Premiere: OL – Jungle TV
Wrapping stealthy, predator-like bass moves, hissy hi-hats and granular claps around a psychedelic synth melody, ‘Jungle TV’ is an understated wonky melter. We got to discuss studio matters with Oleg and asked him about his hip-hop backdrop and further plans for the Summer.

After a great start to the Summer season at St John’s Church on Saturday 30th April Secretsundaze return with another finely tuned party on Sunday 29th May

Allergy Season present Allergy Edits Vol.1
Daniel Fisher aka Physical Therapy convenes the New-York connection for a fresh new series of edit-focused releases featuring the cream of the crop of the Big Apple’s techno and house scene: Terekke, Galcher Lustwerk, Via App, Young Male, Max McFerren, Fisher himself and more.
In Perspective: Mosca
With a fresh new platter set to hit the shelves shortly, the sweet-scented ‘Cedar Wood State‘ EP, it was time to check what Mosca’s been up to. The Londoner sheds light on the creation of Not So Much, talks artistic control, boring techno and internet boom.

With Summer looming and floral shirts blossoming, Inverted Audio’s founder and editor-in-chief Antepop steps up to deliver the 19th instalment of Farr Festival’s podcast series.
Nuel: Unveiled
Rich of a multiplicity of listening levels and quite unfathomable deepness, Nuel’s music is creating a unique, alienated intimacy with its listener. For they are so unfettered and carefully textured, it’s fair to say these tracks haven’t finished to drip-feed their penetrating fragrance.
Objekt mixes ‘Kern Vol.3’ for Tresor
Following efforts from DJ Deep and DJ Hell, Berlin-based producer Objekt steps up with a very personal mix for Tresor.

Premiere: Eduardo De La Calle – Red (El_Txef_A’s Black Blood Mix)
Today we’re proud to present El_Txef_A’s feverish rework of the opening ‘Red’ cut. Stripping it of its balmy piano stabs and halftone singularity, the Forbidden Colours top dog bathes the original into a filthy pool of cold, static-drowned vocals, acidic bass and hissy, dysfunctional mechanics. Take a deep breath.
Album Premiere: Mattia Trani ‘The Hi-Tech Mission’
Pushmaster Discs boss Mattia Trani surfaces with his debut long-player ‘The Hi-Tech Mission’, a nine-track interplanetary epic invoking Underground Resistance’s trademark fast-breakers, mind-expanding jazzy accents and straight up bashing breaks. Stream the album within.
Video Premiere: Benedikt Frey ‘Lights’ – Directed by Moskalus
Known for championing the lo-fi aesthetic via slick FX-drowned visual pieces for some of the dust-and-hiss scene’s hottest producers, Moskalus frames Benedikt Frey’s ‘Lights‘ into a murky superimposition of chopped-and-screwed B-grade horror movie sequences gone shapeless.
