From "Beetz", Konejo's 2nd LP out February 6th, 2021 on IRM Netlabel : https://indierockmag.bandcamp.com/album/beetz

From the label : "Avec Beetz et ses 35 vignettes adeptes du contrepied dont les atmosphères cathartiques laissent de l'espace aux beats ludiques et aux mélodies immédiates, Konejo tente de trouver l'équilibre entre sampling, instrumentation et textures, à la croisée de l'electronica versant lo-fi, du hip-hop instru bricolo, de l'ambient, et des musiques de films qui continuent de nourrir son imaginaire par boucles interposées. Un album initialement conçu comme une "beat tape" pour faire évoluer dans un format plus court et percutant les soundtracks clairs-obscurs de son premier LP Snapping Back In, et aussi riche en guests talentueux qu'en télescopages improbables !"

Liner notes : "I always hated beet, nearly as much as the Beatles... but i love beetles, beats and collage of bits and pisces (especially on April's Fools') so i guess you could say that i have a bitter/sweet relationship with those bits and pieces of personal stories and imaginary films focused on beats - and yet, still very much shaped and textured by bits of vintage B movie samples. But hey, no sweat ! I actually don't hate any of it, the bitter part being mostly about a few memories and situations from another life that inspired me some of those instrumentals and most of my previous record "Snapping Back In". With a little help from my friends and guests, i even came to consider most of these Beetz like sweets for the ear... which i hope you'll do too, despite the relatively intentional lack of consistency that "fake beat tape" tries to play with !"

Puppet Without A Ghost (from "Beetz" LP out February 6th)

La Fausse Patte
Artiste visuel & musicien hybride 🎨🎤
Je crache des mondes mentaux en dessins saturés, beats bruts et textes coup de poing. Corps éclatés, créatures urbaines et poésie chaotique : création instinctive comme pulsion de survie.

From France (Lyon), Pink Room is Sophie Jeannin’s solo audio project since 2000. Noise maker and multi-instrumentalist, I create drones and dark ambient improvisations with synthesizers. Most of them are used to generate audioreactive visuals.

GROSSO GADGETTO

Since 2002, far away from the classic formats, Grosso Gadgetto puts his mark in contemporary Indie hip-hop, the music of movies, contemporary shows and video games.
He  voluntarily destabilizes the listener by these sound deluges, under a fire nourished of scary atmospheres, drone layers, pervert breakbeats, metal guitars and catchy and addicting melodies, perfect soundtracks for a sick and claustrophobic science fiction movie that John Carpenter would probably not deny.

Climb aboard my unstoppable, terror-fueled steamtrain of horror and descent into the murkiest mazes of the human mind.
Let's spread filth and scourge, leaving behind a scraping trail of experimental abomination. Ride with me blindly into the avant-garde valley of distortion, rust, and dust. 

I don’t chase clean sound. I drag it through dirt. Hear my corrupted drums, macabre spheres, and infernal, filthy drones as we’re crossing into the realm of rot.

Sinister witches with glowing eyes fly beside us.
Diabolical scourge beasts escort us through the lands of grime and sorrow, where twisted metamorphoses crawl through utopian ruins, and mischievous delusions whisper in dead languages.

Let the melodies of raw chaos consume you. Get possessed by a paralyzing atmosphere of deviant rhythms and gruesome sound.

This is where I bury feelings and warp your sense of beauty, contorting your musical taste beyond repair.

Welcome to the rot.

I am an inexperienced musical entity using the most basic tools of the digital age to copy and paste whatever into imaginary post-whatever soundtracks. Inner cinematics... i do nothing, samples do it all.
