Renowned techno-rap producer Brodinski and percussionist and sound artist Sébastien Forrester team up for a highly detonative debut EP, following an ambient first transmission called 'Slabs' as part of the YOUTH label's 'Sports 2' compilation last March. Made over email while trapped indoors throughout the first lockdown in Paris, 'Swap 1' is a deep, propulsive collision of sounds and vibrations between two Paris-based artists eager to explore fresh musical areas and craft a common vision of electronic freakiness.

'Swap 1' is a land of contrasts, peaks and abysses, built around the idea of diffraction. Fusing Brodinski's eminently singular approach to trap with Sébastien Forrester's raw, percussive take on club music, 'Swap 1' delivers four volcanic, raging yet always danceable, moshpit-friendly sonic vignettes.

'766 Three Houses' opens up the whole with hellish, constantly morphing vocal chops, uncanny synth residues and demonic tom rolls for a real crunching effect. Intersecting a half-step rap beat and a gqom-infused riddim, 'Sleep Halo' appears like a real dancefloor mutant, equally industrial, cavernous and playful - its shrill bursts of white noise seem to battle the pummeling kicks to occasionally reach the surface. 'Thunder' is the slowest, murkiest one of the bunch, yet it ends up as a frenetic cacophonous magma of pounding live percussion recordings, ear-piercing screams and rattling subs. 'MMB' probably best displays the two producers' will to weave their respective conceptions of electronic production: Brodinski sculpts a monstrously heavy, crackling trap beat while Forrester provides an unyielding battle drums polyrhythm to the track, burying the trancey keyboard motif under tons of distorted lava.

On New Existence, personalbrand presents three fidgeting, hyperactive tracks that use grime-inspired motifs and experimental club influences to communicate a sense of future shock, the feeling that change and transience has become so rapid that it is now overwhelming. Yet rather than becoming preoccupied with cascading catastrophes, the tracks' more abrasive aspects repeatedly interact with organic elements, alluding to decelerated ways of living that combine technological development with appreciation of the natural world.


personalbrand makes experimental electronic music and is currently based nowhere in particular. Realising the futility in earlier fixations on dystopias and doomerism, he now uses music to explore how visions of hope might be reflected in the shards of our contemporary failures.

Producer, curator, and founder of experimental label POSTWORLD, the current iteration of personalbrand is exploring how visions of hope might be reflected in the shards of our contemporary failures. Despite his moniker, he is presently focused on illuminating the music and art of others that share this anticipative outlook.

personalbrand has released music on TAR and Over My Body, and is a former resident DJ at Taipei's FINAL.

𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 - 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁

co-released with SODAA Club, 3 Swords Republic, Hard Return, HI-NRG, New Scenery, Sly Tone, and TOO MUCH INFORMATION !!

We're happy to contribute to this special release organized by SODAA Club, to support their activity with a selection of tracks from their compilation, curated by members of the Global URL Nation  (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)

+++
SODAA Club is a community developing a decentralised governance model for a music & arts venue in London.

Their first release explores the foundations of their own sound - with members and friends of their commmunity, the 31-track compilation is "genreless and fluid, self-organised and bottom-up."

Inspired by the decentralised release of Alkisah by Senyawa, any label sharing similar values could release their own version : "the artists and the labels participating in this compilation believe in a more equitable and collaborative future for our scenes, one guided by principles of solidarity economy, distributed decision-making, and the rejection of capitalist notions of culture, music and space."

+++
The profits will be split between the artists and SODAA, as a way to raise funds for their long-term goals, with a part going to the labels for their help.

If you want to support the project further, you can also donate via Open Collective : opencollective.com/sodaaclub

Individual music release for our video work MADE VANITAS for Triple Canopy (NYC): https://www.canopycanopycanopy.com/contents/made-vanitas

Big Bang X TZECHAR - Loser x Bang Bang Bang

Artist: Hyph11e
Title: Vanishing Cinema
Label: SVBKVLT
Cat. No: SBKT017
Release Date: 10th November 2017
Artwork: Wang Newone
Mastering: Raphael Valensi
Format: Digital
Distribution: Cargo UK

In 2016, DJ, producer and member of Genome 6.66MBP Tess Sun, aka Hyph11e, began work on her debut EP.

