https://inverted-audio.com/mix/answer-code-requestRecorded to accompany Halo, his first album in eight years, this is a tighter, dancefloor-oriented session from Patrick Gräser. Where a Berghain marathon might stretch to five hours, IA MIX 404 compresses that same energy into a compact, club-focused set. The selections lean spontaneous rather than thematic, drawing on what Gräser has been playing out recently - groovier, house-inflected material sitting alongside the tougher techno his name is best known for.
https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-tryst-paciferous-raindrop-dubKokong Festival announces its Vol. 2 sampler ahead of the 31 July–1 August event on Åland, featuring six tracks from Havsmörker, Yard One, Samuli Kemppi, Tryst, Erase and Simone Ghetti. The premiere, Tryst's 'Paciferous Raindrop Dub', unfurls warm dub textures, swelling pads and a deep, steady kick into a lush, spacious soundscape.
philosophy that's kept Palinoia to just 12 releases in ten years. He discusses the slow, pressure-filled transition from digger to producer, admitting he's his own harshest critic and works entirely in-the-box by choice. The album itself, he reveals, was born out of catharsis, a release valve for an especially brutal couple of years, which explains its unexpected swings into jungle, dub and ambient territory alongside his signature techno. Cloutier also speaks candidly about the current state of club culture, criticising promoters chasing metrics over substance and DJs feeding audiences predictable, algorithm-friendly sets, while affirming his own refusal to chase trends just to stay afloat.
https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-alex-albrecht-too-much-trafficAfter two years and four releases, Pintai announce their first LP release, a nine track 2x12” boasting contributions from some of the most prolific producers with that penchant for all things deep. Our focus track, Too Much Traffic, comes via Australian producer Alex Albrecht, combining intricately bubbling synths, dubby chord stabs and sharp hats into a dreamy, slow motion turner of a house track.
D's 10-year run, its marble-cover artwork, and an accompanying interview covering Berlin, Los Angeles, and more.
Read: https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-1168pm-make-me Hot on the heels of his first release on his very own Craft Services, 11:68PM returns with a five track EP that, rather than representing a progression from CS001, demonstrates the tools and influences from which the preceding EP was developed. A little more stripped back and raw, CS002 is a collection of functional sounds for blending on the dancefloor, but with enough attention to detail for them to stand on their own two feet - especially on a soundsystem that boasts a little heft.
https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-abul-mogard-and-rafael-anton-irisarri-in-the-eastern-wildAbul Mogard and Rafael Anton Irisarri’s collaboration captures a live, unfiltered immediacy, recorded during a Berlin residency. In The Eastern Wild unfolds from near silence into layered, immersive depth, blending delicate strings with expanding synths. A grounding low-end drone anchors the piece, as tension builds inward, evoking a suspended, quietly overwhelming sense of scale and awe.
, a nine-minute dub techno centrepiece that sounds as vital today as it did 27 years ago.
https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-havsmorker-nordanvaderslyckanHavsmörker's Nordanväderslyckan, taken from the Ilväder EP on Refraction Records, blends field recordings, analogue synthesis and acoustic instrumentation across dub techno, jazz and Nordic folk. Axel Hjo and Anton Johansson craft a sprawling, immersive piece — acid synths, writhing basslines and brooding clarinet tones evoking a psychedelic Scandi Cobblestone Jazz.
: a ruminative, unhurried piece built on a droned-out guitar sample, low-slung bassline and buoyant synths — ending the album on a pensive note, with just a sliver of light breaking through.
https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-josh-padgett-masochist-in-belgrade-george-nbs-after-hours-mix Ascension's 8th release introduces London producer Josh Padgett with Masochist in Belgrade, accompanied by an After Hours Mix from label head George NB. The remix trades the original's trippy textures for a moodier, warmer tone — humid pads, skittering hats, and subtle bass stabs building into a satisfying small-hours listen.
https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-nathan-fake-hypercube-mac-seldom-remixNathan Fake's Hypercube — a standout from his InFiné album Evaporator — gets the remix treatment from Basile3, Tukan, Fake himself, and Mac Seldom. It's Mac Seldom's version that commands attention, dragging the track from rave-tinged airiness into something altogether grimier: distorted low-end, snapping electro drums and fried analogue textures, with fragments of the original synth-work flickering through like sparking loose wire. A purpose-built weapon for deep-set moments when the floor needs reclaiming.
https://inverted-audio.com/review/lord-of-the-isles-venus-flux/ Lord Of The Isles makes his debut on Far Blue - marking the label's third ever physical release. Venus Flux is a four-track EP that moves deftly between beatless psychedelia, old-school dub house and ice-cold dub techno, before closing on the weightless, breakbeat-driven sound that has defined his reputation. Hypnotic, emotionally charged and masterfully produced throughout - essential listening.
https://inverted-audio.com/mix/ulf-erikssonMalmö DJ and Kontra-Musik label head Ulf Eriksson sits down with us alongside longtime collaborator Andreas Tilliander — known to most as TM404 — to talk through their first joint release, Ulf Och Andreas - EP 1. It's a record ten years in the making: minimal, raw house and techno that bears the marks of their ongoing creative tension — Eriksson pushing for restraint, Tilliander reaching for layers. The conversation is candid, often funny, and revealing about how both artists work. Eriksson also recorded an IA Mix to accompany the release, moving from PST's warm house through Omar-S and Eletun Selona to the duo's own material.
https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-aza-the-black-grooveQueer Future Club — a new collective dedicated to platforming queer, trans and non-binary artists — launches with Served Hot, a various artists EP spanning trance, techno, house, bass and electro. Premiering here is aza's contribution to the record: a 145 bpm dancefloor weapon built on a freely grooving bassline, warm chord stabs and chopped vocals.
https://inverted-audio.com/mix/hoaviFor our 400th mix, we wanted something that felt genuinely singular. Kirill Vasin, aka Hoavi, delivers exactly that — a mix composed entirely of music made by him and his students.Hoavi is a teacher of music composition, and the philosophy that underpins his work bleeds into everything he touches. His recent album Architectonics on Peak Oil draws on the interlocking rhythmic traditions of gamelan, approaching form and timbre with the rigour of a composer and the intuition of a producer. That same spirit of communal practice is at the heart of IA MIX 400.Read our interview with Hoavi and listen to one of the most considered mixes in this series' history.
a fat kick and rolling bassline lock into an instantly familiar groove, the bassline morphing into lead synth. Tackle for sunny extended evenings.
https://inverted-audio.com/review/pst-kognitiv-discodansPorn Sword Tobacco’s Kognitiv Discodans EP on Kontra delivers five tracks of dreamy, dubby house marked by restraint and detail. Warm pads, minimal rhythms, and subtle textures create a hazy, late-night atmosphere. Shifting from weightless ambience to driving grooves, the EP balances elegance and grit, closing with a euphoric, disco-tinged finale that lingers like after-hours glow.@kontramusik
https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-iadi-synapse/IADI debuts with Under My Skin on Neo Life, a sub-label of the Back To Life which boasts reissues from the likes of Ron Trent, Chez Damier, Mike Huckaby and Gez Varley. A concept album, its themes centre around the increasingly technological systems we find ourselves enmeshed in, the ever-blurring line drawn between man and machine.
https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-thomas-james-real-time On their Real Time EP Glaswegian duo Thomas + James showcase a level of restraint and control that far exceeds their years in the scene. After turning heads on Alt Dub’s Artist Series 2, they now step up for their full debut on the Cornwall-based imprint - joining a roster of increasingly esteemed company
https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-tobias-solid-state/ Logistic Records celebrate their 30th anniversary with a special reissue of four tracks from veteran of the scene Tobias. that were initially released across two EPs in 2006 and 2007 - Street Knowledge and Dial. 'Solid State' epitomises the minimal yet vivacious aesthetic of the release. A simple, dampened kick opens alongside a noodling bassline, before lush piano chords, crisp hats and urgent vocal samples bump the track along at a satisfyingly danceable pace.Tobias. : @tobias-freundLogistic: Records @user-368842820
https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-1168pm-solid-state/ Berlin’s DIY imprint Craft Services launches with Solid State from founder 11:68PM. Rooted in dancefloor sensibilities, the track delivers stripped-back, elegant house built from chopped vocals, chunky rhythms and warm pads. Subtle acid lines and synth flourishes add movement, making it a refined, DJ-friendly cut with a sun-soaked, forward-looking feel.
https://inverted-audio.com/variant-the-setting-sun-field-recordsField Records continue their run of essential archival vinyl reissues with a beautifully remastered edition of Stephen Hitchell’s 2009 ambient dub techno masterpiece under his Variant alias, The Setting Sun.Best known as the driving force behind Echospace Detroit and celebrated for his work as cv313, Intrusion and Soultek, Hitchell stands as one of dub techno’s defining producers - an artist equally fluent in deep rhythmic propulsion and pure tonal immersion. As Variant, he distils that full spectrum into an ambient-with-teeth suite that finally receives the vinyl pressing it has long deserved.Originally released as a CD-only album on Echospace Detroit, The Setting Sun was constructed through an intensely tactile process. Hitchell drew from field recordings of late-night storms in Berlin and train journeys through Narita Airport in Japan, blending them with outboard synthesis, samplers and hardware recording techniques - with no computers involved at any stage. That physical approach to sound design radiates throughout the album: towering chords rich with harmonic overtones, surface noise used as an expressive element, and subtle layers of distortion that deepen the narrative weight of each piece.
https://inverted-audio.com/mix/rob-clouth/Rob Clouth returns with Cicada, a four-track EP that signals a shift toward a faster, more instinctive creative process, accompanied by an IA MIX that blurs the line between DJing and production. Built in Ableton at 160–170 BPM, the mix layers over 25 tracks using edits, stem separation and rapid transitions, resulting in a dense, high-energy session that reflects his current maximalist approach.In conversation with Ryan Pivovar, Clouth discusses moving away from rigid concepts toward a more playful, process-driven workflow. Rather than over-curating, he’s focused on momentum, embracing spontaneity and letting ideas flow more freely.The interview also explores his collaboration with Max Cooper, his thoughts on AI as both a creative tool and a challenge, and Noise Canvas, his self-built sound design software. Together, Cicada and the mix capture an artist loosening control, trusting instinct, and building toward a future album.@robclouth
Edward Richards’ psychedelic original pushed into murky club territory by Pugilist. Heavy low-end, tribal rhythms, distorted vocals and hypnotic repetition collide, balancing shamanic atmosphere with serious dancefloor weight — a slow-burner that hits both the mind and the body.
https://inverted-audio.com/review/andre-zimmer-swamp-circuitCanadian producer Andre Zimmer debuts on Craigie Knowes with Swamp Circuit, a four-track EP born from London-based hardware jams. Blending UK breaks, electro, bassline and flashes of 90s rave energy, the record balances punch and emotion with confident precision. From the snappy drive of “Pushing My Buttons” to the high-energy breaks of the title track and “Flashing Red,” Zimmer navigates club intensity and after-hours atmosphere. Closing cut “Broken News” fuses infectious electro with a hypnotic 303 line, delivering tension, release and euphoric momentum.
https://inverted-audio.com/mix/intertotoFor IA MIX 398, @intertoto_music steps away from the traditional DJ format to deliver an exclusive live set composed of unreleased material and dubbed-out stems - a snapshot of a performance configuration currently taking shape. Immersed in a super dubby, murky atmosphere, the set gradually gives way to a handful of 4/4 excursions towards the closing stretch.Keeping things deliberately minimal, the live setup centres around Ableton, recently expanded with Intech Studio MIDI controllers and coloured by a hands-on outboard effects chain. As Intertoto notes, even subtle shifts in processing can dramatically reshape the outcome - a philosophy that permeates the mix’s fluid, zoned-out energy. Recorded in the studio with headphones on, this is deep immersion: “some proper zoned out business…”In our interview below, we speak with Intertoto about studio gear, the father of modern geology, the importance of texture, and the role of controlled randomness. Dive into the interview and IA MIX 398 - a fitting companion piece to Siccar Point.BUY ALBUM: https://inverted-audio.store/products/intertoto-siccar-point
https://inverted-audio.store/blogs/news/inverted-audio-x-wizz-in-store-club-night-at-venue-m-o-tOn Friday 6 February, Paris bass collective WizZ joined forces with Inverted Audio for a full-spectrum session moving through bass, techno and jungle. The collaboration unfolded across two stops, beginning with a pre-party at Inverted Audio Record Store, Peckham, ahead of the club night at Venue M.O.T. This recording captures the in-store session, featuring sets from Lutsu and WizZ founder STL-P, laying down the foundations for the night to come.
