Packed with an abundance of futuristic frequencies, mix 252 comes by way of Freakenstein whose intergalactic blend of electro and booty has had dancefloors across the globe bouncing to his slamming sonic jams (including ours this summer at Dimensions 2021). Crisp electro snares, booty-shaking basslines and smooth vocoder melodies are the order of the day in this banging mix - enjoy.

The presented EP by Newa was created during pandemic times, in isolation, when artists worldwide had to give up their basic needs and look for new opportunities to express themselves in complete deprivation. A transformation into a physical vacuum was required to regain the balance—lost in the face of an existential dilemma. Each composition is an artistic embodiment of metamorphosis and temperance, a sonic manifestation of a continuous process, an improvisation with an arsenal as limited as people's actions under isolation. “Equilibrium” describes and discusses the universal issues for humankind arising from sociocultural and psychological contexts and does so in the language of music. With its rhythmic cadence and frequency components, this record acquires an almost tangible form that goes beyond all the limits of perception. The accompanying energy of sensations, cognitive processes, and new consciousness inspired by the discoveries transform into a single story of four tracks, where each carries a feeling of undisguised sublimation as the ultimate source of creativity.

The release explores the subject's relationship to the environment and how a modern soul interacts with large-scale cataclysms, of how one might confront the darkness and what will be one's armament in the face of the new (the latter in this case, not being derived from the old); How does the inevitable need for expression arise, amidst a chaotic storm behind unchanging behavior, and how is this storm reharmonized if the recipient body and mind belong to an artist? How is the balance achieved, and when is the equilibrium reached? These rhetorical questions are best thought through by listening to this record, as frequency is the leading instrument and minimalistic phrasing naturally follows the stream of consciousness.

The remix of “Equilibrium” belongs to Peachlyfe, a Danish musician known for their anarchist spirit, blending the rave rush with a drive of queer resistance to intense experiences. In the remix, the structural blueprint is strengthened with a gentle and meticulously measured interpretation; the care with which one artist approaches the story of another is clearly visible. Similar to Newa's personal experience, a middle ground between transformation and balance can also be noticed here.

“Equilibrium,” on the one hand, tells a very intimate, individual story and, on the other, echoes the challenging task this era has set for itself—the need for action and evolution despite the loneliness, emptiness, stillness, and emotional contention of the environment—all of this being a uniting force, bringing the listener into one big community; “Equilibrium” responds to a person's ability persisting into active development through a repetitive and monotonous context. Harmonious syncopes and airy fragmentation within the monumental framework are a metaphor for this, preparing not the destruction of an immovable internal constitution but for simultaneous change.

At the end of every year most labels and publications look back and reflect on what has come before, re-packaging old tracks together or making top ten lists. I’m always trying to find some big new records at the end of the year so I can go play something fresh, so I’d like to present the DIRTYBRD New Years Special. 

Here are seven new bangers for your holiday DJ sets. The tracks are all new & most of them are by new talents on the label. Fresh faces include veteran German producer David Keno, an all new act called Jaded, Sirus Hood from Paris, My Cat Snoop, Mikey V, Wood Holly & Sage Armstrong.  Of course we have a few guys who have been on the label before, Ardalan, Genghis Clan, and Nick Olivetti.

All the tracks work great in the club which was the main criteria for the compilation, no headphone b-sides here (although we still love those too!). Happy holidays to everyone.

Peace & Love, 
VonStroke
