Voluminous Arts happily announces its third official release, a 12 track digital album and accompanying 3xLP limited 3 color vinyl edition entitled “Disco” by Gavilán Rayna Russom’s elusive alias Black Meteoric Star. 

This is not a Disco record. The title deliberately troubles the music biz’s incessant tendency to hierarchize genre classification over the experience of listening. If you must categorize these mutant sounds think of them as a proposed alternate score for those long, caffeinated sessions in Abby Sciuto’s forensics lab, the soundtrack to a heavy workout in the Westchester Danger Room or perhaps the musical accompaniment to deep body investigations of your own ancestral memories. 

What this record really is, and why it’s called “Disco” has to do with the layering of time and life energy present in the spaces where we have traditionally danced to music which are sometimes called Discos. From the pounding urgency of “Muscle Machine” through the unbridled night vision romp that is “Fluid Feline Forms” and the shimmering investigations of “Whispers Between Worlds” to the extended lazer pointer focus of “I’m Unmelting” this record lays out a broad slab of practice-based research into the ghosts we connect with on the dance floor. Whether it be through partying in former industrial buildings, contested spaces of labor built on lands violently appropriated from indigenous people, uncomfortably inhabiting vacuums in queerness left by the AIDS epidemic, lifting lineages through sampling, or the relentless cycle of whitening that accompanies dance music’s march into the market, our experiences in the Disco have been permeated by the spectral and the haunted. Through rhythm and frequency, organized over time, this music blurs the veil between the living and the dead inviting those who move to it to connect with experiences beyond that false binary. 

What you have here is another fantastic Black Meteoric Star record, as always made without multitracking or overdubbing, recorded directly from single live takes. It is is utterly consistent with all that name has come to mean, but on “Disco” Black Meteoric Star’s vision has been allowed to expand into an almost mythologically epic space. Ancestral time works differently. Settle in and absorb the frequencies. As the closing track suggests, the virtual Disco these sounds evoke is for “Freaks Only”.

We’re excited to share this lovely contribution to our Broadcasting Service by Anne Karmané. She dives deep into her collection, unearthing 90s and 00s gems alongside recent Acid House heaters. This mix is the perfectly pitched prelude to tonight’s event at Disco Zwei, where Anne will bring her most treasured vinyl. <3

Computer Toys Broadcasting Service: Anne Karmané (11/24)

In 2012, Army of God released a cult cut of cold wave: “Army of Salvation”. This was the only EP by the partnership of Aroy Dee and Miss Jagroe, the only EP until now that is. Army of God are back, after more than a decade the duo return with Endless Skies. Analogue warmth is sliced by surgical synth stabs and bittersweet strings, Jagroe’s unmistakable voice echoes into the distance with the beseeching mantra of “until the music dies”. Aroy Dee’s edit of the title piece fortifies drums for the floor, emotion is further stripped from the already deadpan lyrics as melodies bleed into distorted wonder. The black streak that characterises Army of God turns a shade darker for the flip. A throbbing bass is inked by off-kilter keys, clusters of claps piercing the thicket of static and chilling chorus of “Fear the Night”. Venturing ever deeper into the night, the darker version will set speaker cones shaking and shivering. Juddering and trembling, basslines are bolstered with vocals invoking the very darkest regions of the dancefloor.

Terrible & Franz sind heimlich verliebt. Seitdem sie sich in einem Hausflur kennengelernt haben, stolpern sie von einem Glück ins nächste. In Wien organisieren sie Raves & tanzen zu Chicago House. In Berlin fließen sie durch die Straßen und am Helenesee bauen sie Bühnen. Jetzt haben sie zum allerersten Mal gemeinsam ein Set aufgenommen. Aus ihrer intensiven Freundschaft haben sie verschiedenste Schätze ausgegraben: Irgendwo zwischen psychedelischem Downtempo, sonnigem Piano House & Breakbeat Elektro ist ein langsames Acid Set entstanden, um euch den Winter zu vergolden. Fühlt euch geküsst und macht das Ding laut!

Computer Toys as a label gives a home to electronic music, which is not clearly defined by a certain genre, but rather an idea: Taking influences from the 90s and early 2000s into a modern environment without taking ourselves too seriously. Computer Toys was created by DJ and Producer Chris Gerber and is inspired by the scurrility of the early Internet aesthetics - rough and flashy.
