Taken from paszka's new album 'lapton' (G&P023), out February 26, 2023

It's been no secret that Poland marks as one of Europe's most significant melting pots of electronic computer music. Hand in hand with prominent festivals, adventurous labels, and the overall vivid culture of the niche genre, the country's breeding ground has raised countless talented and innovative up-and-coming producers. Having released music under his former moniker 'rużaw' as well as various projects including his widely acclaimed album 'Gluon' already as 'paszka' via Noumenal Loom, performing at Unsound and often collaborating with his partner or peers, the Krakow's very own Szymon Sapalski already is an established name among the ever-flourishing local matrix. Named after the word 'laptop' repeatedly misspelled by his friend's grandma, paszka now presents his follow-up longplay 'lapton' via Gin&Platonic.

On lapton, paszka has achieved to graft fierce rhythms and defragmented particles of contemporary pop music onto his signature hyper manic and rigorous sound design. But where the quirky record kinda innocently starts as lanparty-gone-goofy-by-personal-computers-taking-over-their-masters-playlistst and beyond a CPU-overload-from-granny's-healthresort-vacation-powerpoint-photocollection, it suddenly slows down onto jovial sketch of Goofy the Dog's presentation of approximate 5-year prediction of development of global prices of uranium, then 'lapton' quickly speeds up and darkens onto a mighty-microtonalism-motherboard-epilepsy, a melodramatic-bluescreen-glitchcore-blues. Shattered to many directions yet strangely coherent, paszka's fastidious music remains both geeky and candidly ludicrous.

PREMIERE //>> other islands -  back yard

@nozagam is a solo project by French experimental-club producer Etienne Zastko who takes a bleak view of a destructive Anthropocene Epoch, in which “utopias can’t exist and we’ve lost our way in our blind devotion to technology”. The album pieces together a chronology of catastrophic events. A fictionalized soundtrack to humankind’s end-cycle. The abrasive textures and suffocating atmosphere immerse us into a total universe where everything that could have gone wrong has. Affirmations and tech bro optimism didn’t quite cut it. And if those disembodied voices that sporadically reach out are the survivors, that’s not good news.

The visual aesthetic of Zagam is one of fusion, a medieval plague doctor mask with a 23rd-century twist. “Anthropocene” mines a similarly disparate set of influences, spanning an evermore hybridized clubspace. Gqom, grime, industrial techno, footwork: everything is fair game. The rich musical background and hard sonic palette of Zagam make for a perfect match for the hybrid electronics approach of Unizone.

ZAGAM - NO MESSING (B E N N REMIX)

Taken from SBKT058: Nahash - A Snake In Your House
Release date: 21st June 2023

Nahash returns to SVBKVLT with ‘A Snake In Your House’, a 4-track club EP, including collaborations with XXLAB’s Elise Massoni and dOP’s JAW, and packaged with two deadly remixes from Tim Reaper and Brodinski.

‘’ A snake came into your house, he said it was just to talk. A snake always has an agenda, it’s never just to talk. He crawled around and criticized your art and your lifestyle. The snake brought an apple pie and didn’t share any. He talked of the days in Eden, the time of plenty. He talked of his time in the court of the emperor Davide IX. He shed his skin and overstayed his welcome. He came to steal your land and chase away your friends and family. When you invite a snake in your house keep a broom close, he might never leave’’

Nahash - Illuminato

The 33rd release of katharsis is the EP “unearthed, recovered” by the Canadian artist online threat. This release pulls from the dissociated feeling of re-discovering artifacts of remembrance that were once thought to be forever lost, and finding a glimmer of hope as a result. The project accesses a flurry of genres - hard trance, noise, and ambient all find a place here, packing contradicting sounds together in order to birth new sonic possibilities. “unearthed, recovered” is emotional, grotesque and at moments beautiful with its sense of longing and melancholy, a crescendo of tensions followed by an exhale.

On this release, online threat excavates the hidden sonic potentialities of field recordings, samples and synthesis, borrowing their voices to spin immersive narrative tales through his stream-of-consciousness improvisational method. The EP is the artist's third release, following the EP “Memories of Dawns Lost” and the full album “Contrapuntal Transfiguration” on labels surf and Absurd TRAX, besides a couple of self-released tracks and mixfiles. The artwork was made by Matej Mihevc (@h.265_/) who framed and contextualized a painting by Victoria Palacios (@victoriapalacios_), reflecting the sense of decay and reminiscence that the album thematizes.

Where is my mind (Hardtekk)

Know V.A.: Hibernation (Knives)
Release date: 6th November, 2020

Knives follow this Summer’s Kuedo OST release with a club tool EP from DJ / producer duo, Know V.A. 

'Hibernation' traces ecstatic elements from the hard dance music familiar to their formative experience growing up in Holland, and fuses them with more UK leaning frameworks of late 90s techstep and late 00s vaporous grime, forming an ode to the romantic nostalgia of a shared club experience. Across the 5 tracks on 'Hibernation', Know V.A. set baroque string and choral arrangements into orbit around a hypnotic meandering of fierce gabber stabs and chattering percussion - at once reminiscent of both devine, classical ceremony and flailing club experience, drenched in sweat.

Know V.A. have performed internationally for a range of promoters and venues, such as Boiler Room and Stedelijk Museum. They curate the event and club night ‘Strange Days’, which seeks to showcase contemporary hardcore experimentalism and explore how the genre, sonically and visually has remained active in the underground. Their soundtrack work includes music for Calvin Klein and the acclaimed hardcore documentary 'Thunderdome Never Dies'. 

A collaborative artwork for the project is provided in the form of an emblem designed by artist Nicholas Law, subsequently animated by Winston Duke.

As of 2020 Knives is an independent project, now separate from any parent label.
