YT {https://youtu.be/YoOX6QPsfq4}

the full story behind this track: a couple of years back, while on our periodical search for remixes of popular songs, we stumbled upon the recording of a makina set done in 2010 by David Blanch from Almazora, Spain. in the set, for a little over 1 minute, David amazingly blends directly on vinyl a crazy makina anthem published on Bit Music in 1999 called "Question'99" by Markos 13, Oskar Large, and K-Psula with "Que Dolor", the 1982 all-time hit by the artist, tv personality, feminist icon, and working-class hero Raffaella Carrà. turns out that this vinyl mezcla was originally done in the early 2000s by another great spanish DJ/producer known as Toni Rico and that David kept that practice alive so that this brilliant idea wouldn't be forgotten. we sadly couldn't get through to Toni himself but David approved and welcomed our will to make an expanded digital version of the DJ blend to celebrate even further these two makineros and their unforgettable scene, as well as to express our love for the absolute queen Raffaella who was born exactly on this day 80 years ago. hope you enjoy it❗❗❗

Amnesia Scanner & Freeka Tet - STROBE.RIP
Label: PAN
Cat.No.: PAN 139
Release Date: 16 June 2023
Purchase: PAN.lnk.to/STROBE.RIP

Amnesia Scanner’s third full-length album titled STROBE.RIP is a collaboration with the artist and musician Freeka Tet, who joins the album and associated live performances as a vocalist and creative collaborator.

Released by PAN records, STROBE.RIP is part of a broader series of live performances, installations, videos and physical products created by the group.

Since its inception in 2014, Ville Haimala and Martti Kalliala have continued to evolve and redefine Amnesia Scanner through experimentation across online and IRL realms. This album brings them a step closer to the latter.

With French-born, New York City-based Freeka Tet on board, STROBE.RIP acquires a new array of influences that draw from the multidisciplinary artist’s hacker mindset, shaping the sound into new forms. As a programmer and technologist, Freeka Tet’s work straddles commerce and art, combining intuitive and performative modes of expression with emergent technology and creative coding. Much like Amnesia Scanner, Tet draws from online vernacular and techno-magic to create satirical, uncanny work – artificially augmented, and highly engineered sounds, textures, images and ideas that translate memes and code into a more human and affective language.

Haimala and Kalliala say, “Amnesia Scanner is now living in the world it has built,” signaling a sincere commitment to the act. The human dimension in STROBE.RIP is chaotic: a reverse hero’s journey that merges deep-fried baroque with the quasi-angelic into a psychotic megamix of tropes, lyrics, genres, and sonic palettes that are both disorienting and deeply resonant.

The opening track Tongue Demons perfectly summarizes this, with blaring synth stabs and frenetic drum patterns paving the way for a broken melody arranged through a digital brass chord progression. Giggle and Bounds follow right after: two outstanding pieces of introspection signaling the melodic turn of the album, with the latter almost posing as a weirdo 2-step ballad filled with deep pads and pitched-up and down vocals.

The 160bpm, 4-to-4 pulsing kicks of Ledge and the palm-muted chords of Disperse serve as a perfect build-up to Ride, right in the middle of the tracklist: a summer hit from hell, a crooked saxophone-graced tune carried by a crusty, Balearic acoustic arpeggio. The alt acoustics continue with Damon, or at least before the track turns from Nirvana’s Unplugged to Slayer’s double kick drum pedals and becomes thrashtronica with Tet on screamo duties.

Things get softer with Clown, specifically in the chanted refrain, and even more aetherial in the almost trip-hop timbres of abandoned.club, where chopped-and-screwed vocals sing “I lost myself in the club.” Scorpions, Bats & Spiders is the abstract gem declaring the death of Deconstructed Club Music—a genre created by journalists and pioneered by the duo, among others. The words “deconstructed,” “club,” and “panel discussion” are spelled out in a vortex throughout the track as if they were to be carved on the genre’s imaginary gravestone. Closing the album, the saw bass of Cat serves Euro-electro à la Benny Benassi’s Satisfaction, while the doomed outro Merge closes the album in a triumphant aggregation of noise and pixelated drums that render the image of a crust-punk ensemble.

4-i - ESTO RCHECK

@fausto_mercier 
@digitonica

The first half hour is played by the Fausto Mercier mix. His unbridled experimental electronica, while resonating with hardcore digital culture and bouncy rhythmic heaviness, is closely connected to his fascination for natural soundscapes and their fractal nature. In particular, the artist skillfully manages to depict a violent, tense world populated of minuscule yet grand sound variations, intertwined in a web of apparently chaotic textures. In the second half of the program, listen to Digitonica's mix of new favorite tracks, songs, neo-ambient, lulling and taking you to other worlds of dreams.

LUNAR PRISM ⏤ DIGITONICA invites Fausto Mercier

O ano passado realizei este tema dentro do Mestrado de Arte Sonoro da UB. A peça é uma exploração construida íntegramente a partir de voz e jogando com tradição oral galega que procura a criação dum ambiente tenso mas luminoso.
Peneirando nas nossas frustrações podemos encontrar claros e remansos de calma ainda que os medos nos rodeiem.
