“BAILES VALSTĪS”, una obra poliédrica muy especial. 

En primer lugar, partiendo de su propio imaginario respecto a Letonia, un país que nunca han visitado, se compone una canción con letra en ese idioma. Segundo, se fabrica una edición limitada y numerada de CD-singles cuyas portadas han sido intervenidas manualmente una a una. Y en tercer lugar, se completa la acción desplazándose a la propia Letonia donde se liberarán todas las copias “abandonándolas” en diferentes lugares elegidos a lo largo del mes de septiembre. 

SLOVENSKA TELEVIZA espera con esta intervención que un viaje no sirva sólo para que el país visitado marque su impronta en ellos, sino dejar a cambio una pequeña huella allí.

“Bailes Valstīs” is a very special and polyhedral work developed for band’s official presentation. 

First, from his own imaginary regard to Latvia, a country they’ve never visited, a song is composed with lyrics in Latvian language. Second, they make a limited and numbered CD-single edition with cover art manually intervented one by one. And thirdly, action moves to Latvia where the artists will wild-release the copies, abandoning all of them in different locations chosen throughout the month of September. 

With this artistic intervention in a local context they expect to achieve that a trip does not only serve the country visited to mark an indelible imprint on them, but to leave a humble footprint in the country.

group A started in Japan in 2012 by Tommi Tokyo (synthesizers, electronic rhythms, vocals) and Sayaka Botanic (violin, tapes, voice). 

Since the beginning this project has been developing a very unique sound and image blending performance art and DIY post-punk. Their music could be described as a clash between UK industrial and Japanese underground from 70s and early 80s. Their shows are very conceptual and stagey with the use of looped projections and original outfits.

“Group A have been playing their mix of spiky noise, no wave minimalism and sinister cabaret on the road for the last four years. It’s taken them from Tokyo to London and their present home in Berlin.” Wire Magazine, July 2016.

After some releases on digital format, cassettes and self produced CDs, including a 2-track collaboration with Tom Furse (The Horrors), their last album “70 + a =“ is finally pressed on vinyl. A deluxe edition with fine black paper silk-screened jacket, insert printed on black and tracing paper and one sticker.

2nd release in the limited vinyl White series dedicated to sounds across synth, new wave, EBM, italo and electro, comes in the form of a split EP by Danish producer Nixxon and Italian dance wave wizard Franz Scala.

Nixxon's gloomy, cosmic electro slow-roller opens Mechatronica White 2, followed by the heavier sounds of West, driven by razor-sharp synth stabs, voodoo percussion and a colossal bassline to boot.

On the flip, Franz Scala meshes italo, acid and spacey synth grooves into two effective anthems for the floor, destined to move bodies and transport minds.

Premiere #21 LVRIN - Escape[Arma Records]

Halflings, the electronic music group of Jeremy Nissan and Ryan Woodhall, was started on Long Island NY in 2005 as a direct response to their suburban upbringing. The duo’s background in DIY punk and their obsession with raw sound led to a distinctly compositional and live approach to harsh noise and power electronics. As teenagers, Halflings caught the ear of Ron Lessard, who released their first full Length LP Self Esteem on RRRecords. 

Over the years the band has pushed the structural element of their work to the forefront, fusing extreme sound with pop, prog, and electronic dance music. Halflings develop each album thematically, often writing lyrics from a first-person perspective as a means to gain understanding of their subjects as well as their own psyche. 

Little Orchard Boy was conceived as a concept album born from their shared formative experiences of sexuality & masculinity. It should be no surprise that the record digs into the band’s early encounters with New York night life. A distinct NYC dirge permeates the raw funk grooves spanning the album. The 3 tracks featured on Little Orchard Boy were initially composed for live performance before being put to tape in 2019. The EP marks an evolution in Halflings’ sound; While the band’s style of noise has always exuded musicality, Little Orchard Boy introduces a more streamlined usage of melody and song structure. The album’s complex drum programming and subtle studio techniques showcase Nissan’s background as a drummer and Woodhall’s background as a producer respectively, but the true power of the sound lies in the duo’s shared musical vocabulary that they’ve developed over the past two decades.

Primitive Languages/Psychic Liberation concludes it’s year span of amorphous output with Little Orchard Boy. Marking the final chapter in the output of the label formally known as Primitive Languages, which created the lane for the new undertaking of Psychic Liberation.

Premiere #81 Halflings - Some Young Guy [PSYCHIC LIBERATION]

Disserting among souls screaming in pain caused by the death of empathy.
Our era is dominated by emptiness.
We are the mutual void.
It would be enough to fill the void to heal it.
Why does evil reign supreme in our souls?

Crushed by false thoughts.

Taken from the album Relax and Implode out on 16 October 2020.
