"It’s an unnerving world where familiar club sounds are smudged out of shape, each track a surrealist sculpture as much as a cyber-jungle rhythm." (https://soundcloud.com/thequietus) 

"Wax is precise in its sound design, fluid in structure and confidently able to add a fresh sound to UK Bass and dance music in general." (https://soundcloud.com/ma3azef) 

"Meticulously crafted while sustaining knife-edge atmospheric tension throughout, crystalline sound design succumbs to the overdriven maelstrom time and again." (https://soundcloud.com/if-only-uk) 

On Wax (GEN049), https://soundcloud.com/klahrk & https://soundcloud.com/kavarimusic pair up to present a basket of hammering, blasting club tracks with a focus on radical digital sound manipulations. The duo presents a sound design show-off consisting of raspy stretch algorithm artifacts, vocoded pulses and slimy granular flurries. Rhythmically, high impact overdriven kicks and syncopated motifs give the tracks a high energy urgency and momentum. Simmering, crusty chopped up break beats accompany stroboscopic pads, glistening metallic percussion and sweeping electro-acoustic gestures. Maneuvering naturally between almost snapping, bursting, fragmenting passages, effervescent glistening chords sometimes emerge, ready to get whacked by mangled, contorted drum machine outbursts.

‘Inflatable Gravestone’ is the debut album by Mun Sing (aka Harry Wright) released on https://soundcloud.com/planetmurecords on 2nd June 2023

https://munsing.bandcamp.com/album/inflatable-gravestone

The motivating force of the album is the sudden loss of Harry’s father in 2020. Their father struggled with substance addiction and the album explores ideas of 'spirituality' and the ‘higher self’ in relation to addiction and its parallels with the coping mechanisms of grief. It also aims to highlight the importance of humour and distraction when coping with loss.

Serving as a narrative for their own experiences, the album is largely built around club-centred tracks (such as ‘Spider’ and ’Squabble’) broken up by moments of yearning and reflection in tracks like ’The Poison Garden’ and ‘Helhest (Azrael Smirks)’ and moments of dark anguish like 'Inheritor' with its heavy slab-like chords and pensive piano. Flirting with awkward and suggestive rhythms, Wright deliberately suspends moments of resolution and groove in favour of drama and jerky, unexpected cartoonish humour, taking as much influence from the likes of the Art Of Noise as Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. 

Wright rewards the listener with moments of clarity and introspection like flags on the journey, recruiting vocalist MX World to deliver lyrics and melodic ideas created by them and their father. Their father’s journals in rehab helped inform most of the lyrics. Some take whole sentences as a way to physically ‘give life’ to his words for the first time. The lyrics describe feelings, revelations and  apocalyptic hallucinations. MX World's clear, direct tone suggests folk music and the timelessness of the human condition.

The album concludes with the title track ‘Inflatable Gravestone’ which features a chorus of giddy manipulated laughter from Wright’s friends and family to a truly maddening effect. This is then resolved by bright and clear piano chords and the sound of Wright’s father breathing in his sleep. A deeply affecting and personal record with corkscrew twists and turns and a healthy dose of absurdism.

APEAK 'Serenity Before The World'

After a hiatus from his solo project Paavo Piekkari returns to Changeless as APEAK with his latest club forward offering ’Serenity Before The World’.

The four track EP explores what it’s like to exist in the world filled with distractions, love, hate, guestlists at various clubs and magick. Metros run at tight intervals in every part of the world, and people desire closeness after every afterparty. Perception of one’s reality can be altered with rituals or small bags of powders. If our goal is wakefulness, do we still fear the dreamless sleep after?

’Serenity Before The World’ opens with ‘Terminus’, a hard-hitting, noisy and colossal intro in the realm of the EP. ‘Terminus’ if followed by a collaboration with the legendary Northern Electronics and Posh Isolation affiliate Varg²™; their track ’Humid Air (上環)’ was born after two days of frenzy in Hong Kong together. The city seemed to breathe in and spit out everything that it inhaled, from the Rolex storefronts to the bright lights of the skyscrapers. While the first tracks of the EP showcase a more familiar sound from APEAK, the ecstatic ‘Dreamless Sleep’ unveils an entirely new, more euphoric side to his sonic palette. The EP’s closing track ’Stillness (TOMEANGLS)’ is an optimistic lullaby, that features guitars from fellow Hollowland band member Jonathan Engeldahl.

Recorded in Helsinki, Hong Kong & Leuven in 2022-2024

Produced by Paavo Piekkari
Production (Track 2) by Jonas Rönnberg
Guitars (Track 4) by Jonathan Engeldahl

Serenity Before The World

APEAK - Humid Air (上環) (ft. Varg²™)

‘Revenge Tactics’ could easily be taken straight off Grand Theft Auto. With rock ‘n’ roll style metallic drums smoothed over by plenty of hollow reverb, its lack of direction recalls days spent aimlessly roaming up and down the coast in a convertible sports classic.

Taken from @infamousboogieman's 'Boogieman EP', out 17th March on @asl-singles-club. Pre-oder: http://aslsinglesclub.bandcamp.com/album/boogieman-ep

Premiere: Infamous Boogieman - Revenge Tactics

ASL009 
Straight out of his Troutman Street studio, Infamous Boogieman delivers four stiflingly raw grooves. Slopped up funk to blunted techno, the EP divides mentalities of repetition and difference across 4 works. Ripping guitar solos, sultry synths, and a shabby drum machine compose the inner workings of the Boogieman.

Clash of Steel (Xcaliber Version)

ASL011 ~ Physical July 15th / Digi July 22nd
Interior Groove traveler, and recent resident of Canada’s “Left Coast”, Unknown Mobile has honoured us the privilege to issue his first 12-inch record. The three cuts hike through rolling levels of melodic foley and pensive oral snippets, laid over tough low-end and resonant harmonies. Percussion is sparse yet carefully woven around patterns that wash in & out. While “No Motion” and “Rhododendron” induce a state of calming limbo, “Mantra” offers a celebration of dance.
