TRACKLIST + INTERVIEW > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/ia-mix-381-gamma-intel Operating in the neighbourhood of Rotterdam, one of its finest electro technicians @gammaintelligence is a steady and sharp signal in the network of the local Dutch underground. Uninhibited, cerebral-tickling, sound architecture deploys serious craftsmanship honed from meticulously polishing every texture from his singular, chiselled perception of audio design over constructive time. Outside his explosive production unit, Gamma Intel activates the same intellect on any territory, dancefloors or otherwise, spinning oddball hot numbers to make you sweat. A perfectionist by nature, he commits to disruptive, magnetic rhythms, all assembled with a curious mind deliberately free from restraints, forming a hyper-vortex music experience. Rest assured, the trooper Dutchman strikes with sweet bullseye precision on the brand-new treat of an IA MIX 381, hammering sound selections sourced and refined on his laboratory work table. Mechanical whirrs and a barrage of bolstered beats crackle in this tasty execution from Gamma Intel—setting forth a blaze hard to quench. Feel the warmth.

Special FreePalestine! episode dedicated to all the Palestinians under siege and fighting to hold onto their homes and their loved ones while the Israeli state continues to massacre people and steal Palestinian land, as they have for many decades. I urge everyone who isn't already supporting the Boycott Divest Sanctions movement to read up on it - you can do so here bdsmovement.net/ - and support the boycott of the apartheid Israeli state. I have also included two short interview excerpts on this mix from the 1970s record "Palestine Lives!" for some historical context. On my Soundcloud I have posted a number of places to donate and support. This episode is also dedicated to my partner and her family, as well as all my friends and colleagues breaking their fast over this next 24 hours. Eid Mubarak! These selections celebrate Muslim musicians, including Ahmadi Muslims.
