cветит синим (feat. саша скул, омонра)

Raucous club jams from the trio setting pace for a new generation of electronic fans: Dazegxd, gum.mp3 & Swami Sound, AKA EldiaNYC.

Something exciting is happening on the margins of online club music. As one generation ages out, another, predominantly made up of Zoomers and Zillennials who fell into rave music mid-pandemic or arrived via gaming, is on the rise. Some of the most dialled-in electronic fans out there have threadbare connection to formalised nightlife, filling their diet instead with DJ Ess, Jane Remover, Jet Set Radio and a thriving ecosystem of global splinter styles that would draw stares from anyone who settled into their preferences pre-2019. 

Leading the charge—while pointedly reaffirming the value of connection as they go—are EldiaNYC, whose combination of jungle, garage, vintage Black American dance music, regional rap and screen-glued splinter styles hits like a shot of adrenaline. Swami Sound broke first with sexy drill-laced 2-step edits, and last year we named gum.mp3's "Black Life, Red Planet" as one of our favourite records—but it could have just as easily been Dazegxd's breaks-splicing "exhibition mode" instead.

Eldia stack sets on radio and at parties with startlingly-fresh producers, many still in their teens. This might also be the only RA Podcast to fold in soulful ghettotech from Mr De', head-in-the-clouds plugg from rising star 454, edits of both Bounty Killer and Toro Y Moi, and multiple names (Guido YZ, synta3x, DJ B) who haven't registered on the series before.

With one eye on the occasion, Eldia tip their hats to lineage, too. The trio kick off with a double scoop of Fred P, before ramping up steadily through slick forthcoming material and ironclad modern anthems on their way to a crescendo of footwork chops, baile drums and breakbeat delirium.

Leaders of a new wave in the US, it surely won't be long before Daze, gum and Swami have swept the international circuit. For now, RA.977 will leave your subs smoking.

A wedding song from the village Bandysie in the Kurpie Region, which is sung before setting out for the church. The bride, although urged otherwise, has to refuse to leave her family home, thereby showing respect and affection for her nearest and dearest. Then she is obliged to apologise to the whole family for any squabbles and misunderstandings. Tears are a compulsory element of the ceremony, which serves as a purification ritual. The last stage of the farewell to the family home is the parental blessing, after which the young woman can finally set off to meet her future husband.
Ceremonial songs of this type often include instructions for the participants, specifying who should do what, and in what order. They are usually performed by the bridesmaids or the wedding hostess. The bride herself does not sing at all throughout the whole ceremony – her job is to cry.

The musicians are playing

Lyrics: traditional Music: traditional, DAGADANA

The musicians are playing, the horses are neighing.
‘Oy! Time to go, fair Marysia,
Make up your mind. Oy! Time to go,
fair Marysia, make up your mind.’
Then she raised her head and said:
‘Oy, no! I’d better stay with my mum
right here. Oy, no! I’d better
stay with my mum right here.’

Kurpiowska pieśń weselna ze wsi Bandysie, śpiewana przed wyjazdem do kościoła. Panna młoda, mimo ponagleń, musi odmówić wyjścia z rodzinnego domu, okazując tym samym szacunek i przywiązanie do swoich bliskich. Następnie zobowiązana jest do przeproszenia wszystkich członków rodziny za wszelkie zaistniałe kłótnie i nieporozumienia. Obowiązkowym elementem tej ceremonii jest płacz, będący swoistym rytuałem oczyszczenia. Ostatni etap żegnania się z domem rodzinnym to błogosławieństwo od rodziców, po którym dziewczyna może wreszcie ruszyć na spotkanie z przyszłym mężem.
W pieśniach obrzędowych tego typu często zawarta jest instrukcja dla ich uczestników, określająca, kto co ma po kolei robić. Śpiewają ją zazwyczaj druhny panny młodej, ewentualnie starościna weselna. Sama panna młoda nic nie śpiewa przez cały obrzęd – jej zadaniem jest płakać.

Oj nie, bo ja sia u swojej mamusi, zostana sia, 
oj nie, bo ja sia u swojej mamusi zostana sia

Kangding Qingge
Music: traditional, DAGADANA

High upon the mountain side, floats a cloud so white.
There lies Kangding town, bathed in silver moonlight.
Moonlight shines bright, over Kangding town.
Lovely maid with a sweet smile, Li the woodcutter's daughter.
Zhang the blacksmith’s eldest son, came to court her in moonlight.
Moonlight shines bright, a courtship in moonlight.

First, he has fallen in love because she is talented and good-looking.
Second, he has fallen in love because she can take care of the family.
The crescent moon, can take care of the family!

Lovely maidens of the world, I cannot but love you.
Gentlemen of the world, they cannot but woo you.
Moonlight shines bright, they cannot but woo you.

The “Kangding Love Song” was born in the 1930s in the Tibetan town Dardo (Chinese: Kangdin, Sichuan). The town is situated where the cultures of Tibet and China meet. It is divided by the mighty Dadu River and surrounded by over 50 majestic Himalayan mountain peaks, reaching six thousand metres above sea level.
The song presents the simple story of a love which is not accepted by the girl’s parents because of the gap in status between the lovers. According to legend, a local singer agreed to help the young couple by composing a piece to persuade the parents to change their minds.
It was never established who was the song’s original author, but it is known that in the 1940s it was written down and arranged by Wu Wenji, a music student at the National Music School in Chongqing. It gained its popularity thanks to the great Chinese soprano Yu Yixuan, who first performed it on stage in Nanjing in May 1949.
According to UNESCO the “Kangding Love Song” is one of the ten most popular folk songs in the world. In the 1990s it also became the first Chinese music recording sent out with a NASA probe in search of extraterrestrial civilisations. The song has been performed by the greatest artists, including Placido Domingo: 2011, under the title “Love Song for the Universe”.

A woman lets go of a black t-shirt (she had dropped it off at the Memory Palace to distance herself from the memories it evokes). We pick it up again, explore the echoes, and follow its threads to where they might weave. A participatory exploration of tactile, sensory, and emotional memory and the clothing that contains traces of our lives.

This piece is part of a collection of works created in a time of social distancing. To see the rest visit: http://memorypalaceproject.com/art-apart/
