Timesaver is Xen Model’s third full length album and second release on the Causal Chain imprint. The 9-track LP stays true to the duo’s eccentric sound while delving into the introspective side of their productions. Club-focused head nodders “Pin Cycle”, “Face Forward”, and “Controller” accompany key tracks like “Arm’s Edge Reach” and “Grip Dial”, which channel the duo’s affinity for ambient music. “A Bright Star” spotlights a catchy guitar hook and features close collaborator 11ai. Xen Model’s signature play on halftime structure is engaged in bass-heavy cuts “Ripstream” and “Local Group”. The album comes to a close with a radio edit of their previously released track “Lurch”, which clusters the duo’s myriad styles and influences in an encapsulating statement of the Xen Model sound.

Dive into the dark, raw, and unrelenting world of Hajj with the "Repulsive Reflections Thru This Fucking Phone Remixes" EP, a complex exploration of the sinister and the introspective. This release on Bad Tips offers a striking contrast between two distinct sonic territories, encapsulating both the chaotic energy of the club and the deeper, spiritual realms of late-night introspection.

The EP opens with four explosive remixes of "Reflections on Repulsiveness," a track originally featured on Bad Tips' "Good Vibes Vol. 1." Hajj's own VIP version amplifies the hardcore and metal elements, transforming the track into a ferocious, head-banging anthem that descends into the abyss. King Doudou then takes us to the twisted streets of São Paulo, infusing the remix with nervy, repulsive funk, while Ronce delivers a corrosive, gritty interpretation that oozes with raw intensity. The duo Vina Konda & Mortal Voracity cap off the first half with a relentless mix, blending metal, bass, and Jersey influences into an indigestible yet euphoric concoction.

The second half of the EP delves into a more introspective space with four remixes of "I Tried To Tell Ya Something Thru This Fucking Phone," originally released on BFDM in 2020. Hajj's VIP reimagines the track with a darker, more nocturnal atmosphere, shifting from the original’s early morning vibes to a late-night intensity. Ukrainian producer Comechelet follows with a remix that balances progressive, militaristic rhythms with an organic, dark shimmer. Gargantuan Collapse (Gargantuan Grief x Modern Collapse) offers a raw, nihilistic take, imbued with a bleak romanticism. Toma Kami then brings the EP to a close with an abrasive yet spiritual rendition, channeling a primal sense of urgency.

This EP doesn’t shy away from experimentation, embodying the boundary-pushing ethos of Bad Tips. Though the release is rooted in a somber, pessimistic outlook, it resonates with the audacious spirit that defines the label. Available digitally and on CD via Bandcamp, this release will also be accompanied by a limited-edition T-shirt featuring artwork by tattoo artist Pepittta. To mark the occasion, a launch event will be held at Station Gare des Mines in Paris on September 21st, featuring performances from Hajj, Vina Konda & Mortal Voracity, Gargantuan Collapse (live), Ronce, Toma Kami, and label head gboi.

Hajj - I Tried To Tell Ya Something Thru This Fucking Phone (Toma Kami Remix)

++ PRESENTATION ++

Scores +°-  glyphs to sounds !

+°°+--+
Scores is a compilation exploring musical notations and how they can be interpreted as sounds. People have always tried to translate sonic expressions into visual cues that could be archived, passed down, and transformed back into music. 

From symbols to numbers, grids, staffs, figures or abstract shapes, several languages have been developed and continuously questioned to improve the ability to retain the emotion and meaning sounds can convey - what lies behind the veil.
 
What if this time, the notation would come beforehand?

+°°+--+
The project unfolded in two phases. In the first one, visual artists from the Global URL Nation could propose one sheet of music score, free of interpretation. They were invited to play with musical notations and explore what it would even mean.
–
It welcomed chaggrin, Eurrope, M4X1US, MYEN, s1m0nc3ll0 & Ziyiz for 6 sheets


+°°+--+
In the second phase, artists from GUN could pick one sheet and create a track trying to follow it as much as possible. It invited them to question music as a physical object, with its shapes, colors, textures and layers with the following :

__How is the overall composition? Are there any axis or lines that could be interpreted as a timeline or a melodic scale?
__How many discrete elements are in the image? How are they laid out?
__What are the shapes involved?  What is their scale? Do they have sharp or blurry outlines?
__What are the colors/textures used? How do they relate with each other in terms of tones, contrasts…?
__How are the different elements layered on top of each other? Are they superimposed or do they merge in some way?
__How would they translate them in musical terms, such as textures, notes, structures, timbres, rhythms, dynamics? 

It welcomed Bademjan, Baje Nunca, C+Vis, Capiuz, Clair X, C.T.A.A.M.  Ecovoron, Epiphagi, HeedLess, Mambo Kahn, migu, POL100, Yau Hei ASJ & Ziyiz for 14 tracks ranging from ethereal scorescapes to hyperstimulating scratches. Sounds and shapes weave together, blurring the boundaries between the two media to create one whole entity

+°°+--+
With Scores, we invite you to seek the music that can be hidden in our surroundings, to decrypt and hear the phantom scores one can find in every shape, every color and every little visual detail __ open your ears and see the sounds, sometimes music lies in a simple fold of clothing
