Time for another Twitch Stream! We’ve got a crazy B***Y BOP SHOP stream today with our favorite and a special guest of theirs 🍑🍑🛒 As we will not be broadcasting on The Other Radio this week, we’ll be giving a sneaky preview of the show accompanied with some wild visual accompaniment on our Twitch from 11-1am SAST 🔗 LINK IN BIO ⚠️

Here’s notes from our guests:

Hi I’m Jade (cunntdesgarcons), Born and always loyal to NY but moved around a lot due to a military family. Back in 2013 while living in Germany I discovered DJing and non-Americanized electronic music and fell in love/been djing ever since. Now I use it as an outlet for my identity because of the richness of electronic and club culture that comes from q***r POC.

Honored to have bless the last B***y Bop Shop ciringe takeover show. Her mix perfectly encapsulates the all night booty-bouncing, body-swaying, make-u-sweat, true music lover vibe. 𖤍 The second half of the mix by ciringe comes at you fast and hard...never dipping below 160bpm. Strap in and get ready for a hypersonic, deranged joyride. ⚔ ⍟ ⚔

Join us in the chat for what promises to be a bazonkers two hour mix of the gooood stuff. Thank you Cindy and Jade for your time and effort, you’re the baddest! Much love 🛒🛍🍑

Hello everybody ⚗🧬

We are extremely excited to announce that we have released a Fear & Self Loathing Single entitled, ‘:OSCILLATION’! 💣

With inspiration taken from a massive, KAGE sample, the boys created this track for uncle FRNGE's BOREDOM BEAT BATTLE as the target audience. However, after re-mixing a longer edit and preparing it for CDJs and club sound systems, they’ve decided to put it out for all to enjoy. 🥳🩺

This duo focuses their efforts on an esoteric ear and not so much on the commercial realm. However, for them, this is a perfect filter to reach those who truly will enjoy their sounds, and more importantly, appreciate the artistry and taste behind their creativity.

Bass Music is at the centre of this genre-collision but influences of Footwork, Breaks, UK Bass as well as what some might call Techno are all part of the recipe. It doesn’t matter what you’d coin it, just spare an ear for :OSCILLATION because there’s a good chance it’ll make you want to get up and dance. 🌡🦠

“Life is short. It thunders by. And, if you like the music, you’ve got to get up and dance - just do it.” - Annie Mac.

Head on over and cop yourself a download - it's 'name your price'.

ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE LAB 🔥⚗️🧪

We are absolutely thrilled to inform you of our second release titled, ‘BEAKER BEATS vol. 1’ which is another compilation of tracks produced between the KL team members available on the 7th May 2021 🥳🔬

Today we’re throwing Qi M0N0’s stellar contribution your way to introduce the EP and give a taste of what’s to come. She’s been hard at work over in Amsterdam appearing on various live streams and radio shows whilst simultaneously studying a degree in Electronic Music Production 🤩👽

‘No Boost’ was created for a college project where she had the opportunity to work with her lecturer, Julien Chaptal, in his kitted studio space. Strong influences of Electro, House, and Techno are prominent throughout this wild journey where we’re presented with a beautifully blended mixture of harder and softer sonic elements. The distortion and grit of certain sounds combined with the clarity and warmth of others work together creating a magnificently soothing contrast in the soundscape. All-in-all an amazing piece that makes for great listening, a little bit of emotional tickling, and some uncontrollable foot-tapping 👯‍♀️🧬

Coming together with a very well-balanced mix from her and a banging master from JBS Music Design to top it off, we are excited to sneak you a peak of Qi M0N0’s ‘No Boost’ 👘🔥

Enjoy!! 🖤
