Cotenius X is the duo that stops making sense. It’s an exploratory improvisational project of the Ukrainian sound artist Daria Redkina and the Russian experimental vocalist Varya Pavlova aka Lisokot. Improvising together since 2017 they incorporate folk, electronic and musique concrète elements into their spontaneous compositions. Their theatrical performances involve impersonation or adoption of different characters and are informed by social, historical, and site-specific narratives.

Both Redkina and Pavlova work with loops, synths and effects, reshaping various samples into novel forms. “Oceans In Flames”, for example, evokes a slowly evolving sound field that sprouts, collapses and decays under flickering fluorescent bulbs. The effect is not dissimilar to the epic catastrophic landscape paintings, but remixed for our own AI-saturated end times.

Most of the tracks on Plastic Bag are recordings of live shows. “Burunduk” is taken from the duo’s first ever performance and sees Pavlova impersonating animal spirits – forest sprites and haunted chipmunks abound. Meanwhile “Fukushima Tuna” and the album’s title track employ the talents of avant-garde saxophonist Sergey Letov who sows seeds of optimism onto the scorched plastic soil...

Dark Science Electro - Episode 704 - 3/10/2023

ITX167 mixed by Loginow

Wow, didn't expect us to come back? Well, here we are, making a comeback!

Let's start the year with a mix from Vova Loginow (@logginow), a shining star on the music scene in Cyprus. It's all classic: EBM, energetic disco, and a touch of oriental flair. In short, honey 🍯

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

Ку-ку! Не ожидали, что мы вернемся? А вот мы взяли и вернулись! 

Начнем год с микса от Вовы Логинова (@logginow), лучика света на музыкальной сцене Кипра. Тут все по классике: ибиэм, напористое диско и щепотка ориентальщины. Одним словом, мёд-медятина.

Burning Love

smoke

In the aftermath of a fallen world, rhythms rise from the ashes. Dub the Electric Ruins fuses deep dub grooves with electric pulses and shattered echoes — a hypnotic journey through a wasteland of sound. Layers of reverb, distorted synths, and militant drum echoes create a dystopian dubscape where the past vibrates beneath the rubble, and the future hums with resistance. This track is a call to rebuild, not with bricks, but with bass.



“Voltage in the Void” (Remix)

[Verse]
There’s a bright white light
When the sun goes down
She’s the northern star
With the golden crown
And her crystal walls
They reflect desire
They call me on
To get lost inside her
[Chorus]
In a gilded cage
A gilded cage
A gilded cage
In a gilded cage
A gilded cage
A gilded cage
[Verse]
In a gilded cage
With a golden key
From the golden gate
To the golden sea
I saw a bird of prey
I saw a hummingbird
I heard a meadowlark
It was the saddest song I ever heard
[Chorus]
In a gilded cage
A gilded cage
A gilded cage
In a gilded cage
A gilded cage
A gilded cage
[outro]
A beautiful bird in a gilded cage
(A beautiful bird in a gilded cage)
A gilded cage.
(A gilded cage.)
