Takeover Hyperlink avec digitonica - 13 Mars 2021

"Cold Crystal Timbres" recalls the immediate past. Hight-tech emotions and synthetic unnaturalness: When sonic hybridities were echoing early 2000s pop.

Once a haven for nerds and enthusiasts, the internet became accessible to many in the early 2010s. Utopias linked to the early internet, such as that of an anonymous and democratic cyberspace, are finally being displaced by a neoliberal Silicon Valley ideology that manifests itself in platforms like Facebook and Amazon.

Rebecca Fuxen and Martin Rovan’s mixtape "Cold Crystal Timbres" pays tribute to the music that emerged from this structural change and aesthetically relates to it. This hybrid music genre, which developed between 2010 and 2015, is characterized by both cold digital sounds and nostalgic pop references. It is embedded in collectives, loose associations, labels, events, or curatorial projects that network primarily through platforms such as SoundCloud and Myspace. Although this music takes place mostly in traditional club settings, it is transnational, digital networking practices that create political activism and solidarity: many collectives establish platforms for DJs, producers, and activists. They reclaim the white- and male-dominated club scene and emphasize the queer context of its genesis and the central role of BPoC within club music.

Listening to the digital, high-resolution sounds of the time one comes to grasp the intersections of digital everyday culture and music as well as the influence that technological developments have on the realities of the artists’ lives.

We're back at our GUESTMIX series with the last mix before summer vacations. Number 72 on the list, this episode has been recorded by the multidisciplinary artist, musician, DJ, and producer MAAY aka Mayte Stevani from Buenos Aires. Affiliated with the cutting edge Trrueno collective and label from Argentina's capital, she relocated to Berlin and participated with the crew on a tour around Europe which saw her perform and DJ in several venues in Prague, Brno, Lausanne, and many more.

MAAY's focus on music develops from influences from her Latin heritage and continues towards the latest hybrid styles of the contemporary club scene, also absorbing fragments of trance's melodic drive and incorporating eerie, dark themes from industrial music. In the around 35 minutes long selection we're presenting you today, the artist collects three unreleased tracks from her debut EP coming very soon plus a number of contributions from Trrueno members such as QEEI, Candie, and Bungalovv.

The mix crafts a thoughtful yet powerful listening experience, a perfect insight into MAAY's multifaceted artistic personality, suspended between delicate warmth and unrestrained emotions. As best described by her own words: "you are going to enter a wonderful land where your deepest emotions are allowed to play freely, and where darkness and colorful flashes will dance together until the end".

Victor Metske is a Rotterdam-based electronic musician, who is normally known for his energetic club-ready style of production and for the label Bound Centre, which he co-founded with Ice Viper, Imhotel & Ezra V. On katharsis, he presents a more introspective and thoughtful side of himself with his EP “In The Midst Of Things”, which seems to stem from this weird year of isolation and quarantine.

The 4 tracks of the EP send us on a contemplative journey through our feelings, spanning from the blissful pads on the beautiful opener “Flour On Her Feet” to the more disturbing and anxious plucked strings on “First Sight”. Metske states the following about the release:

“In the midst of things, in between life changing events and entirely new daily routines there were small moments where I could sit down and reflect. The four tracks of this EP were created in these small pockets of time. During the pregnancy of my girlfriend, after the birth of our son, at the arrival of a global crisis.

Melodic and atmospheric elements previously hidden in my send channels have been braving the foreground of my productions for a while now. But more recently I've been able to use these elements to translate the weight of recent events directly into some of my music. All four tracks represent very personal abstract feelings that I could never put to words.

Within these four tracks, I can hear feelings of joy, love, doubt and melancholy scream back at me. I can hear myself settling into a new world, struggling with relinquishing control and discovering calmth.”

The first release of the year on katharsis is the album “wandering” by danish artist sortlegeme. As the titles of the tracks reveal, the album takes the listener through different dreamlike sceneries with a eerie sense of anxiety as the common denominator. With jjjacob on the mastering and artwork of the album, sortlegeme’s album “wandering” sends the listener on a suspenseful trip of ambivalent melancholy.

The artist, who has earlier released tapes on labels like Moral Defeat and Perfect Aesthetics with styles ranging from tribal techno to noisy ambient, takes an even more filmic approach on wandering by interpreting the ghostly atmospheres and strange feelings he experienced throughout the pandemic year.

The incorporation of rhythms from genres usually foreign to him like hip-hop and jungle suits the artist’s narrative style and brings very vivid pictures the mind of the listener - stretching from the paranoia and psychotic mood on the track “climbing” to the dramatic chase-scene of “pursuit”. His more ambient style is present in the uncanny intro and outro tracks “turn” and “return”, but also on the gloomy yet picturesque track “shrinking”, which was premiered with the pre-order of the album.
