The Cycle

Once the unborn tiger sharks consume all of the living embryos, they turn to their mother's unfertilized eggs next, in a phenomenon called oophagy, or egg-eating.

The Sydney-based DJ and producer Ryan O'Rourke aka Obelisk (he/him) is an emerging name in the Australian contemporary underground club scene as an organizer of the experimental dance event series Nexus (instagram.com/nexus.eora/) and as an artist, holding releases on local compilations (@deep-scan-radio and @meganesia), and showcasing performances as both a solo artist and with the Winged Mantis duo, alongside Sydney-based DJ @index-exe. The work of Obelisk focuses on the interaction between heavy laptop electronic music and jungle/breakcore influences, mediated by a taste for raw aggressiveness and emotional grandeur that have been arranged in his debut release “Meta Bliss”, out on December 28th on our platform.

Composed of three original tracks, the release collects sharp, crystalline, and bursting compositions that feature fast and broken rhythms brilliantly juxtaposed with disfigured synths. While often indulging in the belligerent fury of knife-sharp percussions and booming distortion, the EP often crosses into spacious, euphoric melodies accompanied by frantic but cathartic, tempo-shifting drum work. Obelisk’s goal has been to investigate various ways of experiencing ecstasy and euphoria, whether by means of extreme, overwhelming rhythmic aggression, or breathtaking melodic refrains. While going through the 20-minute EP, one is brought to witness a daring descent into rush. “Meta Bliss” is the heavily cinematic sound commentary to some fast-paced, epic-scale, high fantasy encounter with angel-shaped, all-powerful beings of light under an immaculate sky.

Meta Bliss EP is completed by two remixes by the Sydney-based musician, producer, and DJ Ptwiggs (she/her) @ptwiggs and the Perth-based producer and DJ SUS1ER (he/him) @sus1er. Ptwiggs provides additional tones of darkness to “Illidan Bass” by crafting a 170 BPM deep drum and bass rework rich with clangy breakbeats, and diving deep into the obscurity of the industrial bassline. On the other hand, SUS1ER delivers the perfect closure to the release by re-arranging the opening track “Echoburst” into a 178 BPM hardcore anthem that preserves the emotional impact of the original all the way through the rawstyle finale.

Tracks 1-3 produced and mixed by Obelisk. Track 4 produced, mixed, and mastered by Ptwiggs. Track 5 produced and mixed by Sus1er. Track 1-3, 5 mastered by @wimdehaen. Artwork by K095C [instagram.com/k095c/]

111X - 'Shame'

Three years after his previous outing, the elusive prince of noise 111X returns to Changeless with his monumental paragon ‘Shame’.

Born amidst a period of personal collapse and the cathartic realisation of inadequacy and finiteness, ‘Shame’ traverses devastatingly beautiful, dreamlike sonic realms. The record delves into the temporal and fleeting nature of our corporeality, how the smallest tremors can ultimately shake you to your very core.

’Shame’ sees 111X expand upon his distinct palette of unwavering noise, somber melodies and staggered drums with brooding guitar drones, adding a newfound depth to the sorrow found throughout his oeuvre. Let it wash over your trembling flesh, and you will come out the other side as an unstoppable force.

'Shame' will be released March 10th via Changeless.

Written, produced & mixed by 111X.
Mastered by Nori Kin.

Three years after their debut album ‘When My Darkness Came To Light’, Exploited Body has returned with their new album ‘Here, I Abandon’.

‘Here, I Abandon’ marks a new beginning, documenting the grievous first steps on the path of healing. The title references reaching a point, where all that doesn’t serve oneself must be left behind. The record is an exercise in “noise pop”, featuring prominent vocals from Exploited Body while combining their signature blistering distortion with their love of catchy melodies.

The album opens with ‘Only Your Eyes Could See My Wings’, a fragile and minimal ballad dedicated to their partner, who helped them find their way out of their pain-shrouded mind. Emerging from the fog, echoing vocals and thunderous piano drones lead into the disarmingly vulnerable vocal passage, the most personal song Exploited Body has ever shared with the world. ‘Demon Of Hatred’ is a slow-burning mantra about ending the cycle of trauma that began long ago, that manifests itself as a rage-filled beast. The screeching metal and cavernous bells collide under the somber vocals until it’s all ripped to shreds by violent pillars of noise. ‘After All (In The Ruins Of Limerence)’ deals with losing oneself in another person and awakening from the fever dream that is limerence. Along with the swinging vocal melodies, the dissonant mechanical humming break out into an onslaught of distorted kick drums before dissolving into harmonic bliss.

