What we dont know x DarkSoul live @ ZDB

Remembering all my boys. Especially the three. Miss you.

While browsing through my downloads folder, I found a recording of an old friend saying a ridiculous phrase about his Gaultier top.

It got me thinking, the ACTUAL boys in Gaultier always seem to be so sexy, so cool yet so empty. They leave you intrigued but heartbroken. They are the himbos who are sensitive, artistic and so delicious. They have impeccable aesthetic taste, yet their minds (or whatever is left of them) live on a plane that is inaccessible to everyone, sometimes even to themselves. 

They are simultaneously with you and somewhere else. They act like they let you emotionally in but there is always an inpeneterable boundary. Always elusive. Dead pan demeanor. Glossy empty eyes but they draw you in with their beauty.  

The Boys in Gaultier is a lo-fi downtempo electronic soundscape with a few easter egg samples, including snippets from the recording mentioned above, a computer generated voice saying “Ni aquí, ni allá” (Neither here, nor there) and a morsel from Bellini’s over-the-top classic “Casta Diva”. 

I recently was re-engaged with the aria through a sexy vintage JPG fragrance campaign commercial. It is hot, minimal and elegant. The feeling it conveys is almost palpable. It stirs memories from the past. It’s the morning after, the lingering smell of the person you just fucked on your sheets, and the the beautiful lover just disappearing and running off into the daylight. 

In this track, focused experimental sound design is applied to traditional structures and motifs from dance pop, techno, lo-fi music and reggaetón. There is am inviting familiarity but everything is fragile, collapsing at the seams yet bound by beauty and elegance. 

Hit play and get transported to running around the nighttime streets of NYC when all the beautiful things come out to play. Dance to it. Vibe to it. Cry to it. Fuck to it. 

That’s it for now. More brewing.

The latest volley from @high_digital's inner sanctum comes courtesy of Egyptian producer @assyouti. 

Drawing upon Cairo’s feverish energy, ‘Shakhrama’ is a violent distillation of rhythmic ingenuity and squashed, caustic bass. It’s overdriven and precision-tooled; each track a stampeding onslaught more devastating than the last.

Presenting the title track, today’s premiere evokes his hometown’s noise polluted landscape with some rapid-fire rudeness. A deadly fusion of mutant bass ballistics and hi-NRG club deconstruction.

'Shakhrama' is out November 17th on High Digital.

Pre-order: assyouti.bandcamp.com/album/shakhrama-ep

We have some lacerating, avant-club abstraction as @corinmusic returns to Lee Gamble’s @uiqmusic label.

Back on UIQ following 2021’s 'Enantiodromia' release. Where that explored ideas of machine learning, specifically memory retention in AI, ‘Lux Aeterna’ imagines sound as sentient across a suite of tracks indebted to sci-fi soundtracks and baroque-era beauty. It’s a fierce and forward investigation into texture through the prism of granular synthesis and club-focused concerns. 

Our premiere, ‘extasis’, finds the multidisciplinary artist marrying spectral trance and industrial maelstrom to exhilarating effect.

'Lux Aeterna' is out July 14th on UIQ.