Blanche with a new EP that deepens his blend of deep house, jazz and warm, organic instrumentation. Drawing on brass samples, fluid rhythms and rich harmonies, he delivers a sound that’s both groove-led and atmospheric. From the driving Feel Everything All At Once to the jazz-focused Procession, Ali channels a 90s NYC club vibe with a big-band twist.
https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-conor-cc-airFollowing the rush of Hidden Allure, Conor CC returns to Origin CC with Air - a darker, more deliberate cut trading peak-time speed for low-slung tension. Rolling at 120 BPM, the track pairs break-driven rhythms with a thick, rumbling low-end. Distorted vocals, echoing mids and razor-sharp percussion lock into a groove that feels both hypnotic and physical.
https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-rafael-anton-irisarri-signals-from-a-distant-afterglowWe’re proud to premiere ‘Signals from a Distant Afterglow’, the emotional centrepiece from Rafael Anton Irisarri’s forthcoming album Points of Inaccessibility (out 6th February). Built from slow-burning bowed strings and smouldering drones, the track reaches its most affecting moment through the ghostly vocals of Karen Vogt - fragile, distant and deeply emotive. It’s dark ambient at its most intimate, quietly overwhelming and rich with sorrow, memory and consolation.
https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-michael-claus-surveillance-speciesMichael Claus’ latest release Static Drift on Club Moniker leans firmly into heavy, propulsive techno, blending clattering percussion, submerged synths and glitchy rave energy. Written over three years during his move from the Bay Area to New York, the record marks a shift from his moodier dub-influenced work toward peak-time club sonics, with standout track “Surveillance Species” delivering a focused, exhilarating techno workout.
https://inverted-audio.com/review/hame-elanFresh from a run of acclaimed releases, @hame-compathy presents his debut LP Élan on @yoyaku. Known for his warm yet driving take on deep house, the album captures the subtlety and emotional depth that have defined his recent work. Opening with lush, enveloping pads, Élan unfolds as a cohesive, endlessly listenable journey - intimate, immersive and rich in atmosphere.
https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-ufo95-pulsation-3French producer UFO95 returns with A Brutalist Dystopian Society on MORD, an uncompromising techno album inspired by the stark power of Brutalist architecture and its wider social meaning. Drawing on themes of protest, tension and failed utopias, the record distils heaviness, minimalism and raw energy into fourteen razor-sharp live-driven cuts. Capturing the industrial intensity of Berlin’s Tresor, it’s a tough, hypnotic and deeply physical statement from one of techno’s most formidable live performers.
https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-peryl-nullity/Berlin-based techno producer @peryl_music lands on German record label @augmented_research to deliver his latest album Phase Alterations, an exploration in the highly detailed world of analogue synthesis.Nullity distills the sound of Phase Alterations into (just shy of) 6 subterranean minutes of brooding drone work, aquatic, distorted synths and taut bursts of crackle and static, all underpinned by the kind of relentless 4/4 drive that sits well in any dark basement complete with a high-quality sound system.
Home' is the EP's standout track: clean, clinical drum programming delivered with signature finesse, offset by a harsher clap that adds bite and urgency. The groove is tight yet spacious, allowing the low-end to breathe while each percussive detail lands with intent, as Kaczor builds tension patiently rather than forcing release.
https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-forward-memory-scholzs-starArtist Series 02 marks the next step in Alt Dub’s steady expansion, uniting Forward Memory, Thomas + James, Gradient and Beppu as they each reinterpret the label’s warm, spacious dub aesthetic through their own lens. Together they push Alt Dub’s sound deeper into hypnotic, analogue-rich territory, with Forward Memory’s “Scholz’s Star” setting the tone through its driving, deliberate pulse and finely sculpted atmosphere.@altdub@forwardmemory
https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-jonnnah-consume-meFrench producer Pierre Paumier returns as @jonnnah with his new LP What They Left on Second End Records, a wintry blend of dub techno, bass, ambient, and slowed breakbeat textures. Among its standout moments, “Consume Me” drifts from a foggy dub techno haze into an understated downtempo groove, carrying a subtle trip-hop mood that feels both welcoming and quietly mysterious. It plays like an interlude in an open-ended game world - more about wandering through its soft, uncharted spaces than reaching any particular destination.
https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-harrison-bdp-mushy-peas A new sub-label emerges from Neptune Discs - and who better to launch Jupiter's Depth than deep-sea house explorer Harrison BDP. His new 4-track EP bubbles up from the ocean floor with molten energy, conjuring visions of alien lifeforms drifting around hydrothermal vents. Packed with with volcanic energy - giving life to thousands of little critters to swim and dance around the ears.@neptunediscs @harrisonbdp
https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-tharn-lastTharn returns to Belgian imprint Crossfade Sounds with Reach, a three-track dive into vaporous, slow-burning dub techno. Misty ambience, weightless rhythms and whispery vocals form a hazy, dreamlike space - music made for quiet, reflective moments rather than the club.@soundavenue
https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-renato-fiorito-sei-di-nuovo-quiElectro-acoustic composer Renato Fiorito returns with Bastimento, a site-specific work built from field recordings captured along the dramatic coastline of Mount Bulgheria in Italy’s Cilento National Park. Developed as a three-act performance across three distinct coastal locations, the album channels the swelling Mediterranean through narrow inlets and resonant natural chambers, exploring isolation, landscape and the power of place. From the cavernous drift of “Sei Di Nuovo Qui” to the album’s icy, dissolving finale, Bastimento traces three evolving soundworlds that move from warmth to starkness - a mesmerising immersion in sea, space and echo.@renfiorito
https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-tile-plazas-healing-pond 100% Silk is celebrating its 15th anniversary with the upcoming compilation Late Shift Silk. Featuring a slate of new and familiar names, the California label commemorates a decade and a half of sounds that range from chill room dub, pool party house, and rooftop techno.“Healing Pond” is an oasis lying just beyond the horizon. With dreamy keys and percussion percolating at a gentle simmer, Tile Plazas deliver an intoxicating gem that puts the listener in a mood of peak summer heat waves, where scorching concrete sidewalks mingle with gently swaying palm trees.
https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-yamaan-night-flightAhead of their 15th anniversary, @100percentsilk have assembled Late Shift Silk, a collection of tracks from a group of mostly new, and some familiar, names to the label. Label favourites such as Charles A.D. and Shine Grooves stand alongside new additions to the roster such as Warden and Dorosoto. The compilation is less a look in the rearview mirror than it is a map of the road ahead. Japanese producer @yamaan may be familiar to listeners for a 2020 cassette release on Tokyo’s Dotei Records, as well as lush, ambient leaning hip hop as part of CHIYORI × YAMAAN. They kick off ‘Late Shift Silk’ with “Night Flight”, an appropriately low slung slice of airborne techno navigating smooth, star-filled skies. Yamaan’s sound is perfectly suited for night drives across empty, neon-kissed highways running down endless urban sprawl.
https://inverted-audio.com/mix/uOne year on from Life Isn’t A Fountain? - the Lex Records EP where archival post-punk was reanimated through meticulous sample-work - the elusive producer U returns with a project that reaches further back and digs far deeper. On ARCHENFIELD, U turns their attention to the Herefordshire borderlands, where English and Welsh histories intermingle and where myth, memory and landscape blur into one another. The album unfolds like auditory time travel: fourteen tracks built from traditional song, home-taped fragments and scraps pulled from television, radio, film and YouTube, all woven into a drifting folkloric reverie.Rather than simply excavating the past, U examines how stories mutate through retelling, how landscapes carry collective memory, and how folklore persists in the messy ways people inhabit a place. If Life Isn’t A Fountain? channelled Thatcher-era discontent through a cracked post-punk prism, ARCHENFIELD widens the lens to probe the fragile relationship between identity and the rural environments that shape it. Dusty pianos, murmuring drones and spectral voices evoke a modern England increasingly severed from the histories beneath its feet.To mark the release, U delivers IA MIX 397, a journey through post-punk, new wave and wayward micro-scenes. Mining forgotten corners of their collection, U mirrors the album’s central question: how the remnants of one era can speak powerfully to the uncertainties of another.
https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-tuxe-nada-a-pulsoTuxe’s debut EP Cem por Cento (100%) captures an artist shaped by constant movement, blending the distorted basslines and chopped vocals of São Paulo’s queer underground with the tropical rhythms and warm pads of Brazil’s northeast. Written between São Paulo, a Northeast tour, and a run through Europe, the EP feels like an auditory love letter to his journey. Its standout track, “Nada A Pulso,” epitomises this balance between raw and lush, pairing shimmering synths with broken beats, warped basslines, and flickering vocal fragments to create an urgent, percussive energy equally suited to a European basement or a Brazilian beach.@iagotuxe
Trent, and the hardware-driven workflow that shaped the record. Along the way, he opens up about Berlin’s shifting musical landscape, India’s rapidly evolving club culture, and the humour, accidents and curiosity that continue to guide his sound.
on Dutch imprint Intercept. The project is the raw, urgent result of a life-altering epileptic seizure Jones suffered in 2019, an event that shattered his sense of self and forced him into solitude, reflection, and emotional reconstruction.@ozzy2016@interceptrecords
A Rüeger return to mark Blizzard Audio Club’s 5-year anniversary with Flight Reflex, a synth-driven, tension-filled cut from the BAC+5 compilation. Built on evolving pads, crisp rhythmic plucks and rolling arpeggiators, the track moves between orchestral-tinged ambience and energetic 4/4 peaks. Brief but deeply resonant, it leaves an afterglow that lingers long after it ends.@earueger@blizzardaudioclub
is the third track on the album, although its arrival becomes unnoticeable during the listening experience, as it drifts seamlessly between motifs and textures. The piece, and much of the album by that matter, is smothered in the warm fuzz of tape hiss - providing a comfortable constant throughout the piece for the mind to drift into.
https://inverted-audio.com/mix/intrusionWhen Stephen Hitchell released The Seduction of Silence in 2009 under his Intrusion alias, the double-CD immediately established itself as a landmark in the dub techno continuum. Across deep, glacial chords, cavernous bass and hypnotic atmospheres, Hitchell expanded the Berlin/Detroit lineage into something spiritual and introspective – a meditative art form rooted in emotion, texture and stillness rather than club-function alone.Sixteen years on, The Seduction of Silence returns in its most definitive form, with both Part 1 and Part 2 now finally available on vinyl for the first time. Remastered and cut by Stefan Betke (POLE), the records unlock new depth and dimensionality, offering a fully immersive experience for both longstanding admirers and new listeners.Part 1 traces the genesis of Intrusion, sparked by Hitchell’s rediscovery of a Sequential Circuits Prophet 2000 sampler containing fragments of his ’90s experiments. Revived during a period of transition – long hours in record distribution, a move to Chicago’s lakeside, impending fatherhood – those sounds became the foundation for weighty yet introspective dub, heard vividly in Montego Bay and Intrusion Dub.Part 2 carries a more expansive, improvisational feel, influenced by the late Phillip C. Hertz, Hitchell’s colleague at Crosstalk Distribution. Recorded through live jams and experimental sessions, this chapter drifts into deeper ambient-dub territory, paying tribute to collaboration, community and the fluidity of sound.Together, both parts form a deeply personal document of life, art and devotion to sound. Alongside this feature, Hitchell shares a live recording from his New York debut at Public Records in July 2025, hosted by Zen/Echo – an intimate Intrusion performance in full analog drift.BUY PART 1: https://inverted-audio.store/products/intrusion-the-seduction-of-silence-remasteredBUY PART 2: https://inverted-audio.store/products/intrusion-the-seduction-of-silence-part-2-remasteredSHOP ALL ECHOSPACE DETROIT: https://inverted-audio.store/collections/vendors?q=echospace%20%5Bdetroit%5D
https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-aukio-sound-ft-john-folass-sakpataEthnomusicology plays a central role in the work of Aukio Sound, Helsinki-based electronic artist and DJ, and this @futuraresistenza release is no different. Drawn from recordings made during his time in Benin, the 4-track EP contains two tracks with their own alternate dub versions to compliment.Both works feature vocal feature from singer John Follass, the two meeting in Grand-Popo and recording 6 tracks in collaboration. With this material in hand, Aukio Sound returned to Helsinki to produce and master the work into the driving dub-techno heard on the EP.

