POINTLESS GEOMETRY 2023 / POINT#53

Music by Damian Kowalski / https://www.instagram.com/ski_._._
Recorded in RUDAX (Toruń) / December 2022
Mastered and mix by Szymon Szwarc /  https://szszwarc.pl
Artwork by Sebastian Milewski / https://www.instagram.com/cest_beau_

Formed in 2022, Damian Kowalski's solo project, SKI, has evolved from its initial afrojazz roots into minimalist, intensely amplified arrangements with subtle modulations. Ideas that were originally part of a larger musical landscape in collaborations with other musicians or bands (such as KKZ and Rozwód) have developed enough to serve as the foundation for independent compositions. A pivotal moment came with the recording of the first material, soon to be released on Pointless Geometry, where danceability meets rough-textured distortion, and uncompromising creativity ensures the audience remains engaged. The production process, focused on capturing the organic aspect of playing an amplified drum kit - without metronomes and overdubs - has yielded material captivating in its simplicity and expression, echoing the UK bass, UK dub, footwork, and techno scenes. While there are many influences, SKI's proposal appears highly direct and fresh, devoid of pretentiousness, focusing on groove and the feedback relationship with rhythm itself. 

Live premiere of the album  will happen during Unsound festival 2023

Having safely navigated a change of country, Citizens Of Vice is now fully settled into its new hideout. The mountain ranges of the Jura and Alps are behind us, replaced by the wild beauty of the Yorkshire Moors. But enough about scenery — let’s get back to what we do best: music. And next up...

If you caught Sean Johnston’s recent ALFOS compilation, you’ll already know the name Bal5000, whose stunning track ‘Bleu Infini’ left a lasting impression. Bal5000 has also released on esteemed labels such as Dirt Crew Recordings and Emotional Especial.

We’re now thrilled to announce his latest release, The Lake — a shimmering new cut that dives even deeper into his genre hopping sound. Alongside the title track are ‘Untitled Acid’ and ‘Untitled Electro’. As their names suggest, they explore acid and electro-infused vibes, all within the ever-evolving Citizens Of Vice sonic ethos.

On remix duties, our long-term collaborator — and one of our absolute favourites — Pete Herbert (Music For Swimming Pools) delivers not one but two stellar reworks, each infused with his unmistakable style.

If you are liking please support via socials, radio shows, and events.

Please reply direct for further info and press / premiere requests.

Release date: Sept 5 Juno Exc / Sept 12 th all over stores.
