Our final mix of 2023 comes from Earth Dog Records founder, Jek @earthdogbk - an hour of sludgy, swampy prog & rave fuelled trance made for  his favourite place to dance, the great outdoors. 

Big love to Jek for the contribution and rounding off a great year of submissions! <3

The concept of this mix is biome rave. Each arch/section is based on different outdoor environments where I imagine a perfect dancefloor.

I also wanted to include a few unfinished productions I’ve been working on, It was a challenge but also fun to fully customize tracks to fit into the mix.

INTERVIEW + TRACKLIST > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/alberta-balsam

Stepping up to deliver IA MIX 385 @albertabalsam carefully pieced-together a mix weaving a winding tale of magnetic character. Dextrously manipulated synths, coarse beat patterns, and industrial disorder open a wormhole of multiversal music, complex yet cohesive by nature - dig in.

From Another Mind -Since97(Belcebuitres67 Remix)

Dieser Track liefert kompromisslosen Hard Techno mit einer rohen, industriellen Kante. Treibende Percussions, eine hypnotische Bassline und eine düstere Atmosphäre machen ihn zur perfekten Waffe für den Peak-Time-Einsatz im Warehouse oder Club.
