Napoli-based Montreal artist CECILIA presents her ﬁrst full-length album, Adoration, out May 4th 2018 on digital formats and limited edition gold coloured vinyl. The 33minute, 10-track LP follows last year’s visual EP Charity Whore, released on Yves Tumor’s Grooming Label. CECILIA is the dissociative metamorphosis of multidisciplinary artist Mélissa Gagné, whose practice spans music, video, installation, performance and theatre. Active in Montreal, New York and now based in Italy, she recently collaborated on two songs on Les Fleurs du Mal, the latest album from Halcyon Veil founder Rabit. Her musical output under previous DJ/producer alias Babi Audi includes harrowing electronic releases Club Dead LTD (Hoss Records, 2015) and Mommy Dust (self-released, 2015) as well as the visual concept mix 6 Page Letter (DIS magazine, 2016). Gagné is also the creator of hybrid stage works, notably Nailed High (Mutek, 2017) and Sochi Snow (Sight & Sound, 2015). Adoration is her most reﬁned, delicately crafted effort to date. Entirely written, composed and produced by CECILIA, Adoration is a lucid-dream immersion into a state of deep, personal interiority. The album’s 10 experimental tracks move through a desolate soundscape, hollowed out yet humid with emotion. Here, in this phantasmagoria, loss and romanticism commingle.  Wielding bare-essence fragments of synth, guitar and beat improvisations, polyglot vocalizations from original poems and ﬁlm samples, CECILIA creates a distilled language of tactile sound and intimate utterance. The album’s evocative textures are arranged with devastating restraint and speciﬁcity- muted plucked strings, hobbled beats, a metallic trill, a wobbly horn line, sirens wailing in dialogue; some gather the substance of leitmotif. And all the while, threading through Adoration is the female voice. Breathless, plaintive, incantatory, in French, English and Italian we hear from the artist, her friend Jasmine Pisapia, the poet, activist and prostitute Grisélidis Réal, the actress Jeanne Moreau : a ventriloquy act by CECILIA. “You are in a psychic chamber and premonitory voices reach you from all sides. The album is an inner dialogue one must have with oneself but also a conversation one must have with the most malicious interlocutor. One is summoned to whisper truth and beauty to demon ears.”

UNBOUND FOREVER (ft. Krasio 'Kristala')

Yu Yu x Infinite Machine V/A is a collaboration whose result is a compilation of 14 tracks designed for the dance floor; solid, functional and esoteric. This is a selection of tracks produced by Mexican artists involved in the Club movement from different cities in Mexico, all of them with a conceptual and geographical separation, but with common features that synthesize the essence of the national scene.

Definitive proof of the maturity of the Club scene in Mexico, this compilation is born as an initiative by the most important venue in the capital of Mexico: Yu Yu, which joins forces with the pioneering label Infinite Machine to curate this compilation. An avant-garde ensamble of projects which aims to exhibit a shared imagination through the unification of different styles and music genres. All of this comes from the perspective of Yu Yu's resident, Mexico City-based label, Infinite Machine. A label that has a direct correlation with the global club scene.

This effort also has the goal to financially support the artists involved due to the delicate situation we are going through. As they are part of Yu Yu's community, which is unfortunately closed at the moment. Artists involved from the likes of Nico, AAAA, Microhm with worldwide recognition to up and coming artists like Benfika, OMAAR, CNDSD and the current, most fresh national acts like Loris, KOI and El Irreal Veintiuno. Among other key pieces of national electronics, united in this soundscape of volatile frequencies.

1. El irreal Veintiuno - Demagogia
2. Turning Torso - Los Dos
3. Benfika - Torrente
4. AAAA - Phased Flashing On a Building
5. Microhm - Kyoke
6. Viiaan - Garble
7. OMAAR - Sabe
