For Secret Thirteen journal we have worked on a special slowed down techno recording in the spirit of the live sets we have did for Polar Inertia’s recent exhibitions in Brussels and CCA, Tbilisi.

A couple of months ago we have changed all our gear and equipment, and collected new machines but somehow never had enough time to meet altogether and wire them. Finally, we have decided to hook up our new musical gear and equipment to improvise the future of Polar Inertia’s sound.

It was one of those studio jams you do not want to rush to. We took our time. Slowed down the tempo to 112 bpm and sent all synths through a multitrack recorder to catch every moment of the jam session. During hours of knob twisting we went through several states of mind and different styles.

What we are sharing with Secret Thirteen readers is an edited version of what happened that night.

We're beaming to bring you Mix #196, coming at you from London-based DJ and sound artist, Faery.

Faery’s mind-trippin’, body-shakin’ sonic blend for On the 5th Day is inspired by a special b2b session back in July - a dense, heady and brooding rhythmic exploration worthy of the most electric early-hours dance floor.

From the groovers to the pounders, the rollers to the grinders, Freya takes us on a steamy exploration through the heavier realms of the Faery spectrum we’ve come to love; a power-hour selection saluting the beauty of intricate sound design and otherworldly atmospheric landscapes.

Faery has been working her magic for dance floor dwellers at some of the most special venues and festivals in the recent years (think Amsterdam’s De School and Positive Education Festival...); while off of the dance floor, expanding her sonic explorations to where biorhythmic sampling meet experimental ambient, resulting in the creation of “speculative sonic worlds”.  

We can’t wait to see what the future holds for this talented artist but for now, buckle up and enjoy the ride!

Still glowing from that special Teppish People moment at the @leferacoudre stage — @mino_ropes & @_pedrosofa guiding the journey with sound, wrapped in smiles, fog, and connection.

It felt like a gentle dream… the kind you don’t want to wake up from.
Huge thanks to @moustikmustapha for offering us this space, and to everyone who showed up with wide hearts and open ears 💫

We shared some of our own productions, and played tracks from the artists who inspire us deeply — like @apaj.music , @_antaares, @iorie and Morse, our beloved Teppish family 🌀
Their music carried us, grounded us, lifted us.

🎧 The full set is now up on SoundCloud — link in bio! We’d love to hear your thoughts: drop a comment on your favorite moment or track 💬

Big love to the builders, the dancers, the dreamers behind the scenes — this one was a collective.

The Teppish spirit is alive and expanding — see you soon, somewhere under the disco ball 🪩 see you at @planete sauvage
