Taken from SBKT049: Osheyack - Intimate Publics
Release date: 8th June 2022

Intimate Publics, Osheyack’s second album, is an homage to Shanghai, the city he has called home since 2012. Over the past ten years the producer has evolved from an avid club-goer to a key member of the vital soundscape that emerged from ALL Club and its predecessor, the now defunct club The Shelter. As hinted by the title, which draws on American social theorist Michael Warner’s work on publics and counterpublics, the album expresses a commitment to mining the utopian potential of club music, forging new worlds and generating future social relations, just as the artist bids farewell to the city at a moment of uncertain transition. While tracks like 'Edging' and 'Thrall' continue to present his signature collage of harder club music, the rest of the record reveals a shift to synthetic approximations of acoustic instruments. 'Still', the central track of the album, is a piece composed almost entirely of samples found on Vocaloid (a vocal synthesizer developed by Yamaha, commonly used to give voice to Japanese virtual idols). While echoing themes explored in previous projects, like the nature of realism and authenticity in a techno-mediated landscape, Intimate Publics is charged with an unexpected emotional candor and vulnerability, unveiling a personal side Osheyack is only beginning to explore.

Osheyack - Usually Never

"On the way to the beach, the sultriness melted the buildings in front of our retinas. Distortion of metal, glass and concrete, naturally generated. Once we reached the coast, the impact of the wind required us an extra human effort to walk. The tide had risen excessively the night before, infesting the strip of sand with garbage and a type of dark-colored algae known as Hijiki. We were talking about the influence of the Earth's rotation upon the movement of the tides. We think that the rising and falling of salt water works more as a metaphor than in a vectorial sense linked to the flooding. On one hand, there is the relationship between the movement of the Earth and the waters. On the other, the dynamic dance of the moons, the suns and the other planets. All of this matters. Along the sandy zone, black algae merged with human waste. The viscous appearance of a piece of black plastic had mixed with one of the photosynthetic organisms, forming what looked like the most beautiful mutant creature we've ever seen. After successive heatwaves, these types of beings became more and more common. Plastic plant polymers that attached themselves to dead sea creatures, forming the monsters of our time. The creature remained motionless except when it interacted with the salt water, which tried to drag it into the infinite dark sea. Its tentacles clung to the ground like roots. It looked like the lung of a whale, the heart of a machine, a piece of everything." - Guilherme Ferreira

Nascence

Enrico Cesaro, also known as Mace., is back under the Entire City alias with "How To Be Yourself", a co-release between viscm and angoisse.

A highly personal work, the 6 tracks comprising the album shape a canvas of individual experiences, family memories and collective (un)consciousness that suggests - both by blending together and maintaining their own singular character - the hurdle of grasping totality.

"How to be Yourself” is an ode to the ever-changing, elusive and untouchable unfolding of the self which leads to the question:
"Have I ever been someone?"