Across the collection, Parker’s productions balance stripped-back techno with finely tuned textures, veering between subliminal pulses and visceral impact while maintaining the austere alien-like character that has become his signature.

The label now marks a new chapter with its first vinyl release, delivered by fellow co-founder n-trip.The four-track EP highlights n-trip’s approach to sound design and atmosphere, moving fluidly between submerged textures, heavyweight rhythms and raw machine energy.

Opening with precision-drilled drum patterns threaded through a maze of tension-charged frequencies, Nic As Well drags the audience in a Gqom-tinged dimension, ready to be blasted in a jam-packed yard in the townships of Alexandra. As the track unfolds, a maelstrom of stomping kicks collides with FX-warped screams, ending in a cyber aftershock that remains forever like a planetary memory.@cloudcreaked@nic_as_well
READ > https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-synalegg-computer-series-14French producer @synalegg returns to @ooh-sounds with Computer Series / Last Run - the final chapter in his radical generative music experiment. Built in Pure Data, Synalegg’s system composes autonomously, creating immersive, unpredictable sound worlds that blur the line between human design and machine logic.The result recalls Autechre’s algorithmic precision, Jimmy Edgar’s Michaux project, and the mechanical curiosity of Aphex Twin’s Computer Controlled Acoustic Instruments Pt2 - yet feels entirely its own. Glitching rhythms, fractured harmonics, and fleeting human cadences emerge from the code, forming an uncanny balance between control and surrender.A bold statement on authorship, automation and abstraction —-Computer Series / Last Run closes Synalegg’s exploration of machine-driven composition.

Each side of the record contains its own nuances on the dark, unnerving, and erratic pace of the original track. Dev/Null and Tim Reaper bring a spaced-out pairing of intricately designed fast-paced breaks and stripped-back gloomy reese basslines, neatly punctuated by loosely off-beat stabs swimming in delay and reverb.

READ > https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-black-point-recursive American producer James Cook has quietly built a reputation for unhurried yet deeply considered electronic music. First appearing on Greta Cottage Workshop back in 2013 with his debut CD album 'Sleep Deep, Mountain King' and later stepping out under his Black Point alias for two vinyl releases on Cologne’s revered Out To Lunch, Cook’s productions have always carried a sense of clarity and patience.Long-time readers may remember that in July 2020 we published IA MIX 336 Black Point, a revealing mix and interview that offered insight into both his background in music and production techniques. That mix hinted at the directions he would later explore, and 'EP 2' issued through Tokyo-based @format-records (pronounced "format"), extends that trajectory - gathering fragments of the past decade into a finely detailed four tracker.

Feeling like a monochrome drift of processed resonance, the piece unfolds like a ghostly transmission filtered through decaying tape. Celestial resonances blur into low-end rumbles, choirs flicker beneath distant bells, drifting away memories of a past life.

