As he entered the room onlookers watched him with beady eyes, they stared him down and took him in with menace and malice lingering in the air. This was not a safe space, not a place one might choose to spend much time or be caught lingering. However, whilst he was here he would not fear their hateful gaze for this was to be where he left it all behind as free as a bird. He was in step mode now, eagerly walking forwards into the light and as he stood perched in the centre of the room he began to move. 

Glimmerman is set to release a new EP on First Second Label, this one is a rock steady affair for the heads down dancers and the discerning listener. This record sits somewhere between bass, techno and dancehall - so genre that as you feel fit.

PREMIERE: Glimmerman - Step Mode [First Second Label]

In a not too distant future Deep Scan Technologies, a once high functioning enterprise at the forefront of computer tech descends into worn-torn collapse. With their signature product the Deep Scan SSD being shipped out with a mysterious defect that left the masses with a security vulnerability. Data and information lost its value spiralling the world into economic collapse. A few scientists at the Deep Scan Technologies team remain and try to pick up the pieces of a world forgotten. A prototype for the Solid State Drive 2 is found by cyborg scouring the wasteland for remains. The relic taken back to a secure Deep Scan lab deep underground. These are the results of the analysation.

"Vancouver-based artist Destrata chalks up his first solo release for Of Paradise with Counterweight, a multi-layered, richly-textured and often hyper-real journey through new school club music. Placing the critical elements of UK-flavoured bass and breaks under the microscope, Destrata’s almost scientific approach to production sees him examine everything in minute detail, disassembling and reassembling every aspect of a track until a structurally perfect composition emerges.

Featuring four highly immersive cuts, Counterweight showcases a flux of atmospheric inspirations, displaying Destrata’s enthusiasm for more ethereal and fractal sounds built to ooze through back rooms, safeguarding the listener with a weighty lushness."

*PREMIERE* Destrata - Counterweight

Open Culture: No Borders is a campaign demonstrating solidarity with refugees and asylum seekers, as an ongoing response to the UK government’s ‘Hostile Environment Policy’. The policy has involved a slew of regressive legislations, intended to create a deliberately challenging environment for migrants to settle. In the process, we are seeing cruel approaches to the treatment of refugees and asylum seekers, the use of provocative language intended to create division and the adaption of laws which offer protection of human rights for all.

Proceeds go to Safe Passage International, who support unaccompanied children seeking asylum to reunite safely with their families across Europe, and campaign for more accessible, safer routes.

All people have the right to a happy and fulfilling life. At a time when hostile narratives and actions seek to divide us, we believe that empathy, compassion, and connection are essential values to strengthen.

Dans cet épisode de MINDBENDERS, RAVL propose une heure de selection Bass Music moderne, composée majoritairement de sorties très récentes internationales et françaises. 
PS : Cet épisode est le premier, je l&amp#39;espère, d&amp#39;une résidence plus pérenne. L&amp#39;idée est bien sûr d&amp#39;inviter nombres d&amp#39;artistes (en particulier Marseillai.se.s) à y participer, pas forcément à chaque fois mais la plupart du temps du moins.

'We cannot cure the world of the disease of othering, but we can definitely try, and so we will'.

The Delhi based label brings together 13 club-ready trax from city residing artists, with all proceeds made going to support our brothers and sisters in Palestine.

A message from the label;
'While this release is focussed on helping the people of Gaza, the plague of oppression and violence is not bound by geographies and runs deep within systems of imperialist, colonial and fascistic violence. We stand against such structures of power - whether in Gaza or closer home.

While this release is sadly curative, it is also optimistically preventive. Music heals and if we can help in healing even a part of the collective suffering of humanity then we shall strive to do so at any given level. In the light of the recent developments wherein increasing number of countries have stopped funding the UNRWA and their relief efforts towards Palestinians in Gaza, we would be donating all proceeds collected via this release to the @unrwa

Our expression of healing is through music and sound. We would like to extended our thanks to all the artists for their valuable contribution towards this healing. May this release bring a little peace to the world'.

PREMIERE: Chhabb - Mumbai Dreamhunter (Antariksh Records)
