hydra:bad is a dastardly crustacean which can often be found in languid tides and coastal lagoons patiently laying traps for unsuspecting prey. Close cousins of the Mantis Shrimp, hydra:bad belongs in the order of Stomatopoda branching from other members of the class Malacostraca around 340 million years ago. Notorious for its self-destructive tendencies, it emits ultrasonic frequencies that deliver fatal blows at close proximities but due to an evolutionary maladaptation, the high pitches contribute to its cognitive decay and gradual onset of delirium.

Released in 2022, the debut album "Cycles" by Turkish producer DJ Strawberry brought a surprising mix of genres. The tracks, which were kept at 160 bpm, combined the Chicago footwork tradition with its hybrid formula inspired by Japanese minimalism and spacey dub techno in a highly inventive way.

Two years after the release of his debut album, DJ Strawberry, returns with a follow-up to "Cycles" entitled "Beyond". The process of making the album was accompanied by many difficult moments. In February 2023, his country was hit by the largest earthquake in its history that significantly affected his family and loved ones. What brought the producer respite from these hard times was to dive into making music. "Beyond" is therefore a story about suffering, anxiety, but also about the process of coming out of these difficult emotions towards something constructive that brought joy and relief.

The album begins with crystal and delicate sounds in "following you". We see some idyllic and jittery imagery, which lightly jumps to the rhythm of complex rhythms. The character and atmosphere of the album transform with the second track. In "soyut", a noticeable tectonic shock is triggered by nervous percussion loops and the deep intensity of the infra-pulse. This physical aspect of experiencing sound and the vibrations it generates constitute the primary foundation that binds the music of "Beyond". The low-pitched, rough bass that appears in "soyut" also resounds in the next anxious track "çıkmaz", its dirty, earthy sound referencing footwork productions dedicated to competing dancers. The change in atmosphere doesn't come until "euphoria." After the first half, echoing the emotions of earlier tracks, the second half of the piece, DJ Strawberry, transports the listener into a space of liberating relief and affirmation. Ending the album, "feedback loopjuke" is a minimalist coda with swirling looped drums and juke claps fired off in the final part of the track.

The therapeutic aspect of the music contained on "Beyond" places DJ Strawberry's actions in close proximity to the similar sonic practice of another representative of the outlines, Jana Rush. Her album "Painful Enlightenment", released on Planet Mu, also used footwork to deal with difficult emotions. Once again, then, a musical genre whose prior function was mainly to "serve" competing dancers has transcended this traditional format to become a vehicle for DJ Strawberry's personal narrative.

Listen to "Choral Chaos Re-Drum" by RougeHotel taken from "Yedora's Music Catalog" out on 31st May via Transatlantic

Pre-order: https://rougehotel.bandcamp.com/album/yedoras-music-catalog-2

On ‘Yedora’s Music Catalog’, RougeHotel renders a world of uncanny beauty, where crackles of the divine commune with earthly grit. A world within, where blown out melodies echo through foggy moors and pads n synths are redlined to reveal the harshness at the core of the crystalline prettiness.

This album extends an antennae to the noise, with opener ‘Gruulsignet’ chasing signals in the roil and capturing divine voices in the static. The caustic swirl of ‘Yedora’ and ‘Foil’ are disrupted by glimmering, otherworldly transmissions, heartstopping melodic bursts breaking through like beams of concentrated light through a dark, gnarled wilderness. But it’s on ‘Rhystic Study’ and ‘Choral Chaos Re-Drum’ where the light is forged into form — d&b-inflected slappers that go off like they’re transcribed from ancient druidic runes. The road is long and perilous, so consider this album an amulet, a protective charm, a talisman. This is pathfinder music.

[Premiere] RougeHotel - Choral Chaos Re-Drum (Transatlantic)

Full album releasing on June 12th | Pre-order in BUY 

Lynn Nandar Htoo debuts as her DJ moniker LnHD, delivering her provocative Southeast Asian experimental club dance EP titled SLAVE INSTINCTS in collaboration with Myanmar visual artists Gabriel Htoo & Alco Htoo.

SLAVE INSTINCTS marks a bold departure from her previous album Jamadevi, delving into the pulsating world of Southeast Asian experimental club dance music, and mirroring her defiance and resilience as a political exile from her homeland. SLAVE INSTINCTS presents a searing critique of global hypocrisy, juxtaposing the empty gestures of online political activism with the harsh realities of oppression and lost freedom. 

Each track pulsates with the spirit of her DJ days in Yangon, capturing the euphoria of techno party culture and the defiant spirit where party becomes refuge from political strife. SLAVE INSTINCTS becomes a powerful plea, a bold declaration, and an urgent ultimatum, compelling listeners to confront the global hypocrisies of performative digital activism and recognize the true impact of systemic oppression.
