Saka, a Hong Kong-born, US-based producer, has signed to Dome of Doom with his Penumbra EP.
Penumbra is an introspective work that centers around the emotional vortex of a past relationship, and each track serves as a chronological representation of each phase. “Lilac,” the opener, represents the sort of initial honeymoon phase; “Prescient” represents starting to realize that things might not be so perfect after all; and “Penumbra” captures that feeling right before the breakup. “Let me Live” marks the period just after the breakup.
“Each track sort of represents a different time period of the relationship, in chronological order,” Saka tells XLR8R. “I didn’t really try to make any of these musical ideas fit into any specific sort of overarching genre; I sort of just wrote from the heart in the sonic lexicon that I have.” He wrote “largely without intention,” looking to get his feelings out, so the tunes range from beats to drum & bass to garage, he says. He describes Penumbra as “sort of the culmination of me not really giving that attention anymore” and “really just music I want to hear now that represents how I felt emotionally at the time.”
The release differs in sound design and structural approach to past his previous works, including his Slipstream EP on Bassrush and his Split Punch / Wing Chun EP on Gud Vibrations, in that it’s rooted in the language of songwriter-driven electronic music. It’s the first time he’s presented his vocals on one of his records, and he has also introduced a new collaborator to his catalog with the last track, “Let Me Live” which features Amethyst.

Alienata, real name Elena Puente, is a sound obsessive originating from Murcia, a university city in southeastern Spain. A former philosophy student with an interest in mysticism, she began DJing after moving to Valencia in 2004 as part of Overflow, a now-defunct collective of artists through which she arranged parties at the famous Metro Dance Club, where she later became a resident. This gave her the platform to develop a sound that broadly encompasses gritty electro, IDM, and dark disco, and in time her reputation began to seep through Europe. After connecting with Leipzig’s Homoelektrik collective, which first took her to Germany in 2005, she moved in Berlin in 2011, enamoured with the city after a first booking at ://about blank, where she played alongside Helena Hauff. Upon moving to the German capital, she found an adoptive family in the Killekill label and associated Krake Festival, and this relationship has shaped her into a respected mainstay in clubs around much of Europe.
By applying her learnings in philosophy to her sets, Puente hopes to move her listeners on a deeper, more emotional level. (Her alias also refers to her wish to “alienate” you through sounds you haven’t previously heard.) She does this by pulling records from across the musical spectrum, and this diversity and unshackled willingness to experiment has earned her the support of legends like Dave Clarke and DJ Stingray. More recently, she’s started to produce and curate her own sounds through Discos Atónicos, where since 2017 she’s put out music from Artificiero and Der Williams. In terms of her own releases, she’s collaborated with Sync24, founder of legendary UK electro imprint Cultivated Electronics, on a track for KILLEKILL, and teamed up with Beta Evers for a split EP on Disco Atónicos. She assures us that more original music will land from her soon.
In the meantime, she’s delivered her XLR8R podcast. Recorded in the midst of lockdown in Berlin, the Alienata mix is doused in nostalgia, and she tried to recreate something akin to the club experience by putting it together while dancing around her own living room with the strobe light on. She began by pulling some of her favorite records that have caught her ear recently, and whittled them down to the ones she just can’t wait to play out, coming from the likes of Carl Finlow, Gesloten Cirkel, and Umwelt. Then, that cold and rainy Berlin afternoon, she began piecing them all together on the fly. At just over an hour in length, it’s a woozy outing in hypnotic techno, industrial atmospheres, electro, and broken beat that’ll have you dancing around the room too.
01. What have you been up to recently?
Apart from sleeping a lot, cooking like crazy, taking care of myself, and trying to stay healthy and positive. I have been preparing the next release for Discos Atónicos and making some beats.
02. What music has been catching your ear during lockdown?
Currently all kinds of music! I have been rediscovering many gems and B2 cuts (those ones!) from my record collection. I’m also quite receptive to everything that’s been released lately; there’s a lot of interesting stuff in all styles. From ambient to half-time rhythms, electro, industrial hybrids, and body music.
