In Potentia

Hanoi / Berlin / Tokyo. Does an EP title ever feel more evocative?

Jozef K takes us into a journey soaked in his inspirations through the lens of the traveller. 4 tracks that instantly take us into towering urban sprawls, with cascading musical architecture drawn from east to west.

Deeply dissociating within Tokyo’s spider-web metro lines is “Minamisenju Acid”. Early sunrise breakbeat euphoria becomes rose-tinted with “115 4eva”. “Involuntary polyamory” drags us into a bizarre love dodecahedron, elegantly battling drum work and synthesis between tossed breaks. 


Only once our brains have travelled all the miles between these historic cities, “We Came To Dance” sees us off with immaculate depth, with nothing but notes of unity on the dancefloor.

"Digital Animals" is a visceral exploration of our modern techno-driven existence, where the rise of AI and social media pulls humanity back into a primal state. With infinite knowledge at our fingertips, we paradoxically devolve, following basic instincts and binary patterns, like creatures of code. This compilation encapsulates the raw energy of this shift: pounding beats and hypnotic rhythms reflecting the endless noise of social media, while pulsing synths echo the tension between hyper-connection and isolation. In this digital jungle, we become evolved yet devolved, trapped in a loop of polarized thinking, driven by technology's relentless pace.

For Dutch artist Stefan Vincent, the feeling of melancholy also offers the opportunity for beauty to be found. “Decay and loneliness can serve a purpose. Depression can teach you things. To feel deep sadness also means the ability to feel profound emotions.” he says. With this in mind, his debut album on MUSAR Recordings, “Post-Melancholy”, unpacks the twists and turns of grappling with this emotion, drawing from breaks, electro and IDM to make his most intricate work to date, after previous releases on Token, Dynamic Reflection, Symbolism, and Non-Series.

Throughout “Post-Melancholy” Vincent traces the wave of melancholy and how it moves through the body, which allows for lighter moments alongside darker moods. Perhaps the lightest track on the album is its acidic-breaks opener, “Eyes Unclouded”, with its soaring acid lines and dazzling synths, which acts as a false pretense for the rest of the album. Tracks like “Poise”, “Arpeggino” and the meditative “Yonghegong Lama Temple Exit F” also break up the intensity. However, nestled between the more pacey, bass-weighted tracks on the album, these lighter openings still feel like tear-jerkers.

The more common associations of melancholy show up on tracks like “Another Skin To Wear” and “You Know This Isn’t Going To End Well”, which all create a more ominous feel via IDM and the polyrhythmic structures of drum’n’bass. Particularly on “Another Skin To Wear”, which borrows its name from a Radiohead lyric, the track's swooping motion feels realistic to melancholy’s chaotic and often unpredictable path. But, like all great storytellers, Vincent leaves the most poignant moment of the album for last with the rolling “8AM on the Train… (For Maarten)” devoted to his dear friend, Maarten, who sadly passed away at the young age of 36.

This LP is dedicated to Maarten de Vries (1986-2022)

Let‘s get fcky in BLN is the theme of Noti‘s upcoming EP for W133. The UK based artist circles back for his second appearance on the label; this time stamping 2 originals on wax. As this is the 7th vinyl release on W133 we thought of something special and present to you the first ever 7inch record from us! „Girls Just Wanna Have Fun“ on the A side is a vicious party starter with stomping groove and naughty vocals embracing the good old party fling. On the flip side Noti shows off the darker side of love with „Phase Mistress“. The nasty bassline and rumbling drums give the track a laid back yet mysteriously still forward pushing touch that one could hear looped for ever. The Artwork picture is by Philipp Roth and the release will be out digitally as well as a 25 copy vinyl dubplate edition on 20.9.

"Otherness": An Intimate Invitation to Snuffo's Inner Self

In lay-man definition of the word, “otherness” stands for the acknowledgement of the fact or the quality of being different.

And though the term has been mainly coined to applied sociology for identifying the social construction of different groups within society and the study of social identities in general, Benedikt Schmidt - Snuffo - takes the term inward and travels with it on a journey of self-reflection, both as an artist and a human.

The outcome of this journey is 52 minutes of musical output- seven tracks to be precise - in the form of a mini-album, titled, “Otherness”.

Schmidt grew up in a small village in West Germany during which he always felt a sense of otherness, especially as a growing creative. This sense of otherness intensified within the confines of his small-town environment to a point where relocating to a new place that supported this otherness was almost imperative.

And it was Berlin. When the village failed to nurture Schmidt's creative mind and soul, Berlin, with its like-minded souls, embraced him. During the 8 years he lived in the big city, Schmidt’s otherness wasn’t only embraced but rather celebrated. These major transitional phases in the artist’s life were reflected in his sound elements that constituted the album where each was a reflection to a certain emotion or state of mind he had experienced.

In a musical transcription, otherness was and still is Benedikt Schmidt’s creative dynamo. He creates without confinements of any kind except remaining truthful to his sound palette. Schmidt - as Snuffo and an artist - makes music out of a deep urge to create. The seven tracks on this album are the result of this freeform creation process - jamming with the gear and giving in to the flow.

The seven-tracker evokes a plethora of emotions and situates the listener in an aura of some sort.

“Theme from Otherness”, the opening title, feels like an instant propulsion into a cold and eerie spot in space; it paves eloquently the way for the tracks to follow. They are capable of capturing the listener with their grim, harsh tones or their oscillation between darkness and light. With “You Mean The World To Me”, Snuffo wraps “Otherness”, and the listeners’ journey alike, with a sense of deep melancholia that creates an impactful closure.

The tracks are an amalgamation of Snuffo’s unique vision on Techno, Experimental music and Electro.

Five years through, Schmidt resides in Mallorca, where he leads a withdrawn lifestyle enabling him to indulge more into all his creative endeavors and that includes his work with Stefan Gubatz where both produce and perform as Snuff Crew, known for their Acid/Chicago House sound and his more experimental work as Cellarkalt. In addition to music, Schmidt expresses his thoughts as a writer of both poetry and prose.

On his latest release, he says, “The tracks were made between 2023 and 2024 and are the childbirth of myself and the machines. The approach was intuitive. I get to my machine and work their magic and embrace their oddities. They deliver little imperfections each time and that is the appeal of live recording for me”.

He adds, “I had to learn to embrace my otherness in order to become an artist and make mistakes in order to grow. I want to create in order to express myself and not deliver”.
“Otherness” could be simply described as a dark shining on sonic tales.

Snuffo’s latest album will get an early Bandcamp release on the 27th of September, 2024 and 11th of October on all major platforms.S
