WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #25
The ball bearing gets rolling
The lads are back after the Christmas break with a show brimming with quality. Every genre under the electronic sun is explored. The ball bearing gets rolling with our friends from Leipzig and some brand spanking new releases care of Clear Memory and Pulse Drift. Italo and pop melt in our WE FORFEIT extended version of 1980s gem “Self Control” before we sink into some broken beats and silken synths from Canada’s Pop District.
Shame on us, for the first time we’ve got some tracks from one of the most able modern day acid abstractionists: Roy of the Ravers. Never afraid to mine their way into the golden techno seams of the 90s, Aphex Twin, Joey Beltram and Kinesthesia all feature. The genres keep coming thick and fast with classic fuzzy fizzing house coming from Sweet D and T.Traxx. We dig ever deeper to unearth modern house imaginings from Hieroglyphic Being on Hivern, Juzer on Rubber and Benedek on L.I.ES.
The styles just keep coming. Liquid lavender flows from Upsammy, and her remix of Larry Heard, before the laser grooves of Melatonin Man on Nous’klaer Audio. To close, we’ve a little tribute to a pioneer of electronica. Gridlock were a US outfit active from the mid 90s to the early 2000s, and were responsible for some truly wonderful machine music. Sadly, Mike Wells of the duo passed away some months ago. As a wee homage, this month’s show ends with Gridlock’s “364” with a special collaboration from Proem.
More styles than ya could shake a stick at. ¡Enjoi!
