Alex from Lurid Music:

'Aggelos first approached Lurid Music with the idea for this project a few months ago. We agreed on one condition, that all proceeds be donated to refugee causes, like we did with his Black Sea EP which supported the Syrian refugee crisis. When Russia invaded Ukraine, we decided our focus had to be helping the Ukrainian refugees who were forced to leave their homes in search of safe havens abroad.

We discussed this with most contributors to the project and the consensus was that donations should strictly go to humanitarian groups and not any armament funds. There were also some thoughts about helping conflict-affected peoples in other parts of the world but we decided it was too much to tackle for a relatively small project like this one.

Therefore, donations stemming from the sales of this release will be distributed to the following humanitarian groups currently active in Ukraine or neighboring countries welcoming refugees:

- International Medical Corps: internationalmedicalcorps.org/emergency-…n-ukraine/
- Urgent Action Fund for Women’s Human Rights - Ukraine Urgent Response Fund: urgentactionfund.org
- Polish Humanitarian Action: www.pah.org.pl/en/donate/
- World Central Kitchen: wck.org/relief/activation-chefs-for-ukraine

We are thankful for their meticulous work, especially to Dietrich for enlisting his fellow engineers to help with the massive remix load, 44 tracks are definitely too much for one person to listen to in such a short span.

PREMIERE : Khidja - Under Stressure

Modular Windfall is a collection of live recorded tracks created using my eurorack modular synthesiser as an instrument. Each track is based on a unique patch created just for that piece, and I record everything live from start to finish to capture a one-off improvised production.

This was not pre-conceived or planned project but just brings together a windfall of music I created during a particularly productive 18 months during which I was submitting tracks to the monthly EscherMusicConnection event in Bristol - amazing local community of talented, up-and-coming electronic producers and artists showcasing their music and organised by the legendary Elevator Sounds team and I am dedicating this track to them. I hope you enjoy it.

Rotterdam via London based producer and Feed The Void label head Birds returns to her own label with a brand new EP ‘Space Transmissions From A Cruel World’, a bass heavy ode to the sad state of Planet Earth.

Opener ‘Wicked Games’ is as sub filled builder; the distorted acid line contrasting to the lower frequencies and cutting through strong on a layer of vocal samples and Birds’ own vocal.

‘Save Humanity. Forget Authority’ is a breakbeat number with a kick that packs a punch. The track’s message is clear: the world is in crisis and humanitarianism is coming second to authoritarianism and greed.

‘Brug Open, Motor Af’ is an homage to The Netherlands and the Zuid-Holland West Coast sound that brought her here. One of the samples you hear is the monotonous drone of the Rotterdam’s Mathenessebrug opening whilst the vocal is suitably vocoder heavy. This contrasts to the chopped up Drill vocal sample that works as base for the track and adds a melancholic and serious feel to it. Beat wise, it’s as Electro as it gets with her signature 303 making an appearance mid way through the track.

‘It’s A Long Way To Go (To Escape The Human Race)’ is an Amen Breaks track whilst the simple 3 note lead line gives it a mild 80s pop-esque feel, contrasting greatly to to the sub-y Drum n Bass style bass line. This track is an immediate snap shot into the multiple genres that inspire the artist.

‘Shake Things Up’ builds and drops through sonic layering, the way a shoe-gaze track might but is still essentially a Bass music track that lyrically questions life’s unspoken rules and expectations.

‘Space Transmissions From A Cruel World’ is probably Birds’ most musically ambitious record yet and one that fully incorporates her sonic pallet and the wild journey you might find yourself on during one of her DJ sets, whilst also acting as a social commentary. It has a unique-ness that’s often missing within the dance music industry.

PREMIERE: Birds - It's A Long Way To Go (To Escape The Human Race) [Feed The Void]

The views from the aeroplane were hard to believe, the scale of the deep blue as it disappeared into the great beyond was staggering. The endless abyss of the limitless sky.

Clouds were sparse yet every time he caught a glimpse of one he’d try to create a mental image or a sense of perspective as to what they were, floating against the backdrop of the opal sky.

He imagined a great dragon, a frightening beast roaring through the sky with a mighty myriad of colours cascading from its magnificent wings.

It was all magic up here.

Sarayu is set to release an EP on More Rice – a wiggly, techy beauty of an EP which combines lots of fast paced, glitchy elements to craft a deep, pensive groove.

PREMIERE: Sarayu - Don Vito Bingus [More Rice]

Premiere : Eklektique - But You Have To Dance [SNIPPETS]

Mixmag is publishing a three-part editorial series exploring 3-Step.

Part 1 explores the topic of "Why Afro house’s latest evolution is more than a sound, it’s a movement" and can be read here: https://mixmag.net/feature/3-step-afro-houses-evolution-movement-africa-unity

In this accompanying mix, @arabaoa showcases the African spirituality, futurism, rhythm and tradition inherent in the sound.

“I instantly fell in love with the 3-Step sound before I even knew what it was. But now, coming to understand the philosophy behind the genre, it means even more. To me, Pan-Africanism is more than just a political ideology or cultural trend. It’s a path – perhaps the only path – to healing and liberation for the global Black community. We are not a monolith but we are inextricably linked; it is through celebrating our connection that we unlock the power of the collective. What does this have to do with 3-Step? In just one song I can hear (or rather, feel) the futurism of South Africa, the spirituality of East Africa, the rhythm of West Africa and the tradition of North Africa. It’s a sound that feels so familiar, so ancestral and yet, so new. To put it simply, it’s pure magic.”

Scene: Araba (3-Step mix)

Ringing the cash register as flows of cold, hard cash cascade in, @clara-uno's new release on @low-jack and Jean Carval's genre-crossing imprint @editions-gravats finds the Galician-born, Brussels-based reggaetonera firing off a pair of blazing dancehall rippers, sure to have the dancers wading knee-deep in their own sweat and bodies drawing daringly closer.
