GCA010 Banshee - Thought Bubbles EP

Taken from SBKT049: Osheyack - Intimate Publics
Release date: 8th June 2022

Intimate Publics, Osheyack’s second album, is an homage to Shanghai, the city he has called home since 2012. Over the past ten years the producer has evolved from an avid club-goer to a key member of the vital soundscape that emerged from ALL Club and its predecessor, the now defunct club The Shelter. As hinted by the title, which draws on American social theorist Michael Warner’s work on publics and counterpublics, the album expresses a commitment to mining the utopian potential of club music, forging new worlds and generating future social relations, just as the artist bids farewell to the city at a moment of uncertain transition. While tracks like 'Edging' and 'Thrall' continue to present his signature collage of harder club music, the rest of the record reveals a shift to synthetic approximations of acoustic instruments. 'Still', the central track of the album, is a piece composed almost entirely of samples found on Vocaloid (a vocal synthesizer developed by Yamaha, commonly used to give voice to Japanese virtual idols). While echoing themes explored in previous projects, like the nature of realism and authenticity in a techno-mediated landscape, Intimate Publics is charged with an unexpected emotional candor and vulnerability, unveiling a personal side Osheyack is only beginning to explore.

Introducing Thin End of The Wedge — the debut single from South London dj/producer ELEANOR featuring some of the first ever remixes from Washington DC supergroup Black Rave Culture (Amal, James Bangura, DJ Nativesun).

We met Elle online. She was one of the first people outside our immediate friend group to post nice things about Sorry Records and has been a huge source of motivation and support ever since — a practice she lends not only to us but countless other artists in the North American underground. Elle’s a dedicated head who honestly knows more about what’s good in the NYC scene than most people in it themselves. We couldn’t be happier to have her be our first ever Sorry Records release from a non American artist. And what an intro it is!! Thin End of The Wedge is a peak-time weapon of the highest degree; bursting with raw power and propulsive groove. Another certified Sorry Records big room Trojan Horse ripe for sweaty basements and summer festivals alike. 

Elle also hosts a monthly Rinse FM show where she presents the best in contemporary high-energy club music from both sides of the pond. Prior to joining Rinse FM, Elle contributed guest mixes to Mall Grab and Teki Latex's shows on the station, while her previous show on Bristol's 1020 Radio focused on rising stars from North America’s various club scenes - with previous guests including Baltra, KAYY DRiZZ, DJ Wawa, WTCHCRFT, OSSX's Equiss and Black Rave Culture's Amal and DJ Nativesun. 

Of course Black Rave Culture is the truth as well! Been obsessed with their fine-tuned, deep multi-genre mastery ever since their first release for MoMa Ready’s Haus of Altr. We actually booked them for the first time in NYC nearly two years ago to celebrate the release of that debut LP at Bossa Nova Civic Club for a stream during the reopening when dancing was a no go. Since then they’ve been rocking parties everywhere from Dweller Festival at Nowadays to Contact in Tokyo and Sustain-Release Year 8; sharing bills with legends such as Juan Atkins, DJ Stingray, Moodymann, Timmy Regisford, Rick Wilhite, Sherelle, and Carl Craig

Collectively and individually — Amal, James Bangura, and DJ Nativesun have produced some of the finest tracks in recent memory for labels such as Inciensio, World Building, Banoffee Pies, Towhead Recordings, Mister Saturday Night Records, 3024, ROOM, Art-E-Fax, !K7, Haus of Altr, and Ghostly. So glad to have not one but two (!!) slamming remixes from the Black Rave Culture crew on this project.

ELEANOR - Thin End of The Wedge (Black Rave Culture Freak Mix)

Drums of Utopia is the new project from MIF Sounds artist Obeka, a collaborative LP that celebrates the connectivity of lives, environments and music culture across different corners of the world.

Drawing on his own journey of discovery, the mini-album was developed during his MIF Sounds residency and features dynamic sounds from a number of countries, including guest appearances from artists such as Mexico’s Ultima Esuna now based in Montreal, South Africa‘s Mxshi Mo, Swedens Bobo, and Brazilian-Amazon native Kid From Amazon.

In Obeka’s own words, “Over the past decade my migration and discovery of global sound-system culture has shown me how important understanding and connectivity of our lives are. Music, alongside present-past sounds from our surroundings and experiences can be channeled so much more and is one of our most vital tools for unity in today’s world. Drums of Utopia aims to use this action to its fullest degree.”

Track by @wulffluw94 taken from Expiation VA, out October 8, 2020, via @sacrilejiorecords.

Pre-order: bit.ly/3naYUkH

"Sacrilejio Records introduces "Expiation", the 14-track debut compilation which features 16 artists. These artists descontruct traditional latinx music combinating with electronic sounds and tools.
"Expiation", which was inspired by mistycal thinking and popular devotional culture from our Sacrilejio members, shows an original act of extinguishing mortal sins and danger vibes in our souls through music, like tools or objects that can discipline our encrypted and non-purified lives.
Connecting our broken relationships with our spirits is gonna be the solution to obtain forgiveness."

Premiere: WULFFLUW XCIV - Kutofaulu [Sacrilejio Records]
