24 and out of dumb-ass playlist names

Sin Afuera (“Without Outside”) is the new collaborative EP from Chilean producer @Imaabs, label manager of NAAFI and cofounder of Máquina Simple, and @OtherIslands, a vocalist and producer from London’s underground club scene. Both based in Mexico City, the two artists share a close creative partnership shaped by a mutual interest in exploring the limits of global electronic music.

The EP’s title refers to the myth of closed systems—those that define themselves by casting an outside as dissident, migrant, or simply noise, and enforcing its exclusion. Through hybridity, dissonance, and distortion, the record traces the contours of this outside, imagining other ways of being in the world.

Released via NAAFI, the four tracks draw on and destabilize the rhythmic logics of dembow, baile funk, grime, dancehall, reggaeton, and jungle. Frenetic percussion and glistening synths meet expansive sound design: ASMR flickers, field recordings, and fragments of unintelligible speech bleed through swung grooves and shimmering textures. The result is a sound that is luminous and tense, shot through with longing and evoking a space that feels at once intimate and yet out of reach.

FADER Premiere: http://www.thefader.com/2017/01/06/born-in-flamez-careful-you-might-tear-the-sound

Debuting with the ethereal “Time Hurtz” on Modeselektor's “Modeselektion Vol. 3” compilation, Berlin artist Born In Flamez began by giving us everything and nothing – a deeply personal work nonetheless divorced from context or identity. Not that BIF ever defaulted to anonymity… the person behind the music was always front-and-center, yet inscrutable. The song’s equally diaphanous and commanding vocal work, its lyrical soliloquizing of hesitance and stasis, its gripping emotional qualia – these would demand in the listener an intimacy that is usually exclusive to pop fandom, while providing no hand-holding narrative outside of the music itself. This novel approach would continue throughout the UnReaL EP debut, the IM-released collab with Modeselektor, “TBF”, and culminate in Infinite Machine’s 53rd main series release, their first of 2017, and BIF’s sophomore EP – “Careful You Might Tear The Sound”.

And despite the proclamation of frailty, BIF’s newest music is nothing but. Wistful, yes. Wounded, yes. But there is strength, catharsis and transcendence encoded within. These sounds are tear-proof. The loopy, mechanistic dembow of the title track gallops onward with tenacity amid sombre angelic incantations and off-beat numbers station interjections. The demure 7/8 gait of “50 Down”, and its nursery-rhyme-inflected calliope/Triton melodies hide deeply mournful social commentary on (and the eulogizing of) the Orlando Pulse massacre. BIF’s titular instruction might be reflexive – indeed, when the vitreous, FX-destroyed vocal motifs chime in, there is a sense that the track is ripping itself apart. And it is wonderfully poignant.
