Takeover Hyperlink avec Miss Jay - 13 Mars 2021

"Cold Crystal Timbres" recalls the immediate past. Hight-tech emotions and synthetic unnaturalness: When sonic hybridities were echoing early 2000s pop.

Once a haven for nerds and enthusiasts, the internet became accessible to many in the early 2010s. Utopias linked to the early internet, such as that of an anonymous and democratic cyberspace, are finally being displaced by a neoliberal Silicon Valley ideology that manifests itself in platforms like Facebook and Amazon.

Rebecca Fuxen and Martin Rovan’s mixtape "Cold Crystal Timbres" pays tribute to the music that emerged from this structural change and aesthetically relates to it. This hybrid music genre, which developed between 2010 and 2015, is characterized by both cold digital sounds and nostalgic pop references. It is embedded in collectives, loose associations, labels, events, or curatorial projects that network primarily through platforms such as SoundCloud and Myspace. Although this music takes place mostly in traditional club settings, it is transnational, digital networking practices that create political activism and solidarity: many collectives establish platforms for DJs, producers, and activists. They reclaim the white- and male-dominated club scene and emphasize the queer context of its genesis and the central role of BPoC within club music.

Listening to the digital, high-resolution sounds of the time one comes to grasp the intersections of digital everyday culture and music as well as the influence that technological developments have on the realities of the artists’ lives.

​​Early June 2019 Frankfurt based Label MMODEMM unleashes DRUMS, their second vinyl release after MDM01 (feat. Privacy, Chinaski, Dj Slyngshot, Nick Klein, Umberto) and several different cassette formats such as Machine Woman’s residency tape (conclusion of a series of 3 weeks studioresidencies at Mousonturm Frankfurt) or their "cassingle box“ edition of five 5 minute tapes MDM A - MDM J.
​​
​​DRUMS is the first of a series of compilations following the concept of signature sounds – an hommage to soundlibraries, a deconstruction of your favorite preset soundgroups. It is to be complemented by the later releases BELLS , VOICES and SLAPBASS.
​​
​​DRUMS is featuring a proggy composition by Macadam Mambo´s EVA GEIST, a jacking hi hat inferno with agitating spanish lyrics by CIENFUEGOS, known thru his releases on L.I.E.S., a dancefloor drumsolo straight out of >Ireland by LUMIGRAPH, who was already featured on MMODEMMs MDM E box and should be known from his Opal Tapes and Mr. Saturday Night releases a few years ago. PEDER MANNERFELT delivers a trippy, drunk masterclass drumlesson, taking house apart with his "Dumb Drums".

In this episode Steph speaks with Jack Latham, a musician and producer also known as Jam City, whose releases on the UK’s Night Slugs label in the 2010s were some of the best examples of a post-club sound that had come to define a generation of artists.

After building a name for himself through this cross-atlantic, post-dubstep amalgamation of grime and garage, hip-hop and bass music on 'Classical Curves' in 2012, Jack’s follow-up record 'Dream a Garden' in 2015 disavowed the slick high-definition and commercial aesthetics of his previous work in favour of a more critically lo-fi excursion into political thought and social activism.

Since then, Jack has been working primarily as a producer, spending extended periods in Los Angeles to work with artist like Troy Sivan, Lil Yachty and Kelela. ‘Pillowland’ meanwhile is his first solo release in five years, dropped through his own Earthly label and concerned with looking back at the music of the past to see what it can teach us about the present.

Artist Statement podcast – Episode 18: Remembering Joy with Jam City (Teaser)

"I’ve been thinking about and listening to SOPHIE’s work since the news of her passing. I’ve been trying to listen to her whole production discography; and I’m struck by the sheer breadth of sounds and ideas that she created while she was with us. 

What her work shows me is that as an artist, musically you can do it all: she forces her listener to never categorise or place her within the limited confines of a single genre; her sounds manage to move through and with so many different kinds of people and musical spaces - she had this unique ability to facilitate world building with her audience during her performances and through everything that she did.

Shilla invited me to contribute to a mix for her series Struma+Iodine, and it feels right to select SOPHIE’s music for this. We should be listening to this together in a room somewhere to process this monumental loss - but instead, I’ve put together some of her tracks that mean the most to me and tried to express the vastness and complexity of her work, although this is just my interpretation.

What’s really helped these past few weeks is seeing the sheer multiplicity in the ways of understanding and celebrating her life and work; so I’ll link to those mixes here (all of which I would highly recommend):
