Dev/Null - DARK FOURS [OFFICIAL VIDEO]
https://youtu.be/7t3D0DCUrnE

This November, American cult hero Dev/Null debuts on Trickfinger & Aura T-09's Evar Records with MICROJUNGLIZM, an 8-track album that explores the power and beauty of darkcore, jungle tekno and breakbeat rave. Chopped drums, hairpin turns and alluringly emotional pads open up a time portal between the past and the future, decorated with haunting samples and musical Easter eggs that show off Boston-based Dev/Null's deep history as a rave historian and scholar.

MICROJUNGLIZM's fantasy suite was written over the last year, arranged and sequenced entirely without a computer. Dev/Null fell in love with Teenage Engineering's PO-33 Pocket Operator – a portable, pocket-sized sequencer that he started using during his DJ sets to create special versions on the fly. The limitations of making entire tracks inside the PO-33 immediately suggested the sampling techniques and stylistic hallmarks of early jungle, already one of Pete's longtime obsessions.

"The PO-33 has some of the same low-fi sonic charm as retro gear used back in the day," Pete explains. "8-bit samples, 11khz mono sound, kind of like an Amiga computer. It's been really fun and exciting to have my own tracks to throw into sets – even if they're raw, unfinished 3-minute things which get played once and never again. A few of these tunes were done for my sets at parties thrown by Aura T-09 in L.A., so I'm happy they're coming out on her label."

While these tracks may seem maximal, they are minimal to Pete's ear – a departure from the intricately sliced and information-dense breakcore for which he's known. The album emotionally bottles the essence of a bygone era with an individual palette of influences, from UK grime anthems to Italian horror soundtracks. Pete is not merely trying to tap into the cultural zeitgeist for all things jungle and breakbeat rave – he's already been here, stoking the fires of this scene since the early 2000s with his tastemaker blog (Blog to the Old Skool), his cult vinyl reissue label 8205 Recordings, and his deep dive radio shows: Demon Poetry on NTS and BTTO (with new-era jungle torchbearer Tim Reaper) on Jungletrain.net. MICROJUNGLIZM itself follows on from the momentum created by Pocket Selector, Dev/Null's 2020 outing with the PO-33 on the Modern Urban Jazz label, run by veteran UK drum 'n' bass producer Justice.

MICROJUNGLIZM is available NOVEMBER 19th, on Evar Records via digital download and 12" vinyl. Check out these amazing breakbeat meditations from a modern master of the style.

The 14th release of katharsis is the debut EP “Pace / Silence” by Danish artist ELCA. The release is truly a personal piece to the artist, as it intends to translate, conceptualize and visualize the physical and psychological experiences of living with heart disease. Throughout the five tracks of the EP, ELCA explores an array of themes and symptoms related to his illness through distorted pads, stuttering synthesizers and heavily manipulated drums.

On “Pace / Silence” the artist seeks to express the difficult feelings attached to illness in our society, recognize others in similar situations and fight the stigma attached to it. Starting the EP out solidly, the track “Defibrillation” is a manifestation of ELCA’s first heart attack and the following electrical shocks he experienced from his ICD. Following this comes “Arrhythmia” portraying the inner battle between the heart and the defibrillator and their struggle to find a common tempo.

On “Bradycardia / Pacemakers”, ELCA firstly depicts the symptom of having a much too low pulse and later the stabilization of the pulse by the pacemaker. Thereafter comes the track “Tachycardia”, oppositely depicting the symptom of having a much too high pulse and the following fears of fainting and potential heart stop. Lastly, the artist shows how on “Composure” that the worst symptoms have ameliorated through the right medical care and how making music has given him release of some of the difficult experiences he had in the intense care.

Working Title; a project in co-curation

In the postmodern world of today, the work of curators has become increasingly diverse. The job content has shifted from a simple model of guarding, keeping or acquiring a collection, to a compound model, adding the possibility of acquiring a semi celebrity status identity.

We are part of a generation that has spent their childhood growing up with an invisible third parent, the internet. We are able to discover music faster and easier than ever before. But even with all these options, an individual curator can never truly see the whole picture.

The idea for this project is simple and goes as follows;
Instead of curating artists ourselves, we will have others curate together. Our project can be seen as an exercise in joint curatorship. We have invited fourteen different collectives, labels and individuals who in their turn curated one artist.
