With great joy we announce VALLEY001, a compilation of Valley family members that displays the versatility, power and most of all talent their community possesses. On the 2nd anniversary of the Valley Radio mix series we are able to celebrate a great coming together of people, motivated by passion and love. 
In this project Valley shows once again that they move rather like an organism than a static platform. Constructing an ever-evolving state influenced by the creative energy of its digital and social surroundings, Valley’s next shape will always be surprising yet familiarly touching. 
Treat yourself to a great variety of sounds with the debut compilation album and start your adventure of discovering the Valley.

◣ SWINE PREMIERE ◥ @katnzingha - "Solitude Shadow" from the debut album "Grind" that will be out on May 12th via @angeltribe-xtl

After releasing an EP called Angeltribe on London label TT in 2020, and a 2-song project Vorphic Skin on Toothgrinder Press in 2023, Kat Nzingha’s debut album Grind will be released on AngeltribeXTL on May 12th. Based in Philadelphia, Kat Nzingha is a multidisciplinary artist that explores experimentations with abstruse textures. By combining their innovative sculptural works with heavy low-end frequencies and celebratory tones they create blissfully cryptic sonic materials that are the extended bodies of modified objects of which they consistently fabricate.

Taken from Racine's new album 'Boue' (G&P026), out March 24, 2024

Gin&Platonic are pleased to welcome the Montreal based composer, producer and sound designer Julien Racine to their catalogue. Following up the Genot Centre record with Keru Not Ever as Corporation and the stunning solo albums on Danse Noire, we're now blessed to present his newest longplay 'Boue', simply translated from French as 'mud'.
___

Offshore it's foul weather.

I climbed down the stone steps of my two-storey tower to reach the shore. Anthracite. The steps are slow and precise; those of a new life apprehending itself in its fresh descent. I used to be a composer: 142 pieces of varying length mourn my career. Mostly for string quartet. I tried orchestrating percussion with tuba. To no avail. No albums, but individual pieces, yes, pieces that bled the contradictions of the world through sketches of bronze angels. I tried to compose it as well as I could: every day I'd add a new note, the next day I'd remove it. In this gap, between adding and removing, lay the beauty of the music. This is how I managed to compose the 142 pieces that today resonate in the belly of every betrayed.

Where was my mother when I was presenting these pieces to the world? In the emotion or indifference of the sound meadows? My mother, who bequeathed me her heart defect as an inheritance, all the better to avoid me? The heart I now have, — transplanted from a pig, whose vena cava is slightly smaller in diameter than the human average — leaving me gasping for breath when I climb the surrounding mountains? She sent me just one letter, too short, in which she told me she had gone to hear one of my pieces, the performance of which lasted 4 hours and 13 minutes, in Budapest: “Dear Pascalin, your piece performed at the Bela Bartok National Concert Hall reminds me of the day you were born, when we parted. This made me cry a little. Iˇm not being facetious, it's the truth. Suddenly your life appeared to me, in the music, as a morsel of forgotten evidence. Kisses. Madeleine.”

The rising air is pure.

As I reached the shore, I gave my hatred of music to the seagulls, which squawked at the shrill of my footsteps shuffling across the polished stones. Their music is close to mine, I thought. A great wind of a new day carried their polyphony to the storms of the open sea. Cantatas, arias and requiems, all at once, in the undulating rage of the horizon. This time I’m in is nasty, isn't it? Living with these seagulls that sing for no one. My pig’s heart is beginning to beat faster. This heart inside me that isn’t mine but makes me live. I take a metal chair that had been lying on the shore since last summer, and I sit on it. Look over there, she says. I pick up an abandoned driftwood branch, washed by the sea’s salt, and wave it in the air, signaling the rain’s slow arrival. A morsel of forgotten evidence, I silently think. Lately, good foul weather to compose anew.

Max Dahlhaus and Kronom team up for Unizone on “Trauma Tendrils” with remixes from Domizako and Ice_Eyes.

“Trauma Tendrils” lands with all the diplomacy of blunt force trauma. Both veteran producers trawl the deepest and darkest recesses of their personal brands of dystopia, settling on a chaotic course of textured experimentalism and distorted broken rhythms. It’s industrial techno that has dissected and reorganized its molecular structure. Tracks that simulate the experience of emerging from the primordial cyber cocoon. Caked in dirt, drenched in acid, mouth full of gristle. All that’s left to do is tear the feeding tubes out of your stomach, punch a hole through the membrane of your prison, and rush the sentinels. What’s the worst that could happen?

On EP opener “Frantic Solar”, a corrosive melodic motif swirls around kicks precision-engineered to shake the very core of the earth. Ashen voices and screeching machine wails round out the scene. Driving and cavernous, “Dozhdot” bursts through the speakers with bags of lawless energy. With explosive buzzes, unrelenting kicks, and barely a second to breathe, both producers drive their rhythmic framework into despotic territory. The two faster numbers of the foursome, “Tendrils” and “Losing Grip”, ramp up the drama and the sense of cinematic anticipation. Something’s around the corner but you don’t want to know what because it might be the last thing you ever see.

Domizako and Ice_Eyes both take on “Losing Grip”. Prague producer Domizako leans into the track’s tense atmosphere with a remix that is the sonic equivalent of a rolling boil. It’s understated and it’s deadly. Greek experimentalist Ice_Eyes turns the party dial up with a remix primed for the club. Prepare for big stabs and big polyrhythmic energy.

Trauma Tendrils is coming on May 22 2024 via Prague-based label UNIZONE

Teach me how to make suttin of it
I know I ain’t supposed to Covet
But I want it yeah I want it
Steel in my teeth feel the grief when I vomit
Struggle in the night got me staring at the stucko
And the dance of my mind chest tight like uh oh uh oh
I think I'm feeling good tho
Lick a bruised lip taste the hate on my cologne
Colon double backslash
I'm looking at a junkie turn his body into ash
You can pass the pipe carve my name on that glass
Thought we were tryna leave that in the past
Krass
But understood
Hope were good
Still spark the bud
Living on fine lines and cold wood hard to budge
Got me Feeling like the five of cups

Easier to trust when I know I'm in love
Easier to crush if u know he got the bug
Easier to push if I'm gassed off the touch
I just play my part

U need to lean on me and I can't be that
Need to run these scenes and I can't be that
Can't repeat the past so I can't be that.
Like a drug I just played my part where's the love in that man

Teach me how to lie
To my brother my slime
I don't mind
Show me how to make u mine
Can you kiss me right now
Or u just playing the sidelines
Break me down
Ur man's at home wow they sound so sublime

Livin that choked cough echo the thin wall reality
Broke down decor that don't match the salary
Take a stab at me calamity for free
Who am I to stop man just tryna eat
Fantastic feat to thrive these days
Slammin thru weekends more time these days
Can’t stay who lives here whose ways feel strange
Wanna place blame but you’re caught in a plague

Teach me how to lie
To my brother my slime
I don't mind
Show me how to make u mine
Can you kiss me right now
Or u just playing the sidelines
Break me down
Ur man's at home wow they sound so sublime

I cant be that, soz (prod. Ship Sket)
