10th episode of Cartel podcast with Mina Lord 

Mina Lord is producing experimental electronic music since 2017 after many years as a drummer in grunge, punk and metal bands. Rather than sticking with one genre, she utilized a whole spectrum of music expression in her own productions to create whole worlds and atmospheres for the audience to dive in to. Her main focus is to create her own sound by recording and designing all her samples herself. Often described as very atmospheric, almost cinematic - she creates music and DJ mixes out of stimuli. A deep interest in the interaction of visuals, space and sound, results in linking these elements together right at the foundation of a project. In December 2019 she had the debut event of her own music and art collective The Twelve Prophets, where she invites and collaborates with other artists to explore the link between music, visuals, technology and space.

Mina Lord x Cartel [010]

Atlas, the label debut EP by Foxconn Suicide, is a dense ocean of dilated, murky industrial grooves, shimmering trance-derived arpeggios and sporadic noisy, deteriorating assaults.

In a swamp steeped in digital pitfalls, the duo's mechanical contortions turn a stern gaze to the mournful march of the industrial world and the cold rave nostalgia of centuries past, guiding us to the stake of an old and painful path, favoring under their breath an unknown and present torment.

Exploring the dangerous limits of the senses, the EP's five tracks accompany us on this violent immersion into the human ego, accepting the intimate and dark boundaries of self-processing and finally rebelling through an uneasy, neuromantic but necessary reaction.

1. Stigma
2. Levitation Down
3. Suspension III
4. Advena
5. Becoming-light

Produced by Alessandro Biselli & Mirco Ercoli

Pitch Dark

Codex Empire - Praeburn [Pure Hate Trax]

A year and a half after the release of the eponymous LP UZHUR on Nahal Recordings (label founded by Paul Régimbeau aka Mondkopf and Frederic D. Oberland - Oiseaux-Tempête, Le Rêveil des tropiques...), UZHUR will release a 5-track EP entitled APHASIA on Italian label Brutal Forms in November 2024.
The EP, recorded in their Parisian studio early 2024, opens up new horizons, both more rhythmic and more melodic. In contrast to the extreme deconstruction of the album, this EP features more structured pieces, in line with the band's dark, post-industrial aesthetic. Opening with FINAL, a French-spoken explosive blast, the record is gradually tinged with melancholy and rage in murky magma, ending with a long, abstract 11-minute piece, a vision of a decaying civilisation.

Music by UZHUR.
Artwork design and photo by Grégoire Orio.
Recorded, produced and mixed at Singular Studio, Paris.
Fabien Rios: drum machine, electric bass, feedbacks.
Jean-Charles Bastion: modular synth, vocals.
Mastered by James Plotkin.

Aphasia

UZHUR - Aphasia EP [Brutal Forms]

Premiere: Self-Awareness - Necessary Antagonism
Label: Psychophonie De L'éternel

Release Date 15-11-24

Description:
This is the first chapter of 2 releases by the Mexico-based project called Self-Awareness, under the title “Origin And Ceremony”.
His experimental lyrics evoke mystical knowledge of ancient esoteric dogmas, through tribal sounds, strident guitar leads and dark synth sounds that leave a feeling of fire in the blood.
It is an allegory of the labyrinth that represents the human mind and the shadowy path to self-knowledge.

Mastered By:The Black Hole Mastering

Broken Mirror

Synthetic Dreams

DARKRED – queer-friendly community, passionately embracing untrivial, extreme music genres and avant-garde art. We foster unusual artistic projects, aimed to explore different forms of intimacy and proximity as well as variety of freedom expressions. The main focus for our selections is candid, harsh, industrial and dissonantly textured sound, which opens additional layer of emotionality, provoking honest and sincere contact with our self. 

We believe that dark and dissonantly-vibed music can be outspokenly therapeutic and creates internal space for honest self-dialog and experiencing complex states. Darkness is immensely embracing. Therefore we find this aspect exceedingly important, while experiencing collective trauma in Ukraine, daily facing death, destruction, torture, rapes, finding new mass graves of civilians on the de-occupied territories.
