Buttercup 001 – 'Overworked and Underpaid' / Coco Cobra

Love is the message in the latest episode from local legend @djluvyou! Playing like a personal ode to the dancefloor, the mix is overflowing with heavenly deep house classics and hints of early 90s prog and trance to get you feeling all the feels and ready to sweat! 

Some words on the mix with DJ Luv You:

Q. I noticed that you included a bunch of songs with lyrics about love throughout the mix which I’m guessing was no accident! Tell us a bit more about the theme you had in mind here, and what kind of feelings you were hoping to evoke?

A. I’ve always been attracted to the more joyful side of dance music and I think it just kinda happened in digging for records, as one does looking for a certain aesthetic of a label sticker or a particular artist. For me, the word ‘love’ just always seems catch my attention. I wanted to focus on that energy for this mix, something quite emotional and nostalgic while still maintaining that movement and euphoria about it that you just can’t help but move to!"

Q. What other inspiration did you draw upon when putting the mix together? Is there a particular sound, time period in dance music history or a memory of yours that connects all the different elements in one way or another? 

A. I wanted to create a bit of an origin story for myself. This 90s era of sound has really become an obsession and identity, it feels like the perfect link for me between the two other worlds of dance music that I love; The rare groove housey side and the new wave proggy electronic and trance influenced sound. You’ll find hints of both here in this mix.

I also just wanted to put as many of my favourite records into this mix for my own listening pleasure. When you're doing something for yourself first and foremost there’s a pureness to the way things flow together. This recording was just one of those improvised moments using a really lovely Condesa mixer and enjoying myself fully.

Q. Are there any records in the mix that are particularly close to your heart, and if so what’s the story behind them?

I feel like I rarely play a set without this record making an appearance haha, "When You Love Someone" by Daphne. Its versatility seems to fit any mood or space for me. Allowing me to move from disco into something more contemporary or as an emotive breath towards the end of a hot and heavy electronicy set.

Q. And finally, I see you’re on your way over to Europe at the end of the month. What do you have coming up over there that you’d like to tell us about?

A. Yes, super excited to be heading over till October for my first international tour, opening up with Kala Festival in Albania. Then a run of club shows and more summer festivals across France, Germany, Netherlands, UK and Bulgaria. Looking forward to skipping winter and enjoying the sun with what feels like every other naarm dj ;)

Few Genes - Bunden

We're live with a new podcast series in which I'll be presenting DJs and artists that I find inspiring, exciting or who I think deserve a platform they don't have (yet).

Kicking off things with one of my favorite producers of all times and a true underground hero - Venezuelan electro kingpin @daggatrx. Even though he stepped up into the limelight very recently, his debut EP came out just three years ago via Jensen Interceptor's International Chrome label, he already established himself as one of the genre's most versatile producers, seamlessly fusing genres like Electro, Raptor House, Funk Carioca, Breaks, and Techno. Currently he's producing at hyper speed, releasing a flurry of tracks, edits, remixes and collaborations, while at the same time touring relentlessly. 

This b2b was spontaneously recorded in a basement mid-July in Berlin that also happens to be @elmanao's studio - another artist you should follow. No tracklist, comment for track IDs!

Hyper Real Radio is the continuation of my what used to be my weekly radio show on national radio, reborn in form of a Telegram channel committed to sharing electronic music from all over the global underground. Its free and updated (near) daily: https://t.me/h_y_p_e_r_r_e_a_l

˚₊‧꒰ა “This Is How We Break Your Toxic Positivity” ໒꒱ ‧₊˚

Second compilation of a “This Is How We Break…” series focused on breaks and bass music to enlighten our emerging electronic scene from France and abroad.

Based on the free interpretation of the ‘breakbeat’ genre, the breadcrumb trail of this second compilation is the theme “from happy to dark” (or the other way) to celebrate the fluctuation of emotions whether positive or negative. Over-cultivated positivism implies the rejection and the covering up of negative emotions… This compilation is here to reminds you to live fully your emotions and only think about what’s best for you. It’s OK not to always look on the bright side of things. Be gentle to yourself.

DJ JM - Abnormal EP

Abnormal is the sound of DJ JM ratcheting it up a notch, both in production-value and musical creativity. The title itself stands as a compact explainer of DJ JM's constant sonic assignment – Abnormal consolidates years of JM's work to keep club music weird and unexpected. Retaining the chunky percussion and quick-stepping rhythms he built his name on, the EP also contains intricate, cleverly designed sound-beds, and extends the menacing electro-techno swagger DJ JM began exploring on his previous No Days Off and Squash EPs.

Preferring synths over samples, Abnormal is filled with sudden bursts of psychedelic melody, off-kilter audio-manipulations and bubbling acid-trip basslines. The tracks also have a subtle but distinctly Lithuanian edge, drawing influence from the iterative, morphing patterns of the folk symbols and insignia carved into the remains of ancient settlements near Vilnius.
'Syze' bounces melodic percussive riffs across an arpeggiated bassline, with synth flourishes and talking drums squeezed in between. 'Pepper' has DJ JM's trademark high-energy vocal chants and a thick, slamming bassline. The title track, 'Abnormal', is perhaps the most stripped back, building a weighty atmosphere through increasingly choppy perc stabs. 'Erazer' closes out the EP with ducking filtered pads and sliding scales through an industrial rhythm section. Each one stands as a "wtf was that?!" set highlight, a vortex of wild ideas in a club-primed package.

@rodmanmx

BC: https://ineffable.bandcamp.com

After the sentimental success of his debut "La Fragua," Mexican producer Rodman returns with the "Falcata EP," featuring six new productions for Ineffable.

The record's title comes from the name of an ancient sword, which is quite apt as the sharp sound-design & impressive perc work slices through the EP from start to finish. It fluctuates between moods, touching on the deeper, dubbed out & echoed sounds of Rodman's palette, and moving swiftly into complex rhythmic patterns that were definitely built with the club in mind.

About the mix: Recorded in December last year at the beloved Club 77 in Eora (Sydney).
