This track was sent to me by Yannick Pozo Vento, aka Réelle, who was a dear friend of mine and who unfortunately passed away in 2018. I always kept it as a treasure. This track means the world to me and I believe Yannick once said that this is their favourite piece they have ever produced. It was up on their SoundCloud once but disappeared very quickly. I never knew what I wanted to do with it. I still don't know. It felt like alot of pressure, but I now decided to upload it here because I think it needs to be out there for people to listen. I hope you will treat it with respect. 

Lilith is a figure and symbol of feminism and femme sexual liberation. However, in medieval Europe, she was often portrayed as the wife, concubine, or grandmother of Satan. She is best known as the first wife of Adam, who she demanded equality with and, failing to get it, left in anger. The numerical value of Lilith’s name equals the Hebrew word for “screech.” Thus, Lilith is the “Demon of screeching” and “the princess of screeching” and is personified as a screech owl. Astrologically speaking, she represents the power and desire that's hidden within us like our deep arousals, instincts, and dark (sometimes uncomfortable) truths.

I always considered this one Réelle's masterpiece. It's very different from their other releases and works with their signature graphic synthesized, theremin like sound, that weeps alongside a pizzicato cello - creating a serious atmosphere of strength and glory accompanied by a notion that for me just sounds and feels like pride in both a femme appearance and experience. Like a femme figure with 10 inch heels walking up a huge spiral staircase out of glas, leaving behind and looking down on what only could be described as patriarchy.

I miss you, Réelle. I love you forever.

Second Other - 'Shine Bright'

From the album "What Stays In Vegas" out 22 November.

A chance meeting in Bucharest two summers ago saw Ratty Slay Johnson and Soopie reunite. It has been a much discussed topic amongst art and music circles as to how and why Rat Section abruptly fell into obscurity in the late 90s and up to this point their sudden disappearance remains a mystery.

Their sparse back catalogue seems inaccessible now. A dedicated collecting community known as ‘Club Rodentia’ sought to preserve their tape and vinyl output, amassing releases from Ratty Slay Johnnie’s sophomore release ‘Tails from Estonia’ to Soopi and Slay John’s last known excursion ‘Tashkent Knights’.

An unfortunate occurrence led to the destruction of this archive in 2005. Member of Club Rodentia Carlos Moscato was quoted in an article of NME magazine saying “In the dark of night, a fire emerged, I was responsible at the time for the care of the archive, as standard Rodentia protocol we would move the collection every 3 months, for both preservation and for local access to Rat Sections catalogue. On the final night of my duty I heard footsteps, a crash, and before my eyes years of hard work erupted in flames. Since this incident I haven’t found even a crumb of Rat Sections body of work and people say we will never see them again." Carlos Moscato was correct, until now.

Rat Section have been active for the last two years with appearances in London, Berlin, Malmö, Melbourne, Paris and Los Angeles, it looks like we are finally going to hear Rat Section again. They have found a home for their debut album on Halcyon Veil.

Rat Section are back in the spotlight.

RADIO:TRAUMA 024: MYEN

MYEN can be broken down as a project of audio hyperstition, sonic tulpamancy and self described funeral music. His music is often driven by immersive and cinematic sound design, heavy distortion and an overall feeling of suspense. He is currently based in Leipzig, Germany, and recently self-released his last Album "KARNER".

His last shows included London's Underground series VULCAN, and similar events in Berlin like Sad Prompt Engineering. He also recently worked on the Soundtrack for Brig Huezo's postdigital performance piece "The Death At The Code!". Topics that currently influence MYEN's sound include death culture(s), Countermyths, Accelerationism, Hyperstition and Chaos Magick.

For this mix, MYEN has channelled dark energies into an array of chaotic, euphoric and anarchic sounds, manifesting into a cry for freedom. A soundtrack of desire, longing and anger, this mix is truly unmatched.

RADIO:TRAUMA 024: MYEN

The final katharsis release of 2024 is the 26-track compilation “Physical Force” featuring a wide range of affiliated artists from both the international and local Copenhagen electronic music scene. As the title hints, Physical Force delves into the visceral, bodily aspects of music, inviting its contributors to explore the theme of movement as a central element in their compositions. Each artist was encouraged to focus on rhythm, groove, energy, and the physicality of sound, which resulted in drum-heavy release from start to finish. While there is a consistent emphasis on rhythm and a bodily connection to the music, the tracks vary widely in style and sonic texture, ranging from big melodic anthems, gritty experimental techno, heavy jungle bangers, and beyond.
