The recent edition of XLR8R+ is one of our biggest yet.
Not only do we have six artists, all delivering an exclusive track each but we’ve also added a Studio Essentials into the mix from The Spy, who details his favorite pieces of gear and how he uses them.
His track "Alternating Ranges," which features Elena Colombi from Osàre Editionswho co-curated this edition, is a fast, punky ride with a filthy baseline mixed into razor-edged percussion.

On opening duties for the latest edition of XLR8R+ is Italian producer @d_fferent_place.
Over 9 years he’s compiled a discography of quality EPs that stylishly blend house and stripped-back techno. “Shades of Time,” the track he’s offered up here follows in this style, with five-and-a-half minutes of feel-good melodies and chunky low-slung grooves.
