IRIY.frequencies

Bass music, a zeitgeist of contemporary electronic music, remains a true reflection of our times. With the technical progress of sound systems, warehouse club culture, and the fusion of hip-hop and techno becoming the new “pop”, it’s at the forefront of music today. Yet, there’s much more to explore. “Iriy Frequencies” hosted by geyera, is our attempt to remedy this situation in Ukraine and the global audience of 20ft Radio.

The series will explore various facets of bass music, including juke, flux house, post-club, and concepttronica. Our goal is to showcase sets that comprehensively represent the key players of this scene. We believe that labels are crucial actors in the industry, as they are like mini-cultures with their own ideologies, perspectives, technical specialties, and teams of musicians and technicians. Therefore, we will dedicate a separate episode to each label, treating them as individual entities.

Livity Sound w/ monotronique - 22/03/2024

Join us for the third episode of Iriy Frequencies, as we delve into the roots of modern bass music with a focus on two influential labels from the UK leftfield scene: Livity Sound and its experimental counterpart, Dnuos Ytivil. This episode is exclusively curated by Montronique, a resident of Livity Sound, who has prepared a selection showcasing the depth and diversity of the label's offerings.

Livity Sound, inspired by the Rastafarian concept of life-force, was established in 2011 by dubstep pioneer Peverelist. While rooted in UK Garage, the label has explored modern dub and fluxwork, shaping modern bass music genres and nurturing artists in traditional styles. Dnuos Ytivil, its darker twin, offers a collection of heavier, more experimental urban bass music.

N.A.A.F.I. w/ geyera - 16/02/2024

Tune into the heart of Mexico City, with the second episode featuring one of the most established and oldest post-club labels, N.A.A.F.I.

The label aims to overcome the self-doubt present in the local Mexican electronic music scene and revive the local musical aesthetic. Consequently, N.A.A.F.I. releases music inspired by local electronic music trends like dembow and reggaeton while recontextualizing Western styles such as techno and house. These sounds are fused to create a blend of deconstructed and often ironic music. This blend is termed “tribal,” contrasting with the music of malinchismo (the local name for structured Western genres). It combines percussive, conceptual, and polyrhythmic sounds to create a unique musical narrative.