03. Where and when did you record this mix?
I recorded this mix in my studio at home dancing barefoot accompanied by my favorite electric blue light and with the sky very dark and bright!
04. What setup did you use?
I used a pair of pioneer CDJs, my Xone:96 mixer, and my Focusrite interface.
05. How did you choose the tracks that you’ve included?
It took me a while to finalize the selection because there were too many tracks that I liked and planned to include, but in the end and after a couple of tests, the story was built.
06. What can the listener expect?
A complete alienation experience and a little bit of what I would play at the moment if that were possible. I was feeling the nostalgia for the dancefloor.
07. As the world begins to open up, how are you feeling about touring again?
I honestly feel a bit of confusion and contradiction when I think about it. On the one hand, I feel a tremendous nostalgia to go back to doing what I love the most in the world: playing records with the shared communal feeling of the crowd. But on the other hand, I am a bit anxious because I don’t know how things are going to be. Even if the world is opening up and the vaccine is a reality, I think we still have to wait a little bit to think about the idea of touring and show solidarity; there are still many places that have been hard hit by the pandemic.
08. What’s next on your agenda?
Apart from some live streams and mixes in the pipeline, I’m trying to be as focused as I can on finishing some of the music that I have going on.

We’ve put together setup instructions for Polygon (Matic), one of the the blockchains XLR8R‘s NFT marketplace, XNFT, will be running on.
You can find detailed steps below and if anyone needs any support, join our new Discord community and post in the #nft-support channel.
How to Setup and Get Matic/Polygon:
The below steps will get you set up on the Polygon chain (Matic Mainnet) and show you how to fund it with Matic, the tokens needed to mint NFTs and transact on Polygon (Matic).
Here are two of the easiest ways to get Matic/Polygon:
Option a: If you have an account with an exchange—Coinbase, Kraken, Binance, etc.—you can buy Matic with a debit card or using funds in your account and send it to your wallet address. This is the cheapest way. If you’ve done this move on to step 2.
Option b: If you don’t have access to an exchange, you can buy Ether (ETH) within Metamask—you can use Apple Pay to buy ETH within the Metamask app in the US on iPhone or buy with a debit card on mobile or desktop using Wyre—or transfer Ether from an exchange to your wallet. You can also use DAI and various other tokens for this.
Once you have Ether (if you already have Matic in your account you can transfer it using these same instructions), the cheapest way to transfer it to Matic is to first move it to the Matic Mainnet. To do that, go to https://wallet.matic.network/, connect your wallet, select “Move funds to Matic Mainnet”, enter the amount of Ether you want to transfer to Matic on the Matic Mainnet, and hit transfer—note: you will need to use a small amount of Ethereum for this transfer to be completed.
Open MetaMask, and select “Custom RPC” from the Network Dropdown.
In the “Custom RPC” Settings, add in the below xDai network details and click Save:
Network Name: Matic Mainnet New RPC URL: https://rpc-mainnet.maticvigil.com/ Chain ID: 137 Symbol: MATIC Block Explorer URL: https://explorer.matic.network/
4. You’ll now be connected to the Matic network with your balance reflected.
Once your wallet is set to the Matic Mainnet, head to QuickSwap.exchange and connect your wallet.
From the top drop-down menu, select ETH (or whatever asset you want to trade with) and the amount you want to transfer. On the lower drop-down menu, select Matic. Click “Swap.”
MetaMask will open and prompt you to “Confirm Swap.” Once you have confirmed the transaction, your balance will be reflected in your wallet and you’re now ready to transact on the Matic network and mint, sell, and buy NFTs.
