WHYPEOPLEDANCE WEEEK #27

🛒 https://ransom-note-records.lnk.to/Control-RichardFearlessRemix

Hot on the heels of the acclaimed Tears Maker Chant 12” LP, illustrious French Electronic duo Froid Dub are back on Ransom Note Records with an interstellar remix package, with a little something special for all occasions on this colossal record. Slip into something comfortable and sit back.

Opening proceedings, Mr Richard Fearless starts us off with a bang with his remix of Control. Or, indeed, a warp. Bubbly Dubby bass abound, frenetic, IDM-esque beats skip along underneath the low end pummelling before giving way to luxuriant chord progressions. A perfect balance of light and shade, this is a weapons grade banger.

Tracklist:

1. FROID DUB - Control (Richard Fearless Remix)
2. FROID DUB - Digital Pond (Lena Willikens Remix)
3. FROID DUB - On the Nose (Zillas on Acid Remix)
4. FROID DUB - Tears Maker (Timothy Clerkin Remix)
5. FROID DUB - Just One (Strange Affair Remix)
6. FROID DUB - Tears Maker (Vacant Heads Remix)
7. FROID DUB - Terri's Dub (Rainy Terrace Dub by Tolouse Low Trax)

A2 Theo BR - Align (Drum First Mix) 
A3 Ramu - You Know All This 
B1 Remotif - Wham Bam Swirler Mentality
B2 Levan Grdzelidze - Black Boat

PREMIERE: Don:Benito - Slow Ritual Entrance [Underwater Audio Dynamics]

https://soundcloud.com/jogaiila: This mix for Whypeopledance is more than a selection — it’s a slow-burning story. I began from a place of introspection: deep, hypnotic textures that evoke the sensation of thoughts forming in the dark. As the mix unfolds, it drifts toward movement, where rhythm sharpens, and the body starts to listen.

I wanted to explore how technical precision can be a canvas for emotion, how styles can dissolve into one another without losing their weight. For me, it’s about holding focus — both mine and yours — and letting the mix carry us somewhere real.

Jogaila is a DJ who treats mixing like storytelling — patient, precise, and emotionally tuned. With roots deep in the underground, his sets move with intention: from hypnotic introspection to high-pressure groove. A craftsman of flow, he blends styles not to show range, but to guide attention — to create one focused, evolving state of mind.

Never chasing hype, Jogaila moves at his own pace. Years behind the decks have shaped a sound that’s thoughtful, physical, and quietly intense — a reflection of someone who listens as much as he plays.

"You Never Know" is Frank Wodorost's debut album, featuring 10 tracks exploring the tension between processed and raw emotions. Hope collides with fear, and the rush of life confronts nihilistic doubt. The sound blends romantic whispers, enigmatic intonations, processed guitars, melancholic synths, and desperate screams.

PREMIERE: Frank Wodorost - Detained [Self-Released]

Sledgehammer, the new release by Berlin-based XTR HUMAN, blends industrial EBM, rave, and hard techno into a sound of raw physicality and industrial power. Relentless rhythms, hammering beats, and metallic textures forge a brutal dancefloor weapon. This release turns pure aggression into kinetic muscle music – a soundtrack for dancing with iron in hand.

The release is accompanied by a video featuring Eddie Dark, who is summoned by XTR HUMAN to master the art of sledgehammer golf in the industrial wastelands of Berlin.

Featuring remixes by Dancing Plague, Personal Offence, and Kris Baha, Sledgehammer drops July 18 via Wie Ein Gott Records.

Tracklist:

01. XTR HUMAN - Sledgehammer
02. XTR HUMAN - Sledgehammer (Dancing Plague Remix)
03. XTR HUMAN - Sledgehammer (Personal Offence Remix)
04. XTR HUMAN - Sledgehammer (Kris Baha Remix)
