xquisite releases presents 'woodland dance' the first album by @oxhy

texture of millet
sweet song and laid out sweet on the bed
hours without rest and billowing like the night
god entered into my body
like a body my same size
like me floating into you
or you floating into me
commandments that met their fate
and crumbled like warm foetus
chained around their neck
fresh from birth
wriggling for the morning
like we were my god
like all that crumbles
flayed to the touch as a foal
now in the woods i hear silence
and what it once was commands me
i couldn’t grieve the birds but i mimic
like the lyre bird
a toy gun or the sound of machines
fickle objects whose breath now permeates the woodlands
vain cries that covered up the silence
and smothered your word oh god
i miss the morning star
oh fever dream
dream of prolonged moments
coagulated spit and pus on the floor
washed and washed again

oxhy - Outside

"Cold Crystal Timbres" recalls the immediate past. Hight-tech emotions and synthetic unnaturalness: When sonic hybridities were echoing early 2000s pop.

Once a haven for nerds and enthusiasts, the internet became accessible to many in the early 2010s. Utopias linked to the early internet, such as that of an anonymous and democratic cyberspace, are finally being displaced by a neoliberal Silicon Valley ideology that manifests itself in platforms like Facebook and Amazon.

Rebecca Fuxen and Martin Rovan’s mixtape "Cold Crystal Timbres" pays tribute to the music that emerged from this structural change and aesthetically relates to it. This hybrid music genre, which developed between 2010 and 2015, is characterized by both cold digital sounds and nostalgic pop references. It is embedded in collectives, loose associations, labels, events, or curatorial projects that network primarily through platforms such as SoundCloud and Myspace. Although this music takes place mostly in traditional club settings, it is transnational, digital networking practices that create political activism and solidarity: many collectives establish platforms for DJs, producers, and activists. They reclaim the white- and male-dominated club scene and emphasize the queer context of its genesis and the central role of BPoC within club music.

Listening to the digital, high-resolution sounds of the time one comes to grasp the intersections of digital everyday culture and music as well as the influence that technological developments have on the realities of the artists’ lives.

glamour:
ehh hahah once described this album as “audio furniture” and we think it’s a perfect comparison. imagine yourself window shopping in the biggest mall, riding all of its elevators and soaking up music playing in the background. “house ze skrzypcami w tle” drags out these sounds to the foreground, creating the most emotional stock music.

ehh hahah:
"house ze skrzypcami w tle" is about taking jokes seriously and taking things seriously - it's a blend of ehhs and hahahs. sometimes cheap midi sounds and sometimes more [1] sound design practices. but it's not about contrast or some kind of musical or mood ying-yang. to be honest, no one really knows what is a joke and whether that joke was serious or not. it's all big misunderstanding, but with [2] it may be pleasant after all.
is this house music with cello sounds? (that is the translation of the title, based on some random old polish meme) not really, but somehow actually it is, maybe. it depends, what are you looking for. but i think that it's better to not think too much and simply listen to...  more

Victor Metske is a Rotterdam-based electronic musician, who is normally known for his energetic club-ready style of production and for the label Bound Centre, which he co-founded with Ice Viper, Imhotel & Ezra V. On katharsis, he presents a more introspective and thoughtful side of himself with his EP “In The Midst Of Things”, which seems to stem from this weird year of isolation and quarantine.

The 4 tracks of the EP send us on a contemplative journey through our feelings, spanning from the blissful pads on the beautiful opener “Flour On Her Feet” to the more disturbing and anxious plucked strings on “First Sight”. Metske states the following about the release:

“In the midst of things, in between life changing events and entirely new daily routines there were small moments where I could sit down and reflect. The four tracks of this EP were created in these small pockets of time. During the pregnancy of my girlfriend, after the birth of our son, at the arrival of a global crisis.

Melodic and atmospheric elements previously hidden in my send channels have been braving the foreground of my productions for a while now. But more recently I've been able to use these elements to translate the weight of recent events directly into some of my music. All four tracks represent very personal abstract feelings that I could never put to words.

Within these four tracks, I can hear feelings of joy, love, doubt and melancholy scream back at me. I can hear myself settling into a new world, struggling with relinquishing control and discovering calmth.”
