New remix ⛓️
Huw (@malwen__ ) and I first met in college back in 2011 when we were both 15. We barely knew each other at the time and eventually lost touch completely. Neither of us had any idea we’d both gone on to delve deep into the same corner of electronic music until we randomly bumped into each other on a festival dancefloor a few years ago (shout out @come_bye_festival ). Fast forward to today and we’ve somehow ended up here…
It feels mental to be remixing a track for someone I first met as a teenager in rural North Wales, where this kind of music was basically non-existent growing up. Very proud to be part of Huw’s first vinyl release, which also happens to mark the first remix of mine to make it onto wax. Full circle moment!
Deep, driving and dubby. Out soon! Mwynhewch 🏴
Some more ambient album recommendations to soothe the 2026 madness 🫠
Terekke - Improvisation Loops (2018) - everything of his is amazing
Jim O’Rourke - Steamroom 40 (2018) - incredibly prolific artist and incredibly proficient synthesist!
Ulla - Hope Sonata (2022) - lesser known release from Ulla and quite different from their other work
Shuttle358 - Chessa (2004) - one of many great albums on Taylor Deupree’s 12k label
Here are some tracks I played our @zesty.djs club night at @thefoxandfirkin the other week :)
@therealfennec - Grilled Romaine (2025) - so good ❤️
Modulator - His 808 Electro HQ (1997) - rare bit of electro on Plastic City (pretty underrated label, so many good tracks in its catalogue and across its various sublabels)
Ngin-O - Luxor (1995) - (alias of Oliver Barkovic - well worth a dig, lots of unique tracks!)
Demarkus Lewis - Hustler (2004) - (such a good house producer, also on the underrated side!)
@resident_advisor made a great feature about the best music from the last 25 years, been enjoying discovering the many things I missed!
In the spirit of sharing music, here are the albums from their top 100 that I like the most + a list of albums they missed (some of which are my absolute favourites!). I tried to keep it selective :)
Various Waves II is OUT NOW 🌊

The beauty of techno is that it is a canvas made of drums and you can infuse anything you want within it. Newcomer to the scene Malwen knows it well, and he joins our Various Waves series with "Floresta": a track particularly unique in its hybrid of dub house and techno, informed by our hypnotic and deep sonic brand, yet made special by the influence of light and bubbly deep house.
This is a superb example of the infinite possibility of the genre, and another beautiful track to blend on a sunny afternoon. You can download the track on our Bandcamp already or listen to it on our SoundCloud, enjoy 💙🌱
