ESTATE is the debut AKHET Edizioni issue: an assemblage of unreleased works contributed by the many artists who participated in AKHET’s first year of site-specific programming in Naples historic centre.

The 26-track compilation features Aspec(t), Ausschuss, Cadaver Mike, Canedicoda, CECILIA, Ciro Vitiello, Compsa, D.Ham, Deskulling, Eks, Elisha Morningstar, Elvin Brandhi, Eraclio, Flora Yin-Wong, Forest Factory, Franco Franco, I Jahbar, Koenraad Ecker, las vegan, Le grand K, Lorenzo Abattoir, Luigi Monteanni, MIIIN---AMOR, Nocturnerror, NPLGNN, NZIRIA, Radford Electronics, Rabit, Renato Grieco, Sara Persico, STILL, Talpah, Tarawangsawelas, Tati au Miel, and Yokel, serving as a convergence of dissonant practices and collective gestures. Traversing the volatile terrains of noise, improvised sound, avant-garde folk, experimental rap, and post-club mutations, each piece embodies the tension between transient environments and enduring creative dialogues.

ESTATE, the Italian word for “summer”, concludes AKHET’s first cycle of programming. This cycle, reflecting on the impermanence of seasons, unfolded through three mini-festivals ("Autunno", "Inverno" and "Primavera") and a traveling review ("Caldo Astratto"). In a time when seasons melt into one another and winter feels disturbingly melded, ESTATE serves as a temporal marker, reimagined here amidst shifting climatic and cultural cycles.

Conceived as both artifact and reusable ephemeral, the release materializes as a limited edition of 101 tin cans designed by Canedicoda, each containing a USB microchip and other delicacies, while photographs by Salvatore Pastore document its materiality. The digital artwork by Augusto Fabio Cerqua extends this material dimension into a visual language that resonates with the conceptual and aesthetic framework of the release.
