Speculative Chartographies is a new, ambitious, multi-faceted interactive artwork created by artists David Mathúna, Rory Malone and Gianni Laneri Deforne.

Over a period of two months, events were held at four East-Berlin locations where interviews with the public were conducted on the topic of the future of public space - each line of questioning depending on the given location; how do we imagine the future of transport, of borders, of security, of play?

The information gathered served as the inspiration for location-specific augmented reality sculptures created by Rory Malone and a GPS-spatialised sound-walk designed and composed by David Mathúna, transforming the borderlands of Kreuzberg, Neukölln and Alt-Treptow into a veritable audio-visual treasure hunt.

The spatialised sound walk encompasses an interactive score of four movements activated by the visitor’s relative GPS position, each sonic movement containing audio collected during the events held at their respective locations, interwoven with spoken extracts from Isaac Asimov’s ‘The Last Question’ - each with its own distinct aesthetic atmosphere composed in reaction to the location and its events.

Question Arch: Transport

Masterminded by Ricardo Villalobos and named after a group of Russian revolutionaries, laptop supergroup Narod Niki made their debut at MUTEK in 2003. Using the then, relatively new Ableton Live software to network their live jam, some of the biggest names in techno participated in this auspicious performance: Ricardo Villalobos, Richie Hawtin, Akufen, Robert Henke, Dimbiman, Dandy Jack, Cabanne, Luciano and Dan Bell. While bootlegs of this recording have been circulating on the web for a while, this is the first time we have released the recording.

Solid Steel (26th May) In Hour 1 we welcome Djrum to Solid Steel, a producer who has been turning heads since 2010 with his early productions on Smokin' Sessions, On The Edge and his Mountains EP on 2nd Drop Records. Some of his best mixes have been a soundtrack to an imaginary movie and it's no exception here, with music from Bjork, Randomer, Lurka, Gila, Colin Stetson, Kowton, Trus'me and Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto included to accompany a film in your mind. He told us;
"This mix has been conceived as a soundtrack to an imaginary movie. It differs from the kind of mix that i would do in a club, as the focus is more on creating an atmosphere or mood than it is about rhythmic drive."

THE DEAD WERE CLEANSED IN ORDER TO PASS ONTO DUAT.

A vibrating sensuality within the scope of an insistent staccato. An interplay between impulsiveness and violent positivity. A dialogue on the raw, the distant and the mantric. 

With 'Onto Duat' Maenad Veyl constitutes a radical cancellation of the smooth. Displaying the very quality of instincts and paying tribute to Dark Eroticism. 

'Onto Duat' is an EP that will be released on Bedouin Records  in late September. It includes 4 tracks.

TRACKLISTING:
A1 Change Your Mind
A2 Onto Duat
B1 Take Nothing With You
B2 Riot Patrol

re:ni's secret weapon is the way she plays with rhythm with such ease.
Whether banging 130bpm club tracks or nailing down slick UK techno,
keeping it deep with 100bpm rollers freaking you out with acid she is
a devilishly dexterous DJ. Because of this she has become an NTS
regular, firm favourite at places like De School and Dimensions and
counts Timedance boss Batu and the Livity Sound crew as fans.

In the mix for us she serves up all sorts of futurist beats that are
wired up with electronics or stripped back to more haunting and
hypnotic sound worlds. Reni's ability to manipulate rhythm and
texture, time and space is utterly thrilling and finds her go from
slowed down dub to high octane minimalism and on to jungle with ease
over the course of this slick 90 minute selection.

Aquarian - The Snake That Eats Itself

Canadian born, Berlin based producer @Aquarian makes his full length album debut The Snake That Eats Itself on Bedouin Records. This record follows his collaborative EPs with Deapmash as 'AQXDM" and is his first solo release since his 2016 experimental mixtape for Quiet Time.

Nearly five years in the making,The Snake That Eats Itself is Aquarian's most complex, diverse and emotive work to date, plunging his trademark UK sound-system / techno hybrids into a self-contained, cinematic universe streaked with heavy influences from industrial, IDM, drone and dark pop music. Written in Brooklyn, New York, in a deeply transitional, yet seemingly endless period preceding his relocation to Berlin,the title of the album refers to the Ouroboros, a mythological serpent symbolizing the cycle of birth and death and infinity itself.

The Snake That Eats Itself pits Aquarian's most abrasive and brutal moments next to his most wistful and introspective. Viscerally thick layers of tape saturation envelop the album as sludgy synths ooze against brittle atmospheres; breakbeats fragment, explode and disintegrate into swarms of delay and noise; scorched, metallic percussion - sampled from a year-long demolition and construction project next to his apartment - forge the rhythmic backbone of the album. These elements, however, seamlessly make way to startlingly crystalline and shimmering ambient passages, offering a sense of reprieve and balance.

Tracklist:
01. End Credits
02. Blood Sugar
03. Sketch 2 (Song for D.O.U.G.)
04. Ouroboros
05. Tarp2
06. New York, An Eternity

When forlorn and monochrome, our external and internal worlds must be opposed with color and depth to regain their brilliance. This is something our next guest, Justine Perry, does extremely well. Her capacity to carefully contrast atmospheres and build a narrative has earned her slots in some of the best clubs around Europe. While making her home in Berlin, she has become a resident with Art Bei Ton, where she has contributed passionately to create inclusive and stimulating events. Impressed as we were with her psychedelic and deeply mesmeric style, we thought she would be a perfect addition to our winter series. With a mix that tunnels deep into the different caverns of the mind, she once again returns brilliance to our grey externalities.

Thanks a lot https://soundcloud.com/justineperry
