Ancut -  Timeless Series #39

Catalognumber 23 – what else is to say? While we’re feeling the spirit of William S. Burroughs blessing this very vinyl-enigma, &ME went particularly mysterious ways to transcend the category ‘dance track’ for this one.
The meditation through bass had been the major discipline of some of his latest cuts, but what you’ll find on this A-side, one could certainly call the perfection of somnambulistic peaktime-fever. The way he’s kneading the lower frequencies, how he’s channeling the expansion and decay of bass must inevitably lead to some aroused moaning. Good vocal-selection, for that matter! Then there are those tension building synths and a staccato-frenzy in the break that might be the ultimate ecstasy-trigger of the season.
“Locust” on B comes in with some smoothly looped E-guitar-coolness, adding whispering hi-hats and a comparatively rich percussive architecture. But then again: rolling bass barrels like a signature and a defence breaking build up that’s ensued by liberating pressure compensation in mighty breaks. Two demonstrations of understated and sophisticated peaktime-emphasis, so to say. Or differently put: a flawless double-A-side.

This week on the podcast, a mix from friend of the festival and celebrated Cartulis resident Junki Inoue. Born in Tokyo but living in London since 2012, Junki's been an avid record collector from an early-age. Few have bags as deep, something shown by this mix, which happens to be an hour section of his set from Dimensions 2022. It's testament to the timeless sound he's cultivated that you'd never tell.

Catch Junki at Dimensions this summer, playing during Cartulis' showcase at Cosmos on the Saturday.

Our twelfth episode comes from none other than Marco Pellegrino aka Ancut. Marco runs the Discarded Gems label, but his connection with OTG stems from his incredibly dedicated work as the founder of Analogcut Mastering Studio, where he works as the main mastering engineer and lacquer cutter.  Needless to say, he is one of the central figures in our operation, a trusted friend who always keeps a low profile but delivers quality in his craft and music, both as a DJ and as a producer. This set was recorded live at the last Superluminal vs Discarded Gems event in Berlin.

Anthony Linell & Mattheis live at Draaimolen Festival 2024

At last year’s Opening Party at Unsound Kraków, DJ E (aka Chuquimamani-Condori) showcased their distinct hyper-charged sound. Narrowing it down to genres is pretty impossible, but there are fragments of Andean folk, cumbia and country music ballads, often carefully layered with a bunch of soundboard-effects. The result is a classic DJ E set. Many of the tracks played here were recently included in the almost 2-hour long collection Edits, which you can pick up on Chuquimamani-Condori’s Bandcamp page.

Having just celebrated six years in the game, Alien Communications has, in that time, delivered a headsy mix of electro and techno - fuelling countless parties, artist debuts, and a raft of top-tier releases. Regularly pushing the envelope with events like The Big Bang and a residency at The Lion & Lamb, AC’s booking policy has welcomed an array of heavy hitters, including Underground Resistance, Radioactive Man, DJ Stingray, Juan Atkins, Dopplereffekt and Jane Fitz - the list goes on.

Beyond exploring the far reaches of Detroit electro and techno, as well as showcasing the very best talent from the UK and Europe at his events, the Alien Communications label has become a creative home for the studio output of an exciting clutch of artists. From homegrown heroes such as Domenic Cappello, Ste Roberts, Polytunnel, Adam Curtain and Hardacre, to the expansive “Astral Projections” VA release, AC has made a clear statement of intent.

With Alien Communications’ star rising exponentially, we’ve been eagerly anticipating the UK artist’s turn on our InSessions mix series - and he hasn’t disappointed. Welding bomb-proof beats, outrageous acid lines, and fathoms-deep basslines to robotic aesthetics, this mix simultaneously looks back in time while fast-forwarding far into the future. To say the future is bright for Alien Communications would be an understatement, as he continues to weave his way across the world’s finest dancefloors.

The first thing you notice in Beau Beaumont’s Delayed with mix isn’t aggression or volume, but control. Each layer slots into place with a clarity that leaves no room for drift. It’s techno in high resolution - grooves stretched to their limit, shifts measured with care, a ride that never collapses under its own weight.

That clarity comes from experience. Years spent running one of the UK’s most forward-thinking parties, building an independent label Meine Nacht, and diving into modular synthesis have sharpened Beau’s ear for pacing and design. Her work ranges from NTS residencies to commissions for Nike and the WDR Studio for Electronic Music. Still, it’s this same multidisciplinary edge that you hear here, surgical mixing, grooves that never stagnate, and a sense of movement that feels both human and machine. This is propulsion without fatigue: a set built to carry you, wherever you are.

