*FULL INTERVIEW: https://boltingbits.com/mixed-by-phasmid/

For our latest MIXED BY feature, we’re excited to welcome Phasmid, a producer and DJ who has been steadily making his mark on the UK electronic scene. Rooted in Leeds, his sound is a sharp, bass-driven fusion of breakbeat, electro, and trance, meticulously crafted with a keen ear for dark, percussive textures and leftfield sound design.

His recent Hadal Zone EP on Gimme A Break Records is a testament to his dedication, a project that took two years to perfect. Featuring a remix from long-time inspiration Kessler, the release encapsulates the depth of his sonic explorations, seamlessly weaving together UK club influences with his signature crisp production style. Beyond his solo work, Phasmid also runs Taipan Trax, a label that has become an extension of his own musical identity, bridging the gap between his personal projects and the artists shaping the underground scene around him.

This past year has seen him step further into the spotlight, taking his sound on tour across Asia, where he’s connected with audiences from Singapore to Japan. The mix he’s crafted for us was recorded at Wild Pearl Radio in Singapore, capturing the energy of his travels in a carefully built progression of tempo and intensity.

We caught up with Phasmid to talk about his creative process, the challenges of running a label in today’s ever-changing digital landscape, and how the Leeds scene shaped his path. He also shares some under-the-radar artists worth keeping an eye on and hints at what’s next—including a collaborative project that reflects the connections he’s made on the road.

Hit play and dive in.

ITLP21 ANDREA - LIVING ROOM

Ladislav Zensor (Oblaka, Exhausted Modern) returns to YUKU with S.O.O.S | Shores of Old Sentiments, a deeply personal journey through memory and time. Following his previous EP, Petrichor Memories, and his 2022 debut album, HACE, this record is both a continuation and a return. While Petrichor Memories reflects childhood moments in a city housing estate, S.O.O.S. flows into the Czech countryside.

The album takes its name from SOOS, a volcanic region in western Bohemia. Once alive with bubbling streams and the sharp scent of sulfur, it now stands largely still, a fitting parallel to the shifting textures and disintegrating structures within these tracks. Flickering synths, arrhythmic percussion, and echoes of the past weave together, blurring the edges of time and place.

Closing the album are two special collaborations: Baryt with Moroccan sound designer Disektor and Temporal Echoes with Egyptian/Prague-based multidisciplinary artist Qow.

Following our recent news article on Kokong Festival, today we turn our attention to the festival’s inaugural sampler - a curated glimpse into the artists set to perform this weekend inside the iconic geodesic dome at Pub Stallhagen on Åland.

Spanning four tracks, the compilation brings together leading voices from the Nordic electronic music scene: FISK, the analog techno alias of Finnish producer and Elektron product specialist Daniel Troberg; the exploratory textures of Andreas Tilliander and jazz trumpeter Goran Kajfeš; the murky Baltic atmospheres of Havsmörker; and the pulsating club energy of Norwegian techno veteran Mental Overdrive.

Our pick from the sampler is the opening track 'Ilväder' by Scandinavian duo @havsmoorker. Comprising Anton Johansson and Axel Jonsson, the pair fuse field recordings, analogue synthesis, and traditional acoustic instrumentation into immersive folktronica and ambient works. Their sound conjures a sense of sensory navigation - foggy, spatial, and deeply intuitive.

Steeped in atmosphere, Ilväder is both murky and crystalline - a meditative piece that weaves mystical synth lines with effervescent percussion, blending natural elements like flute with earthy, ancient textures. The result is an experimental, downbeat track that gently leans toward the techno spectrum, while remaining rooted in introspection and place.

No Signs of Life’ pulses with rebellious rhythms and an energetic, chest-pumping spirit. This track challenges passivity and inspires action through its genre-fluid approach. GLNY keeps listeners on their toes, seamlessly blending UK bass, breaks, electro, and techno. Reflecting on the inhumanity prevalent in modern society, the song carries a positively humanistic message, infused with a primal, animistic ethos that evokes feelings of triumph. GLNY’s artistic diversity shines, making ‘No Signs of Life’ some of his best work yet.

Digital + physical preorder: October 8 2025
Release date: October 30 2025

Fast At Work returns with another statement EP, this time from the label’s own Carré (@carreo) and her closest collaborator Danny Goliger (@dannygoliger). Navigating through textured atmospheres, rhythmic explorations, and immersive landscapes, they allowed their music to unfold naturally—an organic process shaped by curiosity and intuition. Each track was born from sampling its predecessor, creating a recursive dialogue that guided the creative flow. A commitment to a tension-building groove in ‘Up Too Late’, the warped dub throughlines of ‘Tricky One’, the intricate, delicate uptempo delight that is ‘Exit Plan,’ and the bridge between all four tracks ‘Don’t Keep Me In Suspense’ — each reflect different moments in this journey. An expert in textural exploration, the Dutch DJ and producer Konduku (@kondukukonduku) brought out the true hypnotic potential of the title track. Their influences ripple outward, yet the sound remains inherently theirs—fluid, unbound by singular genre or label.

Oscar Mulero/ Lowlands Festival/ 18.08.2012

As a producer, DJ & label owner Cosmin Nicolae’s dedication to developing a rich and wholly personal artistic landscape provides the driving force behind one of dance music’s most unique & industrious individuals.

Opening the door on Hessle Audio over a decade ago - an outlet that has gone on to become a defining voice within electronic music in the 21st Century, Nicolae’s list of affiliations reads like a who’s who of top tier contemporary dance music record labels. Appearances on Amsterdam’s Rush Hour and Gerd Janson’s Running Back, as well as a brace of singles alongside LP’s Gordian and Simulat on the now defunct 50 Weapons - not to mention work for Semantica and Bleep, have cemented Cosmin TRG deep in the psyche of the ever shifting amoeba that is the dance music zeitgeist.

In many ways, what lies at the heart of Nicolae’s work - beyond the extraordinary pairing of high end sound design and club functionality, is an innate ability to bind his discography - to create a streamlined sonic vision without compromise, one that moves with purpose and vigour outwards to explore in depth structures that exist on the very periphery of House & Techno, Ambient & experimental electronics - but maintain a unique and recognisable finish. Few artists could boast a discography that marries 2016’s ubiquitous In Your Body, an anthemic spoken- word-meets-Tool-Techno leviathan released via Nicolae’s own club-focused Sportiv outlet, with Semnal - a gloriously executed LP of shifting, otherworldly Experimental music delivered under the artist’s given name via the Opal Tapes label.

Cult concept missive Hope This Finds You Well, Nicolae’s 2019 reflection on corporate culture furthers this same dichotomy - a stunning wide-angle Ambient LP on Fizic - the label operated by the artist as a home to more conceptual iterations, that followed hot on the footsteps of a remix for Bpitch founder Ellen Alien & the fourth instalment on Sportiv - both offerings heady club constructions in their own right.

On the road, both DJ sets and live performances mirror this healthy sentiment - with Nicolae as comfortable on main stages showcasing his take on hyper-modern propulsive Techno, as he is presenting the low slung avant-garde preoccupations of his more leftfield alias’. There’s the constant feeling that both these practices feed back into one another, and that from each respective vantage point, Cosmin TRG is able to make the kind of dynamic & intuitive artistic decisions that few can - keeping his work fresh & current without concession - ceding to his own desire to further his vision as a creator of sonic abstraction without losing sight of the dance floor.
