Taken from SBKT046: Rilla - Yugeki / 遊撃 EP

Cover Design: Tianyi
Mastering: Raphael Valensi
Release Date: 21st January 2022

For our first release of 2022 we are excited to welcome Fukuoka born, Kyoto based producer RILLA to the SVBKVLT roster with ‘Yugeki / 遊撃’, the first in a series of EPs for the label.

Featuring 5 thunderous original tracks, and packaged with equally fierce remixes from Howie Lee, Osheyack and Hyph11E, the title ‘Yugeki’ translates to ‘attacking the enemy or assisting allies as the opportunity arises’, a ‘search-and-destroy mission’ or a military action without a predetermined target. Tianyi’s artwork encompasses this concept perfectly with a cloaked combatant, bow drawn, prepared for action.

Rilla

Rilla has been active in the Japanese music scene for almost 25 years, starting as a DJ in Tokyo in 1997 and a buyer for Cisco Records since 2002. His event ‘Almadella’ with Keihin and Yusaku Shigeyasu presented and toured artists such as Shackleton, Peverelist, Scuba, Goth-Trad and Karafuto aka Fumiya Tanaka, with Rilla himself playing over 50 events a year. Since 2012 he has been based in Kyoto, and in 2020 released his first EP ‘SFTM002’ on Torei’s ‘Set Fire To Me’ label. His SVBKVLT debut ‘Yugeki / 遊撃’ sees Rilla expand outside of Japan for the first time, with a second EP set for release later in 2022

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.

Transcend into a never-before-defined expanse of sounds as TT welcomes back BFTT with his debut album ‘Redefines’. The statement of a periodic 4-year writing process marks his most reflective work to date - a meticulously sculpted sound which introspectively draws from everything that he has produced. The album is not only a testimony to BFTT’s sonic journey but the embodiment of time itself. Interpreted as an ‘audio diary’, it puts into sound a spectrum of rose tinted emotions which are attached to the samples buried within each track. Taken from YouTube videos and recordings from his phone, a subconscious process of redefinition has attributed additional meaning to the samples over time. BFTT’s eulogization of the inexplicable beauty in this false nostalgia is conveyed as a colossal encyclopaedia of sounds, spaces and rhythms, taking you on a journey into the past through the sounds of future.

‘Redefines’ will keep you on the edge of your seat as BFTT effortlessly flits between different sonic terrains. From beatless expanses of desolate rainy soundscapes, to highly charged spectrums of beats, to varying iterations of glitchy vocal samples. Expect switch-ups between warming subterranean basslines and steely high-frequency refractions in a matter of seconds. Off-kilter beats compressed tight enough to pack a punch morph into more dubby distortions and reverberating kicks. To close, a dissonant orchestra of acoustic strings masterfully tying together the album.

TL;DR: this one’s a special record.

It is time to let go of your fear and doubts. You must learn to embrace the darkness of your soul, for it is a light beacon of hope for humanity. Your soul wants to show itself in its truest form, strength, perseverance, courage and determination of spirit. In this lifetime your soul needs to cleanse and open its feelings for katharsis.

With the double compilation “Infinite Summer: Ekstase & Fantasi”, katharsis celebrates the return of raves and concerts to society after a long period of pandemic shutdown. A magical summer has passed filled with an incredible pallet of emotional material, ready to be expressed. Therefore, we encouraged a collection of artists we adore to channel their imagination of the greatest way to conclude an endless summer night into a piece of music.

This resulted in a grand assemblage of harmonious manifestations, naturally splitting into two divisions with opposing focuses. On the first part of the duology “Ekstase” coming out on September 20th, we are presented with fourteen tracks for the dancefloor in an array of different styles, ranging everywhere from energetic morning vibes on the junglish opener “Origin, Gate's Dawn” by Yem Gel to hardcore sensations on Mang’s trap-infused roller “Based Halo”.

A promising track of EP2, plays around with a catchy and naive vocal phrase, insisting that ‘Sometimes It’s Hard’. The statement, sung by a soft but mechanical female voice, is underlined by a glitchy and relentless breakbeat layered with visceral subs. The track’s weltschmerz disposition is equally seductive and destructive, which makes ‘Sometimes It’s Hard’ an unusual tune that will satisfy both seasoned ravers and a wider festival crowd.

EP2’s mesmerising cover art, a piece created for affected called ‘Crinoid Scanner’, was made by local 3D artist Caroline Vang. The work is inspired by the alien yet familiar look of crinoid fossils. Finding her inspiration in the most alien and quirky parts of nature, Vang specializes in an experimental and surreal play of texture and shape, to challenge the line between fiction and hyper-reality.

Sometimes It's Hard is mastered by SUGAR aka. Nikolaj Jakobsen in Copenhagen.
