ALT002: Evanful Chart - RAY

Kruzhok Radio

Discovery

Described by Fucking Young as "one of the wildest, raving, and experimental projects making waves in the French underground," and by Vice as "Defying our generation, grabbing it by the collar and shaking out it's last remaining drops of decadent sap," DAISY MORTEM @daisymortem are UFO's from the French countryside. After accompanying IC3PEAK and GFOTY on their entire respective tours, Daisy Mortem was noticed by CATNAPP, who then released their first album "Faits Divers", on her label NAPP RECORDS in 2020.

Last year, French avant-garde club producers were inspired by the pandemic eclipse to create a new interpretation of their album Faits Divers, with some incredible collaborators. On May 31st the new label DAAGANDA RECORDS will release Fausse Nouvelle. 
The title track of the album – Fausse Nouvelle – is solely produced by Daisy Mortem, as their own reinterpretation of “Faits Divers,” that inspired this entire project. An epic and euphoric take that plays on the “alternate reality” sensation of 2020, thanks to the pandemic. A dizzying and thrilling blend of metaphysical and medieval references.
Today Daisy Mortem are premiering the song “Fausse Nouvelle” exclusively on FAXXE FAUNA

Space is a territory of unpredictable landscapes, in which it is unthinkable to find a person without external protection from the harsh natural conditions. The spacesuit separates the person from the dangerous environment, thereby ensuring their coexistence.
In the “Landscape” collection, Kappa and Kruzhok form a futuristic idea of a utilitarian spacesuit that allows one to be in the inner space of a person.

The “Landscape” collection coexists in three natural spaces - in the mountains, forest and sea. Each being a separate ecosystem, once again points us to the infinity of the world, to how individual phenomena are repeated in all its parts.
Kappa and Kruzhok go beyond conventional boundaries in an attempt to overcome space-time constraints.

Premiere: Gorozhanin - Expertise [ALT003]

To drink the «Ladoga» cranberry tincture after the beer. To swing around the city in something defiantly colorful instead of the usual mourning black. To move from Kreuzberg neighbourhood of Berlin to Longinovskaya street in Lefortovo. To eat a hot pepper with marshmallows in chocolate. To cut off your luxurious tresses and shave your head. Finally, stop rooting for the club from the Premier League and start supporting with all your heart the «Torpedo» football team from Lyubertsy.

None of these events comes close to the contrasts of the full vinyl mix recorded for us by Ilya Sheiman, co-founder of the Alt community, sound producer and our dearest friend.

Sheyman - 5/8 Radio #202

(live version)

‘And where should we go’ — live-recorded album by Homeless dog, the psychedelic electro-acoustic duo consisting of a screech of saxophone and electric guitar, vocals, synthesizers and ethnic instruments, in which Vladimir Sidorov and Ilya Sheyman study various forms of absurdity and chaos, scream and freeze, uprooting everything that is dug into the depths of thoughts and feelings. 

The musicians of the duo speak about the album as follows: 

“The war has come, which we did not want, were afraid of, which we are fighting against and which we hate. Up to this day, it keeps us awake at night, haunts us on the way to school or work, guards nearby grocery stores and on the subway, seeps into people's faces and rots, infecting their internal organs. Others lose their homes and loved ones, migrating all over the world in search of space and safety and do not know where to go. 

We don't know where we should go either. This live recording is our hour-long story about the feeling of being lost and empty, when there is nothing you can grab onto and everything disappears: the former world that you loved and tried to protect, but could not save, because there are people vaster than you and more terrible” 

The release is already available on digital platforms, a little later in audio cassette format.

"И куда нам деваться" — live-альбом Бродячей собаки, психоделического электроакустического дуэта в составе скрежета саксофона и электрической гитары, вокала, синтезаторов и этнических инструментов. Участники проекта Владимир Сидоров и Илья Шейман изучают различные формы абсурда и хаоса, кричат и замирают, выкорчёвывают всё, что врыто в глубину мыслей и чувств. 

Авторы рассказывают о содержимом альбома так: 

“Наступила война, которую мы не хотели, боялись, против которой мы боремся и которую ненавидим. Она по сей день не даёт нам спать по ночам, преследует нас по пути на учёбу и работу, караулит у продуктовых магазинов и в метро, просачивается в лица людей и гниёт, заражая их внутренние органы. Другие теряют дома и близких, разлетаются по миру в поисках воздуха и безопасности и не знают куда им деться. 

Мы тоже не знаем куда нам деться. Этот лайв — наш часовой рассказ об ощущении потерянности и пустоты, когда не за что хвататься и все пропадает: тот прежний мир, который ты любил и оберегал, но не смог сохранить, потому что есть люди выше и страшнее”. 

Альбом складывался весной и летом 2022-го года, был записан живьём для TESTFM в сентябре.

Premiere on FAXXE FAUNA (Soundcloud): 
freq444 - JW12, «Dispersion» EP [NOID001] @nodotid (Out on September 1, 2023) vinyl/digital

@freq444 are two Brussels based cousins who found a common love for electronic music. After individual musical wanderings in Saint Petersburg, Seoul, Paris and Amsterdam, Laurens and Alex, who grew up a stone's throw from each other, found themselves confined in their small Belgian village. As a dj/producer duo they travel the lines between bass music, breaks and IDM while not shying away from showing the heavy influence they got early on from jungle and dubstep. With tension-heavy dj sets and absorbing live performances, any setting is fair game.

'JW12' is #2 track of EP, throwing some killer kicks into the mix, accompanied by a sharp drums that firmly establishes the «Dispersion» EP within bass culture. 
Atmospheric, but never esoteric, ‘Dispersion’ is about to make waves.

RIFT One is the first instalment in a series of releases curated by YEAR0001, featuring contributions and commissions by a variety of highly innovative and influential artists.

By releasing this compilation ahead of schedule and donating all proceeds from purchases directly to community bail funds, mutual aid funds, and racial justice organisers we hope to make a small contribution towards awareness and change, and encourage our community to act against injustice and stand together in solidarity. 

Racial injustice, white supremacy and all forms of discrimination simply has no place in the culture we represent; we will continue to educate ourselves, listen, learn and find more ways to support both in a short and long term perspective.

All future entries of the RIFT compilation series will also donate to humanitarian organisations and funds.
