P.H Signals 016 - Ben Rothes

2022 has arrived and our Signals series is back. Happy new year! The first mix of the year lands courtesy of Glasgow based DJ, Producer and Label Head, Gavelman.

Gavelman had a busy 2021. His highly reputable label, Lifeforms, seen 4 releases. Included in these 4 were 2 of his own works. A single and Public House favourite, Lady Justice, and a Dutch inspired 6 track Electro slammer, Future.

The other 2 releases came from Electro staple Ekman - a harsh and hard hitting drum machine workout - and Variant, dipping into fast paced experimental techno. 2021's output showed us how exciting and varied this label is, joining the dots between different soundscapes and genres, all the while keeping rawness and experimentalism as core elements between releases. Both Gavelman and Lifeforms have some serious output in the works for 2022.

As far as DJ'ing goes, we'll let this mix do the talking. Gavelman has described this as a 'legends mix'. An hour of artists and music he holds dear. Think Electro, The Hague and punked out drum machines. Seriously good stuff.

For Signals 18 we welcome Prague based Veteran Selector, Raphael Kosmos. 

Kosmos has been spinning records for almost 20 years. With an ear for the weird, his selections convey a knowledge and passion for music that runs deep.

When he's not playing records, he's selling them. Kosmos is part of the crew that run the Graffneck record store. The shelves are filled with electronic oddities, many of which appear in his own bag. 

Kosmos is the man behind new upstart Späti records. Their first release, by Houschyar, is a synth-driven work of art. We've got a keen eye on the label for any future releases.

This mix sees Kosmos dip into his record bag for an hour of Krautrock, Leftfield and wave. As hypnotic as it is mesmerising. This guy is a proper selector by any and every definition. Get on it.

For the 19th installment of Signals we welcome Berlin based Electro head,  Lazercat.

Lazercat is a DJ, producer and crazy cat lady. Growing up in Western Canada, she made her own way towards electronic music production while training as a classical violinist. She then began DJing many years later, inspired to take to the turntables after countless hours spent on Berlins infamous dancefloors.

With a penchant for all things overlooked and under-the-radar, Lazercat's sound draws from a variety of sonic and emotional landscapes; from acidic, extraterrestrial electro to neon-drenched 80s synth-funk - and everything in between.  

Lazercat has also been actively co-running the Dreams of Neon party and livestream series in recent years, with regular DJ sets broadcast on the iconic Intergalactic FM.

This mix sees an all vinyl assault of Electro firepower. Heavy hitters throughout.

Dora is a member of The X-Rust Organization and Podcast, where they showcase a number of different DJ's and styles. 

An hour of Electro records for your listening pleasure. 📡

Signals returns with 021 courtesy of rotterdam based industrialist, Acidic Male.

Acidic Male has an interest in industrial sounds, hypnotic drum patterns and experimental vocals. Having her performer name as a revenge title, she searches to “other” herself into the position of a poetic perpetrator. Her sounds have been described as “elegant industrial”, yet in her selections she attempts to showcase her love for genre-wide experimentalism.

A talented and unique producer, Acidic Male has been gaining recent attention for all the right reasons. A strong EP on Dead channel accompanied by a string of self released work, she is winning the ears of DJ's and labels far and wide. Look out for her upcoming record on Drug Cvltvres New York Haunted imprint. You can catch Acidic Male in the flesh at Conflux Festival this year. 

Enjoy an hour of beautifully harsh sonics.

For Signals 022 we welcome London based DJ, recording artist, Draconian Steps Label Head and all out Electro heavyweight, Chupacabras. 

Chupacabras is a recording artist originally from San Antonio, Texas. Although he's been involved in electronic music for many years, he's released only a handful of tracks. All of which are on some pretty serious imprints including Aperitif de la Mort, L.I.E.S, Marguerite, Zement & more. 

He has a forthcoming mini LP this year on the ever reliable Lifeforms as well as tracks for compilations on Italo Moderni and Sons of Traders, as well as Chris Mitchell’s Feral Colony. 

Chupacabras is also part of a duo called Circus of Death along side L.I.E.S label head Ron Morelli. As well as this, he also has 2 solo projects - Acid Freq and 110. 

Between all his different aliases, Chupacabras' signature sound lies somewhere between distorted, rough around the edges Electro, hard hitting acid and banging Techno. A sound which is reflected in this excellent hour. 

Link in Bio.

Signals 23 has landed courtesy of Polish Electro Queen, Charlie. 

Based in Kraków, Charlie runs the party Szum, where she joins the dots between icy Electro and euphoric Italo.

A talented and unique producer, Charlie has releases on labels such as Dom Trojqa, Mechatronica and a recent 7" on Ferry Lane Records - which includes a remix by none other than Italo Disco legend Flemming Dalum. Electronic music aside, Charlie is a skilled Pianist, and over the years has contributed work to both performances and movies. 

Enjoy this hour of what Charlie does best. Cold, inviting, ruthless euphoria throughout. One of our favourites yet.

For Signals 025 we welcome Cologne based oddball selector, Grischer. 

From trippy slow beats to fast syncope experiments, Grischerrs taste lies on the other side of easy going. Nevertheless, feeling the music has been at the forefront of his ethos and music  since 2010. Growing up between both nature and big cities inspired him to dig for the dynamic.

As a - somewhat excellent - producer, he has records on Rotterhague, Panal and Heap's vienna based cult imprint, Neubau. Keep an eye out for more releases coming very soon.

Sinals 28 is here. We welcome the legend that is Manasyt to our series for an hour of horror-induced Electro. 

Bulgarian dark mastermind MANASYt (Petar Tassev) has been rocking his own brand of Nurolektro since 2003. He’s responsible for a vast array of menacing titles on labels such as Touchin' Bass, Kommando 6, Musar and the infamous Bunker - along with about 40 others.
