifully over the course of its 8 minutes to keep you hooked throughout.

London duo Make A Dance are rapidly on the ascent, with a huge release on Classic Music Company and killer cuts on their M.A.D. Records imprint as well as sets at the likes of fabric and Club Silencio. Their rework goes deeper, building through gated snips of the vocal, pulsing pads, Latin snare patterns and subtle bleep riffs and delays to reach a heady, hypnotic place. The ethereal breakdown full of tripped out tape delays and great use of airy vocal harmonies are the icing on the cake, making their remix feel like the original as experienced in a joyous dream. Oh, and prolific guys that they are, they’ve also included a ‘Deep Acid’ mix which... I think you can figure it out?

Rising Dutch talent Milio (Atomnation and formerly one part of Tunnelvisions) rounds off the package by stripping things back to a deep, tripped-out pulse, modulating twanging acid belches in conversation with an off-beat bass bounce. The vocal is used in super-dreamy fashion—particularly in the breakdown—and slick production on that acid line and clever automation keeps it engaging despite this remix’s pared-back approach.

Italian wizard Tayga makes his debut on Maeve with his Rotary Square EP. This release has been a long time coming but we couldn't be happier with the result. Four cuts that resonate at different times on the dance floor but all equally special. Check it x

Once upon a rickety ship, sailed Trikk and Gabriel Massan on a voyage fantastical, To the land of rhythm and beats, where dreams turned magical. Their music, a wondrous creation, set hearts aflutter and souls to soar, "Mata Mata," a melody untamed, with its essence hard to ignore.

Innervisions, the mystical realm, where musical spirits danced and played, Welcomed the duo with open arms, their talent grandly displayed. But lo and behold! Working Men's Club, the sorcerers of sound, Embarked on a mission to remix, adding their touch profound.

Like a cauldron brewing, the remix simmered, enchantment in the air, The beats electrified, melodies transformed with flair. The dancefloor trembled with delight, as bodies moved in perfect sync, The crowd bewitched, captivated, with every rhythmic link.

Trikk's vocals entwined with Gabriel's, harmonies whispered in the night, A symphony of enchantment, a dazzling musical sight. Innervisions revelled in the magic, their spirits soaring high, Trikk, Gabriel, and Working Men's Club, in musical harmony they lie.

And so, the tale of "Mata Mata" weaves through time and space, A fusion of talents, a mesmerising chase. Edward Lear would surely smile, at this whimsical display, As music's magic unfolded, in Lear's peculiar way.

Trikk's debut album, Fauna & Flora was released earlier this year on Innervisions and showcased collaborations with artists such as Jimi Jules and Gabriel Massan. The album blends club music with art-rock, punk, and post-punk elements. Now comes remix EP featuring Roman Flügel, Or:la, and the jackin' Working Men's Club which we're premiering here...

PREMIERE: Trikk Feat. Gabriel Massan - Mata Mata (Working Men's Club Remix)[Innervisions]

Following the release of his album ‘Fauna & Flora’ Trikk invites three remixes by the likes of Or:la, Roman Flügel, and the London-based Working Men’s Club. The mixes explore the hidden depths of the originals and transport them in a club night-ready context without losing the mysticism and edginess of Trikk’s striking debut. While Or:la worked out the instrumental essence of Pandemonio into a genre-spanning dance floor tool, Roman Flügel, and Working Men’s Club did a dive into the explosive baile funk burner „Mata Mata featuring Gabriel Massan" to create versions, that reflect the distinctive sound of each artists' style.
