Eclectic Electronic Soundscapes -
It's 2019 and I'm taking stock this year - To make sure that I'm giving space for as many artists as possible and to try and discover new one's, Feminatronic will be focussing on Artists alphabetically throughout the year on all platforms. 
As with all the playlists, there are no prefences and concentrating on each letter of the alphabet means that these playlists are very eclectic and cover electronic music of many genres. 

As with all the playlists, they are jumping off points to discoveries and are not definitive lists. Just let some of the tracks play onto the next....follow up on "sounds like"....see who's following, many artists follow other artists...…

Here are the letters W and X...
Artists are Xelomen and This Liquid Sky, Grace Wakeman, wind8, Weelrun, Wild Anima, Christine Webster, Xyramat, Samantha Wolf, Flora Yin - Wong, Sissel Wincent, Patricia Wolf, Jana Winderen, Wilted Woman, Jane Weaver, Jennifer Walton, Xosar, Xenia Xamanek, Anna Xambo, Ai Watanabe, Hayley Wanless and Jennifer Walshe.

Age Coin “Maybe Fake Is What I Like” DD

Age Coin, the enigmatic Copenhagen duo reemerges with a brand new digital 2-Tracker; “Maybe Fake Is What I Like” -Two tracks of entirely modern dance music. Like a Love tunnel cutting through a mountainous post factual era. It is good that Age Coin is back. 
Siren Synth patterns dance through the title track riding on a bpm 150+ kick. With animated epicness. I feel happy - I feel “hard core” (!)
Garden Panel 1 - follows with a panoramic view - I am blessed, entering the century club! flickering in the summer sun, breaking rays of light into rhythmic patterns.

It’s really late but i dont want to go home xxx, I Say; “Maybe fake is what i Like"

Age Coin - Garden Panel 1

What I know about optical realism is its scientific interest in the actual experience and effect of movement on objects. This is also clear in Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune. If it comes with a naïve vision which is perfectly untainted by intellectual preconceptions (and happens in France) we call it Impressionism. But if making impressionistic scenes happen with sounds of  Nintendo DSi's Elektroplankton, (and not in Paris), what should we call that???

Connection II

Xenia Xamanek - "Envase"
Format: Souvenirs / Digital
Release date: November 9th 2018
Pre-order: https://anyines.bandcamp.com/album/envase

With this dual release of music and marble sculpture, ‘Envase’ unfolds the artistic collaboration between Danish/Honduran composer Xenia Xamanek and Danish visual artist Lea Guldditte Hestelund. Anyines hosts this collaboration, facilitating a wide palette of souvenirs, available in the form of keychains, t-shirts, cups, iPhone covers, posters and magnets for your fridge. 

For Xamanek and Hestelund, ‘Envase’ is an exploration of a common artistic interest in voice, mouth and body as autonomous entities:

“The music deals with voices detached from bodies and how these immaterial voices are somehow seeking other forms of existence. We see the sculpture as a body wherein the bodiless voices can take temporary habitat. The souvenirs are copies of this body, so you get the image of the original - an image that is replicated and replicable and thus accessible for all. The origin of the sculpture becomes unclear and the souvenirs become simulations of something that may or may not exist. They have a circular lineage, without a starting point, as a never-ending repetition.”  

‘Envase’ is the Spanish equivalent of the English word ‘container’, ‘carrier’, or ‘a thing that holds something else’ as described by author Ursula Le Guin when arguing how the container should be the real hero in the story of evolution. ‘Envase’ contains recordings of Xamanek’s deceased grandfather whose acapella love songs appear throughout the album. With this symbolic embrace between loved ones, artists and art forms, the title of the release also points towards more care-full times. 

Xamanek’s insistent and haunting vocal experiments inhabit the minerals of the marble sculpture, which is equally human and humus; embryo and larva. The form is familiar, smooth and it seems to come alive and linger with you along with the chanting voices. ‘Envase’ is a creature of both immaterial voice and solid body, always evolving into new forms and never stable.

Croatian Amor "Isa" LP 

In 2019 Croatian Amor returns with a new album, 'Isa'.

Copenhagen's Loke Rahbek works in a wide variety of forms. His prolific rate of activity is best viewed through his and Christian Stadgaard's Posh Isolation label. Of Rahbek's many projects, his most eloquent and gentle is Croatian Amor.

2017’s single 'Finding People' bloomed from Croatian Amor's previous album, the widely acclaimed 'Love Means Taking Action'. These melancholic transmissions presented a kind of alien pop. For 'Isa', he has drawn on an impressive list of guests to realise a nauseating narrative of virtual communication and eschatological programming. The album's title invokes a messianic entity, and though it's hard to tell what's imagined or remembered anymore, the play that Croatian Amor is known for feels far more vivid today.

"Enhance photo to reveal a picture of Bird caught mid-flight; enhance again, the bird has a human face screaming."

Never pessimistic, Croatian Amor circles themes of tragedy and comfort to animate a sense of hope. His accomplices pluck details from his graphic scenes like a searchlight drifting over a starlit surface. Alto Aria, Soho Rezanejad, and Jonnine Standish of HTRK, each contribute vocals across the album, cloaked and kerned on Croatian Amor's inimitable stage. Eden 1.1 and its accompaniment Eden 1.2 feature the voices of Frederikke Hoffmeier and Yves Tumor, respectively. These are some of album's most delicate pieces, and where one may find respite from the helix of damaged rhythms that eddy across 'Isa'. Familiar faces from Copenhagen are solicited throughout, and perhaps the album's most endearing quality is the space for volatility that all of the collaboration has invited.

All the signals and timelines lead everywhere and back. Maybe it's only the myths that get us?

The cover of Isa features work by artist Amitai Romm.

"Tracing reflections that float in the pool: the water is lost in all images. Two skies hold glass billboards.”

Croatian Amor - Towards Isa

Track from NE61 Ulwhednar – Razor Mesh Fencing
Out on 2xLP and Digital on March 29th.

The relentless stride of Northern Electronics can be put down to the attitudes of its owners, Anthony Linell and Jonas Rönnberg. Their collaborative project, Ulwhednar, has been shapeshifting at the centre of the label since its inception, and has captured their hard line electronics in its many guises.

Following on from 2017's 'Modern Silver', their new album reprises the intensity by grappling with its themes from a refreshed perspective. Crossing Norrland, the northernmost part of Sweden, and graffiti incidents and exploits, 'Razor Mesh Fencing' tracks the fervour of operations left undercover with blistering rhythmic pieces.

With only brief moments of respite on 'Razor Mesh Fencing' its stamina perpetually keeps us on the edge. Winding around its paths, our escape is in its adrenal crescendo.

Recorded by Anthony Linell and Jonas Rönnberg in Sofia, Sweden 2018
