“Me costó meterme en el mood ya que llevaba mucho tiempo sin pinchar pero después de unos intentos entré en calor y no encontraba el momento de parar. Al final fueron tres horas. Pensé en hacer un edit y cortar por algún lado pero ya que lo tenía grabado, por qué cortarlo. Os lo comparto tal y como quedó”.  El estilo, el de siempre de Refracted: techno como idea y conducto más que como sonido fácilmente etiquetable. Música de baile en la que los ritmos en capas actúan casi a nivel subepidérmico, neuronal donde los paisajes sonoros en movimiento y evolución adquieren una fisicidad táctil.

Refracted
Para el productor y dj afincado en Berlín, la música electrónica, y el techno en particular, es el medio elegido para encontrar su voz para conectar, más allá de un entretenimiento formulista o una banda sonora para bailar. Ejemplos de esto se pueden encontrar en los lanzamientos de su propio sello Mind Express, y en sellos célebres como PoleGroup o canadiense de ambient/deep-techno Silent Season, además de las cabinas de Tresor, ://about bank o el ahora desaparecido Griessmuehle, en Berlín, además del Contact, Domune en Tokyo o de Paral·lel Festival.

Let’s enjoy again one of the last recordings from our resident Outburst Knobs!

Outburst Knobs @ Acquario - 20/5/23

With deep roots that stretch from ambrosial Kerala to the golden coast of California, CHA CHA’s (@cha-cha-pillai) sound is inspired by purling polyrhythms from cultures beyond the West. Their devotion to tabla, djing, and modular synthesis, guides them through universal sonic spaces.

Mother and sound engineer of Corduroy Garden Soundsystem, CHA CHA organizes hi-fidelity techno-forward experiences in Los Angeles underground. They have worked with crews and curators such as New Palm, Pranks!, Printshop, Vitamin1k, FeM Synth Lab, Acid Camp and United Selector Network.

A note from Cha Cha: 
"With this mix I intend to highlight my everlasting love for cheeky, freaky productions and wormhole bass lines while exploring the mesmerizing technicalities of drum traditions from around the world. I hope to coax the listener into a twisting, off-kilter energetic experience leaving them deep inside my fast, futuristic rhythmic jungle."

Spinning Grounds I w/ Reka Zalan b2b Cecilia Tosh @THF Radio, 26.10.23

Educated in the fertile grounds of the Macedonian techno scene, its no surprise that @viktorapo has made his way onto the likes of @mojubarecords. Established in 2005, Thomas Wendel’s (aka Don Williams) popular Berlin-based label has always been contentious about who it allows into its fold – in a 2008 interview about Mojuba, Wendel confirms that his intention for the label's roster is mainly friends and family and that it will be difficult for outsiders to get in — and this is clear from a quick skim of their Bandcamp page. Familiar names continue popping up throughout Mojuba's discography, such as Sven Weissman, Don Williams/Oracy, and Nick Solé, to name a few.

Viktor’s introduction onto Mojuba’s a.r.t.less sub-label was born from his connection with Macedonian veteran @stojche, who introduced him to Wendel. Stojche could be considered somewhat of a mentor to Viktor, and his influence on him runs deeper than a gateway into the industry. Similar sound design tropes can be found in the production styles of both artists. For example, tracks such as Sojche – Granada and Viktor Apo – Flow feature glassy, dubby, phasey chords layered over flowing grooves. Viktor’s Regenerate EP lives somewhere in the middle ground. It encapsulates the spirit of Mojuba’s deep dubby house roots whilst adhering to a more techno feeling, with its faster bpm’s and bouncy drum programming.

Regardless of whether this sound is something completely new or not, Viktor Apo’s clever combination of loops, grooves, and deep spacey sound design work. It’s a fun and nostalgic throwback to that early Detroit sound, and worthy of a place on the well-respected and closely guarded roster of Mojuba. Viktor Apo is part of a diverse albeit overlooked scene in Skopje that is keeping the city firmly on the electronic music map.

For his //SNCMIX, Viktor puts together a functional, energetic, dancefloor-focused blend of techno and electro tracks. Perfect for your weekend listening.
