Spotted is the Guerrilla Bizarre mix series dedicated to underlooked selectors from all over the world who we think deserve more attention and support. The series will not be bound to any style or genre, our picks will focus on their quality and give complete freedom of expression.

Ukraine's talent Roma Khropko has been killing it in the studio lately, with a number of incredible releases on different outputs including labels like H24 Musique, Roof Records, Club Vision, Quinoa, or Genie In A Bottle. As this recording demonstrates, his mix output does not different - in this hour for Guerrilla Bizarre he provides an enthralling selection, lingering towards the realm of best groove-powered techno and electro.

You will probably recognise the name Clarian as one half of former synth pop leaning duo Footprintz. The Canadian has now stepped out on his own, and has released well-received solo EPs on Vision quest, Hot Creations and Turbo that saw him delve even deeper into a melancholic world of experimental house music.

As someone who learnt guitar and piano from a young age, Clarian’s music is very much alive and rich with real melody and feeling and that is once again the case on his debut EP for Canada’s My Favorite Robot Records.

Up first is the title track, a truly magical affair laced up with dangling harmonies, glowing percussive patterns and loopy melodies that suspend you in a huge open chamber and pleasure your soul as much as direct your feet. Musical, synth laden and beautiful tech like this doesn’t come along very often.

Next up is ‘Unrest’, another heavenly and super sensitive bit of richly melodic and vastly airy music. Hand claps, trilling keys and sweeping synths all colour an expansive deep house groove with real charm, wit and emotion.

Lastly, Clarian teams up with upcoming Miami based producer Uchi whose affinity for the dark &dreamy is on show for ‘Floating in the Wind’. It’s a sombre broken beat affair that has glowing pads backing sharp percussion and undulating drums and perfectly personifies the uplifting and intense mood of the dancefloor; a standout bit of work from these North American producers. 

This EP confirms Clarian to be very much out on his own in terms of the spirituality and artistry of the music he makes.

HOSH is excited to announce a new concept for his fryhide label. Called INSTANT fryhide, it will see one special, much talked about track get an instant release with no promo, premiers or press announcements in advance. There will be no schedule for releases and it will see music put out as fast as possible whenever there is a track that suits the concept. The first one comes from ARTBAT aka Ukrainian pair Artur and Batish. Says HOSH himself… "As you know fryhide comes from the German word 'Freiheit' meaning 'freedom'. With INSTANT fryhide we go a step further and really want to have this freedom of releasing whenever we feel like. Away from the classic way of releasing with long schedules and special timeframes and having to wait for the right b-side etc, we believe a strong track doesn't need that nowadays. As these tracks have already been tested on the road and social media probably did the rest… they are good to go immediately." This new INSTANT project is about one moment, one strong track, no remixes, no compromises and no nonsense. This first release is a strong one and marks the start of an exciting and innovative new way of releasing music.
