"No Way Back is a big part of my life — the music, the people, the ethos, the vibe. Being asked to play was the ultimate honor, and I knew I needed to share something focused and personal. There are many great records out in the world, but only a handful of artists who produce nothing *but* great records. Norm Chambers is one of them. There are oceans of texture, color, and depth within each release. The decision to dive deep and showcase only his music across two hours was obvious from the start. I can close my eyes and imagine these tracks blaring across Tangent Gallery and think ‘This is something the world needs to hear.’ Endless gratitude to the Interdimensional Transmissions crew, Norm, and all the amazing people I’m excited to reunite with this May."

Grandma's Handbag [Just One Last Rummage]

Today, hyperconected communities, AI-driven processes, quantum computer clusters and socio-cultural progress share their time and space with ghosts of the past, geopolitical spasms and gestures of profound violence. In a time when we seek new definitions, what constitutes a territory? What does a map show/ explain? What are we and what are the boundaries of who we want to be?

Romanian-born, Berlin-based Cosmin Nicolae and Simina Oprescu ask questions of a diasporic tone, in a sonorous quest to map out issues and entertain reflection. Australian-born, Berlin-based artist Michael Tan tackles norms using generative, traditional and emerging technologies providing the visual component of the Map x Territory experience. 

Simina Oprescu is a composer and multidisciplinary artist from Bucharest, Romania. She graduated the Dynamic Image and Photography Department at the Bucharest National University of Arts and studied at the department of acousmatic composition at the Royal Conservatory of Mons (Belgium) for one year. She is currently residing in Berlin, continuing her studies at the UdK’s M.A - Sound Studies and Sonic Arts.

Cosmin Nicolae is an anti-disciplinary artist working with image, sound, text to produce works of intimate reflection at the intersection of autoethnography, psychogeography and possible futures. Composes for film, dance, theater, installations. Projects with Teatro Antico di Siracusa, Staatsballet Berlin, Gap x Balenciaga.

As the co-founder of Seattle's secondnature (@secondnatureseattle) collective, Eddie Lee's influence on the North American techno scene is difficult to understate. Yet as the group's most elusive member, he rarely steps into the limelight despite his well-told reputation as a fantastic DJ and curator.

Captured live at secondnature's 5 Year Anniversary celebration, this is Eddie's first available recording in over five years, and we're excited to share it with you. Like the fury of a long-dormant volcano, it bursts forth with surprising and breathtaking intensity. Prepare to be swept off your feet.

Sure Thing Mix 68: Eddie Lee (secondnature)

Versalife - Live In Los Angeles at RR(27/12/19)

"Given that the interview had quite a few questions reflecting on different moments in my musical trajectory, I wanted to share something that matched with that. This is a mix I made some time ago, but never did anything with. It is a very understated and simple mix that is really focused on the tracks themselves. Most of the music I selected has been with me for a long time and has meaning for me. The mix is called ‘safe harbour’; it is meant for a time of rest, a period to reflect on what has happened, to think about what has changed and what remains constant. It was composed in a more deliberate fashion, seeking to distil a specific set of feelings. The mix is one for late at nights, when time fades away."

Mantissa Mix Series

Mantissa Mix 146: Chris SSG

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.
