Instinctual Motion 023

Joey Anderson remains committed to the deep rooted sensibilities of House music, it's very much in his DNA - drawing upon influences from the underground of New York city. Over the years he has released some of the most influential records in the genre - EP's on the likes of Latency, Syncrophone Recordings and Deconstruct - albums on the likes of Dekmantel and Avenue 66.

This month marks the release of a new album on Deeptrax.

His sound has always been cemented in a deep, philosophical energy. It's music as much for listening, ambience and mood as it is the dancefloor.

Over the years his music has gone on to reach critical acclaim and gained international recognition but it is his home city and the origins of the musical culture from which he draws strength, not the hype or social media circus.

Not one to dabble in eccentricities his music is stripped back, utilising uniquely programmed machinery to create delicate textures and weird dusty tones which often lead to a unique transcendence.

Joey is an artist we've been keen to feature in this series for a long time now and the result is just as special as we could have imagined...

A3. Gesloten Cirkel - A Better House

Release date : February 16th
Pre-order : gridrecords.bandcamp.com/album/contrast-ep

Grid kick off 2024 with Contrast EP, a mesmerising collection of future-facing tracks from certified one-to-watch Plebeian (@plebeiann). The NYC producer is quickly garnering deserved attention for his acutely detailed and explorative bass productions reminiscent of Objekt and Djrum.

With his EP Plebeian offers up four shimmering and lush dance organisms that exist in an ecosystem entirely of their own. Microscopic drum engineering coupled with flourishes of dubbed out percussion, moments of blissful beauty and infinitely oscillating synth swells, all distilled to create 4D soundscapes that will captivate and intrigue the listener.

Contrast EP

Plebeian - Contrast EP [GRID012] previews

“For Barney, Who Was A Bad Dog, But A Good Boy, And Very Much Loved” comes from Brooklyn-based Dekalb Works, the collaborative project of Austin Peru (Vision Fortune) & Daniel Creahan (Sweat Equity / Alien D). The record, out April 12 on 29 Speedway, summarizes a series of experimentations between live performance contexts and sample-heavy collage work. Since starting their residency on Radio alHara, Dekalb Works found themselves drawn to the act of performing, whether as a live act or DJing, and the space between these two often overly rigid modes.

“For Barney…” draws heavily on the sonic palette of American country and western music, treated through the lens of heavy studio processing and the production techniques of dub, ambient, and trip-hop. Recording hours-long live improvisations with guitar, piano, or drum machines and samplers, they pillaged these sessions as source material. Whereas previous work focused on the voice and the interaction of text, voice and music, these recordings pulled from the sounds of musicians playing together in a room. The arrangement process remains the same, chopping and manipulating small samples and momentary gestures into dense, rhythmic collages.

JSR031024v2  34

Chinese multidisciplinary artist Tianzhuo Chen, aka ASIAN DOPE BOYS, joins forces with Berlin-based musician Alex Wang for the 17th episode of Kuboraum’s Digital Sound Residency, unveiling ‘Burning Sage’—a dystopian blend of noise, nu-metal, and sci-fi-infused sound fragments.

Tianzhuo Chen, a.k.a AsianDopeBoys, has never known how to define himself. As an artist who engages with various 'happenings' of liminality, he enjoys crashing, merging, infusing, mutating, teasing, substituting, and playing with boundaries. More accurately, he (re-)invents boundaries and then destroys them. Trained as a swimmer, Tianzhuo is drawn to the undercurrents of existence and the benthic fables of life and death, often finding himself adrift in the tectonic wonders of unknown lands. To explore such tantric knowledge and the obscure wisdom of the unknown, he observes, draws, collects, crafts, installs, edits, interweaves, creates, mixes, and remixes, all in an attempt to sense, capture, and share the fleeting beauty of life, which is nothing less than magic and ecstasy.

Selected solo exhibitions to date include Illuminated Spirits at TANK Shanghai, The Shepherd at Kyoto Experiment and Trance at M Woods Museum in Beijing. Following a delay of several years, his ambitious 12-hour theatrical piece TRANCE – realized with an international ensemble – has premiered at leading performance venues worldwide, including at the Sonic Acts Biennial 2024. 
His latest piece, Ocean Cage, was premiered in Berlin’s Hebbel Am Ufer and is being perfomed in major venues worldwide like Kyoto Experiment, Tanzhaus Dusseldorf, Arsenic Lausanne and Kampnagel Hamburg.

Alex Wang is a Berlin-based musician hailing from one of the coldest regions of China. His work is deeply influenced by the harsh natural environment of his hometown and his early training in classical and electronic music. This peculiar combination has sparked his fascination with the "deafening illusion"—an explosive blend of bass and noise that surprises with sudden shifts, constantly pushing the boundaries of soundscapes through ongoing exploration.

‘Burning Sage’ will be available to download by subscribing to Kuboraum Berlin News.

Caprices de Novembre

Bookworms - Xenophobe LP (snippets) BNK002

McMarian - duo from Cracow (Poland) formed in 1986 and suspended in 1989. Main members was Piotr Kalinowski and Marcin Bednarski (Wahehe, O.N.G.O., Biomodem, Elektrostat, Subotnick), supported by Piotr "Peter" (tapes, effects, noise) and Marcin "Marski" (sounds, rhythm, noise). Mostly session project, played only a few gigs (Gdansk, Warsaw).

Guest musicians: Ojciec (Wahehe) - guitar, Franz Dreadhunter (Düpą) - bass, Prezes (Id) - bass, Nodzeń - bass. 

McMarian was inspired with music forms created by early Cabaret Voltaire, The Residents, Throbbing Gristle, Criss & Cosey, S.P.K. and D.A.F. Two homemade analogue synthesizers constructed by Piotr himself were the fundamental part of all his musical instruments. One of them was a sort of mixture of a sound generator, a sequencer and a drum machine. The soundscape was filled by loops (short glued together bits of the magnetic tape) as well as electronic and acoustic instruments. 

Official discography: 

V/A "Cienie" (1988, Henryk Palczewski, Poland & USA) 
V/A "Polish Road" (1989, Organic Tapes, France).
Marian Wyjechał (Give Noise A Chance) (2010, Impulsy Stetoskopu (3xCDr)
