2k19 sounds that linger in my mind

Aircode

Tracks

For our seventeenth addition We are graced with the presence of London's own aircode, whose electronic obscurities have been found on such labels as DJ Pitch's 'Tobago Tracks' along with a recent EP on 'Alien Jams'. Julia's productions are truly worthy of being heralded by a label with the word 'alien' in the title - her work is enigmatic and astoundingly unique. It beckons notions of a faraway entity who occupied her mind and attempted to craft their world's music through her eyes using earthly soundscapes.

It is pensive and moving throughout, where aircode has used the absence of space and an unlikely palette of reverb-drenched, distant sounds to accentuate a sense of alienation. Nods to dubstep and UK-influenced genres leak through at times to reinforce the still-present movability and flow that Julia effortlessly melds into the sound design she has mastered. The tracks loop in and out of themselves, where she has broken down each track skillfully into a concise selection of resonances that undergo a perpetual sense of motion that subvert the tropes of contemporary club music. There is an uneasy air of endlessness and repetition throughout; a spiral further and further into an unknown unknown.

Premiere: Aircode ‘When It’s Said It Is’

Following guest mixes on NTS and performances in the Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall, TT are proud to present the debut EP from London-based artist aircode, Dislocated.

Characterised by a commanding use of texture, aircode’s production punctuates the spaces it inhabits with enigmatic precision. I Know My Life searches fitfully for the obscured; pairing sweeping synth motifs with distorted speech to create a sense of quiet knowing. Placing the listener in the midst of surrounding, bass-heavy intensity, Reform freezes and warps those surroundings until breathy gasps return the focus back to the body. Club-driven experiments such as Lipsill’s unnerving echoes and the suspended scratches of When It’s Said It Is combine a commitment to meticulous sound design with a recognition of the pleasure of masterfully navigating a chaotic club space.

Imbued throughout with a tangible sense of disruption and confusion, Dislocated presents a idiosyncratic club manifesto from one of London’s most exciting emerging producers.

TR038 - aircode - 'tunnel vision' [sample]

London-based Swedish producer aircode’s debut EP on Alien Jams is ‘basically a very tired EP’.

Written throughout a year of sleep deprivation, “Effortless” reflects a period of disorientation, social claustrophobia, and the unbridled feeling of a loss of focus. A navel-gazing introspective struggle of feeling apathetic and drowsy, yet simultaneously restless and constantly moving. Fractured machine fragments and riddled sleep-deprived speech alongside manipulated drum samples, distorted guitar, are symptomatic of her captivating work in electronic experimental music so far. Using self-generated ‘logical’ melodies, unexpected rhythms, and phone and vocal recordings, the EP offers a challenging, melancholic and ever-changing aesthetic.

Piecing together spontaneous text, and moments of glitch, like an anxious machine, or someone on auto-pilot; “the tracks represent this mixture of apathy and a scattered mind,” she explains, "On the verge of hyperventilation with constantly changing rhythms as you feel your heartbeat and breath loud and out of sync. The melodies are also somewhat dipping in energy," never reaching the whole way up, but giving up and falling down.

Dry my face up
It’s easy, why
Heavy air
Pacing around the third floor
Your voices intrude
On my skin
Must be fed
Accelerating ahead
It’s easy at a high pace

I don’t believe in effort
The third time
Don’t shake
If it’s not enough
