From the EP 'Mutuals' by BJ Leo 
Releases digitally via Related Articles 27/10/23

BJ Leo is a sonic artist, producer and composer from Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland) and currently based in Te Whanganui ā Tara (Wellington). He is a recent graduate of the sonic arts programme at Te Kōkī – NZ School of Music and has previously released works on labels Finest Ego (DE) and Strange Behaviour (NZ). In 2022, he was awarded the Susan Rhind prize and has recently exhibited works at Adam Gallery and the Australasia Computer Music Conference. He was recently announced as the 2023 Toi Pōneke Sound Artist in Residence for a new exhibition Breathwork, due in 2024.

Mutuals marks the first release of BJ Leo’s recent work exploring club and ambient genres through new techniques in spectral fission and ambisonic spatialisation. Drawing from Albert Bregman’s work on sonic fission and the Spectralism movement of the 1970s, the EP deconstructs and reconstructs breaks, samples and digital synthesis to reimagine their spectral qualities. Mutuals reinterprets these sonic fragments in three-dimensional sound using ambisonic spatialisation. The result is a new spectral interpretation of some of the core sonorities of electronic music.

Match Fixer - Night Shift [SE:CD03]

Govardhan Dāsa, formerly known as Gaura-jīvana dāsa, has been releasing noise-saturated post-industrial music and relentlessly touring for close to two decades. His body of work in this period stretches from 2006 (when he was still a teenager) through a catalog of releases on labels including Hundebiss, Night People, American Tapes and Ormolycka — before pausing for a seven year hiatus that began in 2016. The newest band is called Anādi and the first release consists of demos and remixes of songs released with his previous project. The EP also features an INTEGRITY cover made in collaboration with Jesse Sanes (HOAX, KOMMAND, Liebestod) & Javier VanHuss (Back to Godhead).

In the depths of the soul, the fire of feminine rage blazes, a tempest of passion echoes through the ages.

For the first recording of our residency, xenial co-founder @victoirevital selects 30 minutes of dubstep and grime, as a nod to flinta rage, reverberating through each melodie. 

To represent the power of these emotions, we were drawn to Marseille-based artist Julia Bonich’s fantastical visuals for the cursed princess 👑 

The set was originally recorded on Cashmere Radio, as part of the xenial takeover on March 23rd, 2024. 

Thank you Julia for the beautiful artwork (includes additional editing by Maxime Buono).
