Very nice. I'm liking the organic movement sounds with the bass and muffled clicks. Very evocative and making me think of whales or some gigantic sea life

Gentle beings, we are entering the world of the ambient, atmospheric, downtempo, and sublime. Transcend at your leisure. [cover Rachika Nayar]

IFS meets... is a series of three releases in which the IFS duo (Krzysztof Ostrowski @kook-on, Mateusz Wysocki @fischerle) produce, curate and host guest vocalists. The first publication in the series was an album recorded with Japanese artist MA. The next is a record created with activist, sound artist and vocalist @agf-antye-greie known as AGF. The last album planned in the series will be a release featuring Wojciech Kosma - @spalarnia.

The impulse to record the album with AGF was a project as part of the Bydgoszcz Experiment Studio, during which the three of them - Ostrowski, Wysocki and Greie-Ripatti - met for three working days in Bydgoszcz, with their final event being their performance together at the cult club MÓZG. The material recorded during the rehearsals and concert was what the artists used to create the album. East-West Logistics is a release that focuses many different strategies and experiences. Such as the fact that Greie-Ripatti, Ostrowski and Wysocki are all artists who come from Eastern Bloc countries, whose memory goes back to the regime changes of the 1990s. Another common fact is that all three live far from urban metropolises, in small towns. This is worth keeping in mind when you start listening to East-West Logistics. 

On a musical level, the artists used every possible excuse to transform their time spent together into verbal and sound material. Recorded junk sounds were incorporated into the album's audiosphere, fragments of conversations between AGF, Ostrowski and Wysocki became part of the lyrics, and the artists' city walks proved to be an important framework for AGF's poetic stories. Antye Greie-Ripatti, returning to outlines after her 2017 instrumental EP, this time focuses primarily on her voice, which becomes the focal point of the compositions created by IFS. 

East-West Logistics can be read as a horizontal movement of meanings: between subject and object, between world and individual, between present and past, between voice and sound, between east and west. On the one hand, AGF leans into psychogeographical intuition – she creates spaces for herself, inhabits them and sets new borders for private experience (the title tracks East-West Logistics and Semi-periphery). On the other hand, there is a touching and personal reflection (Limits and Force to feel). There is also room here for a more abstract and experimental formula (Neuro.logical and C– operator). In terms of sound, IFS try not to interfere with the field of view created by AGF. Although the musical texture is sometimes dense, it provides a well-balanced complement to Greie-Ripatti's voice.

While the first album in the IFS meets... series was a combination of an atomised language and post-footwork rhythms, East-West Logistics operates more sparingly. In contrast to MA's frenetic and jittery expression, AGF's voice oscillates between spoken word and singing, on the one hand being calm and attentive, and on the other precisely describing the observed world. IFS, by contrast, has managed to produce a soundscape that simultaneously complements the Greie-Ripatti narrative, but can also function as an independent sound story.

Ben Pest - 11 November 2025

Om Unit brings back his influential Acid Dub series for the third set of remixes - this time inviting the likes of Dubrunner, Beatrice M., Daniel Avery, Bok Bok, Piezo and more. It's only fitting that Tunisian artist Azu Tiwaline is invited into the fold for this series - a producer who has been on the rise for the last five years through her dub-inflected productions that merge with her Saharan roots. The slowness and psychedelic nature of the Sahara is present on her remix of 'Tapped' - a track that oozes and melts with every drop of sound, getting lost in the mirage.
