In celebration of his latest soundtrack for Naqqash Khalid's directorial debut, In Camera, Warp alumni and celebrated producer Clark presents a cinematic soundscape in his Bleep mix selection, an aural long panning shot moving across films and composers both legendary and modern classic in status. Featuring Popol Vuh (Heart Of Glass), Howard Shore (Videodrome) alongside Disasterpiece (It Follows) and Cristobal Tapia de Veer (Utopia) to name a few, while further highlighting the juxtaposition in a bold move cutting the themes for both Solaris films next to each other.

“Really enjoyed compiling this mix of OST stuff I'm rather fond of. Yes it starts with an 8 minute track. But it's Popol Vuh and it has one of the most gorgeous end sections ever. It was interesting hearing the two Solaris themes next to each other. It's obvs more trendy to be all "oh I prefer the original Solaris score- and all the deleted stuff that only 3 people on Earth have heard" but I actually really like the Martinez version as well. It was interesting to me hearing the complete shift in timbre that 30 years of evolved music making tools bring-The slick slightly airlocked, clean layers of Martinez contrasting with the Artymev glowing, encrusted analogue 70's organs burnt to tape. But the emotional space feels similar.” - Clark

Decompression Takeover w/ Hanna Baertig (19/10/25)

New York City’s Veronica Vasicka very much discovered an untapped musical mine when searching for music for her radio show more than a decade ago. That mine was full of rare, overlooked and forgotten DIY synth records from the 70s and 80s and inspired her to start her own label, Minimal Wave. Since then it has become an imprint with a very focussed musical and visual identity, has spawned compilations on Peanut Butter Wolf's Stones Throw Records and has made Veronica an in demand DJ all round the world.

At those gigs, she offers up a sleek musical vision that is mirrored here in the mix she had done for our on going series.  Starting with a poignant monologue about new music, it then drops into a rugged groove that is industrial and machine made, abstract and futuristic. The ensuing hour touches on the robo-techno of Levon Vincent, terse beats and raved-up electro as well as some colourful and trippy disco. A lot is packed in, but a buffed metal sheen ties the whole thing together and subtly oozes the very essence of Minimal Wave. 

Dekmantel Podcast 072 - Veronica Vasicka

We are honored to present the first vinyl reissue of French legends Martin Dupont’s seminal album from 1987, ‘Hot Paradox’. Martin Dupont was originally founded by Alain Seghir in Marseille in 1980. He enlisted numerous collaborators throughout the years, including Beverley Jane Crew, Brigitte Balian, and Catherine Loy. Martin Dupont was immensely talented with a rare dynamic between its varying members that was likely inspired by a combination of their magnetic personalities, creative vision, and the home studio where they recorded. Their music was colorful, enthusiastic, and delicate, but also melancholy and mysterious. A mixture of hot and cold, light and dark. They created electronic music that incorporated guitars, clarinets, and saxophones and is described by many as New Wave yet truly transcended genres. Aside from having been released as part of ‘The Complete Collection: 1980-1988’ 5-LP box set, the ‘Hot Paradox’ album hasn’t been available on vinyl since 1987. It is one of Martin Dupont’s most exquisite albums, illustrating the band’s mastery of synthesizer work, drum programming, and vocal duets. The album is vibrant and emotive, simultaneously somber and bright, theatrical and danceable. It is an essential album in the French cold wave, new wave, and minimal synth scenes, and in recent years, has finally received the recognition it deserves beyond any musical categorization. The Hot Paradox album reissue is pressed on 180-gram black vinyl, is accompanied by the original insert/lyrics sheet, and is housed in a heavy-weight sleeve featuring art by Yves Cheynet. The Hot Paradox LP is now available for pre-order with a release date of October 10th, 2023.

Hot Paradox

Martin Dupont 'Inside Out' from the Hot Paradox LP

Maximalist singer & composer diving into darkwave and techno with vocal harmonies and lots of reverb.
I prefer the ridiculously undefinable term “rainbowgoth” for my music.
