For its last release of 2023, When We Dip XYZ is proud to present a three tracks remix pack of Motip White's 'Clean the Turbines' EP. Kicking things off is atish, chopping and pitching Motip White's vocal from 'What Do You Want Me to Say' in his remix. The Manjumasi label-boss complements the track with a rolling bassline, glitches hitting left right and centre as well as the gritty bass fills from the original. Also taking on 'What Do You Want Me to Say', Gespona & Djolee craft huge percussions rolls and manipulate White's layers and textures. The two artists, which have just launched their own label 'Rummel', leave place for the memorable hook halfway through, which then recedes in favour of the heavy drums. Third up is Meera with her take of 'Clean the Turbines'. Faithful to her style, which has recently been showcased on VOD and Crosstown Rebels, she opposes a subby kick with a tempest of hats & shakers, harmonically guided by a light piano. The Norwegian producer keeps on building the energy, surprisingly introducing her own vocals and an acid layer on the arp as the tune unfolds.

When Stars Align

ICONYC steps into new territory with Traffk, a spellbinding EP from UVITA, Twiins, and Motip White. Built around two deeply immersive compositions, Traffk operates as a threshold rather than a destination — a carefully measured passage into unfamiliar territory where tension is curated, expectations are subverted, and every detail feels deliberately withheld until the right moment. At the center lies the title track, Traffik, a commanding convergence of three distinct creative voices distilled into a singular, unsettling vision. Suspended between austere minimalism and intricate design, the piece unfolds with a forceful rhythmic backbone that plunges into subterranean depths. Twisting brass motifs flicker and bend like fractured light across polished surfaces, creating an atmosphere that is both tactile and elusive. As the groove locks into a hypnotic oscillation, a spectral vocal presence emerges, injecting a sense of weight and foreboding before the track fractures inward, collapsing into a violent release that ejects us from its vortex with uncompromising intensity. On our B-side, UVITA and Twiins reconvene for Lucy Tried For It, a continuation that trades overt drama for a slow-burning psychological pull. Anchored by a prowling low-frequency current and a relentless percussive drive, the track draws us deeper through carefully placed sonic detonations that expand its spatial dimension. Gradually, malfunctioning mechanical textures and distant, almost feral cries seep into the framework, setting the stage for an introspective spoken-word moment that nudges the piece further into the subconscious. As fragmented melodic elements begin to surface, Lucy Tried For It reaches a moment of suspended reflection before surging forward once more, closing the EP on an emotionally charged and resolute note.