Living a double life as a composer for TV by day, and DJing around Shanghai by night, the passing of time often stifled and spurred on her production process. After having a dream of a Vanishing Cinema, a place where memories disappear in front of your eyes through the passage of time, Hyph11e quit her day job to focus on her own music full-time. The result is four original, uncompromising tracks that owe as much to vintage noise and industrial music as they do to field recordings and contemporary club music.

On the remixes, Tzusing tweaks and tunes “Black Pepper”, driving it into idiosyncratically ominous territory; M.E.S.H. rebuilds “Unknown Number” from the ground up until it reaches the clouds; while Kid Antoine takes “Escapism”s warning sirens and cuts them into playful, bouncing cascades.

Track list:

01. Black Pepper 炎
02. Unknown Number 未知
03. Escapism 庇
04. Speak To Me 呓语 feat. Sharon Stewart
05. Black Pepper炎 (Tzusing Remix)
06. Unknown Number 未知 (M.E.S.H. Remix)
07. Escapism 庇 (Kid Antoine Remix)

With is borderline obsessive ìwonkinessî longtime Hakuna Kulala collaborator Julien Deblois aka Debmaster, trims his mustache every day the same way he trims his music. A kind of tornado of bleeps finding its strength as much in hip-hop as in more obscure genres such as Moldavian 8bit or African accordion.

Following from his production on Mc Yallah's Ndi Mukazi, Debmaster presents his first debut ep on Hakuna Kulala. Crocodiles Homieees reworks African field recordings from Kampala's Boutiq Studio's archives.

Pelada - Movimiento Para Cambio
Format: LP / Digital
Cat.No: PAN 102
Release Date: 04 October 2019
Purchase: bit.ly/2N5ID0M / bit.ly/2yWc1yu

Movimiento Para Cambio, is the full-length and debut for PAN from Montreal based duo Pelada. Comprising of vocalist Chris Vargas and producer Tobias Rochman, they have gained international attention through the city’s underground warehouse rave scene.

An urgent, headstrong body of work, the LP uses the music as a mechanism for delivering ideas central to the group’s moral and political ethos. Vargas explores themes of power, identity, surveillance and environmental justice atop Rochman’s raw mix of rave synths, acid basslines, breakbeats and dembow rhythms.

While at times unpredictable, the album is unified in its fast and loose approach. A Mí Me Juzgan Por Ser Mujer (‘I Am Judged Because I’m a Woman’) is an anti-machista anthem, stylistically nodding to NY house. Though Vargas doesn’t identify as a woman themselves, they understand their experience as a woman in an imbalanced patriarchal society that excludes women, femmes and non-binary people. Habla Tu Verdad (‘Speak Your Truth’) emphasizes the need to overcome the stigma around discussing sexual harassment, offering courage and strength to those who may need it. Asegura (‘Secure’) deals with the unprecedented power of Big Data, which monetizes a surveillance based economy through its users' data and behaviours. 
These themes are set to fierce unrelenting bpms, nods to gabber, and samples of a reality show where young men compete in a prison fitness contest. Caderona (‘big hips’), features a hardline perreo-tinged beat that carries Vargas’ vocals with refreshing ferocity. Inspired by a cumbia song, Caderona offers a counterpoint to the male gaze, acting as an opportunity to demand space. Aquí describes the reality of a global corporate domination, where capitalist insatiability meets government inaction as we sit on the precipice of a mass extinction of our own making.

Pelada hope to inspire critical self- reflexivity through engagement, building power, demanding space and action. Or as it is written in their liner notes: ‘ABRE TUS OJOS, LA BESTIA SE ALIMENTA DE LA EXPLOTACIÓN' which translates to ‘OPEN YOUR EYES, THE BEAST FEEDS ON EXPLOITATION’.

The album is mastered by Jeremy Cox, featuring artwork by Johannes Schnatmann & Bill Kouligas.
