Area Z is proud to present our 11th tape, courtesy of Paris-based artist Théo Ferretti.

Coming from his gothic and post-punk roots, the project aims to fuse these influences with shades of electronic body music, martial techno and mystic industrial music, blending together darkness, poetry, existentialism and modern day brutalism.

Questioning the duality between the material and the immaterial, the past and the present, the sacred and the cursed, M I M’s sound is severe and transcendent while remaining danceable and cathartic.

Staring at the Void -his third EP- is the logical following to all of these topics, a dive into the abyss of the human subconscious through haunting basslines, rains of metal hits, screams of despair and liturgical chants.

Joining forces to Théo’s release, we have the pleasure to present three remixes of the EP, courtesy of England’s Randolph & Mortimer, our Toulouse's Arabian Panther and from UVB’s side-project Elements of Joy, which presents his first remix under this alias.

PREMIERE : MIND I MATTER - Meaningless Sentence (Arabian Panther Remix)

As often extensively touring as he is on the quest for new sounds (‘the iron fence in front of the studio’, ‘the wooden door in the toilet’ among other samples), or building instruments from scratch with his pals (see Modular Organ System), Phillip Sollmann’s experimental zeal underscores a conceptual framework that reveals a collage of influences as broad as Basic Channel, Francis Bacon, Japan or the room he’s sitting in. This often amounts to smooth and genre-busting segues on Dial, Curle and Ostgut Ton. For Bassiani Podcast 120, the German neutoner challenges and surprises with an hour of osmotic and textural 4/4 techno, twilight arps and fidgety basslines. Efdemin at his very best.

For our second guest mix, we chose someone who defies the boundaries of music, Acid Pauli.

When we spoke to Acid Pauli, he let us use an older mix that meant a lot to him, Peace. With our collective growing up by the sea in Brighton the mix speaks to the atmosphere around the town, and the ability to take people on a journey through varying emotions with similar but diverse tracks is exactly what we aspire to create with After Hours.

Acid Pauli's music defies boundaries, inspiring us to break free from the constraints of a single genre. His genre-blending style effortlessly merges diverse influences, from house and techno to folk and jazz. With a masterful command of both electronic and organic elements, Acid Pauli creates captivating soundscapes that transcend traditional norms.

Peace
