Taken from Ludwig Wandinger's sophomore album 'Spiritual Decay' (G&P022), out September 2022

The name of many talents - Ludwig Wandinger - has been echoing in the experimental scene for quite some time. This comes as no surprise, as the already renowned Berlin based polymath channels his full-time effort partly into playing live drums, producing his and other people’s music and creating multidisciplinary visual art. Following multifaceted solo projects on labels Average Negative/Alpha Pup Records and Orange Milk Records, Gin&Platonic are delighted to present Ludwig's exceptional sophomore full-length album 'Spiritual Decay'.

Bringing on the cold rush, seven tracks, all 3:33 long, Hajj’s sound is among the most distinctive in his field on ‘No Soul, No God, No Devil, No Existence’. Influenced by Marian Dora's 2009 film 'The Angels' Melancholia', the album is perhaps best defined by the stark negative ecstasy of its highlight ‘Drag Me Into the Void’, presenting Hajj as a master of collage-like structure, in possession of a compelling grasp of atmosphere. It stands out from much of the contemporary french music we’re aware of for its oblique rejection of club muscularity in favour of more unusual, weightless pressure and suggestively gestural arrangements. That’s not to say it’s not ripe for certain moments in the club, it just doesn’t give them readily.

Beginning like Biosphere doing dankest road rap with DJ Lostboi (anyone checked that Nedarb cut lurking on Æ’s Bandcamp purchase list yet?) in ‘Our Lady of Darkness’, he holds an immaculately dark-but-lush appeal from the K-hole nightmare of ‘Loosing U 4 Ever’ to the cosmic plangency of ‘Vox Tenebrae’, meting out discomfiting intro rap like a fantasy Croww x Ronce in ‘Heaven’s Calamity’, and like Spectre x Pan Daijing in ‘Do U Remember Bein Born’, while his ear for saliva-inducing textures comes to fruition on the voyeuristic vortex of ‘Burning Illusions’, perfectly distilling the cold rush on an original mix of the glorious ‘Drag Me Into the Void’.

Do U Remembr Bein Born ?

@jamesk_1 tugs hard on the heart strings for @tobago-tracks' new guitar-focused compilation.

Achingly beautiful stuff from a comp bowing at the altar of the axe. From fret-burners and dive-bombers to billowing introspection, ‘Through the Fire and Flames’ is a homage to guitar music in the broadest sense.

Poised between romantic allure and forlorn abstraction, the multidisciplinary pop fantasist turns out some sublime, heart-on-sleeve shoegaze.

‘Through the Fire and Flames’ is out June 9th on TT.

Infant joins Warm Winters Ltd. with “sigla, sone”, an album of strikingly personal and diaristic sound postcards. It’s an album conveying the most intimate of moments and memories, encapsulating the feelings of entanglement and interdependence. The Michigan-based producer utilises various field recordings from his personal archives (sounds of a burning garage, conversations, Lake Michigan waves, crunching beach shells, starlings nesting in a bathroom vent…) alongside various treatments of the human voice and reworked/resampled work of his to create music that’s both tender and unassuming, as well as fascinating and complex. The whimsical and the deeply touching sit side by side on an album that exhibits the magic of what ambient music can mean in 2023.

A few excerpts of the soundscapes I designed for Dara Beth's heartfelt and witty stage play 'all my ex-lovers are dead':

A selected text for Artscape’s New Voices Programme in 2021 and STAND Foundation’s Pen To Paper Programme in association with NATi and Vrystaat Kunstefees in 2022, ‘all my ex-lovers are dead’ was written slowly, over the course of six years–pieced together from scrap paper prose scribbled at the edges of receipts, woven together with unfinished voice memos saved on and downloaded from multiple phones, and laced with more internal monologues than any single person should allow themselves to indulge in.

The 2024 National Arts Festival rendition is performed by Qondiswa James.
