For our debut release, Permahigh record’s very own Mike Drones traverses the world of multi-dimensional sonics and sines with a mesmerising three track EP, whilst raising some important questions:

Is Bernard a robot? How Gully is the girl? And will we really blend till the end?

The answers aren’t important, but the journey through the elasticated synthesis and belly-bound frequencies make the intrigue in thought all the more enveloping.
Constantly slinging you forward and pulling you back in, the landscapes Mike paints over the course of the EP are filled with serotonin inducing feats of aural science, leaving you with no choice to be fully submerged in the world he has created.

No more dystopias, please. The end of the world has been a prevailing theme of so much club music in recent years. On GLOBAL METANOIA, 10 artists choose instead to explore how an injection of hope might lead to something far more radical. 

From Beatrix Weapons’ cathartic mashing together of IDM, industrial, and breakcore, to SUTA’s bubbling experimental pop, to Die In Polar’s vocalising over a pounding high-speed tresillo, the producers featured here not only push club music deep into adventurous new terrains, but manage to do so with a genuine smile.

Plasma Sources marks its 5th release with Cortical’s debut EP, Wretched Patterns and Terrible Mistakes. Pulling from both the extreme fringes of experimental music and the minimalistic tendencies of the UK bass continuum, the duo’s much-awaited first release acts as the locus point between dance floor sensibility and sonic exploration in its most immersive, visceral sense. 

Cortical are world builders first and foremost. With backgrounds rooted as much in the visual arts as audio, the duo’s live AV show has already garnered critical acclaim after standout performances at Sonár and Lunchmeat. Coupling this with their list of past collaborators - which includes the likes of Holly Herndon, Arca and Skrillex - and it becomes easy to see why there’s so much hype around Cortical right now. Indeed, this EP is the culmination of months of building excitement amongst those in the know, as fragments of raw footage captured from Cortical’s shows begin to amass on social media. 

Wretched Patterns and Terrible Mistakes itself feels like the auditory equivalent of a fragmentary existence forming, fragmenting and reforming again. Noise and distortion act as integral threads throughout the EP, but on Telúrica, they takes centre stage. Brittle percussive calls give way to a thick wall of bass-laden, cinematic viscerality which hits the listener almost as hard as the ensuing rhythmic carnage which erupts halfway through. 
Mortar, immediately fires away into more rhythmic madness, as elements of dubstep, metal and grime coalesce into blasted kick patterns which sound like the contractions of an eldritch machine’s digestive tract. Noise-tainted bass tones take over, tearing in and out of reality as Mortar progresses into deeper territory.

Up next, Shiny Surgery provides a respite, with electro-tinged drippings of lasers and wet gloops lifting the listener into a more sanitised and lighter space than its predecessors. Cortical’s extreme musical influences are still at play here with their signature eroded bass weight and splintered percussion on display, but in a more restrained sense. As the halfway point comes in, so too does the most introspective section of Wretched Patterns and Terrible Mistakes, as cinematic floating pads de-sterilise the space. 

Finishing things up is the namesake of the EP and arguably the most anthemetic listen of the release. Demented vocal chants call out across a disintegrating claustrophobic space, before grime kicks and fragmented breakbeat loops explode into existence, demanding full dance floor attention.

Cortical - Mortar

This two-track EP creatively reimagines the same core hook across two distinct genres. The first track is a hard-hitting, trap-infused anthem, layering thumping 808s with sharp hi-hats and aggressive rhythms, delivering a raw, bass-heavy vibe. The second track flips the script, taking a more experimental approach with intricate breaks, glitchy textures, and warped basslines, pushing the boundaries of sound design. Both versions showcase the versatility of the hook, bridging the worlds of hip hop and experimental bass music in an engaging, innovative way.

Listen to 'Shards of Purification' by Griigg taken from 'Vessels of Chaos : Mercurial Blood' out on 27th December via Over My Body

Bandcamp: https://overmybody.bandcamp.com/album/vessels-of-chaos-mercurial-blood

“Consumed by the Void
In darkness we crawl
Islands of dreams in a sea of emptiness
Through mud and moonlight
We celebrate noise and harshness, bliss and glitters
We are the makers of stars, the grinders of chaos
The glue that make everything whole
Casting the sublime into oblivion
Our chants make the skies cry
And the mountains leak
Body as a cauldron
Akin we breathe into eternity
Dust to dust, from flesh bags to astral bodies”

Vessels of Chaos is a musical tale - an ode to change and reconfiguration. Set in a crumbling lorescape, it explores primitive forms of collective organizations rooted in material reality and its associated imperfections.

It takes the form of a double EP, released on MONTAGE and Over My Body.

Both EPs explore different directions with similar structures. Seen as complementary, they explore the use of voice and organic noises as source material to craft hypnotizing soundscapes and cathartic rhythms. Infused with paleofuturist imagery, they imagine new forms of communities, beliefs, rituals and worships - cherishing communion, shifting perspectives and internal transformations as ways to situate ourselves in the emptiness of existence.

Mercurial Blood combines muddy subs with cavernous vocals, mutilated by fractured beats, rough textures and crystalline hits - for an abrasive harshclub exploration of friction as an integral part of dynamic change.

Griigg is a Paris-based artist exploring the interactions between space, image and sound and their ability to craft powerful narratives and imaginaries. Since 2018, he also co-runs the Club Late Music
x Global URL Nation open-source and collaborative label/community, gathering worldwideartists to experiment together with collective processes of creation, organizing releases,events, workshops and more.
