The music isn't.

Babz

Woosh. Babz steps correctly as the light fades. The duskiest minimal swill of subaltern electro-fied tweakers. Something haunted, mystic, swirling around gently evolving grooves. Like one continual interplay between head and body through lightly progressive mutations of the organic and the machine. Joey Beltram, Brahma, Andrea Merea. It’s very, very good. Big tip.

Healing Potions w/ Silvers

Healing Potions part two from Silvers. Summons of the abyssal. The gentle dance of something faintly human amongst the morass. Through the fog, gentle low-end aggression and the faintest rhythmic touch. The scatter of cymbals in one singular, winding, hedonic descent via bits from Al Wootton, Hole in One, etc. Tip!

Kairavi

Serious one this. Kairavi on that floaty minimal-adjacent tip. Terminal groove type stuff. Melchior, Beltram, Francis lighting up an hour long swill met somewhere between loungebound 10 minute foot shufflers and tech-house’s coastal enclaves. Southern-summer-soundtracking. Wicked. Tip!

Lasås Edvin

Swirly technical prog from Lasås Edvin to see out the evening. A good through line of that squelcher-funk stuff mixed with 2k tech-house grit and splashes of winding progressive charm. A handshake between man and android. Includes bits from Dav, Philip Chernikov, and Alexi Delano. Proper!

Mikael P

Mikael P comes through with intent to open up Friday’s proceedings. An hour of formative cuts of late 70s and 80s Korean psych rock, funk, and soul. An early cosmic character; almost folkish. Summons loose hall dances to the outer reach with foundational bits from the likes of Kim Choo Ja, the Yoon Soo II Band, and Dick Family. Tip!

Nesa Azadikhah

Fine tuned deep-techno restraint from Nesa Azadikhah on the penultimate. Sonic grains on wider ambient paths. Rhythm centric, subtlety in groove. Delicate flashes of flavour, something bright. Aspirational maybe. Funked and steppy at times, blissed out and cyclical others. Malin Genie to Kerri Chandler and Marco Cassanelli. Slick one.

Our Soundtrack

Our Soundtrack. Music for the collective, songs for the human experience. Funked up gliding fusions of lounge, disco, fu-jazz, proto-house. Astral and firmly rooted in perfect tandem. Feel good booters from start to finish from Lalo Schifrin to Peaking Lights, The Diansonics and co. Tip!

Sakena's w/ Sakena & Hamraz Bayan

Sakena’s returns with Sakena at the helm inviting Hamraz Bayan. From Googoosh a la Iranian funk to Soviet state-led publications and freewheeling orchestration to Anatolian rock, a walk and talk through 20th century music from the world over. A hybrid fusion of styles and places from Barış Manço to Kati Kovács and Doris Duke. Essential!

Sound Dome b2b Crisco

So expands the realm. A subaltern melancholia. Progressive nostalgia, if such a misnomer is to exist. Tweaked analogue cycles is the method, early acid synthesis driven forth by some ghost in the machine. The conclusion of a long inebriated meeting between tech-house and progressive trance’s wigged out cousins. Balances the new school and the old. Volodymyr Gnatenko, Pletnev, Moonface, Kurilo. List goes on. Proper! Tip.

All Dayer Crew

Cap-R-Radio winders from All Dayer Crew to ease in the weekend. A descriptive hands-off glide through roots and dub up through jùjú, ambi-jazz, italo, funk, breakbeat, it goes on and on. Slick cuts up the walls. Maxed out fusion of human and analogue essences. Links the Chosen Brothers to Future Sound of London’s ‘Papua New Guinea’. Hi-Tek soul indeed, excellent stuff. TIP!
