x² CHAPTER II  -  SCOPED + HANNA. K

Pain Management welcomes London cult favourite DJ ojo, who arrives on the label with a hazy three tracker of trademark nether zone system music. On his most dubbed out full length to date, ojo span’s the full emotive spectrum of dub sonics with a range of both the eerie and more tender expansions of low end atmospherics, the resulting 12” equally suited for the club and the journey home alike.

‘Tongue Tied’ opens the record, a lysergic offering from the darker edges of dub music. A slippery fugue-state hit of narco-ambience built around a crooning, intelligible vocal refrain and chest shot sub weight. A real nightfall system pusher built to simmer in the early hours. It kicks off the EP on an amorphous, hypnotic note that sustains throughout.‘Oil Dub’ sinks deeper into the fog, melodic kinesis and expansive delays upholding an underworld of feedbacked percussion and tongue in cheek sub motion; a seven minute sound bath of ambiguous dub ASMR.

The B-side balances out the darker strains found on its counterpart with an overtly tender digidub closer. Clocking in at almost ten minutes long ‘Cloud Suck’ is a nebulous bliss of perpetually ascending late-summer warmth. The kind of liminal dream-state embrace that you wish would never end. True to the name, it evokes tender, dusk and dawn hued moments, a quiet ride-home flash of introspection on the way to or from some pursuit of meaning. Pain Management essential right here.

Limited run of 200 hand-stamped 12” records available now.

alys(alys)alys.
"Brazil-born, Berlin-based alys(alys)alys explores the (un)common ground between experimental, club, and soundcloud music; crafting a dynamic approach to her own productions and eclectic DJ sets. For this mix she selected music that translates the feeling that the color red can sometimes provoke on her, focusing on more distorted, aggressive and bassy sounds."

David Rauer.
"There were always a pottery wheel and a record player lying around in the studio. Suddenly, two worlds came together: objects and music. I started using these vinyl pucks as a DJ to offer a visual experience as well. The object could take ownership of the record, and the music could shape the object. Forms for spinning. I spontaneously took the first 40 vinyl pucks in a car to Frankfurt, to a DJ who is also a tailor, Paul-David Rollmann. Since then, others have been spinning the pucks too. The ceramic object has found a new niche. Music shapes matter, and matter shapes music."

MCKENZIE.
"For this episode, McKenzie delivers a classic hypnotic techno set that reflects her unique musical journey. Originally from the US and now based in Tbilisi, she has become a recognizable force in the underground scene, known for her deep, immersive selections and marathon closing sets. With appearances at Budeclub, Club Rote Sonne, Fold.LDN, Kibe Batumi, and RSO.Berlin, her sound is fluid and dynamic—seamlessly weaving together driving rhythms, subtle textures, and atmospheric grooves. With a deep appreciation for tension and release, she crafts a journey that’s both meditative and powerful, inviting listeners to lose themselves in the flow."

GIORGI NAKASHIDZE.
For the focused driving techno Mix from Mckenzie, Giorgi brought an Observation captured  in the remote Javakheti mountains of Georgia. He writes “this is not a natural glacier but a fleeting, almost surreal sculpture, formed by the eruption of water from a broken pipe. The ice accumulates chaotically yet elegantly, resembling a frozen waterfall or a cluster of stalactites—alien-like creatures suspended in time. An accidental masterpiece ? It stirs the imagination, transporting us to landscapes beyond our own. Each year, as the flow of water changes, a new version of this formation takes shape, never repeating itself, always transforming.  This photograph captures a brief, unrepeatable moment— a testament to nature’s ability to create, destroy, and reinvent.”

 X^x.
" This episode is especially important to us, as it expresses our deep fascination with Georgia and its subcultural movements.We believe in the responsibility we all share to support the people and cultural movements we enjoy and consume. This leads us to our ambition—not only to celebrate the beautiful art of Mckenzie and Giorgi in this episode but also to spotlight a brave fight against oppression, undemocratic processes, and the pursuit of freedom."

Few producers embody the contradictions of our era as viscerally as Pavel Milyakov, better known under his alias Buttechno (@buttechno). First emerging from underground with a body of work that oscillated between post-industrial techno and introspective ambient, Milyakov has since shifted his practice towards deeper sonic and conceptual terrains. Now based in Berlin, he operates equally as composer, collaborator, and cultural agitator — using music as a vessel to process historical trauma, collective memory, and the psychic toll of authoritarianism. Whether channelling harsh noise into haunted minimalism or scoring fractured rave anthems with meditative restraint, his output refuses easy categorisation. Across projects with artists like Bendik Giske, Lucas Dupuy, and Martyna Basta, as well as his PSY X label, Milyakov crafts spaces where vulnerability and resistance coexist.

As Buttechno, Milyakov continues to challenge what techno can hold: abrasive textures meet hypnotic repetition; dancefloor urgency meets political grief. His sets, like his productions, exist in a tension between euphoria and erosion — propulsive yet frayed, euphoric yet elegiac. A fierce opponent of neo-imperialist ideologies, Milyakov has used his platform to denounce war crimes, reroute funds toward humanitarian efforts, and elevate lesser-known voices from the margins. From early cult releases like "Eastern Strike" to his recent frost-laced "lost sounds" EP, his sonic language has grown expansive, intimate, and defiantly plural. In this week's mix, expect a deep and atmospheric set that not only moves bodies, but also challenges histories, offering not escape, but confrontation, communion, and transformation.
