Rusted Silicon

Gooooose - Along the Synthetic River I

Marco Colocci (@queimada77) is an Italian producer and sound engineer based in Berlin. Learning how to play the contrabass and music theory has initiated the growth of his interest in the techniques of field recording and sound design, as well as his overall passion for electronic music. After self-releasing music during his teens, and later producing for Taiwanese artist Sabiwa from Chinabot, under the moniker Queimada he now presents a debut record coming out on Gin&Platonic.

Built around a concept proposed by Harvard professor E.O. Wilson, Eremocene depicts a future state of miserable epoch into which human species is slowly but steadily accelerating. Characterized by the existential & material isolation that comes from having calamitously extinguishing other forms of life on Earth while intrepidly fulfilling our immediate needs, the future labeled as The Age of Loneliness sees our identity completely transformed. 
On the record, Queimada explores precisely the conflict between the tempting ease and a pang of unconfessed guilt in an attempt to capture the ironical relationship they epitomize. The album represents an encounter between different techniques of granular synthesis and field recording. The encounter between the unstoppable and destructive, altogether resulting in a disruptive anthem of the intensifying burden of the postmodern times.

Eremocene

Premiere: Queimada - Why U Cry? (ft. Sabiwa)[Gin&Platonic]

Racine - Quelque Chose Tombe 
Cat. Nr: DN016
Format: LP / DL 
Release Date: 21 February 2020

Hidden in plain sight, grinning through worry, living in insecurity – modern society has returned to a day-by-day race for survival. To be vulnerable is the new normal; afraid, a bare minimum. Something was bound to emerge from the quiet throngs of the new precariat, and Racine is such a voice, setting to music those modern lives defined by uncertainty.

Quelque Chose Tombe (‘Something Falls’) is a set of compositions that confronts demons both inner and outer head-on. Created during a period of necessary unemployment somewhere in Montreal – caring for one’s health can take precedence over work – the music is both a grotesque dance of the goblins and the gentle opiatic breath of the protectors. It’s a harrowing reflection of the prevalent vampiric hypochondria forcing a generation into fatigue. 

The sounds crawling out of Racine speak with their own internal logic. Snippets of fractured tunes creak through perturbed post-digital soundscapes, blurred and fragmented along the way into haunting amorphous instrumentals. The two-part title track is multi-part sonic maze where raven-like pitch bent notes gather, a broken rave theme punctures its way through bass fog, and silence clefts the music in two, ushering in a coda of heartbroken ambience. As the album’s suite progresses, Racine shepherds mutant melodic themes in and out of earshot, like clear thoughts bringing temporary order to a state of emotional panic and withdrawal. A host of other sounds too – voices and birdsong, cybernetically deformed – populate Racine’s scarred productions. 

Emerging from Quelque Chose Tombe’s constant darkness however, is a latent sense of hope. Racine is turning modern vulnerability into a strength, creating a singular aesthetic to reflect and confront an uncomfortable present.

Quelque Chose Tombe

Racine - Quelque Chose Tombe II

taken from 'Break-in'

Often mislabelled with the rather shallow ‘post-club’ hashtag, Strachkvas has been patiently alienating himself from the scene’s status quo. His sounds grew into the claustrophobic and grotesque realms of his debut release - Hedonic Treadmill (G&P003). More than two years has passed by with the treadmill rolling on non-stop - as Strachkvas reshapes his live performance with constant updates of new material, and occupies himself by mastering the arts of fine dining. Now, the producer, visual artist, and importantly our beloved friend with whom we have partied through countless nights, is finally back after the long hiatus from officially releasing music, bringing not one but two fresh releases for 2020. Gin&Platonic are pleased to continue the mutual collaboration by putting out one of the two upcoming EPs - ‘Break-in’.

Regardless of the past years, the Ostrava born-and-raised Strachkvas re-visits his primal environment - the club, and he does so with precision and a recognisable amount of contempt. The dancefloor-ready triptych ‘Break-in’ invades the innocent listeners with a mesmerising eponymous first track, holding them hostage until the abrasive lead single. ‘Fake’ may liberate them temporarily, thanks to seductive (yet menacing) vocals by M - a ‘Sound in New Media’ masters student minoring in neuroscience, interested in ending class war, becoming a pop star, the icey-sea, and hot sauce on popcorn. According to M, ’Fake’ is meant to become the next queer dancefloor anthem, and it is all about being seen. M’s lyrics here are taken from a tweet they wrote in response to having a difficult time dating as a non-binary person, when everyone treated them like their gender was fake. The third and final track, named after an infamous chemical tanker ‘Cumbrian Fisher’, eventually devours the listener into gloomy streams of contaminated waters, transforming the dancefloor into a polluted ocean-bottom, poorly lit by glimpses of sunrays that dimly pass through the aquatic surfaces covered with large oil spills and goo lumps.

