VVITCHES

this is the room i've always seen,
this is the place i've always known
my whole existence just a dream
for all eternity alone

these are the ropes that keep me safe
suspended over dangerous ground
my balance is a fragile thing
i really don't wish to be found

ropes are digging into skin
the only thing i can still feel
i bleed so that i drink
i bleed so that i heal

i bleed so that i heal

I Bleed So That I Heal

"Razen is the Belgian band led by the duo Brecht Ameel and Kim Delcour who have been exploring different musical worlds since 2010. For the past decade we witnessed the shape of their own sound without repeating themselves in a truly unique way.
Razen played their very first concert at les ateliers claus and came back a decade later. This concert stands for 10 years of Razen-evolutionary music while revisiting our venue. It took place end September 2019.


Razen has been a constant factor in my own personal musical journey, while working at Kraak - listening to their debut recordings, seeing the first performances and then witnessing them refine the Razen sound without compromising. Not losing their focus, but in the contrary mastering a certain continuity in their layered compositions while carefully choosing the instrumentations. A heady brew of deep listening music that is almost medieval in mood and wholly reverential in technique."

Insomnia

Nu:64 is the second single taken from Och's album 'II'

Och – II
----------
As a new decade dawns, the music obsessive inhabits a claustrophobic modern era of instant gratification in which they’re seemingly so spoiled by online options and easy access that transcendence can be paradoxically hard to find in the melee. With this in mind, it can be reassuring to be mindful of the manner in which a random discovery in the bargain bins of a second-hand record store or a charity shop can set off sparks of inspiration and untold fascination.

It was naturally just this kind of obsessive chasing of avenues beyond the commonplace and the easily explicable that led to the formation 
of the fabled Nurse With Wound List by habitual £1-bin-haunter 
Steven Stapleton in 1979. Within this assemblage of exotic monikers were an eternal coded gateway to worlds of experimentation and adventure that were all the more affecting for their mystery. 

A full forty years on, rare though it is to come across a new record in the here and now which conjures up the same sense of ‘other’ as the cryptic artefacts of yore, it seems that one is on the verge of crossing our transom. ‘OCH’ - Swedish for ‘and’ - are poised to release their first album for Rocket Recordings (following a self-released EP which saw the light of day six years ago) This trio - of whom little is known other than a kinship to their labelmates Flowers Must Die - have created a collection of beguiling soundscapes and audial epiphanies that can’t help but summon up the freewheeling ‘70s spirit, the small-hours headspace and the broader sense of adventure that has legendarily dominated the areas of the esoteric. 

Amidst these eight exploratory journeys, the listener can plot out a psychic course that traverses the likes of the meditative trance-states of vintage Popol Vuh, the chemically-altered mania of Guru Guru. Synth-driven propulsion akin to French iconoclasts Heldon and Lard Free, and naturally the bucolic raptures of the band’s erstwhile national forebears such as Träd Gräs Och Stenar and Älgarnas Trädgård, not to mention more recent exponents of the same lineage such as Hills and Dungen. Yet the entire vision the band conveys on this delirious travelogue is both timeless and paradoxically fresh.

Just as their name invokes an ampersand, so this record is no less than a gateway who knows where; proof positive that these dimensions beyond the everyday - at the hands of OCH - are as accessible in 2020 as ever they were, not to mention still more potent.

Magizter - Das Kapital '93 Remix (Heap Version)

Espace Négatif

welcome darling to the secret place where the fires are lit
where the beats are starting to reach out to bodies we commit
to the rythm of darkness, to the ritual of life, to the festival of wilful sin
to the breeze, the release of pressures inside, the eternal lust we harbor within

don't just walk in though, precious, for I wish to see
a little tease, a hint of skin, the promise of more of you for me
innocense is never sacred, that's always been a lie
of preachermen determined to use you as their toy

my intentions, sweetheart, are of course not pure
i mean to absolutely use you as my own personal cure
reach out to the skies, reach out to hell
call on the lord, call on the angel who fell

to reinstate my vigour, my strength, my stamina, my youth
to let me be myself again, experience every move
your feet stomp to my beats, i take you in my arms
you're no longer hurting me, one of my many scars

finally i am in charge, my sweet nemesis
reach out to your lucky stars, open your mouth for my kiss
my hands explore your skin, there are no secrets left
we are one at last, a devil finally blessed

at last

At Last
