Made at a time when NYC was just getting back into the swing of things (RIP) The Ooga Booga EP is A fun collection of high octane tracks optimal for blending optimal for looping, optimal for fun! Just a couple of Tools ⚒️   - WTCHCRFT


Brooklyn’s favorite party rocker / prince of acid / crop-top enthusiast WTCHCRFT returns to Sorry Records with four brand new tracks jam-packed with speed groovin’ acid, uniquely functional rump shaker techno, 160 bpm breakbeat freak-outs, and powerhouse arena rave weaponry! The Ooga Booga EP [SR50] — our fiftieth catalog release and our last release of this long, hard, and wacky year.


Kind of got a bit of an American rave underground supergroup in the mix as well ! 😇 First off — our prolific and peerless friend Bored Lord is back for her fourth (!!) Sorry Records remix of 2021 following her insane contributions to our records from Tony G and PowerPlay (PlayPlay & C. Powers). She’s fresh off the release of her debut 12” The Last Illusion — the first signee to Octo Octa and Eris Drew’s T4T LUV NRG label. Her 100% originals set at Nowadays Nonstop this last July was one of the best dance floor experiences I’ve had all reopening. And of course we are so happy to have the great Nikki Nair on a Sorry project for the first time. The Atlanta-via-Tennessee producer and DJ has been a consistent benevolent force for the American underground for years and his raw power has been evident via records for Scuffed Recordings, Banoffee Pies, Lobster Theremin, Dirtybird, and TRAM Planet. Nikki’s the first out-of-town DJ we’ve ever been lucky enough to bring to NYC for a party, destroying Bossa Nova Civic Club last summer for our Bossa Radio collaboration with Worst Behavior. He’s a lovely person and we’re so glad to have his absolute kitchen sink 160 breaks rollercoaster “Nikki Nair’s Shook Mix” for this release.

Animistic Beliefs - MERDEKA

With their profound take on electronic music, Animistic Beliefs have steadily solidified their spot in the global underground. Influenced by cultural concepts such as ancestry, animism and mythology, as well as the languages of political techno, punk, bubbling and IDM, Linh Luu and Marvin Lalihatu consistently translate their visions into sensitive productions as well as high-octane live performances. On their new record, MERDEKA, the artists explore and embrace their cultural heritage in all of its pride, pain and complexity. MERDEKA symbolizes Animistic Beliefs’ breaking free, coming to terms with their changing selves and letting go of external expectations. The record rethinks childhood memories, confronts the generational trauma left by (post-)colonialism, and re-connects Linh and Marvin – respectively of Vietnamese-Chinese and Dutch-Moluccan descent – with their formative cultures. 

MERDEKA marks their first step in an overall departure from western club music. For its layered sound, Animistic Beliefs once again draw from the past, present and future of global club music, creating a sonic space where fast techno, warped breakbeats and ambient soundscapes make way for the augmented influence of (Southeast Asian) tribal music. 
The record incorporates Indonesian scales and recordings of 
the Tahuri (a wind instrument made out of a conch shell), Totobuang (Gamelan-like gongs) and Tifa drums, known as ‘the Moluccan heartbeat’. 
There is no audible distinction between old and new, between organic and digital, between instrumentation and voice. 
It is through words that the artists further touch on their experience; To Dream About Water opens with a stirring spoken word fragment by Marvin, marking the first time his voice is recognizably featured, whereas Khi Minh Gap Lai (‘Until We Meet Again’) centres on a Vietnamese poem by Linh, in which she beseeches her ancestors and finds a safe haven for unanswered questions. 

In true Animistic Beliefs fashion, MERDEKA will set fire to sweltering clubs and (sleepless) dreams. Yet, for the artists, it is essential to amplify the stories that spark that flame and keep it burning. 
The release of MERDEKA follows CACHE/SPIRIT, their ongoing collaboration with visual artist Jeisson Drenth, which extensively explores the artists’ intersectional identities. As such, the latest album is the next step within a bigger, introspective investigation. More unapologetic than ever, MERDEKA embodies a turning point on Animistic Beliefs’ ongoing journey towards self-acceptance – fuelled by the sound of urgency.

Me dan ganas de llorar como matan a la gente, en nuestro bello país
