Sharon & Vida

Abandon all expectations ye who enter here, Other Lands (previous, druid-like incantations on FIREC015 Mac-Talla Nan Creag) got you covered with a truly compelling assortment of jazz snaz and post-armaggedon cosmo-disco oddities; occupying the space between alien-revisited exotica, classic jacking house workouts and a BoC 'Chromakey Dreamcoat' kinda vibe, seemingly elusive at first but definitely familiar to the ears of uncool survivors like you and I. One thing's sure, Other Lands could throw a balearic party at one of Berghain's most secret leather-friendly backrooms that it wouldn't feel out of place. Never mind the weird, inverse sun-tan lines.

Exclusively Distributed Worldwide by Rubadub.

Released Mid February, 2018.

FIREC025 Other Lands - Pattern Transform EP

Following up Lou Karsh’s excellent “Ataraxia” EP we’re hitting up Australia once again, such is the level of burgeoning talent down under. This time it’s the turn of Sydney native E Davd. Manu originally got in touch with a bunch of demos just short of two years ago in the spring of 2016, so for once it’s really no exaggeration to say that this has been a “long time in the works”. Only one track from that initial offering made the release and it’s been a real pleasure witnessing Manu’s creative evolution in that time, not to mention the success of his debut EP on Manchester based label, Natural Sciences.

The self-styled Cosmic Healer turns in an EP of similar flavor to his first effort; ice cold pads, hypnotic 303 basslines and liberal use of that 707 rim shot combine to create a record shot through with reflection and melancholy. Tales of lost love and memories past course through every track. Manu sums up the inspiration behind the EP really well, so we’re going to leave the rest of this write up to the artist for once...

Released 18th May 2018.

Deep88 - The Tropical Song

In the moonlight there was little to hold onto but one another beneath the glow of the faint white light up high above in the darkened sky. Close to me I watched the people come and go from the empty bar, they would walk through the illuminated door before observing the bleak and lonely scene with a sense of melancholy and sadness. The night outside was cold and harsh yet in here it was warm and welcoming. If only the rest of the world was simply able to see...

This one is beautiful. No Really. Guaranteed summer bliss reminiscent of the Italian dream house era for the present. The guys from Craigie Knowes found Paolo on Youtube jamming out on some rare hardware and this is his first release. Wow.

Continuity #4 w/ Celyn June (12/07/20)

После пати мы делаем Афтапати крюкаст.

Данный микс с нашей недавней пати в Изиче. Собрал его Ваня Смекалин — старейший (но не старый) диггер Москвы, который также даёт диггать и нам, и даже Элайджа Вуду, ахаха (в его DIG Store). Посмотрите его «Нетелефонный разговор» с Ильдаром Зайнетдиновым если охота узнать побольше про Мск-движ. А не так давно они ещё и лейбл сделали, виниловый, и сразу засветились на весь мир пластинкой от Лёвы Koyil (вы точно помните ту нереальную обложку авторства Алины Виноградовой).

After party we make afteparty-crewqast. 
That one w/ @ivansmekalin, boss of @digrecs, from our gig in @yzeech.

autoparty: Ivan Smekalin (19.09.2020)

on the feet of a wind is a wild assemblage of carbonated synthetic music from Powell and a sister record to ‘flash across the intervals’ and ‘multiply the sides’ — two albums already released in 2020. The record is released via a folder, a new music and film platform created by Powell, Michael Amstad and Marte Eknæs that bundles up music, film, image, text and other forms of madness into folders that are shared/expanded online.

➜ afolder.studio

The release is accompanied by a ‘Hi-sensitive’ film directed by Amstad and Eknæs entitled ‘flares, currents’. The film contains a recombined live version of ‘rise, world unfold’, the musical series that concludes this album. 

➜ watch film


a folder is a collection of disorienting works of experimental film, ambiguous texts, and other assorted media set to the most brazenly strange and formlessly mesmerising musical structures of Powell’s career. It’s also a work of artistic assemblage — without fixed notions of time. Tarkovsky once described his filmmaking as “sculpting in time,” and a folder exists in a similar kind of “zone;” it is a project continuously added to, subtracted from, abstracted, and injected into the glut of cyberspace like a slow moving pathogen that refuses to be defined or categorised. Shunning titles in favour of oblique category markers, films like aƒ34 present a mosaic of images of biological forms and sublime landscapes set to super-synthetic, carbonated compositions. All of this signals an artist liberated from the confines of the narrow branding signifiers an electronic musician can find themselves in. While it is aware of its place in cyberspace, this project also connects to something primordial and awesome. “Xenakis talked about creating universes with sound,” says Powell, “and we are all free to create our own worlds in life, art — whatever. This is what happened to me in a way: I have been in this world for three years or something, and I don’t really want to leave. The folder is a refuge.’

Designing for Intelligence: Ramon Amaro, Rana Dasgupta and Yuk Hui discuss the politics and philosophy of AI.

This conversation appears in Atlas of Anomalous AI ed. by Ben Vickers & K Allado-McDowell
https://ignota.org/products/atlas-of-anomalous-ai

Atlas of Anomalous AI is a compelling and surprising map of our complex relationship to intelligence, from ancient to emerging systems of knowledge. A wildly associative constellation of ideas, stories, artworks and historical materials, the Atlas draws on art historian Aby Warburg’s Mnemosyne Atlas — an image map of the “afterlife of antiquity” — to approach the defining concepts of AI from an imaginative, artistic and revitalising perspective.

Taken from ROMANCE - YOU MUST REMEMBER THIS [E061] 

Fusing ambient with the winsome emotive nostalgia of Hollywood symphonic soundtracks, Romance cascades hypnogogic hooks through trance inducing polyrhythmic peaks. 

You Must Remember This is a psychotropic, time-smearing mixtape album of chopped & screwed romantic classical and new age ballads, drawing on themes of classical beauty, faded glamour and altered states. 

Straddling the Warholian line of high / low culture, Romance combines the sacred legato dreamtime of Edward Artemiev’s haunting soundtrack for Tarkovsky’s ’Stalker’ the sculptural repetition of Philip Glass with the syrupy emotional grandiosity of Whitney Houston or Celine Dion. Unspooling motifs from the forgotten annals of film history, collaged and suffused with decaying reverb and crystalline echoes YMRT conjures otherworldly atmosphere akin to fellow hauntologists GAS, Burial and The Caretaker.

Mastered by Alessio Natalizia. Artwork by Asel Tambay

"All dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous, for they may act on their dream with open eyes, to make it possible." - T.E. Lawrence (Seven Pillars of Wisdom)
