For As if. No Mixtape! Vol. 3 we approached Antwerp based producer and label owner Niels Geybels of Audio Visuals Atmosphere. Having independently released Cassettes and digital ep's/lps for the past 2 years, with their first vinyl out just recently, AVA explore an array of experimental electronica that instantly became a favourite of ours as As If.

As If. No Mixtapes! Vol. 3 : Audio Visuals Atmosphere

Volume 4 of our As If. No Mixtapes! series we sought out KP Transmission. Her exploration of a wide range of genres is unique. With viscerally provocative dark, unusual soundscapes, paired with unsettling rhythms and experimental bass, she relinquishes her inner punk, which she also lets out through her band Fanny Kaplan. Independently releasing a vast array of tracks via her Soundcloud and Bandcamp pages, along with limited cassettes, vinyl, and digital releases via Klammlang Tapes, Nanzlo Records and Ciel Blue et Petis Oiseax Records, KP Transmission captures the rawness of experimental music, in a confident manner that creates what we could call her own sub genres.

Throbbing Gristle - PreMature
Dominion - Semi-Divergence

@hot-desk @zoemcpherson 

Hot Desk‘s series Work From Home continues with their third release of the year, featuring Zoë Mc Pherson‘s live recording at Moscow’s Mutabor in November 2019. The eclectic set rolls seamlessly through quirky soundscapes, unforgiving bass and percussion and ebs and flows within darker and warmer synths that help breakdown the 30 minute heavy yet spiritual procession.

For WFH003 all proceedsare donated to Hackney Migrant Centre, a local organization that provides support to asylum seekers, refugees and migrants in London by offering advice on immigration, welfare, housing and health.

‘Her Eyes’ is a haunting seven minute piece created by London based Natasha Giordano and Filip Sijanec, that through eerie guitar and synths, is brought together with an arrangement of subtle textures and sounds.

Her Eyes is one of a thirty-two track V/A ‘Music For Another Sky’, released by Bristol's Mailbox Records. The compilation features a curation of intriguing sounds from the likes of KMRU, Patricia Wolf, Heavy Cloud and many more, with 100% of the profits going to Refuge, a charity helping women and children escape a life of abuse and violence.
