CF Premiere: Jëan Fixx – Pink Noise [INNFLEXIA]

Jëan Fixx, the musical alias of multidisciplinary artist Félix Fernández, has developed a language that moves across techno, electro, synth-wave, and EBM, shaping an identity where industrial textures and atmospheric depth coexist in constant tension. His trajectory spans labels such as iptamenosdiscos, Deep Different, Ruidodefondo, and Disctrl, alongside airplay across European and Latin American platforms. With INNFLEXIA, he extends his practice into a dedicated space for experimentation and the dissemination of contemporary electronic music.

With HINDSIGHT, his vision takes on a particularly focused form. Across 54 minutes, the album unfolds as an active reading of rave memory, deconstructing and reorganizing the codes that have shaped his trajectory. Techno, electro, EBM, electroclash, and synthpop emerge as layered elements within a narrative where the past remains dynamic—reactivated through a contemporary lens infused with psychedelic nuance and sustained emotional intensity.

The album’s structure feels like a process of accumulation. Acid textures, progressive arrangements, and a distinctive vocal approach create a space where the dancefloor becomes a site of introspection. Energy extends beyond physical drive, shifting toward a dimension where club experience gains symbolic weight. An implicit reflection emerges on rave culture as a space for identity formation, resistance, and emotional expansion.

Within this framework, “Pink Noise” introduces a particularly vivid shift. The track channels the hedonistic, nocturnal energy of early-2000s electroclash, articulated through sharp synth lines and an attitude that balances irony and seduction. References to artists like Tiga, DJ Hell, Miss Kittin, and The Hacker are filtered through a contemporary perspective, avoiding replication in favor of reinterpretation.

Its texture is defined by precision. Synths cut cleanly through the mix, while the groove sustains a steady, instinctive movement. A playful quality runs through the track, unfolding with lightness while retaining depth. Vocals act as another point of friction, adding character and reinforcing a sense of electrified nocturnality.

In this balance between memory and renewal, “Pink Noise” captures one of the album’s most direct gestures. It functions as an entry point into its sonic universe, where form and intent align with clarity. The result lingers—a frequency that remains active even after the track fades.

HINDSIGHT ultimately settles as a reconstruction where the dancefloor becomes a living archive. Nostalgia is set in motion rather than preserved, reorganizing the past through the present and leaving space for further evolution within its own system.

CF Interview | apaull: «Do you have the gunfactor?» On Furnace Room Recordings

Some albums arrive with a concept so precisely articulated that the music barely needs defending. Gunfactor, apaull’s new record on Furnace Room Recordings, is one of them. Ten tracks navigating the pathways to fame — and infamy — across a sonic palette that moves from techno to synthwave by way of industrial, always with an economy of means that signals someone who knows exactly what they’re doing. The title lettering is by Al Diaz, a past collaborator of Jean-Michel Basquiat. The photographs are by Dave Clarke. We spoke with apaull about the album, its contradictions, and the questions it leaves unanswered.

Club Furies: The title operates simultaneously in two languages with meanings that don’t contradict each other but pull in different directions. Was that tension intentional from the start, or did the linguistic ambiguity emerge during the process and you decided to let it do its work?

apaull: The tension was intentional. The Dutch meaning came first, though. I was having coffee with a Dutch booking agent and she said you need produce good music but also have the “gunfactor”, this intangible ’it factor’ to become successful (and famous). The immediate question is how does one achieve that “it factor”. The theme developed from there. Either you have exceptional talent which leads to fame or you are somehow notorious, which leads to infamy.

https://soundcloud.com/apaull_music/sets/gunfactor-8-tracks

Club Furies: The album draws an implicit distinction between earned fame and inflicted fame. Tracks like «Veilig» or «King Dome» seem to inhabit that grey zone where recognition arrives through circumstances no one would have chosen. How do you construct that difference narratively without collapsing into moral judgment?

apaull: Great question. While I have strong personal views I try to present things agnostically. I create perspectives in my tracks, that sometimes belie my personal views, but are really there to ask the listener what they think. It’s like listening to a painting. What do you hear and what do you think about it?

Club Furies: «Finishing School» summons something from another era that, by your own notes, «might still hold true today.» What strikes you as more unsettling: that those ideas persist, or that we still have to keep saying so?

apaull: “Finishing School” is a tongue in cheek examination of societal structure. In previous eras, roles were more clearly defined than they are today, if not over the top rigid. Today we find ourselves in jello, where structure has been systematically removed. We now live in an open concept society, if not over the top lax. “Finishing School’s” light hearted question is do we need some of that structure back.

