Sure Thing Podcast

Italy's PRG/M is a meticulous producer whose individual creations and work as part of r²π (alongside Ruhig and Retina.it) are constantly spellbinding and serve as unending inspiration. Please enjoy his contribution to our podcast, a nearly two hour live set which drives steadily toward mesmerizing depths until reality is but a distant, fragmented memory.

From Portugal's Nørbak, an intensely personal collection of ambient works from himself and others. A ritual of texture and mood which tenses like heartstring and burns like slow flame.

Mix 73 is a very special treat from the Italian duo Plants Army Revolver, formed in 2014 by Birgan Valentin and Marco Ragni. Their refined ability to craft organic and analog soundscapes has captured the attention of the scene's most lauded outlets, including recent live sets for Hypnus & Inveins, and a just-released EP "Yguana" on Shifted's Avian label. Far from content to rest on their creative laurels, the pair have recorded a unique live set for our series, one which unfolds beautifully from beginning to end and provides a precious glimpse into their studio process.

Hailing from Munich, Polygonia is a core member of the IO and Lowless collectives, who together form a family and outlet for deep techno across Europe. Her own production work is captivating, swathed in brooding ambience and revealed through moments of vibrant emotion, captured well in her recently released full-length "In The Dead Of Night." Here she effortlessly weaves her own tracks with those of her contemporaries, and the result is intoxicating.

Poised at the center of Korea's vibrant techno scene, Oslon is the founder of Oslated Seoul, a kindred label/podcast project situated seven thousand miles away yet musically close at heart. Captured at a recent label showcase in Hong Kong, this spellbinding set showcases a mix of the organic and subterranean sounds which form a common current through his expert curation. We've been keeping a close eye on Oslon's output, and we suspect after listening through this one many of you will be doing the same.

Koen Hoets (@koen-hoets) is a brilliant producer and friend from Rotterdam, perhaps best known for his wonderful "Datum Plano" EP on Ben Buitendijk's Oblique Music imprint. His approach to music is thoughtful and heartfelt, and his contribution to our series is an ambient/experimental opus which floats effortlessly through both of its hours. When the time is right, we encourage you to unwind and become fully immersed in the journey that lies ahead.

LA's beloved Mike Gushansky delivers an arresting mix of patient and twisted house music. As co-founder of the Redline event series and resident of SF's As You Like It, Mike is a familiar face in California's rich dance music scene, and a welcome influence on its sonic landscape. Per the artist, this mix tells a story that reflects his emotions following a surreal and life-altering event, and it's our privilege to share it.

As the co-founder of Seattle's secondnature (@secondnatureseattle) collective, Eddie Lee's influence on the North American techno scene is difficult to understate. Yet as the group's most elusive member, he rarely steps into the limelight despite his well-told reputation as a fantastic DJ and curator.

Captured live at secondnature's 5 Year Anniversary celebration, this is Eddie's first available recording in over five years, and we're excited to share it with you. Like the fury of a long-dormant volcano, it bursts forth with surprising and breathtaking intensity. Prepare to be swept off your feet.

Undveld delivers an hour which burns at a distance.

When they aren't busy behind the decks of our favorite NY venues, Lychee curates the Spontaneous Affinity interview and podcast series, which recently celebrated the release of its first print publication and co-hosted our latest event with Evigt Mörker and Takaaki Itoh.

Our good friend and frequent collaborator, they continue to play a large part in helping Sure Thing feel newly at home on the east coast, and many of you who have seen Lychee play can also attest to their ability to work a dance floor into a frenzy. We hope you enjoy this one, a very special mix from a very special artist and a ravishing display of impressive scope and unyielding energy.
