Released on April 29th, 2022

Last year, Kenyan sound artist Joseph Kamaru (aka KMRU) and French digital alchemist Niamké Désiré (aka Aho Ssan) were invited by Berlin Atonal to collaborate on a project for the festival's Metabolic Rift edition.

The duo had already been working together, but the offer provided the momentum to shift the conversation into another gear. Initially, they looked for thematic connections within their individual practices that might match Kamaru's meditative soundscapes with Désiré's crumbling cyberpunk expressionism, and surprisingly for two artists renowned for their grasp of minimalism, it was the opposite that drew their attention. Watching the world shift as it reacted to the spiraling pandemic, Kamaru and Désiré were moved to experiment with volume, physicality, and intense emotionality.

“I never made something so extreme," Désiré says of the duo's first recording, 2021's 'Ruined Abstractions', an extended composition that matches dense, powerful low-end drones with fractal digital fuzz and smokestack bruit. It set the mood for a back-and-forth that resulted in their seismic debut full-length, "Limen", described by the two acclaimed artists as an attempt to scrutinize the yin and yang of destruction and creation.

Cacophonous, concrete crunches fanfare the album's opening piece 'Resurgence' - the result of their Berlin Atonal commission - but the track refuses to languish in wrecking ball devastation. Instead, powerful synthesized harmonies ring from beneath the rubble, before stifling everything in a humid fuzz of dense, emotionally-charged cinematic electronics.

Influenced by the prescient post-apocalyptic mood of Katsuhiro Otomo's "Akira" and the mythological phoenix, an immortal bird said to be reborn from the ashes of its dying predecessor, "Limen" is an album that sonically snapshots the anxious, floral beauty of an explosion or the colorful intensity of a raging fire. It's rooted in concepts of duality - the idea something unsettling can be viewed from a different angle and re-interpreted.

On the album's epic, 21-minute centerpiece 'Ruined Abstraction I + II', swirling electromagnetic interference paints a haunted parallel vista that dissolves slowly into subtle, orchestral tones and booming, widescreen thuds.

Almost angelic closing track 'Rebirth' meanwhile is the most unashamedly beautiful composition Kamaru and Désiré have written together, but its choral bliss is doused in petroleum noise and saturated distortion.

"Limen" is an album that seeks to lift a veil of silence from the world, replacing it with maximalist bombast and vivid passion. It's a dynamic piece of work that finds its creators pushing themselves to the limits, deconstructing history as it detonates around us.

Less than a year after the release of our first Various Artists compilation, TRACKERCORPS is back for more music tracker mayhem!

In the spirit of ‘303 Day', Volume 2 is a tribute to the beloved and highly influential acid sounds - whether they're synthesized in an actual 303 or not.

A saw or pulse wave fed into a Low-Pass Filter with cranked up resonance and envelope modulation on the Cutoff Frequency? I'll take 20 or more!

From Old-school Techno to modern Drill ‘n’ Bass, inspired by classics from labels such as Warp, Rephlex, Planet Mu and Timesig.

KABAAL - Weerman  [MDT008]

Nao vou sair,
Hoje
Nao vou ouvir 
o que tens a dizer
Porque agora
Ja nao a minha vez
E agora
És tu quem tem de ser 
Maior
Maior 
Es tu quem tem de ser
Maior

Ja te disse tantas vezes
Tu pareces indiferente 
Mas a culpa não cai para um só lado
Somos dois
Ando mais impaciente 
Pode parecer de repente mas
Mas a culpa não cai para n so lado 
Somos dois 
Só preciso que agora
Não saias porta fora 
Que não fujas e te sentes ao meu lado 
Só dois 
Diz me coisas que tu sintas
Peço te que não me mintas
E não fiques ao meu lado só calados  somos os dois

Fico em casa
Com medo de te ver
Dou a volta
Pra seres tu a entender
Nao te custa so a ti
Por mim nao fica aqui

Mas agora
Ja nao a minha vez
E agora
És tu quem tem de ser 
Maior
Maior 
Es tu quem tem de ser
Maior
