Women’s voices deserve to be heard,
Mutual support amongst women is crucial,
Emotional labour from women is valuable.

Outside of the steady flow of daily tasks and the maintenance of everyday order, music provides us an opportunity to once again fall into a state of deep contemplation, breaking through the passive mundanity of quotidian life. After a four-month hiatus, Scandal has gathered together eight local female producers to launch its debut compilation “Scandal: Alexithymia 述情障碍” in January of 2022. This release will also officially mark the establishment of the Scandal label. We will also continue to achieve our goal: to help more women express their creative desires and pursue their creative passions, and increase the representation of female musicians.

The term Alexithymia is a classical compound combining the ancient Greek words “a-” “léxis” “thymós”, respectively translated as "no" "speech" "emotion". Taken literally, the term means “silent and ruthless”. In the field of psychiatry, alexithymia is a personality trait characterized by the inability to perceive and express emotions in daily life.

“Scandal: Alexithymia 述情障碍” intends to reflect on the current atmosphere of atomization and fragmentation in our society, inviting eight local female producers to demonstrate how they express this emotional blockage through their music. At present, alexithymia is ubiquitous, exacerbated by coronavirus social distancing, an increasingly polarized political landscape when it comes to social and identity-based issues, or other reasons we’re unable to discuss. In a world where we can’t speak to our emotions, we need the interpretive power of music more than ever.

Hayfever Dreams of U EP - 4 hard hitting cuts for the doof gremlins out there.

Shere Khan is a Melbourne-based producer and DJ with a musical style that is explorative, diverse, and unapologetically attention grabbing, spanning a broad gamut of sound palettes. His selection behind the decks delivers a relentless stream of sonic gut-kicks, bone-rattling subs, and resonating frequencies that make your nose tingle. 

Having previously performed and released music under the moniker, Guides, as well as forming one half of the duo, Lunakyn, Shere Khan harbours a sound that constantly pushes the envelope. His live sets combine the raw grit of his home-built modular synthesiser with euphoric pads, aerobic rhythms, and gooey acid lines. 

As co-founder of Extract the Motion, Guidone skilfully curated the dancefloor for the nascent party brand and provided a platform for other underground DJs to wreak havoc on the decks. As co-founder of Dialectic Recordings, his vision nurtures growth and renewal in Sydney’s underground music scene.
