NDYUKA PODCAST #12

NDYUKA RHYTHM

With the year 2021 coming to an end, here is my last NDYUKA podcast of the year. This mix is recorded with a rhythmic state of mind. Fast paced as usual but more emphasized to the deeper and sexy grooves. A nice mid day groovy techno set where the simplicity of the rhythmic swing and track selection is the key point of the whole mix.

NDYUKA RHYTHM

Nadsat returns to his own Catch Recordings with a single that comes with remixes from label friends nwo and Ste Roberts.

Nadsat is a quietly assured artist with an adventurous and accomplished sound. He has long been entrenched in electronic music and draws on those experiences when in the studio and DJ booth. He has held various residencies across the world and makes everything from acid to techno, rave to breaks.

Written while the world was in the midst of pandemic chaos, this new single was written with rave unity in mind. The superb 'Drum Memory' has raw, driving and consistent drums with a heart aching vocal adding emotive nostalgia and a nod to the 90’s rave scene. The soft pads add warmth and soul and field recordings make up the deft percussion and bring an all-important sense of humanism to the track.

UK mainstay Ste Roberts and Hypercolour head runs his own STE label. He makes no-frills, hugely effective club tracks that get played far and wide, and this remix is no different. His Tronic Drums version is a sleepy, spaced-out, and elastic cut built on bumping late-night rhythm. It's alien, futuristic, and charming all at once.
The second remix comes from fast-rising artist and Cead and Stress Records associate nwo. Already a regular at Leeds' finest parties and Catch's own showcases, he layers in spaced-out pads, buoyant jungle breaks and subtle throwback rave sounds to the original. It is both physically and emotionally potent.

This is another classy package of timeless electronic sounds from the Catch crew.

KETI - KOTI | MANSPASI DEY

Ketikoti translated from sranan tongo to english is broken chain and manspasi dey means emancipation day. A surinamese annual celebration on July 1st each year. 

July 1st 1863 (officially 1873) is when slavery was abolished in Surinam. A day where freedom of our ancestors was finally realized. Those who have suffered so much for us to live free now. 

Freedom and peace is something we kindly consider normal but even now in 2022 we have modern slavery of the uyguhrs in China. Thousands of migrant workers dead in Qatar for the world championship of football, Palestina who suffer from apartheid until this day and war in Ukraine which all of a sudden came really close. 

Freedom is something we are blessed with. We should not take this for granted and enjoy life as much as possible. Be kind and good to people around you, it might be a small thing for you to do but it can mean SO MUCH for others.

The always-cultured Catch Recordings taps into fresh new sounds from label head NADSAT plus Hardacre, Annie Errez, and Leoleoleo on the new Northern Lines EP. Between them, these new school UK tastemakers explore a forward-thinking mix of acid, techno, broken beat, and minimal to make for another classy EP.

First up is Hardacre, who last appeared on this label as part of a VA release in 2021.
His work exists at the intersection of myriad UK-centric sounds from breaks to rave to techno, all with a futuristic twist. He runs his own self-titled label and never compromises on sound. His 'Higher Level of Communication' is a punchy mix of sizzling acid lines and pristine
breakbeats. It has raw old-school energy but also artful synth craft layering in real emotion.

Then comes Nadsat aka Brett Osbourne, a producer known for his meticulous attention to detail and perfect sonic placement. He brings drama and drive to richly atmospheric and timeless tracks. His 'Crash 101' is an urgent cut that hurries you along on hunched but punchy kicks. Dusty drums are backlit by a meandering synth that brings a sense of mystery to this stripped-back bit of low-key techno excellence.

Leeds's Annie Errez is one of the UK's best-kept secrets - an accomplished DJ, Mint Club mainstay, and regal at Europe's most clued-up clubs as well as a producer who draws on those experiences to cook club-ready dynamite for labels like Mosaic and Strobewax. She �gets deep and gritty on the intriguing 'According to Daneeka.' It's a dusty, dubbed-out afterparty head twister with freaky synth sounds scattered about the mix over chugging drum funk.

Last of all is Manchester-based Leoleoleo who brings a utopian view to ethereal club bangers and pensive but uplifting rollers that have so far had support from the likes of Sasha and Optimo. Here he lays down hefty kicks in broken but funky patterns and drops optimistic synth sequences over the top. As the energy builds, string flurries add an extra rush of dopamine as you reach for the lasers on a strobe-lit dance floor.

Northern Lines is another high-quality dose of heady electronic sound.

Back with another Studio Series mix. The essence is like always; Deep, rolling and rhythmic.

Enjoy!

Rene Wise / THE STUDIO SERIES / 002

Nadsat aka Brett Osbourne is meticulous in what he does. The music he makes combines powerful drum grooves with the sort of details that draw you in deep. Each piece plays out like a set, with organic designs, found sounds and real-world recordings bringing each one to life in a way that captivates the mind as the body responds to the structure below. They come on his own Catch Recordings label and encapsulate the same heads-down, intimate atmospheres that he cooks up as a DJ in some of the world's most clued-up and compact clubs, from Mint Club, Leeds to Lion & Lamb, London and across the globe in Berlin, Ibiza and the US.

Osbourne has been deep in the scene for over 15 years. Before that, he spent his youngest days making mixtapes, experimenting with sound, and playing drums and guitar, which all feeds into his music-making process, as do his worldly travels. He has lived in Australia, Ibiza, Berlin and now London and picked up an array of sonic influences from those local scenes that he now distils into his own sound. In the DJ booths of Ibiza, Berlin, at Burning Man or Alfresco Festival he plays with energy levels, infusing his groovy techno with acid, breaks and broken beats to build the drama and keep dancers locked.

Listen to Nadsat tunes like ‘Only Human’ from the Music From The Left Behind V/A EP on Catch and you'll hear how he encapsulates his feelings across fresh rhythmic patterns and sleek drums using primarily analogue equipment. This lends each tune a dusty texture and realness that connects with real human emotion. Attention to detail is key for him - his ability to engineer tracks means they never sound overproduced or too polished, but instead had a subtle and ever-evolving narrative that never fails to deliver both physically and emotionally.

It's the same with the Catch label - every release is labour of love, from the carefully curated and always forward-thinking music by artists like Hardacre, Bobby O'Donnell, Leoleoleo, NWO, Ste Roberts and Annie Errez, and international names like IORI and Literon, to working closely with designers to put together an EP that looks and feels as good as it sounds. Next up is a fresh VA collection, the Northern Lines EP,  that showcases another collection of subversive electronic sounds including one of his own absorbing new trips.

In our all too shallow and throwaway society, Nadsat prides himself and his label on making a much deeper and more indelible impact.
