Imaabs - Trying Ft Tama Gucci

As an introduction to their forthcoming “Novox 10” anthology, Skyshaker shares their thoughts on the current state of ballroom alongside two members of the international community. With the blessing of fellow SVBKVLT stalwart Hyph11E, her cavernous “Escapism” track serves as the backdrop of a startling confrontation between three international members of the queer ballroom community.

Mexico’s Lenchanter Medussa infiltrates the next evolution of “Escapism” with a disembodied Spanish-language taunt that literally reaches critical mass. Skyshaker’s “Vemanei Transmission 072720” is a sobering moral reckoning with unspoken violence and power dynamics underneath the glamour and theatricality often associated with the young queer subculture. Tokyo’s Chris Eclipse closes the release with a classic New York chant with an African prince-inspired music video to match.

In Sky’s own words, “Ballroom is at yet another crossroads in which they have to decide how much to embrace the corporate America that now smells money on them. Not everyone is okay with the way they are being observed, not everyone is okay with that scent.”

I was mucking around with Enemy stems that I separated using one of those AI sites, after seeing the queen herself live in Naarm, and whipped this up. Spent a bit of time testing some new ideas out on the mix/master too, and set myself a Bandcamp Friday release  deadline, as is tradition. Nothing too special, but hopefully you enjoy. Available for a single buck.

Design by me too! Original typeface n all.

FLACO - Drip

Oppressed, submerged, but packed with tremendous energy — that is how Out of Fashion Boys feels about Beijing as a city, as well as the way it defines itself as a label. As the political and cultural center of China, Beijing radiates such a unique charm that one simply cannot find another Chinese city similar to it. Though Beijing is not the most economically developed city in China, all the cultures that it cultivates will never be completely consumed by market economy. It is able to protect or even hinder a culture from commercialization until its next big explosion. Take the Beijing rock’n’roll scene as an example — it is hard to believe that there is almost a 3-decade gap between its two major explosions. Out of Fashion Boys managed to gather a diverse group of musicians into one record, with assistance of the unique energy of Beijing City. 12 groups of artists the label has previously invited to perform live have come together this time to work on the compilation Out of Fashion Boys Vol.1.
压抑、下沉却又蕴藏了巨大的能量。这是Out of Fashion Boys对北京这座城市的感受，也是他们对厂牌自己的描述。北京作为中国的政治、文化中心拥有着独一无二的魅力，你不可能找到一座和北京相似的城市。虽然北京不是中国经济最发达的城市，但它所产出的所有文化都不会被经济市场所完全消解，它会一直保留或者埋藏文化不被商业化直到下一次的爆发，就像北京的摇滚乐你很难相信它的两次爆发竟然间隔了将近30年的时间。Out of Fashion Boys用北京这座城市的能量把一群音乐人聚集到一张合集中：12组他们曾经邀请的音乐人以北京的印象共同创作这张合集《Out of Fashion Boys Vol.1》。

In this compilation, you will hear the creation by producer Zean, who is currently based in Shanghai. As a Chinese himself, he contributed to this compilation the most clever sonic take on the atmosphere of the Chinese capital. 
You will hear Berlin producer Goro, who sampled China Airlines’ public announcement in his track.
Paris-based producer King doudou set fire to the compilation with lush club beats that are spiced up with oriental flavors. 
Wrack from Tokyo titled his own track as Hot Pot.
合集中有现居上海的制作人Zean，身为中国人的他在情绪上最为巧妙的表达了北京的氛围；
你还能听到采样了中国航空播音的柏林制作人Goro；
来自巴黎的制作人King doudou创作了极具东方色彩的俱乐部音乐；
东京的Wrack用火锅命名了他的作品。

This project was created out of direct response to the relentless and unacceptable violence Black transgender women across the country have been experiencing. We are currently providing our service to Black trans women in New York and New Jersey, and will be working to expand our efforts to other states soon!