With summer fast approaching, we’re ready to present the next batch of submissions through our portal, coming from our valued members. As we do each month, we’ve listened to everything that you’ve sent in and presented our favorites. April’s roundup is notable for its diversity, and we’re delighted to have heard some exceptional releases from artists we perhaps wouldn’t have otherwise come across. Of particular note are Plasman’s Circles and Circles, a slice of mesmerizing electro from Milan, and Guatemala Dreams, a drum & bass album by mysterious German artist Planetary Secrets. (If you want something a little more upbeat, Jan Janssen’s “Le Tedey” will surely put a smile on your face.) And we’re stoked to have discovered Hidden Element’s broken beats and the little-known Simple Symmetry, a feel-good Russian collaboration with ties to Red Axes. In terms of mixes, the shimmering ambient of Yui Onodera, based in Japan, is as sure to incite emotion as Chloe Lula’s techno mix is to make you want to move. Please, dig in, and we’ll be back with more next month.
Editor’s note: we’ve made a point of linking each artist’s name to their social media page, or a place where you can buy their music, and we encourage our readers to support these independent artists by in fact buying their music. Let’s keep independent culture alive.

Igor Kirilenko began to release tracks as Hidden Element in 2011, firstly as a duo with Nil Tarasov and now as a solo project. Over the years he’s released music on Absys and Pinecone Moonshine, and also created remixes for London Elektricity and Enter Shikari. He also co-runs Kyiv label Thousand Kisses Place along with Sergey Vovk, focusing on “smart breakbeat music,” he says. “MindBugs,” a foggy breakbeat jam reminiscent of the great DjRUM, is a standout from Cycles, a new EP that follows Comparisons and Kontinuum.
Joescho is the alias of Leeds-based producer Joe Schofield, whose influences span deep house, minimal, garage, and jazz, not to mention an interest in space and the great unknown. Earlier this month, he released Hypnosis, a two-tracker on London label Everybody In Return. With its catchy synth stabs and hypnotic vocal samples, the title-track is a keeper, as is “The Terminal” on the flip.
Simple Symmetry is the project of Sasha and Sergey Lipsky, DJ-producers from Moscow united by their love for psychedelic sound. They began to play music together when they were kids and performed in various live bands before their interest in synthesizers and machines turned into Simple Symmetry. Over the last few years, the duo have released on Moscoman’s Disco Halal, Jennifer Cardini‘s Correspondant, and Red Axes’ Garzen Records, pushing music with a certain psychedelia and “a touch of weirdness,” they say. “Oh Lord” is the lead single from SORRY! WE DID SOMETHING WRONG, their debut album available now their own New Ears Records label. It features Abramov and Iggor Cavalera.
Together with Deckard, real name Giuseppe Massara, Marco Cassanelli, an Italian producer, focuses on harmonic and experimental techno sounds. “Suspended Time,” a new single of melodic dub techno, is a first taste of OPUS SECTILE, the Italian pair’s upcoming album. Last year, they released Pyramiden, a smooth, immersive live recording extracted from a modular session made while testing a new live setup.
MIRA 新伝統 is a collaborative project based in Tokyo, Japan, comprising Raphael Leray and Honami Higuchi. Their first release, Torque, on Austrian label AMEN, was based on the real-life experience of sexual abuse experienced by Higuchi. Later that year, they opened for Yves Tumor in Tokyo. “Axsys Pandemonium” is their latest track, an immersive experimental work from an artist on the rise.
Carlos de Pablos grew up in the Spanish town of Betanzos where he first learned music as a kid. After finishing his piano degree, he moved to London for five years where he explored the city’s club culture as a raver and a DJ, developing his electronic influences. Late last year, he released his debut EP, Tough Call, and “Watch” is the opening track, full of atmospheric and expressive melodies with deep, driving rhythms. Close your eyes and let go.
