Area Z is proud to present our 11th tape, courtesy of Paris-based artist Théo Ferretti.

Coming from his gothic and post-punk roots, the project aims to fuse these influences with shades of electronic body music, martial techno and mystic industrial music, blending together darkness, poetry, existentialism and modern day brutalism.

Questioning the duality between the material and the immaterial, the past and the present, the sacred and the cursed, M I M’s sound is severe and transcendent while remaining danceable and cathartic.

Staring at the Void -his third EP- is the logical following to all of these topics, a dive into the abyss of the human subconscious through haunting basslines, rains of metal hits, screams of despair and liturgical chants.

Joining forces to Théo’s release, we have the pleasure to present three remixes of the EP, courtesy of England’s Randolph & Mortimer, our Toulouse's Arabian Panther and from UVB’s side-project Elements of Joy, which presents his first remix under this alias.

198319831983 is a DJ and producer hailing from Ljubljana, Slovenia. He has been active within the electronic music scene for more than two decades, 
including roles in event promotion, art direction, and label management. Equally adept at dictating sweaty dancefloors or curating a listening experience, his love for and appreciation of the broader scope of (electronic) music can be felt in both his own music and his DJ sets. It is perhaps best encapsulated in his imprint, Honest Work Recordings, which shies away from stylistic constraints and serves as a platform for both physically and cerebrally engaging electronic music from emerging and seasoned artists alike.

As a temporal art, music only ever exists in the moment, yet that moment and the mindspace necessary for full immersion is more fleeting and prone to disruption than ever. 198319831983's Intrinsic guest mix plants the willing listener firmly in the here and now through meditative soundscapes, building on subtle yet hypnotic rhythms with a touch of experimental electronica, cinematic sound design, and bittersweet melodies that invoke the primal connection between the oscillation of sound waves and the uncharted waters of the spiritual realm.

Experimental soundscapes and live performances draw from a wide array of disciplines, from ambient, traditional and world, to early electronic, live avant-garde and contemporary.

Subtle yet expansive, introspective yet universal, we create a space with the support of likeminded people, to both collectively and individually explore the depth and richness of infinite existence.

Using space and architecture as the canvas, our visual aspect complements using organic projection mapping.
