Latin Experimental Electronic: Ruptura

We’re launching a new line of catalogue of more immediate temporality. Starting with Marissa Malik aka Manuka Honey.

“Industrial Princess”, Manuka Honey’s debut EP embodies her striking but mystic persona. Torn between nostalgia and uninhibited futurism, Industrial Princess is laced with nods to abandoned rave sound, recontextualised by Manuka Honey’s signature Latin rhythms and disregard for any genre-defining conventions. Underpinning the EP is an ominous feeling of distress and discomfort that Manuka Honey is renowned for, designed to provoke clubs into anxious frenzies and heightened bodily reactions.

In ‘Next Life’ the ashes of Tzusing’s tracks are reanimated by some of his favorite producers.

“Como El Viento, Vuelve” is Manolis Sueuga’s experimental take on the elusive nature of ancestry; one that gestures towards Sueuga’s partial understanding of their Tohono O’Odham roots, while acknowledging the unknowability of the past.

Through haunting rhythms and atmospheric interludes, Sueuga conjures an ominous journey that invites us to contemplate the unresolved and incomplete areas of our histories that we may never understand.

The project will be followed by a “Remixed” EP including productions by Only Now, TAYHANA, EL PLVYBXY, and Lila Tirando A Violeta.

Taken from SBKT049: Osheyack - Intimate Publics
Release date: 8th June 2022

Intimate Publics, Osheyack’s second album, is an homage to Shanghai, the city he has called home since 2012. Over the past ten years the producer has evolved from an avid club-goer to a key member of the vital soundscape that emerged from ALL Club and its predecessor, the now defunct club The Shelter. As hinted by the title, which draws on American social theorist Michael Warner’s work on publics and counterpublics, the album expresses a commitment to mining the utopian potential of club music, forging new worlds and generating future social relations, just as the artist bids farewell to the city at a moment of uncertain transition. While tracks like 'Edging' and 'Thrall' continue to present his signature collage of harder club music, the rest of the record reveals a shift to synthetic approximations of acoustic instruments. 'Still', the central track of the album, is a piece composed almost entirely of samples found on Vocaloid (a vocal synthesizer developed by Yamaha, commonly used to give voice to Japanese virtual idols). While echoing themes explored in previous projects, like the nature of realism and authenticity in a techno-mediated landscape, Intimate Publics is charged with an unexpected emotional candor and vulnerability, unveiling a personal side Osheyack is only beginning to explore.

PREMIERE: Negro Dinero - Paternalismo cultural (Promesses)

On New Existence, personalbrand presents three fidgeting, hyperactive tracks that use grime-inspired motifs and experimental club influences to communicate a sense of future shock, the feeling that change and transience has become so rapid that it is now overwhelming. Yet rather than becoming preoccupied with cascading catastrophes, the tracks' more abrasive aspects repeatedly interact with organic elements, alluding to decelerated ways of living that combine technological development with appreciation of the natural world.


personalbrand makes experimental electronic music and is currently based nowhere in particular. Realising the futility in earlier fixations on dystopias and doomerism, he now uses music to explore how visions of hope might be reflected in the shards of our contemporary failures.

Producer, curator, and founder of experimental label POSTWORLD, the current iteration of personalbrand is exploring how visions of hope might be reflected in the shards of our contemporary failures. Despite his moniker, he is presently focused on illuminating the music and art of others that share this anticipative outlook.

personalbrand has released music on TAR and Over My Body, and is a former resident DJ at Taipei's FINAL.

Desiring codes it is a meme about the invasive doctrine of the entrepreneur of himself and individualistic tirany that implies, it is just an anti-iconic evocation of the romanticism about club and the ideas sourrounded them as a political way, as an ideologic counter-apparatus to create new perceptions and subjectivities. 

The future of this is a narcissist a-political-selfie, with all that entails.
