Cold Reading

@luxxuryproblems

For a new episode of our regular ethereal mixes, we invited audiovisual artist Manuel Sékou, also operating under the moniker luxxuryproblems.

The artist’s mixes appear to a listener as diaries of subtle, seemingly tangible sensations and labyrinths of images. In the new material, he layers microtunes onto texture-rich fragments, as if breaking the recording into a series of successive frames.

Previously, luxxuryproblems was published on labels such as SPA, 76666 and Gem Tones, and has also contributed tracks to compilations from Katharsis, Sirens, World Canvas, Comic Sans and Infinito Audio. Two years ago, his latest mini-album “Flexfit” was released on SPA.

Let’s get to the meat of the matter, shall we? I’m done with the bush beatery and the drain circling. I’m talking flesh. I want it. Show it to me. I would like to regard it in its breathing, pulsing pomp. No more faff, no more whatabouterie. Meat. Only meat. Meat: other joe’s ‘Flawless’. A veritable abattoir. To reside in the meat mansion, slabs of the finest cuts splayed in lieu of decor. We’re here. Meat.
