Podcasts/Mixes

A fiery head-to-head by Angolan bass alchemist Nazar and Sicilian sonic sculptor Shapednoise, Sentient_1 was born from the duo's desire to reinterpret club music without being chained to templates or predictable influences. Sentient_1 is unafraid to use any means necessary to make bodies move and minds dance.

"The mix includes some of my favorite productions I have been listening to and that I've been playing at my DJ shows recently. As well as some new exclusive cuts from myself with Nazar and Nikki Nair with Thys & Kelbin. In my DJ set, like on my productions, I like to explore different genres fusing bass weight, hardcore continuum, industrial, and rap, using noise and abstraction as tools for the sonic uproar." - Shapednoise

Shapednoise describes his sound as "grinding Electronics/Noise and Speaker Ripping Techno," and we're inclined to agree.

The Italian producer has a way of doing things to your speakers that you don't expect. His music's physical in the way that fevers and heartbreak and fear are physical, affecting every sense at once and casting a shadow over every inch of your periphery. He's got a background in audio engineering, and he uses it in the most effective possible sense.

For the last four years he's been co-running the Repitch label with Ascion and D. Carbone, mostly releasing music by the label's in-house producers but also offering opportunities to like-minded sadists like Sleeparchive and Violet Poison - with whom Shapednoise has collaborated as Violetshaped. Speaking of sadists, it was no surprise when Dominick Fernow (a.k.a. noise demigod Prurient) picked up Shapednoise's debut album in 2013, The Day of Revenge. 

The years since The Day of Revenge have seen Shapednoise continue to build up a collaborative portfolio - he's worked with visual artist sYn, and recently unveiled a live collaboration at Berlin's CTM Festival with Mumdance and Logos (the group, we're told, will continue to collaborate together under the name The Sprawl). He's also launched a new label Cosmo Rhythmatic, and released Until Human Voices Wake Us, a mini-album on Opal Tapes.

Shapednoise's FACT mix, recorded late last year, is as twisted as you'd expect. It ranges from techno to jungle to gothic quasi-pop to a distorted recording of Squarepusher and Keith Fullerton Whitman talking about kittens, but everything sits together through clipping, distortion and shitloads of noise.
