Toronto native Vito Lucente formulates his distinct sound by blending the mechanical with spiritual, culminating a meditative state spawning from a deeper subconscious intimacy. Using pulsating rhythms, deep hovering soundscapes and a discreet layer of emotion with prototypal Detroit attributes he creates a cathartic feel behind his productions and mixed sets. The gravitation towards experimentation builds an atmosphere of penetrating energy that has become a signature to Vito's sound. Conceptualizing his work by complimenting it with visual stimulation and theory, Vito ultimately manifests a broader spectrum of the art, taking it beyond the realm of techno music, but rather capturing the essence of an transcendental form of artistic expression.

With the third EP out on his own label, Evigt Mörker, and another release coming out on Semantica shortly; the journey towards the end of the tunnel has just begun.

Her first full-length work ‘Chrysalis’, described in The Wire magazine as ‘a gritty, heavily processed slab of dark ambient’, was released on London’s Astro:Dynamics label in 2014. In 2016 she released ‘Singulacra’ on US label ‘Kathexis’ which featured in FACT Magazine’s Top 50 Albums of the Year and has received BBC and international airplay.

@zanias was born in Melbourne, Australia, raised in Southeast Asia, and after a short stint in London to study archaeology, ended up in Berlin. She unexpectedly found herself singing in the band Linea Aspera, followed by Keluar (with Sid Lamar of Schwefelgelb), and left behind a life in academia to focus on music full time. In Berlin she co-founded the body music collective ‘Fleisch’ and now runs the record label of the same name, while simultaneously writing and performing solo under the name Zanias, which she co-produces with Alex Akers of Forces. In 2016 she released her debut EP on Vienna’s Noiztank label, followed by an EP of remixes in 2017 that introduced her voice into the realm of techno. In 2018 she will unveil a new album that aims to pull listeners deeper into an uncharted wilderness, unbound by genres or trends and purely focused on the distillation of timeless emotions and rhythms. Her compositions are an exploration into human fears, desires and absurd imperfections; an electronically synthesized shamanic summoning and catharsis. Lyrics and melodies crafted with strict intention, to induce an inward journey to the core of what it means to exist and to feel. Let her voice be the guide.

@sibling_it is an Italian duo composed of two blood brothers with a love for Ambient Dub sonorities. Having started their project in 2017, their music is based on the deeper meanders of mind. This podcast is delivers exactly that.

Mixtape 009: Sibling

@Irisarri is a multi-instrumentalist, record producer, mastering engineer and curator living in New York. His music often has a mournful, elegiac quality where ostinato phrases tap into minimalist ideals while atmospheric layers of effects suggests a more cinematic approach. In all, his compositions are deeply emotive and epic, like a symphony recording that’s been rescued from attic entombment after half a century. 

Starting out in Seattle during the early 00's, Irisarri quickly became an integral part of the Seattle music community while organizing electronic music shows and experiential performances at concert halls, churches, and DIY art spaces. Throughout the mid-00's, he served as co-curator for Seattle's legendary Decibel Festival, focusing on the ambient, leftfield techno and experimental curatorial. As the new decade rolled in, Irisarri started in 2011 his own music festival, Substrata – the first event of its kind in North America. Held at a converted chapel in a quiet residential neighborhood, the critically-aclaimed intimate event was responsible for breaking in the Pacific Northwest new artists working in the modern classical field (Nils Frahm, Jacaszek, Christina Vantzou, to name a few), and bringing to American shores influential artists from abroad. Substrata ran for five sold-out editions in Seattle, plus an offshoot event at London's Cafe OTO (2014). The festival is currently on an extended hiatus.

After signing with Ghostly International in 2008 and releasing Glider (his debut album as The Sight Below), Irisarri started traveling frequently to perform live throughout the world. His concerts at museums, churches, synagogues, and other non-traditional performance spaces explore the physicality of sound. Combining an array of heavy metal bass amplifiers, multiple loudspeaker configurations, synthesizers, bowed guitars, notebook computers, video images, and lighting, Irisarri decontextualize the audience’s relationship to the venue, creating an immersive, otherworldly environment.

Mixtape 011: Rafael Anton Irisarri
