I.D.M.

We live in dangerous times. We are blinded by control vectors that separate us from reality. And The Black Dog returns with a viral antidote: an album of de-programming material which they’ve called Nether/Neither.

This record continues the work they started with Further Vexations and Radio Scarecrow. Burroughs was right: we are now living in a world that is nothing short of a total information war. We are neither one thing nor another, endlessly on the fence in the face of an onslaught of disinformation. Non-linear hypermedia systems are openly used to control us, their operation being totally exposed, mocking our impotence, yet complete in their power. We are all proles now; all are expected to maintain a mental state of Neither/Neither, of uncertainty and inaction. Even in a world where anyone can be an instant expert on any subject in a single click, we find that all our knowledge is a mere replay of someone else’s script.

We are surrounded and occupied by systems of platitude generation that are empty and self-referential. All is surface and all is hollow. From the Tories’ election propaganda to David Icke, they’re all the same, all meaning filtered to nothing by a lack of substance, science and humanity. Falsehood becomes reason, no matter how ridiculous the proposition. They stand for nothing so they can have no questions to answer.


False prophets and the modern day snake oil salesmen parade their viral vampirism, grasping for our time, money and headspace. Even our ridicule becomes fuel for their trade as they turn ignorance and psychopathic exploitation into received wisdom and public opinion. Ask any sideshow psychic; repeat, pure Barnum bunkum enough times and you can seize the psychology of the masses. Rumours become truth then they become action and policy that in the cold light of the day make no-sense at all. No one’s sure where they heard it but they have. The spectral offer of change, which actually sustains the stasis of confusion. They spin us on a ball of confusion we live on continues to turn and as long as they have us in a state of Neither/Neither they will always maintain control. Fight Back!

Neither/Neither shows the world The Black Dog is reflecting.

"This mix is one that I did thinking of the chains one puts on oneself in order to fulfil expectations.

Listening and losing oneself in the moment is an art, and this mix is dedicated to all of you that come to venues, show after show, and that have never once come up to a performer and requested a song. Those that lose themselves in the moment and embrace whatever road the performer has decided to take the room in. To all those that have let me and other performers play, share, produce and release — thank you for trusting my/our spirit(s)." - @EthiopianRecords

@palmistry is the project of London-based musician Benjy Keating. A vocalist and producer with a singular vision and voice, Palmistry makes hybridized pop music that is both distinctly new and yet, like the best songwriting, sounds instantly familiar. As the producer, writer and performer of his debut LP, PAGAN is a succinct showcase of his holistic approach to contemporary pop, where melancholy and euphoria share equal space and sonic decisions resonate as much as the emotions that run through it. Beyond the music, Palmistry gives us a multi-layered experience - working alongside talented collaborators to build his own visual world through artwork, photography and film.

Palmistry - Great Shall Be Your Peace

The debut full EP from the Diamond Sublimating duo might catch you off guard.  A record that is earthy and dark yet somewhat ethereal, this 002 for the new label comes in steaming.  Recorded by the Hungarian duo on Csepel Island of Budapest, "The Heat Is On" grinds and swirls through expertly crafted blends of house, techno and breakbeat to deliver a body of work that will suit dancefloors at the same time as solo introspection. Remixes from London's Altered Natives and Budapest native Mate Tollner slot in perfectly, each providing their respective take on the homegrown soundscaping that is Diamond Sublimating. The Heat Is On!

As &MEs last two EPs on Keinemusik have been hitting the bulls eye of public perception immediately, his KM034 for sure will meet high expectations from DJs and crowd alike. What should one do within this sort of spotlight? Boil up the same old formula? Milk the cow? Play it safe? Well, &ME is rather going for the dont overthink it and just do whatever you like-option. Which in case of this "One On One"-EP is a collaborative effort with English singer/songwriter-enigma Fink thats letting musicality rule over functionality.
The titletrack on A comes creeping over the floor like an ash cloud. Built up on a grainy beat-pattern, having all lightness dashed out by droning bass, before Finks vocals are exorcising the ghosts of a heavy comedown. "One On One" has shaken off the facility of peaktime-consensus, before the straight kick comes in, but even that unmistakeable floor-referral is invalidated by gloomy harmonies after just a few bars. An obvious move against leadsingle-standards, but considering its omnipresent dark narrative and ultimately condensed vibe, "One On One" is without a doubt one of the strongest &ME cuts ever.
The offering on B1 might be considered as a bit more handy, but still: "Cape Coast" is rather grooving along a serious jungle-delirium than delivering easygoing beach-pleasure. A lot of hissing and chirping and rattling going on in between dense synth- and bass-layers, while live-recorded percussions are escalating into frenzy. Tribalhouse of a rather demonic breed.
Finally, Fink is stripping down the original outline of "One On One" into a sinister and subtle Dub-interpretation on B2. Blurred delays, sparse synths and occasionally implemented kick-detonations, reminding of an alarmingly lowered RHR. Meaning even wider room for his charisma breathing croon.

Out of tranquillity and contemplation, Rampa is reaching out once again. To seek contact, to give and take energy, to offer an even mind-expanding touch. All in guise of two new tracks that, quite fittingly, make this “The Touch” EP and #35 within the Keinemusik release-catalogue.
The title track on A combines all the reflective qualities of the newer Rampa-sound to a mantra that soon will be chanted collectively across dancefloors all around the world. He thoroughly is aiming for the intensifying pull into deepness of a perfect loop. He’s letting go of anything redundant like all too distracting rhythmic elements and therefore opens space for an OM-like, bass-deep interplay of synth-notes and meditational sounds in the background.
“528 Hz” on the other side borrows its name from the concept of the Solfeggio Frequencies. Within the scale of supposedly healing sounds, this very figure is known to be the frequency of repair, representing the energy of love. And an ardent declaration of love this tune is indeed. Within the sound-vocabulary of recent Rampa-releases it might be the logical next chapter after “Trust”. A synth-space- odyssey, emphasized by e-drum-highlights, pulse-quickening tribal-frenzy and a supernova-like blast of energy culminating after the break.

Teengirl Fantasy have been creating an alluringly amorphous blend of house, techno, R&B and experimental sounds for several years now, but NYC duo's forthcoming third LP – '8AM,' out March 24 via Planet Mu – just might be their most adventurous outing to date. Playful, rave-referencing album closer "Wet Eyes and Exhilaration" debuted on Red Bull Radio's First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.

The sweet scent drifted upon the breeze as they stood beneath the terrace. The grass was greener on the other side they said but she was having such a lovely time already and did not want to leave. In the distance the waves rolled in against the shore and there was little to dispel such a feeling of happiness and joy. Peer fig and rhubarb was the scent adrift amongst the air, whether it would last or not she knew little. 

Benoit B has been a man in demand as of late with a string of interesting releases and features. However, he is now set to release a new EP on French record label Versatile.

PREMIERE: Benoit B - Peer Fig And Rhubarb [Versatile]

PHLUX has kept this piece of uplifting melancholia off the digital store radar until now. Having hit over 1 million plays on Youtube and just shy of 1 million plays on Soundcloud 'NYM' finally gets the release it deserves.

What can only be described as an underground sensation this majestic single radiates atmosphere and ambience. An aquatic late night feel presses this chilled out beauty into a warm sense of downtempo pleasure.

Having worked with David O'Dowda, who is known for his tracks featured on 'The Walking Dead', PHLUX is starting to come alive and get noticed for his own productions. Expect to hear an EP in 2017 on Pegdoll.