Club Furies: The album has very specific geographies: Berlin in January, Detroit, New York implicit in «Veilig.» Do those physical contexts affect the compositional process technically — in the sound, the tempo, the processing — or do they function more as states of mind?

apaull: Both. I absorb where I am and this influences my state of mind and how I write. I write music almost continually and love writing in hotel rooms. For instance, the album track “Fang Mich” (Catch Me) was written and produced in Berlin. It captures the vibes I soaked in from the winter weather, Tresor & Berghain techno forays, a cold and jet lag. I live two hours from Detroit, the birthplace of techno, and go there for Movement each year. Detroit techno is pretty straight ahead but with indelible flashes of house. It is warmer than Berlin techno. The track “Veilig” (Safe) was written about something that happened in New York. I have been there many times and carry the vibe of this ‘infinite city’ with me.

Club Furies: «Cartel» proposes a kind of inverse moral relativism. It’s arguably the album’s most conceptually exposed position. What was the writing process like for that track: did you start from the concept or arrive at it through the music?

apaull: I came accross the vocal sample first and used it as the track’s foundation. I wrote the music around this sample (normally I do it the other way around). I found it interesting that a politician would compare a global body (World Economic Forum) to Columbian drug cartels, the point being that the espoused global organizations are cartels, in there own right. The pandemic made clear that this is the case.

https://open.spotify.com/intl-es/album/2zoMok0136WpNuiulxOrXq

Club Furies: «True Though» suggests that sufficient fame functions as a shield. What’s interesting is that the track doesn’t sound like furious critique — it sounds more like resignation. Is that emotional ambiguity deliberate, or is it what came out?

apaull: My song writing is about providing a perspective, without the proselytizing that fury might evoke. I create these track perspectives to be there subliminally, that is you will only hear them if you listen deeply and far away from the club. “True Though” is about how Canada’s now former prime minister could not remember how many times he had donned ‘black face’, was somehow not cancelled and was still able to ascend this high office. While I’m a firm believer in redemption, I doubt that other politicians would have received this benefit of the doubt.

Club Furies: You close the album with «Altamont Joy,» which ends on «You’re gonna look real crazy, being on the other side of that line.» That line can be read as a warning, a statement of fact, or an irony. Did you want it to be all three at once?

apaull: The sample, in question, was delivered, by the speaker, as an omimous warning. It presents two perspectives, the speaker’s and the other, across some imaginary dotted line into a philosophical ‘no mans land’. The point of the track is that we cannot function with this level of polarization because the ability to discuss and reach consensus is lost.

https://soundcloud.com/apaull_music/gunfactor-demo

Club Furies: Bringing in Al Diaz for the title lettering places the record in a visual conversation with eighties street art and everything that history implies. How did you come to him, and what did you want that choice to communicate?

apaull: I met him through my friend and artist, Jason Maclean, on one of my trips to New York, and was mesmerized by his history and works. I was quite taken by his lettering (assembled from New York Metropolitan Transit Authority posters). For the purposes of creating visual artistic continuity between my releases I thought this lettering would work well.

Club Furies: Every track on the album has a remix. That’s a structural decision, not an accessory one. What interests you about the dialogue between your version and another artist’s reinterpretation? Are there tracks where that tension feels particularly generative?

apaull: I made a decision, early on, to release on my own label because I was new, wanted full control of my music and didn’t think the slog of attracting label interest was a good use of my time. Working with remixers was a good alternative to labels. I work with remixers for two reasons: 1. To have them create more danceable and club friendly versions of a track; and 2. To introduce my music to their audiences. The bonus is that I have been able to work with artists who I respect and admire, and learn from them.

https://clubfuries.com.mx/2026/02/22/cfp-apaull-king-dome-pyrame-frr034/

Club Furies: Your music operates in a space where peak time and after-hours aren’t opposites but continuities. That implies a certain resistance to the kind of specialization the market tends to reward. How do you think about that position in relation to how electronic music circulates today?

apaull: I see my music as art. While notionally it fits into the techno genre, I spend no time trying to get it to fit what is being played in clubs. While I enjoy club music, I see what is produced as being derivitive more than specialization. Clubgoers enjoy this musical continuity and for producers it can be a pathway to success. There is nothing wrong with that. I work diligently to create a sound, that is grounded but unique, and then work even harder to find the right audience. My work with club friendly remixers, as described above, is an invitation to their audience to become part of mine. Over time, what I produce will continue to work its way into clubs and other venues.

Club Furies: Furnace Room Recordings is now thirty-six releases in. What does running your own label mean for a project like yours? Does the autonomy change what you’re willing to sign off on?

apaull: The label means I get to release what I want and build a solid catalog that I control. It is a platform that now allows me to present my music to potential labels, remixers and venues and work to attract their interest. My goal is to write and professionally produce interesting tracks. I only sign off on and release  tracks after my team has given their stamp of approval.

