about

Welcome to the 33rd edition of XLR8R+.

With this month’s selections, we’ve decided to deliver music from two artists we’ve supported a lot in the past, Jamaica Suk and BNJMN, originating from San Francisco and Bournemouth, England respectively. With our third artist, we’ve opted to go with someone who we have discovered more recently: Kyoka, a Japanese artist signed to Raster-Noton. Now we’ve discovered her, there’s no going back; each track explores a different facet of the broader techno realm.

We begin the collection with Suk’s "Dream Delusions,” a cerebral dancefloor experience that is at once physical, emotive, and captivating, defined by dizzying sound design and razor-sharp percussion. (For those interested in learning exactly how she made it, Suk has shared her Ableton Live project too, available for download!) For the next track, BNJMN’s “Second Charm,” Ben Thomas takes things much deeper with a sophisticated slice of techno characterized by subtle rhythmic fluctuations and a sense of space that is felt rather than heard. To close, Kyoka has delivered two different mixes of a new track produced specifically for this edition. One is a white-knuckle ride and the other is more of a late-night spectacle that utilizes an ever-morphing rolling groove for maximum dancefloor effect.

The artwork this month comes from Jamie Gorman, an illustrator and graphic designer based in London. As is customary now, the art is also available as an NFT, so go grab it now!

Mastering comes from Kamran Sadeghi.

Thanks for your continued support.

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.
