Breed Intelligence publishes playlists for 5th show with &Them Records

Breed Intelligence and co-host &Them Records have published the tracklist for episode 5, broadcast on Saturday, the 5th of December 2020 on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an underground electronic music radio station, DJ agency and promoter publishing music news and connecting audiences across the Asian region and internationally.

Breed Intelligence is the project of Alexander McCann, a DJ, producer and label operator originally from London, currently based in Spain. His production style is built around bassy, dark and intelligent sounds that draw from over fifteen years of involvement in the underground party scene, with deep roots in London's electronic music community.

His approach resists confinement to a single genre, with a boundless passion for music that spans multiple areas of electronica. Returning to the scene with renewed purpose, this episode highlights a selection of tracks he has been developing in the studio, with releases planned for the coming months.

Breed Intelligence functions as both an alias and a record label, dedicated to giving exposure to new producers and artists from around the globe. &Them Records, the Spain-based label drawing from the darker and more minimal end of electronic music, return as co-hosts for another episode that previews their developing sound ahead of their upcoming releases.

Guest DJ &Them Records.

Co-hosting this week is &Them! Records, a Spain-based label drawing from the darker and more minimal end of electronic music, with artists including Pig and Dan and Boris Brejcha among their key influences. The label formed from a shared passion between two dance music enthusiasts, with Adolfo Llano, known as &Them, at its centre.

Adolfo was born in Oviedo, Spain and came into contact with electronic music from an early age. A period of study in Ireland in 2000 proved pivotal, when a Paul Oakenfold experience sparked a deeper interest that would develop into a lasting passion for the genre.

After years of travelling and experiencing music cultures across the world, he settled in Madrid in 2015. A connection with friend Mattia Torrione, known as Torrione, gave him a platform to begin demonstrating his skills behind the decks, moving across deep house and progressive and collaborating with DJs including Jaime O'Connor for Berlinale events across venues in the capital.

As co-hosts of the show, &Them! Records use the platform to preview material from their upcoming releases, giving listeners an early look at the sound they are building ahead of the official launch.

Breed Intelligence Episode 05 hands the full selection to &Them! Records for an episode that stays close to Melodic House and Techno throughout. Be Svendsen's Scarecrow opens with a warm Organic House quality, the Norwegian producer's desert-influenced sound establishing an atmospheric tone from the outset.

Fideles's The Secret of Eos and Alan Woods's The Love House carry the set through Melodic House and Deep House territory before Quivver's I'm Bob and Darlyn Vlys's Night Hunter develop a deeper and more minimal direction. Sotto and Cassian's Nova and Kasper Koman's Hi carry the set into Progressive House and Melodic House territory before Undercatt's Atlantico sustains the melodic direction.

Adriatique's Buchlas Dreaming follows before Xenia and Greenjack's Kevlar and Nicole Moudaber and SCB's Seeing It Through push the set towards harder Techno and Peak Time territory.

Dushanbe's AfterU and Tropical Heat's Bart Skills sustain the driving direction before Einmusik's Pheasant and Erly Tepshi's Miss You return to Melodic House and Techno warmth.

Wurtz and Iberian Muse's Algorithm delivers a second Organic House moment, the duo returning from the previous episode's first hour with a similar earthy and atmospheric quality. Marino Canal's Rubirosa develops the Progressive House and Melodic direction before Ae:Ther contributes two consecutive selections, Spektre II and Raven, their presence giving the episode's closing section a focused and consistent identity.

Adriatique's Ray closes the episode, the Swiss duo bookending the selection with two appearances that frame Breed Intelligence 05 with some of the underground's most respected Melodic House and Techno programming.

Breed Intelligence Episode 05 is the most melodically focused episode in the series so far, &Them! Records curating a selection that stays close to the atmospheric and driving qualities of Melodic House and Techno while allowing occasional detours into Organic House and Progressive House throughout.
