ASTRLTRPHY #003 - XMTR 'Scraped Air' EP

Starting the year with the 3rd release of our sub-label Astral Therapy with the London-based producer @xmtr.

'Scraped Air' imagines the sky as earth, creating its form with intricate drums and a melodic atmosphere that takes you on a therapeutic journey that stirs and excavates everything that is inside your mind, bringing all of the elements together within yourself.

Scraped Air is an attempt to create the imagined textures of the atmosphere.

Serioushuman & Shchukin (Septembre 2022)

Razor-sharp drum 'n' bass, cutting-edge jungle and extraterrestrial machine sounds.

Kamikaze Space Programme and Cocktail Party Effect step in with four meticulously designed mind-bending tracks, offering unbelievable exhibits of their dexterity in crafting futuristic jungle and razor-sharp drum ‘n’ bass.

Spiced up with a devastating array of extraterrestrial machine sounds and wicked sinister ambience, Food for Thought is for all those who continue to feed their minds with criticisms, refusing to adhere to a system that wants us technological adults but spiritual and emotional infants.

“...But you survived!” Cit.

BURNING SUN

SYLVERPHASE - Bounce Again

This song was supposed to have lyrics, but that wasn't the main focus of why I made this song. The main focus was to show the difference from how I used to work to how I work now. Hopefully you all somewhat hear the difference from four years ago of how I used to work from how I work now. Thank you all for taking the time to listen. I hope to make new songs just like this one in the near future.

Fakeout

If there’s an artist to successfully traverse the treacherous divide between drum and bass, breakbeat and techno it’s Christopher Jarman’s prevailing alias, Kamikaze Space Programme. With roots indebted to the music he released on labels like Renegade Hardware under his Raiden alias, his abstract, field recorded, industrial and broken admission into the annals of electronica has seen his music backed, supported and released by the heaviest of renowned labels - namely Luke Slater's Mote Evolver, Mord to Osiris Music, Mord and Mote Evolver, WNCL, to the freshly minted Eomac’s Eotrax and further afield on Trust via Kamikaze Space Programme’s electro-minded wares. 

Having proved himself a razor-sharp edge of meticulous drum and bass production when rising up through the ranks of the genre’s definitive platforms, Kamikaze Space Programme’s hybrid sound, has joined the dots through a constellation of labels inhibiting a grey zone between UK club music and steely brutalist industrial textures. 

An accomplished session musician and avid field recording artist, Jarman’s music by and large is made up of foley sound design and sonic experimentation using bespoke apparatus and homemade microphones. Capturing internal resonances and electromagnetic radiation of objects, re-amplified or organic, classic hardware dub mixing completes the Kamikaze Space Programme aesthetic. Having worked with BBC Radiophonic Workshop and Rotterdam’s Re:Vive initiative too, there’s no denying Jarman of his credentials, with his repute as a formidable DJ and live act backed by his place in heavy weight line ups across the globe, be they at Berghain, Kompass Klub or Dommune to performing at festivals like Atonal, Krake and Kiev’s Next Sound.

Other collaborative projects, furthermore, have found their way through Simon Shreeve (aka Mønic, of Downwards and Kryptic Minds fame) to his Osiris Musik collaboration with Adam Winchester (Appleblips) under the moniker, Dot Product. He’s also proved a deft hand in the remix by taking on productions by Planetary Assault Systems, Emika and The Exaltics to NY’s The Horrorist.

Encompassing the most brutal of industrial sound design alongside intrinsic field recordings and the sleeker, low tempos and frenetic energy of jungle, breakbeats and drum and bass, Jarman’s ability to maneuver between genre and style sees the music of Kamikaze Space Programme defy classification while spiralling from one nether-spectrum of sound to the next.
