On June 27, 2025, a long-dormant signal reactivates from Hamburg's hidden places: Helena Hauff and F#X return as Black Sites with R4 on Tresor Records—their first full-length album and the first release under the moniker since 2014. Like a hieroglyphic recently discovered and translated, R4 feels more like a long-awaited resumption than a comeback.

Recorded to tape with minimal editing or post-production the record is a classic example of the symbiotic relationship that can come from the interaction of human and machine. This punk ethos isn't invoked through distortion alone, but through method; in the album's breaking from the received wisdom of hardness tethered to speed as most of the tougher pieces are lower BPM and vice versa (with one notable exception in the mind-melting stomp of BLOKK).

Across ten tracks, Black Sites traverse a landscape where genre dissolves into intention. It migrates through electro's danceability, acid house's corrosion, and into the liminal realm of machine funk—a genre coined by Andrew Weatherall, which sounds like the results of technology dreaming of soul where the emphasis is on live execution, on immediacy over perfection—a sound forged in the act of creating, not polishing.

In a 2013 interview, around the time of the first Black Sites EP, Hauff was quoted as saying that she wants "things to fit together properly, but on another level, I really want them to make sense together." That principle animates R4: The album's form reveals itself in time, with each movement echoing and amplifying the others to create a synergistic whole.

From the opening crawl of C4 (a name that like the music foreshadows the explosions to come) to the end-of-the-night bliss of MOTHERJAM via the intense peaks of BLOKK, 707, and classic acid track 3D it's clear that R4 is a work made with serious intent; a refutation of a world where streaming has made the two-minute single the dominant musical form again. R4 demands immersion, not just attention. It is not a collection of tracks, but a singular, recursive experience: a mirror in which sound and listener repeatedly rediscover one another.

PREMIERE: YUKIMASA - s.o.t.o. Infinity [Art Bei Ton]

Promo de mon dernier EP "Les matières errantes" qui sortira le 1 Juillet 2025 sur le label lyonnais Sous Traitance.

Catartsis - 19 Juin 2025

This remix was initially meant to be part of a remix contest, but back then, I lacked both the spark of inspiration and the necessary skills. Recently, while cleaning up, I stumbled upon the stems and immediately found myself in the creative flow. In just a few strokes, this track came to life—one that I would have loved to submit back then, hoping to create an official remix for the incredible Sebastian Mullaert. However, since the deadline has long passed, I wanted to share with you what I can sometimes create from such fascinating stems and how I interpret this track. Be sure to check out the original and other tracks by Sebastian; he is truly an inspiring artist.
