WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #35 — Drvg Cvltvre cometh

X

WE FORFEIT returned to Valencia with a seriously special guest.

A spread of scarred and scorched treats

WE FORFEIT · Radio Relativa #35 – Drvg Cvltvre Cometh

Drvg Cvltvre performed his final live set at the legendary Killing Time (March, 2023). A rare talent, this hardware junkie has been drawn deep into the dark and brooding recesses of his machines. With releases on the likes of Bunker, Shipwrec and Viewlexx, this infamous figure has been central in the West Coast sound of Holland whilst exploring new plains on his own New York Haunted.

Accompanying Robbie and Chris in the cabin were some heavyweights. Ruben Rodrigo of La Carbonero and Slokto of Syntax Electronix fame will be spinning some serious slammers with the head honcho David Verdeguer opening the night.

For this edition Chris delivers a taster of what to expect at the weekend, a choice hour-long mix of no-nonsense cuts that guarantee to slice through speakers.

Drvg Cvltvre finishes with his own exclusive excursion into the depths of his sound palette. Expect tracks from his own discography as well as a spread of scarred and scorched treats.

Thanks so much to all involved in such a special night.

WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #33 —Top tracks of 2022X

It comes but once a year, WE FORFEIT‘s top tracks of 2022. Tough year, seems to be the mantra of life there days. Nevertheless, the lads bury the spike of reality with a selection of nourishing sounds that guarantee to warm away the horrors staring back at you.

WE FORFEIT · Radio Relativa #33 – Top Tracks of 2022

Tough year, seems to be the mantra of life there days. Nevertheless, the lads bury the spike of reality with a selection of nourishing sounds that guarantee to warm away the horrors staring back at you. Robbie starts us off with some beauts care of the always excellent Heinrich Dressel and his silken synth work. Synths are the focus for Mothball’s Ash in October with Galaxian offering some electro commentary on levers of power. The atmospherics of Ard Bit lead into the the wizardry of John Beltran before we hit the floor. Mr Ho & Mogwaa and their upbeat “Bail-E” are countered with the caustic electronics of Sound Synthesis and knob jerks of PQ17 on the freshly minted Unusual Transmission.

The broken beat bandwagon is boarded for the superb Kanyalang! with Spain’s Black Quasar scaling peaks with Negative Glitch. We stay with Black Quasar and Existential Wabbit, resurfacing with Nebulae elegance and Delayscape’s delicate “Baffled Cry.”

A constant source of inspiration for us at WE FORFEIT is De:tuned, the Belgian label once again setting the bar incredibly high in 2022. Two tracks, care of legends Stasis and Nuron, had to make the selection, and do!

Chris takes the wheel with cracking pieces from our good pal DJ Sneaker, the unmissable Cignol, on HC Records, and the hard hitting Hard Ton on Schrödinger’s Box. Robbie returns with an 030303 gem of the last twelve months, Tom Gilbert and “Lucid Dream” mixed into the electro godfathers that are Morphology.

Muchísimas gracias a Radio Relativa, nuestros oyentes y los invitados como Adrián Marth. Seguimos, como el tiempo, con más pronto. Un abrazazazazazo.

WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #31

Robbie and Chris of WE FORFEIT present their latest mix for Radio Relativa #31 and the struggles with Spain’s postal service.

Beautiful warm electronics

WE FORFEIT · Radio Relativa #31

All vinyl lovers will know the constant battle with the age-old enemy: The Post Office. Slips not left. Surly staff. No ID. “It’s a record, yeah like an old record like black thing. Yeah, them lads.” This war of attrition takes on a new mantle when faced with Correos, Spain’s postal service that would give the Soviet Union a run for its money when it comes to queues.

Robbie found himself sleuthing from one post office to another to track down some of the audio treats that are on offer for this month’s WE FORFEIT. Beautiful warm electronics come care of Ireland’s Derek Carr before we dip into the colder machinations of Morphology. Digging into the past, Arne Weinberg and John Shima give a taster of the wonderful diametric. before more new arrivals care of 030303. Cold Blow and Suction.

Although Spain’s postal service may have issues, the electronic music talent of Iberia has none. Moy’s new 12” on the Masa Series is superb with Promising/Youngster following with a mixlet of No Moon and Cultivated Electronics.

Chris has been on duty in Valencia with his interview translation work for Alessandro Adriani when Mannequin’s boss played in Killing Time. Mannequin is well represented with some jewels from its back catalogue, Dust being a real favorite. As ever, we’ve searched high and low for techno with Chris unearthing Transmigration alongside some classics form Djax-Up-Beats. No content with one Alessandro, Chris was also translating for Alessandro Parisi at a recent Frigio Showcase in Valencia, the Italian sound sculptor represented with two tracks.
