Description: My entry for the KVR one synth challenge #199 September 2025. Synth is RipplerX by Tiagolr. I used 6 instances of Rippler; the stock EQ and Bus Compressor on my DAW of choice (Renoise); and was inspired to create a kind of techno/drumnbass/lounge hybrid that I imagine might please Sentient Boiler Philip Jeffries from Twin Peaks The Return.

The mix here is quite heavy on the low end, masking a lot of the melodic elements. Perhaps partly a byproduct of the synth resonances, some balancing eq would have helped make this more easily listenable

The static fuzz and clicky percussive noises are really really cool.

It's as if I'm the waiting room of an extrasolar asteroid mining company's corporate headquarters.  I love how it's bringing me somewhere else.  Very unique and otherwordly!!

Twin Peaks was actually the first thing that came to mind when I heard it. I really like the rhythm. Even though there are a few minor weaknesses here and there in terms of the mixing and it perhaps lacks a bit of a highlight, it's not a bad song per se. I think a few subtle, crazy outbursts would fit in quite well to make the surreal atmosphere, which is actually well executed, even denser.

nice texture - feels like a soundtrack - waiting for a melody!

My 30 min contribution to JHUD's always excellent SENDSPAACE show. Took me several months to upload here, god knows why.

Big thanks to everyone whose music I used, everyone who listened, Jamie, NTS and bottom dwellers worldwide.

Ghost song - lost the source track so it remains permanently in a transitional state, which is cool. Makes me think of clouds

Final 15 - A Ghostly 15 Playlist Curated by Michael Cina

"Anyone that knows me, knows that my main passion is music. I spend all day listening to music at work and my vinyl collection of 16k pieces greets me when I get home. I knew about Ghostly International before they contacted me in the early 2000’s and we would write off and on. They used to send me big packages of white labeled vinyl, it was decadent.

Late 2007 I got a call from Ghostly asking if I was up for designing a new single for Dabrye. It was a dream come true and I feel like I found a friend who really understood me. I have had the distinct privilege to design over 100 covers for Ghostly, and that is only the half of it.

When they asked me to do a compilation, I was all about it. I wanted to do three or more compilations because I wanted to segment it up into different sections (Ghostly, SMM and Spectral). It is impossible to reduce the entire label to 15 tracks. Ghostly is dynamic, they don’t fit one sound, genre or idea.

So I approached it as a mixtape of sorts. I tried to find a common thread that spoke to me and create a mood around that idea. Some of my favorite tracks are not on here. JDSY 'Horizon Line' makes my head spin. Choir of Young Believers 'Paralyse' takes me to another place. There are so many more.

What you are hearing some songs that have spoken to me over the years in a distinct way. I don’t feel like they are obvious choices but they all are nothing short of amazing. I hope this compilation helps you see a different side of one of the best labels to ever do it." - Michael Cina

Absolutely fire showcase of St. Lucia’s Kuduro Soca or “Dennery Segment” sound, a local style notorious for slack lyrics and its hi-NRG pace, here served up spicy as fuck by one of the Caribbean island’s premiere DJs for Uganda’s Nyege Nyege Tapes.

Packing pure heat from the town of Dennery in St. Lucia’s Mabouya Valley, DJ Chengz’ mixtape extends an unmissable introduction to Dennery Segment, a fast and grimy offshoot of the Angola “Hard ass” style of Kurudo that’s been banned in the region for its blend of salacious lyrics and rave-inciting rhythms. Also incorporating strong influence from Zouk and Lucian drums, Dennery Segment is a super strong example of punkishly road level party music from the Afro-Caribbean diaspora that highlights the pronounced, technoid Portuguese accent dominating global dancefloor dialogues right now.

Catching 67 minutes of rudely stripped down drum loops and hooks locked with MCs chatting sexually charged filth in Kwéyòl (Saint Lucian Creole), the mix arguably recalls the energy of Carnival as much as the grime and Soca that went into UKF, and bristles with the electric rawness of early Marfox and classic Príncipe. But the defining feature is really the raunchy lyrical content, working in a long tradition of XXX-rated Soca styles but with a bang up-to-the-second sense of economy and directness touching on everything from alcohol problems to “Sex like spaghetti”, and galvanised by the jabbing, gruffly rhythmelodic urgency of the productions.

Little known beyond the region, perhaps aside from diaspora carnivals in US and EU, the infectious percolations of Dennery Segment are bound to incite fervent reactions with all discerning dancers and listeners who love it as rugged and rawly stylish as it comes. DJ Chengz’ expertly selected and blended mixtape is the ideal entry point to Kuduro’s latest mutation for anyone with hips and ears attuned to thrilling new music from the tropics.
