Misstress Barbara is an Italian artist living in Canada who is revisiting a classic techno track from her back catalogue, and along with her 2023 Rework, there are also new remixes by Coyu, Christian Smith, Paul Nazca and Stef Mendesidis.

"Effet Karma" was originally released in 2001 via Misstress Barbara's defunct record label Relentless, which is an imprint that evolved into her current record label Iturnem.

Those with a knowledge of techno's history will need little introduction to Misstress Barbara, who in the early '00s was one of the world's first female superstar DJs, consistently voted inside of DJ Mag's Top 100 poll. Two decades later, Misstress Barbara remains one of electronic music's most respected artists, and she boasts releases on labels ranging from Carl Cox's Intec to Christian Smith's Tronic.

On remix duty, Coyu is a Spanish artist who heads up the Suara record label that's a driving force in today's techno scene, and he has featured regularly on his prestigious imprint.

Christian Smith is another iconic veteran of the global techno scene, and he features a slamming remix in the style the Swedish artist has released via other imprints ranging from Adam Beyer's Drumcode to Alan Fitzpatrick's We Are The Brave.

Paul Nazca is a French artist who has previously collaborated on music with Misstress Barbara, and he provides a remix in the style he has featured on imprints such as Marco Bailey's MB Elektronics and Markantonio's AnalyticTrail.

Stef Mendesidis completes the package in the hypnotic style the Greek producer has released via labels such as Ben Klock's Klockwork and Cleric's Clergy.

Misstress Barbara's 2023 version of Effet Karma adds a beefed-up kick drum and thrashing ride cymbals to create a modernised version with vigorous energy. Coyu's remix of Effet Karma is a hardgroove version with flowing percussion. Christian Smith strips out the original's percussion to make room for Detroit-style stabs that complement the vocal sample. Paul Nazca works in a hypnotic lead synth, and Stef Mendesidis delivers a dystopian version with immersive atmosphere and weighty percussion. The original mix fuses looped tribal percussion with a French vocal sample that has seductive tones.

Does time stand still when traveling at the speed of light?
When you reach this state, in order for the light to maintain its speed, time would stop as it takes an infinite amount of time for light to reach 300 million meters.

‘Kronosphere’ is trying to define this phenomenon by reproducing the sensation of an outbursting zen state.
This is a frozen moment when everything is resonating in beautiful harmony.
The sounds are creating a sense of being transported through different sublayers of reality, resulting in a sonic voyage into the unknown depths of the psyche.

Naarm & Berlin-based agency Weaver has built a community of DJs, producers and performers across the globe. Working with its extensive roster, this compilation marks the agency's first foray into label territory.

Wretla's 'No Instructions' is a mark of the quality across the release. Bouncy garage at its core, with soulful vocals and a healthy heaping of bleeps to remind us that summer is only around the corner.

Overflowing with 17 tracks, this release is a snapshot of the unique energy that thrives on dancefloors, where boundary-pushing sounds come to life. 

"This release isn't just a showcase of talent; it's a celebration of the collective spirit that drives underground music forward," Weaver shared.

50% of profits from the release will be split evenly between Pay The Rent (Australia) and the MA’AN Development Centre (Gaza).

The digital-only release arrives on Bandcamp and streaming platforms October 17th.

SANSOUNI — Wasp [United Identities] 
Release Date: 16th December 2024
Format: Digital only

A fan of @sansouni's music since his track 'On' via the V/A Modern Intimacy Volume 2 in 2022, CARISTA invites the emerging producer, DJ and artist back into the far-reaching world of United Identities. The title track 'Wasp' opens on a warbling bassline, followed by a raw, left-field note of percussion and crispy vocals. It is lead by the khisba drum, known as zanbour ("wasp" in Arabic) which is widely used in traditional Iraqi music. On 'Park', SANSOUNI merges rugged drum'n'bass beats with dreamy pads, culminating in a driving yet emotional trip. The closing track 'Wa Al-Uyoon' is a beautiful blend of soaring, trance-tinted synthlines and urgent drums, punctuated by organic percussive textures and quick-fire vocal cuts. Sparking feelings of hope and joy but shaded with a melancholic hue, the EP showcases SANSOUNI's fluidity in balancing bright textures with misty, cinematic atmospheres.
