NYLON track of the week http://www.nylonmag.com/?section=article&parid=9871

"South London producer Visionist is one of a new wave of young artists engaging with the ever-mutating sound of grime and taking it to new places. He’s been bobbing about since 2011, putting out highly-strung instrumentals on a handful of 12”s, and now comes his debut EP on Lit City, I’m Fine (out September 3), which features a collaboration with New York producer Fatima Al Qadiri.
Al Qadiri's synth-line warning signs are both alluring and insidious, like the wink of a star that’s long since burned out, while Visionist twists handfuls of bass into a shadowy second melody. It’s as if the two producers are dancing around one another, sizing one another up; intrigued yet not without suspicion."
- Pitchfork

"Two of the underground’s most exciting prospects from both sides of the Atlantic have joined forces. Brixton’s Visionist and New-Yorker-by-way-of-Kuwait teamed up for The Call, which features both artists trademarks in spades, Fatima’s ghostly church hall melodies and Visionist’s icy minimalism. Proper pairing"
- Abeano

"Late last year, we spoke to Fatima al Qadiri about her enduring love for grime, which she described as “icy cold” and “full of threats.” Both qualifiers feel well-suited to “The Call,” a track she co-recorded with London producer Visionist for the latter’s upcoming I’m Fine LP, and which suspends ethereal synth sounds and a game-ready bassline in a tension-filled, unresolved limbo. Fans of al Qadiri’s Desert Strike EP will recognize some of the same eerie choir sounds, but for the most part, “The Call” is remarkable for its sense of space—especially considering that there are two cooks in the kitchen."
- The FADER


"Recently, we got word that the Teklife-affiliated Lit City Trax would release two records from burgeoning London producer Visionist. The anticipation we had for his first release, the I'm Fine EP, was palpable and now we have our first taste. "The Call" is a collaboration with fellow innovator Fatima Al Qadiri, and it's a doozy. Instead of assaulting listeners with heavy kicks and snare hits, the two create a storm of bass lines and vocal-styled synth pads. "The Call" sounds like the quiet before a desert battle, with equal measures of dread and anticipation waiting behind each resonating note."
- Ad Hoc

"Conceptual New York-based artist Fatima Al Qadiri features on the new EP from South London-based grime shapeshifter Visionist in the form of this icy new track The Call. Underscored by a warped bass line and punctuated by Al Qadiri's familiar robotically angelic vocal samples and synth jabs, the overall effect is one of caution and paranoia, leaving us with chills but far from cold."

TANK Mix: Heith

Treating songwriting as an instinctive process, Bedoret transforms her deeply personal experiences into pure emotion. Not following any set narrative, Eyes takes the listener on a journey via their own experiences, prompting introspection through Bedoret’s hypnotic melodies. Through the album, she awakens the audience's imagination, to open up their emotional response.

Vanessa began her classical training at age 6 and on completion at 18 she embraced the thrill of playing guitar in punk bands, and like many at the turn of adulthood, was quickly captured by the allure of the dancefloor. She also counts black metal to opera and from eurodance to IDM as inspiration. Her deep understanding of musical form elevates her experimentation to a truly unique sonic experience, one that never strays too far from her original love of classical music.

Through the lens of a life lived to it’s fullest and one that does not shy from experiencing the rawest of emotions, it’s clear that Bedoret has a nack for translating personal observations into cinematic crescendoes. The field recordings throughout only heighten this feeling adding both a grounding and other worldy sensibility. Lyrically, she allows you to peek into her private world and for a fleeting moment letting you lock eyes with hers, asking what do you see?

Elusive Love 5

Taken from 'Colón Man', the exceptional debut album proper by visionary Jamaican dancehall artists Gavin Blair (Gavsborg) and Jordan Chung (Time Cow) plus their extended crew, aka Equiknoxx - once again for Demdike Stare’s DDS label. 

Where their widely acclaimed 'Bird Sound Power' primer compilation, issued on DDS in 2016, brought the rest of the world up to speed with the music produced between late ‘00s and 2015, their first album now brings a 2020 sound into sharp, technoid focus thru a baker’s dozen steely, heat-seeking riddims galvanised with clinical electronics and a Midas Touch approach to sampling.

I usually don’t write about feelings or experiences, my music is not a vehicle for ideas and language; music is an art form that stands on its own. I put sounds there for the sake of sound, not what they mean. I’m perfectly fine with listeners feeling their own emotions or adding their narratives to my music, but that has never been my goal. Music and sound for me is a physical experience that you feel and enjoy. FIGURE BESIDE ME is the exception to the rule. After this EP I’ll go back to serving the dancefloor again - I just need to get this one out of me.
