I probably lack something fundamental that makes you human

Arriving just days before the release of Eroica II: Christian Nihilism (out October 31), “I Wouldn’t Be Alive Without You” closes the trilogy of singles leading into Chino Amobi’s long-awaited second album. The track channels the record’s central tension between ruin and revelation. Accompanied by a new video directed by Chino Amobi and Evan Angelique Coleman.

Without escapism, a confrontation with one's own mirror. 
Where Two become Three, and three become One.
To be in the world of culture, but not of the world of culture, requires a great act of magnanimity, courage, and conviction. 
This single and its respective video is a renunciation, in the nihilist sense, 
of Baal materialism and idolic desire for external validation, 
while simultaneously grounding oneself at the center of the storm and chaos, just as Christ did and continues to do.
Loving yourself and loving others.
True identity and freedom comes to revelation and fulfillment within the deserted and impoverished ruins of one's own soul. 
For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than
for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God - Matthew 19:24

Chino Amobi’s forthcoming album, Eroica II: Christian Nihilism (out 31 October via Drowned By Locals), takes its title from what he calls “the idea that while joy and contentment in God might be ideal, they might never be experienced on this side of eternity.” The record inhabits that paradox through folky drones, glacial ambient, spectral trap, and the hushed echoes of sacred traditions. If Paradiso was a burning world in flux, Eroica II is its haunted aftermath.

Born in Alabama to Nigerian parents and raised in Virginia, Amobi is a musician, painter, and writer whose work has been shown internationally, including at MoMA PS1, ICA London, and Palais de Tokyo. He co-founded the influential collective NON Worldwide and is represented by Meredith Rosen Gallery in New York, Robby Fitzpatrick Gallery in Paris, and Von Ammon Co. in Washington, D.C.

Welcome back to another Transmission broadcasting from the HER 他 Transmission Mix Series, our mix series showcasing amazing artists from around the world. For this edition, we bring you a mix from  https://soundcloud.com/babydiwata

Baby Diwata is a Filipina DJ, model, and organizer based in Hong Kong. Unafraid to push the boundaries of club music, she experiments with extreme genres like Deconstructed Club, Hardcore, Hyperpop and more. She fuses soft and melancholic melodies with distorted and heavy hitting basslines to nurture a soundscape that taps into the deepest burrows of her queer and feminine experience.

With her love of alternative sound and yearning to create safer spaces for women and queers, she co-founded PANIC LIBRARY: an art/rave project focused on experimental and deconstructed club music, with a goal of diversifying HK's electronic music scene. 

Baby Diwata continues to infiltrate the underground scene of Asia with her fierce and enigmatic sound, making club and radio appearances at SLAP (HK), Arcan (Saigon), Apotheka (MNL), HKCR, FM Belowground, Manila Community Radio, V2X Radio (Saigon), and more. She has also played for global collectives like Normie Corp (Canada), Keep Hush (UK), and Cakeshop (Seoul).

My personal note about the mix: I started working on this mix after seeing the widespread protests in the philippines against corruption last september. This mix is my love letter to rage and loss -- feelings dealt with by the filipino who is forced to come to terms with living in a country that does not value its own people. Corruption is an evil that trickles down from the higher up. Never let it consume you and never forget.
