22 summer storms, 22 celebrations of music from today. 

Posh Isolation turns 10 this year. 
We celebrated in Copenhagen for three days and three nights - Port Out, Starboard Home. Some people could not 
be there, some forms change — we honour them by celebrating again, digitally. 

Make the day come alive again. 

'Summer Storms' wades through the heat, never quite settling, yet taking in every surrounding. Gather everyone 
together, celebrate a shared motif. 

Come stream with us. 

Clear skies. A raving harbour. The best storms cancel plans. 

Make the day come alive again, 

today. 

Dedicated to Ezra

Experimental EP by Actapulgite on "ExlipseTribez" records.
Actapulgite The elusive artist appeared on the radar a couple of years ago, with some self-released output that has long vanished. Maybe it’s somewhere on Soulseek? He tried really hard to eliminate this evidence. A bit later, some more life signs appeared, briefly; two tapes on UNREF followed, spawning interest in his persona.
Le Butin (The Loot) It’s the struggle of the fish; will it stay trapped, or will it fight its way to freedom? The suspense and anticipation are tangible, as the poacher, the fish and we are unsure of what’s next. It’s a track that’s upbeat, fast, and building up to... what exactly? What’s the relief? We won’t tell you. Nor will the birds that are chirping in panic.
"Le Malin" EP with 4 new tracks is about to come out on vinyl later in September.

Racine - Quelque Chose Tombe
Cat. Nr: DN016
Format: LP / DL
Release Date: 21 February 2020

Hidden in plain sight, grinning through worry, living in insecurity – modern society has returned to a day-by-day race for survival. To be vulnerable is the new normal; afraid, a bare minimum. Something was bound to emerge from the quiet throngs of the new precariat, and Racine is such a voice, setting to music those modern lives defined by uncertainty.

Quelque Chose Tombe (‘Something Falls’) is a set of compositions that confronts demons both inner and outer head-on. Created during a period of necessary unemployment somewhere in Montreal – caring for one’s health can take precedence over work – the music is both a grotesque dance of the goblins and the gentle opiatic breath of the protectors. It’s a harrowing reflection of the prevalent vampiric hypochondria forcing a generation into fatigue.

The sounds crawling out of Racine speak with their own internal logic. Snippets of fractured tunes creak through perturbed post-digital soundscapes, blurred and fragmented along the way into haunting amorphous instrumentals. The two-part title track is multi-part sonic maze where raven-like pitch bent notes gather, a broken rave theme punctures its way through bass fog, and silence clefts the music in two, ushering in a coda of heartbroken ambience. As the album’s suite progresses, Racine shepherds mutant melodic themes in and out of earshot, like clear thoughts bringing temporary order to a state of emotional panic and withdrawal. A host of other sounds too – voices and birdsong, cybernetically deformed – populate Racine’s scarred productions.

Emerging from Quelque Chose Tombe’s constant darkness however, is a latent sense of hope. Racine is turning modern vulnerability into a strength, creating a singular aesthetic to reflect and confront an uncomfortable present.

Show #02: @ecology141
Musician, founder and curator of the Kiiberborea art platform that was inspired by solarpunk ideas and brought together artists all over the world. There are four releases and 6 mixes in the platform catalog and also online concerts series which is held since 2019.
    
Year 2120. The world is experiencing the effects of climate change. Most of the land is flooded, and huge masses of survivors are concentrated in terrible metropolises where the population has become slaves of corporations that control resources. But there are rumors among people about secret settlements on the newly formed islands. 
    After a long search, you arrive at such an island. According to rumors, the local settlers live in harmony with nature and have high technology combined with unique culture. 
    Walking around the island you meet a man who is one of the settlers. He is glad to see you and agrees to lead. On the way, he says that his main interest is finding experimental music records from the past. He search it in private collections and in the abandoned server rooms around the world. Then he takes out device that looks like a speaker to show you fresh artifacts.
