Over the past year as Peder Mannerfelt has shed the skin of The Subliminal Kid, we've only had small samples to taste of his new brand of musical sorcery. Lines Describing Circles changes all of that. Ten tracks deep, this is not so much an album as it is a declaration. From the opening, harrowing crackle of "Collapsion," Mannerfelt's intent is to crush the listener into a perfect, metal cube.

Lines Describing Circles, like the EP before it, is laser-focused. It's the sound of a man fully in control of his machines. Throughout the album, though, there are respites. The title track settles into a hypnotic groove while a simple, infectious melody repeats into the darkness. This is music you'll hear at a club after the end of the world. "In Place Of Once Was" has a melody lurking, too, but it's constantly overwhelmed by sub-bass nihilism. Mannerfelt presents the small bit of light as an illusion, knowing full well that by this point we're all wrecked.

This is heavy music, but not without purpose. As sequencers compete in unison on "Alpha Waves," there's a hint at the real meaning of Lines Describing Circles. Mannerfelt is searching for truth through electronic escapism and he's willing to take down anyone in his path to do it. "Gulo Gulo Caesitas" is the pinnacle of the firestorm. Cacaphonous beats pummel into submission while feedback and seemingly endless layers of aural mayhem rain down like sonic acid rain.

As the computerized voice repeats "Barren" over and over on "Evening Redness In The West," the end becomes a myth. There is no horizon left to long for. There is no blood left to bleed. Peder Mannerfelt's transformation complete, he is off to find new trails to blaze as the melancholic pads of "Rotterdam Anagram" are obscured by distorted filth. Everyone rejoice.

Tresor Records - DJ Plant Texture - 24 Jun 2025

The Medellín maverick opens RA.997 with another mind-altering home run.

As part of our countdown to the 1000th edition of the RA Podcast, a milestone in the 18-year history of Resident Advisor's weekly mix series, we're switching up the usual format.

This week, following heady excursions through Lagos, Kampala, Detroit and Chicago, our focus shifts to Latin America—arguably the story in underground electronic music since the pandemic.

After years of being all but overlooked internationally, the explosion of distinctive club sounds emerging from Peru, Brazil, Colombia and beyond has finally begun to get its due.

Among the movement's great success stories are two artists who exemplify its refreshingly undogmatic energy: Verraco and Bitter Babe, and the former handles the A-side of RA.997. 

Is there a more compelling electronic artist around right now? Both in the studio and behind the decks, the Medellín-based DJ and producer currently sits in that coveted creative sweet spot, where every fresh musical morsel feels like a moment. To bask in any of his singular tracks on VOAM, Timedance and now XL Recordings, is to be bowled over by their rhythmic brilliance, madcap hooks and whirlpool basslines. ("Basic Maneuvers," anyone?)

His mix is tough to pin down—a blend of dubby techno, tribal atmospheres, slanted bass and sharp edits. Or, as he puts it in the accompanying interview: “an intersection between dub-infused techno but with some flow, reduced atmospheric tribal, edgy bass cuts, mental emo-tek.”

There’s plenty of unreleased TraTraTrax material here, alongside tracks from artists like Virginia, A Made Up Sound and a euphoric flip of Ploy’s “Ramos.” Slippery, emotional and surgically precise, it’s Verraco doing what he does best.

TRIP 003

[HARMONY021]— Harmony marches eastward with its 21st EP, reconnecting with its roots through a collaboration with Kohra and Monophonik. While firmly grounded in the label’s deep-techno foundations, this release leans into a sharper focus on functional, dance oriented grooves and basslines.

A-side is opening with weight and intent, shedding the EP’s melancholic hues for something darker and more forceful. The gently broken spirit of “Uyire” follows, gliding between drones and gated vocals, stitched together by tactile percussion and an underlying volatility.

“Wavefolding Dreams” lives up to its name—wickedly modulated waveforms rise from a slapping bassline that pour like upside-down rain, finally dissolving into soothing, dreamy pads.

“Eastern Timbers” starts B-side with a deep, driving momentum. Trancey basslines and swinging arpeggios ebb and flow with tidal pads, wrapping the EP in a hypnotic finish that pulses with forward energy.

Decompress with “Neuroresonance” situated on the inner ring of the B-side. Suspenseful sliding drones in a wide stereo field and a sustained chord that breathes nostalgia, covered by a playful filter in motion.

Kohra & Monophonik - Eastern Timbres [HARMONY021] *EP Preview

Producteur, performeur live, artiste sonore et DJ, Trois-Quarts Taxi System (Eloi Petillon) fait partie de cette génération post-Covid qui embrasse pleinement son style hybride, se libérant des étiquettes de genre pour créer des paysages sonores complexes et hypnotiques. Le dubstep, la techno, l'électro acoustique et même la dnb ne sont que quelques-uns des univers qu’il survole et mixe à la recherche d’expériences cérébrales, psychédéliques et imprévisibles où design sonore futuriste, field recordings et polyrhythmes se mêlent et s’affrontent.
Il est actuellement résident sur les radios Rinse et Lyl. En 2019, il co-fonde le collectif et label De la... je l'espère, puis l'année suivante, le label Hard Love Motor Love, dédié à la musique expérimentale et aux créations visuelles.

Holobiont by STDJ b2b Forest @ GIMIC - 04 September 2025

Peder Mannerfelt splits the difference between playful immediacy and daring experimentation. You’re as likely to find him premiering a live show at Berlin’s Atonal festival as pulling apart fabled techno meccas from Berghain to Fabric with synapse-frying precision. One minute he’s being asked to remix Björk, and the next he’s dropping EPs of non-conformist techno for Karenn’s Voam label. 

As a prolific collaborator throughout his career, Mannerfelt has veered from the orchestral tension of Roll The Dice (with Malcolm Pardon) to the anything-goes maximalism of Aasthma (with Pär Grindvik). As a producer, he’s worked on every one of Fever Ray’s acclaimed albums and live shows, as well as projects from alt music heavyweights such as Smerz, Blonde Redhead and Glasser. His Peder Mannerfelt Produktions label has become another outlet for his singular approach, presenting his work alongside similarly experimental operators like Sissel Wincent, Machine Woman, Klara Lewis and Hodge. 

More recently, his PM+ series celebrates the immediacy of club-focused tracks, and Mannerfelt thrives on the energy and community of contemporary club music. What makes him different is his response to that energy, as he pushes the music’s possibilities in wild, unpredictable directions.
