Eterna - the new label from Lisbon run by local mainstay @mariaamoramormaria - presents its first release 'Aerosol' by another of the city's most interesting electronic music artists, @bleiddd. A true sonic polymath, BLEID is known for their range as a music-maker and as a DJ: ambient, techno, reggaeton,
guitar-led jams are all an integral part of their musical lexicon. In this EP, though, all eyes are most definitely on the dancefloor.
Opener 'Rubber Band Land Calling' is an off-kilter percussive exercise held together by subby kicks that can't seem to stand still, punctuated with lush pad washes that breathe life and optimism into the otherwise defying atmosphere. Joyful resistance in a track. Drum experimentalism is also served
in 'Hellastic Fantastic', with snares taking center stage and the kick pattern zig zagging dynamically between broken motifs and four to the floor hypnotism. 
Things remain on an ever-changing drum-led tip - but get slightly darker - in 'New Age Waste', all sound design impact and perfectly executed leftfield drum programming that wants us to shake our hips, not just bang our heads, as we dance. 'Desce', homonymous to BLEID's party series, feels like
an homage to queer rave innovation by referencing iconic vocal and hoover hooks over a broken, genre-defying dance beat.
@boredlord steps in for the first remix of the record: the iconic American artist, part of the T4T LUV NRG family, picks up BLEID's opening track and turns it into an imaginative breakbeat-led groover where vibes reign supreme.
Local legend and a key part of the Príncipe family @nidiasukulbembe redefines cadency and swing with a complex but natural - and expertly sculped, watch out for the sound design on this one - reinterpretation of 'Hellastic Fantastic'. A hair-raising finale to an EP that screams fresh perspectives: the way we make music and dance is changing and Eterna is here to document it.

Night Oceann Live - MUTANT RADIO + OPAL [01.06.2024]

In January 2024 and as part of her performance "Basement Scene", American artist Ser Serpas invites performers to seize the sculptures presented in her “I Fear” exhibition at the Bourse de Commerce. To the rhythm of one of her radical DJ sets, they dismantle the sculptures on the Auditorium stage, so as to return them to the state in which they were abandoned and found.  Vocals: Felipe Vasquez

This double act is a bit special.

Osàre! Editions x Sameheads - C90 Special - Released in physical form a couple of months ago and long since gone appears courtesy of the long standing and musically alingned satelites of Osàre & Sameheads.

2 artists we both admire, and agreed are long overdue being asked for a 45 min concept mix.

Diamin & RRRKTRA belong together on this one. Acid tinged, industrial soundscapes, overlayed with gorgeous melancholic sonic droplets.

We adore what you've made for us. The time has come for a wider audience.

With love.
