It is a wretched thing that the young men of today are so contriving and so proud of their material possessions. 
Men with contriving hearts are lacking in duty. 
Lacking in duty, they will have no self-respect.

Sentiment Series Vol.13

Premiere: Twuan - Sun Avenue [Shaw Cuts]

For episode thirty we welcome one of the midwest's finest, Kitty Spit! We've quietly admired Kitty's interesting and left field selections for some time now and are thrilled to be releasing this journey of a mix! 

If one was tasked with finding the beauty in accelerationism and to embody that idea in a sonic palette that you can dance to, they might come up with something very similar to this mix. Ethereal and haunting breaths from sources above and below the absolutely serious techno rhythms contained within.

Kitty Spit's process:
I made this mix using a Xone 92 and three XDJs. My approach and mixing style are pretty simple—I mostly just EQ and avoid using filters or effects. Honestly, I’m not quite sure how to describe my style because it feels new and different every time I touch the decks. What guides me most is my philosophy about dance music—what it means to me—and I let that shape my mixes. So, I’ll dive into that a bit to give you a better sense of what I’m aiming for when I create.

I have a couple of rules for myself when it comes to mixing, but they’re not set in stone or that serious. One of them is: once a track is on, it’s on—no re-cueing. Just bring it in. I try not to impose too many rules on my relationship with dance music because rules can create unnecessary limitations. Dance music doesn’t fit in a box; it’s not supposed to be any one way, which is one of the most special and beautiful things about it. I approach it as something magical that teaches me something new every time I engage with it. I don’t want to box myself in by thinking, “If I don’t do XYZ, I’m doing it wrong.” Being a bit lawless helps me feel good about what I’m doing.

Overall, I think DJing should be fun. Sure, take the craft seriously and always aim to do your best, but it’s not that serious. If it ever starts to feel like work or a chore, it’s no longer fun. I think there’s a tendency to put DJing on a pedestal, especially when we present ourselves publicly. People expect perfection, but that’s not realistic. I try not to obsess over making my mixes flawless. I practice at home all the time, and I still mess up. So, I expect little hiccups when I play, and it’s not the end of the world. Things happen—maybe I heard something differently in my headphones, or a track’s tempo shifted unexpectedly. I embrace those imperfections and roll with them. You make it work.. There’s always a way to recover, so just keep moving.
I think for many DJs, mixing is a visceral, emotional experience. It’s the feelings—the moments on the dance floor—that stick with you. You might not remember every track from a set, but you’ll remember how it made you feel, who you were with, and even the strangers you connected with, if only for that night. That’s part of what makes dance music so special. When I build my sets, I focus on creating a journey where each track evokes a feeling, and every transition is one emotion playing off the last one and pouring into the next. I feel like this may be DJing in a nutshell, but I achieve this by being patient, building tension, and releasing the tension when it feels right—a simple but effective formula that works for me. (:

Noémi Büchi (*1991, Zürich) is a Swiss/French composer and sound artist that creates and explores the potential of cross genre musical structures. Her music is defined by a delicate synthesis of textural rhythms and electroacoustic-orchestral abstraction. She contrasts rhythmic physicality with disruption and playfully emphasizes irregularities, creating an expansive listening experience marked by detail and elevation. Her musical work moves in the areas of electroacoustic composition, live performances, audiovisual shows, music for film, music for contemporary dance, music for installations, music for theater and for orchestral works. She holds a Master's degree in electroacoustic composition from the ZHdK (Zürich) and a Bachelor's degree in musicology and German literature/linguistic from the University of Zürich. During and after her studies, she played at various festivals and received a cultural prize from the city of Zürich.

Victor Ruiz is one of the hottest names in underground electronic music right now, and this release on Oliver Huntemann’s always-reliable Senso imprint gives a pretty clear reason why. The Brazilian DJ and producer has been popping up all over the world in the last few years, and his string of amazing releases on labels such as Electric Ball- room and Sudbeat have cemented his reputation.
'Nevermind' - is Victor Ruiz doing what he does best - exploring track dynamics within a perfectly developed journey - including an unsettling and trippy vocal that lifts the track even further towards the stars. Label boss Oliver Huntemann stops by to provide the remix - stipping the track down to his signature sound - deep and streamlined, yet full of emotion.

Exhumed Tapes II is the second in a multi-artist series of cassette releases on the Modern Cathedrals label. With label art featuring small details of "important graves," the series will dig into eery, broken beat techno with gritty textures. 

The second tape features four tracks by Detroit-based artist Uun, whose work on the EP builds from careful and subdued atmospheres to aggressive percussion-driven tracks. In keeping with the themes of the series, the label art once again features the grave of an author chosen by the artist. 

It will be limited to 50 hand-numbered physical copies.

The Meaning Of Time

o.utlier - Soil Tiller

Modern Cathedrals was founded in Detroit in 2015. While the stylistic attributes of the label could be described as avant-garde, drone-influenced techno, the core of the label lies much deeper than dance music. While interpretations are as varied as listeners, the label’s founder Altstadt Echo regards Modern Cathedrals as a geographically contextualized exploration of the struggle to find meaning in a world that is fundamentally indifferent to this basic human desire. 

In older European cities that were once dominated by religious thought, cathedrals loom over the skyline and serve as a reminder of the ideas that used to give life meaning; ideas that many of us have implicitly left behind. Detroit, as a struggling post-industrial city, is involved in a constant dialogue between desperate hope and gradual decay. Excluding pockets of downtown commercialization, it is the scattered shells of empty manufacturing facilities that elicit the feeling that this city also placed its own worth in an idea that turned out to be a false promise. In this way, they serve as the city’s true cathedrals.    

The artists releasing on Modern Cathedrals utilize experimental techno as a medium to explore the creation of meaning without reliance on the dogmatic pursuit of temporary ideals. The result is functional-but-challenging dance music crafted without the need for a saccharine reliance on tried-and-true techno tropes or the fabricated themes of peace and love that plagued rave music. Instead, it attempts to create an authentic interpretation of the imperfect human experience that we all live, both in Detroit and beyond.
