A promising track of EP2, plays around with a catchy and naive vocal phrase, insisting that ‘Sometimes It’s Hard’. The statement, sung by a soft but mechanical female voice, is underlined by a glitchy and relentless breakbeat layered with visceral subs. The track’s weltschmerz disposition is equally seductive and destructive, which makes ‘Sometimes It’s Hard’ an unusual tune that will satisfy both seasoned ravers and a wider festival crowd.

EP2’s mesmerising cover art, a piece created for affected called ‘Crinoid Scanner’, was made by local 3D artist Caroline Vang. The work is inspired by the alien yet familiar look of crinoid fossils. Finding her inspiration in the most alien and quirky parts of nature, Vang specializes in an experimental and surreal play of texture and shape, to challenge the line between fiction and hyper-reality.

Sometimes It's Hard is mastered by SUGAR aka. Nikolaj Jakobsen in Copenhagen.

Ice_Eyes - DARK UNIT

The first single from aircode's new album 'Surface Tension' (G&P025), out September 24, 2023 

Julia Svensson alias @aircode is a Swedish producer and sound designer based in London. In the past years Julia has been leisurely refining her signature out-there blend of gloomy yet elegant sound distinguished by an incorporation of slack piano tones and timid vocals intertwined with bleak samples and worn-out dub rhythm cameos. Since her first output via TT (fka Tobago Tracks) in 2019 she's been steadily releasing music via imprints like Alien Jams and Nostro Hood System, or just lowkey through her own bandcamp page. After helplessly drowning in her music since we first heard it, we are now more than honored to have the opportunity to present Julia's sophomore full-length album 'Surface Tension'.

Building on her past work, Surface Tension is an especially electrifying creation. Higher density sounds are gliding on an unfolded surface without ever being fully submerged, complementing each other into an enticing and immersive listen. With Julia's music, the long-depleted term 'sonic landscape' suddenly makes much of a sense. Captivating with it's well-measured approach, it draws an attentive listener into a world of intricate and finely nuanced compositions in which an unrushed precision and intuitive approach to writing can be clearly sensed.
“Surface tension tends to make a drop spherical, gravity tends to flatten a sessile drop and elongate a pendant drop, and the electric field typically elongates a drop along the direction of the field” - says science. Similar to the dichotomy of a liquid dripping process, Surface Tension inherently shifts into two distinct mood opposites. Straight from the beginning of the record a palpable tension can be felt, hinting at a series of inevitable plot twists that keep the listener submerging in its enthralling waves. While most of the tracks start with a calm before a storm, halfway through 'Slow Burn' or 'Dissimilar Liquids' Julia delves into the very depths of dank dubstep bass. Surface Tension weaves a vibrant narrative - at times a confluence of serene comprehension other times bordering on a pleasure of suffocating in its intensity.

🍉This dance music compilation is a statement, we the alternative electronic music scene, its artists, its listeners, and its engineers, we believe that together we can work without demobilizing the strength of our work as dj, and producer of club music. •°*”˜.•°*”˜

🍉We hope that when international DJs play these tracks, a thought will go directly to the Palestinian people and the atrocities they have experienced of which we have all been spectators.•°*”˜.•°*”˜

🍉With our political forces respectively granted to us we demand an immediate ceasefire. •°*”˜.•°*”˜

🍉We hope that this music will travel through space and time, and allow us to never forget what Gaza was and has become.•°*”˜.•°*”˜

🍉 We give strength to all these victims, and we hope that one day they will be able to sleep without fear, without noise, and frightening lights in the sky.•°*”˜.•°*”˜

🍉 Today, we call on you to join forces to provide essential support to the Palestinian people through MSF PAL. Palestine is going through genocide that require our concern. After the truce, Israeli soldiers continue to murder thousands of Palestinians, that are already lacking of health care and essential resources.•°*”˜.•°*”˜
The population is also threaten by diseases, starvations, and psychologic trauma.•°*”˜.•°*”˜

🍉 We call for an immediate cease fire.•°*”˜.•°*”˜

🍉 The quest for security and dignity for all people cannot be achieved at the expense of human life, whether on the Israeli or Palestinian side.•°*”˜.•°*”˜

🍉It is undeniable that international conflicts can have repercussions on perceptions and intercommunity relations.•°*”˜.•°*”˜

🍉We are also concerned about the rise of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, phenomena which may be exacerbated by the current situation in Palestine.
Every individual in the world should, whatever their origins, religions, traditions, be able to live without fear, with dignity and mutual respect.•°*”˜.•°*”
