With her second album SODA, Belia Winnewisser continues on the path she has been following for quite some time. Few share the Swiss artist’s knack for combining a sensibility to the enthusiastic potential of pop with an interest in niche references of experimental sound design. In recent years, her feel for this fusion brought Winnewisser to the attention of the electronic club music scene. This world and the various genres related to it leave their mark on SODA. A year without club nights allowed Winnewisser to fully embrace her flair for pop and experimentalism, which resulted in more than a mere series of nods to different genres and acts. SODA—both as a resonant title and as a collection of music—is a direct call without hidden meanings or implicit references. It’s simply the path she’s on and the way she’s going. 

The first single from the album is „The Cave with Lost Leaves.“ Winnewisser had originally written the song about ten years ago and re-discovered a recording of her singing when working on SODA. She then transformed the composition to its current form where sample play and a sparse drum track open up to turn into a well-nigh big room hymn. 

SODA is out on 02 July 2021 (digital) and 30 July 2021 (vinyl) respectively.

In Japanese Buddhism, it's believed that when someone dies they are ushered down one of six paths depending on the karma accumulated during their previous lives. A being might end up in the world of humans, animals, demigods, or celestials, but it's also possible to end up reborn as a pitiable hungry ghost, doomed to an existence of insatiable desire, or even worse - be sent to hell, or jigoku. Ruled over by the Japanese lord of death Emma-ō, this hell isn't quite like the Christian hell, it's closer to purgatory, and cleansing the karma can take hundreds of millions of years of excruciating torture in extreme cold or immense fire. Japanese bass alchemist Gorgonn takes these themes as the basis of his debut album "Six Paths", assembling a spiritually weighty set of futurist dubs that consider the possibility that our mortal domain might be closer to hell than we realize.

Gorgonn describes himself as a Japalien exile. He left the country of his birth almost two decades ago, and since then has been working tirelessly to formulate Jamaican dub, noise, techno, and no-wave into a sound he calls "sci-fi steppas". If you've not come across his name before, there's a good chance you've heard his reverberations. An established sound tech who's worked with The Bug, Hype Williams, Seefeel and others, he's part of G36 with Kevin Martin, Dokkebi Q with Kiki Hitomi, and a former member of Devilman with DJ Scotch Egg and Bo Ningen's Taigen Kawabe. Just last year he released the acclaimed "Disentegration Dubs" full-length alongside JK Flesh, the veteran producer who's best known for masterminding Godflesh. All this experience blesses Gorgonn's productions with remarkable sonic force, and "Six Paths" is his most crushing display yet, smelting cannonball bass and osmium beats into sharp-edged soundsystem weapons.

Look no further than opener 'Abyss' for evidence of this: psychedelic synths draw the mind away from the mortal realm, while tangled, distorted beats push us back down to earth, our faces crushed into the grit and gravel. Using tweaked sub bass and unsettling drones, Gorgonn lays out a cinematic backdrop for the album, drawing us into a world that's terrifying, viscous, and nauseatingly familiar. There's a militaristic roll to 'Without Beginning and End', a track that juxtaposes spacey halfstep thrusts with death metal distortion, footwork polyrhythms, and unearthly pads that addresses the crushing endlessness of jigoku. On 'Invisible' meanwhile, Gorgonn torches the skeletal remains of D&B, abstracting familiar rhythmic patterns into fuzzy, ritualistic cycles that sound both ancient and humming with prospective technology. But on the closing track 'Life as a Beast', it sounds as if Gorgonn has come to a conclusion, and in a flurry of acid squelches and doomy foghorn bass blasts, he seems to have accepted that being reincarnated as an animal might be the best anyone can hope for. Who knows, you might end up as a cat.

Party Chat

SILO is the result of improvised compositions, created and recorded inside an empty silo in Seyðisfjörður, Iceland. This cylindrical empty tank was formerly used in the production of fish meal, the main industry of this small town. Large fishing boats constantly come and go from the fjord, where steep and lean mountains rise up on both sides. The silo is like an encapsulation of the fjord, where all sounds from the surrounding waterfalls, snow blizzards, sea birds, ships, and factory machines are sucked in and thrown around, spiraling in metallic reverberations. Once you have entered through the small hatch opening, all senses sharpen. The light is dim, illuminating the orange dust-covered floors. There’s an obscure smell of rust and fish, and breath turns into steam in the frigid cold air. Every sound, each footstep and movement of the body, is amplified in the soundscape of the silo. The sense of time and space quickly gets lost. The source of that which you’re sensing is ambiguous as the sounds of the synth, the flute, and our voices are woven into each other, blurring distinctions between what is mine/yours/ours.

++ PRESENTATION ++
We are happy to introduce a new format to our catalogue - Resonance! For each installment in the series, two or more members of the Global URL Nation spontaneously bond and collaborate on a multi-track project, such as an EP or audiovisual piece.

For the first edition, we warmly welcome POL100 & Cecco Meraviglia for Espiazione, a journey of soul purification and an exploration of mind-body dualism partly inspired by Dante’s Inferno. Thought and produced as music videos, it gathers the two Italian artists around a common project to be seen and heard. 

Over 5 audiovisual acts, Espiazione combines organic textures, intriguing sound designs and synthetic soundscapes with distorted symbols, particle shapes, morphing glitches and virtual mirages.

The opening act, Preludio, is an anxious and tension-filled ambient dive into the universal themes of death and mind-body separation. It then proceeds to a reinterpretation of Dante’s hell, purgatory and heaven with Fluido, a noise-filled suffocating descent into infernal circles and arhythmic abysses ; Solido, an unstable call for tranquility, a climbing towards purification and cleansing through textured terror, despair and deadly sins ; and Gassoso, a bright and ecstatic atmospheric liberation carried by graceful pads, celestial elements and angelic figures. Expanding Dante’s representation, the release closes with Rinascita, a shimmering and joyful exploration of rebirth as seen by various cultures, returning the soul to a material and earthly dimension.

Experienced as a whole, Espiazione walks a fine balance between life, death and rebirth, to provide us with a touching emotional journey, a subtle celebration of the impermanent cycles of life.
