IA MIX 349 Sofie Birch

At Unsound 2021, Shackleton and Wacław Zimpel will present a new work entitled ‘The Spirit Still Remains’, an Unsound-commissioned performance involving alto clarinet, electronics and voice. Broadly understood as ritual and devotional music, the work will explore transcendence, love and death.
As part of the Unsound podcast series, Shackleton and Zimpel were asked to make a mix that would somehow connect to this project, to perhaps reveal some of its inspirations and reference points.
Shackleton and Zimpel say: “Over the course of the past couple of years, we have often recorded or rehearsed together. Generally at the end of the day, we might get a couple of beers in and listen to other people's music. Some of it is stuff we both know and like, some of it music that one of us thought the other might like. When we were asked to do the mix, we thought it might be good to select music that we had listened to together. Then we decided to expand the scope a bit to fit more of a common theme. Broadly speaking, the mix is intended to be ritual, sacred or meditative music in various forms, something we are trying to achieve with our project. We hope you enjoy it.”

HUNT THE UNKNOWN W/ TUCAN DISCOS 13/05/2023

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-vijunns-industry

Los Angeles-based visual artist and producer Jeremy Raskin – better known as Vijunns – emerges from the threads of urban mayhem with his latest single ‘Industry'...Our pick is the original version - pulsing with a slow-burning intensity, drifting through spectral arpeggios as distant, space-delayed atmospheres glow in a midnight sun. It's as if the ghostly noise of a post-industrial metropolis has been recycled into a high-powered turbine, propelling listeners into a dazzling dance.

Paris' @janeret hits the bullseye with four silky prog cuts on Cardiff label @hawsmusic, delivering a brand new EP 'Cosmic Travel'.

Each track - including bonus digital exclusive 'Breaker' - is drenched in celestial synths and low-slung basslines, primed for big room hypnosis. Translucent melodies dart and shimmer while heavyweight drums flex like they own the place.

PREMIERE : New Spectrum - We're Alright

https://soundcloud.com/kenya-bahana https://soundcloud.com/wearetalkingmachine
🛒 https://wearetalkingmachine.bandcamp.com/album/fractal-vision-ep-2

Kenya presents her new debut EP for Talking Machine after joining the label crew in 2024, titled Fractal Vision. The EP consists of 3 tracks, accompanied by 2 remixes by Anatolian Weapons and Arvin Fajar. The EP itself narrates about a journey through emotion and experience, capturing the essence of growth, introspection, and transformation, one that creates a dynamic landscape. From every track, it is something that developed naturally through the textures and layers of the sound it self, create something that feels like telling a story through sound.

The EP starts off with Transfer Your Energy with steady bassline that knocks the track gently, keeping the listener on the ground. The dreamy bells that surrounds the track make an important role to the mood, chased by distort sound and noise with on the bridge, an intense acidic layers and synths with high hat that gives house feels to build up the energy itself, caving your ears until it stops.

For the second track is Turbulence, a mid tempo track that gives a sense of hypnotizing along the track, with modulated bassline, atmospheric pads with long decay and subtle granular processing, sporadic high-resonance synth fills for dynamic contrast, and dissonant high-register minor stabs for tonal tension, complemented by organic flow, and stabilized by a classic kick drum for foundational weight.

For the ending, Fractal Vision, an uptempo journey driven by a groovy bassline and some bittersweet background synths to give the sense from the EP itself, layered with snare fills that clash playfully against a trashy front snare, while dual harmony synths intertwine to trigger the emotion, all subtly underscored by a spoken words that deliver thematic messaging without disrupting the momentum.

A transforming beast of a track, it mutates into an intense, acidic bassline-driven force, layered with glitchy electronic synths that guide the listener through a turn-around journey—an invitation to both dance and pause. Smart sequencing sustains tension, building an immersive bridge for a heavy-hitting drop. A short-decay, raw yet polished snare knocks from the back, with mid-tone percussive textures subtly shaping the groove. Perfectly placed hats charge the atmosphere unconsciously—injecting housey. Near the close, a spoken message adds deeper meaning—a final treat before the sound disappears into the ether.

A trance-style synth melody gradually builds up with an opening filter, increasing energy and creating a festive, euphoric vibe—like an outdoor rave. A steady rhythm and acid-style effects swirl in the background, adding depth. As the track progresses, a layered melody slowly emerges, staying strong and steady. A deep bassline quietly supports everything, giving the track a solid foundation. Crisp hi-hats shape the rhythm, making room for key vocal moments that draw the listener in. All the sounds come and go smoothly, keeping the flow tight and intentional.

PREMIERE : Serious A - Ballistic Bunny

Raw and immersive, Awara is the latest release (and first self-release) from Partner Music - the solo project of Chris Trowbridge aka Troby, a London-based producer and songwriter. Known for his boundary-pushing collaborations, Troby played a significant role in shaping several standout tracks on Dom Maker’s (Mount Kimbie) Die Cuts—including “F1 Racer,” “Need U Tonight,” “Tender Hearts Meet the Sky,” and “If and When.” He also developed the original concept for the Grammy-nominated single “Loading” from James Blake’s Playing Robots Into Heaven."


Drawing inspiration from Bollywood soundtracks and global rhythms, Awara reframes those influences into a hypnotic, genre-blurring club track with real emotional weight. Blending rolling percussion, cinematic tension and low-end pressure, this song has been made for low-ceiling basements, open-air sound systems, and focused headphone sessions alike.

No Signs of Life’ pulses with rebellious rhythms and an energetic, chest-pumping spirit. This track challenges passivity and inspires action through its genre-fluid approach. GLNY keeps listeners on their toes, seamlessly blending UK bass, breaks, electro, and techno. Reflecting on the inhumanity prevalent in modern society, the song carries a positively humanistic message, infused with a primal, animistic ethos that evokes feelings of triumph. GLNY’s artistic diversity shines, making ‘No Signs of Life’ some of his best work yet.
