Premiere: Sandy’s Trace ‘Beholden’

Anh Phi is a French-born multi-disciplinary artist of Vietnamese descent who co-founded the Gãy collective/label in Saigon and is a member of ÖÖÖ. His practices reflect on spirituality and cross-cultural paradigms. As a producer and DJ, embraces his Eastern and Western upbringings into his music, combining experimental sounds and hard dance with ritualistic and cinematic imagery. His work “Wisp” delves into the complexities of tensions, exoticism, and the ambiguous nature of mutated languages lost in translation.

Exhalation is the debut compilation of ÖÖÖ, which embodies the label's main theme of "Primitive Future". The concept captures the essence of a universal cycle that encompasses physical and spiritual elements for generating life, intelligence, and emotion. It speaks to the movement of life forms in all their subtlety or grandeur, from humans, creatures to planets, from unknown beings to unpredictable happenings. Exhalation is rooted in the origin of natural orders and chaos since time immemorial.

Participated artists are crossing different continents of the earth - SÁCCEA (@sacce4), Aestum (@aestum), e6c41 (@e6c41), Iva Peralta (@ivaperalta) Ylateau (@ylateau), Anh Phi (@anh_phi), Locre (@locr3), Ice_Eyes (@ice_eyes), Azelsgöattii (@goattii), Toby Davis (@toby_davis), Klusā Daba (@klusa_daba).

The artists developed their envision of the theme through different sonic landscapes - from futural energy paradise, turbulent apocalypse earth cracks, cult incantation from posthuman tribes, the nirvana of subconscious struggles, to oracle lights and dreamlike chants that heal wounds... Any possibilities are expected as artists will tell a consistent story of Exhalation together with their unique perspectives.

« Morphers » is a rattling 3 tunes split that was forged between French producer Flore and San Francisco’s Only Now. The release represents the unwritten language shared between both friends over the past 7 years, with their affinity for propulsive percussion workouts and livewire bass music. After releasing on the POLAAR label for years, Only Now and Flore finally met in person for a collab long awaited.

“I was born with empty hands and I will leave with empty hands", mom said.


Titled Buông, the debut EP draws from a word dear to Anh Phi mother's heart, meaning “to let go” in Vietnamese, echoing resilience, impermanence, and the intergenerational dichotomy of both forced and privileged migrations. It was composed in constant transition across borders, East and West, underlaid by paradigm shifts and diasporic discourses. Anh Phi’s Buông is a visceral exploration, inward and outward.

Multilayered modern metropolises, primal tribal feels, global borderless club mutations, Nam Cát Tiên biosphere, cinematic plots, twists &  cliffhangers… “OI” — timeline collapses, equanimity, transmutation, mess & order —,  “Ạ” — memories lost in translation, testimonies, mother tongue & alien tongue, morphed bikes, organic arpeggio birds  —,  “()” — breaths, autonomous sensory meridian response, childhood reminiscence, body movements, play —, “Ừ” — soil, light, wind, bells, rite, propelling to space…

It all converges at the intersection of uncertainty and clarity, where no answer is given yet sparse ingredients are digested. Systems and beliefs reset to the unknown. Mining an unreal epoch.
In between spaces yet to be discovered.
Swarm of flying beings diving into new lights.

Brilliant surprise remix by the wonderful artist @aya_yco ! A slow-burning roaring footwork drum and bass remix of my track Wait taken from my album Pitch Blender.
This one comes as a super yummy cherry on top of the already delightful Pitch Blender remix EP, with works by Scratcha DVA, Jana Rush, Kasimyn Gendang, Jessica Ekomane, Mc Yallah and me.
We've heard with immense joy these being played out there in clubs and on the airwaves. Thanks for the love!

Giving it extra back at you now! Go hear it now
