The 17th edition of XLR8R+ is upon us—welcome!

Stream Snippets: soundcloud.com/xlr8r/sets/xlr8r-017

We begin this edition with DeWalta, the Meander label head. Reflecting on becoming a father, the German artist, real name David Koch, wrote “Quinnie,” a psychedelic groovy roller, in the dead of night with Ilya Quinn, his newborn, by his side. The track pairs punchy percussion and a warm synthline that jumps in and out, making for a great closer to a set. Up next is Öona Dahl, the Hallucienda artist also known for her affiliations with All Day I Dream. “15 Years Old,” an ambient track, is the first taste of her new material and the latest of her ever-broadening studio experimentations that touch on floating ambience, cosmic techno, and pop-infused pastures. We return to the dancefloor to close the edition, this time with Alci, the Turkish-born, Switzerland-based DJ-producer born Faith Alci. Much in the same vein as DeWalta’s “Quinnie,” “Nästan Tyst” puts groove front and centre, and has the capacity to light up a club—as we’ve seen when Alci played it at Hoppetosse earlier this summer!

As a bonus to this edition, we’ve added a dub version of DeWalta’s “Quinnie.”

Artwork is provided by the mysterious John Smith, with mastering by Kamran Sadeghi, and Klas-Henrik Lindblad of Blackhead Studios, Berlin.

We thank you for joining our independent movement.

Enjoy the music.

All the tracks are great but Stepper is the standout for me! pounding syncopated kicks, rolling handdrums and playful sample work, dancefloor destroyer. Jack G.