Arpeggios crawl like illuminated wounds, while distant flames crackle in the periphery of consciousness. Somewhere between a techno requiem and a post-industrial dirge, 'Un rai de feu' feels less like a song and more like a relic unearthed from a civilisation that no longer speaks.@dot-als
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-the-nghbr-get-downVilnius-based record label Good Skills resurface with the tightly coiled missile 'I Know Where You Live', the debut EP from long-standing Lithuanian production duo THE NGHBR$...The standout is 'Get Down’, a dysto-funk detonation set at 135 BPM, ducking between blown-out kicks and bleeps. This is a mutant electro transmission with all its wires exposed. Synth arpeggios stutter like corrupted transmissions, while low-end pressure sweeps through like a data breach. If there’s an alien dancefloor transmitting from an encrypted satellite, 'Get Down' might be the soundtrack.@goodskills@the-nghbrs

Glitchy sonar pings and faint whale-song arpeggios swirl around 90s house drum programming, while the original vocal hook is warped into a spectral mantra for dancers lost in the fog. It’s both a call to arms and a slow dissolve into club catharsis.@iamcarista@cromby@sallycberlin

Shuttle peels back the skin of the original and reveals a stroboscopic skeleton: submerged bass pulses, neon-lit pads evaporating into the void and machine rhythms spun tight like quantum clockwork. It’s trance not as genre, but as state. Bells echo in distant gravity wells, flickering like lighthouses of a civilisation long submerged. Somewhere between a lost orbital rave and a ritual in the ruins of deep space, where collective euphoria and solitary drift are two sides of the same cosmic coin.@marco_shuttle@cosmicwaverecords@anechoic_music

INTERVIEW + TRACKLIST > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/wrecked-lightshipFollowing the release of their second album last year, Adam Winchester and Laurie Osborne return as Wrecked Lightship on Peak Oil with their latest album 'Drained Strands', opening the hallowed doors of their submarine to all types of distorted fantasies.As the name suggests, @wreckedlightship carries fractured memories of vessels forgotten in vast expanses, from the sea and beyond. The weight of their work conjures images of desolate landscapes beyond human reach, yet their invitation into this sonic vision becomes a ticket to inhabit the very space of extraterrestrials.'Drained Strands' withholds a kind of extraordinary beauty that is more often felt than heard. This combined performance unit of solo acts Appleblim & Wedge exists in an untethered vortex - one built from scattered electronics and bruised hearts. All of this culminates in IA MIX 392, a studio mix where heavy scores of bass and a plethora of textures, some borrowed and some unheard, bubble together in a melting pot of comfort and disorder.

Named after the windswept city in southern Kazakhstan, the track coils through a glitched-out dreamscape where trance skitters over scorched-earth bass. Searing synths hover like drones on the edge of collapse, while the melody flashes in and out of signal like a memory refusing to fade.

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-vani-vachi-coded-fleshSpearheaded by Ukrainian producer Vani Vachi a new imprint emerges out of Berlin. VVREX is a freshly-coined platform dedicated to emotional futurism and genre-resistant tracks...Our pick from the release, 'Coded Flesh', is a prime distillation of that duality: a noir-lit rave hymn crafted from bone-dry drum programming, haunted vocal fragments and flickering synths that glisten like oil on asphalt. As tension coils and snaps, the voice hovers like a breath on cold glass, half-human, half-machine, narrating a comedown from some distant dystopia. 'Coded Flesh' feels like an invocation, a whispered manifesto that is impossible to ignore.@vvrex@vanivachi

Anchored by a rolling four-to-the-floor rhythm and buoyed by ascending pads, the track invokes a spiritual kind of club euphoria. Smeared vocal snippets float like candle smoke above disco-laced chords and basslines that whisper rather than shout. It's a ritual in groove, crafted not for the drop but for the glide.@joyfull-family@flexicuts_wax

Nite Fleit takes the reins on ‘P13’, delivering a subaqueous refix that sounds like pirate radio from a submerged future. Opening with what can only be described as amphibian Morse code, Nite Fleit builds a gelatinous electro groove around flickering breakbeats and refracted arpeggios. Glitches dart like drones over decaying cityscapes, while a worming sub bass tunnels through the debris of collapsed genre. It’s high-tempo dystopia with a heart rate monitor thump.@o_welle@nitefleit@cloudcreaked

It’s dance music for a planet spinning out of sync where dubby reverb chambers meet synthetic plains, and each drop threatens to tear a steel-made floor open.@siliconerecords@igadimusic

Balancing modular weight with melodic restraint, Kolkata-based duo conjures a track that slinks between deep electro and broken techno with surgical precision.

It’s the kind of slow-burning cut that would feel equally at home in a darkened warehouse in Bangalore as in a 5AM Berlin sweatbox.@hybrid-protokol

It’s a chaotic opera of post-club dramaturgy, where trap’s rattling percussion meets the oil-slick throb of industrial bass. Think Slikback tangled in a resonant hallucination, lit only by the glow of firewall breaches and strobes.@user-4605437@phononcrew

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-afm-kamui-effectBarcelona-based record label Adepta unveil ‘Sleek Vibra’, a dystopian missive from Rome-based producer Alessandro Gramaccioni, operating under the cryptonym AFM...Our pick, ‘Kamui Effect’, opens with a scrambled polyphony of laser-guided distress signals and shortwave interference, as if intercepted from a rogue satellite in psychic orbit. What follows is a hyperventilated stutter of metallic percussions and spasmodic low-end sequences, sound architecture for dancefloors warped by fever dreams. A harp flickers in and out like a ghost in the circuitry, while distant male voices echo through steel ducts. Nervous and high-functioning, it feels like an artefact from a club night that never ended, or perhaps never began. Grainy, cerebral, and gloriously unstable, this one’s tailor-made for heads seeking sanctuary at the edges.@alew-1@adepta

A ceremonial rinse of warm analog textures and bubbling synthetics, this one’s custom-built for those heady, between-time club moments where gravity loosens and limbs float.@stratasonic

