'Heavenly Creatures' takes its title from the 1994 dark biographical drama and queer cult classic film of the same name, with a nod to Los Angeles party Heav3n and its championing of a post-PC Music sound—born online and spread across communication networks the world over. Featuring music by young producers from across the internet, the compilation’s heavily-filtered, DIY DAW tracks present an online-but-intimate hyper-emotionality by artists addressing life, love and loneliness from the perspective of a pop-appreciating electronic underground. Together with visual art works that express digital modes of intimacy, it’s a space of vulnerability and introspection built on a melancholic sub-frequency that’s carried forward by the hopeless romantics and baby angels that inhabit it.

The download-only album features artists found in AQNB’s orbit, whose contributions reflect a notion of sound and art in the aftermath. Together, this trans-dimensional auto reply under accelerated technocapitalism presents as a eulogy to the year that never was.

@philthhaus examines the nature of who dictates our taxonomy through categorization, packaging, and marketing of queer identity on debut album "REPSXL" out via AQNB in February. 

See here for more details: https://bit.ly/PROSXL

The “PROSXL” lead single, mastered by Shivani Desai, drops ahead of an accompanying performance and NFT auction at Berlin’s KW Institute for Contemporary Art in early March, and is named after the ace-spec identity of “proculsexuality“—an attraction to those which are inaccessible.

BLADEE, 'old swedish hardcore punk' mix

Introducing Ultra Instinct with their cover of Marcy Playground's "Opium." A collaboration between Steph Kretowicz and Ben Babbitt, the Los Angeles-based duo’s busted tragic loser pop draws on spoken word text, collaged field recordings, and live-mangled CDJ edits of original tracks to explore the time-tested ritual of combining words and song. 

https://ultrainstinct.bandcamp.com/album/opium

After publishing a number of recordings since 2020 including "BSAD (buy shit and die)” via CURL, “Brutal” for Perth Institute of Contemporary Art, and the autofictional radio play, “I hate here ft. felicita” (YLE Radio, Finland). Ultra Instinct is a new live iteration of that collaboration.

Upcoming European dates include:

Aug 29- Ultra Instinct at @Meakusma Festival, Eupen https://www.studioneau.be/emissions/meakusma-festival-2024/steph-kretowicz-ben-babbitt/
Sept 5- Ultra Instinct w/ @enhancementtt + @cccconrad at Forma HQ, London
