Elliptic Quarantine Edition Episode 1: The Netherlands

Elliptic Quarantine Edition is an interview series that explores dance music scenes around the world amidst the challenges of the global pandemic. Episode 1 features Sven of Tunr, a music sharing platform based in the Netherlands, who chats with us about the situation there and how his platform is working to keep the spirit of our culture alive.

Elliptic Magazine was founded with the intention of connecting lesser represented places and spaces in the underground dance music community. However, in the wake of COVID19, we believe that is important to unify as a global community and represent everyone, no matter the region or space.

Friends of the mag, Brazilian label Yellow Island Records recently released a Various Artists compilation featuring artists from around the world.

There are some true gems on this compilation. Be sure to check it out. Just one example of all that is prospering in scenes across South America - the fire of South American techno is unreal!

“Yellow Island new various artists compilation features artists from all over the world and takes the listener on a journey of deep grooves and changing moods through a continuous soundscape. After the first VA, the second chronicles of the Brazil-based label on its quest to bring together artists from different countries and cultures with a common musical soul.”

Also available on Spotify, Bandcamp, Apple Music, etc.

"This is the story of how emigration from the Cape Verde Islands to Europe, propelled by despondence and upheaval at home, gave us an alternate history of the electronic music which captured the hearts and minds of partygoers and audiophiles across the world, giving rise to a new global music economy led by New York, Chicago, and London in the late 1990s."
