Record label and collective femme culture return after a year off the grid with a new look and a fresh new compilation in aid of U.N. Women’s Safe Spaces Now. HeForShe x femme culture Vol. 4 brings the label’s charity series into its fifth year and enlists a who’s who of
rising stars across the electronic spectrum.

Featuring artists from three continents and with sonics spanning across UK bass, euphoric vocal-driven banger and leftfield techno, HeForShe x femme culture Vol. 4 demonstrates the breadth of the London label’s uncompromising style.

Funds raised by HeForShe Vol. 4 will be donated to UN Women and will be split equally between their Safe Spaces Now programme (which looks to create safe public spaces for all women and girls) and their Ukrainian relief efforts - delivering on the ground for women and those at risk.

“'G Star RAWR' is the story of Hot Roy Summer™️
I’m feeling inspired by the sun and by feeling warm. Being close to people is the ultimate sense of warmth. Pick up those new jeans and treat y'self. Be kind to you & be kind to others :)” -Roy Mills

@Awo_Ojiji underground export from the @Disko404 crew in the Austrian city Graz, has been a quiet favourite since catching an emergent release early on in Ronan's Eternal Ocean label. A scattering of releases hence lead to his 'Solidify' white label for London's @ControlFreakRecordings.

Simon Hafner aka Sun People is well known to fans of fast tempos, having released music on labels such as @exitrecords @rua_sound and @through_these_eyes. Hafner presents a wide range of music and guest mixes on his monthly Sub FM radio show and is also releasing music and doing A&R for the label @defrostatica.

His latest cassette on the Guides label, titled Joyful Discontent, is a tribute to minimalism, referencing the works of Frank Bretschneider and Mark Fell. The starting point for this release was a JMT VDR-1 drum synthesizer, characterised by its intuitive aspects, its limited sonic capacities and the challenge to stretch the machine's possibilities. This one instrument informs the structure of the album, fixed in tempo, track and total length. Reducing his tools to a bare minimum, Hafner explicitly refers to specific genre traditions inherent in this radical form. Structurally and sonically, the spirit of clicks & cuts (e.g., Komet’s ‘Rausch’) can be heard, as well as influences from dub, ambient and minimalist drum&bass and footwork.

In his thinking, however, Hafner goes further. The idea of interlocking all the pieces, complementing the overall grid of constraints, provides the frame for a playful exploration. The result was also fuelled by intuitiveaction, such as when a single gesture and decision changes the direction of a process that takes place in real time. When composing, despite the track’s live act structure, he produced recordings that could function as parts of a jigsaw puzzle that can berearranged freely in any order, thus opening the way for a reinterpretation of the whole. This is also why the album will be available in two versions, both as a mix of combined tracks, and as eight individual pieces that make up the whole.

Despite so many formal constraints, Joyful Discontent still sounds accessible. The pieces produced by Hafner move in the direction of Mark Fell’s compositional approaches, where music is devoid of evoking emotion, rather, aiming for a neutral and non-imposing environment for the listener. 

(with the kind support of the city of Graz)

This release is also available on the artist's bandcamp page. If you want to support him directly, I encourage you to do so.
