Taken from Klahrk (@klahrk) new EP Oscillate and Shimmer, out November 19, 2021, via SFX (@s-f-x-0101)

Effortless and disarming, lush yet brutal, “Oscillate and Shimmer,” the newest release by DJ, artist, producer and label owner Klahrk, is the fruit of isolated collaborations and longing for mutually-assured destruction. The eight tracks, written across 2020 and 2021, mix vital computer pop builds with ruptured, explosive breaks ringing of UK bass. This is the soundtrack to rebuild the world of the club and tear it down again.

Under SFX, Klahrk has built an album that hits fiercely while flirting with digital distortion to create dark tensions begging for release on the dance floor. Rooted in the industrial electronic scenes from the past, this album is written for the clubs of the future, where we can never guess what happens next.

You can also listen to Klahrk's last show on Radio Ma3azef where he runs through tracks that inspired his upcoming release, as well as sharing his current selections for a glimpse into the future.

@sueuga - Conflict Areas EP
[PAYNOMINDTOUS, PNMTU009, out on February 16th, 2024]
[paynomindtous.bandcamp.com/album/conflict-areas]
***
Sueuga (she/her) @sueuga is a Mexican artist, DJ, and producer known for her releases on pivotal labels such as NAAFI, Hiedrah, Salviatek, Sacrilejio, Soul Feeder, Arboretum, and Precious Metals among the others. Now based in Amsterdam but raised in Oakland, California where she started her music career by collaborating with artists from the Neoperreo scene, Sueuga has been an important actress in the contemporary scene thanks to her experimental, mutant club outings primarily inspired by industrial music and dominated by unsettling atmospheres, ferocious drums, and abrasive textures. We’re very excited to announce the release of her new “Conflict Areas” EP that will be out on Friday, February 16th. 

The 5-tracker opens up with a short and eerie introduction called “Dragged” which indeed abruptly drags the listener into a perilous sound journey composed of explosive rhythmic discharges that also extend to the second and third tracks, the titular “Conflict Areas” and “Heat Therapy”. Thanks to its extensively variegated yet immediately accessible and catchy compositions, Sueuga’s awe-inspiring work manages to summon dark, infernal scenarios while also envisioning bright futures of long-awaited victory, offering a commentary on the existential struggle of unconditionally and wholeheartedly affirming one’s existence in turbulent, oppressive times. With its sense of unavoidable and relentless tension, the entire EP is an act of belligerent resistance in sound form.

The two final tracks host collaborations with the founder of the overmybody.tw label, Taipei-based DJ and producer B E N N @bedoublensound, and Duma’s noise/metal experimental musician Sam Karugu, respectively. While the first one (“Hidden Fees”) indulges into the heavy-hitting, cadenced percussive progressions previously shown in the rest of the EP (and here enriched by deep, bursting basslines and a ghastly melody), the latter (“MMXXIII”) provides a free-form anthem for all the metalheads where rumbling distortion and eerie vocals meet incessant lamentations and gurgling noise in the background.

Tracks 1-3 produced and mixed by Sueuga. Track 4 produced and mixed by Sueuga & B E N N, track 5 produced and mixed by Sueuga & Sam Karugu. Mastering by Wim Dehaen @wimdehaen. Artwork by post_cyberparamo instagram.com/post_cyberparamo/

+++ GUN UNITED 02 : P I T - Biotic Network +++

We’re truly happy to open the new year with another addition to our UNITED series, which for each EP in the series, one member of the GUN community collaborates freely with other producers and artists of their choice.

For the second piece in the series, multi-faceted producer and Biodiversità Records founder P I T brings together three up and rising talents : ASJ, myen and migu, whose activities of the past few years consistently kept pushing the boundaries of the electronic soundscape.

Biotic Network is a breeding experiment, a virtual field research that started with an open call to the GUN community to share data such as images, texts or sounds. These gathered multimedia specimens - an aggregation of personal experiences with nature, served as a substrate for the growth of a new life form inspired by mycorrhizal networks and internet archives.

From the moist synthetic echoes of Fungi on My Face.mkv to the interweaved chaos of Sculpting Mycelium.mkv and the encompassing symbiosis of Aggregate.mkv, Biotic Network transcends classifications and carefully crossbreeds counter-balancing sound species. 
The resulting EP is an interconnected web of sounds and imagery, providing us with a fertile ground for future generations of sonic ecosystems.
