Pre-order : https://ar-fm.bandcamp.com/album/stakhanov
Release date: June 2, 2021

One year and a half after Jaroska’s ’Red Room Offering’ release, Lyon-based AR/FM label is back with the fourth imprint of its catalog, due for June 2021.
Following the label’s aim of exploring a widened techno spectrum while working with and promoting unsung talented friends, AR/FM is about to provide another beautiful piece of music, this time from ephemeral trio Stakhanov.

This eponymous LP offers 55 minutes of dense, fluctuant electronic experimentations, taking inspirations in the relentless Soviet worker myth. Its frantic and industrial overall atmosphere, set by sharp yet harsh paces, is eventually pulled to pieces by murky and hallucinated ambient acts, depicting a way darker story than the one told by the USSR propaganda.  
Thus, one rhetorical question remains: Could this unhealthy man-a-machine glorification come to any different end than madness?

Based upon Hugo Charpentier’s drawings, that can be found both on inner and outer sleeves, the 7-track album definitely takes advantage of its visual dimension, resulting in an elegant double-12” black-&-white gatefold layout. 

Releasing Stakhanov was also for AR/FM a way to pay tribute to the golden era of Lyon alternative electronic scene around 2013-2016, of which the project-members were three of the many faces. 
Through their different collectives and labels (CLFT Militia, SILO, Palma…) amongst others, all the instigators of this creative craze considerably contributed to the constitution of a new generation of Lyon-scene protagonists, AR/FM being one of them.

Jerod S. Rivera @jerodsrivera is a musician based in Oakland, California with a focus in electronica and leftfield techno. With a background in drums and experimental electronics, Rivera approaches composing in a do-it-yourself mentality and is completely self-taught. On January 1, 2021, Rivera self-released his debut full-length album Virgo. He also has a monthly show on Internet Public Radio called Adjustment Layer, focusing on forward-thinking electronic music. Rivera is also a designer working for museums and non-profit organizations.

We are excited to welcome Oakland based musician, Jerod S. Rivera. For this installment, Rivera steps away from his language of rhythmic analog synth compositions and beat driven sequence based patterns, instead honing in and expanding upon individual sonic elements. Here are ten different movements that evoke a sense of otherworldly cinematic narration and synesthesia. With the playful conduction of glimmering atmospheres and use of negative space, a scenic backdrop emerges from a spectrum of gradual tonal shifts and pacing. Percussion personified, speaking through implied rhythms that navigate different terrains of the stratosphere.

Bad breath. The baddest of music. This duet have created a musical world all of their own making. Russian figure skating on ritalin. The comedic interplay of romance and revenge is quite the site to behold, and potentially life-changing to listen to…… J’adore.