Miles Ellis is a rising producer based out of Arizona, whose formative years were heavily influenced by his musician father who played the guitar in a band called Full Thrust. He grew up listening to Jimi Hendrix and Iron Maiden but those tastes have since shifted towards the house of Frankie Knuckles and Kerri Chandler and robust Detroit techno. In April, Ellis returned to Detroit’s Motech Records with four fresh techno tracks, having earlier delivered his popular “Jack The Beat” on Motech’s Consortium Vol. 2 compilation. House of Fun is a blistering EP and the title track is the pick of the bunch.
50,000 Dinar is the alias of Elliot Smith based in Salt Lake City. In March, he put out suizen, a new album of downtempo beats inspired by Buddhist philosophy. He made it all using a laptop computer running Ableton Live 11, Teenage Engineering Pocket Operators, an Artley flute, a nest drum, a Yamaha bass guitar, and a G&L S500 guitar. “Snipe,” a moody jazz cut full of groove, is our pick of the bunch but the album is well worth your time.
Jan Janssen is a young gun from Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and this month he’s submitted his new track, “Le Tedey,” a playful studio jam available now on Barbecue. It’s named after a camp in south-west France where he’s been going every summer, and it captures the feel-good emotions of holidaying, with light blue skies and people having a great time. The release comes with a remix from Naux, based in Lyon, France.
Planetary Secrets, a mysterious producer based in Leipzig, Germany, has released a new EP on Loose Fit Records, titled Guatemala Dreams. Created during the pandemic, the release explores different themes of escapism through music and toes the line from nostalgia to fantasy. As Planetary Secrets says in the label notes, it’s rare for him to start a track without a theme, whether that’s a childhood memory or place he wants to visit, and this manifests in an environment in his head that guides the production process. Sonically, the EP presents a propulsive take on the sound of ’90s rave, and it’s filled with snapshots of sounds from the actual jungle which comes to life via a thick barrage of breaks. Listen carefully and there’s a subtle nod to the golden era of drum & bass.
CANVAX, better known as Danny Jeroense, is based in Deventer, the Netherlands. After his Cosmophilia album on the Italian YAY label and a couple of tracks on compilations from BassAgenda and Crobot Music, he’s released Koortsdroom, a new EP on Dutch label Lo Phi Forms. It features five tracks broadly covering electro and ambient, and we’re featuring “Klopjacht,” an encapsulation of Jeroense’s emotive, rough-edged sound.
This month, CAPYAC, a French house duo hailing from Austin, Texas but based in Los Angeles, submitted “Simultaneous,” their latest single. It begins as a light-hearted slice of house, but slowly the sound expands with floating chords and soaring vocals, making it a beautifully transformative piece of work.
With her distinct sound treatment and signature improvised performances, Liliane Chlela, from Beirut, Lebanon, has been pushing the boundaries of experimental electronic music for over a decade now. Malign/Benign, her latest EP, and an evolution from her 2012 album,Lullaby for Monsters, is a four-track experimental dance release with infectious energy and flow. We’re showing the full release here, for no other reason that we couldn’t pick just one track!
Plasman, real name Carlo Vergani, based in Milan, Italy, approaches music through classical studies of the clarinet, and he began his experiments with electronic composition in 1997. Circles and Circles was originally born as a tape-only release for Svbterrean Tapes 2018 and Italian label 51beats has since made it available digitally for the first time. The album is an imaginary journey through the universe and a contemplation of the distant stars and planets, and this results in an extremely psychedelic release. “Underwater Still Life” is a mesmerizing second track.
Yui Onodera is a Tokyo-based musician who uses a broad palette of musical instruments, field recordings, and electronics to craft provocative clouds of blurry, hypnotic sound. He has released works on Kompakt and Room40. In March, he shared 90 minutes of ambient and drone with a delicate mood and texture, featuring tracks from KMRU, Roméo Poirier, and Abul Mogard. It’s carefully engineered to sooth the soul, to be enjoyed quietly at home.
