I know we say this almost every week, but for our next edition of Trommel InSession we have something very special for you. The moniker Respond/React might be new but it is comprised of three artists that are certainly not new to the scene. Artists Man/Ipulate, Massaï, and Lamalice will no doubt conjure up lengthy Sentaku parties helmed by their founders and regulars that have helped the Parisian / London based label and event series to flourish. The ethos of the triple trouble combo offers fresh perspective in the relationship between crowd, the music and the emotion that comes with hearing a new track at home and the effect that it has on the audience at a gig. 

The three have illustrious solo adventures and so the prospect of all three artists working together behind the decks is mouth-watering. Luckily for you this ethos was cemented in the live recording of their set for the French brothers Mates in Bordeaux. At the Sentaku showcase Man/Ipulate, Massaï, and Lamalice deftly switch between banging house, grinding basslines and insistent breaks all with a special synergy between them that resulted in this vibe heavy recording.

Respond/React (Massai, Man/Ipulate, Lamalice) - Trommel InSession 096

For our next InSession mix we present a live set from festival curator, label owner, and super talented live artist P.O. The aforementioned festival and label of the same name of Era.Ora couples together an energetic mix of sounds that go some way to define what P.O himself prides himself on. From his own releases on the likes of Griffe and 22Recordings his style is upfront, but always with a twist of the mystique.

His recording is a unique blend of rugged basslines, heavy hitting drums, a smattering of French Touch, and the odd curveball. This all combines to produce the desired effect, which is a sound palette that is all his own. This Corsican is quickly on the ascent and one listen to this tour de force will explain why his live sets are so highly prized.

KIDDY CASTLE @ PP 4 DEEPER VISION - 27/10/23

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.

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.

Poggio - Trommel InSession 125

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.
