Reclaim Your City

Up this week in our podcast series, Argentinian DJ and producer Pulso
steps up with a two-hour ride spanning dark, brooding floor material and
verbed-out oddities. Championing a sound both unremittingly abrasive
and truly hypnotic, sitting at the junction of hard-hitting big room
ballistics and abstract-leaning dub groovers, Pulso dishes out a
masterclass in trippy, pulsating sonic tapestries. Wild rhythms and
sci-fi-informed atmospheres coalesce in a furnace-hot environment, all
set at triggering off the crowd’s most buried raving instincts. Expect a
suspenseful workout of a set, rife with massive twists and turns.
Fiery!

Hailing from the lands of ‘Nordic swamp psychedelica’ as he likes to
call it, Finnish DJ and producer Kaspiann fractures his way into our
weekly podcast series with a special hour-and-a-half-long sonic rodeo
spanning frosted hi-tech minimalistic architectures, playful
polyrhythmic debauchery and further genre-unbound incursions into icy
proto-futuristic territories. Unleashing a vibrant outpour of
experimental-leaning rollers, jagged zero-G maneuvers and straight out
effusive dubs from down deep, Kaspiann beckons us on the path of sheer
multi-sensory abandon and inescapable full body & soul immersion
throughout. Expect a deluge of heavily textured envelopes, polychromatic
fractals and tribal folk-informed percussive hoodoo to wrap your ears
around at various tempi and in various configurations. Monster
versatility, monster execution, monster impact.

This week’s guest in our podcast series is Australian-born /
London-based Zara, a name that’s been making waves in the underground UK
techno scene and now graces us with her debut two-hour RYC mix. A
versatile juggler of styles and tempi, Zara dishes out a multi-faceted
set spanning jagged hi-tech grooves, faux-organic downtempo ambiences
and further cross-pollinated dubs from outer space. Never quite limiting
herself to straitjacketed protocols, the Kinesis Recordings boss pulls
out a wealth of unsuspected moves and maneuvers, blurring the line
constantly between club adaptation and non-formulaic musical detours
bordering on experimental and leftfield. The result is a mix that hums
and throbs like nothing else, a proper sound UFO if you prefer,
rebellious by nature and rogue by necessity. Beware, shockwave coming in
hot.

Irish DJ and producer Mode_1 is our guest this week with a two-hour
sonic cruise running the gamut from psychedelic post-industrial
soundscapes to stripped-down brutalist grooves. Cutting a path of
destruction across the dance floor, this mix is designed to have all
ravers’ adrenaline levels topped out as they wait for the next bar’s own
idiosyncratic thrill with blind obedience. Championing a sound both
clinically crisp and entrancingly dynamic, Mode_1 is your guide for a
deep dive across fractured 4x4 atmospheres and effervescing peak-time
jousts. Leaving no stone unturned in his quest for the most hair-raising
crescendo, there goes the Dublin whiz firing on all cylinders, ready to
buckle knees by the dozen.

Queens-based DJ and Volnost resident Clarisa Kimskii takes the helm
this week with two hours of proper mind-expanding wares, acid-drenched
psychedelia and rugged, industrial-informed grooves. Known for her
intrepid sonic journeys and hi-impact blends, the US artist takes us on a
bumpy ride fusing hi-octane big room momenti, aesthetic style clash and
proper eruptive floor combustion. Hold onto your seats and hunch your
shoulders. Acceleration is happening, takeoff is imminent.