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-wtns-griddleParis-based producer and vocalist WNTS delivers 'vidéal', her latest extended player, a beguiling 4-track exploration that collides experimental intricacies and shimmering trip-hop...Opener, 'Griddle', stands out as an ethereal braindance manifesto for the restless mind. The track opens with a molten surge of ceremonial drums, quickly submerging the audience into a wave of spectral arpeggios that shimmer above a pulsing, nearly sentient rhythm... WNTS whispers into the void, her voice a haunted guide through a glitch-laden soundscape where twisted FX textures churn like distorted fragments of an otherworldly conversation. It’s as though the track is both a meditative healing and a disorienting dream, held together by the sticky tension of digital decay.@wtnsmusic
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-deepak-sharma-dsc028Hidden Recordings, NYC-based underground emissary of full-throttle techno return with a bruising triple threat: 'DSC028-DSC030', the latest dispatch in Deepak Sharma’s ongoing DSC series...Of the trio, 'DSC028' is the eye of the storm. Like a drone swallowed into a Detroit basement, it barrels forward on a rhythm section that resembles a concrete mixer possessed by a ghost in the machine. Kick-drums hit like depth charges while delayed synths ricochet around the mix. A pack of hi-hats carve paths through the haze, while metallic percussion cuts through the density like makeshift tools. It’s bunker techno at its most mercurial, slipping between solid and vapour, haunt and hammer.@deepaksharma_official
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-d-towards-my-mindLondon-based experimental vanguard SORN gear up to drop their fifth artefact ‘Rephlex’, a shape-shifting suite of tracks from the Samara-based alchemist d. towärds...For our premiere, we zoom in on ‘my mind’ - a woozy descent into percussive mirage and psychoacoustic trickery. The track opens with slippery, delay-drenched drums that slither like AI serpents in a low-gravity ritual. Hiss-stained textures ripple in the periphery, while submerged low-end pressure keeps things anchored to the earth’s core, or at least somewhere beneath it. As the piece evolves, it mutates into a chrome-dipped hybrid of electro and ancient drone, suggesting the breath of unseen biomechanical fauna roaming deep, moss-cloaked networks. Listening feels like stumbling across a buried satellite still transmitting emotional code, flickering with the echoes of something once human.@d-towards
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-tarez-maneige-outroContinuing their steady drip-feed of artefacts hovering somewhere between spectral ritual and lucid dreaming, Paris-based record label Ma 間 reveal 'Sortir la tête d'une pierre', the forthcoming release from multi-disciplinary producer Tarez...Our pick is ‘Maneige (Outro)’ - a crystalline epilogue that gently dissolves the boundary between hallucination and memory. Opening with a delicate kalimba motif refracted like light through glacial crevices, the piece blossoms into a slow cascade of serene arpeggios and breathy timbral gestures. It conjures a frozen realm where a celestial dragon lies asleep beneath tectonic plates - its presence felt only in the warmth that mysteriously rises from the ice.@tarezzz@ma-recordings-612904938
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-rico-casazza-remind-me-pls-ambient-versionStill glowing from the celestial afterburn of their ‘Sailing To Valinor’ compilation, Prague-based imprint Moving Pictures return to the radar with another evocative transmission ‘Climax’, a five-part mind sculpture from London-based producer Rico Casazza...But it’s Casazza’s own ambient recast of ‘Remind me pls’ that truly levitates off the tracklist. Ditching the grid for a free-floating drift, the reinterpretation unfurls like an abandoned love letter on a space station console. Swells of melancholic synth stretch across low-pressure bass currents, while ghosted whispers flicker like dying satellites. Time dissolves into mood, and spectral soundscapes becomes a carrier wave for emotion only half-remembered, an audio séance carved for the soft machinery of the heart.@ricocasazza@movpic
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-yeyo-memory-oceanEmerging from a mirage of lucid dreams, Kazakh-based record label soak return with their third full-length release, 'farewell the past', a haunting artefact of ambient and experimental electronics from Saint Petersburg-based sound sculptor yeyo.@yeyomf@soaku
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-globemaster-irritilasSeven years deep into the belly of the beast, Vienna-based Belly Dance Services return with a globe-spanning exercise. Their latest V/A enlists eight world-class producers for a jet-lagged journey through modular mischief and transcontinental club psychedelia. It's less a compilation, more a clandestine meeting of audio agents plotting a reroute of global frequencies...For our premiere, we shine a light on Globemaster’s 'Irritilas' – a slow-motion chugger that feels like it’s been smuggled out of some sacred dance ceremony deep in the Sierra Madre. Built at a slo mo 110 BPM pace, it slinks through your psyche with rubbery bass, ritualistic percussion and arpeggios that glisten like morning dew on obsidian. The breakdown hits like hallucinatory visions, conjuring forgotten myths and almost-extinct cultures via a sequencer of infectious arpeggios.@globemastermx@bellydanceservices
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-poly-chain-elisivBerlin-based imprint Lightronics kick off their schedule with a full-length album of experimental club sounds and post-ambient textures from label boss Sasha Zakrevska aka Poly Chain...Standout track, ‘Elisiv’, unfolds like a signal sent from a dark, concrete fuelled future. With ultra-filtered hi-hats slicing through a sea of warped arpeggios and fragmented bass, the track pulls the listener into an oppressive, sweat-soaked underworld. The echoes of a long-forgotten queen, Elisiv of Kiev, reverberate through the synths as the track morphs into an all-consuming ritual - twisting, morphing and spiralling through snare-less breakbeats and dissonant bass.@poly-chain-lightronics
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-rodman-the-flockCluster Traxx continue to push boundaries with the arrival of 'Birds of Paradise', the latest offering from Mexican producer Rodrigo Gutiérrez aka RodMan...For our premiere, we’ve picked 'The Flock', a track that unfurls like a sentient, cosmic gathering sent to twist your mind. It’s a stratospheric flight through warped, bird-like echoes from creatures dwelling on distant planets. The beat’s breakneck pace slices through the atmosphere, like a laser-guided sequence of spacey vocals and trance-kissed arpeggios. From the first kick, you’re thrown into a hypnotic vortex - percussive tension builds like a slow, deliberate drag through quicksand, each rhythm pulling you deeper into the void. The second minute brings a sudden shift - distorted lasers collide in a brutal solo, before the track erupts in a chaotic maelstrom of slithering synths and infectious polyrhythms, ensuring that 'The Flock' is a ritual for the senses, not just the body.@rodmanmx@clustertraxx
READ > https://inverted-audio.com/wetdogg-pssssssp-hold-me-recordings/Marking her first physical release, Detroit-based producer @wetdogg joins Hold Me, the label of Manuel Gonzales (@mgun) and Ryan Spencer, to issue her debut album ‘pssssssp…‘ – an experimental wormhole of downtempo, electronica and leftfield pop.Using the primitive technology of the password journal (often marketed to little girls to keep their secrets) Wetdogg uses the idea of the password journal to imagine a utopia free of the surveillance state in her album pssssssp…Sounding similar to the output of the now defunct yet highly acclaimed Miami-based experimental record label Merck, particularly in the case of ‘Pistachio Island‘ album by ilkae, Wetdogg employs a medley of hardware to weave and manipulate a variety of synths, drum beats, textures and vocals into 10 intriguing and unconventional tracks sitting somewhere between the lines of James K, HTRK and Lolina.
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-rando-arand-fiber-optic-cableSince its inception, Estonian imprint Liitheli has stood as a magnet for Baltic-bound adventurers of sound, channeling a distinctly off-centre sensibility. Their latest transmission comes from Tallinn-based polymath Rando Arand, whose latest opus ‘Child of the Internet’ feels like a conceptual USB stick plugged into the subconscious of Gen Z’s neural hard drive...Our spotlight turns to ‘Fiber-Optic Cable’, one of the album’s quietly euphoric outliers, a breakbeat meditation slathered in hi-res shimmer and digitised longing. Here, Arand spins a thread between IDM ambient kinetics and post-Myspace bedroom aesthetics. Snare ghosts and pixelated pads swim through a warm synthetic haze, while melodies glitch and refract like reflections in a cracked smartphone screen. It’s a track that captures the flickering intimacy of being online at 3AM, with no one else awake but your browser history and the hum of the router.@randoarand
FEATURE > https://inverted-audio.com/feature/dj-warzone-florian-kupfer-natural-sciencesAlex Hall’s Manchester-based record label, @NATURALSCIENCES, celebrates its 10-year anniversary next month with the release of the fifth instalment of Embryo—a box set that bridges the imprint’s DIY punk-electronics roots with the '80s tape scene, Ukraine’s dungeon rap movement, and the contemporary underground.The collection features a 22-track compilation showcasing artists such as Crawl of Time, Ineffable Slime, Iggor Cavalera, DJ Sacred, Mutant Joe, Mars89, Quiet Husband, and Svartvit. It also includes an EP from DJ Warzone—highlighted by a collaboration with Florian Kupfer—alongside a 7” featuring unreleased 1989 recordings from Osiris and SEEMEN, now pressed to vinyl for the first time.A standout from the release, DJ Warzone’s contribution to Embryo immediately caught our attention, delivering raw, speaker-shredding DIY techno with an unhinged, roughneck energy. His collaboration with Florian Kupfer is an undeniable highlight, which we are delighted to premiere.Ahead of the drop, Natural Sciences founder Alex Hall caught up with Austrian producer DJ Warzone to find out more about the origins of his release, their affinity for Basic Channel, and his affinity for the abrasive sonics championed by Endangered Species, L.I.E.S. Records, and LA Club Resource.
READ > https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-shine-grooves-dancing-with-alina Russian producer Andrey Kurokhtin returns to American record label Not Not Fun in May with 'Sequences for Fluttering', his latest offering as @shine-grooves. Described as "a 54-minute voyage through synthetic woodwinds, cosmic electronica, ASMR breakbeat, new age glitch, and glassy orchestral abstractions." Our pick is "Diving With Alina", an IDM-laced stunner that would fit perfectly on a new edition of the Artificial Intelligence series.
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-kizi-404-balayette-laserReleased earlier this month, 'No Future 4 M.O.F.Os' saw Lyon-raised, now Montreal-embedded producer Kizi 404 navigate the electro slipstream with radical precision...The standout is opening track ‘Balayette Laser’. A sonic Molotov, crash-landing at 158 BPM in a no man’s land of spectral bass, acid and rapid-fire cowbell. Skewered arpeggios, tense, flickering - recall forgotten constellations swirling above a dancefloor. Vocals flit in like pirate radio signals from a submerged resistance. The revolution may not be televised, but it sure as hell has a sick beat.@kizi404
INTERVIEW + TRACKLIST > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/earthen-seaFor the 390th edition of the IA MIX Series we are thrilled to share a deep dive into jazzy neo-noir ambience from American producer Jacob Long, aka Earthen Sea.Currently based in New York City, Long is a DIY lifer, with over twenty years dedicated to Earthen Sea's wide range of sounds from long-form noise and drone recordings, minimal dub techno, and ethereal ambient experimentation. Long spent his early musical years in the Washington, D.C. hardcore group Black Eyes, before heading to San Francisco with bandmate Daniel Martin-McCormick to work with Damon Palermo on Mi Ami.While all three members branched off into their own solo electronic projects (Ital/Relaxer for Martin-McCormick and Magic Touch for Palermo), Long's work as Earthen Sea originated in the early 2000s. It began with longer experiments in drone and ambient before morphing into the icy dub techno many came to know from releases on Kranky and Lover's Rock.Recent LPs, such as 2024's Recollection, have veered to ambient, dub, and jazz-influenced tracks that consistently deliver the goods. For his mix, Earthen Sea offers an exhilarating combination of gamelan recordings, jazz, and dub techno. You will find it an ideal companion for your morning coffee or a night drive through empty, foggy cities. We also got to catch up with Jacob and learn about reuniting with Black Eyes, how recent live sets have incorporated saxophone driven drones, and his life-long love of skateboarding.
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-mndset-cyrrca-we-are-free-the-magus-project-remixFollowing the flickering trails of their genre-fluid catalogue, Broadway East Sound Tank continue to defy cartography with ‘Patchwurk: The Love Stitch Remix’, a six-track bundle of high-tension recalibrations from the ever-mutating duo Mndset & CYRRCA...Our pick is The Magus Project’s reimagination of ‘We Are Free’, a track that flirts with UK garage nostalgia before diving headfirst into a noir-drenched hyperspace. Opening with snare hits dipped in mercury delay, the remix spirals into a polyrhythmic cascade - UKG groove meets tectonic low-end, all wrapped in a cocoon of tension-soaked arpeggios. CYRRCA’s vocal arrives like an AI oracle mid-breakdown, warped and stretched, hovering just above the chaos. The result feels like a lucid rave memory on fast-forward.@james-serviceav@broadway_east_sound_tank
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-daniel-savio-reverse-cowgirlAs their catalogue takes shape in elegantly minimal strokes, Finnish imprint Elektorni locks in its third release with 'Noel Skum', a characteristically unorthodox dispatch from Stockholm-based analog-funk laureate Daniel Savio...‘Reverse Cowgirl’ feels like a love letter to late-night motel epiphanies and outer-body dancefloor mechanics. A tactile jam of dubbed-out bass slithers and cheeky percussive syncopation, it fuses vintage synth erotica with space-echo recursion. The kind of track that beams Balearic sunlight onto PVC headboards, and transforms even the most contorted of movements into sacred rituals of electro-organic revelation.@elektorni@danielsavio

