WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #45 — Mixtape: Featherstone

 Through our shows, interviews and mixes, we’ve tried to present electronics with a difference, electronics that make a difference. To the snowy peaks of Canada with Solvent, to the dusty plains of Almería with Mynationshit, our objective is giving a greater audience to what is already great. This month is no exception.

Electronics that make a difference

WE FORFEIT · Radio Relativa #45 – Mixtape – Featherstone

  

Here at WE FORFEIT, we are always on the hunt. Discounted bread, free wine, even the odd compliment, all are fair game and very much appreciated. When it comes to music, a certain furrowed brow of seriousness is employed. Through our shows, interviews and mixes, we’ve tried to present electronics with a difference, electronics that make a difference. To the snowy peaks of Canada with Solvent, to the dusty plains of Almería with Mynationshit, our objective is giving a greater audience to what is already great. This month is no exception.

Travelling even further, the furthest in fact, this month is dedicated to Featherstone. This Australian artist, a talent that has graced labels like Gated Recordings, Nebulae and his own Ernest’s Way. He has a full hour long mix that collects acid, braindance, electro and techno while giving you some of his own unreleased works. Fantastic stuff and thanks Ben.

Robbie is on warm-up and has some freshly baked releases alongside some golden classics. You’ll have tracks from labels like 030303, D.Ko Records and Partout with musicians like Böhm, Reedale Rise and the incredible Ismistik featuring.

Thanks for listening and thanks again to Ben!

WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #44

 Our celebration, a devil-may-care romp in the aural delights of the machines, opens with some recent beauts from Gated before dipping into acid, breakbeat, electro and techno with records from Amenthia, Betonkust, Gated Recordings, Klasse Wrecks and heaps more.

The cold clinical stare of the lost and left behind

The cruel Summer heat of Madrid is receding. The gentle breeze of Autumn brings with it a refreshing sense of possibility, the dappled light shimmering with a childlike optimism. Here, at WE FORFEIT, we put optimism out of its misery a long time ago; instead, we eyeball reality with the cold clinical stare of the lost and left behind.

This month’s latest episode is an ode to all things electronic, to the flicker of the switch and the illumination of a future as stark than our own. Our celebration, a devil-may-care romp in the aural delights of the machines, opens with some recent beauts from Gated before dipping into acid, breakbeat, electro and techno with records from Amenthia, Betonkust, Gated Recordings, Klasse Wrecks and heaps more.

WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #42 — 7″s from Salvation

 A show that’s been in the making for well over two decades, two hours dedicated to the most minute of the vinyl formats: seven inches! Robbie goes deep digging into the seven-inch shoebox and comes up with a glut of gold from far and wide.

Deep digging into the seven-inch shoebox

Ashow that’s been in the making for well over two decades, two hours dedicated to the most minute of the vinyl formats: seven inches! Robbie goes deep digging into the seven-inch shoebox and comes up with a glut of gold from far and wide. We get started in and around the year 2000, and revisit the turn of the millennium throughout this episode. The perverse world of V/Vm gets the platter spinning, the lager and fag ash stained “Rompford Rap” followed by some proper blip hop from Kid606 before Planet Mu sevens from Venetian Snares and o9.

Softer tones abound in this show with warm clicks and gentle electronics from Isan and Geiom. In a similar vein, Lowfish and the superb Skanfrom are well represented with some quality tracks from imprints like A.D.S.R. and Awkward Silence.

Heavier electro offerings arrive care of The Exaltics and The Suiciders. Much of this transmission is dedicated to a favorite genre of the seven inch format, synthwave. Gems from labels like Anna Logue, Genetic Music and Kernkrach shine with well crafted works of tear jerker machine pop. Never ones to shy away from some Italo Disco, Fake and Transport both feature for some mid 80s joy. The close is a shout out to our good pal Mark and a favorite of his from Nervous Assistant on Blind Prophet.

Dipping into the past

This episode of We Forfeit was originally aired in November of 2023, when the clouds of winter were gathering. Fast forward half a year and the sun is splitting the stones here in Madrid. Splitting our speakers, and hopefully yours, are some true acid techno tearaways from Finland care of Boneless One, Helium and Sex Voltage. Calmer, arguably sunnier, moments come from Italo disco to cut through the bitter tang of our nordic contributions. Dipping into the past, with a clear eye on the future of course, we have Cold Blow Records and the excellent R.A.N.D. Muzik before donning our mascara for the modern romantic movements of Hysterica Passio and new beat edge of Corp of Unusual Systems.

Staying in Madrid, Lowfish delivers the off-world elegance of “Thaw” before No Moon and uf0 breakbeats pull on heartstrings. Taking the reins, Chris is in the mix with some lancing electronics from the likes of Diffuse Reality, Gamma Intel, and Viicktory.

Thanx!

A top night in Valencia

WE FORFEIT are back, again. To get the season going, we’re delighted to present the recording of a top night in Valencia. In the middle of September, Robbie and Chris shared the cabin of the legendary Killing Time with two jewels of the Valencian scene. Arquiola and Nahuel are members of Mamvt Electonics and the two brought two bags full of electronic gold. We had two hours recorded live with tracks from Aphex Twin, Berceuse Heroique, Hieroglyphic Being, Tin Man, Secret Studio Records, Wolfskuil and more. Thanks a million to Mamvt Electronics and Killing Time, a pleasure.
