FADER Mix: Tycho

Long-time Allergy Season friend and favorite Davis Galvin teams up with Physical Therapy for their first collaboration, Sugaring. Both artists are known for their prolific output, and Sugaring finds them at their most stripped back. A syrupy sweet ear-worm melody slowly pours out over elastic drums and healthy subs.

Wisdom Teeth co-founder Facta steps up for a remix of Sugaring. Cutting the carbs, Facta further reduces the track into moody, textured dub techno.

Physical Therapy & Davis Galvin - Sugaring (Facta Dub)

Following up on his much acclaimed debut album ‘Opal’ released in 2022, Batu heads into a new year introducing A Long Strange Dream : a new imprint dedicated to his spontaneous musical explorations, conceived with the aim to follow curiosities and share his own music in a back-to-basics and spontaneous fashion.

The inaugural release « For Spirits » is packed with some of the Bristol based producer’s most psychedelic dancefloor studies to date. Flowing seamlessly as a whole piece, this long-form EP showcases Batu’s versatile and deep personal sound, as well as a riveting talent for electronic experiments ranging from trance-inducing ambient to peak-time techno wreckage.

Striding into the twentieth entry in our humble mix series, we're beyond honoured to host the mighty @unspecified-enemies with an hour-long masterclass of machine funk that lays out some of the dancefloor influences behind the recent Romance In The Age Of Adaptive Feedback EP on @nmbrs .

Detroit fiends take heed for there's plenty of Motor City heat contained within, but also jungle magic from Source Direct, modernist dubwise abstraction from Topdown Dialectic and blown out ambience from Seefeel.

IOMIX020 // Unspecified Enemies

Impérieux debuts on Hessle Audio with the Fena EP, an immersive collection of 4 tracks defined by his unpredictable and varied sonic palette. Drawing on a heritage that threads through Turkey, Greece and his home city of Kırcaali in Bulgaria, Alper Durmush channels a turbulent year in which six months of creative stillness ignited unexpectedly into an explosive burst of musical ideas.

"Fena is a word my Mum used to call me as a kid" recounts Durmush on the title track. "The name comes from Turkish, but with a Balkan twist, it means a mischievous rascal - wild, unpredictable, a bit too much at times". This restless energy is perfectly captured with jittering interferance and snarling sawtooth synths bursting through the mix, threatening to overwhelm the speakers and sending sound engineers running for cover. 'Sickomode' encapsulates the push-pull emotional sensibility of the EP, with confidence and meloncholy rotating, shifting, and giving way to each other.

'Saat' is an attempt to recreate a track based solely on a surreal description, relayed by a veteran of the rave scene in his home town - "This guy told me about a festival in the woods back in the early 2000s, where someone played a track with dogs barking in the break - the volume rising constantly." The initial dissonance of its detuned lead releases into a euphoric rush of melody, a combination which is becoming something of a producer trademark. The EP closes with the quiet, unwavering warmth of 'Cawuso', a nickname for a person that the artist met last year. "This very special person showered me with kindness and purity. It almost felt unreal, so I decided to dedicate this track to them."

Thick Air (Loidis Reconfiguration)

Soreab continues his rapid ascent through the underground with Ziran, a singular, undeniably seminal collection of richly atmospheric, endlessly swirling, thunderous bass and techno compositions that explode through the lithosphere like a fire fountain and find their home on Of Paradise.

Comprising four original tracks, including collaborations with Montréal-based artist SIM and Serbian producer Feloneezy, Ziran sees the London-based artist elevate his craft, drawing on his refined approach to sound design and sonic clarity to deliver a spacious, hypnotic, and fully immersive label debut, one that presents an altered sense of human nature that cannot be reached by words.
