SLIKBACK X JJJACOB - PROTEAN GEM

Available on cassette at https://causalchain.bandcamp.com/album/oko

oko is laced’s sophomore EP under her new moniker, which takes a new path compared to her previous noise explorations. Drawing inspiration from ambient music, dreampop, video game and anime soundtracks, breakbeat and IDM, the music conveys a dream world where the artist tends to escape in. The EP was produced over the course of 2021 since laced’s 2020 MUTEK performance in Montreal, taking a melodic approach in contrast to her more percussive productions. oko is best consumed under a pile of warm blankets or under the rain, its energy being one of catharsis, contemplation, healing and dreaming.

laced - Angel

co-released with SODAA Club, 3 Swords Republic, Hard Return, HI-NRG, New Scenery, Sly Tone, and TOO MUCH INFORMATION !!

We're happy to contribute to this special release organized by SODAA Club, to support their activity with a selection of tracks from their compilation, curated by members of the Global URL Nation  (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)

+++
SODAA Club is a community developing a decentralised governance model for a music & arts venue in London.

Their first release explores the foundations of their own sound - with members and friends of their commmunity, the 31-track compilation is "genreless and fluid, self-organised and bottom-up."

Inspired by the decentralised release of Alkisah by Senyawa, any label sharing similar values could release their own version : "the artists and the labels participating in this compilation believe in a more equitable and collaborative future for our scenes, one guided by principles of solidarity economy, distributed decision-making, and the rejection of capitalist notions of culture, music and space."

+++
The profits will be split between the artists and SODAA, as a way to raise funds for their long-term goals, with a part going to the labels for their help.

If you want to support the project further, you can also donate via Open Collective : opencollective.com/sodaaclub

so recently i feel like everything is fresh and constantly being born anew, but at the same time everything is coming to an end . . .
and maybe that’s why this obscure, juicy, deconstructed reggaeton jeremixyz debut resonates with me so deeply and seems just like a perfect first chapter of BFF Music adventure.

⌛. . . ♪

despite being precisely painted with a dense, mutated, biomechanical sound design it still maintains a fleshy, emotional narration constantly jumping from abstract neoperreo to uplifting trance, from disintegrating samples to pop melodies and from dark, posthuman eclectism to comforting guilty pleasure.
i love it *_____*

⌛. . . . . . . . . ♪

jeremixyz is all about decay and fluidity so each of the two singles got its remix.
Yvu aka Yan Higa (based in São Paulo) built a spacious soundscape that sounds like it was torn from the heart of H. R. Giger (🕯️).
julek ploski aka Juliek Płoski (that’s me xd) built a bombastic epic collage story marrying trance with a tavern dance.

jeremixyz - xyz2 (Yvu Remix)

The twelfth edition of the DISPLAYSOLO series finds the London-based artist, Mirror Organs sculpting two eyes-down ambient rollers suited as much for late night urban wanderings as they are a dark, sub-frequency filled club. Both tracks meld floaty synths and ice cold atmospheres with churning, cyclical low end rhythms, creating a blend that's ultimately just as much hypnotic as it is dynamic.

Mirror Organs - Be The Same Again

The 40th release of katharsis is the EP “Life is Hard” by Malle Voss coming out on April 10th. Following up on his debut release “Death is Easy” on Blue Tapes from 2022, the artist expands his musical pilgrimage into pure and spiritual affection in chaotic and dark territory. By using emotion in a structural way, the 6 tracks portray deep truths of overcoming struggle and turning nonsense into meaning. The tracks work like dark botanical angel artifacts, each with its rituals and prayers of death motivation and enlightenment through hardship. The range of sentiments covers everything from both beauty and joy to aggression and ecstasy, in its messy-by-design style of maximalist minimalism.

Malle Voss - Off White Empties

my old pc broke down two weeks ago - so I bought a new one and felt like starting an album project from scratch, which turned in to this fun little album inspired by recent road trip around tasmania :))

Alpha Maid - CHUCKLE

Cat.No: CANVAS010

Alpha Maid - SUM1  (VIDEO):
https://thewire.co.uk/video/watch-alpha-maid-sum1

Pre-order available at canvas-index.bandcamp.com/album/chuckle

CHUCKLE is the first solo release by Leisha Thomas as Alpha Maid on the C.A.N.V.A.S. label, following a contribution to the recent Apocope compilation LP. The signature Alpha Maid genre prevails—the sincere, strong vocal style, aligned with a UK indignant and iconoclastic artistic lineage, set against dredging, grungy instrumentals reminiscent of North American open plains or urban sprawl. As if desert rock had occurred in mundane and claustrophobic South London rather than the Southern States. Alpha Maid observes and reflects on an urban, smoggy, UK surrounding, although appears to drive through it on an open interstate highway in a really wide car.

Alpha Maid's vocals vacillate between sometimes candid, close and unclouded, then drifting towards fragmentary, cutting and pasting in the manner of unstable media or limited bandwidth.

Opening with a quote—found footage from broadcasted media—‘i knew the figures’, pointing to a setting of British media harassment and scrutiny, WOWOWOW conveys amazement and disbelief, faced with the bare and flagrant injustices of the time and place. Vocals are swallowed by the cavernous reverberation, while slow paced stoner rock-like drifting instrumentals amble underneath.

CHUCKLE follows Alpha Maid's debut EP Spy, released via the ever-transforming collective and label CURL, of which Alpha Maid is a member, alongside the founders Coby Sey, Mica Levi and Brother May. Whilst Spy expressed revulsion in the face of creeping surveillance and the increasingly concealed and deceptive nature of power, CHUCKLE embodies the spirit of internal disorientation and realisations, exacerbated by a backdrop of social crises and injustices reaching levels beyond our grasp or comprehension.

Electronic interventions, eclectic instrumentation and found footage intersperse Alpha Maid's trademark sound. Brief interludes reminiscent of Scandinavian metal themes, undistorted but purveying doom—opening MILD WEATHER and closing NEWLY WOKE & THOUGHT PROVOKED—contribute to the creation of an atmosphere of eerie dread. Within that, there is regular respite to be found—NEWLY WOKE & THOUGHT PROVOKED feels light, rural, nearly folk, delivered with clarity of mind and of pace amongst the otherwise smoggy and moody overlying theme of the EP. The title of the track, however points to a familiar context of confusion amongst cosmopolitan and globalised socio-political contagion. NEWLY WOKE & THOUGHT PROVOKED, in harmony with the nature of the whole release, is fresh, melodically simple, optimistic and yet suspended within a murky atmosphere of cataclysm and wonder.
