INTERVIEW > inverted-audio.com/mix/jonas-friedlich

Since surfacing two years ago on @moltenmoods - @jonasfriedlich 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.

@kemback is a Berlin-based producer, selector, violinist, teacher, and sound designer whose music is rooted in house and techno but often treads into the weird and wonderful worlds of jazz, soul, folk, and blues. With such a diverse musical background behind him, his latest EP 'Moving Through Clouds' is every bit exquisite as you’d think.

After a detour via Moody Records last year, @lehult's main operator @luckycharmzofficial steps up on his label again with 'Failing Upwards', a fine new instalment packed with the kind of laid-back heat that'll help break ice on the dancefloor and beyond.

@violet "Antifa Beats" is a lush roller; its rough-n-tumble breaks are only matched by its delicate chord progressions and moody synth lines; providing a saccharine-tinged jump-start for dancefloor adventurers at any time.

@steffi_official "Mantamix" is a wild ride starting off ominously whilst trickling gracefully into the meat of track, a thwacking rhythm section full of propulsive percussion and methodical melodic pacing that is perfect for any party looking for a bit of "oomph" to add to the proceedings.

"Nari" reportedly features four MCs (Abyusif, Mado $am, Abanob, and R-Rhyme), but you wouldn’t guess it: @zulimusic sliced, warped and recombined their disembodied contributions into a wondrously abstract tapestry of manipulated vocalisation, draped around a devastating beat and resulting in something that sounds a bit like an ’04 grime banger heard through a busted shortwave radio.

INTERVIEW + MIX > inverted-audio.com/mix/arad/

Following our music video premiere of Arad's 'Inti' on Bedouin Records, we drafted @darasmith 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.

Nonetheless 'Thanksgiving' is an off-piste killer fuelled by a maverick downbeat streak. A murky arpeggio restlessly permeates the track with slow-release hypnosis, messing up with your circadian rhythm and melding the borders between consciousness and the subconscious.

Well established in their own leagues, Irish genre-busters @lumigraph and @newjackson decided to join forces and created Garies, a new project fusing bubbly techno complexions, off-axis 4/4 programming, altered instrumental hip-hop and immersive acid-dipped atmospheres.

Dearly Departure's title cut 'Genesis' brings it all back to where it begins. "Inspired by the moodier fringes of LA’s nocturnal underground as well as the “dark gothic energy” of certain fatalist new wave", Crook's track melds the heavy-breathing jack of a classic Chicagoan pumper with the low-key chimey harmonics of a further heliotropic musical bloodline.
