For the label's second release, Pendulum Recordings presents Abyss Elixir, a 5 track EP from Berlin based French sound artist and producer Zoë Mc Pherson.

Abyss Elixir is an EP made to self-heal and with a transformative perspective. Using warm low frequencies, Mc Pherson creates a visceral atmosphere that is personal and contemplative, yet the listener is present. At times it feels so intimate that the listener wonders if they should even be there. Are they allowed to be there? Unlike a lot of Zoë Mc Pherson’s releases, there are no collaborations here.

In the artist’s own words:

“The overall tracks are meant for heavy sound systems that are able to hit your heart, but also to be played loud in your headphones while taking time for yourself. The whole EP is an elixir, made to mend, if you are able to allow that space and process what is happening. Whatever the mood, it is full acceptance, strengthening and developing your position, observing what is around you, its history and what changes, as well as what needs to change further.”

Mc Pherson opens the EP with “I Expect Nothing (Straight), a 12 minute moody composition with powerful vocals that are at times sultry and at other times maniacal. Singing “I Expect Nothing,” Mc Pherson’s vocals can quickly turn from soulful and enchanting to hysterically laughing from one moment to the next. The track has a natural groove as the journey builds and layers upon itself. While the entirety of Abyss Elixir is a narrative, “I Expect Nothing” is a composition within itself.

Over the 5 track EP Mc Pherson leads the listener on an introspective journey using dub rhythms, noise and experimental textures, and creeping sub bass. Playful beats juxtapose between moments of darkness and intensity. The EP concludes with the track “Bound To Spill,” a powerful closer that feels like a final purge. By the end, the listener is left to process their own journey and start anew.

Having played for the likes of @horizon99999 (Horizon99) and (PUREEVER) in the early rave daze. Malaysian DJ/producer rEmPiT g0dDe$$ is no stranger to the SG underground, bringing her unique blend of old world litanies, dance-pop and hard baselines to our shores since the pre-Covid era. rEmPiT g0dDe$$ has played for us across the causeway and on the interwebs since the virtual beginnings of ER, she has kept us alive and dancing during the best and worst of times, through lockdowns and comedowns. 

rEmPiT g0dDe$$’s live sets are twice as punishing, yet ecstatically rapturous, if you were lucky you caught her at our most recent zionic event. A true Angel of the death drive, we are lucky to have rEmPiT g0dDe$$ as one of the contributors for spittin’ Metal.

Endless Return (ER) is a small experimental arts and music platform from Singapore spearheaded by butoh dancer XUE and sound artist/producer Mervin Wong. ER rejects capitalist event structures, opting instead for gatherings that prioritise creative exploration over financial motives. ER happenings cannibalise and iterate on themselves in the form of eternal Returns — unique events that allow for exciting artistic intersections across art, music and performance. 

Initially conceived during the pandemic as a virtual rave, ER has evolved into a music label and experimental curatorial series dedicated to charting the sonic badlands of Singapore and Southeast Asia, staging provocations not only locally, but around the region.

A recipient of the NTU CCA: Platform Projects Curatorial Award in 2021, ER is dedicated to unearthing and showcasing the most subversive of the Singapore/regional underground and cross-disciplinary performance acts. ER's recent music releases include "Parodyse City" (2023) by Singaporean DJ and producer Vangoth666 and 'Jawir' by Yogyakarta based experimental trio Proto Animalia. 

ER has been featured on publications like Mixmag Asia, Female Magazine Singapore and Life in Arpeggio and was the recipient of a Creative Grant by Refraction Festival in 2022 and most recently a T:>Works Per°Form Open Academy of Arts and Activations Fellow. ER has also been a resident with Hong Kong Community Radio for the past two years.
