Aphex Twin at Funkhaus Berlin

Was this the most anticipated DJ set of 2018? Did it deliver against all the negativity, befuddled organisation, extortionate ticket price and questionable venue? Tom Durston attempts to answer all of these questions in this review of Aphex Twin at Funkhaus Berlin.

Jonas Friedlich

Since surfacing two years ago on Molten Moods Jonas Friedlich has been championing a sound that wholeheartedly crosses segments of stomping techno, old-school junglism, pot-fuelled Bristolian riddims and post-industrial atmospherics to design a uniquely trenchant arsenal of dancefloor-dedicated weapons. We caught up with the German producer to find out more about his origins.

Forest Drive West: Apparitions

Following two extended players on Livity Sound in 2017, plus a string of equally solid releases on Hidden Hawaii, Rupture, Appian Sound and Dnuos Ytivil, London-based producer Forest Drive West steps up to deliver his debut long player on Peverelist’s iconic Bristol-based record label.

Arad

Following our music video premiere of Arad’s ‘Inti’ on Bedouin Records, we drafted the Irish producer in for a mix to find out the intricacies of his new audio visual project. We also discuss his residency on Dublin Digital Radio and producing a soundtrack for a horror movie.

Garies

Garies mix oscillates between a post-Rephlex kind of vibe and off-kilter robot scripts on a balearic tip, as New Jackson’s signature woozy, sensuous electronics and Lumigraph’s further sturdy hybrid techno alloys weave a fascinating floor narrative.

Various Artists: Kulør 001

Composed of some of Copenhagen’s most promising techno producers including IBON, Schacke, Sugar, Repro, Rune Bagge and Funeral Future, ‘Kulør 001’ is the inaugural compilation from Courtesy’s new record label, Kulør – whose name literally translates to ‘Colour’.
