Mercure Rétrograde 25 ─ Agnes Aves

The silence in the room was palpable. They'd run out of words, there was nothing left in the tank. She couldn't bear the tension, how quickly things had turned from perfectly pleasant to sour in just a matter of minutes. His vacant expression gave little away, she'd always found it difficult to read him. She stared at him long and hard, hoping there'd be some sort of tell eventually, but nothing... Her hope had turned to confusion then to anger, what more could she give when he gave her nothing back?

After releasing a handful of EPs under his Count van Delicious alias which focuses on Italo Disco, Bristol-based DJ and producer Cowper is now exploring new musical terrain under his given name. His debut EP, I Can See You, Can You See Me? comes as a self-release and features four slow, dark and hypnotic tracks. There's echoes of trance, industrial, EBM and ambient, all stirred up good and proper to create an atmospheric collection of metallic beats and psychedelic synth cuts.

I Can See You, Can You See Me?

https://soundcloud.com/redasa: I recorded the mix in the basement of Canal 54. It is the floor that welcomes events and where I feel the best to enjoy a selection of music I love. This one is a mix of old and new music which I find rhythmic as well as the aesthetic I love with music. I also share three new tracks, one comes from a recent VA for Palestine, and two others are upcoming releases on my new label « Beau Virage Records ». New beat, House, and progressive electronic music are expected here! Enjoy!

Reda Saiarh is a DJ and producer based in Geneva, known for his commitment to both the local and international music scenes. As the co-founder and programmer of Geneva’s cultural café, Canal 54, he actively contributes to the growth of the local culture while pursuing his music career. His first major record release came in 2021 with the launch of his vinyl on the Dutch label Afrobotic Musicology, which set his career on a new trajectory.

In 2022, after impressing with his track Kiki on the Trains of Thought compilation, Rosie Cain supported him in releasing a full EP, Comfort Zone, on her label, Human Endeavour, allowing him to embrace and affirm his style. Reda stands out not only for the quality of his productions but also for his commitment to humanitarian causes. In 2023, he contributed to solidarity compilations, including Put the Coconut Down to support Ukraine, as well as Rare 80s, in collaboration with Ransom Note and Mütesna Records, to assist earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria.

Inspired by the impact of such initiatives, Reda Saiarh launched an important project in response to the earthquakes in his native country, Morocco. In collaboration with Ransom Note and Rosie Cain, Tadamoun—meaning “Solidarity”—will bring together over 24 artists, including Bogdan Ra, Romain FX, JD Twitch, Anastasia Zems, and many more. His track Ma3akoum, meaning “With You,” is a distinctive signature. Remaining dedicated, he has also appeared on compilations supporting the Palestinian cause with tracks like New Beat Against the Machine and Malayika.

Alongside these projects, his performances resonate in clubs in Geneva and beyond, in cities such as Berlin at Oxi Club, Paris at La Rotonde Stalingrad, and Nantes at the famous Macadam. Reda is also a regular on influential radio stations like Rinse France, Kiosk Radio, and more recently, NTS Radio.

In 2023, Bowmore, the programmer of the show Club Selectors, offered him three resident podcasts on Swiss radio station Couleur3.

Like many Canadians, Joseph Shabason and Ben Gunning like to untangle themselves from urbanity and disappear up north a few times a year. Unlike other cottage-goers, Ben and Joseph don’t while away the ur-time on jet-skis and lounge on docks reading pulpy mysteries. Instead, they bring a car full of synths, drum machines, saxophones, guitars, samplers, effects, and recording equipment to jam the days away in a cabin-fever inducing haze of wood smoke, cedar musk, hot wires and jazz sweat. 

Muldrew, recorded on the northern Ontario lake by that name, is the culmination of several years of this collaborative tradition. Resisting their penchant for composition and arrangement, the duo embarked on this project with only an open framework that encouraged restraint. The result is a sparse and improvisational album, hung on enough structure for each song to evoke a distinct, albeit ambiguous mood. Space is paramount and even the most digital elements breathe with the resonance of the room and mingle with creaking floors. The resulting album is steeped in the placid stillness and northern ambience of a lake at dawn, and the emotive expanse of a forest at dusk. Imagine an ECM cottage-series, or Jon Hassell, Hiroshi Yoshimura, and John Martyn scoring a Bela Tarr film set in rural Canada. This is the future-proof music of metropolitan polyglot minds invigorated by nature’s mute refusal to follow a click-track.

Metatone was founded in 1993 by Adkins himself together with Damon D’cruz who had by that time closed his previous label, Jack Trax. Over the next two years, Metatone released six 12” EP’s and a CD compilation until its abrupt end. The releases flew under the radar for many but were loved by those who were lucky enough to discover them. Today, the original pressings are a techno crate digger’s daydream.

Compiled from the original DAT tapes and remastered by Andreas “Lupo” Lubich at Calyx Mastering, “Electro Music Union, Sinoesin & Xonox Works 1993 - 1994” calls for J. M. Adkins’ music to be firmly placed among the defining classics of its time.

TURBERA, FIRST EP BY @aggromance
Premiere by @resident-advisor

The South is more than just a landscape. It is a corporal mark permeating the sensible experience; a form of imagination staggering on the edge of forgetfulness; an ambivalent minoritarian-becoming coexisting between the uncontrolled immensity of profusion and the violence of systematic plundering. 

From the record label Hiedrah Club de Baile, AGGROMANCE’s first full-length album, Turbera, is a digital handicraft piece that displays the contradictory speeds of a brown life born under the sign of the Uncomfortable, that worn coat embracing the very end of the world; a singular sound reluctant to the idea of a reconciliation between origin and destiny; a cartography from a stained body aimed to disorient the moral expectations about that sunken cry articulating its own desire to survive. 

Between the continuum of a hardcore sound lubricated by the cosmopolitan rawness and the tremor of a language desperate to the “authoctonous legitimacy”, right at the middle of the acid dampness of a nameless garden, Turbera unleashes the promise for a party gloomed by resentment as a twisted form of hope. A low-tech danceable impulse stagging that distopian futurity which we still live in, allowing us to recognize our faces against the dirty mirrors of this swamp-world, where, despise all our fatigues, there is some music worthlessly running on the melting of the global order and it harbors the password of the living.
