Lezure: Ambient Babestation Meltdown (2/4/21)

Ambient Babestation Meltdown, otherwise known as Rachael Williams, is a true character. Her sets gravitate towards records old and new that pulse with energy, irony and intelligence, a sort of thinking-person’s party DJ, yet far less annoying than that might sound. As one half of DiASKi, alongside Joe Brooke-Smith, she produces sci-fi tinted trippers that will soon emerge on a debut record from DBA, and recently provided some different dystopian flavours to the newly maskless masses at Gala Festival.

After delivering the mix, Ambient Babestation Meltdown briefly spoke to John Loveless about her musical heritage and selection. Read the accompanying interview here: https://shop.phantasysound.co.uk/blogs/news/phantasymix-39-ambient-babestation-meltdown

Premiere: Ambient Babestation Meltdown + JBS ‘Dead Or Alive’

https://optimomusic.bandcamp.com/album/who-goes-there-ep

“Who Goes There”, the debut collaborative release from Ambient Babestation Meltdown and JBS arrives on Optimo Music bathed in reverence to science-fiction and the infinite, charged possibilities of interplay between raw electronics and the human voice. Both well-respected figures on the London underground scene, each of the four tracks across the EP are inspired by film and literature, expanding well-worn VHS classics into sonic mini-sequels.

The voice of Ambient Babestation Meltdown will be familiar to anyone who has spent time lurking in the further reaches of Sky television’s hundreds of channels, a recognisable register in the Adult Entertainment industry, work that has naturally informed her work and artist persona. On ‘Litany Against Fear’, that same voice has a less seductive timbre, reminding us cooly that “We must not fear… Fear is the mind killer”, a monologue that’s quickly engulfed in an electrically charged sandstorm.

A greater sense of urgency drives the new-beat stomp of ‘Dead Or Alive’, an icy-cold jam that jacks and glitches our otherwise reliable narrator, who keenly reminds us that somewhere there is a crime happening. Keep your head down while dancing, and remember, bad language makes for bad feelings… The tempo slows to cybernetic sludge on ‘The Other Place’, a piercing and heavy anti-anthem that returns from the deep cosmos, liable to slowly stretch a rift in the space-time/dancefloor continuum. 

The mood grows more conspiratorial still but no less compelling, decamping into sonic isolation as our narrator investigates a disturbance on title track ‘Who Goes There’, accompanied by a rugged and powerful rhythm that might have come from the mind of John Carpenter. “Somebody in this room is not what they say they are…” The end of the record? You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me.

Out on Optimo Music as a digital and tape release (tape features additional ABM mix)on July 1st 2022.

Don't Be Afraid with Tyler Dancer & Ambient Babestation Meltdown - 12 September 2022

Passarella Death Squad - Solaris (Ambient Babe Meltdown Remix)
Available to buy here -
https://passarellarecords.bandcamp.com/album/solaris

Following the release of ‘What We Are, You Shall Be’ Passarella Death Squad return with the second of three singles taken from their forthcoming album. ‘Solaris’ also features remixes by Zongamin and Ambient Babestation Meltdown.

The original version of ‘Solaris’ brings a futuristic slant to its retro synth sound, with Emilie Albisser’s vocals ringing out over the deep drum beat, creating an atmospheric indie-dance epic.

The mighty Zongamin (Susumu Mukai) brings his many discernible talents which have graced the likes of XL Recordings, Flesh Records and Ed Banger, to deliver a leftfield remix with his own brand of twisted disco elements. Meanwhile, fresh talent Ambient Babestation Meltdown (Rachael Williams) who’s just released her debut on Optimo Music sets down her unique sound, peppering the remix with her own vocal overlays and sampling.
