黑芝麻 (Hēi zhī ma) invites you to retreat inwards - on both the physical plane and within the depths of your psyche - as part of the Pure Space Home Listening series.

Imagined during lockdown, Pure Space Home Listening // 黑芝麻和朋友们 (Hēi zhī ma and friends) probes home listening in the context of isolation.
As an artist, 黑芝麻 leans into the more emotive facets of sound, utilizing sonic and cerebral contrasts to subtly lull the listener into a journey unforeseen. This release sees them infuse this approach within their collaborations with artists Merph, Shoeb Ahmad, Moktar and Zhi.

The artists explore the familiar feelings of solitude, urgency and release firmly etched into our collective consciousness, both synchronously and through their own distinct lens.

“I Miss You” lulls you in with emotive pads that float above a sharp breakbeat and voice notes engulfed with longing. “Take Me Anywhere” provides a feeling of relief, as groove-laden techno bounces off the walls and into the abyss. “Associations” is an introspective, spacious and haunting track you want to float on and on. As you glide between these offerings, the intro and outro tracks hold space for tender ruminations.

The release serves as an archive of a more contemplative and confined period, through the distant murmur of voice notes, the metamorphosing drone of ambient soundscapes, poetic reveries that hang in the air, the rattling percussion of a breakbeat or techno high-hat and the gentle backdrop hums of nature.
This is an immersive audiovisual experience. Filmmaker Jane Inyang reimagines the EP in a short film through different listening contexts during a day in isolation for the protagonist. This short film will be accessible by a QR code in an accompanying poster and zine, which will also feature artist photos, recipes and poetry alongside the work of artist Jacquie Meng and photographer Chanel Nguyen. There will also be a limited run of earrings by Joanne Leong.

Masomenos
24 JUNE 2014

Duration: 02:06:42 // Plays: 1125
Masomenos, is a productive partnership between Joan Costes, a graphic designer and DJ, and Adrien de Maublanc, a producer and sound engineer. They both clearly have a ball with ‘Welcome to Masomenos' an audio-visual system they use to produce their spontaneous, lighthearted, psychedelic, no limits universe. Their label has no rules and regulations as it is freedom and creativity that fuels their world and allows them to produce interdisciplinary creations through various media forms. In this case, our focus may be on the exclusive B2B set they've recorded especially for MEOKO's latest podcast session. Because it is music and music alone, a passion shared by these two love-birds, that is the source, the reason, the vehicle, the springboard from which everything else follows. During this journey of deep yet ever so funky disco flavoured sounds, set your mind free and let it sink into the Masomenos universe and play around with visions of their colourful characters and flashy creations. The mix has been recorded at Club Midi, Cluij-Napoca, Romania, and is the output of the first Masomenos dj&live set played back to back by both, Joan & Adrien.

this and that..

After three, what will be considered, legendary years at Café Fluss in the old pard yard of Gothenburg, the guys have now being forced to close down by the city. On their last weekend open I was invited to play and decided to make something special for the books. I decided to put together a short dj/hybrid set for the early hours in order to go out with style. This is the recording. Rest in power, Café Fluss!
