Coda

Notes of snowflakes filling cracks in the pavement, glimmering in the light from a distant window. Crisp fog settling on an open field. A light dusting of pollen on the windshield. Tiny twigs rearranging underfoot. Furtive glance of recognition between two toads.

Thank you, Levan, for sharing a shard of your inner most self around our campfire.

"The relationship of Alley Catss (aka Máté Janky) and EXILES dates back to the very beginning of the label and includes numerous joint efforts and memorable collaborations. He kicked off the first compilation album (EX01) of the label in 2017, contributed several tracks to various VA albums throughout the years, plus he co-organized events and mixes with EXILES, bringing forth artists from his own label too (Daddypower Records). It was just about time to finally have the first full-length Alley Catss release landing in the catalog, presenting seven ethereal tracks, each bearing Janky’s unique voice and dedicated vision for composition and sound design.

Vernacular Cortex Music is a sharp and focused sonic journey in 30 minutes, representing both hard-hitting, glitched beats and icy digitalia as well as fantasy-oriented, dreamlike scenarios. Stepping off the grid and exploring uncharted territories, the first three tracks (st_x, β and β<) share an attitude of overdriven madness, firing up kickdrums, distorted screams and rumbling bass. As the album progresses to Εσχ, the pieces of sound introduced in the first half of the album become even more scattered with more space to breathe, which then slowly fade into a coherent sonic sphere of echoes, mechanic angst and rusted, suffocating dread.

The latter half of Vernacular Cortex Music is a much more sensitive, careful and tender take that bears the stains of stress and uncertainty (_yg), yet shows a way to a future that promises care, joy and an idea of sanity. Like going back to sleep after waking up from a nightmare, +C takes us to a gentle world of sweet dreams, full of virtual harpsichords and iconic organ basses. Finishing up the album, _int is a beatless, waving pulsation with soft rumbles, mellow sighs and bubbling reverberations, slowly closing up Alley Catss’ long-awaited debut on EXILES." - Nemerov

Erwan Sene  - JUnQ
Label: PAN
Cat.No.: PAN 131
Release Date: 14 April 2023
Purchase: PAN.lnk.to/JUnQ

JUnQ, or the Journal of Unsolved Questions, is modeled on a parallel exercise: to sketch music and to score sculptures. Part exhibition, part book and part album release, JUnQ seeks to propose a collaborative language that binds the algorithmic needs of an artificial pop star to the performance of the artist himself. Boundaries between reality and artifice are blurred in a continuous chain of confrontation and sublimation, wherein a romance between analog evolution and digital experimentation is born.

The immersive project released by PAN represents Erwan Sene’s debut album and the multifaceted nature of his approach. Composed like a chorus of fantastical beasts, the album wanders atmospherically through a fogged wood. Sounds are never used for their default function–– they are sculpted, distorted and amplified, becoming hybrids of themselves. A haunting banshee, the monstrous growl of an Orc, Siren songs wafting through the trees–– these and more are recreated with sinuous violins, muffled harpsichord and digital instruments, culminating in a a vibrant “jungle” of sound.

Mixed by James Ginzburg
Mastered by Rashad Becker

1st try zippn it up, excited to try with a second cdj.
 felt to share for a little
40 days on ocean avenue on my last 2 years of emotional life

1st try hyperpopping Glimmer In Yr Tears (40 Days On Ocean Avenue)

This month’s Amulet of Tears mix comes from Finnish producer Romance Relic with distinguishable palette of ingressive lines & steady scrapes riding over subdued frequencies and distorted sounds.

The nettle fades into a chant, receding to the surface where the sounds gather and dissipate on awakening, on a lingering trail, shrouded in half-lit, surreptitiously out of its grasp.
