Following the devastating explosion at the Port of Beirut on August 4, Ma3azef teamed up with New York-based mastering engineer Heba Kadry to curate a compilation by regional and international musicians to raise funds for the continuous relief work being done on the ground in Beirut to help those who have been failed by the Lebanese state.

Today, we're happy to announce two additional remixes added to the compilation: ZULI's Kiwi Meld, remixed by El Kontessa; Deena Abdelwahed's Wein El Malayeen, remixed  by Ancient Methods.

The 19-track compilation includes contributions by the likes of Fatima Al Qadiri, Nicolás Jaar, ZULI, Slikback, and others. Bringing sounds together from the different crevices of electronic music, it is a humble attempt to galvanize musicians and listeners into supporting a city that has been integral in shaping the region’s contemporary music scene.

All proceeds from the sales of the compilation are going to local initiatives to provide assistance to those affected, they will be divided between Fundraising Campaign for the Arts and Culture Community in Beirut organized by AFAC; Beirut Musicians' Fund organized by Tunefork Studios, and Beit el Baraka.

ccontrary - NIGHTMARE

Giorgio Di Salvo signs a new chapter in his Advanced Audio Research: a blast of free-form junglish mayhem, once more released in coproduction with Haunter Records. This time ripe with the furthest experimentations and most far-out cuts coming out of the AAR headquarters.
That’s right, we’re dealing with some serious freakishness : using the same generative process and wicked arsenal of tools as his previous oblation, Di Salvo managed not only to top its rave-ready madness, but also to venture far beyond, arranging the gnarliest noises into wild, crooked beats and mocking melodies.
AAR’s music is still closely related to the heaviest dance music paradigms like breakcore and flashcore, tho it maintains such a unique character and such a distinctive sonic palette that makes it stand within that musical world in a truly refreshing manner.

Taken from @okayvivian album Saye, out March 8, 2021, via IA (@intruder_alert)

Read: https://bit.ly/2O4HcCk

Okay Vivian’s first full-length album Saye reveals a sound that has been frozen inside her: The music she heard on the Turkish radio as a child, on car rides, at weddings... And what remains, still echoing in her head, is particularly the heart-wrenching singing and the haunting bendir drums. She lets the ice melt into the current, and flow onto the surface, trying to capture the loneliness and gloom of a suspended memory.

She designed the soundscapes, emotions intertwined with imagined scents, to create a multidimensional space for her music to slowly breathe in. Imagine the smell of a ghost, the smell of hiding, of forgetting with a heavy heart; a silvery glow, moss, a damp, ice cold air, with dirt, crushed herbs, & honey; the smoking scent of snowdrops, barely there, crushed & burnt, dusty, yet still alive.

“Saye is a wish, a knot I unwind with every song. Until I am too soft to be broken.”

Premiere: Okay Vivian - Whisper Like Ice [IA]

Artist: @laughingears
Catalogue Number: IM086
Album: Blood
Release Date: February 26th, 2021
Format: Digital

Laughing Ears is poised to release her second LP this January via club music vanguards, Infinite Machine. Her lengthiest offering to date, Blood consists of 10 tracks that highlight Laughing Ears’s knack for building otherworldly atmospherics within club-ready, dance music structures. Taking the tale of Fenrir as it’s starting point, (a giant wolf in Norse mythology who spent much of his life bound and chained to a rock in captivity), the album conceptually deals with family ties and the melancholic beauty that can be found in the darkness of loss.

Blood opens with the airy, gliding synths and heavy drumwork of Flickering Shadows. The track has a unique sense of space due its wide stereo-imaging as well as Laughing Ears’ haunting melodies and driving rhythms. A 100bpm creeper fit for exploring uncharted virtual lands. On the following track, Loki, things are stripped back to their functional essentials. Tabla hits, bass pluses and strange whistles brush up against each other in a head-spinning assemblage before surging towards a climactic resolution.

The serene Untouched Places showcases Laughing Ears’ unique approach to melody and harmony. With a background in singing herself, her synths lines here seem to tonally intertwine, like vocal DNA, veering from harmonious and dissonant phases. Compared to the tranquility of Untouched Places, LP title-track, Blood, moves the record in a more intense direction. A brick wall of compressed percussion and humanoid-sung samples seem to battle it out for the listener’s attention in an enthralling sonic confrontation.

On Blood’s mid-point, Night Whisps, the producer’s love for the thrilling soundtracks of Satoshi Kon’s anime movies definitely comes through clearly. Bass drones claustrophobically reverberate around the mix - acting as a musical backbone that a wide array of staccato samples are stitched onto. Next up, Murderous Means, as its blood-thirsty title suggests, is a brutal and hard-hitting club track that’ll keep listeners guessing as the composition twists and turns. The song’s furious, ever-evolving drum patterns create mesmerizing rhythms you can’t help but bob your head to.

The polyrhythms continue on the following piece, Buona Fortuna. Like footwork, a genre she looks to for inspiration, on Buona Fortuna, the main groove is built out of a disparate family of drum samples which work in tandem - much like how individual dots of an Impressionist painting cooperate to form a single, concrete image. Laughing Ears then slows things down slightly with Glimmer, which sees the producer mix the low end stylings of UK Funky with strung out horns and gong hits.

On Potcheen, the longest of the record, Laughing Ears ambitiously constructs a track that starts from curious, ambient beginnings before morphing into a ferocious footwork-infused banger. Rounding off the release, Warm as A Lizard is a groove-laided drum freakout, crammed full of dense textures which build into a tonal fever pitch.
