all i wanted (paramore flip)

Artist: Dayoung
EP: Latency
Format: Digital
Cat.No: CHI052
Master: Justin Randel
Artwork: Dayoung
Release Date: 25 October 2024

Baroque meets industrial techno on Latency, the latest EP from Seoul-based DJ and musician Dayoung. Through the pounding rhythms of taiko drums and dark swirling electronica, she creates a melancholic soundtrack to an existential crisis on the dancefloor.

Latency, her first release on Chinabot, comes after a period of self-realisation for Dayoung. “I aim to express emotions such anxiety and uneasiness into experimental, deconstructed sounds that are still more or less describable in dance-floor grammar,” she says. “Strong sounds and textures are a kind of release for me. Subversive music is an outlet. It screams out things I can't say in words.”

 

Building from the creeping, liquid sadness of the opening tracks, Strong/Weak, Dangerous fills in a slow BPM with distorted samples, including her own whispering voice, to create a stuttering whirlwind of repressed angst. “Sometimes you want to say something but it’s just not easy due to circumstances, and I wanted to reflect on this kind of situation,” Dayoung says.

 

On the next track, Disturbing Choir, heavy kicks and breakbeats turn the drama up a notch, driven by stacked melodies that interlace like a choir. An ominous feeling grows throughout the record, which ends with Expired, built around a Latin American tresillo rhythm bulked out with heavy bass and kicks. Leaving the listener with a sense of unease, it is characteristic of Dayoung’s refusal to provide any simple conclusions, preferring instead to draw us into the mist of the emotional moment.

Dayoung is a DJ and promoter based in Seoul who plays heavy bass, reggaeton, UK bass, breakbeat and more. She is also a member of the art collective Lost Air which archives and researches the underground electronic music scenes of (mostly) Seoul. In 2023, she launched a new Seoul-based collective, Fragmented Service, with fellow musician and DJ Jaeho Hwang. She has played with and supported artists like Dis Fig, Flora Yin Wong, NET GALA, and Salamanda. At the moment she is the promoter of her own party series [Girls Gone Wild] and is a monthly roster member of Visla.fm radio.

i made myself bigger ears from clay to hear the ghosts that roam the island. they certainly had something to say about loss. isosaari is heavy with its military history—bunkers and installations, a torpedo. several empty and haunted buildings, tombstone, the stone base of russian barracks, german casemates and a mass grave of the reds from the civil war.

in the forest, shadows lingered in tangled roots and loss was woven into the fabric of ground. this island is a strange testament to what remains.

’a soft plea, we seek freedom. we all navigate grief’s landscape. but for liberation for the living, you need to hear those who are alive’, the ghosts said.

Isosaari change and loss

Break every mirror that I see,
I don't want people to look at me.
Not a single day where I didn't feel fucking ugly.

I'll go back to my bed,
All these damn butterflies tonight will dig me into my grave.
Oh, don't you say that you never made me go insane,
'Cause there were times that I felt like I was just being played.
Oh, you make me feel so deranged,
But it's okay, yeah, it's alright.
You made it fucking hard to sleep at night,
But I guess it's okay to admit
That you never even cared about me.

I'm so ugly, I'd break a mirror just by standing next to it.
Yeah, I will never understand why I was made this way.

Don't wanna go back to those times,
Where you made me believe that I was fine,
And I wouldn't have to worry about other guys.
So why did you have to do me like that?
Oh, I hope you fucking die.
Staring at a mirror — well, at least they don't fucking lie.

The ninth release of katharsis is the EP “Journey Before Destination” by @jjjacob, which is the first full release of the label founder on his own label. The EP spans six tracks and is quite a deviation in sound from his earlier releases on labels such as ANBA, high heal and Sweat Taste. Taking a step away from his usual tools of heavily automated synths and complex midi-based melodies, this EP focuses closely on recordings of acoustic instruments and vocals done by jjjacob himself throughout the pandemic year.

With titles and themes of “Journey Before Destination” drawing severely on The Stormlight Archive novel-series by Brandon Sanderson, the listener is taken on a dreamy trip through medieval landscapes and emotional worldbuilding. The sounds of heroic struggles, poignant pilgrimages and mystical creatures are carried through on the six tracks of the album by its melancholic piano phrases, processed guitar stretches and manipulated vocals. However, even though the acoustic instruments seem to be a change of expression for jjjacob, the recognizable layer of weird samples, field recordings and sound effects that usually pervade his music still flow through the whole EP.
