The microminimal takeover (Threads Radio) & microminimal podcast series

xenonyms is happy to present Nebulae Nursery (Part II), the awe-inspiring conclusion of Charles Taciturn’s most recent artistic endeavor.

A few words from Charles:
"The second half of this album was, again, written during quarantine. Unlike the first, though, I not only had more time to spend contemplating, but more time to devote to the album as well. The songs here I spent more time building, I think, stronger and more intricate melodies and structures.

The album itself is again one which, now as a whole, I want to exist solely on its own without context. So much of what is going on undoubtedly influences your work, but I don't believe one needs to necessarily share their contexts; and perhaps, sometimes, they should go unknown altogether."

Everybody In return in 2021 with a hypnotic and rolling release from the Leeds-based producer Joe Schofield aka Joescho. The artist's influences span deep house, minimal, micro house, garage to jazz, besides his interests for space and the great unknown.

His 2-tracker brings you to two unique and exciting destinations. “Hypnosis” keeps the listeners' feet moving while synth stabs from outer space strike and scamper away. The hypnotic vocal samples help it recede from reality. “The Terminal” a calming melodic house track provides the ‘yang’ to Hypnosis’ ‘yin’, with warm pianos and ethereal pads blending together, best enjoyed from a sun lounger on the beach, cocktail in hand... Don't miss out on this suggestive sound trip!

Out Friday, May 14.

⭐LISTEN NOW⭐

In the 77th episode of the microminimal takeover - we are joined by the Dubai-based selector and @kitchensyncrecords / @warpeddubai founder - @adam-warped
 - tune in for a two hour journey into the realms of minimal! 

🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳📻📻📻🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪📻📻📻
A DJ, promoter, label co-owner and festival coordinator, Adam Rahman has
been a driving force for dance music in the Middle East, India and
increasingly the rest of the world, for decades. Whilst techno might be the go-to sound for dance music right now, he’s been pushing forward-
thinking techno and electronica since he started in the late 90s.

A trailblazing DJ and promoter, Adam brought cutting edge techno and
electronic music to the Middle East just before the millennium, establishing
an ultra-credible dance music scene via his WARPED nights, a true
underground night that brought forward-thinking techno to a land still
dominated by sandcastles, skyscrapers and beach houses. 

WARPED has since evolved into very select events and a monthly Ibiza Global Radio Show - ‘Warped After Hours’ - which hosts rising stars from the Middle East and
India alongside Adam's peerless selections.

Adam Rahman [Synapses Podcast 07/2023

Adam Rahman is a DJ/Producer based out of Dubai. He has been instrumental in developing the Techno scene in India since 1999 and Middle East since 2004.

A DJ, promoter, label & festival co-owner, Adam Rahman has been a driving force for dance music in the Middle East, India and increasingly the rest of the world, for decades. And while techno might be the go-to sound for dance music right now, he’s been pushing forward-thinking techno and electronica since he started in the late 90s.

A trailblazing DJ and promoter, Adam brought cutting edge techno and electronic music to the Middle East just before the millennium, establishing an ultra-credible dance music scene via his WARPED nights, a true underground night that brought forward-thinking techno to a land still dominated by sandcastles, skyscrapers and beach houses. WARPED has since evolved into very select events and a monthly Ibiza Global Radio Show ‘Warped After Hours’ which hosts rising stars from the Middle East and India alongside Adam's peerless selections.

More success followed via his work at Ohm Records, the legendary record store and agency he co-ran, as they brought names like Sven Vath to the region for their debut. Often he'd be the warm-up on those nights as well, showcasing his range of sounds spanning deep, chugging vibes, pulsating and engaging techno and all-embracing electronica alongside Derrick May, Carl Craig and Marco Carola. From there, he became an essential part of the award-winning Groove on the Grass festival team, yet again finding himself at the forefront of the forward-thinking dance music scene in the Middle East, pushing techno and electronica to a growing audience.

That progress regionally has translated into international gigs, including sets in Europe and Asia and becoming a headline name in his own right in his native India. Production-duties soon followed for the certified sound engineer, with releases on labels in UK, Holland and on his beloved KitchenSync Records which he runs alongside two other friends in Dubai. And his sets have been picked up by outlets across the world, with his Wild City mix for Resident Advisor the first to be featured from India.

With his A \ S \ O \ M alias under which he has released music ranging from downtempo, leftfield to alternative electronica, Adam continues to grow and evolve and thrive just like his first love, techno. Hit play and enjoy the journey!

Audiologia 25 - Repo (Costa Rica) & Fio Arita (Honduras)

Welcome to my new segment Room ll. This is where I step away from the surface and dive deep into the sounds that move me at my core. Here, you’ll find raw music, stripped-back grooves, and selections that speak honestly to who I am. This series is my way of sharing my niche, the most underground side of my taste.

Sometimes solo, sometimes with friends, always raw. No gimmicks, no gloss. Just selections that reflect who I really am when the lights are low and the energy’s right.

You’ve entered Room II. Thanks for being here.

RominimalCast095: Adam Rahman

Whilst preparing two synthesis-driven live house/minimal albums (scheduled for live recording on October 18), microminimal records co-founder Meaney found himself drawn into a parallel sonic world: the sample-based realms of Ambient Jungle, Atmospheric Drum & Bass, and Minimal Breakbeats.

Built on the same soulful warmth and hypnotic pulse of Deep House but propelled by the swing of breakbeats, these genres laid much of the groundwork for contemporary electronic music. 

Visionaries such as A Guy Called Gerald and LTJ Bukem took the sound to global prominence, while innovators like Soichi Terada brought it to the iconic soundtracks of Japan’s early 1990s video games.

This 30-minute mini-mix documents Meaney’s live exploration of those sounds - the driving heart of a Roland TR-707, mangled and filtered breakbeats, low-end textures from the Roland MC-707, and a palette of samples ran through analog processing.

The result is a one-take, unrepeatable journey—an homage to the protean energy of 90s electronic music.

Wir haben uns vorgestellt, dass es in Dortmund ist. Die Melodie sollte etwas kalt, verfremdet und psychedelisch rüberkommen.“ Entstanden ist das Stück in ihren verschiedenen Studios: „Wir haben mehrere Jahre für den Track gebraucht und ihn immer wieder zwischen uns hin- und hergeschickt. So machen wir das oft.“ Remixe für den Track kommen von @schleppgeist, @amounttechno & @bookwoodsounds sowie @david-dorad. (...)

Ost & Kjex - Dortmund (David Dorad Remix)

@adam-warped

Adam’s raw, hypnotic and tough-built sound makes way for marathon-dancers and long-endurance sets, which gives him the chance to truly express the detailed variety he seeks in his selections. His meticulous approach to sound runs across his affinity for releasing top notch productions to throwing great nights and events — aside from his KitchenSync Records imprint, one of Adam’s most notable creations is 81115, his annual secret festival which he takes to all sorts of locations across the Middle East and South Asia.

We’re definitely keen on his next clandestine party, if we’re lucky to get an invite! But in the meantime, we’re locked into the more minimal side of Adam’s taste in dance floor grooves.
