The most interesting names breaking-through from the underground electronic music scene

Trommel: InSession

Ste Roberts with John Dimas - 15 March 2024

Renegade Season is perhaps one of the most active names in UKG and his discography and bandcamp profiles will seriously attest to this. From his regular salvo of dubplates and his indelible link to the inhumanly prolific Sky Joose, Renegade has created a mainline to the roots of UKG. Being an independent and self-sufficient vehicle for shining a light on the talents of Sky Jooce, Renegade Season’s goal is dedicated to unearthing the gems that he has tucked away in his locker and presenting them to the world. By doing so, Renegade Season uses the voice he has created via his Youtube channel and returns the power to the artist to help them harness the potential of their music and creative ideas.

All the tracks in the mix are produced by Sky Jooce and they are expertly stitched together by Renegade, we doubt there would be a DJ that would know these tracks better than he. Not allowing the groove to drop out for too long, this mix from Renegade is a blistering snapshot of where UKG has been and where it is headed with a new slant on the Garage sound with shadowy textures and murky undertones. These vibes are kept in check by the smile-inducing rhymes and insane bassline action throughout and some of these tracks have been taken from the upcoming SkyKap album which is going to drop in the near future. Not wishing to offer too much in the way of our usual fanfare regarding the mix, we have opted to take Renegade Season’s lead and let the music do the talking.

Renegade Season - Trommel InSession 123

An accomplished artist, Elias Sternin is a name on the rise. This Uruguayan has, in recent times, become a much more regular fixture around Europe and beyond. With releases for the likes of Cupula Records, Mung Records, LeMaia, and then there is also Elias’ own label Ratiug Recordings. With his sound coming straight from his home country which seems to specialise in acid drenched house and techno Elias is also a very skilled digger. The result of his digging sessions is a refined sound that really sets him a part once he takes control of the DJ booth.

Going straight for the jugular from the off, Elias utilises his full tool kit of raw sine wave synth lines, earthquake inducing basslines, and pitched vocals but there is always a slight curve ball in the percussion. This is where his digging skills and Urugyiuan roots come into play as, regardless of the ferocity of the electronics there is always a little something that is not expected. This is the x-factor that will continue to shine a light on his name. This mix for InSession series is a true testament to this rising star.

Parisian DJ, producer and label head Poggio is currently adding swathes of genre defining music to his artillery. From his deep rooted involvement in the French scene this artist has staked his name on the depth of his record collection and heights of his productions. As well as his own tracks, alongside Gabriel Belabbas, he has also now created a platform for others to shine by way of his Positive Future Music. Already at edition five which featured killer tracks from Juaan, Ramez, Plazeg, and his own co-produced hitter alongside Aline Umber, this explains what realms he maneuvers in. 

Having been on our radar for sometime, we thought it was high time he joined our InSession series and Poggio comes correct with an extract from his set at Bürro in Mainz, Germany. By now you should have spotted on our socials the trademark curved hangar style club that as well as boasting an impressive built in lighting rig offers sizzling dancefloor scenes on the regular. This night is clearly no different as Poggio quickly shifts through the gears pummeling the crowd with wave after wave of chest caving beats and outrageous acid basslines. As with all our InSession artists, Poggio is one to watch and to most definitely one to catch in action as soon as possible.

Canadian artists in underground music have managed to carve out a rather special enclave for themselves. One artist of this nature seems to be somewhat of a counterpoint to many genres that make up our current sonic landscape. That artist is Colin de la Plante aka The Mole. As a result of constant studio and live performance collaboration and a keen ability to unearth the best sounds from the cosmos, he has also produced some of our time's most noted musical highlights. Colin is a treasured name and no mistake. [continue reading at...https://trommelmusic.com/music/podcast/trommel-192-the-mole/]

His music, like magical energy, made people dance and smile with every track, but above all, it managed to create connections. These two hours of selection, personally chosen by Christopher, allow you to understand and recognize those unique sensations that only his music is able to convey.

020 - Sonja Moonear - Recorded live from fabric

Hackney born and bred artist Anna Wall has more than proved her chops way before her high profile appointment as fabric resident back in 2019. Her productions for a wide swathe of labels in recent years as well as her growing self made discography on her own labels The Bricks and Dream Theory command the utmost respect. The former imprint has been a constant source of dancefloor weaponry and has already delivered its eighth edition, much to the enjoyment of some of the most raucous dancefloors around. As well as penning outrageous hitters Anna is always a sure fire bet for her outstanding skills in the DJ booth and she has a massive summer schedule ahead of her that includes appearances at Houghton Festival, ION Festival, Junction 2, Madruga Festival, Baum Festival, Glastonbury, the huge FFRC x fabric 25 years event at OFF Week, and of course her beloved fabric residency.

There is a very good reason that her skills are in high demand and that is largely down to her deft record selections. A self confessed vinyl head of the highest order, her record bag always spans a finely curated cross section of techno, acid, crunchy breaks, and bass loaded hitters. So, it is with this wealth of wax knowledge that we welcome Anna Wall to our Insession series. Atmospheric breakbeats effortlessly bleed into one and other as she slowly dials up the pressure until it breaks into the euphoric electro gems that have become her calling card. Anna is a truly versatile artist that proves time again and again by the diverse lineups that she is welcomed into. If you haven't caught her in action yet, make it your goal this summer.

Berlin based, Norwegian export Alexander Skancke is in the process of rising to the top of a very large pile, and with his relatively short time in the game he impresses more and more with each passing week. From his party starting sets that cut a tongue-in-cheek line through minimal, house, and techno, he treads the boards between injecting fun back into DJ sets while offering up seriously good music. His label Quirk is a prime example of this ethos, having already reached the eleventh edition of his vinyl imprint he melds the party starting bangers with a highly informed ear that transfers so easily to the dancefloor it is clear why he is becoming such a well known face in Berlin and much further afield.

It is this notoriety that has served him very well and it is just one of these impressive club stop offs where we find his recording for our InSession series. Taking place at one of Berlin’s true holy grail venues Tresor, the extract from the set starts strong and continues to rise throughout this near 90 minute recording. True to form, his wide musical tastes, no doubt nurtured through his work at Bikini Wax, is laid bare from start to finish. Pitch black acid house, minimal classics, and garage flecked house are never too far from the uplifting house sound that peppers his creations. Alexander Skancke is most definitely a name to watch as his star continues to climb.
