A word from Jamie...

Proto dance and (out of) body music for the bad people of Wrong Party - a taste of things to come on the 27th.

Certain parties leave an impression and playing Wrong Party last Christmas did that for me - they are a very up-for-it and open-minded crowd, a combination to be highly treasured!

They aren’t house, they aren’t techno, they aren’t disco - they are all the cracks in-between where the Wrong ’Uns like to have their fun. Safe to say I’m very much looking forward to playing at the Xmas Perineum Xtravaganza again - see you on December 27th.

https://soundcloud.com/muto-masashi: This mix is dancefloor oriented and all of the tunes in the mix are what I am playing heavily lately. I enjoyed creating this with different tastes sprinkled all over, yet keeping my favorite obscure mood.

Next up we are delighted to have London based music aficionado and friend of the label Johnny Aux for mix #110. For those living under a rock, Johnny is a member of Paranoid London, Sworn Virgins, Decius and the rest... which we won't go into 😎 very little introduction required.

The recording, taken from our Kutika record release party at Kristina Records is a dubbed out space exploration, seamlessly blended throughout with hints of Johnny's signature acid sound creeping in towards the end.

No Weapon Is Absolute by Cosmo Vitelli - January 10th 24

Break Mode: It is a mix where the tracks aren’t easy to describe but are easy to move to and sound familiar nonetheless. Experimental, dub-inspired psychedelic dance music with a couple of Break Mode productions laced in.

In the sprawling, rain-soaked expanse of Portland, Oregon, Break Mode emerges as a sonic alchemist, illuminating the musical landscape with intricate tapestries of sound that defy conventional boundaries diving deep into the essence of musicality, exploring a spectrum ranging from the hypnotic cadence of dub and trip hop to the enigmatic textures of kraut-rock, left-field disco, and the pulsating beats of electro.

Ceaselessly navigating sonic landscapes Break Mode’s compositions, such as "Wash One" and "Stabs," transcend mere creations, evolving into profound experiences that delve into the core of human emotion. Tracks like "Bob the Dub" and "Banana Cabana," adorned with dreamy sun-soaked saxophone lines, offer listeners a tranquil escape, inviting them to unwind on the beach longside the ocean’s trance-inducing waves.

Break Mode's DJ mixes embark on rhythmic odysseys and mind-bending journeys, meticulously crafted for psychedelic dancefloors. They serve as a testament to his unparalleled ability to manipulate emotions through sound, all the while maintaining a profound understanding of the intricate interplay between these emotions and rhythm.

Stay tuned for Break Mode upcoming original compositions, remixes, and DJ mixes, promising an enthralling continuation of his sonic journey. Break Mode aka Gumar continuously works on these endeavors as well as side projects Wormbox and Freak Out! while also throwing events and managing the Bed of Roses label/collective.

https://soundcloud.com/elliotholt: This mix contains a lot of new music I love at the moment as well as a couple of older favorites. I did my best to include a range of sounds to encapsulate the way I would typically approach an all-night set. Starting out ambient and building the tempo throughout, with a balance of deep, dark, light and euphoric energies.

Elliot is the founder of truelove. – a Leeds-based, forward-thinking club night and mix series.

Over the past 7 years, they have frequently invited guests who rarely make appearances in the city, whilst providing a platform for emerging artists who share a like-minded view of musical expression.

Elliot also hosts a residency on alto radio and draws music from a diverse sonic palette in his sets. He is a patient DJ who allows records of their time to breathe, equally as adept at telling a story through a well-crafted warm-up or a euphoric, peak time offering.

https://soundcloud.com/dmnkandre: One of my primary goals when DJing is to create a hypnotic atmosphere where people can lose themselves and start a journey in their head while dancing alongside others in the same room. With my LAYER mix, I wanted to manifest this and specifically chose music that I've played in warm-up sets over the last few years. By the end of the two hours, you should feel ready for a good dose of peak-time club music.

Dominik André is an active force in the Zurich music scene – as a DJ and with his genre-busting label Subject To Restrictions Discs. He is known for his unconventional selection and for creating deep and transcendent as well as ecstatic moments on dancefloors of Festivals and Clubs.