"Imagine Mark Fell crossed with "Avril 14th" and you're not far off. But in spite of the generative feel of the composition, it never feels academic or stuffy, instead lilting, inviting and a bit mischievous." (@resident-advisor)

"My Cruelty’s music is the expression of an incredible array of influences coming not only from the musical world going from Jean Cocteau to Björk and is able to build up a uniquely hypnotic sound made of emotions and feelings." (@soul_feeder)

"The Secret Weapon revolves around an icy, minimalistic echo of the piano. A unique and explorative sound that fuses experimental and dance music." (@avyss)

The Secret Weapon (GEN040) by @mycruelty is a tapestry of ambiguous harmony, rolling synth stabs and sparse, syncopated drum patterns. With endless and never tiring reinforcement, slow - or phantom? - template shifts undergo sudden phase transitions: icy house piano phrases undergo a process of mini counterpoint, later on even complemented by acidic permutations. As the boundaries between tracks dissolve, a dance floor ready scintillating grid illusion unveils itself.

@mycruelty about the album:
"My purpose - to create a hypnotic sound, music full of feelings, that gives you a sense. I create my own mythology. You come inside and feel the silence, endure the pain. But it’s not depressive or sad, this pain opens a new door in life, this pain clears and changes, makes stronger. My album is an ode to the love of music, life. Never stop to live. Music is life, this is movement, this is energy, this is dance.
I am a pure stream, I am an open infinity. I see dreams and go to meet them. I see my reflection, the phantom / ephemeral nature of my soul. I transform so quickly that I do not have time to capture my image. I see myself and at that moment disappear, become something else and look at myself again to see who I am.”

BESSA illustration about the cover design
"I am playing with shapes and fragments in different layers floating around the basis - smiley face. These forms exist together and separately at the same time. They are continuously moving and creating certain tension which gives you ephemeral feeling. Because movement is the basis of our life, nature and universe itself.”

My Cruelty - unfinished dreams

++ TINNITVS - A 5-YEAR ANNIVERSARY COMPILATION ++

In 2015, Club Late Music was created as an open-source music label, with the ambition to explore the production and diffusion of artistic contents by connecting artists worldwide into a network based on collaboration, sharing and mutual aid. It was quickly followed by the creation of the Global URL Nation in 2017 : a still growing community of artists, designers and enthusiasts willing to crystallize this idea into a tangible reality.

Five years later, after more than a dozen projects - from EPs and compilations to audiovisual pieces and installations, as well as many radio shows, live acts and club events - we are still more than convinced that collective action, togetherness and genuine openness are much needed guides to navigate our troubled times.

---
We are happy to celebrate this double anniversary with TINNITVS, a 12-track compilation made by members and friends of the Global URL Nation. With 24 artists from more than a dozen countries, it acts as a statement of our current mindset by presenting only collaborative tracks made by two or more persons. An embodiment of playful exploration and muti-faceted creation, covering a broad range of sounds and styles, from the lowest roars to the sparkliest ringing vocals.

As a reverse present to our supporters, as well as a way to explore further what open-source could mean in contemporary music production, the stems of each track are made available for anyone to use as they please when downloading the compilation. We hope this initiative will give birth to inspiring reworks and remixes, expanding the scope of the original tracks into new beings in perpetual evolution. We invite any contributions, from GUN members and beyond, to be sent to us in order to be gathered under a common project that will take shape in the coming months with the same mindset.

---
We are overwhelmingly thankful to anyone who has joined and participated in the adventure, as well as to everyone who has shown support in any way possible - from those who listened to our music to those who played it, from those who shared our content to those who involved us in their activities. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for the continuous inspiration.

We still have a lot to learn and to improve, and we hope that this anniversary only marks a foundation to build upon. A basis that will allow us to keep further exploring sonic realms and visual wonders, as well as collective organization and collaborative processes.

Let’s hope we can celebrate and dance together soon.

🕊🕊🕊
