CLINICAL SKILLS

Plastre_TRAIL

‘Mixtape_01’ is the debut drop from Vienna-based ssolve, and a low key hit of the reset button on a range of electronic musics. Reconstituting strewn sounds from club nights and noise gigs, ssolve’s fresh sound takes in liberated dark beats from gqom, kaleidoscopic neoperro, along with guttural industrial throbs (and screams). ssolve moulds these pieces into a fresh little world of heady glocalised bass, beats, and bombast. Behind the mixtape’s sounds lie years of experience ghost-writing, producing, and sound-designing for a range of projects.

Finally let loose, unconstrained, ssolve’s tentacles blossom across cinematic granules of thudding light on ‘Ultra Forever’, sculpt an intimate ambient prayer on ‘Waves’, or slice samples into visceral dancefloor-ready riddims on ‘RYTM F’, ‘RYTM C’, and ‘RYTM D’.

Born in Germany, ‘89 to a Namibian/German Household, ssolve has lived in Vienna for over a decade. ‘mixtape_01’ was co-created with Enesi M., Ragnheiður Erla Björnsdóttir, and Ernst Lima.

RYTM F

Shelter proudly presents: Mizgîn, a leviathan compilation of 18 tracks by 21 artists presiding on the cutting edge of electronic music. 

As we find ourselves in the eye of the storm during the most deteriorated epoch in modern history, Mizgîn, meaning "good news" in Kurdish, was motivated by the desire to offer respite from the horrors of the world. Shelter's ambition to unite different regional music scenes has once again brought together artists from nearly every continent, with contributions from legendary names.

This compilation is dedicated to everyone struggling towards the liberation of the oppressed.

Mizgîn releases on 17.05.2024 on all streaming platforms.

The machinic rapture of Van Boom’s debut album, ‘Prosthetics’, firmly planted the Kuwaiti artist in the underground of critical producers that stoke grisly and inhuman themes. Set against the backdrop of the Gulf Region, these themes remain exceptionally nefarious. His latest release, the ‘NUBORNE’ EP, mounts wider explorations of the eviscerating sonic grounds that he began to depict with his first long-playing document.

Gestured with the EP’s title, ‘NUBORNE’ stakes its significance on regeneration and permutation, clearly relishing in the aftermath of ‘Prosthetics’. Across four tracks, Van Boom crafts precisely to forge a set of works that are attached to their live performance state. It’s here that the EP is at home, for this is where unknowns come into play, this is where distortion leads to novel structures. Featuring collaborations with whiterose, Safety Trance, and Evita Manji, ‘NUBORNE’ is rendered evermore atypical. Accompanying the shift in design, there’s an unnerving ambience that’s given free reign across the EP, too. Snapshots of solitude prick the focal points amongst rhythmic tics, as if these shards deform the tracks in real time. With sheer relentless momentum, Van Boom seizes a new path wielding his familiar forces.

Felix Lee, the producer formerly known as Lexxi and @5tarb01, Elysia Crampton collaborator and ex-organiser of the culture-clash Endless parties and its namesake NTS radio show, has signed to Planet Mu. The first fruits of his future album is 'KOH', a vocal debut from Felix, co-produced by Whitearmor with additional vocals by Ecco2k (@gravityboys)

Felix delivers his cascading verse through spiralling fx, as if in a haze of insomnia, "It's like I'm living inna daze", Ecco2k operating as a dual voice, as the delicate synths seem to shimmer back in response. "I'm the king of hearts I got missing parts"; the lyrics paint an ambigiuous picture of detachment and shapeshifting, dreamt through the lense of a petty thief; "I'm breaking thru your locks, jumper cable knots, run off with the engine block". A taste of what's to come.