San Francisco-born, Berlin-based artist Chloe Lula has been involved with electronic music for more than a decade. She started producing her first live sets in 2019, when she completed a month-long artist residency with Drew McDowall of Coil, and the experience ignited her confidence in composition and allowed her to combine her classical cello training with electronics, melding granular synthesis with acoustic riffs and metallic percussion to create an unalloyed brand of droned-out industrial electronica. Many of these jams ended up becoming the tracks on her debut EP, Errant Bodies, with German label aufnahme + wiedergabe. Last month, she put out a new podcast for The Forgotten in Mexico City, exhibiting a brooding techno sound with tracks from Tommy Four Seven, JK Flesh, and Maelstrom.
Adam Rahman “The microminmal takeover – episode 77“
Adam Rahman is a DJ-producer based out of Dubai, known for his work in developing a techno scene in India and across the Middle East. For the 77th edition of the microminimal takeover for Threads, a platform based in Brooklyn, New York, he compiled two hours of stripped-back house and techno. Expect two hours of slick and steamy groove.
Autow Nite Superstore is an exciting but mysterious experimental Greek producer, known for blending edgy and brutal sounds, whom we featured in our May Roundup after he submitted music through our portal. Late last week, he released HEAD OVER HILLS, his latest album.
For “SYZYGY,” he’s teamed up with Effie Pappa, a Greek director who has provided a raw and intimate visual environment for a deeply captivating track.
“When I first listened to Autow Nite Superstore’s ‘SYZYGY,’ it instantly gave me a tingling sensation and I knew it was a piece I had to visualize,” Pappa says. “Its bold, honest, and emotionally raw marriage between the mesmerizing ‘Ave Maria’ and the brutal electronic chords transported me to a place of true naked self in trepidation but in safety. My vision was to visualize these two different voices like corresponding systems mirroring each other’s emotions to create a close union which would lead to a cathartic peak.”
HEAD OVER HILLS is Autow Nite Superstore’s first album since Conversations, available now on Klik Records. The nine-track long-player is rich in color but it’s also melancholic and deeply moving.
HEAD OVER HILLS is available now, with a full stream below alongside the video for “SYZYGY.”
Moritz von Oswald is back with Dissent, a new album that explores the scope of jazz and dance music within abstracted electronic music.
For Dissent, the German producer and percussionist is joined by American artist Laurel Halo and jazz drummer Heinrich Köbberling to form Moritz von Oswald Trio. It’s an alias von Oswald last used in 2015 for the Sounding Lines LP, the group’s first album after Vladislav Delay was replaced by Tony Allen. (As usual, it featured Max Loderbauer.) As ever with albums from the Moritz von Oswald Trio, Dissent, recorded during November and December 2020 in Berlin, emerged from a series of long extended jams that were then edited down.
Through the album, the group exposes an experimental sound world, improvising over grooves and embedded effects. “These performances intimate trust and understanding between the musicians, as each pushes and pulls the others, resulting in fantastically compelling compositions,” we’re told.
In April, Halo released her Possessed score, available now released via The Vinyl Factory.
Uganda’s Nyege Nyege Tapes will release a new album from Rey Sapienz & The Congo Techno Ensemble.
Rey Sapienz, the founder of Hakuna Kulala, Nyege Nyege’s sub-label, cut his teeth as a young rapper in Congo. When he was eight years old, the Democratic Republic was plunged into the Second Congo War, and the conflict lasted five years, leaving an indelible mark on east Africa. But Sapienz endured, and when he finished school, he headed to nearby Kampala, Uganda to collaborate with local producers. When civil war broke out back home he was forced to extend his stay in Uganda; since then, he has been teaching his Ableton skills to Kampala’s young producers and releasing EPs, the last coming in September 2019.
For his debut album, Na Zala Zala, Sapienz travels beyond the avant beatscapes of his early material. Alongside traditional percussionist Papalas Palata and rapper Fresh Dougis, he has formed The Congo Techno Ensemble, utilizing their skills and experience to offer a statement that speaks to the past, present, and future of the Democratic Republic of Congo. These tracks break open the stories all three artists accumulated while there, “augmenting radioactive techno-dancehall beats with radical, open-hearted words and rhymes,” we’re told.