Club Furies: If the album asks «do you have the gunfactor?» — what’s your answer?

apaull: Ultimately, that is for others to decide, but, to save them some time I would say, YES.

Gunfactor is not a comfortable record, and it doesn’t try to be. It is a work that observes, with clinical detachment, the mechanisms by which the world rewards, ignores, or destroys people — and has the honesty not to offer solutions. In a circuit that often consumes itself in its own effervescence, apaull builds something slower and more durable: a body of work with edges, with conceptual texture, with the kind of coherence that can only come from someone who has been at this long enough not to need to impress anyone.

The question that titles the album stays open. Perhaps that is the only honest answer there is.

Gunfactor is released April 24, 2026 on Furnace Room Recordings (frr036), distributed by Superstition and available on all platforms. Remixes accompany the album as single and EP releases.

As a complement to the Gunfactor release, the inclusion of the Dina Summer Remix, set to be released on May 22, adds a significant layer of contemporary energy to the project. This remix not only reinterprets apaull’s sonic vision but also serves as a strategic bridge for listeners to further explore the creative process detailed in this interview.

CF Premiere: Carara, Valentin Zad – Natural Resources [trau-ma]

Some collaborations add. Others multiply. This is the second kind. When two artists with such distinct individual talent decide to work together, the result could go in any direction —and here it goes in exactly the right one. We’re talking about Carara and Valentin Zad, two Germany-based artists whose union for this release doesn’t sound like an experiment or an opportunity: it sounds like something that had to happen.

The label hosting them says everything about the level of the bet. Trau-ma is one of those imprints that exists in the circuit for the right reasons —not for volume of releases but for consistency of judgment and quality of catalog. That Carara and Valentin Zad choose this space to present their collaboration is, in itself, a statement of intent. Two top-tier talents on one of the best labels in the circuit: the equation is as simple as it is powerful.

https://clubfuries.com.mx/2026/04/04/cfp-cat-can-do-carara-our-perception-drss1375/

The result is titled Delusión —a three-track original collection: Delusion, Hidden Pains, and Natural Resources. Few tracks, no filler, all the density concentrated in exactly the right space. This is the kind of EP that doesn’t need length to justify itself —it justifies itself track by track, layer by layer.

https://soundcloud.com/clubfuriess/cfp-carara-valentin-zad-natural-resources-trm388

«Natural Resources» carries a sobriety in its name that the sound confirms from the very first second. Its sounds are constant, precise, and piercing —they don’t run loose, don’t frenzy easily, don’t reach for easy impact. But that contained edge strikes with a certain violence mediated by impeccable sound design that knows exactly how much pressure to apply and when to release.

The track stabilizes at very high notes of intensity, and from there its climax doesn’t explode —it becomes an ethereal valley, interrupted in time and space as if someone had paused the universe for an instant. What follows is the synthesis of multiple determinations converging into a final texture, built on a parallel running through the entire sonic structure and its layers that, somehow, seem to have frozen in time, advancing in an alternate manner —neither forward nor backward, but in a direction only this track knows.

CF Signals: DJ SUNSHINE – Sloppy Day In UK [OMERTA]

From Russia, OMERTA continues shaping a catalog where emotion moves as a subtle yet persistent current. Its motto—“My sorrow is light!”—finds a precise translation in DJ Sunshine. UK N/A, a five-track release, unfolds as an exercise in temperature: a light that settles into dense surfaces and moves through them from within.

The record operates within compact digital textures, where warmth begins to circulate rather than break through. A memory of classic house pulses beneath the surface, embedded in the present as active motion. The sound carries a familiarity that emerges through the body before it registers as reference.

https://clubfuries.com.mx/2026/02/23/cfp-ronin-the-pain-inside-outro-omerta/

Its structure rests on wide, grounded basslines that anchor the dancefloor. Around them, analog layers introduce a soft grain, almost tactile, while vocals surface as orientation points within the flow. Everything advances with clarity, allowing each element to settle into place and build a continuous expansion.

Movement develops without abrupt gestures. The groove opens and sustains itself, creating a steady circulation of energy. The dancefloor responds through prolonged attention, where warmth accumulates and redistributes with each transition. DJ Sunshine shapes this space with precision, adjusting density while preserving lightness.

https://soundcloud.com/clubfuriess/cfp-dj-sunshine-sloppy-say-in-uk-omerta

Within this framework, “Sloppy Day in UK” reveals a particularly refined quality. The track glides with a softness that seems to hover over its own rhythm, while maintaining an internal electric charge that gradually activates the body. Its progression remains steady, grounded yet fluid.

