Description: Recorded at Outra Cena, Lisbon - PT (08.03.2024)

The moon waxes into fiery Leo tonight and we're digging into the archives of our musical adventures to bring you this opening B2B from our last SWOON party back in April '23. We brought SWOON into the world almost 4 years ago, with a desire to celebrate community, to wonder at the cycles of the moon, and to engage playfully with the spirituality we felt in connecting through music (this gorgeous intangible force). Tomorrow evening we're doing something a little different at Oh, Panama on Potsdamer Str. Swing by for snacks, tracks, and swooning in good company. Big hugs ~ Evalyn & Sióg xxx

Albin at Outra Cena, That Side (8th Mar 2024)

Our next mixtape comes courtesy of Puglia born London based Niche founder, 	𝐈𝐤ä𝐯ä 𝐏𝐢𝐢.

A high energy hour of weird swampy sounds, eery melodies & intricate detail, put together with so much love and care it feels like one full track. 

Sometimes you listen to a mix & it feels like a true expression of someones personality, and that’s how we feel with this one. Thank you so much Giacomo <3

Weirdness and detail. This is all I want as a listener and a dancer, and what I want to convey as Ikävä Pii. In this mix I’ve explored slowfast ambiguity, music for ponds and futuristic punk, pairing Italian Sunitty with warped UK techno, with a couple of WTF turns.

For the most part, it is extremely detailed music. It’s abstract and rich. I don’t like the definition of “sound design” anymore: it sounds “functional”, as if the goal was creating a product. These producers are (like me), instead, trying to spawn detailed worlds.

I’ve started making music with a punk band in Puglia. I picked up a guitar because my father and all his brothers played. Family gatherings were beautifully loud. Puglia was still a poor and tough place when I was a kid, so my love for international music was a form of escapism. I was (like many others) online a lot and in touch with musicians from all over the world. I started dreaming of London listening to The Clash at maybe 12yo? London has truly shaped me, I was radicalised here. Politically and artistically. And here’s where I embraced my queerness.

I think, in many instances, it was here that I was exposed to some really fringe stuff, and that’s how I realised I loved everything that was genuinely weird or boundaries-pushing. Furthermore, I believe that Hackney Wick makes my life as an artist easier. Cheap rent, community and proximity: it’s a 5 mins walk from the warehouse to the studio and the venue, and sometimes special things only happen thanks to the support of other locals. You know who you are! <3

Niche started in April 2023 as a monthly sonic hangout; noisy jams, open decks, and improvised sets. Now it’s a full-scale event, with performances by some of the best artists we know. It started out of necessity: an accessible space to experiment with fellow noisemakers. 
My relationship with the venue was crucial; I’ve been a resident at The Bath House for 2 years now, and Niche can only happen because my studio is there.

It is a lovely ecosystem of musicians, DJs, listeners and dwellers. We are trying to bridge the gap between the bedroom and the venue, offering a space for people to try new things out and take risks, playing for the most understanding audience. In terms of curation, I am looking for the most daring acts out there - no genre limitations, but definitely priority to live shows, and musicians in particular. 
Alongside artists I know and/or follow, we met incredibly talented people through the open calls, or other nice folks who just jumped on the groupchat and asked to play! Keeping it as open and diverse as possible is at the core of our practice. We only have one resident at the moment - the amazing Queenie.

Natural Energie w/ servicekit (12/04/24)

Ran weaves so many melodies, textures, and soft drums in this inimitably beautiful, smart, and jazzy mixtape that brings me to a contemplative state, one where I am holding the energy of those diasporic Coreans in my community, and around the world, who I am connected to through the gift of this mixtape series, and beyond, through our shared ancestral histories of being Corean at all. Within that energy glows the rhythmic echo of oneness with all colonized people today and from all time.

With this edition of the saekdong cover typical of Diasporic Corean Mixtapes, I wanted to bring in the colorway of the Palestinian flag, as well as the net texture present in the keffiyeh, intermingling with the motif of the Korean Unification flag. 

To me, this symbolizes the many parallels between Palestine and Korea, particularly the postwar north of Korea today known as the DPRK. It was the same year of 1948 in which Korea was split into two by the US Military, that on the other side of the globe, Palestine was being pillaged and carved up as well. As in Korea, where today families including those of my paternal grandfather remain separated by an arbitrary militarized border, so too do Palestinians remain exiles from their own villages, farms, cities, ancestral homelands. 

Throughout the 1960s, the leadership of north Korea maintained correspondence with the Palestinian resistance, and even shared military strategies and traded arms. And today, north Korea continues to be maligned, its government borne of anti-colonial resistance labeled as "rogue" by the imperial powers, as much as Palestinian resistance movements are labeled terrorists. All the while, north Korea has suffered from inhumane US embargoes that block essential medicine and agricultural resources that have killed thousands of people, contemporaneously with Israeli embargoes on Gaza that deprive children of basic human necessities like water and flour.

So despite the controversial nature of the Korean Unification flag, which is representative of a persecuted political ideology in south Korea, where pro-reunification activists are frequently harassed and incarcerated under the anti-communist National Security Law, it grounds me. The blue One Korea nestled inside the keffiyeh reminds me of not my roots as a Corean person on that tiny peninsula we call our ancestral home, whether we are from the north, the south, or in the diaspora, but also of our solidarity and connectedness to all colonized people who struggle and resist everywhere.

As we yearn to see a Corea that is one, so we envision a free Palestine from the river to the sea.

Ran Park is a home-taught pianist, self-taught composer, and an ever-evolving experimentalist. Joyful contradictions run throughout her music, from romantic and impressionist classical to free jazz, gospel, Korean folk, and notions of pop. 

With all this unhinged curiosity as her energy source, Ran’s mission is to say ‘yes’ to the child in us; yes to embodying fuller expressions of the many identities we carry. Doing so, she argues, is a necessary step towards generational and collective healing.

"With this mix I tried to consider and channel the feelings of a lonely, dying planet, reaching out into the universe to make contact. This transmission is an expression of yearning, pain, and ultimately, in it's own way - love."