‘Replacing A Scar With Another’ explores themes of self-sabotage and self-harm, how we often reject help that is offered to us, creating new wounds to tend to instead of mending the old ones and trading old harmful beliefs into new even more detrimental ones (“replacing a god with another”). ’Self-Surrender’ is about shame, self-deception, requesting others to ‘hold your light’ until the sun’s out while you wallow in the dark abyss of self-pity, but now the time to has come to face yourself. The ethereal production paired with a delicate melody is reminiscent of a haunting lullaby with ghostly voices creaking in the midst of ringing synths, before everything comes to a head for a disjointed crescendo.’ Abandon’ is the purge that marks the point of no return, stripping off your weakness piece by piece, like an exorcism through the brutal wall of noise that the song builds up to. The closing track ‘Tear Me Apart Until All That’s Left Is Love’ is the bittersweet moment of letting yourself disintegrate and splinter into pieces to make room for what lies at the core of it all. A soft landing back into your body, before the colossal aftershock kicks in and sends you on your way to what comes next.

The album is written, produced, mixed and mastered by Nori Kin and features artwork by Changeless-affiliated Helsinki-based photographer Markus Watkins & Nori Kin.

Here, I Abandon

Exploited Body - Abandon

The final katharsis release of 2024 is the 26-track compilation “Physical Force” featuring a wide range of affiliated artists from both the international and local Copenhagen electronic music scene. As the title hints, Physical Force delves into the visceral, bodily aspects of music, inviting its contributors to explore the theme of movement as a central element in their compositions. Each artist was encouraged to focus on rhythm, groove, energy, and the physicality of sound, which resulted in drum-heavy release from start to finish. While there is a consistent emphasis on rhythm and a bodily connection to the music, the tracks vary widely in style and sonic texture, ranging from big melodic anthems, gritty experimental techno, heavy jungle bangers, and beyond.

Capiuz - 33 Years

i don't commit crimes but  i love someone who will...

Как же жить хуёво - да, конечно, я не знаю
Раз за разом я на дне, я тону, а кто всплывает?
Денег очень много, но бывает, всё сливаю
Просто чтобы не забыть - дофамина не хватает

Рифма на хуитке, эта рифма на ладони
Я конечно больше знаю, я конечно недотрога
Есть альбом - 4 года
Почему-то не писался
Потому что я уселся, потому что расслаблялся

Боже, я люблю себя, и я люблю глаголы
Я люблю читать стихи, и я люблю альбомы
Вырезок бумажных женщины снимают порно
Отклик? Нахуя мне отклик

Слезы падают на пол

Авангардом по деталям

Слезы падают на пол
Слезы падают на пол

Маски помогли мне скрыть
Маски помогли 100:0

Хорошо, что не с тобой
А с тобой, и хуй с тобой

Если сам себе поможешь
Бог поможет - с глаз долой

Как там жизнь, полна эмпатии?
Эмпатична всяка тварь

Но в глазах вижу усталость
Твои слёзы - просто лай

У бездомных новоселье
Отовсюду зовём всех

Если сам себя помоешь
Очевидно ждёт успех

Без тебя, без меня, никого и никогда
Кто пришёл? Там никого, лишь отголоски января
И вуаля, вуаля, поиск имени себя
Я опять начну с тебя
Звуки плачущей той ивы
Звуки того октября

Звуки того ноября
Звуки того декабря
Я не слышу звуков между
Но я знаю безупречно
Я опять начну с тебя

Звуки того января

Без тебя, без меня, никого и никогда
Кто пришёл? Там никого, лишь отголоски января
И вуаля, вуаля, поиск имени себя
Я опять начну с тебя
Звуки плачущей той ивы
Звуки того...

Звуки того ноября
Звуки того декабря
Я не слышу звуков между
Но я знаю безупречно
Я опять начну с тебя
