〜 Taken from Debit's album 'The Long Count', out via Modern Love on Feb 18th 2022 〜

Delia Beatriz’s musical output straddles two distinct artistic poles; her debut solo album, 2017’s acclaimed “Animus”, oozed from sensual, beatless soundscapes to high-octane club music, while her 2019-released EP “SYSTEM” harnessed tribal guarachero elements while simultaneously scraping ideas from industrial techno. 

On “The Long Count”, the Mexican-American producer has inked her most rigorous statement to date, sublimating opaque ancestral knowledge into vaporous AI-stirred fog banks, activating an ancient rite that reaches into tomorrow. It’s audacious electro-acoustic archaeology that sounds disorientating, anachronistic and arcane.

“The Long Count” is rooted in research Beatriz made into Mayan wind instruments – whistles, ocarinas, flutes and trumpets – using the archive of the Mayan Studies Institute at the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, the oldest and largest collection of its kind. Developing a set of digital instruments that could be played using different types of temperaments and scales, Delia processed these sounds using machine learning techniques to shuttle the distant past into our extant artistic universe, peering into Mexico’s pre-colonial history and weaving those ideas into complex tonalities gleaned from musique concrète and contemporary electro-acoustic music.

The ten tracks of ‘The Long Count’ form a ritual that’s a few footsteps out of time – neither a part of our present, nor the past. Beatriz describes the Mayan instrumentation as ancestral technology, part of a world that’s not so much been forgotten, but purposefully erased. And although it’s impossible to know exactly how Mayan music may have sounded, it’s feasible to converse with history using modern technology to conduct a ceremony of remembrance.

Beatriz’s soundscapes are haunted by indistinct, shared memories and centuries of pent-up emotion, and are as intentional, direct and meticulously crafted as the work of Deathprod or Thomas Köner. Her microtonal compositions are psychedelic to their core, shapeshifting through dimensions and painting complex mental images, while retaining a stylistic focus and lucidity that’s all too rare. Although “The Long Count” was nurtured by machines, human experience is coded into its DNA – an ancient-future heirloom that whispers through countless generations.

04 Elements Of Inertia

Taken from the forthcoming album "Printemps-Ete" on In Paradisum, to be released April 11 2016.


After a couple of EPs, qoso reveals his first LP on In Paradisum, a label he joined in 2013 for the Like It Soft EP he cosigned with Low Jack. Charlie Janiaut opens up a third way between physical energy and experiments on sound textures. The producer originally from Franche Comté has dusted his fingers on battle scratch and his playing with computer is totally instinct driven. Playing techno from the viewpoint of rap music, qoso’s music is entirely based on samples and feeds on mistakes, frequency translation and a piling up of effects leaving space to randomness. The tracks on Printemps Ete were composed all at once and speak more to the body than the head - they’re rhythm tracks as stated by Emotional, which opens the record where most electronic albums like to put a nice ambient track. After being compared to Blawan or Levon Vincent by Resident Advisor, qoso is now leaving most references points behind with a syncopated sound that puts some fun into the raw.

Tissu - how many guns do you own

``I can't feel anything, but you inside of me
It's nothing physical, It's only mentally
I can't eat anything, because you're inside me
I feel fulfilled with you, with you inside of me

I can't do anything, without you inside me
It's not that I don't do a thing
In my mind, you're always here with me

I don't need anything, with you inside of me
I'm completely satisfied, with what you bring to me
I can't sleep anymore, though, day and night I dream
In my dreams, it's only you and me

I can't feel anything, but you inside me
In my dreams, there's only you and me
It can't be mutual, because you are my dream
Impossible for you to feel for me, what I feel for thee

No matter where I look, only you I see
Even when my eyes are closed,
I see you inside me
I don't love you the most, I love you, only``

nothing physical