READ > https://inverted-audio.com/indopan-shore-ellipsis-ft-elaine-howley Following 2023's cassette 'Yupana', Andrew Morrison delivers Indopan's latest album, 'In Opulence', via @100percentsilk, "a 70-minute suite of jazzy kinetics, lysergic breaks, and dusted swing". Our pick "Shore Ellipsis", is a hazy, kinetic slice of techno, the track soars on skittering beats, wobbly synths, and Elaine Howley's vocals taking it to the next level.
READ > https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-patioworld-spider/California dance imprint @100percentsilk kick off 2025 with a new addition to their roster. Berkeley-based producer Benjy Toczynski has put out a handful of digital tracks under the Patioworld moniker, and now he's teaming up with Silk for the project's debut physical release.From the opening notes, 'Moonlight Beach' has the classic 100% Silk sound, as every track drifts across the sky with neon-lit house and warehouse IDM. Toczynski's aesthetic feels warm and lived in, where even on the first listen you feel as if you're revisiting an old favourite.
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-dj-sofa-drums-for-the-lost-siu-mata-remixBeat Machine Records prime the release of 'Swinging Flavors #14', the latest single from Helsinki-based producer DJ Sofa...The single is punctuated by a turbo-charged remix from Paris-based producer Siu Mata, whose take on 'Drums For The Lost' reimagines the track as a swirling dystopian vortex. Mata’s version is a vibrant collision of fractured, restless breaks and otherworldly echoes, drawing inspiration from the scattered whispers of post-dubstep club spaces. The track pulses with an almost sacred intensity, drifting through UFO atmospheres as haunted, far-off rhythms spiral in the distance. It’s as if the ghostly hum of a metropolis underground transit system has been transformed into an engine of rhythmic chaos, its neoperreo-informed percussion sending shockwaves through the track's orbit, catapulting it into a jagged, dazzling dance of fractured beats.@siumata@beatmachinerecords@djsofajunglist
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-ermete-2900′n-1344′w-i-ii-iiiMilan-based record label 51 Beats return with 'Ermete,' an electrifying EP from Italian producer Ermete...Our pick form the album is ‘29°00′N 13°44′W (I-II-III).’ A breathtaking 23-minute voyage, this track invites the audience into a vast, unsettling world of shifting drones and rumbling oscillations, exploring the raw geological undercurrents beneath the Caldera Del Corazoncillo (Canary Islands). Opening with slow-breathing, high-voltage bass arpeggios that stretch the boundaries of tension, it simulates the fragile crust of molten lava inching across the mountain's skin. As the journey unfolds, layers of complex, bubbling drones form a cinematic soundscape, evoking a post-apocalyptic tableau where the earth, in all its power and desolation, surpasses the remnants of human civilisation.@51beats@ermete-243571024
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-martin-glass-interstellar-discoCalifornia-based producer Martin Glass returns with 'The Interstellar Music of Martin Glass', his fourth album on London-based Kit Records...Our pick, ‘Interstellar Disco’, is a free fall into zero gravity. Glass' use of intricate boogie drum programming morphs the groove into a potent dancefloor séance. Bass sways like distant satellites, arpeggios stretch and crackle like a mirage, while shimmering synths and spectral chants spiral outwards, calling to something ancestral, something beautifully broken at the centre of the universe.@martinglass-music@kitrecords

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-iris-forest-anywhere-i-go-ghosts-are-following-meToday, Berlin-based label WAAGE unleash 'Anywhere I Go, Ghosts Are Following Me', the latest single from Ukrainian producer Iris Forest...From the moment 'Anywhere I Go, Ghosts Are Following Me' unfurls, it feels like a necromantic ritual, summoning the spirits of past trauma, threading them into spectral arpeggios. It’s like trying to reconstruct a forgotten history from scraps of fog and static. By the third minute, the tension begins to breathe - dense, choking as drones twist and writhe, pulling the audience deeper into the dystopian dream. A polyphony of tainted textures emerges slowly, like faint glimmers of light on a long-forgotten horizon, teasing a future where the ghosts might finally find peace.@waagerecords@irisforest

A relentless pulse of breaks crashes through a thick layer of synths and distorted echoes, conjuring the feeling of diving into a submerged digital landscape. As the track builds, it morphs into a frenetic climax of jagged industrial breaks and deep-rooted bass, evoking an ethereal voyage that stretches beyond the fabric of time. It's a striking blend of the cerebral and the visceral, encapsulating a blend of emotional depth and energy.@agilitaet@circular_square@10-60-hz

Here, Tropikal Camel submerges the audience into a vortex of mysticism, where ancient rites are unspooled and recombined amidst a dizzying expanse of metallic, hyper-digital realms. Polyrhythmic currents weave through the track’s disorienting labyrinth, morphing with relentless fluidity into a trance-inducing anthem - a spiralling tornado of sandy futurism. A fractured, disjointed rhythm interlocks with elastic melodies, while expansive, stretched atmospherics scorch the earth beneath, as if setting the planet’s crust ablaze with each pulsating beat.@tropikalcamel@tribakrecords

It's a track that both unsettles and invites, as carefully layered percussion and deep-rooted kick-drums carve through the atmosphere, while Volantis’ slithering, acid-bent basslines snake their way through the mix. Chiming cowbells and warped synth signals pull this remix deeper into the unknown, where FX-laden samples and growing tension guide the listener on an elusive ascent, riding the rails of an uncharted consciousness.@alzaya@volantis_it@djedenburns

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-fille-thistles-clouzer-remixBerlin-based imprint Distant Gaze sharpen their sonic gaze with 'Thistles', the sophomore single from Sofia-based producer and vocalist Fille, heralding the arrival of her forthcoming full-length album...Our pick from the release, Clouzer’s rework of 'Thistles', descends into a dreamstate of breaks slithering through space-echoed caverns. As the tension unravels, arpeggios sprout like thorn-covered flora in barren landscapes, their synthetic glow pulsing in the metropolis. Unfolding at 130 BPM, the track mutates into a high-speed dance of spectral entities.@clouzer@fille_music@distant-gaze
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-borokov-borokov-if-this-is-the-title-of-this-track-youd-better-listen-to-a-bob-dylan-songMarking their tenth release, Brussels-based Magma Records line up a feverish transmission from Antwerp-based production duo Borokov Borokov...Our pick, 'If This Is The Title Of This Track You'd Better Listen To A Bob Dylan Song', launches into a cosmos of machine-made psychedelia. Ultra-sculpted arpeggios ripple through space-delay tunnels, their resonant snares colliding in a slow-motion implosion. As warped harp squawks flutter over semi-disco bass oscillations, the track unravels like a surrealist fever dream - an ecstatic descent into mechanical delirium, where every echo is a distant whisper from a forgotten paradise.@borokovborokov@magma-collective

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-somne-requestMilan-based record label Aura Dinamica set the stage for 'New Energy', a brooding album from Italian producer Federico Maccherone aka Somne...Our pick, 'Request', beckons listeners toward the fragmented edges of UK Garage, dancing between post-industrial breaks, spectral arpeggios and eerie interludes. It’s a track that breathes in real-time, pulling its audience into a fever dream of cascading tension. As the journey unfolds, a tectonic bassline cuts through the haze, propelling the track toward a bold, straight-edge club climax, engineered for the nocturnal unknown.@somne_smn@auradinamica
INTERVIEW + MIX > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/bjarki/ Bjarki Rúnar Sigurðarson is an artist in flux, slipping through definitions as easily as he does genres. His early output on трип suggested a clear trajectory—big-room techno, high-impact, and high-energy. But @bjarki has always been more interested in disruption. He loves veering off the beaten track.Over the past decade, his identity has splintered across at least twenty documented personas (and perhaps some more hidden from the voyeur's view), each serving a vessel for the unpredictable. He functions in a space of humour and unease—shaping music that is erratic, raw, and wholly untamed.And there is a lot of it—keyword: a lot. Bjarki doesn’t just release music; he floods the system. His latest album, 'A Guide to Hellthier Life', is a sharp, satirical dismantling of the wellness guru social media economy, where self-care is commodified and monetised at scale.Stepping up to deliver IA MIX 389, the Icelandic producer extends that same critique—a surreal, self-aware meditation on the absurdity of performative well-being. Dark humour is nothing new for Bjarki, but here, his observations feel more honed, more biting, more necessary.The mix itself is impossible to bracket, moving through states rather than styles—thoughtful, meditative, ridiculous, and deeply melancholic all at once. It’s a trip, in every sense. And, as always with Bjarki, it’s best not to ask where it’s going.
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-amine-laje-enchanteFive years on from their inception, Paris-based record label Rotary Phono Lab prepare to release the long-awaited album from Amine Laje aka Traumer...Our pick for the premiere is opening track 'Enchanté', drifting in like a whispered incantation. Ultra-filtered piano chords shimmer on the brink of ubiquity, as if composed by unseen hands in some ethereal plane. Voices rise in a polyphony of bells, weaving a tapestry that feels like an elegy to forgotten benevolence. It’s a feathery meditation on caged thoughts where love and hope dissolve into a collective yearning, leaving behind only the shadow of their deepest fears.@rotaryphonolab@traumer
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-sofatalk-drum-circleTurkish record label Oath prepare to release their next cosmic dispatch from Rome-based groove scientist SofaTalk. Our pick from the release, ‘Drum Circle’, plunges headfirst into percussive psychedelia, SofaTalk’s drum programming twisting and turning like a Möbius strip of South London-bred syncopation and Mediterranean heatwave. A kinetic lattice of space-dusted samples and bass arpeggios locks into orbit, while spectral vocal echoes ripple through the mix like ghosts of future-disco utopias. A club track for the heads, feet, and spirit alike.@sofa-talk@oathy
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-jung-latch-tensa-violetLondon-based imprint Fragment On Machines prepare to release 'Len Sen', the latest offering from label boss Rupert Galea, aka Jung Latch...Our pick from the release, 'Tensa Violet', spirals into Latch’s mechanical delirium. A semi-metallic thrum of disrupted transmissions and celestial harmonics sets the stage, luring the audience into a labyrinth of ghostly resonances and drone-infused echoes. Stretched-out pulses conjures up a polyphony of shape-shifting oscillations - bubbling synths, punctuated by the skeletal remains of filtered breaks.@junglatch@fragmentonmachines