Tracklisting
01. Dancehall Pigme 02. Esala Rien 03. Eza Makambo 04. Posa Na Bika 05. Zuwa Ba Risk 06. Na Zala Zala 07. Santonge 08. Minzoto
Na Zala Zala LP is scheduled for July 16 release. Meanwhile, you can stream “Eza Makambo” in full below and pre-order here.
Can’t Believe follows the Cleveland-raised, New York-based producer’s Information LP and corresponding instrumentals album, Information (Redacted), both released on Ghostly. In July, he released his Proof EP, featuring a handful of new tracks recorded in his similar Midwest mindset.
The single is filled with a sense of peace and disillusionment. Lustwerk, who has spoken out about his less than positive experiences in the music industry, rejects the rat race (“saw, it, didn’t want it”) in favor of simply living his life, exchanging the titular phrase with some other pitched-up presence as a woozy synth pattern weaves between the bass and the beat.
The release comes with a remix from Dan Curtin, who arrived in Berlin by way of Lustwerk’s native Ohio. The “I-90 to Infinity” remix is named after the long cross country freeway that runs through Ohio.
Along with the launch of our curated NFT Marketplace for music, XNFT, XLR8R has another announcement to make: we’ll be splitting one percent of any revenue generated from selling NFTs between Brian Eno’s EarthPercent, a registered charity in England and Wales (no: 1188391) making grants to the most effective organizations working on the climate crisis, and Blond:ish’s Bye Bye Plastic, a foundation to reduce single-use plastics by the music industry.
We’re aware that the carbon footprint from creating NFTs on some blockchains can be significant because each transaction requires a great amount of energy. That’s why we’ve decided to offer two blockchain options, xDai and Polygon, that require far less energy consumption and are less expensive to use. In addition, and at the request of many creators and buyers, we will also offer Ethereum. Ethereum is expected to launch Ethereum 2.0 within a year which will require a fraction of its current energy requirement.
“We looked at several solutions with the help of our NFT partner Cargo and felt it would be much better for our planet and for our creators and collectors if we were to offer two blockchains that require minimal energy consumption and are less expensive to use compared to some of the current blockchains being used for NFTs,” says John Wander, XLR8R CEO. “Our team at XLR8R is concerned and conscious of climate change and single-use plastics and wanted to go one step further by donating some of our NFT revenue to two very credible nonprofits that ‘walk the talk’ and are really making a difference. We are very pleased to be partnering with EarthPercent and Bye Bye Plastic Foundation.”
Bye Bye Plastic Foundation’s co-founder and Blond:ish’s Vivie-Ann says, “NFTs are the future for music creators, just like the #plasticfreeparty is the future of dancefloors! As a strong believer in NFTs, I feel extremely humbled to know we are supported by XNFT on our mission to eliminate single-use plastics from our industry.”
“EarthPercent thanks XLR8R for its generous offer to donate to us from sales of the platform’s NFTs and we will look forward to distributing funds received to the most impactful and transformative organizations fighting the climate crisis as selected by our panel of expert advisors,” EarthPercent’s team noted.
Meg Duffy, the singer-songwriter and versatile guitarist who records as Hand Habits, has teamed up with producer Joel Ford for a new project called yes/and. They’ll released a debut self-titled album via Ford’s Driftless Recordings.
The duo began working together in the midst of the pandemic, fusing Duffy’s skilled guitar playing with Ford’s producing and sound design skills into 10 hypnotic tracks. As the moniker alludes to, yes/and embraces an elusive, curious forward momentum, spiraling but subdued.
Despite the album’s experimental nature, it feels distinctly intimate and emotive, imbued with a strange optimism, both open-ended and opaque. The song titles reflect a similar duality, alternately blunt and oblique (“Learning About Who You Are,” “In My Heaven All Faucets Are Fountains”).
Tracklisting
