Dissemblance

Dreamy and alluring, Dissemblance’s distinct compositions are suspended somewhere between introspective melancholia and the shadowy edges of the human soul. Her debut album Over the Sand’s (Mannequin Records, 2019) artful blend of different genres makes it one of the finest releases in the contemporary synth wave scene. Drawing inspiration from a universe made from asperity, she uses drum machines, enigmatic vocals, solid basslines, and field recordings to play with the unexpected. Dissemblance recorded a mix for us, in which she takes us on a journey through the various stages of her life that shaped her musical taste, from early raves in France to Karlheinz Stockhausen’s experimental work. At the same time, it can serve as an invitation to her live performance for the next Intergalactic FM Festival, as well as her forthcoming second album.

INTERVIEW & TRACKLIST

Endless Illusion Mix #38 | Dissemblance

We're incredibly pleased to welcome Dissemblance to the GF series. She is a very talented and poetic artist that the entire GF team have been following for a while and had the pleasure of meeting in person at Intergalactic FM fest this year. You can check her lauded album “Centauresse” on the mighty L.I.E.S. records, following up her 2019 debut album "Over The Sand" for Mannequin Records. Her productions bring a variety of sounds and invite us to explore the full range of her musical dynamics, leading the listener into her universe where the border between dreams and reality blurs into one, with no tangible beginning or end. If you happen to be in Paris on Friday, December 8th, do not miss her Dissemblance Live at Petit Bain to enjoy the full experience. For the series, she has crafted a special session where she gives us a unique and magical mix out of her studio in Paris, incorporating exclusive vocals and Rhodes improvisations over 80 beautiful minutes of thoughtful and sensory music. She plays tracks from the 80s: Schleimer K, DZ Lectric & Anthon Shield, taking a funky turn with Girl Unit, to arrive to some dirty acid music by Beverly Hills 808303, ending with a solo rough Rhodes impro through the Moog Cluster Flux pedal. This mix is literally a special journey through a solid selection, poetic vocals and inventive jams. Don't take our word for it: Lock in!

We have Mowgli on the series this sunny autumn day. A true digger completely surrounded by vinyl during his Pinkman record store days, the Rotterdam-based selector is known for packing a crate with minimal wave, proto-EBM, unknown boogie and the noisier edges of Chicago house and early techno. Powered by Pontoon Bookings, he makes up regular appearances across the country including PIP, Blijdorp Festival, Poing, BIT, RadioRadio, Skatecafe & Weelde, and many others. With upcoming shows in Utrecht, Amsterdam and more, it's a perfect time to hear what to expect. Lock in for an hour plus of solid grooves expertly selected by Mowgli.

We continue the GF series this week with one of the pillars of the Dutch electro scene, none other than DJ Overdose. Hailing from The Hague and based in Rotterdam, his story starts in the eighties. His vision was to create a vibe “where the subs are devastating and the beats are raw". He underpins his work with booming Miami bass and draws on his love for 80s hip-hop to conjure up his signature style. He's etched his mark on deeply loved and respected labels such as L.I.E.S., Creme Organization, Bordello A Parigi, Pinkman, Viewlexx, Murder Capital, his own RotterHague, and many others. Famously dexterous in the booth, DJ Overdose has well-honed skills that make him able to tear up a larger stage or connect with a more intimate crowd. He graces this series with a two-and-a-half-hour live recording at the Down The Rabbit Hole festival. Lock in!'

The GF series is back this week with Ayshel. The young, Athens-based DJ is part of the Stegi Radio team and hosts her show CALL NOW for over four years. Her show features artists such as Pi Electronics resident Zorz, LVRIN, and others. When she's not playing Athens staples like Astron Bar, which sadly closed, she has been making the rounds at festivals like Healthy Summer Fest and others. Her selections are located somewhere between tribal beats, hypnotic melodies and industrial sounds. Her mix is no exception. Lock in for an hour from one of Athens' hottest up-and-coming DJs.

Paris based Dissemblance aka Mathilde Mallen has a wide and enduring love of music. Classically trained on the cello from the age of seven Mallen went on to teach herself bass guitar playing in rock bands such as Fessée and Wild Horses. A musician first Mallen has been collecting vinyl for almost twenty years whilst her writing, arrangements, performances and productions have witnessed release on variety of labels over the past fifteen years. Dissemblance is the latest personification of Mallen’s talent and hears the work of the previous years distilling into something distinct and hauntingly beautiful. Dissemblance has constructed an idiosyncratic podcast for us which can only be born of someone with such depth of musical experience. We managed to swap electronic signals to discuss a little of Dissemblance’s musical background, dream collaborations and the inspirations behind her new album, ‘Over The Sand’.
