MEGANESIA w. JJ OKOCHA (Recorded Live @ Sunburn UTE Muster) - 21 April 2023

Test subject 1.28 @nelly_dj wades through the shadow and gloom of the undercroft, pushing against thick wreathing darkness like a beacon keeping shades at bay and lighting the way for those to follow.

“​​The artwork evoked a certain eerie atmosphere and I instantly knew what kind of mix I wanted to create. The image contained certain details like patterns and colours that reminded me of some tracks I had in my collection. With these tracks from my archive combined with fresh new productions from my favourite producers, I created a new trip. There are dark and heavy tones in it but with bright points. Think of it as a long walk through a gloomy cave which ends in a beautiful serene forest valley (and yes, of course, filled with fairies 🙂 🧚🏼‍♂️🧚🏼)”

Manifestation // Nelly

A wormhole of atmospheric particles is opening a vast universe across multiple dimensions, dispersing in a paranoid repetition of self-committed hoaxes. @celestial111 explores the unknown, an inner space of psychedelic athmospheres that suddenly materialize into peaktime looped structures. Worthy of the attention of @area127, @evolv3events and @minuteuf, Ryan maintains his base in the UK as his sound continues to reach audiences overseas.

Absorb is proud to present ‘Thought Makes Music’, the highly anticipated long-player by gi, solo moniker of unbridled musician, performer, and lyricist Gigi De Lacy (Optic Nerve).

'Thought Makes Music' is gi’s farthest-reaching work, a conclusive vision that follows a succession of revered sketches and short-form releases on labels such as Altered States Tapes (AUS) and Beyond the Bridge (ROK). So far her work sits on the outer limits of what can be considered “dance music”, and at full-length, its singular and immersive quality is glaring. Here, gi’s familiar spacious sound design and metallic IDM percussion is refined by an intertidal palette and restrained songwriting parameters. Given a larger canvas, gi works with increasingly blurred, distorted and feedbacking sounds, enclosed by asynchronous rhythms, bent and then snapped back into grid; the album reveals its musicality in moments of overlap, where everything happens at once.

Across eight tracks, listeners find electronic music that is less concerned with narrative so much as with landscape. gi habitually uses a set of recurring samples, melodies and drums to create the murky atmosphere that permeates the record. Instances of repetition, like a re-used drum break across 'laces', 'coil' & 'rapture' reveal a practice that is constantly rearranging itself via generative drum programming and resampled modulation. This impulse for repetition snowballs into a prominent exploration into feedback on this release. From the warping harmonies on 'feedback'; screeching textures on 'rapture'; and the metronomic jolts of frequency on 'morning' and 'knots', we hear gi’s fascination with “failed” methods of capture, nodding to her history with DIY, punk and hardcore scenes in so-called Australia. Exploring “blown out” re-recorded musical qualities for the first time under the gi alias, we find overtures of amplified noise bleed into otherwise crisp arrangements.

Allowing discreet reference-points to blur, new tonal profiles and distorted intensities arise for gi. 'Thought Makes Music' draws connections with the world around it, following rolling moments of feeling. gi presents her debut confidently, but the sound remains curious, playful & protective of itself; it answers no questions.
