Philipp Otterbach - The Bench

AOS was, initially, to be the second 12", and the third entry, in Ediciones Danza Negra's catalog. Three years went by, however, and after sorting through the challenges - financial, logistic and existential - of running an independent label in the South American context, and several iterations later, the release finally took shape: 
the fourth of our modest catalog, and the first to be recorded on tape. 

Why? What for? More-than-three years is enough time for those questions to appear, time and time again. It's enough time to cultivate the elusive humility that helps question if these records should be heard, or not. In Junn's case, we think it is. 

The problem with exoticising locality is to comodify music's origin as a shortcut for visibility in foreign markets, flags as beacons in an impenetrable ocean of music, instead of feeding back to the dynamics that birthed it. South America is inherent to the EDNA project not as a narrative crouch, but as a target: a space to occupy, 
mouths to feed, nights to agitate. AOS is precisely that, a collection of music made in Colombian soil, a signal asking for an echo from its streets and from its people, an invitation to the trance of the dancefloors that gave it its embrionary spark.  

Across 9 tracks Junn synthesizes (ha!) a sound that conjures images of a desolate and labyrinthic Bogotá, ambiguous rhythms that march in stasis while longing textures pulsate without finding the other. The tape includes revisions from fellow bogotanos Juanpablo and Lunate (the latter almost entirely responsible for the 3 year delay), who join Junn, and the choir of others who translate in audio their passing through the 
continent.

To recognize ourselves in stillness, the absence of collectivity and the danceless nights have changed the way we inhabit spaces once dedicated to sound. Multitudes dilute to form dancing silhouettes, each in their own restricted space. We remember a stuck highway to success, it's routes with no exit, and we hold in our hands the nostalgia of unfulfilled horizons. Multiple possibilities of recognition, abundance and kinship: the mirage of tomorrow. 

The straight arrow of time changes, too, breaks. After months of silence and newfound sounds, we live in a simultaneous past-present-future.The past is revitalized with ever new experience, but it carries with it the uncertainties of the future and we're mobilized by this multi-temporality. It is no longer longing and desire alone, but also paths that are untraveled and uncertain, ours after all. 

We walk between the steps we take, and amongst those that follow, through the transcendental sound that bound us to an instant, and not by the promised scenery.  

We walk because that's all that's left to do, shake off the stillness and build our present.The mirage of tomorrow vanishes and we're reflected in the uncertainty and in the presence of an infinite 
now: what do we listen to, how are we listening, with what artifacts, with whom. There are no answers, only the breaking of the questions and the renewed temporality, dense and conflictive, with tensions beyond the passing of time.  

We've carried with us a heavy and confusing tomorrow, one that misplaced our present. Maybe it's time to see, feel and listen to what we ate today.

Kirk Blunder - live on Бестиарий

Anna Vs June is the alias of Anna Papaioannou  - a contemporary music composer from Greece. She captures the perfect balance between electronic and traditional sounds, representing her western and eastern musical influences. Having travelled extensively in rural areas around Greece, she has gathered diverse singing practices from a wide range of areas stretching from the island of Crete to the North East edges of Epirus. 

In the third release of Yalançı presented by Anna Vs June, Anna comes into the picture to share her musical interpretation of growing up in a country that is constantly experiencing an identity crisis. Encompassing her research, all tracks on the record are based on traditional music from different parts of Greece, featuring the voices of Anna herself, in addition to guest performances by Stephanos Theodoropoulos from Nea Kios, Nikos Mais-Zogos from Lefkada and Alexis Voutouris with a violin performance. The continuous mix represents 5 songs pressed on heavy duty transparent vinyl and housed in a full printed sleeve with a photograph taken in the South of Azerbaijan by the label founder Ayaz.

Revaluation of Values

Philipp Otterbach’s psychedelic music never been a sunshine pleasure pill. But yet, the souls of his notes are deeply gentle. With “Everything Else Matters” the Berlin based DJ and producer now introduces his debut album, that follows a long introduction. 
Already since a while he devotes himself with endurance to music. He was an early resident at Düsseldorf’s shrine for outernational grooves Salon Des Amateurs. Since 2014 he releases music under his given name or as Grand Optimist on labels like Grokenberger Records, Knekelhuis or Themes For Great Cities and leaves marks as a remixer for artists like DJ Normal 4, Brainwaltzera, Wolf Müller and Niklas Wandt on labels like Growing Bin Records or Second Circle. His long DJ nights and already released music prefigures the spirits, that he now bunched on his first album. It’s a record, that does not want to pursue a straight categorization. It rather aims to spellbound with an atmosphere, that is made for moments in the absence of hysteria. Tribalistic, trip-hopping rhythms, menacing sounds, cold cool vocal passages, drone chants, morbid goth-ambient spheres, Indie rock indications: its many facets meld into some kind of black highway sound for thoughtful night prowlers in a dissociative state of mind. In context all particles achieve delicate sculptural effects that operate like the surprising architecture of a dream. A forward-thinking dream, that bundles something otherworldly, something unspeakable, that lives hauntingly between the sounds, rhythms and suggested melodies.
