2. Kyyberwall - Gil Boy Son

Artist: IN THE SUN
Album: Dawn
Format: Digital / Tape
Cat.No: CHI049
Master: IN THE SUN
Artwork: Saphy Vong
Release Date: 24.09.24

Pounding traditional drums and grinding synths herald Dawn, the new album from post-industrial Tokyo duo IN THE SUN, their first release on Chinabot.

Dawn was inspired by the musical traditions and wild mountain landscapes of composer TIDEPOOL’s childhood in rural Japan. Layers of ethereal synthesizers and wailing saxophones by Kim Pueru evoke the mist and granite of mountains are beaten with rhythms that hit like shattering rocks.

The record “embodies a fusion of synthetic and percussive elements, evoking both mysticism and raw energy,” says TIDEPOOL. “The juxtaposition of dystopian undertones and the resilience of nature serves as a thematic backdrop, reflecting on societal shifts and personal introspection.”

Dawn’s instrumentation may be inspired by Japanese taiko drums and African percussion, but it remains extremely contemporary, with swirling rhythms of singeli, juke, footwork, gabber, and minimal to create an evil cacophony. The album also nods to the GORGE movement, which is experiencing a resurgence in Japan.

TIDEPOOL describes the record as an “epic poem.” This is evident on Twilight, where urgent synths and nimble per- cussion makes you wonder what Akira would have looked like set in on a mountain range instead of in Tokyo.

On Voidance, bells, drums and saxophone are whipped up onto a violent stormwhich builds and crashes repeatedly, a powerful statement of intent from one of Tokyo’s most exciting contemporary acts.

About IN THE SUN:

Organized by TIDEPOOL since 2011, IN THE SUN has a fluid lineup, with Kim Pueru joining on tenor saxophone for Dawn. TIDEPOOL utilizes ethnic drums, synthesizers, and laptops and is influenced and inspired by artists such as Haruomi Hosono, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Throbbing Gristle, Geinoh Yamashirogumi, CAN, among others.
They supported Baltimore duo Matmos during their Japan tour and organized the party known as “RAW TEMPO” at Bushbash.

2HC is an experimental musical project conceived by Irene Di Rosa and Manuele Milani, born from a shared passion for pushing sonic boundaries. The duo ventures into sharp auditory territories, weaving industrial soundscapes with raw, hardcore elements. The project’s essence lies in its ability to blur the lines between structured rhythms and chaotic, freeform expressions. 2HC's sound is deeply rooted in industrial music's gritty, mechanical tones, but it doesn't stop there. They dive headfirst into the heavy, aggressive energy of hardcore, creating an intense listening experience that is both immersive and challenging.

What sets 2HC apart is their embrace of deconstructed post-club aesthetics. They dismantle traditional club music tropes, stripping away predictable patterns and replacing them with a sense of fluidity and unpredictability. The usual constraints of BPM do not confine their mixes, instead, they flow organically, morphing and evolving in unexpected ways. This approach results in a sound that feels like a living, breathing entity—shapeless yet cohesive, chaotic yet deliberate. We hope you enjoy 2HC's contribution to our GUESTMIX series reaching today its 97th episode!

Yasmine Des Astres - La Forêt Des Amates 
Cat. Nr: DN029
Format: Digital
Release Date: October 11, 2024
Buy / stream: dansenoire.ffm.to/YasmineDesAstres 

La Forêt des Amantes was born in a daydream. “At night, under the shining moon of silver, I ran in a forest with the one I love,” describes experimental artist Yasmine des Astres. Arriving at music by necessity, rather than by intention, Yasmine des Astres arranges her voice, live instrumentation and synthesis into cinematic assemblage, drawing as much from filmmaker Philippe Grandrieux, philosopher Georges Bataille and Sufi mystics like Ibn Arabi, Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi and Mansour al-Hallaj, as she does any particular sound. 

Despite this, the artist remains fiercely opposed to overly academic approaches to her art. Entirely self-taught, her DIY practice emerges as the consolidation of years of personal discovery. Dropping out of school at 15, suffering severe social anxiety, the artist took solace in her mother’s rap cassettes, instilling in her a love for hip hop instrumentals. Before long she was digging for samples online to make her own beats. At the age of 16 she discovered the transcendent Gnosticism of Sun Ra, which shifted her entire worldview forever. However it was the artist’s love of cinema, in particular the films of Robert Bresson, that truly taught her what it means to be an artist. Bresson’s legendary text ‘Notes On The Cinematograph’ helped Yasmine des Astres construct a vision of art with which she could connect her sensations to her emotions. 

Specifically, the image of running through a forest at night kept returning to her, a vision she initially understood as a need for freedom, but which gradually developed into a deeper, more intense understanding. Chasing “desire as a liberating and enlightening force,” her dream of liberation became one of sexual exploration and self destruction, while La Forêt des Amantes grew into The Forest of Lesbian Lovers. “It is a dream made out of my lesbian devotion,” the artist asserts. “A desire to annihilate myself through the lesbian I would love.” Citing kindred spirit Obsequeen and Japanese experimental noise rock oddities Les Rallizes Dénudés as sonic influences, with La Forêt des Amantes Yasmine des Astres picks her way through an expansive sonic terrain of effects-laden vocals and off-kilter electronics. 
 “The album is about yearning,” she explains. “The forest doesn’t exist, it is not a forest we know. It is an absence. An absence of civilization, an absence of politics, just two lesbians and the universe around them.”
