Premiere: Maoupa Mazzocchetti - Don't Succeed (w Mika Oki)

'Wintermute' is a tribute to the Artificial Intelligence in William Gibson's masterpiece 'Neuromancer'. This being is half of a super-AI, far more intelligent than humans, and was therefore constrained in what it can do. Software barriers block its ability to make long term plans and maintain a stable identity. Its other half is Neuromancer, an AI capable of compiling personalities to pieces of code. Wintermute's main desire is to merge itself with Neuromancer, despite the shackles imposed on it.

This piece represents the union of both AI. Wintermute is characterised by an ambient introduction, where it shapeshifts between timbres where no clear structure exists. When it's freed and starts merging with Neuromancer, the organised being tries to resist the fusion, fearing losing its own personality constructed from all its years in isolation. Neuromancer is represented by a clear and predictable rhythm, which keeps struggling against the cold ambience of Wintermute. As the track progresses, both AIs learn how to live together, where ambience and rhythm give space to peaceful harmony.

This track was first released as a reward for the crowdfunding for F O C, a self-organised art centre in Barcelona, where the Jokkoo collective and other great art organizations have their headquarters. As this crowdfunding is over, I wanted to share with you all this track, now with a new mastering. The cover is done by Zizi Ramires, a super talented artist who also happens to be my sister. For me, the weight of the rock, sitting on top of a calm field strengthens the previously described relationship, now through a natural and organic representation.

Trappy introspection lifted from @angelicaamusic and firstcirclemusic’s @bodymotion debut.

‘AFC2’ marks the return of a potent alliance. Building on the promise of their initial link up in 2022, the duo conjure four woozy meditations on urban malaise. 

The sense of nostalgic longing palpable, angelicaa’s vocal incantations maintain an apparitional presence. Where its counterparts inhabit shoe gaze zones, our pick, ‘Moonrise’, brings a different kind of heads-down pressure.

‘AFC2’ is out May 19th on Body Motion.

Taken from SBKT059: Gooooose - Rudiments
Limited vinyl + digital - 26th July 2023

For our 59th release, we are very excited to present ‘Rudiments’, a new album by Gooooose.


‘2022 was a strange time in Shanghai. The good thing about being locked inside for months on end was that I had had the chance to find the time to observe ordinary, everyday things that surround me and probably many other people. A pencil, socks, a packet of biscuits, vegetables, meat, or small thoughts or some feelings or emotions that last for only half of a second. They all have interesting shapes and very delicate structures, multiple layers, like some sort of primal architecture made by an anonymous person many years ago. They are constantly telling stories, however often ignored by me, or us, for whatever reason. I decided to sit down and observe them carefully, and later started making sounds for them and their stories.

in drumming, rudiments are small and sometimes fundamental pieces that could later form longer rhythmic patterns.’ - Gooooose

˚₊‧꒰ა “This Is How We Break Your Toxic Positivity” ໒꒱ ‧₊˚

Second compilation of a “This Is How We Break…” series focused on breaks and bass music to enlighten our emerging electronic scene from France and abroad.

Based on the free interpretation of the ‘breakbeat’ genre, the breadcrumb trail of this second compilation is the theme “from happy to dark” (or the other way) to celebrate the fluctuation of emotions whether positive or negative. Over-cultivated positivism implies the rejection and the covering up of negative emotions… This compilation is here to reminds you to live fully your emotions and only think about what’s best for you. It’s OK not to always look on the bright side of things. Be gentle to yourself.

Zulu - Kill Them With Success

New track JABA by @b4mba & @mooquidi-alcaline

While travelling across Kenya waiting for a compact aircraft to take us to the coastline, the bustling urban sounds of Nairobi and the intriguing outcomes of processing the plant used in their beloved drink, known as "Jaba," served as our creative wellsprings. 
during this time we created this fusion dancehall anthem named JABA
This sound piece exudes warmth and boasts a meticulously honed sound arrangement that masterfully encapsulates the very ambiance that enveloped us at that time
