From the deep landscapes of the Scottish Highlands to the thriving bustling centre of Glasgow’s electronic music scene, Lewis Lowe’s journey in music has been one of reconnection. As co-founder behind Redstone Press, the label he co-founded with lifelong friend Ethan Harfield (aka Pseudopolis) in 2017, Lowe has steadily been carving out a space for Scottish talent within the broader spectrum of UK dance music. First bonding in primary school, the pair lost touch for several years only to reconnect as teenagers whilst partying at some free parties in the Highlands.  This rekindled friendship evolved into what is Redstone Press today, with the pair launching the label as a platform to release Ethan’s music and to champion other homegrown artists. Over the past six years, Redstone Press has continued to grow into a respected imprint, releasing a mix of muscular broken-beat techno and industrial steppers to more longform reflective club excursions. With recent releases from the likes of Tammo Hesselink, Gesture, and Tano the label has taken its forward-thinking ethos of blending intricate rhythms with raw, emotive energy to the next level.

Truancy Sessions S02 E05: Lewis Lowe

The in-demand US DJ unfurls dubby, dance floor poetry.

Where does sentimentality fit on the dance floor? For Liv Klutse, AKA livwutang, the answer is everywhere. The New York-based DJ is guided by a deep desire to stir connection, finding themes and points of correspondence across an impressively broad range of sounds, tempos and eras. 

This emotional intuition lends Klutse's sets a depth few others can match. Her selections can seem unpredictable, rooted in an appreciation for feeling over genre—hard and soft sounds are carefully balanced with surrealism and bursts of nostalgia (for instance, the Lazy Dog bootleg edit of Everything But The Girl's "Tracey In My Room"). But as versatile as she is, a few signature traits colour her style, such as a love for dubwise music and rhythms from across the Black diaspora, alongside a refreshingly introspective energy that invites dancers to find moments of meditation—even during peak time. 

A former staffer at our New York office, Klutse has long merited an RA Podcast. Her slow-burning blends and mystical selections have graced near-enough every major festival and club out there, from Dekmantel and Sustain-Release to Nowadays, where she's been a resident since 2022. Despite this cross-continental touring schedule, she still plays plenty of grassroots venues—testament to her days with TUF collective and Orphan Radio in Seattle, as well as her enduring belief in the power of DIY, community-orientated dance music. 

"How did you come down off life?" James Massiah asks at the beginning of RA.975. Across nearly 90 minutes, Klutse's downright beautiful mix seeks answers to this question, reflecting on hedonism in times of political decay. She's in full-on dub mode, moving through meditative bassweight, glitchy house and flat-out weirdo techno with a deftness we've come to expect from one of the most promising, singular voices in dance music right now. She's got there all on her own terms—and we couldn't be prouder.

Richard Akingbehin - 8˚C

Welcoming the lovely Refuge Worldwide co-founder and dub-master @richard-akingbehin to the Animix series this week, with a beautiful journey of minimal house infused with his signature dub styles.

Clear in his DJ'ing, but also his work with @refugeworldwide, and his immaculately curated label, @kynant-records, Richard is an all-round classy selector, and a champion of community. Through his various outputs, his deep & considered knowledge and taste shines. 

Richard always impresses me with the diversity of moods he presents via his DJ'ing, hybrid collaborations with legend Tikiman, b2bs with other legends like livwutang, and his label - a diversity that's always strung together with his incredibly distinctive psychedelic, soothing dub formula. 

Thanks for the mix Richard <3
