Xing presents the artist record MARTELLATE. SCRITTI FIGHI 1990-2020. LYDIA MANCINELLI LEGGE MARCELLO MALOBERTI (HAMMERINGS. COOL WRITINGS 1990-2020. LYDIA MANCINELLI READS MARCELLO MALOBERTI), second release of the XONG series.

Italian actress Lydia Mancinelli, stage and life partner of the avant-guard author Carmelo Bene, reads the “written voices” of MARTELLATE,  a collection of impulsive written fragments by the visual artist Marcello Maloberti. The release is on white vinyl, in a limited and numbered edition, along with a series of collector's editions, with handwritten covers by Maloberti.
 
MARTELLATE. SCRITTI FIGHI 1990-2020 is a collection of the writings, in the form of slogans, which have accompanied Marcello Maloberti in almost thirty years of poetics. These epigraphs that range from poetry to irony, to the use of the spoken word, in a constant succession of moods and formal tones, represent the primordial moment of the artist's work, the most instinctive and sincere, in an open relationship with the reality that surrounds him. A self-portrait to be shared, a collective mirror, which is generated in the succession of written thoughts that burst onto the blank page: direct, frontal, cheeky. They stay and “hammer” your head. Each one is a curtain that opens.
“Having Lydia Mancinelli read these sentences is a kind of dream. Her ancient voice takes us back to Carmelo Bene's theater and these slogans - between the philosophical and the everyday - seem elevated to a royal status by her dismembered voice in the air.” Her reading is a minimalist, almost infinite rain of sentences. It results in a moment of suspension, an estrangement, as if we were on an invisible stage. 
 
Xong is the name of the new collection produced by Xing, a vinyl-only record label of works by both Italian and international personalities linked to the variegated worlds of live performativity. The collection explores a geography of artists who present this sonic field as a platform to expand their staged worlds. "The space of the record" is given focus and amplifies their poetics as both a sonic and physical phenomenon.
Xong is a unique project that draws out divergent understandings of the performative and live arts, beyond genre and intersecting between different practices. Xong collects a series of original creations that constitute an expanded program. Each physical record is a numbered edition on white vinyl hosting the solidification of the gesture. A wave upon wave, a series of "Music-Non-Music" to actualize both the artists and listeners imagination.

02 - Wheel Of Stagnation

tamatsubaki

 Amazing techno and nothing for weak nerves. Monya starts her own label Corresponding Positions with a belter of an ep. Nothing less then two originals produced by herself plus remixes by Perc and Bas Mooy. While the title track &gt;Steine Im WegVerweht&lt; is more about the atmosphere and depth of sounds. Perc and Bas Mooy both reworked the second track and definitely added a lot of raw power to this piece of vinyl. Its an authentic and varied 4 tracker which will for sure find ist way to plenty of record cases and triggers our curiosity for what Correspondign Positions will come up with in the future. Mastering by Dubit, Soluxion Lab Berlin.&#13;

Donato Dozzy played an immaculate, mind-bending two hours of ambient, hip-hop, acid, techno, drum & bass and lots more at our Alternate Cuts party in Manchester with Absolut and Meat Free.

Alternate Cuts: Donato Dozzy (No Boundaries Set)

The first installment in a new quarterly series dedicated to field recording and inspired by our love of tape culture.  

Giovanni Lami has made a name for himself through rigorous artistic exploration of the material and conceptual properties of magnetic tape. Here he presents selections from 15 artists whose practice is oriented around the use of tape as an instrument, while also integrating live field recordings, both from the sounds produced from his manipulation of the tape players, and also from the sounds outside his window.

Inverted Microphones #1: Giovanni Lami's Tapeocracy

"It starts with Abdullah Ibrahim 'Ishmael', an alternative take, more spare than the official one somehow, from the record Banyana, 1976. I'm obsessed with that bassline, that's why it lasts that long, I really feel it necessary. After there's Laksa's new track from his upcoming EP on Timedance, wonderful production, it follows one of my all time favs, Mim Suleiman produced by Maurice Fulton, a track my girlfriend Jackie usually spin in her sets - let’s take it as a special dedication to her.

PML Beatz follows, fresh from the Prinicipe squad and then BFTT, one of my new fav young producers, Slikback, with a bumping unreleased (I guess) track, DJ Firmeza, a genius, Blawan, another genius fading into my brother Rey Sapienz, author of one of the most incredible debuts of last year (on Hakuna Kulala), then Minor Science's remix of Special Request - an incredible track with an incredible climax that I decide to kill in order to add some more rhythm deviance: The Modern Institute, love them to the bone, love them so much I speeded up this demo they sent me some months ago for my set at Boiler Room Lisbon, I finally managed to destroy it (LOL), Hassan Abou Alam with his sort of lo-fi high-nrg and then HPRIZM, because I loved Antipop Consortium and it's good to remember them, then a snippet from the new Muqata'a LP on Hundebiss.

Then the mix is taking a little break.

For obvious reasons, I’m a bit moody these days and I didn’t want to make a "constant energy" mix, it's not the time for that and I feel I wanted some space for the head.

I restart with Piezo, from his upcoming LP on Hundebiss, an incredible dubby jam, then Lamin's Raffia Arms mixed with an old school Pan Sonic track (from Altopirii, one of the most crucial album of my life), Ghost is coming up from the valley of death to sing his song on the legendary Acid Hall Riddim, Robert Hood is jamming on top, Fernando Falcao join the jam and then I'm done.

I finish the mix with Ain't No Grave, a blues collage from Ekkehard Ehlers, I feel it is so in tune with the reality we are leaving.

Then, mandatory, Underground by The Upsetters.

And to finish for real, a little skit from The Upsetter himself, Lee Scratch Perry, a recording we did in the car when he was coming to Vernasca, my hometown."
