Grid turns one ! To celebrate our first anniversary, we are happy to release our second compilation with twelve amazing artists from around the world (USA, Japan, Ireland, Mexico, Austria, Slovenia, Switzerland and England, of course).

Still focused on eclectism, each track is part of a colorful selection ready for a party summer. From experimental opening by K Wata, through bass bangers from Sputnik One, Mafou and Yilan, deep objects by Kincaid, Mistareez and Tristan Arp, engineering techno from Erik Luebs, Christian Kroupa and Fingers of God, to crazy shifted tracks by Nico and Henzo.

As its musical title evocates, after a heavy loaded first year, we are starting a new loop coming back with a compilation, to go further next.

Tracklist:
1. K Wata - In A Mug On A Rug
2. Sputnik One - Connected by a Wall
3. Erik Luebs - Feels Like Jelly
4. Nico - Silent Treatment
5. Henzo - Be That As It May (Unhinged Mix)

This week we're all about "low-end hitters and dancehall business", as the Warsaw-based DJ and vocalist hermeneia is at the helm of our Rhythmic Culture podcast. Not only is she running the FURDA event series – she's also associated with Unsound Festival and holds down a regular show on LYL and Noods Radio. In the 46-minute journey she delivers, hermeneia takes you into the head-wobbly realms of soundsystem music – this one will be on repeat for a while.

Galtier’s is an artist from who hones in on amalgamation as the focal point of his output; his works occupy an expansive somatic energy that has evolved significantly over his decade-long presence in the global electronic scene.
Sporadic unexpectedness in rhythmic pace and structure coupled with a coagulated sense of mood is the formula for Galtier’s production ons and DJ sets; a willingness to explore change and progression in sound while maintaining a sense of driven cohesion has been a driving force throughout his foray into sound design.
Galtier has offered up mixes on reputable platforms that include Fact Mag, XLR8R, Inverted Audio, Rinse France and has contributed endlessly to the enormity of independent music publications ons that are making humble moves. Throughout, minimal restrictions on BPM and a desire to keep things ever-changing result in massive shibs in tempo throughout even a brief Galtier set. His cohesive understanding of music accompanied by his passion for creating his own unique and stylistic approach has won him admiration and respect on an international onal scale.
He has worked with such labels as Infinite Machine, NAAFI, [re]sources, TRRUENO, 10 Label and in 2015, Galtier introduced his own label Nostro Hood System to the world; nestled in the thematic concept as a label focused on the xenological discovery of an alternate galaxy to our own that sets out to showcase the musical artefacts that originate from it. The output has hosted releases from such production on greats as Amor Satyr & Siu Mata, Atrice, Amazondotcom, Siete Catorce, Aircode, Avernian and Galtier himself.

We are proud to present Galtier’s podcast recorded specially for VAL. Link in the profile header. Enjoy!

Artist: @simon-off

Label: guides
Release date: 17.11.2023
Format: digital / cassette (edition of 50)

Simon Hafner aka Sun People is well known to fans of fast tempos, having released music on labels such as @exitrecords @rua_sound and @through_these_eyes. Hafner presents a wide range of music and guest mixes on his monthly Sub FM radio show and is also releasing music and doing A&R for the label @defrostatica.

His latest cassette on the Guides label, titled Joyful Discontent, is a tribute to minimalism, referencing the works of Frank Bretschneider and Mark Fell. The starting point for this release was a JMT VDR-1 drum synthesizer, characterised by its intuitive aspects, its limited sonic capacities and the challenge to stretch the machine's possibilities. This one instrument informs the structure of the album, fixed in tempo, track and total length. Reducing his tools to a bare minimum, Hafner explicitly refers to specific genre traditions inherent in this radical form. Structurally and sonically, the spirit of clicks & cuts (e.g., Komet’s ‘Rausch’) can be heard, as well as influences from dub, ambient and minimalist drum&bass and footwork.

In his thinking, however, Hafner goes further. The idea of interlocking all the pieces, complementing the overall grid of constraints, provides the frame for a playful exploration. The result was also fuelled by intuitiveaction, such as when a single gesture and decision changes the direction of a process that takes place in real time. When composing, despite the track’s live act structure, he produced recordings that could function as parts of a jigsaw puzzle that can berearranged freely in any order, thus opening the way for a reinterpretation of the whole. This is also why the album will be available in two versions, both as a mix of combined tracks, and as eight individual pieces that make up the whole.

Despite so many formal constraints, Joyful Discontent still sounds accessible. The pieces produced by Hafner move in the direction of Mark Fell’s compositional approaches, where music is devoid of evoking emotion, rather, aiming for a neutral and non-imposing environment for the listener. 

(with the kind support of the city of Graz)

This release is also available on the artist's bandcamp page. If you want to support him directly, I encourage you to do so.

As a pair of foreigners (from the UK and Bosnia) living in Praha, Czechia, we as curators of YUKU wanted to give something back to the creative residents of this country by creating a series on our label to platform local artists. "místní fauna" means "local wildlife" in Czech, and these 10 tracks capture the aesthetics of 10 different artists — either Czech natives or creators residing in the country.

We plan to do this as an ongoing series to highlight artists from what's an often-neglected region by the press and media in general, so this is hopefully just the beginning <3

Enjoy!

Getaway [Yuku 'm​í​stní fauna' VA]

After diversifying with the release of a couple of tapes over the last few years, BFDM’s little sis — Homemade Soundsystem — returns to what it knows what to do best: a two-track bass-heavy dancehall 7 inch. This one is courtesy of Parisian producer Krikor, who was already behind the outfit’s first release back in 2019. The well named Captivation Riddim starts off as a slow-but-rough compelling tune with haunting and trippy vocal samples creating an adequately driving mood. On the flip, Liberation Riddim is a percussive chopped-up party starter, ideal for changing gears with multiple BPM shifts and breaks throughout the track.

Wetware Echo presents Residual Image, a compilation aimed to collect different perspectives on a common theme: the hijacking, disassembly and recombination of sonic DNA. From woofer-shredding distorted soundscapes to hi-pressure rhythmic solutions, this collection of tracks represents the residual image of a common vision shared among thirteen different artists, each bringing their signature sound in a narrative continuum exploring different evolutionary branches. Spanning across a broad spectrum of genres and moods, what emerges is a future-proof pool of sound data, ready and open to be re-encoded differently at each listen.
