OPERATION_ACTION

Anima - Shadows

Racine uses sound to transcend the contemporary hellscape. Far from indulging in purely hedonistic escapism or nihilistic detachment, the celebrated Canadian producer confronts difficult emotions head-on, embracing tension and turbulence. Each release reformulates uncertainty into haunted soundscapes bristling with detail, weaving fractured samples, mutant melodies and glacial electronics into a hyper-real reflection of modern living. New two-track single Delirium focuses those same future-seeking sonics into Racine’s most direct – not to mention surprising – work to date.

Side A coalesces the producer’s amorphous electronics into a crystalline dancefloor workout. Soaring vocals clipped from a New Age radio broadcast glide atop ruffneck drums, with noctilucent synth pads and fizzing ambience seeping in through the cracks. Racine’s signature sense of unease and melancholy is still very much present, though here lurking in the track’s low-end and on the periphery; an overwhelming endorphin rush threatening to tip into amphetamine anxiety at any moment. Side B explodes outwards from that same sound palette, dancefloor hooks atomised into formless textures, eschewing melody and rhythm as it reaches toward even more ecstatic heights.

Delirium provides an exhilarating expansion of Racine’s soundworld, demonstrating his prowess as a producer even while moving into new contexts, and speaking to a distinct need for ecstatic release and transcendence.

ALL TRACKS WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY FLORENT HADJINAZARIAN IN ST FONS, FRANCE.
INSPIRED AND DEDICATED TO "MELANCHOLIA DER ENGEL"
MASTERING BY DANIEL MUMBERSON
DESIGN BY MON


Bringing on the cold rush, seven tracks, all 3:33 long, Hajj’s sound is among the most distinctive in his field on ‘No Soul, No God, No Devil, No Existence’. Influenced by Marian Dora's 2009 film 'The Angels' Melancholia', the album is perhaps best defined by the stark negative ecstasy of its highlight ‘Drag Me Into the Void’, presenting Hajj as a master of collage-like structure, in possession of a compelling grasp of atmosphere. It stands out from much of the contemporary french music we’re aware of for its oblique rejection of club muscularity in favour of more unusual, weightless pressure and suggestively gestural arrangements. That’s not to say it’s not ripe for certain moments in the club, it just doesn’t give them readily.

Beginning like Biosphere doing dankest road rap with DJ Lostboi (anyone checked that Nedarb cut lurking on Æ’s Bandcamp purchase list yet?) in ‘Our Lady of Darkness’, he holds an immaculately dark-but-lush appeal from the K-hole nightmare of ‘Loosing U 4 Ever’ to the cosmic plangency of ‘Vox Tenebrae’, meting out discomfiting intro rap like a fantasy Croww x Ronce in ‘Heaven’s Calamity’, and like Spectre x Pan Daijing in ‘Do U Remember Bein Born’, while his ear for saliva-inducing textures comes to fruition on the voyeuristic vortex of ‘Burning Illusions’, perfectly distilling the cold rush on an original mix of the glorious ‘Drag Me Into the Void’.

Our Lady Of Darkness

From the album "What Stays In Vegas" out 22 November.

A chance meeting in Bucharest two summers ago saw Ratty Slay Johnson and Soopie reunite. It has been a much discussed topic amongst art and music circles as to how and why Rat Section abruptly fell into obscurity in the late 90s and up to this point their sudden disappearance remains a mystery.

Their sparse back catalogue seems inaccessible now. A dedicated collecting community known as ‘Club Rodentia’ sought to preserve their tape and vinyl output, amassing releases from Ratty Slay Johnnie’s sophomore release ‘Tails from Estonia’ to Soopi and Slay John’s last known excursion ‘Tashkent Knights’.

An unfortunate occurrence led to the destruction of this archive in 2005. Member of Club Rodentia Carlos Moscato was quoted in an article of NME magazine saying “In the dark of night, a fire emerged, I was responsible at the time for the care of the archive, as standard Rodentia protocol we would move the collection every 3 months, for both preservation and for local access to Rat Sections catalogue. On the final night of my duty I heard footsteps, a crash, and before my eyes years of hard work erupted in flames. Since this incident I haven’t found even a crumb of Rat Sections body of work and people say we will never see them again." Carlos Moscato was correct, until now.

Rat Section have been active for the last two years with appearances in London, Berlin, Malmö, Melbourne, Paris and Los Angeles, it looks like we are finally going to hear Rat Section again. They have found a home for their debut album on Halcyon Veil.

Rat Section are back in the spotlight.
