Reclaim Your City 661 | Neel

Half of boundary-pushing production outfit Voices From The Lake and co-founder of Spazio Disponibile, Neel is an Italian producer with a keen ear for complex, enveloping sonics; his ample, elegant pieces of music sitting right at the junction of beatless abstraction and intricate webs of electronic pulsations. Boasting his works’ most dynamic side, Neel’s debut transmission on RYC ushers us into a smouldering pit of molten steel and glassy membranes. Playing with echoes and latency as he builds his own multi-sensory experience out of eclectic fragments, Neel transports us to a zone where movement and inertia rule in concerted harmony, and your suddenly weightless body feels eventually free from today’s iteratively chaotic burden. Uplifting.

Reclaim Your City 667 | The Exaltics

Image
Bringing this month of Clone-ruled brilliance to a closure, legendary German act The Exaltics treat us to a face-melting avalanche of abrasive kick-n-snare-heavy assault and future-proof sound engineering. Championing that no-surrender electro pulse and the same acid-soaked dystopian atmospheres that innervate their whole discography, the two-hour set here presented showcases the uncompromising nature of The Exaltics sound: both rugged to the core and infinitely complex in its musical phrasing. The result is a highly corrosive and equally dynamic mosaic of paced-up fragments, polychromatic ambiences and that signature in-your-face punch wrapped in a post-apocalyptic cinematic envelope. Steel yourself for liftoff.

Reclaim Your City 658 | Alienata

Image
A gifted, sure-handed groove manipulator, Alienata has been carving out a niche for herself as one of the scene’s most reliable DJs in both actual floor impact and mixing skillset. Also curating the ever consistent Discos Atónicos, which she founded in 2017, she keeps on delivering sets that combine a wide array of styles, from dark disco to acid, through D-town electro, industrial and IDM outbursts with equal poise and gusto, time and again. Expert in chiselled transitions and pristine track selections, the Spanish born DJ builds her mixes like one creates mosaics, building a cohesive whole out of disparate rhythmic elements and tempi, while she snaps ankles and flips brains by the dozen along the way. Yet another faultless mix from a DJ whose palette and perspective here surface in all their abrasive, unadulterated glory. Jet propulsion activated.

Reclaim Your City 669 | DJ Surgeles

Image
Herald of a sound both punishingly jagged and haunted by the long heritage of Dutch industrial music, U.F.F. boss and Axis alum Kole Leijen aka DJ Surgeles steps in with a two hour mix reflecting his hard-boiled headspace, sprawling steely uptempo landscapes and further rapid-fire bursts of enslaving machine funk. Running the hoodoo down with masterly precision and undeniable flair, Kole amps up the pressure through a chiselled montage of titanium-coated big room wares, kaleidoscopic hi-tech motifs and abstract-leaning analogue techno stunts. Prime yourself for a wild ride across metamorphic, future-proof atmospheres and whirring fractals of sound.
