▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

For a long time the figures behind the HATE 12”s that appeared to cultish acclaim on theModern Love [Record Label] sublabel remained shadowy. The choppy jungle samples, ominous moods and Modern Love connection pointed in a certain direction, however, and it was no big surprise that the culprits were revealed as Miles Whittaker, Andy Stott and G.H. when a live cassette featuring a massive dark jungle live session was released under the HATE name last year.

For this New Codes, Atonal has invited HATE collaborators Miles Whittaker and G.H. to takeover the entire Globus room for the entire duration of the night. They play a special live show together, and have also invited Lee Gamble to enter the mix, going back to back with Miles to showcase their common interest in crate-digging and unexpected sound combinations and to explore a shared love of rave culture, jungle, and a whole lot more.

Downstairs in Tresor, the legendary Peter Van Hoesen (Official) has been invited back by the Berlin Atonal family after his memorable performance with Yves De Mey as Sendai at last years festival. This time he showcases his characteristic version of bass-heavy techno in the vault. Joining him in the basement is Oliver Ho’s Broken English Club. The project’s swelling underground reputation after the Violence & Divinity split with Silent Servant was bolstered with the release of the Scars EP on Jealous God. In the Broken English Club guise the UK techno veteran brings a pulsating, industrial and ritualistic brand of pitch-black techno to New Codes.

Peder Mannerfelt recent productions under his own name on labels such as We Can Elude Control, Digitalis and Archives Intérieures have safely secured his reputation as one of the most interesting, unusual and capable producers of recent years. He draws his musical influences from far and wide – stylistically and geographically – and promises to deliver some of the most riveting music out there.

Washington born MC Njena Jarvis started her musical endeavors by recording disses on a tape recorder with her brother at age 10. Fast forward to 2012 and Njena was persuaded to spit a few bars on a beat for fabulous Zebra Katz. Then substituting the tape-recorder for a laptop, Njena laid down a verse on ‘Ima Read’, a recording which was later picked up and released by Diplo’s label Mad Decent. It also provided the soundtrack for the launch of fashion designer Rick Owens’ winter collection, causing fervor across music and fashion blogs alike and cementing the track as one of the year’s underground cult anthems.

She decided to tour Europe together with Zebra Katz, performing for crowds in the thousands at festivals such as Glastonbury. The energy of these crowds further cultivating her signature acrobatic style of stage performance. But it is in her solo work where Njena truly excels.

Early releases such as Dominos, Jackie Brown and Needful Things see Njena in an all out attack, combining combative verses with an infectious flow. Raw and unadulterated sounds contrasting smooth, fluid vocals with playfully aggressive lyrics, carrying an old-school ‘rap-battle’ feel with them.

And while she resists falling into the clichéd hip-hop trap of listing influences and inspirations, her early days spent listening to Wu Tang Clan’s 36 Chambers and dissing her brother on tape may go some way in explaining her no-holds-barred attitude on the mic and the playfulness of her performance.

After a brief break in 2014 Njena and producer Jepordise currently started working on new tracks again and a video is in the making as well
