Racine - Amitiés

There’s a lived-in quality to the sound of Racine’s Amitiés. Named after the French word for friendship, the Montréal-based Quebecois artist follows an extended time spent indoors to contemplate what it means to be isolated and in one’s own body, while also staying connected. The album is a follow-up of sorts to Quelque chose tombe (“Something Falls”), released in February 2020 and a kind of accidental prophecy for the crisis that was to come.
Amitiés disintegrates before your very eyes. Opening with a roughshod iPhone recording of Racine playing his parent’s harmonium, the creaky acoustics of "Mon amour je ne guéris jamais" slowly degrade into digital simulations of dreadful organic beauty. That track and the rest of the LP gives the feeling of an abandoned building; a sense of frayed, earthiness dusted with the wisdom of time. And yet, it’s almost entirely made from simulations. Clipped Native Instruments violin patches punctuate the churning atmospherics of “Arête coincée dans une amygdale”. The lonely gongs and bells of “Grosso” resonate in a gust of synthesised ambient. Vocal plugins and the very occasional YouTube samples of a recorded voice are sped-up, glitched, pitched and scrambled into indecipherability. These vocal apparitions rise and fall into the sonic ether like individual ghosts of human contact. They’re bold and expressive, deeply melancholy and yet full of the potential for joy and an awareness of life’s beauty.

It’s in this dearth of social interaction—the heady psychosis of too much solitude—that Amitiés’s tone and mood lies. A score for the numb dissociation from internal chaos and alienation, the album’s sense of acute distress is assuaged only by the small network of collaborators and influences it draws from. Long-time friend and peer Justin Leduc-Frenette (aka Keru Not Ever) contributes drum programming to “Mon amour je ne guéris jamais”. A last-minute reworking of the untitled “Sans titre” by German duo Arigto matches the weight and timbre of Racine’s sooty post-classical soundscapes.

Ultimately, Amitiés is a very human response to an inhuman environment. It’s an intimate homage to friends and the mysterious effects of distance, while somehow finding healing in hardship.

JET003 - A2iCE & Bo3

The JUDDER label is back with the next part of its VA compilation. This time, we have something special — ten DJ-friendly tracks and tools, half of which were created exclusively using live gear. As usual, the concept of the series remains intact, bringing together seasoned true-to-the-craft professionals and rising newcomers.

Kercha leads the compilation with an experimental, grime-influenced tool simply titled "33". On the more breakbeat-leaning side, we have Unbroken Dub with his slow-paced, reflective story-teller "Other Desert Cities"; Cultrow, who is quite literally "Killin'" it with a stripped-back weapon that evolves into a half-time dubstep rattler before returning to its original pace; and JUDDER resident Oddkut, showcasing his interpretation of what can be called a tribal sound in "Tribal Trax", filled with subtle but ear-catching elements while maintaining a minimalist approach. Rotterdam’s very own Samwho isn’t far from the breakbeat and tribal vibe either, delivering an interesting hybrid with "Ura-Hara", featuring rhythms and shuffles inspired by earlier proto-dubstep productions. On the more experimental side, Anymodal takes things up a notch to virtually confuse the listener, bringing the concept of "slowfast" to a new level with his percussive-infused halfstep mind-blower "Tronic". Meanwhile, for those who like it simple, Raciya Bağdad demonstrates his gear-handling skills with a pretty straight-forward techno-tool "Vietnam Flashback", and Jovani Boa offers a clever yet discreet blend of acid and electro with "Flex Town". There’s even a hypnotic, easy-listening dub-techno fusion, courtesy of Dawn Razor and his track "Push 'n' Pull". Lastly, this time up-and-coming producer Anned is honored to round off the compilation with her gritty track "Annoying Hornet", reminding everyone what JUDDER and its sonic vision are all about.

The second instalment of the JUDDER compilation has not only gathered artists with diverse backgrounds, production styles, and approaches but also a wide range of genres and styles, carefully curated and blended to create a long-playing journey for listeners to explore.
