“INVERSO” is the new vinyl sub-label of Kript Records, whose concept is based on the meaning that the word assumes in different fields, in mathematics for example the “INVERSO” Ratio means that the product of the variables always remain constant. But the word “INVERSO” is also a concept that leads to an exact opposite of what it assumes. These two meanings of the word “INVERSO” inspire all the tracks of the label, characterized by a -Noisy and Distorted- sound, where symmetry and asymmetry live together and where analog source and analog processing give a great touch of depth.

Arranged, mixed and mastered by Ken Karter at Decode Studio, Berlin

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @siriogryj for its 98th episode of Amplify Series.

Born in Rome late in the 80s, where he took his first steps deejaying and producing with Black Sam Records around 2010, he became the founder of 'Monolith Records' in 2014. As deejay, sound designer, resident of the former eclectic platform 'Liber Null Berlin', art director of the event series 'Metamorphosis Berlin', Sirio Grimaldi aka Sirio Gry J have been proposing sounds and concepts able to destabilize and renew the scene of Berlin during the last decade. 
Focusing on crafting, disclosing and supporting meaningful electronics, the mission to push the boundaries and deconstruct the standard methods led him to forge a unique dark aesthetic as the fruit of an uncompromisable vision which led to establish an identity that made him a key figure in the most underground circuits of the darker music scene of the arty Berlin. 
His work also reached the attention of Alessandro Bavari, Italian pioneer of the digital arts (also more recently director of the special effects sequences of Ridley Scott’s ‘Alien Covenant’), with whom he collaborated for several videos as sound designer and musician since 2017. Born in Rome and relocated to Berlin after studying music production in London, he’s been regularly playing in the most iconic clubs that consecrated the Berlin scene during its golden years (such as Berghain Säule, Tresor, About Blank, Grießmühle, KitKat Club, Suicide Circus, Arena Club, Urban Spree, OHM-ex Shift… to name a few) and exported his unique dj sets over Europe (in France, Italy, Greece, United Kingdom, Latvia) and Asia (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan), while releasing tightly on labels like Furanum Records, Overdraw, Mechanical Thoughts, Several Reasons along with the regular contributions for his own imprint Monolith Records and Liber Null Berlin.

鬼面 : GWI MYEON PODCAST 047 SIRIO GRY J

Ready Made Distribution is happy to present you a monthly selection of some of the finest material available in our store.

Sirio Grimaldi is the founder of Monolith Records and resident of the eclectic project Liber Null Berlin; born in Rome in the late 80s, he discovered the world of deejaying firstly inspired by the "Sound Of Rome". After digging the London scene he moved to Berlin, playing in the main clubs like Berghain Säule, Tresor, Arena, Griessmühle, About Blank, Suicide Circus (and more...). There it was established Monolith Records, a music platform which looks ahead to the grim future of humankind, delivering electronics as compositions translating different philosophical stances, mainly about the human condition. The parallel development of darker aesthetics through the Liber Null Berlin residency, proliferating over Berlin first, then Europe and Asia, shapes the unique mystical Idm obscure-ravey output of the deejay sets, that can morph from slow-haunting and experimental warmups to destructive dancefloor actions through a wide range of genres, constantly mashed up (such as Techno, Industrial, Idm, Ambient, Breaks, Acid, Electro; following no rules in matter of bpm). Also art director of the event series Metamorphosis happening in Suicide Circus every couple of months, he's genuinely contributing to the scene with constant dedication and focus on quality.

Ready Made Selection #5

Ready Made Selection #5 by Sirio Gry J

Honzo - Depression Post Mortem

“When did the future switch from being a promise to being a threat?”

 Things are running so fast, to nowhere. It looks like mankind has realised that any effort to find a reason to justify its own existence is actually useless.
At the end we finally gave up, seeing ourself as monsters rather than the amazing creatures designed to rule the universe.
Our evolution, that we can definitely assume to be an involutionary process, turned the human kind being into a condition where the race probably got to the maximum of the biological possibilities. What will come next? Is it possible that the next step will involve creatures whose basic capacities so radically exceed those of present humans as to be no longer unambiguously human by our current standards?
Probably those entities will be able to "become" or embody different identities and understand the world from multiple, heterogeneous perspectives reaching the “post human condition” while seeking to maintain intellectual rigor and a dedication to objective observations.
Mankind’s hunger for keeping the evolution of techniques and tools vivid and alive brought our kind to struggle to feed itself of artificialism, spoiling biodiversity and setting itself as a black hole which swallows everything. The act of digesting creates nothing but toxicity that keeps on spoiling our planet and the life forms which populate it.
Since mankind started ruling the world, this process never stopped. Even when the balance was found, mankind kept growing, expanding and evolving, reaching a condition which is distant to the natural feelings of our race.
Hypothetically, we’re trying to ascend to an higher plane of existence in order to have a better control of the Earth and its happenings, despite the harsh fact that life has became harder for most of the animated beings which populate it, even for humans themselves.
As humans are conscious entities, surviving isn't enough, as our needs push us to make the most of our own psycho/physic resources in order to shape our own vision of things on a satisfactory base. This allows us to feel in peace and harmony with our surrounding world.
Besides the fact that more and more people all over the world have to struggle in order to ensure their own existence, a constantly decreasing number of people are able to focus on the happiness, having no direction to follow. The balance which ruled existence got lost and probably the time for a radical change for our little corner of the universe is getting closer and closer. A natural flux of renewed energy will come to set up a new order and renew the existence cycle over our planet.
“The end was contained in the beginning”, all we can do at this point is just to wait for the advent of the new cycle, wait for the advent of the MONOLITH to set the new order.
