⩪ Bodies of Water ⩪ is a guided meditation I did on the element of water, inspired by my research on sound healing and the potency + memory that water holds in a physical, spiritual and political context. The immersion begins with a short poetry co-written with my dear Orsi and sets the scene in a dystopian future where water is scarcity. We also intuitively draw inspiration from the cycles of the moon to gently remember the intertwining between our bodies and the cosmos.

༄ Energy is a naturally vibrating substance, therefore, what holds our bodies together is purely sound ༄

༄ Here and now you are engulfed by a consciousness, greater than your own ༄ 

༄ Sound waves arise from the ocean of pure beingness, from the motion that changes reality ༄ 

༄ I invite you to feel all that you desire and all that you wish to come to you now. Use the power and flow of water to let your dreams in ༄ 

This is part of a film + techno set by Olivia Mendez we recorded as @konvent_official for a live stream session on the @monument-podcast

༄ Bodies of Water ༄ a guided meditation

050 Ina Valeska

mayo is described as a “dark horse”. An emerging talent, she has just released her debut EP on United Identities.

For many years she has worked behind the scenes, honing her craft and amassing knowledge which has lead to her status as a forward thinking, intricate selector. This mixtape is perhaps the best reflection of this commitment to her progression.

Titled “Sad Violin Music” – her debut EP features a strange and charming assortment of music which seems to touch upon a number of reference points. There are influences from new wave, EBM and techno. However, there is also a nod to the punk roots mayo identifies with following many years spent playing in bands.

mayo is a producer very much connected to the DIY undercurrent of underground music culture and this transition into a producer marks the next step in her musical journey which seems bound to reap her rewards.

Perfect Location in close collaboration with Cherushii’s family is proud to present NOBODY'S FOOL, STARLIGHT EXPRESS, and MANIC on vinyl for the first time. Packaged with original artwork and spread across three 12" vinyl records, we believe this reissue to be an exciting continuation of the Cherushii legacy.

https://cherushii.bandcamp.com/album/3-eps

Originally released by Cherushii on her Bandcamp in 2015 and 2016, these "3 EPs" encompass the radiant love, fluent creativity, and unapologetic joviality of not only the musical world of Cherushii, but also the person behind the music.

Nobody's Fool: https://cherushii.bandcamp.com/album/nobodys-fool-ep
Starlight Express: https://cherushii.bandcamp.com/album/starlight-express-ep
Manic: https://cherushii.bandcamp.com/album/manic-ep

The hand-drawn artwork, which has become iconic to the Cherushii sound, are original creations by Cherushii’s sister, Sabrina. With this reissue, we offer gloss large prints of the original cover art plus a new front cover: the lovable nudibranch pattern. Chosen by Sabrina after a dream visitation, the nudibranch is a fitting mascot for this project as Chelsea was a great admirer of invertebrates. The nudibranch is an otherworldly creature which harnesses its profound coloration to flourish in the infinity of the ocean. Before its colors pop, however, it must shed its adolescent shell.

Beyond Sabrina's artwork, these 3 EPs feature some of Cherushii’s talented friends and mentors, from her production with @goldendonna, lyrics by her longtime friend Kara Marie, and an appearance by her childhood music teacher Marcia Miget, to remixes by 100% SILK all-stars Bobby Browser and @magic_touch.

Limited to 300 pressings on 3 x 12" black vinyl in wide UV gloss spine, UV gloss sleeves. Comes with download cards and a Cherushii tarot card sticker.

In a celebration of the breadth of Brussels' thriving musical scene, Listen Festival has curated a collection of works that embodies the variety and quality so beloved by many. With contributions from Strapontin, PAL, Kato De Vidts, Azo, Dardenne, KranKk, Lunar Convoy, Kappen, Schroothoop, Bass Toast, Cheb Runner; the aptly named, ‘Our Scene’ compilation is a poignant snapshot of an ever evolving city’s musical expression.

Our focus for today falls upon Kato De Vidts and her track, Heightened Aliven. Ethereal pads, and an electro-tinged melody, guide a listener through the proverbial mists before alighting on a breakbeat base of kicks and snares. All of which provide a sense of energy, of tension, of what has come before and what will be.

Heightened Aliven and the rest of the ‘Our Scene’ vinyl compilation will be released as a limited run as of March 30th, 2022.
