Simulacrum Remixed

Simulacrum I (FRKTL Remix)

Lotic has announced a new EP 'Sparkling Water', which is set for release on July 1st and features reworks of tracks from her recent album 'Water', which came out in October 2021. The new EP features original brass compositions and was recorded at live at JRS in Berlin. The first track from the record "Always You (Sparkling)" is streaming here and on all your favourite streaming  and download services.

Lotic’s debut album Power, released in 2018, transformed feelings of fear and vulnerability into a consolidation of personal agency and strength. The record was praised for its polished production style and its narrative reflections on race, sexuality, and gender. The follow up to this was Lotic's latest release Water, the bewitchingly intimate 2021 album for Houndstooth, which was a stunning revelation; a tender meditation on love’s losses and lifeforce, timelines, bloodlines and resilience.

Tracks from Water have been transformed with arrangements by Hilary Jeffery for Lotic's new EP  'Sparkling Water'. The record also features Orlando de Boeykens (tuba), Baron Arnold (trombone), Kelly O’Donohue (trumpet/trombone) and was mastered by recording engineer was Jose Torelli. Recorded in sections, the EP was intentionally left sparse to contrast with the high production value of the album, and highlight the brass and composition. 

Sparkling Water:

1. Come Unto Me (Sparkling)  
2. Emergency (Sparkling)
3.  Always You (Sparkling) 
4. Diamond (Sparkling)

Mt. Fuyu - A Mirror To Weave
Cat. Nr: DN024
Format: DL
Release Date: June 2, 2023
Buy / stream: dansenoire.ffm.to/MtFuyu

A grave and sprawling epic, Mt. Fuyu’s A Mirror to Weave swells with implication. Written, recorded, and produced from the heart of a person who’s lived through life’s struggles much too young, the album is a ferment of ideas and experiences that together capture the sheer strangeness, beauty, and terror of existence. Born in China and immigrating to the United States with his parents in infancy, the Kansas City-based artist—otherwise known as Fu Liu—moved from the coastal province of Shandong to America’s Midwest in the early 2000s. The dot-com crash to follow led to living precariously with his father in Canada, then a short stint in foster care, before settling into a strict regimen of academic and musical pursuits on the family’s return to the US.

This classical jazz education and scholarly background comes through in A Mirror to Weave, where an endless inventory of influences—crossing Coil, The Caretaker, Burial; Mark Fisher, Hito Steyerl, Carl Jung, and more—is steeped in a sublime brew of drone, post-industrial and ambient; hauntology, dub and bass. Rife with the trauma of the past, and the expansive landscapes of the present, opener “Temple” billows with decayed, distended, and eerily pitched vocals, as an arrhythmic pulse grows then crashes in a surge of noise and distortion. The disturbance rumbles through other tracks too, as the subaqueous current of “Swamp Nymphs” roils and fizzes around a crumble of pads and sine waves, while resampled and effects-laden drums charge head-first into the spooky atmospherics of “Ovre” with an erratic urgency.

Although often muted, muffled or restrained, the voice and its whispered words play a central role in A Mirror to Weave. It’s in the existential drift of “Shells”, as Fu Liu’s sweetly sung words (“seen it all/ a black hole”) ripple over a melancholy piano solo; environmental field recordings fluttering delicately just beneath the surface. The audio is taken from the parks, streets, bars, as well as online spaces Fu Liu inhabits, giving the record its heavy sense of grief and alienation. Wandering through the emotional state of pandemic-era estrangement, while also mourning the passing of friends, A Mirror to Weave is a requiem for the worst that’s already been, and an exaltation of the best that’s yet to come.

Mt. Fuyu - Swamp Nymphs

Talk by Jessica Ekomane, sketch­ing some of her recent rhythmic interests, such as the poly­rhythmic prac­tice of Pygmy music, African timeline rhythms, and the pres­ence of non-Anglo European ideas and artists with­in the his­tory of com­pu­ta­tion and com­puter music.

Live recorded on 29/4/2023 at Festival Oscillation :::  o tempo.

Jessica Ekomane is a French-born and Berlin-based elec­tron­ic musi­cian and sound artist. Her quad­ra­phon­ic per­form­ances seek a cath­artic effect through the inter­play of psy­choacous­tics, the per­cep­tion of rhythmic struc­tures and the inter­change of noise and melody. Her music is groun­ded in ques­tions such as the rela­tion­ship between indi­vidu­al per­cep­tion and col­lect­ive dynam­ics or the invest­ig­a­tion of listen­ing expect­a­tions and their soci­et­al roots.

Yours, emerges from the shadows as 333 Boyz’s first release since their EP Pink Freak (Creamcake, 2015). A rare fruit, the duo’s album nods (and headbangs) to a curious range of musical influences through heavy sampling and live instrumentation. Yours, unapologetically attempts to fit the mould of a "conventional” album, while at the same time allowing for naive weirdness.
