"We are more than delighted to welcome Martini to W133. After appearances on Kindergarten Records and Early Reflex, the NYC-based producer delivers three uniquely well-crafted originals for the Berlin imprint. ... On A3, the third and last original track, "Lounge Lizard," creeps into your ears very subtly and sneakily. High foreign-sounding arpeggiated melodies twirl around your head, and you get...

"Can’t think of anything serious sorryyyy" @flexam @sweet-tapes

"Stitched together some recent digs for a 90-min trip for the good folks at Mantissa. Building from start to finish expect some oddball tracks, progressive rollers, and some party starters." @lord-can

"I usually use home recorded mixes to explore the deeper and more esoteric corners of my record and music collection, but with this one for the Mantissa crew I decided to do something more 'club' or dance-floor orientated. It was a good idea, because it was actually really fun to make and I had a good time recording it. Percussive, dubby, bassy and with a healthy dose of DRUMS (as is usual with me...

"I like doing studio mixes with a specific idea in mind. It could be a theme, a color, a feeling, a specific club, or space I am envisioning while putting the tracks together. For this mix, I really wanted to play with energy, and bringing it up and down and back again throughout the mix. It's a bit how I try to DJ an opening set, bridging the gap between dancefloor tracks and experimentation, kee...

Grid Records kick off their 2024 with Contrast EP, a mesmerising collection of future-facing tracks from certified one-to-watch Plebeian. The NYC producer is quickly garnering deserved attention for his acutely detailed and explorative bass productions reminiscent of Objekt and Djrum. Plebeian offers up four shimmering and lush dance organisms that exist in an ecosystem entirely of their own. Micr...

Under the unusual casing of the Schönfeld album are many small cogwheels, whirring drive belts, elastic support straps and clattering cylinder heads that want to push the experimental device towards the dance floor and succeed in doing so. An ant city with a functioning infrastructure from whose towers the trumpet riffs, professionally played by the master himself, resound. The stubborn otherness...

"Akanbi B2B The Large recorded live last November at New York’s veteran party ReSolute! This 2hr recording was the closing set to a rocking night with the Zenker Brothers & Priori holding down the earlier shifts. Mega fun & bubbly, body rocking, summer whiplash vibes plenty inside this chunky mix. A bountiful bouquet of good ass dance music straight from the heart is what you’re guaranteed with th...

Accidental melodies and textural forms comprise Kin Teal’s Ecosystem, the Budapest-based producer’s second EP of iridescent club-not-club zones and debut for Human Pitch. Bridging 130-140 leftfield bass with liquid downtempo chuggers, Kin Teal uncovers hidden melodies in the resonant frequencies of percussion. “By amplifying certain frequencies in drum breaks, our brains latch onto that as a melod...

'Morphers' is a rattling 3 tunes split that was forged between French producer Flore and San Francisco’s Only Now. The release represents the unwritten language shared between both friends over the past 7 years, with their affinity for propulsive percussion workouts and livewire bass music. After releasing on the POLAAR label for years, Only Now and Flore finally met in person for a collab long aw...

"the inspiration for this mix came from a special afterparty where i DJ’d after a rave i had co-organized in montreal last october. i had spent most of the night dealing with the cops and got a fine for noise. once at the afterparty, i got to channel my frustration into music; i played dub techno for hours. to me, the airy but deep grooves of that music provide space for both introspection and rel...

Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a curious newcomer, you'll find something to love in our mix of classic tracks and cutting-edge releases. Using just a few elements to create hypnotic and immersive tracks that will transport you to another world. " https://soundc...

"For this mix I went for a few leftfield selections, focussing more on the mix as an entirety rather than a collection of songs. It still got the signature high tempo rave feel to it but I added a lot of selections which wouldn't always get a play on the dancefloor. It's dissonant, it's bassy, it's groovy baby." @jordankjoseph

"A little mix put together on a warm evening in September, consisting of mostly faster dub-infused groovers, finished off with some acidy synth-driven spanking." @svedstorm

The inaugural compilation by Etherwerkz is packed with high-vibrational bass-heavy club music from friends and faves, setting the tone for th...

"For this mix I wanted to pull together something that captures where I'm at musically in terms of what I'm listening to regularly, obsessing over and who I'm inspired by. I feel like it's a proper time capsule. I'm very thankful for the dancefloor experiences I had this summer which introduced me to some pretty incredible producers and DJs, ones who are more influenced by nature and the environme...

As the tide of the lagoon’s water follows the moon phases, the washes of evolving pads evolve from the intention of a singular binary structure. These tracks were composed in Venice between 2021-2023 as improvisations mostly run by machine. Dynamic range, tonality, harmony, and in some occasions, even timbres are a function of scripts. Bandcamp: https://ruvidorecords.bandcamp.com/ https://soundclo...

"The mix reflects a whole range of different types of house and therefore also my repertoire. Between deep house and rolling baselines that slowly transition into energetic progressive house tracks, the mix ends up being a trip through the 90s and the present as well as the genre that I love so much because of its diversity." @janthejanthe @institut-fuer-zukunft
