Antwood (a.k.a. Canada's Tristan Douglas) returns to Planet Mu with his second album 'Sponsored Content'. The album is more reflective than his debut, last year's 'Virtuous.scr'. The relentless mood of the first album has given way to a more melodic, stripped out sound. It still shakes with speed and energy, but with more space, more moments of delicate sadness and strange cyborg pop. What comes to the fore in 'Sponsored Content' is Tristan's gift for melody, coupled with the uncanny feeling that somehow his strange music is an entire ecosystem of it’s own. It's best explained by Tristan himself:

"This record was made during a very challenging year. Some of these challenges were for the best, some were not, most were both, others were neither. The music is inextricably tied to these events, whether I like it or not, and I’ve begun peeking out from behind my self-imposed veil of heavy conceptualization; revealing things about myself that my previous album Virtuous.scr didn’t."   "In the past year, I found that ASMR, which I had previously used as a source of foley in my music, was a fairly effective sleep aid. I’d been using the videos in this way for a few months, when I noticed a popular ASMR YouTuber announced a plan to incorporate ads into her videos; quiet, subtle ads, woven into the content. What bothered me about this was that these ads would target viewers, such as myself, during times of semi lucid vulnerability. This disturbed me, and I unsubscribed."

"Sponsored Content explores this idea of subversive advertisement, at least superficially. It’s obviously about the ubiquity of ads and the commodification of online content. The unlikely placement of ads in the music aims to force the listener to become hyper-aware of being advertised to rather than passively internalizing it. But after the record was finished, it became undeniable that really it wasn’t so much a “concept record” about advertisement; it’s as much about intentionally devaluing the things I’ve invested myself into, and over-complicating my work. When I realized this, I considered taking the ads out, and playing the music straight. But I left the record as it is: honest, flawed, with a little humour, and slightly up its own ass."

"I collaborated with El Popo Sangre (a.k.a. Paulin Rogues) for the visuals after he showed me his short film “Fantasy” which used several tracks from Virtuous.scr. He and his team at UNICORN added a depth to the project I could never have done on my own."

Antwood - Wait For Yengi

After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, American DJ Richard went on to set up White Material. It’s a label and artistic collective including the likes of Young Male that became synonymous with roughed up, frayed house and techno. In 2015, Richard served up a debut album on Dial that was a deep meditation on foggy, ambient coated house drones. Since then, aside from DJ gigs round the world, he has been rather quiet in terms of releases. 

That means this podcast from him is timely indeed, and shows us just where he is at: serving up jagged rhythms, industrial cold wave cuts and bleak, grainy atmospheres that are devoid of human life if not for the odd dehumanised vocal yelps and pained cry. It’s fizzing, mid tempo but engaging stuff that is underpinned by a tension and darkness that always keeps you intrigued.

Following a pair of head-turning releases for the Mannequin label, Spanish techno explorer JASSS will soon be releasing her debut album, 'Weightless.' Scheduled to arrive via Swedish outpost Ideal Recordings on September 18, we debuted the LP's ominously slithering title track on Red Bull Radio's First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.

The Death of Our Invention

Birds of Passage - Without the World

Second Woman is the collaborative project featuring Turk Dietrich of Belong and Joshua Eustis of Telefon Tel Aviv. 

Josh and Turk have been friends for over 17 years, having met in New Orleans in the late ’90s through mutual friend and future collaborator, Charlie Cooper. The duo have been working on music together on and off since that time.

The concept of Second Woman began with the idea of taking tropes from footwork, dub, house, and techno, and twisting these ideas into something kaleidoscopically liberated from the grid. 
Their work first materialized with two LP’s and an EP on John Elliott and Peter Rehberg’s Spectrum Spools. 

Second Woman tweak the perception of time and space within the audio field into something ASMR-inducing and ultimately satisfying to listen to. Both Josh and Turk experience ASMR in response to certain rhythms and sounds, and effort was made to incorporate these triggers into the music, hopefully for other people to experience as well. 

With Instant / Apart, Second Woman present their complete signature sound as well as a new, more measured dimension to their work.

Pale Blue is an electronic duo that we constantly enjoy hearing from. As the collaborative production alias of Elizabeth Wight and Mike Simonetti, the pair brings a very particular breed of electronic music to the playing field that touches base on ambient, techno, acid, drone and shoegaze. It's a perfectly co-arranged marriage between the power of spoken words, a strong vocal reach and impeccable production work, which results in a musical output that is highly danceable, endlessly refreshing and doesn’t lack its fair share of creativity, next to finding its way onto labels like Correspondant, Me Me Me, 2MR and Crosstown Rebels.

I pave the backstreet with the mist of my brain
I cross the gap between platform and train
Falling into me
Violet strip lights I try to dissipate my focus
Falling into me
But I realise I can’t keep hiding my emotions
Falling into me
I can’t just lay or let be
When all the words you say are hanging onto me
You occupy my mind by every which way

And when I climb the steps to street
There is no reason to doubt myself here
My thoughts were pouring down with the rain
But now see that it’s so crystal clear

We got this

You
Me
This
Now wherever we go is the best place
No need
To be
Restrained
Now whatever we know we should just say x2

When we were like night bloom violets
Our handprints pressed to my window
I was feeling quite right like this as the lightning glitched
And it echoed in your eyes
Beating right through the denim
You left a dent in my home screen
We’re in so far
But we need it

You know I’d
Bite my hair as I tried to justify
You know I
You know I

No hesitation at the traffic lights
Beneath the black in my windscreen
We drive
I think they caught it on camera
Can’t help but feel it again

It’s just the necessary price you pay
If you listen to your instincts
And I
Don’t wanna cast it in concrete
And then it hits me again

We’re so illuminated in the night
Alight together down the fire line
Fireline

Beat beat beat beat beat beat beat beat beat

I'm All Ears

Aïsha Devi has announced the release of her second album ‘DNA Feelings’ out 11th May. In conjunction with the album announcement came first track ‘Inner State Of Alchemy.’

The second track to feature 'Dislocation Of The Alpha' shows Aïsha creating an almost dreamlike aural state as she calls for her listeners to “Unlearn, dislocate the Alpha.” It’s a significant statement that delves into both the political and the philisophical and yet is only something that could have been made by Devi.

A year on from Luigi Tozzi and label head Dino Sabatini’s collaborative Manticora EP Outis return with a striking, singular solo work from Tozzi. Ecate EP sees the Roman producer bringing three distinct slices of techno, each with its own set of subtleties and the crystal, adept sound design that defines Tozzi’s work. Spanning the A-side is Ecate. This title track is rolling and hypnotic with muscular, percussive bass. Throughout the track, angelic chords come and go, washing the listener in euphoria. Alongside, we hear a disorienting melody, grounded by the lightly swung four to the floor kick that gives this track an infectious groove. The flip opens with Leto, which immediately defines itself as a club trackwith an unbroken but evolving set of percussion and a weighty kick. It’s around this kick that other elements build. We hear long, ringing, resonant string sounds and a bell like melody morph and unfold as other percussive components come and go. The track falls away into atmospheric eeriness, which perfectly sets the stage for the EP’s finale. Esperede’s swung, panning drums give it a disorienting feeling of otherworldliness from the get go. This is before you’re greeted by an alien, slightly dubbed out melody and a hanting backing drone that feels like a reference (perhaps in opposition) to the angelic chords of the EP’s first track. It’s on this closing track that Tozzi’s delicate, expert sound design best shines through.
