@volte_face_bleed i remixed your song a sped up version🔥

This week's animix comes from the incredible duo, Atrice (@atricemiras) - a mystical pairing who are part of a pool of insanely talented artists in the small Central European state, Switzerland -  there is a seemingly bursting ratio of talent per capita in this country!.

Drawing inspiration from everyday encounters and digital overstimulation, Atrice's music is refreshing, unique and modern - idm, experimental & bass driven - it somehow also sits perfectly amongst the class & purity of old school & solidified genres like dub, bass, techno - which is seen in their releases on labels like Illian Tape. 

On top of their productions and live sets, Lino & Pablo extend their craft with their on theme DJ'ing - always presenting new & exciting.. and always making perfect sense. For their animix, a beautiful journey through dub and beyond. 

Thanks so much for the mix Lino & Pablo <3

Animix One Hundred & Eighty One: Atrice

Cio D’Or hardly requires an introduction, having long stood as both a pillar of our scene and a source of inspiration for so many. Over the course of her singular and decades-spanning career, the Cologne-based artist has cultivated a universe of sound entirely her own, immediately recognizable yet endlessly evolving much like the work of her contemporaries and collaborators Mike Parker and Donato Dozzy. To experience Cio’s music is to follow a throughline that traces the complex history of contemporary techno in a single gesture, compelled by the vast unknown and the primordial familiar in equal measure. Recalling the blurred realism of Richter’s photo-paintings or the timeless intricacy of Bach’s fugues, Cio’s self-contained sonic world delicately reframes our own precious lifecycle, a reflection revealed through its elegant and subtractive minimalism.

In collaboration with our friends at Mostra, I’m honored to share a selection from Cio D’Or’s set performed at this year’s edition of the Barcelona-based festival, a sublime triumph from a scholar of sound.

Sure Thing Mix 146: Cio D'Or

Ilya Semashkevich is a Belarusian-Polish composer, sound engineer, and multidisciplinary artist born in 1997 in Brest. His practice merges electronic and acoustic composition, live performance, improvisation, and visual expression. With a background in jazz, sound production, and experimental music, he works across genres such as ambient, idm, trance, house, and contemporary classical. His approach treats sound as both structure and form, a tool for perception, memory, and artistic thinking. Influenced by lo-fi aesthetics, minimalism, and sonic spatiality, Semashkevich explores the concept of “Imaginative Mixing”, aural equivalents of visual composition.

Ilya had to say the following about this live-recording: "For me, this live performance became a release of accumulated thoughts about home life and the art of “dirty listening.”
Life runs, flows, flies, crawls, stands still.
And I sit, walk, float, watch.
In hot or frosty, gray or yellow days - coziness makes me stronger.
Listening to this recording on a proper sound system will, of course, be great, but even through your phone speakers, you won’t lose its essence."

LUBRIKATE YOUR LIVING ROOM
Episode 3 -‘Moist Philosopher’ by S. Ruston

WORDS FROM S. RUSTON
A mix of artists I’ve admired for a minute, artists I’ve just discovered, clever friends doing bits, lighting a candle for lost comrades, thoughts on a genocide, small moments of joy, long lost lovers, soothing the nervous system. A prayer.

WORDS FROM CASPER
It’s an honour to welcome the super-talented Sophie to Lubrikate Your Living Room, and they've evidently gone the extra mile to curate a sonically rich and emotional journey for us. We were recently brought together by the passing of a dearly departed friend and fellow rave traveller, Peter Kirk (AKA The Outlaws) and the subsequent ‘megamorial’ that we collectively threw in his honour. This past week, we travelled together en masse to the Birkenhead Day Of The Dead to lay a brick in the KLF’s People’s Pyramid in his honour. We'd like to dedicate this mix to his memory, and invite you to seek solace in the beautifully contemplative mood the mix evokes.

💦LYLR 3💦 Moist Philosopher by S Ruston

Erika's mid-morning set from 6 - 7:30 at No Way Back, May 25, 2025, Day 2 of Return to the Source at Tangent, Detroit. Directly after BMG and right before Derek Plaslaiko.

"It’s a whirlwind experience throwing a party *and* performing at it. At No Way Back, the only thing that works for me is to use the energy of the crowd to find my sonic direction. The room was incredibly dialed in, and the focus on the floor was immense, this is unlike any experience on any other floor around the world."

Io sono Rosa Ricci is the origin story of Rosa, a girl from Naples whose life collapses after her father’s violent disappearance. Kidnapped and forced into a world of danger and betrayal, Rosa finds an unexpected inner strength that transforms her into the fierce figure we meet in Mare Fuori.

The soundtrack features the distinctive sound of Paolo Baldini DubFiles, whose deep dub rhythms, atmospheric basslines and cinematic textures amplify Rosa’s emotional journey.
