Bristol’s Sarahsson is a force to behold. A composer, producer, performance artist and DJ, her intricate work is a visceral expression of divine queerness and her experience with synaesthesia.

Originally hailing from Exeter, when she moved to London she discovered a queer community that hadn’t been present in her hometown and so began to explore the rejection of genres and the dissolution of gender. Drained by the male dominance in electronic music, Sarahsson’s first forays into more experimental sounds and parties helped direct her own personal journey—exploring the feminine, synaesthesia and blurring the lines between binaries.

Inspired as much by the natural world as she is by gore and harsh noise, Sarahsson fuses elements of classical music with metal, experimental electronics and hardcore. Her debut LP The Horgenaith explores themes which Sarahsson equates with queerness: “Transmutation, embodying contradicting parts of oneself,” she says. “Finding familiarity in difference is a lot of what queerness is about for me”. A multi-dimensional commentary on “femininity's cultural proximity throughout history to nature and rediscovering the body as a landscape, its constant state of flux and transience.”

Joining label alumni AYA, Kai Whiston, Emily Glass and more, Sarahsson’s signing to Illegal Data is a testament to her unique sonic offering and her visually arresting live performance, which involves classical and contemporary instrumentation and various audio interfaces.

With a grant from Saffron Records she also spent time at a woodwork studio building her own Daxophone, a wildly curious bowed instrument, and rejected pre-made samples, choosing to create her own instead. Field recordings of marsh reeds and whispers become percussion atop the blasting sound of crushing waste removal machines.

A truly special voice in the current climate of electronic music, Sarahsson brings together her unique ear for melody, rich textural harmony and dramatic narratives to achieve something genuinely awe inspiring and timeless on her debut LP. Creating a piece of work so honest and nurturing yet accessible and open, it raises open questions rather than dishing out rigid statements.

On her emotionally charged sound Sarahsson says: “I'm trying to reach a very specific feeling. One tiny point in the middle of a nuclear explosion where everything happens all at once, bittersweet and fierce, a moment when opposites collide into one. The nexus point.”

Having already performed in parts of the UK and Europe with the likes of Lyra Pramuk, Oklou, Swan Meat etc. and as part of a SOPHIE tribute show for Club Quarantine in 2021, Sarahsson now has her sights set on bringing her album to a live setting across Europe and the rest of the world.

“I like to think of my music as being three genres: Hybrid, Visual and Pulse. These are genres I invented. These songs are mostly Visual / Pulse with slight Hybrid elements too.”
—Minoyimn


life is brutal and it’s full of brutal tales, human.
last autumn i had the pleasure of washing piles of dishes and listening to Kenji Miyazawa’s short stories ( i pay only 2€ for my audiobook app ). it was getting colder and these tales about facing the most basic and deepest everyday truths ( afterlife, religion, guilt, innocence, self-value ) almost made me weep to a dirty bowl. their language purity, delicate worldbuilding, and effortless characters were always fully interconnected with death, bullying and longing.
and it wasn’t a Grimm-like, fairytale obscurity that hit me so hard. it was the struggle of overcoming everyday darkness.

( i’m talking not only about a great children's book but mostly about my feelings towards Minoyimn’s sounds )


“Broken Pedant” of course comes from a world like “Bioshock” but every fantasy world comes from a world of sorrow, human.
〉that’s reality.
〉face that.
〉it’s dangerous but it’s worth it.
this is how this ep speaks to me and i cherish every moment of it.


thank you gos and Mosky wendolin for your remixes expanding this beautiful world.
this is it.

Signal Wave Hotel – Edit Version
This is the edit version of Signal Wave Hotel. The original track was never uploaded to SoundCloud, but it can still be found on YouTube.
The track is fully produced by myself in FL Studio — no external wav packs or third-party samples, everything was created from scratch.
A dark, atmospheric piece where church-like sounds blend with a recurring Morse-style signal, building tension throughout. 
Thanks for listening, and feel free to share your thoughts! 🚀🎶

Réelle - 'Kissing Myself' EP (DN009)w Dis Fig remix / digital / out now
'Ghamccccxc vRR' LP (DN012 / digital & cd / out 25.05.18
Mastered by Helmut Erler at D&M
@re-elle
@dis_fig

For their debut on Swiss experimental club label Danse Noire Berlin based Cuban-German artist Réelle offers a glimpse into a world of broken beauty, emerging from personal pain to produce the cathartic Kissing Myself. A highly personal work,the four compositions are offerings of acceptance and release as Réelle attempts to navigate their art through schizophrenia and queer erotic practice.

“Kissing Myself can be seen as a positive statement encouraging unconditional self love. As we are hopefully progressing towards a future utopia, I think it is crucial to first accept and embrace our true nature as human beings and individuals in order to be able to spread positivity.”

The eponymous opener is a glistening ballad partially disguised as a club -ready anthem. Once the heavy bass stabs peel away, the lyrical lead melody reveals an emotional depth which takes centre stage through the rest of the EP. The gorgeous vignette ‘Smile,’ with its slow -motion march, develops its richness through its cascading synths before the joyous ‘Pink’ juxtaposes alien R&B loops, choral samples and scattershot drum interventions, reinventing and reimagining the composition as a lonely vocal falls into focus. The final track by Réelle ‘God,’ featuring Cuban -American artist Lamb Kebab, elevates the refrain “Bitch, I am a God,” wrenching the masculine archetype into a feminine archetype above undulating microtonal harmonies, before being abruptly disappearing.

The EP closes with a remix by fellow Berliner and exponent of club experimentations Dis Fig: ‘All I Have Left’ responds to Réelle’s lush productions by dragging their work back into the club with a darkened tunnel vision seeping back into the mindset.

Key to Réelle’s sound is the practice of painting textures and melodies directly into their productions, transferring Réelle’s digitalbrushstrokes into florid melodies. Kissing Myself exposes the path which Réelle has begun to explore with their second album, Ghamccccxc vRR, released on Danse Noire shortly after.
