Klaustrophon opens wilful and vivid by diving deep into the imaginary space version of a syncopathic Mariana Trench, exploring jittering light beams of plasma clouds inside the frontal lobe.

A year and a half after its first release, Pilote, Syrinx Music is back with another V/A release, Ballast. Meanwhile, Syrinx set various events up in the Paris area, and took great care of this new EP. Just as the device it takes its name from, Ballast aims to find a balance in contrast, in line with Syrinx’s aesthetics: an open vision of electronic music, linking both club & experimental dimensions.

On Ballast, this contrast goes with the idea of duality. The A Side of the vinyl (pressed as a dubplate in a very limited edition) gathers three artists of the most adventurous side of the French bass scene. Cyberlife kicks things up with an atmospheric and aerial breakbeat track, which melts into Fechos’ (a member of the SeekSickSound crew) « Fire Famine », which goes for crazy breaks and a self-evolving melody. The founder of Virtual Forest Records, Fluid Matter experiments with grime and trap on « Jagged Peaks », with its minimalist rhythmic structure, hardcore kicks and unsettling melodic lines.

Side B slowly advances towards abstraction and experimentation. Abstraction Mathématique expresses its percussive inventivity with « Il Fait Souvent Le Même Rêve Que Verlaine »’s cinematic atmospherics. Hourvari mixes the double bass with electronics, leaning on the dark side with « Parade », a track that slowly progresses towards drone. The EP comes to an end with Dress Rehearsals, who contribute « Confluences Des Cordes », melting acoustic & electronic sounds, light & darkness, peaceful ambient & noisy outbursts.
Ballast seeks both eclecticism and cohesion, each track flowing, stylistically, towards the next one, while the overall line remains open from breaks to drone, from grime to IDM. This V/A release also comes with an artwork hand-drawn by Cath’rin, which was then transformed through AI. It will soon be following by a new series of solo Eps on Syrinx.

Syrinx Music :

Syrinx Music is a Paris-area based microlabel, founded in 2020 by No3sis and both members of Haxo, around the idea of experimenting with new music formats and open aesthetics linked with digital arts. Syrinx's music aims to be diverse and located in the numerous crossroads between electronic and experimental music, visual and digital arts.

Syrinx seeks to melt styles and genres, blur lines between noise and breakbeat, electroacoustic and bass music, improvised music and techno, thinking about these styles in terms of spectrum, rather than frontiers. Syrinx wants to open borders, play with shades and promote new talents; its aim is exploratory music, that starts with shared references to progress towards the unknown, that plays with hybridation, accident, unforeseen music events. Syrinx was born with the experiences of its co-founders, and wishes to create an open canvas to host the experiences of other artists and listeners.

Syrinx is anchored in such inspirations: noise, cognitive science, accidents in creation & music, sound studies, pop culture, chaos theory, experience and experimentation, no wave, (a)tonal music, networks and graphs, surveillance society, algorithms & filter bubbles.

Syrinx Music is a weird bird, an invitation to surprise and an ode to divergence.

One to watch, Benk0 is emerging through the London nightlife scene. Co-running party series Folly, Benk0 also hosts radio residencies on The Internet Public Radio and Aaja Deptford. He’s also previously guested on Kindred Radio and Noods as well as releasing on Slippery Sounds with Blokssom. You’ll be able to catch Benk0 at Venue MOT on the 1st April for the first Folly party of the year, playing alongside Otik, Beneath, Ifeoluwa, k means and Folly residents. 

Speaking about his approach to this mix, Benk0 says, “I wanted to explore the eerie, deconstructed and experimental sounds that inspire me , with each blend taking the listener to new and unexpected soundscapes. A mix full of dubbed out, percussive, pumpy and bassy tracks that spam a wide range of different genres and tempos. I wanted to capture the essence of the type of nights i like to attend  and play at, from warm up to peak time.”

"In the making of this body of work, I found myself surrendered to the creative flow that occurred in each piece individually. As if the work at a certain point starts to delegate and I have no choice but to serve. Serving in a way of not knowing conceptually what I'm doing.
An organic asymmetric approach was the basis for the whole aesthetic exploration. A dialogue between repetition and irregularity whose sum is leading into a playful yet dark gloomy nature.

In CREATURE I investigated the relationship between technical knowledge or rather the rigid imagination of an idea to the unpredictable fluidness of creation. Every track sort of becomes a CREATURE that deeply wants to be itself and given that, it feels ultimately brutal wanting it to fit in in any way. I am the initial ignition or the person having an idea to start something new but I always end up being a tool, a trigger or a small protagonist in a world that is now something of itself.“ — Chewlie

We're pleased to introduce you to London-based producer On Man, a musician whose previous collaborations include Giggs, Darq E Freaker, Zebra Katz and Mr Hudson amongst others.

The original 'Squares and Triangles features fellow London-based rapper F-M-M-F' and now we have Ninja Tune's insanely good producer 'The Bug' on remix duties.


"Pure, physical heaviness - that’s what I wanted with the Squares and Triangles remix, and that’s why I was so excited that The Bug agreed to take on the track. It was a deep, dark track already but he's grabbed it and submerged it down into the abyss in a way that only he can. I’ve been a big fan ever since London Zoo, and I love all of his other projects, so it’s an honour to have him jump on board." ~ On Man


"What attracted me to remixing 'Squares & Triangles' was the sense of mystery. I had never heard of the artist On Man, nor the MC F-M-M-F, and so i had no preconceptions nor obstacles. I loved the fact the vocals provided more questions than answers. And as a fellow freak, in a time where so much music is made to fit blandly into a conformist box, I totally admired the fact this song existed in its own, uncommercial, non-aligned zone.
I just knew as soon as i heard the original, i instantly dug the ice-cold mood and felt I wanted to make it both heavier and deeper simultaneously." ~ The Bug


"F-M-M-F's twisted verbals were hyper-tense and psychotic, so the challenge was to try and intensify the deadly narrative of the lyrics still further... So i opted for max brutality, absolute minimalism, and a relentless groove to carry the crushing weight and add to the sense of danger and drama." ~ The Bug 
lyrics
You said it from the start
We’re more than a mile apart
Call me animal
Still looking for Noah’s ark
Call me a cannibal
Then I left a hole in your heart
Hole in your heart when I
Left my phone in your car
You’re like a loan shark
Once you let go of the past
I swear it’s been about a year
Guess my roly’s fast
Heartbreak will send a woman wild
And now some little dick is
Gonna make her smile
Now it’s just me myself
And the only eye
Got my head doing circles
I guess it’s only pi
No apology from here
Coz I ain’t liable
How could you go and find a square
And make a triangle?


You drive me round the bend whether
Automatic or manual
Upside down my
World’s feeling satanical
Text messages
Scriptures and parables
So many hate your
Shit is getting casual
Not to call you liar
I’m the person that fired you
Man slaughter killed it
But I was trying to
Heartbreak will send a woman wild
And now some little mug is
Gonna make her smile
Overreacting like there ain’t other guys
That lost their composure and told
A couple of lies
No apologies here
Coz I ain’t liable
How could you go and find a square
And make a triangle
