Fragments of an aborted recording session at Battery Sound NYC in 1986 which brought together fledgling rapper Mark Sinclair--today better known as the actor Vin Diesel--and avant composer/dance music maven Arthur Russell in a project midwifed by Gary Lucas, who discovered Mark Sinclair rapping and break-dancing on the streets of the West Village, and greenlighted by Geoff Travis of Rough Trade Records and Barry Feldman of Upside/Logarhythm records. 

"I'm the Man of Steel" the teenage Sinclair asserts, foreshadowing his stellar ascent as a worldwide action movie hero ("Triple XXX", "Pitch Black", and most recently the #1 box office hit "Fast Five")-- but even Diesel is no match for Arthur's crafty diabolical beats, which keep dropping "the one" out from under him, breaking up Sinclair's delivery and eventually rendering the session useless.

"It's the white part of me fucking it up!"
--Mark Sinclair at the recording session

Torus opens the gates of heaven in the latest YEAR0001 SOUNDS mix.

Torus is the alias of Dutch multidisciplinary artist Joeri Woudstra. He has spent the last decade creating an intoxicating sound world, gaining an unmatched virtuosity for collecting, modifying, and repackaging the fluttering pulse of reality.

Sex Mix 021: Fatshaudi

@merely is a Swedish singer and producer known for her versatile, emotionally rich sound. She seamlessly blends crystalline vocals with ethereal instrumentals, creating a style that falls somewhere between ambient trance and chamber pop—evoking a vast, tranquil atmosphere reminiscent of the misty Nordic coastline. Her lyrics resonate deeply, stirring misty eyes and clear hearts, and guiding listeners down dreamy, flirtatious paths into worlds they long to enter.

Her latest project, Essential Mixtape, a collaboration with French ambient artist Malibu, was released on YEAR0001 in November 2024, drawing listeners into even deeper meditative realms.

Forever Young

Betty Hammerschlag - My Wayyy

Copenhagen based producer oqbqbo (@oqbqbo) weaves ambient, euphoric dance music that feels both otherworldly and oddly familiar - a sonic realm where eurodance memories flicker through the haze of contemporary club music. Wordless vocals haunt her tracks like half-remembered dreams, not telling stories, but becoming an instrument of emotional texture rather than narrative clarity.

Since 2019, oqbqbo has been part of the world around Posh Isolation. Her work moves between solo pieces and collaborations - recently with Scandinavian Star on "In This Together" an album released in April 2025.

TRIGGER BANG BANG (bankruptcy~dub)

At last year’s Opening Party at Unsound Kraków, DJ E (aka Chuquimamani-Condori) showcased their distinct hyper-charged sound. Narrowing it down to genres is pretty impossible, but there are fragments of Andean folk, cumbia and country music ballads, often carefully layered with a bunch of soundboard-effects. The result is a classic DJ E set. Many of the tracks played here were recently included in the almost 2-hour long collection Edits, which you can pick up on Chuquimamani-Condori’s Bandcamp page.
