‘Vicissitude’, the debut EP from Los Angeles-based producer Lag Switch, to be released on Parisian label Abîme, is a record that tells the story of light and dark in which those two collide within a single entity.

On one side, there is the harrowing sound design, the monstrous textures and the overall lugubrious ambiance throughout the record. It depicts the bleak existence of a solitary creature, repulsive yet confused, steadily dragging itself through a barren wasteland leaving pain and suffering in its wake.

As the name of the record suggests, its other side is infused with hopeful and scaterred chords progressions paired with elegant motifs. While obscured by a thick layer of dark, desperate matter, a powerful light seeks tries to bring order to the underlying chaos.

When taking a closer look and immersing oneself in Vicissitude, the apparent contradiction between those two fades away, and we’re let with a brilliant depiction of one’s humanity’s oldest story. The creature, despite its unrestrained nature, reaches a benevolent understanding of itself and blurs light and dark into a visceral manifestation of hope as the record concludes.

Aspiring Prague’s dark horse of a producer Ursula Sereghy & Warsaw’s very own romantic badboy Julek Ploski finally have a big pleasure to release their collaborative track 'Řeřicha'. Named after cress the plant, 'Řeřicha' has slowly grown next to the road heading towards Ursula’s debut album 'OK Box', released via Gin&Platonic - also home to Julek’s eponymous longplay opus 'spie'.

The 23rd release of katharsis is the collaborative album “Brutal Nature” by label founder jjjacob and various other artists. The idea of the project, which has been in progress for several years, was to extend the artistry to a more conversational form than the classic introverted style of the electronic music composer. The album shaped itself through several exchanges of ideas and stems between jjjacob and the numerous artists of the project.

The final product of the collaborations has a common theme of finding solace in the darkness and brutality of nature. This could be exemplified by the deep melancholy infused with an inner peace of losing a loved one in the mourning song “Threnody” with Hajj, or in the overcoming and healing of both internal and external wounds by the catharsis of music and art on the eloquent track “Trauma” with Bungalovv and Odete. As an introduction to the album, jjjacob and the local Beham created an auditory interpretation of self-blame with movie samples and abrasive low-end explosions, and to conclude it jjjacob and Slikback created the bass-heavy club lullaby “Bonum Nocte”.

The album follows jjjacob's previous two EPs on katharsis from last year, “Journey Before Destination” and “Internal Presence”, but it is his first full-length album since “Body Without Organs” released on the Spanish label Sweat Taste in 2020. The album artwork is a collabora

Violence is the self-titled third album from Baltimore born/ New York based artist, multi-instrumentalist, and cult figure Olin Caprison. Their compositions are known for vivisecting and seamlessly merging the idiosyncratic features of hip-hop, metal, RnB, and electronica, creating a language all their own. Complex soundscapes and haunted vocals that result in feelings of emotional extremes, from fear and loathing to elation and ecstasy.

@lucien_balconi's @drownedbylocals debut blurs the lines between PS1-era video games and real-world environments. 

‘SAW THE FEELING IN THE HEART OF THINGS’ is hyperreal and otherworldly in its attempt to bridge virtual and non-virtual realities. It’s natural phenomena made synthetic; drowsy nostalgia. 

Our premiere, ‘Gerris’, comes windswept and kaleidoscopic, placing the listener in an off-kilter world of digital detritus and dreamy, melancholic introspection. 

'SAW THE FEELING IN THE HEART OF THINGS' is out November 23rd on Drowned By Locals.

"Neonatufian Intercession" Is Taken From Heal Spell, A Small Suite of Mixfile Crafts and Originally Produced Music Recorded In The Aftermath Of Xovington’s Unfortunate Attempt To Inscribe A Wacky Satirical Fiction Onto Reality Throughout The Years of 2020, 2021, and 2022… Using Their Own Spine.

Each Article Within The Suite, Individually, Is An Attempt To Soundtrack A Physical Teleportation Sequence OUT Of The Cape Fear River Basin Region Of The Carolinas AND INTO A Promising New Territory On The Shores Of Miami Beach.

Furthermore, a declaration Xovington makes on their META-owned instagram account notes their interest to invite into the world “Civil Conceptions Of Planet That Tessellate And Transform With Respects To Ordinal Social And Moral Need”.
https://www.instagram.com/xovxamxum/

On their personal website, Xovington declares their aims (at the time of this works’s production) primarily reducing to an “attempt to engage a quantum age civility's utility of the cybernetic in the interest of circumventing post-contemporary [order]...” and, as well, circumventing the “discords” that order invites through its relation to “cybernetics”.
http://www.xxamxum.tech

Each of these come together to surface the heterophony of the various articles found in “Heal Spell”.

released on unseelie, 2022.

The air was thick with a cacophony of unearthly wails and eerie whispers that seemed to seep through the very fabric of reality. Each sound that emerged from the dimensional portal sent shivers down the spine, as if beckoning forth something ancient and malevolent from the other side. The discordant symphony of noises echoed ominously, filling the room with a sense of foreboding that hung heavy in the air. It was as though the fourth eye had opened, revealing a realm beyond comprehension where dark forces lurked, waiting to break through and unleash chaos upon the world.
