In 2022, Osàre! Editions founder Elena Colombi approached artists and musicians with a prompt: Every body, everyone needs love to flourish. In her book The Will to Change, the eminent author and social activist bell hooks invites men to excavate their innermost selves, challenging the way that patriarchal society limits their capacity for intimacy, tenderness, care and emotion. As hooks lays out, feminist thought and work requires the collective participation of all genders in order to realise a liberated world. How can we imagine cross-gender solidarity through music and art? And how can we tell sonic stories that facilitate our full potential as desiring beings? These are the questions that The Male Body Will Be Next starts out from.

The title of the record draws connections between hooks' writing, a film by Rebecca Salvadori and Peter de Potter's stunning photo series of the same name. In de Potter and Salvadori's depictions, men's bodies appear as vulnerable, naked and exposed.

Divided into two parts, the first instalment of The Male Body Will Be Next hinges on colliding energies – the melding of club dance floors and haunting ambient textures, agile techno and noisy experimentation.

'The sun on my skin… it’s so warm and gentle,’ speak-sings Olivia Salvadori on ‘Su Di Te M’Infrango’, visualising utopias. Laurel Halo crafts a dreamscape spun from golden threads of synth and strings. Pensive and reflective, Ben Bertrand’s bass clarinet roams searchingly, its piercing tonality full of longing. Yet, in between these lucid, cinematic passages and spoken word, The Male Body Will Be Next finds space to dance together. Moving in fervent, rhythmic patterns, Sepehr’s ‘Divooneh’ pivots between tension and release. Filmmaker unleashes a wave of energy and The Spy delivers a potent take on vintage electro, the track title hinting at the double-bind of gendered expectations. Propelled between these eclectic styles, the record encapsulates the full spectrum of sonic expression.

La Serpiente (12/04/24)

𝓛'𝓲𝓷𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓾𝓻 𝓼𝓪𝓾𝓿𝓪𝓰𝓮 in April is about being alone, "mutterseelenallein", about loneliness and empty places, about drifting around in the wild and shimmering realms of solitude. Words and poems of this episode are by Paul Celan, Maggie Nelson, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, Denys Renaudin's Investigation of a Haunting case in Paris in 1979, my friend's friend Jess and by myself. 

The Artwork is part of Goya's Los Caprichos. Los Caprichos is a set of 80 prints in aquatint and etching created by the Spanish artist in 1797–1798, and published as an album in 1799. The prints were an artistic experiment: a medium for Goya's condemnation of the universal follies and foolishness in the  society in which he lived.

L'intérieur sauvage 31 - Elazer - 18/04/2024

𝘉𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳, 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘴. The eighteenth edition of Scrying the Landscape explores the sensuality of sound. From devotional chanting to the chest-thrumming pulse of dub and power electronics, this mix contains music that serves as a reminder of our embodied presence in the world. Enter a realm of somatic rituals, where the thinking mind and feeling flesh meet, revealing their irrevocable inseparability.

Scrying the Landscape w. Elina Tapio, Hannah Pezzack [08.04.2024]

"Unreleased Territory" evokes the allure of uncharted domains waiting to be explored, whether in the physical world or within oneself. It embodies the spirit of adventure and curiosity, beckoning individuals to venture beyond familiar boundaries into realms yet to be discovered. These unexplored territories may manifest as untapped potential, undiscovered talents, or uncharted landscapes waiting to reveal their secrets. Embracing the journey into Unreleased Territory is an invitation to embrace uncertainty, confront challenges, and uncover hidden treasures that await those brave enough to embark on the expedition of self-discovery and exploration.

Low Voltage⚡️X.Y.R. Feat. Пайта - Sad In A Jungle (Unreleased Territory Mix)

You don't have to cross the oceans, you don't have to climb all the mountains and ford all the rivers, find the last bridges and cross the distant plains to reach the horizon. You just have to uncover the mantle of what you've been told. What all the elites tried to tell you, what the fools despised, what the companies tried to sell you without you needing it. Away from selfishness and proving your own importance. "Assembly Plant For Human Priorities" is an eleven-part mystical essence synth mosaic of the integral parts of our lives that don't seem to concern us, but only until we start going to them with tears in our eyes to lay wreaths by cemetery candlelight.

As many eyes as you want to keep open, that's how many you can have. That's how much you can give away around you. "Assembly Plant For Human Priorities" is a question mark in a sentence where there is often a period. An exclamation point where many hear a question mark.
