"Unimatrix Zero is our sanctuary. When we're here, our thoughts are our own."

Is it a dream, a Jungian fantasy, a deep dive into the repressed psyche? Is it a malfunction? Or is it the one place where you can escape from the repetitive drone of the hive mind?

"Interlink: A" is the debut release from Unimatrix Zero, a collection of tracks for on and off the dancefloor from our friends across the North American dance music community.

Detroit-via-Ithaca's Otodojo provides a buoyant, aquatic and soothing entry point, remixing and completing track sketch "Unimatrix" from label co-founder Lychee. Portland's Braun picks up the energy with bright, skittering dub techno in "Slipstream," a track as ready for peak time as it is for a dreamy sunrise. Recent NYC transplant Sister Zo, with roots in Kansas City and Columbus, Ohio, brings the low-swung, percussive wiggle in "Mess Around," a slickly lubricated mechanical trip. NYC's Blacklauren, half of the Long Count Cycle, delivers a euphoric wormhole in "Teocalli," defly tempering tension and comfort. NYC favorite Kenya Kanazawa, with roots in Yamagata and Tokyo, evokes a dewy forest at dawn in delicate dubby reverie "Fog in the Floor." Label co-founder Guilt Attendant's contemplative closer, "Their Soul Thirsts in the Desert", is a track for yearning; what is the thing you are pining for that you aren't even sure you can recall?

All proceeds from this release in the first year will be donated to Synth Library NYC to help provide access to music technology equipment for people of all experience levels and economic means in NYC: www.synthlibrarynyc.org

Unimatrix Zero is a project of Guilt Attendant and Lychee.

FOQL - WEHIKUŁ LP - MAL///003

Here we are with another delusional moment of our imaginary life. We assume you never much had the opportunity to be a spectator of an ectoplasmic military parade from the Middle-East? Well, we probably have found the soundtrack to it, on the aptly named Ghost Dance label, run by dear Brahim Lumière. An invitation to the Palestinian Beatmaker Asifeh to gather 14 dystopian tracks on a handmade cassette. 
After Sangre Voss' EP, the Saint-Etienne imprint delves now deeper into the vaporous limbo of experimental music, with these dirty, Lo-Fi oriental loops, constantly fluctuating between dark, violent, melancholic, folkloric or occult atmospheres.
A tumultuous exploration of the concept of infiltration which lies behind the 'Tasalul' LP title.

To be released on December 5:

Julpi (09.02.23)

An 18 month long project born out of the pandemic, Búsqueda was initially an exercise in spontaneity as Erre Ye attempted to break out of a long creative block, trying new techniques and processes. The result is a science-fiction inspired, extraterrestrial journey through darker sounds, brimming with unusual textures and exhilirating twists and turns. 

Deep, meditative opener Ilusión Temporal sets the tone for this textural, introspective record. Next up, ‘Ahogo’ is a spaced-out electro work-out with dreamy synths soaring over crushing kicks. Next up the brooding club track ‘El Camino’, portrays a melancholic journey through darker territory. Exploring deconstructed club and IDM is off-kilter body moving track ‘Conocer’. ‘Aparecí’ blends noise and industrial elements with ambient leading into ‘Viaje Al Interior’ - the most stripped-back and lightest track on the record - it’s a shimmering blend of IDM and ambient, paving the way for tonal closer ‘El Próximo Encuentro’. Glassy chimes meet experimental percussives on this glistening last track. Upping the tempo into a frenetic work-out before coming back to ground, here Erre Ye flexes his most experimental hand yet.

The return

After 5 years of 'Fortnightly Freebies' columns collating our favourite free downloads, we decided to do things a bit differently for the 100th chapter. Introducing 'Big Material', a 19-track 'name your price' compilation that will donate 100% of profits made to Stonewall Housing, a London-based charity supporting some of the most marginalised and vulnerable in our society.

At a time when unfair austerity is increasing inequality and leaving so many behind, we hope to support a community that has given so much to the 'scene' and music we love. Digi-dub abstractions and drifting ambient to kaleidoscopic breaks and newly-coined genre, 'subtle donk', it's a pretty accurate microcosm of the If-Only curation as a whole.

Big Material pulls together music from some of If-Only's favourite artists, with tracks from @apsychicyes, @riveryarra, Material Things (@12th-isle), @priori-ties, @nicholaswilson1982 & @steviewhisper, @benoitb, @maxabysmal, @58daniel, @bogdan-drazic, @whyesss, @twitch, @warzouk, @thomasbakk, @eyemeasure, @rdjm0, @furiousfrank, Moonphase (AKA @cl_lit), @moonbowmusic and @aki-aki.

--------------

Soft and calm, we, like light
fray into gentle chaos.
Big material unfurls
Then turns to collect, reform –
Like breaths, draw in
To new poise and structure;
Solid and slow.
Never still. Glacial.

Think back, before
A piece of things,
Moving alone, once a part –
But when is the fragment
not the whole?
When is the whole not the whole?
The salt which made the chalk
Which made the cliff
Which made the slate -

Hard to see,
Once a part and still, we are,
A piece of something else.

--------------
All profits go to Stonewall Housing, a London-based charity working to ensure lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people live in safer homes, free from fear, where they can celebrate their identity and support each other to achieve their full potential.