The EP opens with radiant synths, moves into playful drum work on the second track, and culminates in a poignant, emotionally charged closer. Among the three, 'Andever' shines brightest.

READ > inverted-audio.com/music-video-simon-tranber-brin-de-bruit-feat-jossParis-based sound sculptor Simon Tranber presents his much-anticipated debut EP ‘JNGL XP 93’ under the strobe-lit canopy, freshly out on his imprint Echo Des Cimes. This time, he hands the reins to visual alchemist and analog gear connoisseur Ammar Taibi, who unspools a mesmerising, glitch-drenched pilgrimage, drawing the audience deep into the subterranean realms of the backwoods...Taibi’s video treatment is an all-access pass to a Scandinavian taiga caught mid-metamorphosis, its pine-scented density warping into a delirious, neon-soaked datascape. The protagonist, locked into a peak-time psilocybin surge, hurtles through a dimension where algorithmic flora and pixelated psychedelia collide. Hypnotic fractals flash like high-definition adverts for ego dissolution, teasing the edge of perception.@lajamdecul

Having previously released music as Discoverer, Knocke traded in the meditative synth wave of that project in favour of dancefloor adjacent "afterhours anthems". His last release was the chilly 2019 dub techno leaning 'Midnight'.Described as an "archival grab bag", 'Hilly Blue' offers a compelling set of tracks perfectly suited to the summer heat. Similar to other artists on 100% Silk, Body San's sound isn't quite designed as peak time rave bangers; instead, it is coolly vibed out, expansive electronica that can perfectly soundtrack solo headphone sessions or similarly low key, chill happenings.@body-san@100percentsilk

INTERVIEW + TRACKLIST > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/strategy/American producer @strategydickow steps up to contribute the 382nd edition of the IA MIX Series delivering a stunning chill-out and downtempo podcast for expansive headphone listening.Across a 20-plus year career, and as many releases, Paul Dickow operates at the crossroads of ambient, dub, and electronica. His most recent Strategy album, 'The Wet Room', his 20th album to date, was released in November 2023 via Community Library, the label Paul co-runs with David Chandler. It feels both timeless and of its time, fusing elements of climate anxiety with a heady aura of leftfield sonics.Throughout his discography, Strategy has collaborated with esteemed labels including Kranky, 100% Silk, and Peak Oil, among others, as well as operating his own Community Library imprint, for an output as vast and varied as it is consistently stellar. He's as comfortable crafting hardware-focused, DIY techno as he is spinning long form experimental suites.Strategy's mix is as wide-ranging, unpredictable, and eclectic as his music, spanning Humpbacks, Seefeel, Laurie Spiegel, and Strategy himself. It's an ideal soundtrack for expansive headphone listening or the strangest, grooviest pool party in the neighbourhood. In addition to the mix, we asked Paul all about his history, the Portland music scene, and tour memories.

TRACKLIST + INTERVIEW > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/ia-mix-381-gamma-intelOperating in the neighbourhood of Rotterdam, one of its finest electro technicians @gammaintelligence is a steady and sharp signal in the network of the local Dutch underground. Uninhibited, cerebral-tickling, sound architecture deploys serious craftsmanship honed from meticulously polishing every texture from his singular, chiselled perception of audio design over constructive time.Outside his explosive production unit, Gamma Intel activates the same intellect on any territory, dancefloors or otherwise, spinning oddball hot numbers to make you sweat. A perfectionist by nature, he commits to disruptive, magnetic rhythms, all assembled with a curious mind deliberately free from restraints, forming a hyper-vortex music experience.Rest assured, the trooper Dutchman strikes with sweet bullseye precision on the brand-new treat of an IA MIX 381, hammering sound selections sourced and refined on his laboratory work table. Mechanical whirrs and a barrage of bolstered beats crackle in this tasty execution from Gamma Intel—setting forth a blaze hard to quench. Feel the warmth.
TRACKLIST & INTERVIEW > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/toxido-mask/A Berlin luminary and a serial dreamer DJ and producer, @toxido-mask is known to execute a synaesthetic experience that makes one dissolve on the dancefloor. She keeps it clean, she keeps it lethal, she keeps it transcendental. At her mercy, spine-chilling emissions of mesmeric synths, textural mechanical bleeps, and batting basslines of industrial house and techno merge and corrode to produce the purest form of a musical elixir, a drop of which evades the concept of mortality for a hot minute.The Tresor resident functions within the familiar and injects her beloved smoke-haze, club-influenced sound palette into IA MIX 380, drenching it with interstellar-grade, dubbed-out electronics. Time compresses, an hour whittled to five minutes in the blink of an eye, as Toxido Mask steers the wheel, captaining meticulous beat control and strong-grip storytelling, channelling the crowd toward a single vibration.

TRACKLIST & INTERVIEW > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/ia-mix-379-roni/With @roni_nza, it's almost as if suddenly a storm hit the city one evening, and then she was just about on a flyer everywhere. May it be the exposure to a culturally mixed French-Malaysian upbringing, her poised supremely-femme personality, or the bottomless pit of exhilarating sweat-soaked late-night rendezvous she initiates—all of it exudes an aura that undoubtedly intrigues many.I first stumbled upon RONI's Instagram at the beginning of 2023 via a running order post for a long night of partying in Berlin's RSO, the revered venue formerly known as Griessmühle. Admittedly, I was a bit late to know her, for she was by then a staple in the burgeoning Paris underground, alongside a Rinse FM residency, establishing on-the-go Nehza Records while without-rest populating clubs all over Europe/ Asia as an effervescent touring DJ.RONI's sound curation is rooted in the continuous discovery of herself and her ravers—she ignites a euphoric connection with the crowd through a tense and undulated exchange of energies. A force of nature driving through the thicket, the dance floor swims deep in layers of UK-inspired, bass-heavy, massive-dub heaters, and cherry on top—angelic, shimmery textures for a transcendental surprise.The same applies to the IA MIX 379, curated with much adoration by RONI herself. Pulsating rhythmic structures, machine-gun percussion, and switching tempos serve as a real treat for the journey into the delicate sonic fantasy world behind a fiercely passionate mind - get to know RONI.

@maelstrom drops the hammer down badman style, gracing us with a helluva hour-long sonic trip. Spanning from old-school classics (Dopplereffekt, The Hacker…) to present-time sweat-inducers (Norwell, Morphology, Hermeth…), it’s an angry tsunami of paced up electro madness, untamed acid and wild machine funk that’s heading over. Prepare for impact.

The self in question here isn’t just extended, it’s augmented, twisted and savagely digitalised.

