DJ Shiva brings her Noncompliant alias to Valence in March 2017 with the More Than Surviving EP. Described by longtime friend & fan The Black Madonna as "one of the most exciting producers in techno", Shiva's Noncompliant alias is as defiant in sound as it is in name. 

Leading with the title track, which featured in The Black Madonna's Mixmag cover mix in January 2017, the EP features two more original tracks, informed by Alan Moore's V For Vendetta and poet Adrienne Rich respectively. Valence label head Kevin McHugh completes the package with an Ambivalent remix. 

---- 

"Noncompliant is about daring to be who you are instead of who others expect you to be, even when (and maybe especially when) being yourself is dangerous. It is a name and a project very much based in queerness and feminism, and though I started the project last year, it has become even more relevant to me now that we are living in the Trump regime. 

"More Than Surviving is about how we live in times of crisis. We have to find joy and love and goodness even when we are fighting to survive. In fact, sometimes those are the things that keep us fighting, that make it worth fighting in the first place. 

"The Very Last Inch of Us is based on a quote from V for Vendetta: 'Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have. It is the very last inch of us. But within that inch we are free.' Once again, being true to ourselves is sometimes all we have, and it's worth fighting for. 

"More Howl, More Keening is from an Adrienne Rich poem about death. We all will deal with loss, both in the fights we have and also of the people we love. When we lose either, we have to approach it with as much passion as we do living."

Name: Kat S. 
Alias: Katzenmusik, Kat O'Rly (@destination-unknown-radio)
Pronouns: she/her
Location: Chicago

Influences: A lifetime of listening to the radio. Early exposure to Eno's first five albums, and checking out that Steve Reich album from the college library because it looked interesting. Smartbar. Currently: WFMU, the two music Slacks I'm on, Glorb and Lexi.

Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: Destination Unknown, WLUW 88.7 FM. The show started in 1999, I've been host since 2013. 

Favorite Quote: "It ain’t what you got. It’s what you do with what you have."  - Moodymann (it's been said before, but I like how he said it)

Advice for the other DJs, producers and artists of our community: Trust your voice. Trust your gut. Love yourself. Lift up your friends if you can. Don't forget to drink water. If you think it's too late to try something, it probably isn't.

From Art: "Hand over the controls to the Beyond/Below TARDIS as we set the time-space coordinates to travel through electronic and found sound pioneers along with modern ambient experiments. We're visiting Move D's mid-90s electronic Jazz ensemble, early 1980's Japanese ambient sounds, 1970's experimental German collabs between Cluster & Brian Eno, to David Sylvian ("Japan" frontman) and Holger Czukay (Can). Sam Kidel's modern classic reinterpretation of call center purgatory, and Danish ambient with spoken words by Chloe Wise on the return trip.  All aboard!"

"Doc Sleep on Future Times (@future-times)! 'Mirror Lake' is way way deep, with layer after layer of rolling pianos and woven cymbals that come up from the bottom. Recalling everything from the more sci-fi Gigi Masin visions to Arovane, the Jacktone co-boss keeps us horizontal and wired in. A beautiful slice of music. Grip!"

Mirror Lake [from Future Times FIGS Compilation]

A set of 3 remixes from me and Glenn Astro for Motoko & Myers on Future Times. 

From FT Bandcamp:

All proceeds from this compilation will be divided between a host of aid groups via ActBlue, selected by the artists: secure.actblue.com/donate/ab_mn

Motoko & Myers are back on FT with a surprise remix album, stretching their Plover b/w Whimbrel 7” (FT052) into 14 tracks by handing over the binoculars to a host of remixers.

“Plover” in particular is taken to techno heights only hinted at in the original by many of the producers, its beautiful melody acting like pure dance information, moldable into shape. Perko, Unknown Mobile and Davis Galvin get super busy with it for all the deejays, Doc Sleep & Glenn Astro (collaborating together) encase the collection in a 3-song suite of a remix, Ali Berger houses it down, Category goes off the dub deep end, and Flora FM goes full Dave Angel ravelife in amazing fashion.

The drowsier “Whimbrel” gets shlazed, low-slung mixes from TMC and Jack Murphy as well as breaksplorations from Gag Reflex and DJML. Bass Clef combines both songs for a complete trip.

A major pack, and survey of some of our music’s finest new producers too. Tip!
