The holiday season is upon us. The cold has arrived on Madrid’s city streets and to combat it WE FORFEIT have gathered together two hours of sizzling electronics to warm the cockles.

V/A :: Electronics Memoriae II (Giano Electronics)
Electronics Memoriae II builds on Giano Electronics Vol. 1. New artists-in-arms have been drafted in for their expression of electro as well as members of the established guard. An EP that shines light on the fertile electronic underground in the Italian capital.
Uf0 :: Uf0 (Fourier Transform)
García sculpts his sounds within the frames of acid, braindance and electro with obvious influences from breaks and IDM. What can be surprising is the length of pieces, few running over the four minute mark. Despite their brevity, these are works bursting with emotion and energy.
Featherstone :: Pivot (Ernest’s Way)
The A-Side contrasts the flip, beat patterns and samples recalling British machine experimentation with breakbeat and jungle. On the B, techno is the focal point with the Australian musician plumbing hidden depths.
WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #45 — Mixtape, Featherstone
Through our shows, interviews and mixes, we’ve tried to present electronics with a difference, electronics that make a difference. To the snowy peaks of Canada with Solvent, to the dusty plains of Almería with Mynationshit, our objective is giving a greater audience to what is already great. This month is no exception.
Nuron :: DAT Tapes Vol 02 (De:tuned)
Interestingly, DAT Tapes Vol 02 casts light on a style that Jusat is not known for. There are moments of his trademark techno, but it is a more floor centric house that is at the heart of the record. The depth of previous productions is less evident, the explorations on offer being more rhythmic than melodic.
WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #44
Our celebration, a devil-may-care romp in the aural delights of the machines, opens with some recent beauts from Gated before dipping into acid, breakbeat, electro and techno with records from Amenthia, Betonkust, Gated Recordings, Klasse Wrecks and heaps more.
V/A :: Clear Memory 012 (Clear Memory)
A cornerstone of the Leipzig imprint has been drawing on local talent, gathering fellow machinists on compilations to showcase the talent of their city and their sound. Clear Memory 012 is the eighth such collection to date.
