Dominic Coppola & Angelo Harmsworth - Appollonia

Our seventh Functions of the Now mix comes from Berlin’s M.E.S.H. –  a thick and sludgy, irrepressibly restless collage of modern club sounds that beautifully represents Janus’ anarchic soundworld. Having released his first EP on Dyssembler, this month will see the release of “Scythians”, an incredibly diverse and lush sonic ecosystem released through Berlin staple PAN. A host of remixes can be found on his Soundcloud, and have fortunately satiated followers along the way. Together with Kablam and Lotic, M.E.S.H. holds a residency at Janus, a legendary party at Chester’s and radio show on Berlin Community Radio with a history of booking underground heroes.

M.E.S.H.’s tunes feel like they are being summoned out of raw electricity and thrust directly into hyperreality. It feels almost subliminal, sounds are more suggestions than anything concrete as origins are constantly deferred and obscured. “Imperial Sewers”, off the forthcoming EP, toys with hardstyle tropes but only obliquely – they are romanticised and rewired through a myriad of other influences. These exquisite corpses are littered throughout the mix, throughout the hell Janus have created.

Functions Of The Now VII: M.E.S.H.

Portada: Moebius en “Les yeux du chat”

“Hi-Eso-Tech-Jazz gira alrededor de los primitivos coqueteos del sector más vanguardista del Jazz de los 70 con la experimentación electrónica; desde las primeras exploraciones de Sun Ra y Jon Appleton a destacados puntos álgidos como el revelador “NoBu” de Herbie Hancock. Con especial inciso en aquellas propuestas que incorporaron el Moog, cualquier sintetizador de la serie ARP a sus herramientas, y escogiendo aquellos álbumes o piezas con cierto aire esotérico, malévolo e inquietante”. 

Frankie Pizá

"Aquí en Egipto no se estilan demasiado los tatuajes, pero a pesar de ello si vemos a alguien con la U del Unity de Larry Young tatuada en el antebrazo no nos queda más remedio que invocar a Osiris, dios de la resurreción, con tal de que sea testigo de ello y nos vuelva a traer a Larry junto a nosotros, a este mundo de muertos en vida".

"Porque no solo de golondrinas y anclas de marinero vive la tinta sobre la piel al igual que nuestros oídos y corazones no solo viven de músicas amables e inocuas de radio-formula, y eso bien lo sabe nuestro último invitado, el hiperactivo portador de la U, el señor Frankie Pizá".

"Si te has paseado por Egipto con nosotros más de una vez suponemos que ya sabrás que es uno de los estandartes de ese oasis dentro del periodismo musical patrio llamado Concepto Radio (porque el concepto… es el concepto), un activista de mirada felina y curiosa, devorador leonino y exhaustivo de la historia musical y paramilitar de la palabra escrita. Sus artículos son los que hablan sobre su persona y no nosotros con esta verborrea".

"Para la ocasión, y como parece ser que no podía ser de otra manera, el compañero Pizá ha optado por el camino más angosto y seco, en el que a pesar de las condiciones, si uno abre sus sentidos y expande su percepción comprobará que hasta el pasaje más extremo y oscuro contiene tanta luz y belleza como el despertar de las flores en primavera".

DFTVI - Dartmoor Field Trip Podcast

Smoke Machine Podcast 101 Lee Gamble

The manifold artistic roles of Lisbon Portugal-based usof - producer, DJ, label-runner, visual artist - matches his multifaceted audio output. usof has been at the forefront of the accelerating expansion of "ambient" into an increasingly liminal space, twisting and morphing the genre origins of meditative and background music into unsettling, fantastically detailed compositions. ENXPL is proud to present 𝑾𝒊𝒔𝒉 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑾𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝑵𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒓, usof's latest album, which draws from 20th century composition, dub soundsystems, 1990s club/rave culture, cinematic sound design, post-cybernetic dreams, and the hauntological ache underlying much of 21st century discourse.

Between the exacting technicality and heady conceptual underpinnings of 𝑾𝒊𝒔𝒉 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑾𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝑵𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒓, usof also makes room for playfulness and humor. On 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘵, electronic gurgles and croaks converse above synth pads which would not be out of place on cassettes with titles like "Dolphin Magic" or "The Fairy Ring" that litter dusty corners of thrift stores. The dub bass theatrics on the title track are inflated to an absurd degree. These excursions from more formal and contemplative ambiances demonstrate usof's fully-realized world building skills. While 𝑾𝒊𝒔𝒉 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑾𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝑵𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒓 may seem brief at approximately 30 minutes, its breadth and depth invite many listenings.

"listening to yourself between kid and future point ideas,
that evolution that obsessive always me

lmaooo looking back on the passing of time, family, friends,
when it was already sometimes good but somehow

when you, us, them, we, where, were, you when we bridged

feeling already like you might be making what I’m thinking" - Seán Being

The word alisma is said to be a word of Celtic origin meaning « water », the habitat in which Alisma plantago-aquatica (a perennial flowering aquatic plant) grows. This album was composed thinking of all creatures living underwater, the ones that live above the surface and the others who live below in the depths of water. Each track is an ecosystem where those creatures live, communicate and dance together.

Mix / Interview Series


Folklore Tapes is an open-ended research project exploring the vernacular arcana of Great Britain and beyond; traversing the myths, mysteries, magic and strange phenomena of the old counties via abstracted musical reinterpretation and experimental visuals. The driving principle of the project is to bring the nation’s folk record to life, to rekindle interest in the treasure trove of traditional culture by finding new forms for its expression.
