Man Rei - Where the Opaqueness Begins

@dorisdana
@second-end-rec

If it appeared right before you, just for a second, would you either walk this fleeting path or let it vanish in a blink, hidden forever beyond the fine lining of your eyelid? Taking the road to nowhere can be tempting, just as the urge to leave everything behind. Paradoxically, embracing the void feels so fulfilling - but isn’t acceptance part of the grief? We’re all searching for our own secret place, where inner peace could finally grow from its embryonic stasis.

Much like that uncertain trail, Second End Records charts a course through the soft, dreamy side of contemporary electronic music with its upcoming 'Collage' compilation. Designed either for the club or a living room, this ethereal patchwork of 14 tracks is woven from silk-like sound design: ambient, techno, experimental, IDM, atmospheric dub - each genre highlighting in turns ultra-stretched audio spectrums, smooth instrumental lines, introspective reverberations or digital breaks. An astonishing line-up, composed of andrea_andrea, Box5ive, Cotton Mouth, Doris Dana & Angelina Nonaj, emre girginkay, Genus Aix, innerinnerlife, Intertoto, ϙue x Comechelet, Lucas Dupuy, Match Fixer, so wet’s water kingdom, Takeo.K and Whylie.

With this new imprint, Second End Records further informs its signature sound: cold-yet-heartwarming textures, celestial synths and volatile rhythms. Chase away the clouds and bask in the sunny spell of “Collage”, available both in CD and digital formats, starting 6 December, 2024.

co:clear is overjoyed to welcome Jonnnah to its fold, with a new long-form 12” edition. Featuring Pavel Milyakov (aka Buttechno) right off the bat, ‘Me, With You’ is an album that grips its listener tight with gleaming electronica, off-kilter trip-hop and swampy bass.

With past offerings to Soleil Rouge and Second End Records – a label which he heads – there's a thread that laces all of Jonnnah’s work. Although never sticking to a definable bracket, the Lyon-dweller effortlessly floats through various tempers, peddling impeccable electronics as equally suited to colossal sound systems, as they are to solitary early morning walks in headphones. It's ambient for the foreground that surprises with flurries of two-step and amen breaks – present-day sonics that doff their cap to what’s come before.

@karisa-correa - 'cold metal, heavy mind' is part of Gravity Pleasure's inaugural release, Water Bodies: a rippling compilation of FLINTA* artists and collaborators that invites listeners into an aqueous paraworld.

Across 21 tracks, Water Bodies spans a post-genre miasma of ethereal mermaid music, cathartic flows, and glistening sibilants ~ each one an exquisite message-in-a-bottle of deep diving emotionality. Pulling from a wide-range of musical perspectives ~ field recording, lovesick ballads, shimmering downtempo, post-party comedown, and percolating ambient ~ the compilation contains multitudes yet maintains deep sentimental coherence. Like a wave crashing in slow motion, it sonifies possible ways of being, insisting on the porous, the interdependent, and the deep and unruly. Water Bodies reminds us that home is a body made of water, to which we all belong.

~~*~~

Home is a body made of water.
Remember.

Close eyes.
Listen to drips; hear voices.
What do they tell you?
Make your body a grotto.
What does it hold?

Spider’s tapestry: flycatcher.
Roadmap: net of sinews.
Lost in night forest: seek breadcrumbs.
Remember?
Body is lighthouse: shine through cloud canopy.
Body is fish: wet is all you know.

Sink deep, fly high,
stretch your arpeggio from young to old.
Remember.

It's all so ominous. A horizon most doomed. A present most effed, a future more than most effed than most and even more than most could've effing considered. Ah well. It's well. All's well for now, and even in the future. Retroactively, even. Because. Because? Igor Dyachenko's 'Receiver', featuring mu tate, forthcoming on appendix.files, premiered by Madjestic Kasual. A balm most soothing, and ointment for woes of now and those to come and those that were. Smear.
