CLUB CHAI Vol. 2 is a collection of tracks by artists whose work truly embodies the Club Chai ethos that exists in storytelling through sound. As we close out the label, this release remains a lustrous perspective on the future.

Alongside the compilation, the Club Chai Archive book preorder is out today on our Bandcamp. You can preorder the book alongside the digital release of the compilation for a bundled price of $35 ($15 for the compilation and $25 for the book). [Preorder Shipping in 6-8 Weeks]

The archive book is a culmination of all the moving parts that make up Club Chai at once – a way to honor the project's complexity and intimacy. How do we remember and archive something that is really made up of a fleeting feeling? Being on the dancefloor with friends, singing in unison or zoning out in complete bliss. It feels right to create something physical that can be held, touched and encountered slowly and 
carefully. Making this book entirely with friends makes it feel even more intimate and special.

CLUB CHAI Vol. 2

CORIN — Enantiodromia (UIQ0013)

Pre-Order from our Bandcamp — https://uiqmusic.bandcamp.com/album/enantiodromia-uiq0013

Corin Ileto is a Filipina-Australian electronic producer, composer and performer working in the field of performance art, sound design, theatre and club spaces. Her productions are an assemblage of converging styles moving somewhere between IDM, grime, EBM, trance, and baroque-laden ambience.

As a composer, Ileto works across a broad spectrum ranging from video to theatre. Current projects include Justin Shoulder’s AEON†, a performance/installation work fusing Filipinx myth, puppetry and queer pageantry as ceremony (premiere Liveworks Festival 2020, Sydney Biennale 2020) and also ‘Sky Blue Mythic’ - a performance work by Angela Goh exploring dance as a non-human entity (premiere Sydney Opera House, 2021).

ENANTIODROMIA is about changing form, but not the essence. A sonic alchemy where all matter undergoes a process of sublimation. Digital metallurgy. Solids transmutate into vapor, metallic granulation and beads of elongated melody.

"I was meditating on the current world climate and came to embrace the idea of impermanence. The idea that everything is suspended and in flux - a state of constant change. When something reaches its extreme it materializes into its opposing shadow. Everything hidden comes to the fore. What comes into being must dissolve.” — Corin Ileto

1 - Enantiodromia

Cet automne, les studios Brainwaves vous présentent une aventure sans précédent...
un affrontement sensationnel opposant des héros ca-li-brés! 

JJ. Jodes (présentateur)
C’est l’heure du versus, du grand duel intergalactique qui promet coupe-bas et highpass kicks. Aux frontières du bug dans la matrice, nos lutteurs dégénérés sont plus gladiateurs que jamais, bien déterminés à faire hurler la foule et à séduire sa majesté Brian...

Rovax HQ (commentateur n°1)
Ça y est, il entre sur le ring, c’est le favori de cette soirée, la bête des trous noirs, Doom Father, le Fusor endiablé, il a plus d’un surnom à son actif... mesdames et messieurs, Lastrack! 

Dr. Step-Seuq  (commentateur n°2) 
Quelle élégance, le scientifique maniaco-dépressif a enfilé sa plus belle paire de sneakers pour l’occasion, c’est exquis… Face à lui c’est le dégoulinant Tout Casser qui se glisse dans le pentagone! Une véritable montagne de membres reptiliens... l’harmonie avec la nature n’a pas que de bons côtés.

Rovax HQ (commentateur n°1)
Je ne vous le fais pas dire, c’est ré-pu-gnant. Mais nos chers immondices reviennent de loin… C’est une véritable lutte contre l’oppression de ses proches que mène le Doom aujourd’hui, l’homme dont le gouvernement a dérobé les recherches garde un goût amer en bouche… Son fils et son épouse le regardent et le soutiennent certainement en ce moment…

Dr. Step-Seuq 
Peut-être pas! Le travail forcé ressurgit de plus belles chez ces humanoïdes à l’aube de l’extinction, c’est malheureux… L’immonde Tout Casser n’a rien à envier à cette vie de prolétaire, il se complaît dans sa médiocrité! 

Rovax HQ
C’est étonnant de voir un être aussi atroce dégager une telle douceur.

Dr. Step-Seuq 
Il serait né sur une planète verte et bleue, mais cela ne l’empêche pas de souffrir d’une rare forme d'épilepsie rythmique native, le contraignant à adopter des postures étrangement flexibles… Voyons ce que l’utopiste est capable de nous concocter!

Rovax HQ
Votre attention s’il vous plaît : le suprême Brian s’est allongé, les fidèles sont hypnotisés par leurs allures. Tout Casser se tient péniblement prêt alors que Lastrack annonce la couleur, un vert régurgité, c’est parti, le combat peut commencer!

Tenace (dogs road)

Zoë Mc Pherson - TENACE (dogs road)

Clemency presents References - her debut EP for Finn’s 2 B REAL. Three deceptively simple percussive pieces, both awkward and elegant.

Each track on the EP feels almost living and breathing; sparse, dissonant synths meet intricate drums and juddering basslines, effortlessly creating momentum and motion across the record.

‘References’ is Bethany Clements Patrick’s first EP under the Clemency alias. She’s a regular behind the decks at Partisan, Soup Kitchen & The White Hotel, and co-runs Manchester’s Mutualism club night, label & NTS show.

Using causality and repetition as a conceptual framework, the release comes with a selection of Clemency’s own references for the record, which includes poetry, literature, geographic coordinates, music and cosmetics - presented at clemencyreferenc.es

2016 - 2021 • clubchai.bandcamp.com 
CLUB CHAI is a record label, event series and curatorial project founded by 8ULENTINA and Lara Sarkissian (fka FOOZOOL) in Oakland, California. CLUB CHAI centers diasporic artists with the intention of carving out sounds and spaces that consider the ways we build narratives as a reflection of our current and future selves. We believe in the transformative abilities of storytelling through sound and honoring its creation of genres and movements for marginalized people throughout the history of electronic music. Through our label releases and projects we hope to contribute to this archive and history.
CLUB CHAI hosted regular events in Oakland and San Francisco while participating in an international network of artists and collaborators. CLUB CHAI held showcases in New York City and London, and have also presented at Unsound Festival Krakow (2019), Mexico City, Milan, and a UK tour in collaboration with TT label. The label hosted shows and streams on NTS radio, Rinse FM, Lower Grand Radio, and Boiler Room.