@d-k-music 'Worries In The Dance' cleverly bridges the gap between grimey bass rhythms, '90s-style bleepy robotics and a new age-y kind of downtempo hoodoo, all woven across by a wealth of organic and synthetic samples that feel lifted from some smoke-filled opium den of the Ming era.
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-nconduit-in-the-mood-for-zima-octobers-increased-ph-levels-remix
‘Latent States’ is a solid four tracker featuring three enjoyable solo jams from @nconduit, plus a remix from @october, all built around warm modular warbles, saturated beats and spaced out feedbacks.
INTERVIEW > inverted-audio.com/mix/levon-vincent
When it came to choosing an artist for our 300th podcast, one that would encapsulate the qualities and values we've been looking to share since Inverted Audio was established, the grooves of @levonvincent have been with us since day dot.
Clocking in with a seriously infectious treat of sturdy grooves, feeling chords and tape-echoed goodies, Levon takes us for a much delightful trip down memory lane, deftly manoeuvring betwixt jacking Chicagoan house rhythms, minimalistic tech pulsations and infectious disco meanders. What else could we have possibly asked for? Levon Vincent at the controls, we hope you enjoy the ride.
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-kit-grill-colour-channel
@kitgrill "Colour Channel" is a dazzling groover, produced so clearly it almost elevates the listener into a higher state of consciousness. As the track progresses a weighty bass and kick drum powers in, grounding the listener to the dance floor.
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-juliano-percussion-discovery
Nearly two years since his previous release, French producer Juliano is back with a 12" on Don Williams’ much lauded Mojuba imprint for the release of 'Chanmé' - two spacey, slow burning psychedelic Detroit techno jams.
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-dj-rubio-marlo-my-man-2
DJ Rubio's Western Medicine EP moves assuredly between varied modes and methods, journeying through digitised dub, feather-light techno and somnolent ambient vignettes in the space of only four tracks.
INTERVIEW > inverted-audio.com/mix/e-talking
Packed with the kind of pacey acid swing and hi-energy tribal vibrations that made the 90s rave sound an endless source of inspiration for contemporary producers and DJs, @e_talking debut IA mix makes for a tirelessly impressive hour-long artistic manifesto that keeps on giving, bar after bar, up until the light goes back on and the cleaning staff picks up the torch. An end-to-end banging masterclass.
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-ultra-orlando-voorn-ultra-light
@orlando-voorn ‘Planet Ultra‘ EP @multiplexrecords consists of six classic electro tracks that reference the early UK breakbeat of the 90’s as well as the obvious sci-fi connection. Our pick “Ultra Light” casts the listener into hyperspace, beaming across the galaxy for Kepler-22b soundtracked to a flurry of drums and melody.
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-d-k-going-into-trance
Nearly a year on since the drop of his latest EP, 'Mystery Dub', issued via Music From Memory's offshoot Second Circle, D.K. returns with 'The Goddess Is Dancing' - a thematic five-track cassette for hyperactive French label, Good Morning Tapes.
READ > https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-blint-hiding-in-leaves
A few months after the release of his third solo EP, Berlin-based producer @blintmusik is set to break 2019 in with 'Blint004' - a convincing new slab fusing the hefty thump of classic warehouse-sized 4/4 churners with a straight out filthy Bristolian swagger.
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-andrea-mt
@andreamusik wastes no time - thunderous, thwacking drums get to the point; a mindful bass line and a melody that accentuates all the surrounding elements into a tribalistic dance floor surrender. Out 25 February 2019 via @xcptmusic.
Andrea plays live in London at FOLD x Ilian Tape (16-17 February): http://bit.ly/fold-illian-tickets
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-gheist-somerset-baile-remix
The reworking of 'Somerset' touches upon all of these elements, hearkening back to Fabric 99's big closing track 'Amae'. It is certainly a compilation highlight and sets @last-night-on-earth off on the right foot for the next 100 releases.
READ > https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-sage-caswell-walter-reed-hd
Lifted from his forthcoming LP for @2mrecords, @sagecaswell 'Walter Reed HD' perfectly embodies the album's general sense of diploid on and off-floor dynamics, melding gnarled jungle and house-y tropes with a multi-layered hi-tech imagery.
REVIEW > inverted-audio.com/review/stanley-schmidt-smart-replies
Released on his and DJ Boring’s imprint Vienna @user-486478507, the record is a formal expression of @stanley-schmidt-music creative acumen and a continuation of his flirtation with the golden sounds of yesteryear.
REVIEW > inverted-audio.com/review/howes-cold-storage
With numbered tracks and a succinct title, @john-howes 'Cold Storage' seems without reference, a series of sounds seemingly left to speak for themselves. Yet at its finest moments, the album points towards hidden depths, wells of inchoate meaning that speak volumes without saying anything at all.

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-hans-berg-emerald-sea
Clocking in at just over eight minutes, @hans-berg 'Emerald Sea' plays with convention from the outset, matching the intensity of early 2000s micro-house and building up beautifully into a churning dub-techno epic; meticulously laid-out pads are combined with a sturdy set of rhythms that only ascends higher and higher.
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-nicuri-i-95_high
@nicuri “I-95_HIGH” is the sound of a stoned night-time drive, headlamps flicking past under a wide and starlit sky. It also emits a similar sound to Dettinger's, almost 20-year old track 'Untitled 7' featured on 'Oasis' LP.
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-realitycheck-the-signal-vip-dub
@realitycheck-4 returns to his French home base with ‘Blank‘ – a much solid four-track package of his signature non-formulaic, cross-bred floor ordnance; fusing stop-and-go junglism, altered tech wares, liquid dubs, Bristolian-inherited bass moves and other old-school-friendly breaksy rave patterns.
INTERVIEW + TRACKLIST > inverted-audio.com/mix/reza-athar
@rezaathar serves up a polyamorous blender of styles and tempo, steering far, far away from the no-nonsense 4/4 galaxy to settle halfway guitar-strewn psychedelia, kosmische-informed keyboard motifs, tribal jams and cross-pollinated ’80s synth-pop and exotica hybrids.
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-rudolf-c-deep-sea-survivor
@rudolf-c returns to @x-kalay with 'Deep Sea Survivor' - a sweeter than sweet quartet of laid-back but dancefloor-optimised jams folded in monoi-scented pacific flavours. One to sip your mojito to and dream away to idyllic places.
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-intimacy-sunken-cathedral
Intimacy continues his ever-expanding sonic universe with his 'Tracks From The Myst' EP, which sees him linking up with London-based label Tomahawk - a fitting pair considering the label’s own penchant for strong imagery.
READ > inverted-audio.com/stream-two-cuts-from-next-cherushii-minerva-body-san-releases-on-100-silk
'This Must Be The Place' is a blissed-out trip across neon-lit canopies, concrete vines and an endless horizon of glassy skylines, where proportions and gravity have lost all practical significance.
READ > inverted-audio.com/stream-two-cuts-from-next-cherushii-minerva-body-san-releases-on-100-silk
'Sundress Beverage' oozes a fragrant mix of addictive machine funk, laid-back Tesla jazz and hypnotic waves of post-Italo synthy textures to keep the groove going. Smooth as velvet on a baby's freshly talced butt, yet laser cut for slack but possibly dynamic after-party reboots, this one's a well-groomed springtime doozy.
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-s-s-s-s-stripped
@gewissheit ‘Stripped’ quickly escalates from the absence of rhythm to the absence of space, suffocating the ears with rattling and furious drums sliding over the noisy lead, whilst LFO and audio panning generate a vertiginous feeling.
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-bass-clef-neon-joy-threads
“neon joy threads“, is built on a clatter of what sound like heavily filtered drums, the percussion here acting as texture as much as a beat. Elastic lead lines dominate, but they’re periodically mangled before pinging back into place. The form might be experimental, but the effect is always one of playfulness over arthouse aloofness.
INTERVIEW > inverted-audio.com/feature/in-perspective-italian-producer-nicolo-talks-up-debut-hmz004-ep-on-homemadezucchero
We sat back with Italian producer @nicolowiththeaccent @homemadezucchero to discuss a wide array of matters, from his beginnings in DJing to the deeply evocative facet of his music, through the influence of Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock on his craft.
INTERVIEW > inverted-audio.com/mix/eszaid
Following the release of his second album 'Eurosouvenir' @collapsing-market, it is our great pleasure to welcome Eszaid to our mix series, as he steps up with over an hour-long of harsh dungeon beats, jagged anti-techno and so-called leftfield swerves.
READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-russian-chandeliers-kosmonauten-aceed
Russian Chandeliers “Kosmonauten Aceed” @samorecords is a discordant dance floor romper that keeps afloat amongst an industrious structure; steadying a beat that builds alongside an ear worm of a acid bassline, caked with carefully-placed claps and krautrock klaxons that will inject some life onto the dance floor at any given situation.
READ > https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-maelstrom-blue-stamp
Across five cuts of frenzied electronics passed through the lo-fi grill, @maelstrom new ‘Detection‘ EP for @privatepersons navigates on sight between a straight out UR-nurtured electro pulse and a faded, breaks-strewn nostalgia akin to that of the Den Haag school.
READ > https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-s-channel-distant-shores
Exploring lushly-textured ambient tableaux in all their breadth and depth, @soulchannel delivers a vibrant atmospheric piece on @freundderfamilie that's both grounded in organicity and largely ethereal, unshackled from all sense of gravity-enslaved materiality to better reach higher spiritual spheres.
INTERVIEW > inverted-audio.com/mix/chafik-chennouf
Chafik Chennouf heads up the uncompromising @leylarecords and straddles the increasingly familiar verticals of DJ, producer and label owner. An approach that we could all learn from in 2019. Of course, music paints a million words, so we took the opportunity to draft in Chafik to provide a mix to showcase his sound and share a rare selection of words.

READ > https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-december-intervention-tune
Packed with his idiosyncratic fusion of epileptic EBM grooves, ruffneck industrial and nasty acid stabs, @decemberxxx new record for @pinkmanrecords joins the dots between various ’80s-90s no-wave to proto-tech acts like Cabaret Voltaire, Die Form and Unit Moebius, elaborating its own formula out of schizophrenic aesthetic entanglements.
INTERVIEW > inverted-audio.com/mix/beige
Recorded at Positive Education festival in Paris, @beigebeige mix naturally reflects the broad-mindedness, fun-loving wit and unquenchable zip of his live approach, colliding the distant realms of GAS, SpaceGhostPurrp, Toulouse Low Trax and more for a hell of a multi-layered downtempo trip into steep sonic terrains.

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-levon-vincent-cake-1
"Cake 1" is one of @levonvincent more abstract works. This mid-tempo slow-burner has a woozy, psychedelic feel that recalls RAMZi or Jon Hassell, as elements appear and recede unexpectedly over the course of its eight-minute runtime.
