DECONSTRUCT

Que Sakamoto & NT, Anna Vs June, DJ Blech, Lastrack and Tassilo Vanhöfen remixed Los Pashminas’ White Series #2 EP. 

After Los Pashminas' debut release, we put the music in the hands of these five trusted producers. While Que Sakamoto & NT raise the BPMs for high dancefloor effectiveness, Tassilo Vanhöfen adds his touch by making ‘Turtle Haze Convolution’ a heavy and dark groove bomb. Lastrack transforms the same track into a massive base-slash-dubstep number that will unleash its power on any big sound system. Anna Vs June from Athens adds a personal touch to ‘Chameleon Brain Dance’ by contributing her own voice and DJ Blech explores the world of polyrhythms and creates a trippy journey on the base of ‘Lobster Symbiotic Dialogue’.

Los Pashminas - Turtle Haze Convolution (Lastrack Remix)

“Seven tracks of primitive-futuristic percussive imbued with grotesque noise and whirling voices debut from BHKT.”

"Retaww" refers to BHKT's hunting and gathering era. An album that propels us into a vast land of chaos, brutality, ecstatic and blunt. It's obvious how BHKT pushes the boundaries of structure in his music, challenging the listener to think freely.

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.

@elirrealveintiuno - Irrealidades
Format: Digital
Release: March 31st, 2023

Irrealidades is the new album from Mexican scene stalwart Bryan Dálvez, El Irreal Veintiuno on Infinite Machine. Although his reputation is well-established at home through EPs and tracks on NAAFI, Subreal and Infinite Machine itself, Irrealidades comes across as his boldest and most cohesive statement yet.

The album is a kaleidoscopic survey of Mexico’s rich sonic landscape, as well as an ambitious attempt to encompass the country’s historical becoming: from the rich, imagined sounds of pre-hispanic times to its current war-torn reality.

But an academic pursuit this isn’t and this is still very much music for the body. From the get-go, drums burn and rhythms gallop; sharp, aggressive synths insist and prod. Un respiro, the album’s mid-point gives us exactly that, a breather, albeit an emotionally charged one. Soon enough the second half of the record returns to polyrhythmic fury and ravey turbulence. We reach fever pitch on closer Minorías, envisioned by Bryan as a sonic representation of the eschaton: “the last track is merely the end of everything”.

Throughout the record disjointed voices loop endlessly before managing to articulate a single intelligible word. Maybe, Irrealidades seems to say, we are also caught in a loop, unable to break out from the cycle of violence and marching irredeemably (but with healthy curiosity) into The End, when Quetzalcóatl makes his glorious return.

El Irreal Veintiuno - Karma

Remember

Spiral was born from a simple, almost distracted gesture: a spiral drawn with a pen on a sheet of paper. That imperfect and repetitive mark became the conceptual starting point for a composition entirely created in the digital domain and developed as a circular, constantly evolving process. The sound follows the motion of the spiral, returning to itself without ever being the same, expanding and contracting while always retaining a memory of its origin. The piece was also conceived in relation to a visual dimension, where the drawing is not only an inspiration but a structural element, and the graphic gesture is translated into time, frequency, and sonic density. Spiral explores the relationship between gesture and form, repetition and variation, control and release, inviting the listener into an experience that does not move in a straight line but through successive approaches, like a motion that turns and slowly transforms.
