~ exploring 3/2 polymeter mixing for dance practice, a biweekly dancefloor meditation at LSD in greenpoint, bk ~ ^^

the evening began with a guided movement meditation by selena lee, which i followed with this 90-min percussion workout. selena's instruction helped everyone body-scan and ground themselves, settle into the space, and greet their neighbors. with everyone so dialed into their bodies and the sound, i felt free to explore a litany of trax i have been collecting that hover between tuplet and triplet meters, creating a hybrid rhythmic space where you are free to follow multiple equally present tempos and pulses. special thanks to everyone who shared their favorite triplet trax with me ahead of the night ^^ selections from doula, plushie, lucia beyond, iha, and baalti are included here :)

pretty bright light * * vol.2 * * [live at dance practice, LSD loft]

traverse is proud to announce the release of its first record - a compilation of six tracks from various artists, inspired by Pembroke King’s poem moving silhouettes, written for this occasion.

As the fourth volume of the compilation series “traversée”, moving silhouettes encourages artists to explore all corners of listening music and creative avenues that aren’t tied to any one convention. 

Pembroke King’s poem sheds light on the mood of the compilation, and even though each artist brings its own interpretation of it, there is a beautiful harmony of it all - from Kate Miller’s atmospheric sounds to Teqmun’s drums-made-of-rain-drop-recordings or Ghjuliú’s nostalgic melodies, the listener travels around Pembroke’s words with each track. 

As our first physical release, we feel honoured to collaborate with artists who have been involved in a way or another on traverse before such as Officium, Mika Oki and Alohn, but Kate Miller, Teqmun, and Ghjuliú, that we’ve been keeping close to our heart for a long time already.

twisted and tripped out rhythms from the ever-evolving artist, konalgad. 

konalgad is the new alias by ahmad qatramiz who is better known for his alias quatri. when looking at the story behind the word konalgad in arabic, it means: the universe of tomorrow, referring to a constructive, enchanting, yet light and floating ascent.these are all themes and ideas that relate to konalgad’s work as he leans towards the healing low end frequencies and vibrations. this is shown in full through his latest album, ‘club dream’, which was released last month via new york’s dance data label. the album ebbs and flows like a mix, seamlessly flowing through konalgad’s influences whilst ‘the record imparts it’s own kind of dance floor dream logic onto the listener, inviting us to let go of making sense of things and trust in its fuzzy logic.’

Untitled 909 Podcast 226: Konalgad

For our 40th episode, Paris-based producers Qoso and Zulu team up for a high-voltage B2B rooted in the darker shades of trance and the raw pulse of Durban’s gqom. Qoso, affiliated with In Paradisum and known for his tense, percussive compositions, draws from cinematic atmospheres and a deconstructed approach to techno. Whether scoring films or releasing on labels like Trilogy Tapes, his sound is meticulous, moody, and uncompromising. Zulu, associated with Association Fatale, Deardogs and host on LYL Radio, is a fixture of the Paris scene, bringing high-intensity, rhythm-forward club energy — always syncopated, always deep in the groove. Together, they explore a trance shaped by repetition, weight, and ghostly emotion — a slow-burning, sweaty 50-minute ride designed for dark rooms and heavy systems.

JAN LOUP 10.6.25

the 9th naffcast is a recorded session from the passage of Jan Loup at Ohm Berlin for Pppppoems, in between 3 and 5 in the morning. 

@janloup

In the artist's words : 

For those two hours i rly wanted to embrace the picture a glaoting fairies-goblins complete cycle party, imagining the rite would happen in a flowery clearing deep in the middle of a giant firs forest, where those feisty creatures would then ingest some fine nuts and ravishing mushroom and start the ball by giggling swinging hovering around, until the hit arrives and the dance become more frenetic as they progressively mutate into forest parts into soil and roots and bushes, slowly loosing their contour to be part of the whole. The climax would be complete fusion, returning to being particules of the mole, flirting with univers laws, atomic gangbang. Then gently the rite wraps up as they return to their bodies, ultimate shapeshifters, fulfilled from the feeling of shortly having been together one. Return the energy to the ground and the life takes delightfully back its course
Bass hippie enough lol?

"this transmission is a calibration device

i found it in the springtime under a shower of pink blossoms
my spirit, an ooze seeping out onto the floor
in this state of sub-being, words passed through untethered—
unintelligible, and touch was void

the device sent rippling waves through the air,
arranging it into mutating forms
they traveled inward and rebounded, inverting inside and out
wisps of feeling newly embodied pushed boldly from every pore

i watched as the shapes of people grew unimaginably
the glimmering swells were interspersed with pearls
which gradually came loose and fell
unlocked, my innermost madness unfurled into a spiraled conch

as the day darkened, the sounds became grim and hoarse
emotions scraped against each other with serrated edges
disintegrating madness into a fine lunar silt
voices came flooding, and in unison whispered: trust"
