EP4 'An Ocean of Ink in a Single Drop' on Netil Radio Live Improv/DJ 26 - 03 - 21

Pre-order : https://ar-fm.bandcamp.com/album/stakhanov
Release date: June 2, 2021

One year and a half after Jaroska’s ’Red Room Offering’ release, Lyon-based AR/FM label is back with the fourth imprint of its catalog, due for June 2021.
Following the label’s aim of exploring a widened techno spectrum while working with and promoting unsung talented friends, AR/FM is about to provide another beautiful piece of music, this time from ephemeral trio Stakhanov.

This eponymous LP offers 55 minutes of dense, fluctuant electronic experimentations, taking inspirations in the relentless Soviet worker myth. Its frantic and industrial overall atmosphere, set by sharp yet harsh paces, is eventually pulled to pieces by murky and hallucinated ambient acts, depicting a way darker story than the one told by the USSR propaganda.  
Thus, one rhetorical question remains: Could this unhealthy man-a-machine glorification come to any different end than madness?

Based upon Hugo Charpentier’s drawings, that can be found both on inner and outer sleeves, the 7-track album definitely takes advantage of its visual dimension, resulting in an elegant double-12” black-&-white gatefold layout. 

Releasing Stakhanov was also for AR/FM a way to pay tribute to the golden era of Lyon alternative electronic scene around 2013-2016, of which the project-members were three of the many faces. 
Through their different collectives and labels (CLFT Militia, SILO, Palma…) amongst others, all the instigators of this creative craze considerably contributed to the constitution of a new generation of Lyon-scene protagonists, AR/FM being one of them.

NOACH – 25th February 2021 – selected by Wouter

NOACH just continues to amaze me. The way he plays his Slowbeat Tribal and Trancey bangers, I can’t get enough of it. Perfect for the lockdown workplace at home while zoning into your project for two full hours. Or of course play this on a loud volume in your room and start vibing with your clothes off, it’s almost weekend after all…
