Taken from SBKT049: Osheyack - Intimate Publics
Release date: 8th June 2022

Intimate Publics, Osheyack’s second album, is an homage to Shanghai, the city he has called home since 2012. Over the past ten years the producer has evolved from an avid club-goer to a key member of the vital soundscape that emerged from ALL Club and its predecessor, the now defunct club The Shelter. As hinted by the title, which draws on American social theorist Michael Warner’s work on publics and counterpublics, the album expresses a commitment to mining the utopian potential of club music, forging new worlds and generating future social relations, just as the artist bids farewell to the city at a moment of uncertain transition. While tracks like 'Edging' and 'Thrall' continue to present his signature collage of harder club music, the rest of the record reveals a shift to synthetic approximations of acoustic instruments. 'Still', the central track of the album, is a piece composed almost entirely of samples found on Vocaloid (a vocal synthesizer developed by Yamaha, commonly used to give voice to Japanese virtual idols). While echoing themes explored in previous projects, like the nature of realism and authenticity in a techno-mediated landscape, Intimate Publics is charged with an unexpected emotional candor and vulnerability, unveiling a personal side Osheyack is only beginning to explore.

"Crack is the second single from Mt. Saint Michel’s upcoming album titled Rush, releasing next week.
Rush is focused on capturing the feeling of the struggle that comes with living your life around strangers, unable to adapt to their habits and way of living. The pressure of being around others but feeling empty at the same time. Rush is a snapshot of the issues people are experiencing in their day to day lives. Rush is about accepting yourself and focusing on what makes you feel fulfilled.
The second single Crack aims to present the feeling of someone breaking out of the barrier of social norms and expecations. Crack was built around a simple jungle instrumental, which quickly became a three-part experience filled with chopped and pitched layers of vocals and drums. The heavy use of warped and distorted samples further demonstrate the point of the album - the point of not adapting to what seems to be the normal , rather choosing a unique way of living."

The next premiere in line is a wonderful triple collab of Mt. Saint Michel, pyylen and Hogett entitled "Crack". This song is the second single off the upcoming album of Mt. Saint Michel comig out during the first half of June. Feeling more than grateful to have this massive banger as a premiere at the Agency.

RADIO:TRAUMA 019: NOVASDEMISE
Novasdemise is a Lithuanian-born and London-based DJ, producer, visual artist and set designer. Their musical practice explores dark and intense soundscapes, which take inspiration from horror movies, sci-fi and the future, a range of influences they categorise as “Avant-hardcore”. Their work pushes industrial and raw sounds to their brink, focusing on deconstruction and innovative sound design in the context of hardcore music.
	Their production and DJ work has taken them all over the UK and to the precipice of the electronic underground. They have previously played events alongside collectives such as Syphen, Hypoxia, and KomaVictim and at venues such as Corsica Studios, The Cause, Venue MOT, Electrowerkz, and the White Hotel. Their ear for the underground is unparalleled, and they have curated one of our most futuristic and cutting-edge mixes yet.
	For this mix, Novasdemise has chosen a range of deconstructed hardcore sounds which manifest in an avant-garde soundscape that evokes both the future of hardcore and the memory of intelligent dance music from the past, both boundary-pushing and cutting-edge; this is a dose of the next generation of club sounds to be consumed in totality.
