ju ca x Yoshitaka Hikawa -On The Dispersion Of Materiality [GNM001]

‘On The Dispersion Of Materiality’

Through vast perceivable soundscapes and a broad array of influence,we momentarily reflect on the individual perspective. In our withdrawal from
this deliberate capability, both complex and challenging circumstances allow us to comprehend our own human condition. ‘On The Dispersion Of Materiality’ relies to some extent on pastiche and the generality of its social content, perfectly demonstrating how the consequence of artistic expression can be distributed through technology.

Gobstopper alumni Loom returns to the label for his third outing since debuting with ‘Grade’ back in 2014. 

Now a founding member of club collective and party, Acid Fantasy — a popular club night he has helped run for the past year alongside Akito and Nervous Horizon duo TSVI and Wallwork — Loom’s palette has continued to expand and evolve, as evidenced by sparkling new record, ‘London Ambient’. 

Where ‘Grade’ and 2016 follow-up ‘European Heartache’ functioned around experimental grime tropes and fractious melody, ‘London Ambient’ unfurls broader, complex landscapes and sounds, inspired by discovering ‘so much new music’ working in London record shops over the last two years. “I’ve been introduced to so much new stuff, music I never would have heard before”, Loom explains, “…and these new influences gave me loads more drive to start making music”. 

Written with a wide-eyed sense of discovery, ‘London Ambient’ flexes between futuristic, sci-fi soundscapes (‘Heavy Glow’), sprawling acid-y club trips (‘Aacccid’) and sub-heavy, rave breaks (‘Saturday Job At Laser Quest’). These myriad sounds, bookended by the lush ‘Heavy Glow’ and dreamy, bubbling soundscape, ‘Forever’, compound Loom’s new-found sense of discovery — a fitting motif for a label that continues to grow and re-mould with every release.

The latest release on Tobago Tracks sees Berlin-based producer Alobhe deliver four blistering cuts of forward thinking club music.

State Space encapsulates the paranoia and angst felt in an increasingly polarised world, typified by feelings of helplessness. The EP spans four sonically diverse pieces, opening with ‘State Space Conversion’, which introduces Alobhe’s visceral and direct aesthetic.

While ostensibly lo-fi, tracks such as ‘Numb’ and ‘Reload’ contain elements of progressive experimentation that challenge the perception of conventional lo-fi hardware based club music.

Numb’s nauseating warped sample over a solemn distorted electric guitar dirge epitomises the lack of agency felt whilst voyeuristically consuming the spectacle of the modern world. These themes are continued in ‘Reload’, where out of sync drums and lead loosely give the track shape, implode briefly, and then reassert themselves, further adding to this sense of unease.

With an enigmatic online presence and little to go by outside of her moniker, Alobhe has created a jarring fusion of electro, black metal, techno and sample based experimentation.

Eaposting 4 deals about the hyperconnection and globalization: "We live in a more and more globalized and connected world that is progressively incorporating arts and cultures from different countries and different scenes. This hyperconnection brings many advantages, and one of these is unquestionably the unprecedented simplicity with which art can be shared and can cross geographical borders. On the other hand, it’s getting easier to lose trace of smaller realities with the risk of disregarding their value. The aim of the compilation is to give producers the chance of expressing the culture of their own country, or a country that they feel connected to, reinterpreting it under a modern light and their own musical style in order to highlight different local realities.”

The concept was portrayed in this amazing artwork by Marnie Hamilton from New Scenery featuring some old personal photographs seen through a modern viewfinder, enhancing the contrast between culture, tradition and history and modern society, and how the past can be reinterpreted in new unseen ways.

Emotional material manifests itself in many different forms. Sometimes it flows like a river, rolls like a wave or pours like rain. The fluidity of emotional experience makes sense as our bodies are mostly made up of water – life's matter and matrix, mother and medium.

It is time to let go of your fear and doubts. You must learn to embrace the darkness of your soul, for it is a light beacon of hope for humanity. Your soul wants to show itself in its truest form, strength, perseverance, courage and determination of spirit. In this lifetime your soul needs to cleanse and open its feelings for katharsis. This current physical lifetime offers you a new leaf, to be able to learn to balance obsolete, distorted behaviors.

lyrics:
Free me clean me
Rinse my soul
Wash my body
Bring me to my poignant cleansing
Free me clean me
Free me clean me
My soul is damaged 
Can you heal my wounds

Free me from my self 
Free me from my pain
Free me from my darkest thoughts
My purest emotions are the best
Poignant cleansing