A decade on, a wide-scope vision has crystallized that blurs the lines of dance music. Always attracted by the weird and the unknown, Dominik André blends quirky techno with mutant trance, always immersed in a Wave and post-punk-inspired aesthetic.

As former resident at Club Zukunft, now regularly seen at Kauz Club, Kasheme and Stereo in his hometown of Zurich, he also got recognised outside the city. This has taken him to clubs such as Motel Campo in Geneva, Arkaoda in Istanbul, Astron in Athens, Klub Kegelbahn in Lucerne and to festivals like Am Bach, Lethargy, Electrosanne or Montreux Jazz.

He also shares his broad musical understanding on radio stations around the world. He currently hosts the monthly radio show Murky Rhythms Collide on Radio Raheem in Milan and has made guest appearances on radio stations including Rinse FM in London, Kiosk Radio in Brussels and the much-missed Red Light Radio in Amsterdam.

Besides his DJ career, Dominik André has a reputation for learning about and documenting electronic music and its scenes as a journalist and publicist. When he's not DJing, he takes care of the creative and administrative direction of his label Subject To Restrictions Discs. With more than 20 releases the label has established itself internationally as a place for 80s- and 90s-influenced music with cross-genre aspirations.

https://soundcloud.com/helga_s: This mix contains tracks and sounds that I prefer at the moment. In the mix I wanted to reflect a deep dive into house and techno sound and at the same time convey the atmosphere of dance reigning on the dance floor.

Helga - DJ with several roles in the music industry. Co-founder of the Estetika label, curator of the WOX project aimed at promoting female producers and DJs. 

Mixing different genres, Helga tries to take the listener on a musical journey with a predominance of house groove, breakbeat and trance, making it impossible to identify one dominant style.

"I recorded this set by going through the steps I usually play in a DJ set. Starting with laid-back groovy rhythms at 120 BPM that allow for easing into a set early in the evening. This first part is heavily influenced by South American artists and labels, such as Ademarr, Theus Mago, and Tierra de Ovnis. The set evolves in the final part towards more club-oriented tracks, evoking late-night vibes and higher BPMs."

https://soundcloud.com/marcpinol & https://soundcloud.com/hugo-capablanca: This mix was recorded live at Zurich's long-lasting, true iconoclast event series, Spezialmaterial, currently being solely programmed by decades in the business, connoisseur curator Cio Assereto, and holding the longest residence known at iconic Swiss club Zukunft. Usually a slot reserved for nothing short of legendary figures like thee one and only Andrew Weatherall (their most regular guest) or Optimo (their second most?), an open-to-end set at Spezialmaterial is certainly not for everyone. A journey into the weirder dark corners of club music? An energetic yet hypnotic psychedelic trip? We'll let you be the judges of that. It is certainly 100% C.P.I. at its essence. Dive in with an open mind and ye shall be rewarded.

C.P.I. is the collaborative effort from long-time Hivern Discs operative Marc Piñol, a staple in Barcelona’s underground electronic scene and one of its most revered DJs, and Berlin-based artist, DJ and self proclaimed dilettante, Hugo Capablanca who runs his somewhat iconic label(s) Discos/ Ediciones Capablanca.

Bound by a shared love of drone luminaries, ’80s electronica experimentalists, early acid house adopters, mutant techno and forward-thinking industrial sounds, the duo wrote their first Ep El Tunel/ Proceso in a whirlwind and, released on 2015 on John Talabot’s imprint, positioned themselves among the most talked club acts of the moment, earning both press and public acclaim with an innovative blend of their influences and modern production techniques that became easily distinguishable.

In 2018 their sophomore Ep Meine Hand is released. That same year C.P.I. receive the prestigious RTF Foundation composer’s grant and work for months in what consolidates in their debut album, Alianza.
Released on 2020 to wide critical acclaim, the LP featured Anna Homler, Veronica Vasicka and Spacemen 3 members, among others, and represented a pivotal shift in the duo’s creative output, leaving aside dancefloor concerns towards a fully immersive sound experience.

On May 2021 C.P.I. performed their first-ever live show in Barcelona deconstructing Alianza into a dark ambient maelstrom. Ambient Blackout, the live recording of the show, released end of 2023 on Ediciones Capablanca.
