D-Node 206: Energun | Belarus

This week we present Energun, an interesting live act from Belarus (Eastern Block). Their promos caught the attention of Droid members due to their unique take on hard groove techno and their prolific output (the Concentration EP can be heard on Raíz's latest Blankcode Podcast).

It was only natural we share their sounds with our...

D-Node 202: Myk Derill | RE(FORM)

Myk Derill's approach fuses dub zones and experimental noise-scapes into a mix that is both hard and spaced-out; a hypnotic, repetitive field that melts from one track into another. As a producer he's proven himself on RE(FORM), Fluxus, Knotweed, Steadfast, and more labels, and this week he shares a set for the 202nd episode of D-Node. Enjoy.
