you have cried so much during your life,
you know how to swim in sadness,
no evil can drown you.

KHELI presents: swim in sadness

yet is a slippery word in English. Amorphous, these three letters in different contexts can define contrast or emphasis, set a place in time, show an expectation that something will occur or, paradoxically, that it is likely to stop. 

It is this mercurial nature that makes yet the perfect title for Tresor's latest compilation: the label follows on from the more explorative sections of 2021's landmark Tresor 30 boxed set with a compilation, featuring 13 artists making music that resists easy definition. 

Every track hints at and borrows from the familiar yet none follow the expected path: halfway through Deserto, Nandele &amp; A-Tweed dramatically reveal a very different sonic landscape that was initially suggested; DJ Sotofett collaborates with Tamil artist Kavadi with results that are unlike anything in the Norwegian producer’s catalogue as yet.

Further invention can be found as Jean Redondo's Hypersonic moves across spaces inhabited by digital hardcore and hyperpop before swerving off-road and into a futuristic hip-hop section; on No Longer Human, Ireen Amnes takes a different path at the crossroads melding hyperpop, trance, and sci-fi soundtrack atmospherics, Significant Other heads towards UK Bass and Dubstep, and France's Willis Anne skims by the outskirts of footwork with a piece that is almost completely uncategorisable.

Yet more sonic experimentation comes from E-Saggila, Nadia Struiwigh, NVST, Solid Blake, and Viikatory who offer unique takes on the well-established electro blueprint, while Ryan James Ford, and Nit. both find ways to blend elements normally found in ambient pieces with those heard on a dancefloor.

The feel of the compilation is yet again reflected in the enigmatic artwork by Malik Arbab, where shapes and colours suggest animals and plants but in a world that appears to be transient and constantly evolving.

[Lyrics]
Wrong turns in the woods leave you stranded
You don't where to go you don't have directions (dead)
Looking to the stars but no they don't shine
Reflecting all of your imperfections (north)
Life always start out roads way too divided
You just got to connect the sections (what)
Heart in the stone, leave your blood for the trees
And the moss will show you the connections

I speak for the trees, I am one with the leaves
I am that thing that blew past in the wind
I feel all your pain, Cause I cry in the rain
To my own depression I am pinned
But it's deadboy, sadgirl, you can be whatever
As long as you keep your head straight up
Focused on the path that you walking
Cause that joy you be stalking,, will come to you one day
I know

It seems so surreal you just gotta believe in yourself and the ones that you trust
Do it for you and the ones that you love it is hard but you know it's a must do
Stop lying to yourself just gotta be true
Pick up your fucking blade cause you're gonna get through
No more nightmares you'll see the sky blue
And the sun shines bright, new chance at a life

I know I'm not the person to speak bout this matter
Cause yes I feel shit from one day to another
But in this shit, with you
To me, you're more than a brother
