B2. Korridor - Somnolence

»sleepstep« is the first collaboration between raster-noton and dasha rush. the record‘s subtitle »sonar poems for my sleepless friends« describes its underlying concept – »sleepstep« is a trip through electronically alienated microcompositions and sound collages that, interwoven with text passages, aim at creating a dream-like atmosphere.

the stations of this journey are striving for oblivion of time, an immersion, a drifting in universal states – death, life, birth, grief, desire. the titles often appear to be raw sketches, fugitive, surreal short stories that rather want to break open than execute.

the musical arrangement, in this context, can be described as rather subtle and fragile. though electronically manipulated, no production technique is pushing itself to the fore. and though clichés are not dreaded, »sleepstep«, as a result, stays away from being cliché. the sonar poems for her sleepless friends are feminine, subtle and personal reports. a musical dream journey in the form of a classical concept record – an album that also stands in the tradition of ambient music.

dasha rush is already known as a techno dj and producer. here on »sleepstep«, she celebrates her alter ego. the cd version comes with a 32-pages booklet that also shows her photographic interest and includes the aforementioned poems written by her. furthermore there is 2 x 12" vinyl version.

Smells Like Teen Spirit (Rave Grunge Edit) - Hard Techno

Transmission incoming from Mr. Incognito's secret lab. Rat Life presents eight psycho acoustic models made by the low key East German producer. You probably never heard of him, but he is doing this thing since half an eternity. Rather than playing a lot of shows he focuses on studying the craft of electronic sound manipulation and what else can be said that: he is on top of his game! He shows us that it is still possible to create sonic structures that are beyond the usual by just using classic devices such as the TR 808 rhythm composer and a TB 303 monophonic synthesizer. Next level funk composing at various tempi!

Taking the shine off your optimistic disposition, Inchmix048 is from @holygeometry boss Ryan Kent via his @italianolympics alias (and tape label of the same name). The 45min hammer-fisted exploration pulls you head first into the raw, guttural soundscapes of noise, industrial and power electronics.

Poised for the next Italian Olympics release will be ‘Escúchame Cabrón’, a tape compilation curated by Kent. It will feature a selection of female artists and will try to help raise awareness on the oppression of women in Spain
“it's a country close to my heart but has a terrible record for violence against women and this compilation is my own little attempt to bring it to light”

Four new releases from Divorce Ring, Pulp Extortion, Caerulea, Dominic Coppola are now available on Holy Geometry. 
Kent also produces under @sofiaozdravovna & @resolution260  for labels such as @totalblack, @vienna-press, Last Europa Kiss & @audiovisualsatmosphere

Title: ALLT E’NTE
Label: Kess Kill/Kontra-Musik
Catnr: KESS12/KM056
Format: 12" LP
Release: 23 mar 2020
Distributed by: Clone

"ALLT E'NTE" IS A REACTION TO THE EMERGING EXPECTATION ON POLITICISATION OF MUSIC. A RESPONSE TO THE DEMAND AND IMPLICIT CONDITION TO BE CURRENT, RELEVANT AND TAKE A STAND. ALLT ’ENTE REPUDIATES ALL RESPONSIBILITY, CONVEYS HARDLY ANYTHING, BUT HOPEFULLY OCCUPIES SPACE. ALLT E'NTE CELEBRATES SYNTHESIS AND REJECTS BINARIES. OUR HOPE IS THAT ALLT E'NTE IS AS OUT-OF-DATE IN 200 YEARS AS IT IS TODAY. NO NEED TO POINT OUT THE PARADOX."

Das Vergehen Der Zeit

This week, a momentous deep techno traversal from engimatic Ottawa DJ/producer/live performer @ruthgrader. He's also the funder of @mixedsignals-cc, a great platform covering key happenings in the underground electronic music community. 

This set debuts our 'side effects' sub-series, for more cerebral, deep, and downtempo-oriented sounds.

I'm really into photography, either analog and digital and really enjoy exploring empty spaces, outdoors and architecture and document my own moments from weird angles, shapes and textures. I have a professional background in Web Development and Design, so I always found myself seeking for ideas for projects and photography was always one of those ways to find creative forms of expression within myself, and also to get me outside. 

I also have a professional background in Artisan Baking and cooking, with that passion I always found that I was able to express a creative side of myself through food and the art of making it. I find it super important to always find any sort of creative output that will contribute to put our minds in trance and get something out of the box from it. 

What’s your favorite album, artist, or music to listen to that isn’t dance music?

When I was an early teenager, in the late 90s, I got heavily involved in the Punk and Hardcore community in South America (where I'm from) and played in many bands, touring toured all over until I moved to Canada in 2009. I'm still a punk and but that was my world basically, so there are some bands and albums that I still carry with me and listen every day, some older than others. Here's one from Spain:

Ictus - Impervm 12"
https://open.spotify.com/album/3UsbhfBCykXDVDIfUBcFya?si=eYVmY2TMTZC-DkO8cyeLnA

I also got really involved in Hip-hop in the late 90s, specifically in more creative and political related content based artists from South America. There are many but one in specific that really shaped me, I think that you should listen to her:

Anita Tjoux - 1977
https://open.spotify.com/album/3ZhTbUZNobDXuzcYWGzxA3?si=mlKNN5ywQ8iUGbczdpS3yQ

And something I'm listening while writing this, good for zipping coffee on a cold -20 Saturday morning:

Karate - Unsolved LP

Inhale, exhale, close your eyes and enjoy your journey because it will never happen again the same way.

When I started, I was doing live sets using hardware only, either playing shows at bars, DIY spaces or clubs. The settings for those live sets were always different and unexpected because when you do live sets like that, you usually don't have much control of where are you going to set your gear and where exactly are you going to play, sometimes behind the DJ booth, sometimes besides, in the front or even on top of the CDjs. It was until recently that I started DJing and found myself in the DJ booth. Both experiences are different and equality interesting and each night is different from the next one. 

I personally enjoy playing small dark spaces with a couple of probe lights and sweaty walls, at floor level. Not into the big DJ booth on top of the dancers because I should not be the focus, they are.