Vocals appear as intermittent flashes, fragments of memory cutting through the surface. They introduce an expanded sense of time, where past and present vibrate together. The texture remains clean and luminous, giving each layer room to breathe.

The result is a piece that integrates seamlessly into the release, reinforcing its identity through nuance. UK N/A finds its persistence in these details—a warmth that lingers, a light that continues to move long after the track fades.

CF Signals: n-trip – Amplify [Armen Crew]

ntrip² doesn’t start from a fixed place: it builds itself in the in-between space. It doesn’t seek to define itself but to displace —and that, precisely, is its clearest statement of intent. From there, n-trip arrives at Armen Crew with a four-track EP that moves along the edges: electro, techno, and breakbeat in constant tension, without settling into any one of them. This is not indecision —it’s a deliberate stance against the comfort of categories.

https://clubfuries.com.mx/2021/08/02/premiere-club-furies-john-deere-420-tribute-to-konoha-la-grande-gudule-x-garage-83-c-x-armen-crew/

Composed on Gadigal land, the release works from a clear idea: movement within ambiguity. Rhythms mutate, textures collide, and tension accumulates at that precise point where structure ceases to be rigid and flow takes control. There is no linearity here, only transitions —and that difference is not a small one. Each track operates as an open system in permanent adjustment, responding to its own unfolding rather than to any preset form. The result is music you can’t fully anticipate, and which for that very reason keeps attention alive from beginning to end.

https://clubfuries.com.mx/2024/04/01/club-furies-premiere-ert-introspection-armen-crew/

The expansion arrives with remixes from Ritmu, Interimm, and Capon, which don’t reinterpret but reconfigure. From a minimalist and cognitive precision to passages that are more melodic and emotionally charged, each version shifts the axis without breaking the continuity of the whole. These aren’t alternative readings of the same material: they are sonic states in transformation, where boundaries dissolve and energy remains in constant motion. An EP that grows beyond itself.

https://soundcloud.com/clubfuriess/cfp-n-trip-amplify-arm009

«Amplify» functions as exactly what its name announces —an amplifier. But it does so from a completely unexpected place: not through volume or raw intensity, but through a patient, sober, and masterfully handled sound design that amplifies from within, almost in silence. Throughout the entire track, electro and techno blur subtly into a connivance so natural it never feels forced —they coexist as if they had always spoken the same language. And when the synthesis arrives, it does so amid cybernetic decouplings in the sonic circuits that don’t close the track but open it toward another dimension —one the ear takes a second to recognize, but the body grasps immediately.

CF Premiere: THISISTHX – IC 4351 [Illegal Alien Records]

THISISTHX does not arrive as a newcomer—he returns with intent and a sharper sense of direction. His second appearance on Illegal Alien Records is not a repetition but a statement of progression, reinforcing a trajectory that has been both consistent and deliberate. From Portugal, his project has taken shape through a clear vision: forward-driven, precise techno with no detours or compromises. The evolution is evident—a defined artistic identity and sustained momentum that places him within a new generation that doesn’t wait for space, but actively builds it.

https://clubfuries.com.mx/2025/09/02/cfp-thisisthx-unknown-balances-cfs10/

His sound operates within a clearly defined field: raw, tense, and stripped of ornamentation. Percussive rhythms push forward with force, supported by a mental layer that maintains constant pressure and an energy that refuses to dissipate. There are no unnecessary peaks here—only control, measured intensity, and a sharp understanding of techno’s essential dynamics. Each track reflects this balance, delivering both physical impact and conceptual clarity.

https://clubfuries.com.mx/2026/04/14/cfp-dj-dextro-sintetico-iarltdt021/

With Point of No Return, a four-track EP, THISISTHX further solidifies this language. These are tracks built for high-impact environments, yet grounded in structural coherence and discipline. Rather than a final destination, the EP acts as a threshold—a decisive step forward that projects his evolution while reinforcing his place within contemporary techno. On Illegal Alien Records, the relationship doesn’t repeat—it deepens. The result is a collection of brutal, hypnotic cuts moving in parallel through unknown territories, somewhere between ancestral deserts and unexplored sonic landscapes.

https://soundcloud.com/clubfuriess/cfp-thisisthx-ic-4351-iar396

IC 4351 unfolds as a smooth yet deeply hypnotic piece. Subtle layers accumulate with effortless fluidity as the rhythm progresses toward what feels like purple-tinted, almost utopian terrains. The climax arrives quickly, yet in a gradual, velvety manner. Beyond that point, the sound dissolves into ethereal atmospheres and suspended time, where body and mind remain motionless, absorbed. This state extends ad infinitum, ultimately taking full control over both psyche and physical response.
