Contacto - Living Like This

Domestic Exile warmly welcome the return of Grim Lusk, coming full circle to follow up 2018’s ‘SUNP0101’ after releasing under their Dip Friso and Sunny Balm aliases in the interim. ‘Diving Pool’ is a hallucinogenic concoction of marshy, aquatic, oscillated dubs and skittering, microtonal beat experiments. Grim Lusk's signature production style is in full effect, often occupying some liminal space nearing offbeat discordancy, but beautifully pulling together on the brink.

Gelatinous machine funk rhythms and sweet, syrupy dub bass ooozing with a vibrant convergence of bright psychedelic greens, yellows and oranges, akin to bubbling sulphur pools and lava lakes, are present throughout the 6 tracks; Nuovo takes late 80’s drum machine patterns and twists them up with rough-cut vocal chops and long-form sampling of a 60’s film on the first iteration of ‘​​Il Gruppo”. Striding into the turbulent sea, Partans is kept jovial by rim shots, cymbals and snares fed back over the forward bass buzz. Not Enough is a bizarre, primordial, stretched-out gloop sludge half-speed version of the B-side track Too Much, twisted into new rhythmic territory by an off-kilter breakbeat sample.

Diving Pool takes crushed, bouncing drum machines and loop-focussed experimentation to find incidental interplay between the two, whilst somehow retaining ebullient make-you-movable gusto. Angular rhythm and zealous sample manipulation seep through in Too Much, live drums patched, extrapolated and pulled further out in the mix, where jump cuts between familiar vocal chops and distorted tape delay contort manically- a warped, swinging echo of Slum Village's ‘I Don’t Know’. Wazoo rounds things out with the most club-leaning moment of the record, a saturated, throbbing atmosphere hanging over a beat-up, lurching drum sample layered with malleable pitched percussion and fuzz guitar.

Peculiar shapes, fragmented shards of rhythmic patterns, crushed, crystallised snares, and congealed, jelly-like dubs; the music embodies a sense of carefree fun and playfulness, where dissolving layers of organic echoes, warm, slippery reverbs, and expansive phaser EFX stretch out into nebulous space…

Grim Lusk 'Diving Pool' *CLIPS* -  released 29/08/2022

@lolina_relaxin

For the title track of her album “Fast Fashion” (Deathbomb Arc, 2021), Lolina cut up videos of Nicolas Ghesquière’s Balenciaga Fall 2007 and Spring 2010 runway shows to create a new audio composition. She continues this experiment in DJ sets and mixes: “Fashion Moment 1999”, a collage of Tom Ford’s Gucci Spring and Fall 1999 runway soundtracks (mix for NTS 10 Curated by Arca, 2021); “Spring Summer Fall Winter” mixing soundtracks to Christophe Decarnin’s Balmain 2008 and 2009 fashion shows (DJ set at Avalon Cafe, London, 2022); and “Nothing In This World Is Free”, a mix for C minus using music to Alber Elbaz’s 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2011 collections for Lanvin (recorded live at Soup, Manchester, 2023).

Lolina - Nothing In This World Is Free

Rounding up the best tracks from Cordelia Records' quietly influential compilation series, which scoured the backrooms, dusty crates, and defunct studios of the world in search of oddball art pop, DIY rock, synth experiments, and other amateur musical ephemera.

Some tell endless stories; some speak in music. Musicians have different ways of discussing their art and the latest host of The EDWIN Music Channel, TBZ is a man of few words. Instead, his music speaks a thousand languages.

If you want to remember how it sounded like in 2010, this Playlist by 25 years & running (@25-years-running) is perfect. This used to be a cool Paris based promo agency. I’m not nostalgic when it comes to music, but I really miss the freshness of the indie pop / electro / chill wave scene  from those years.