Hailing from Barcelona, Lis Sarocca is an artist very much on the rise and her ever growing discography will go some way to explain why. She has starred on standout releases from the likes of MAAI, Tresydos, Smallville, Chiwax, Shall Not Fade, a vintage Mobilee entry, and the excellent collab between Anna Walls’ The Bricks and System Error. 

A regular fixture at some of Europe and America’s finest parties, she has written a line under a fantastic summer with a lauded performance at this year’s Dimensions Festival. There is no sign of the Spaniard turning in for the year as she continues to light up dancefloors wherever she appears.

Her recording for our InSession series is testament to this and her sunny disposition shines through in this mix as she guides us through bass heavy, breaky goodness, dubby deep house, with stop offs in wiggly disco heaters and more than a few wonky stations along the way. 

Upcoming gigs -

Saudi selector and LYMM co-founder, Majid has become integral in the Middle East community. He has grown in tandem with cultural happenings in Saudi Arabia and further afield where appearances at the likes Club der Visionaere, Studio Stereo, Soundscapes, Fabrika Festival, and closer to home, the Beast House series are becoming the norm for Majid. 

Having performed at our last two Saudi editions alongside Beast House, Majid exemplified the deeper aspects of house and techno while still keeping things fresh. We couldn't wait to welcome him to our mix series and he has delivered a recording that doubles down on the impact of these live performances. Shimmering deep house bleeds effortlessly into dub flecked percussive numbers, and with the mix peppered with attitude soaked vocals this mix slaps as much at dawn as it does at dusk.

Moroccan artist Driss Bennis aka OCB has been a pivotal figure in the North African province and his influence along with key players has helped to elevate his country to lofty heights. The Casa Voyager founder has given a new meaning to the term Detroit electro and with it has given a new voice to the region. With releases on the perhaps the biggest Detroit label in Metroplex as well as Craigie Knowes, WARNING, each new release from Driss Beniss is an update in future music.

Italian artist Marco Pellegrino has grown to become a quite indispensable part of our community. Performing under the alias Ancut, he has carved out an enviable space for himself by way of his own Discarded Gems imprint and resulting DJ booking schedule. Based in Berlin, Marco is also in constant demand for mastering skills too and Analogcut is a very well known name in the underground and his name adorns many of our scenes’ vinyl artworks.

As you might expect from an artist of Ancut’s calibre and proven track record as a producer and mastering engineer, his recording for our InSession series is immaculately programmed. From the dreamlike intro that gradually melts away to reveal hypnotic thread that runs through much of the mix. Crispy percussion and a multi dimensional sound palette that feeds into the stream from a multitude of angles produces an intense and otherworldly experience. Soon getting up to speed Ancut shows why he is as revered as a DJ as he is an artist.

Owner and lynchpin of Berlin’s Elevate record store, Cinthie, has long cemented herself as a true house innovator. Her timeless, yet forward thinking approach to house music has propelled her in all manner of directions. From her first forays in the early 00’s, supporting EPs through the years, and clutch of supporting EPs for the likes of Beste Modus, Ground Service Records, and of course her own 803 Crystal Grooves. With a clutch of outstanding releases on Aus Music, it wasn't long before Cithie was tapped for an LP from Will Saul and her “Skylines City Lights”  longplayer was nothing short of her lauded.

By now, DJ Tjizza should be a name that you are very well acquainted with. The Mood Waves founder has always ensured that his addition to the underground house and techno scene is delivered with equal parts sincerity, humility, and above all else enjoyment. Since launching Mood Waves back in 2020, the Dutchman has gone on to launch several iterations of the Mood Waves universe with this culminating with the introduction of music and lifestyle platform Tanzform.

From humble beginnings attending off grid parties in Iran to holding down residencies at clubs such as Panoramabar and Robert Johnson, PARAMIDA has, over the past few decades, grown to become a barometer for high grade electronic music. With such a wide remit for the gems that she has at her disposal, PARAMIDA is an artist that is consistently moving and evolving. Having founded one of the most en vogue labels in Love On The Rocks and in doing so cemented a self belief that has stood her well in progressing through the ranks at a cosmic pace.
