Berlin-based artist Werner Soyeaux under his stage name Bläck Dävil is a core part of the Berlin collective Ick Mach Welle. Schnäll Schnäll is his debut solo artist EP on Killekill, with own productions accompanied by collaborations with Bettina and DJ Normal 4, alongside remixes by Rhyw and Gesloten Cirkel. The EP opens with the dark intro Alptraum, which Gesloten Cirkel transforms into an ill-tempered acid-electro monster. The title track Schnäll Schnäll provides a stark contrast to these, with bright overtones existing alongside deeply rooted sonic bedrock. Rhyw adds a level of abstraction and futurism with his remix of this track, whilst retaining the dub-influenced vibe of the original. Following on from this Geldschere is collaboration with Düsseldorf artist DJ Normal 4, with Bläck Dävil contributing his own lyrics and voice, to create a track that could be fittingly described as “Acid Punk Rock”! The final track on the release is a cheeky ode to the Ick Mach Welle family. Here the Dävil's passion for Hardtekk, Gabber and similar rough styles of music become clear.

A heady fusion of rock’s steely drive, cosmic trance, wiggy acid basslines and cavernous dub, Talk is at once rooted in the turn of the millennium while sounding utterly outside of space and time. A combination of coveted un- and self-released material, the record features a remix, specially commissioned by Betonska, from Naone.

Jin Won Lee (이진원), otherwise known as Gazaebal, is a Korean producer and DJ whose sensual, spacious approach to electronica is rooted in his background as a sound engineer. Having begun his career in New York, in recording studios working with the likes of the Wu-Tang Clan and Janet Jackson, his expansive creative repertoire further includes media art and chart-topping K-pop. A member of Tacit Group, a collective creating algorithmic and audiovisual performances, Gazaebal is presently best known for ambient-adjacent soundscapes, yet in the halcyon late 1990s and early 2000s, he synergised a uniquely potent take on club music.

The titular track was initially released in 1999 on the independent imprint dmstrax, established by Gazaebal’s agent and wife, Nine. First appearing on techno@kr, a compilation CD dedicated to Korean electronic musicians, ‘Talk’ is an hybrid, electro-punk anthem. Colliding sung-screeched Korean lyrics with heavy breakbeat, its abrasive textures are delivered with ultra-slick orchestration. Halfway through, the jittery breaks collapse, reprised by momentous four-to-the-floor. It’s this dichotomy between poise and power that characterises the record as Gazaebal flexes his ear for intricate melodies and rocketing build.

Composed alongside Big Hit Productions founder and BTS songwriter Mr. "Hitman" Bang, the original version of 'And So On' was not available for re-release due to licensing difficulties. But thankfully the multitrack was well preserved. Utilising these components, Nawon Ha (AKA Korean-but-Netherlands-based artist Naone) re-imagines the song for Betonska. Remixed with her own hypnotic vocals, she inflects the track with mesmerising, multi-layered dimensions; a fractal, downtempo trance number that connects two generations of underground electronic musicians from South Korea.

From the pulverising kickdrum of ‘Gilda’ to ‘Spiral's acidic dub fuzz, Talk moves between sharp crests, twists, and turns, enveloping driving 4/4 and shuffling half-time. Presented as a mix-friendly mini-album, the carefully selected 6 tracks are ideally tailored to DJ-level quality and loudness. As much suited to the psychedelic rave scene of yesteryear as they are to contemporary dancefloors, Gazaebal’s productions are defined by his idiosyncrasies. Melding the sheen of tight-production with a flagrant DIY spirit, his music assuages the high-commercialism of the 2000s, resulting in a sound that’s as definitely punchy as it is intoxicatingly precise.

PREMIERE CDL || Gazaebal - Talk [Betonska] (2023)

💲 BUY VINYL

‘Desired Array’ by Mythopoet epitomizes the experimental nature of this compilation. It is a tune that traverses techno and IDM with a beautiful soundscape and fat squelchy bass that hits the spot perfectly. The drums sound unpredictable and anxious like drowning in some kind of edge. The overall result is a dreamy and mystical creation that calls for a journey inward, putting you in a state of contemplation.

PREMIERE⚡Mythopoet - Desired Array [Safar Collective]

Exthract w/ Volodymyr Gnatenko - xurix

We are beyond excited to announce our latest guest to the Symposium Records Mix Series.  Please welcome - Blume!!  

Blume has been very influential in what we play and program at Symposium Records.  She goes well beyond the surface and seeks out and plays - not only forward thinking tracks but also tracks that are timeless!

This mix has a hefty dose of introspective tunes and are quite focused on sound design.  Originating from a  similar selection she played at tresor a few weeks back.

Blume, hailing from the vibrant tapestry of Buenos Aires's electronic underground music scene, now finds herself a part of mainland Europe. Following five initial years in Amsterdam, living as a co-habitant of De School, she ultimately settled in the pulsating heart of artistic expression: Berlin.

Establishing her online record store Format Wars - @formatwars.records - in 2019, hosting and curating associated pop-up events, she is a DJ whose club-centric sound moves inwards from the peripheries of dance music. With sets, unlimited and freeform, finding inspiration through sonic qualities she treasures, Blume embraces a broad dynamic that’s both heavy in bass and energetic as it is ghostly, glitchy and atmospheric. 

Adding drums, broken beats and jungle influences to a sound that can equally fall away into life-affirming, dreamy ambient, Blume’s sets are an adventurous exploration of tempo and texture. No stranger to clubs like OHM & Tresor in Berlin, to events like co:clear in Glasgow, ADE in Amsterdam or Saint-Étienne’s esteemed Positive Education festival, primetime Blume can also be found online for NTS, HÖR and Rinse FM (UK) to the bi-monthly radio show she hosts on Noods called The Otherness - noodsradio.com/residents/the-otherness-w-blume

Assuming the role of a fully independent DJ, freelance art director, and record shop proprietor, Blume is first and foremost a student of sound. And as Format Wars makes inroads to becoming a physical location in 2024, she is dedicating her studies and research further afield to emerging AI technologies, generative tools and new production techniques. 

With Blume’s stylistic approach, intrepid sound and quality aesthetic already allied with an international repute of labels, domestic crews and local radio, it’s clear the artist’s creative expression, entrepreneurial instinct and synergism are poised for the future ahead.
