The evolution of ‘A World Of Service’ has curved around genre collapsing and unexpected metamorphoses. Formerly the name of the monthly radio show JASSS hosted in Berlin, and soon to be the title of her expansive multi-sensory touring concept in collaboration with Ben Kreukniet, here ‘A World Of Service’ is powerfully concentrated in sonic form. Throughout the album JASSS muses on the especially current human and technological barriers to interconnectivity; both lyrically and musically she deconstructs the self, unmasks anxieties and interrogates the insufficiencies of language as applied to gender, identity and interpersonal relationships. Forming her own fluid, nuanced lexicon in response, JASSS seeks a deeper understanding of her multiple selves, emerging through unbridled adolescent rage and the wisdom of maturation, traversing liminality with abstract electronics and baroque industrial pop. Visually this is underscored by Matt Lambert’s uncanny floral cover portraiture, as well as the record’s distinct scent of wet earth, flower and woods developed for the album by Meri Bonastre and applied to the vinyl innersleeve.

Following the imaginative nostalgia of ‘Weightless’, her 2017 debut album for iDEAL Recordings, as well as her blistering dancefloor 12” for Whities / AD 93, ‘A World Of Service’ folds personal and societal concepts in on themselves, not seeking answers but rather luxuriating in the unique friction that questions create. JASSS is intensely focused yet musically unbridled; this is reflected in tonal shifts of ‘A World Of Service’. Through the computerised yearning and bruising of a heartbreak on “Luis”, to the jagged and wordless tundra of “Vapor Dentro”; the intriguing juxtaposition of warm, alluring Spanish vocals against rigid pillars of industrial heft and bass grind (“Camelo”), and the soaring maximalist industrial pop of the album’s closer, “Wish.”

As intensity rises through the pandemic-era trip hop of the album’s title track “A World Of Service”, JASSS sings:

“Pleasure /
Is nowhere to be found inside this world of service /
I call to be my life.”

Pleasure may remain elusive to her, but in the determination to make peace with her various identities in this technological age, JASSS offers a compelling glimpse into an essential type of artistic voice.

🇫🇷 Maelita n'en est pas à son premier coup d'essai musical puisque c'est à 7 ans qu'elle commence la musique en tant que pianiste.
Une dizaine d'années plus tard, c'est derrière les platines qu'on la retrouve avec la volonté de casser les genres en proposant des sets toujours variés et éclectiques. Un seul but, déconstruire les idéaux afin de partager son amour de la musique.
Elle fait ses armes dans des endroits comme l'ampérage et la belle électrique à Grenoble aux côtés d'artistes comme Lena Willikens et 0ptimo. 
C'est désormais à Lyon qu'elle opère, ville qui l'inspire par ses multiples influences. Elle a rejoint depuis peu l'écurie Everybody Trance où elle peut manifester son style musical qui oscille entre break trance ou encore acid.

🇬🇧 Maelita isn’t new to the scene; she started playing music at 7 as a pianist. Years later, she now operates behind the decks, with a will to break from conventions by putting together versatile and unexpected sets. Her main goal is to deconstruct common ideals through her love for music.
She started out in places like l’Ampérage and the Belle Electrique in Grenoble alongside artists such as Lena Wilikens or Optimo. She’s now based in Lyon, a bustling city that inspires her. 
She’s now with the Everybody Trance crew, with which she can express her style as freely as possible, oscillating between breaks, trance and even acid.

Technopool #22 Le Métier de Bookeur.euse - 13 Janvier 2023

Rave music has a bright future ahead of it with the arrival of the Cuften tornado. A viking-geek with a passion for machines and sound tweaking, the Norman producer has fun deconstructing the rave aesthetic and old school sounds with his futuristic and singular vision. DJ since his teenage years, Cuften first started in free parties, before collecting old synthesizers and tinkering with his own production tools to deliver a music that comes from his guts: spontaneous, frontal and 100% analogical, just like his live machines that he orchestrates with an overflowing energy, camouflaged behind his hair moving according to his snares, kicks and drums.
He quickly made a place for himself in the Parisian underground scene, with the support of artists such as Manu Le Malin, Marc Acardipane, Helena Hauff or Umwelt, and by setting fire to the dancefloors of the most popular underground venues in France: La Station – Gare des Mines, Concrete, Dehors Brut, Kilomètre25 or Nexus.
After a first EP in 2019 on Tripalium and ‘Canal Energy’ on Minimum Syndicat, he became the first outside artist to sign on the great Planet Phuture label, of the legendary Marc Acardipane, with two EPs ‘Solar Ashes’ and ‘Good Riddance’ with a rave and authentic aesthetic, between abrasive textures and old school analogue synths – with their artworks designed by the great NumberIII, creator of the Aphex Twin logo. At the same time, he released ‘Cathode Ray Tunes’ on Diffuse Reality and ‘Dystopian Forces’ on Kontrakult, as well as a remix of Paul Seul’s ‘Keep Your Distance’ (Casual Gabberz).
On the eve of an EP on Astropolis Records, Cuften presents a new live AV entirely analogical with an electric and immersive scenography with the VJ artist Datatura who dresses the stage with old TVs piled up, halfway between retro-gaming and the golden age of computing and a laser mapping, which makes the show unique. Taking up all the codes of the 90s rave, this explosive, colourful and acidic creation has already conquered the stages of Astropolis, Printemps de Bourges and Transmusicales. A single ticket to dystopian soundscapes. Fans of the rave spirit and experimentation, remember this name!
