Descendants w. Chris Mitchell [15.03.2021]

Pre-order : https://ar-fm.bandcamp.com/album/stakhanov
Release date: June 2, 2021

One year and a half after Jaroska’s ’Red Room Offering’ release, Lyon-based AR/FM label is back with the fourth imprint of its catalog, due for June 2021.
Following the label’s aim of exploring a widened techno spectrum while working with and promoting unsung talented friends, AR/FM is about to provide another beautiful piece of music, this time from ephemeral trio Stakhanov.

This eponymous LP offers 55 minutes of dense, fluctuant electronic experimentations, taking inspirations in the relentless Soviet worker myth. Its frantic and industrial overall atmosphere, set by sharp yet harsh paces, is eventually pulled to pieces by murky and hallucinated ambient acts, depicting a way darker story than the one told by the USSR propaganda.  
Thus, one rhetorical question remains: Could this unhealthy man-a-machine glorification come to any different end than madness?

Based upon Hugo Charpentier’s drawings, that can be found both on inner and outer sleeves, the 7-track album definitely takes advantage of its visual dimension, resulting in an elegant double-12” black-&-white gatefold layout. 

Releasing Stakhanov was also for AR/FM a way to pay tribute to the golden era of Lyon alternative electronic scene around 2013-2016, of which the project-members were three of the many faces. 
Through their different collectives and labels (CLFT Militia, SILO, Palma…) amongst others, all the instigators of this creative craze considerably contributed to the constitution of a new generation of Lyon-scene protagonists, AR/FM being one of them.

Don’t be surprised when Mayo delivers some straight punches. She weaves EBM, techno and experimental electronics into a mesmerising entity, whilst never losing her punk attitude along the way. Get ready for sub heavy gritty, grainy sounds straight from the heart.

Piet Møbler [ https://soundcloud.com/shiftedgrounds ]

Piet Møbler is the moniker of a Zurich based artist, traditionally busy in various roles of the local electronic music scene, meanwhile contemplating about the impermanence of those very same occupations. Yet, his love for dance music is stronger than ever. 
His intention behind this mix was to find a worthy place for music that he has accumulated over the last year but could not really process yet.
Piet has been fostering wildly inventive club music with his regular Shifted series at https://soundcloud.com/kraftfeld in his hometown Winterthur.
