Following a digital art renaissance, deconstructed-club tape on Lobster Theremin earlier in the year, and following their debut Berghain performance and Rinse FM Culture vs Reality residency, Overthinker Mob founder Bloomfeld readies six cuts of heavy-duty science techno and grime-laced fuck-step on Breaks N Pieces.

Whilst the Berlin based producers full length dealt with themes of live-action roleplay and anti-ego aesthetics, Probe Report 1 keeps its aim firmly fixated on the club experience. ‘Countdown Now’ is a mutated sequence of broken UK techno; wobbling, bleeping and wubbing its way through off-kilter percussion, icey synths and brooding bass. ‘U Damaged’ makes use of half-time percussive patterns and distorted bass on something that sits between dubstep and North African techno.

‘Window Matrix’ sounds not unlike the sounds emerging from Woozy Soundsystem in Dublin – again striking a delicate balance between 140BPM sound and future-facing techno – before we enter 140 territory entirely with a frightening soundboy grime-dub hybrid.

‘Phonk Off’ brings the tempo down a notch but maintains the high levels of energy thanks to its Pulse X-esque bass stabs and Walton-like textures, before the experimental music-box grime rhythms of ‘Glockk’ brings Bloomfeld’s melting and distinct experience to a close.

Planet Mu are very excited to announce Jlin's long awaited second album “Black Origami”. A percussion-led tour de force, it's a creation that seals her reputation as a unique producer with an exceptional ability to make riveting rhythmic music.

“Black Origami” is driven by a deep creative thirst which she describes as “this driving feeling that I wanted to do something different, something that challenged me to my core. Black Origami for me, comes from letting go creatively, creating with no boundaries. The simple definition of origami is the art of folding and constructing paper into a beautiful, yet complex design. Composing music for me is like origami, only I'm replacing paper with sound. I chose to title the album "Black Origami" because like "Dark Energy" I still create from the beauty of darkness and blackness. The willingness to go into the hardest places within myself to create for me means that I can touch the Infinity.” 

Spirituality and movement are both at the core of “Black Origami”, inspired largely by her ongoing collaborations with Indian dancer/movement artist Avril Stormy Unger whom she met and collaborated with at her debut performance for the Unsound festival – ”There is a fine line between me entertaining a person and my spirituality. Avril, who collaborates with me by means of dance, feels the exact same way. Movement played a great role in Black Origami. The track "Carbon 7" is very inspired by the way Avril moves and dances. Our rhythms are so in sync at times it kind of scares us. When there is something I can't quite figure out when it comes to my production, it’s like she senses it. Her response to me is always "You'll figure it out". Once I figure it out it's like time and space no longer exist.” 

Similar time shifting/folding/disrupting effects can be heard throughout the record – especially on “Holy Child” an unlikely collaboration with minimalist legend William Basinski. She also collaborates again with Holly Herndon on “1%”, while Halcyon Veil producer Fawkes' voice is on “Calcination“ and Cape Town rapper Dope Saint Jude provides vocals for “Never Created, Never Destroyed“.

Jlin will be touring extensively this year and is currently lining up appearances including Sonar festival. She also has plans to collaborate with acclaimed UK choreographer Wayne McGregor who played her music recently on Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs and described her music as “quite rare and so exciting”.

*** Historical background ***
In 1991 RePhleX records introduced the concept of 'Braindance' to label the music they release.
Often people equate Braindance and IDM. That is completely wrong. Braindance is More than IDM.
IDM is a style of electronic music, and Braindance isn't one.
Braindance is NOT a limp and lifeless set of sounds like 97% of everything that industry produces. It is the Music! A sound that contains feelings, emotions and inspiration!

Here is the text posted on the Rephlex website in the 90's:
"braindance is the genre that encompasses the best elements of all genres, e.g traditional, classical, electronic music, popular, modern, industrial, ambient, hip hop, electro, house, techno, breakbeat, hardcore, ragga, garage, drum and bass, etc.

BRAINDANCE is...
extraordinary!
fulfilling!
entertaining!
open-minded!
original!
creative!
unpredictable!
sincere!
influential!
highly-acclaimed!
BRAINDANCE is...
unique : )"

And here is the later version:
"braindance is... incredible!
braindance is... boundless; eclectic; entertaining; rephreshing; fulfilling; wholehearted; sensual;
stimulating; bold; unconventional; real; imaginary; visionary; essential; debonair...
braindance is unique!"
