Digital release: 18th June 2021
Vinyl release: 2nd July 2021

Following EXHALE’s first VA release in 2020, the party series by @amelielens turned label once again welcomes existing members, flourishing producers and blossoming new artists to the EXHALE family for its second various artists compilation.

Opening the record are hardware aficionados @999999999music with ‘Alarm 303’ - a powerful techno floor destroyer armed with a reverberating kick, rushy rave stabs and a barrage of alarms. Promising newcomer @jastice_music presents an energetic ravey cut that weaves between faded synths and a softened vocal, accompanied by an entrancing interlude with ‘Hey You’. Mancunian producer @kontainmcrr dishes out ‘Neck Crank’, a hybrid of gritty rumbling bass chords, strident synths and an unwavering kick. Istanbul’s @grafinmusic continues by deftly combining electronic stabs, flurried hi-hats and gravitating synths layered above the melody in ‘Chatty Echoes’.

Following is ‘Bóg Jest w Techno’ event boss @septonly, who presents us with a stripped back cut layered with piercing synth keys and gentle electro elements in ‘Beyond The Veil’. Acid stabs and a female voice echo the track title in @raven's trippy cut ‘Metal On Metal’, with light airy synths to close out that simulate euphoria. We’re taken on a dark and weightier expedition with @frazi_er in ‘Systematic Ignorance’ - a brooding bass drives the sound, with acid melodies adding texture throughout. Keeping up pace is ‘Kendall’ by @trymofficial, a cinematic composition that utilises cymbals, hi-hats and synth notes to create a brighter melody over its dark percussion.

Rounding off is London techno talent @charlie-sparks-531540495 who equips the record with weapon ‘Tataki’, combining Japanese vocals with acid 303’s, sirens and powerful kick drums. Next up we have @under-black-helmet with ‘Rogue’, an industrial style track that uses familiar dark themes characterized by distorted keys and commanding kicks. Brooklyn’s @xiorro follows with ‘Healing Colors’ featuring Adrestia, with a yearning distorted vocal sample, protruding percussion and jagged synth keys. The finale is delivered by EXHALE mainstay @ahl-iver’s ‘There Is Always Light’ - a trancy endeavour that juggles hi-hats and cymbals with twinkling euphoric synth keys and long waning bass chords.

ZENA MIXSERIES NO. 52 - LA MER

La Mer

La Mer is an Electronic Music Producer, DJ, Cellist and Composer, based in Tel Aviv. She combines her classical roots with her passion for electronic music and creates her own unique sound. She cherishes the idea that genre isn’t the important part of the music, but the flow and progress.
La Mer is one of De Zee Music’s founding members, a group that emphasises the focus on creative collaboration, rather than genre perfection. They hope to spread the word that genre isn’t the foundation, but the outcome. 

"I support hard work, progress and innovation, and I think the "first" women who achieve certain goals are admirable, but is this the world we deserve? 
Growing up, it was clear that if I'll work hard, I'll achieve what I want, but no one came to me at the age of 12 with an "All the Professions in the World" book and let me choose what I want to do in life. It's easy to forget that this matter has a lot of weight on tracking and social constructionism. I was raised towards "aspiration for excellence", but excellence in what subject? It was clear to me that I'll work hard playing the cello and that I will continue to play the cello and that it would be what I would do in the future. But somehow anything that had to do with creation remained "in the drawer". After all, even when I was a teenager, I loved writing music, and I did, but at no point did I think it was something I could really do. Even though my parents raised me to believe I can do anything, it has nothing to do with it. 

It wasn't until my friend invited me to join him in college for music production studies, only then I realized that it was possible. It was so far away from me. Not only was it an unattainable dream, it just wasn't a dream because I didn't even think of it as a possibility. Up until I started studying and creating, I didn't even know any female composers or producers. So, yes, we broke the glass ceiling, but "go tell" a 12-year-old girl she can do these things when there's no woman to look up to and admire. And no, there's no reason in the world for all women in the world to have to fight tooth and nail to get to the places they want, or at least not more than men have to.

Personally, I'm exhausted of having to prove every time that not only I'm good at what I do, but that I'm the best at it. Because if you're not the best, there are enough men who do the job as well as you do. And they're men."

FrenzyPodcast.101 Pernox

Our 101st podcast will be provided by the German DJ Pernox. Since a couple of years, Pernox is resident of Geheimclub Magdenburg. Since becoming a regular Pernox takes care of the bookings and podcast series of the club as well. Generally, he likes to implement a diverse range of tracks in his sets driven by his mood. Old School tools, groovy tracks, electro, ghetto house and footwork, all come across when plays. 

For Frenzy Pernox delivered a 3h mix, which is a live recording of his closing set at Geheimclub Magdeburg. When asked what he wanted to create during his 3h set, he told us: “I decided to open the set with some ambient stuff and to go not to hard (but fast-paced) from the beginning and create more and more tension. So I ended up playing more recent and driving productions during this part of the set. For me the first little break is at about 40 minutes, when I took out some of the energy. After that I went on playing more diverse and storytelling, and subsequently you can hear more and more old school tunes, the atmosphere is switching quite frequently and you can find some non-techno tracks.” Listen to the sound of Pernox here, enjoy!
