SUB-MARINE & THE SOUNDSYSTEM 2025

This EP explore Industrial Dancehall through different visions. With a darker approach, but also with hope, putting some light and colours in few tracks, I’ll try to describe a post-pandemic fear and imagine how the sound system culture would be in 2025. Electronic music is getting more agressive and more darker. This is reflect by this project that may me think about a ride in post-apocalyptic desert, but also linking with all survivors around a unique sound system as one of the last pillar of dancehall music.   Distorted and noisy bass-lines, senegalese rhythmic sabar drums, warlike desert brass and pads, symphonic hopefully strings, aquatic kalimba are the ingredients of this new dish  

With 2 two vocal tracks and 7 riddims (+1 bonus track), let’s make this travel together ! Hope you enjoy and if you like it you can support by making a feedback, sharing and buying even better ^^

PHILAE TOUCHDOWN (mapalma x mobilegirl)

Producing and DJing under a nom-de-plume, Chilean born, @Paul-Marmota, makes truly global club music. He started producing at 17, using FruityLoops to build his first beats, whilst living on the rural outskirts of suburban Santiago with his grandparents.

For Paul Marmota, music and family are one in the same. Having constantly grown up around music, an impression was left on a young Paul in major ways. Marmota attributes this largely to his grandparents’ influence; his grandfather had a large collection of science fiction novels and jazz and soul records on cassette, exposing a young Paul Marmota to so many varied and worldly influences whilst his grandmother was an art professor who would make beautiful collages that decorated their home. Her approach, to collage a mixture of different and eclectic images, influenced Paul in his style of production wherein he mixes a diverse array of ideas.

Paul Marmota’s music is an impressive amalgamation of Latin and Western electronic sounds refracted through a science-fiction lens, seemingly drawing from the past, present, and future simultaneously which makes it impossible to tie down in any one period of time.

Paul Marmota’s DJ sets weave his influences intricately together with his productions and home-made edits, creating a global patchwork that would be guaranteed to raise the body temperature of any dancefloor.

Often opting for a more minimalist approach, Marmota’s music is characterised by vivid melodies peppered with impeccably precise percussion - ‘Adaptacion’ works in an album context whilst remaining super functional in the club, built with a DJs perspective in mind.

Not tied to a single approach, the album can not be easily pigeonholed into any one genre as Marmota’s music consistently reappropriates traditional Latin sounds and samples to fit into a global club context.

Tracks like ‘sS’ and ‘Gio’ re-use and recycle elements from Dembow, including the percussive sound palette, whilst altering it’s context to fit modern dance floors. Some of the other songs on ‘Adaptacion’ such as ‘Maleanteo’, ‘Resonancia’, ‘Hum’, ‘Duro’ and ‘Signal’ were produced on affordable, second-hand hardware purchased in the middle of Mexico City - including a Yamaha dX7, a Roland xp-80 keyboard and drum machines such as the Yamaha Rm1x, Boss DR-660 and a Korg Electribe. The strength in these tracks lies in the principle that limitation is your best friend in creation, using 1980s consumer electronics in ways they have not been used before.

Since relocating from Santiago, Chile to Mexico City in 2010, Paul Marmota has been heavily cross-pollinating club sounds. ‘Adaptacion’ is a collection of some of his recent works, delving into many diverse corners of the club music spectrum. Drawing from a variety of Latin musical influences such as Dembow, Tribal Prehispanico, Musica Andina, Flamenco and other worldly sounds such as Algerian Rai and Afrobeats, Paul mixes these disparate styles together with elements of Industrial music, Bubbling, Techno, and Rap resulting in a remarkably reinvigorating reaction to modern-electronic-club music.

Paul Marmota is one of the most-visible and highly-regarded producers in Mexico’s underground music scene, all this whilst having been an essential member of Mexico’s renowned NAAFI DJ collective come record label, up until his recent departure from the group. Additionally, Paul Marmota is known for his productions for the the likes of many incredible Latino artists including; Tomasa Del Real, Badgyal, Mc Bin Laden, Yogafire & Fantasy, MC Buseta, Khaled, Kaidy Cain, Yung Beef, El Mini, Fute Billete, James Manuel, Audrinix and Zonora Point.

‘Adapatacion’ from Paul Marmota bridges the gap between modern-club-music and Latin America’s rich, indigenous musical heritage with ease, whilst playfully washing the collective dance canvas clean.

Born in Russia and currently based in Argentina, Sergey Kolesov (@astrosuka) is a musical producer and performer working with several projects within local experimental and dance music scenes. He is one of the founding members, current label manager, visual artist and sound production assistant of the Buenos Aires experimental arts platform @TRRUENO.

His performances are mostly live electronic improvisations based on vocal gestures as virtual instrument control and pad operated electronic percussion. Among Kolesov’s collaborative projects are improvisation acts la_muerte, Columnas de Humo and Огромная родина.

This release is a musical production exploration based on a chaotic blend of dance music rhythmic resources, heavy vocal processing, language disfiguration and sound design.

All tracks recorded, mixed and mastered by Astrosuka.
