Taken from SBKT043: Prettybwoy - Tayutau
Release date: 17th September 2021

Prettybwoy’s debut is entitled Tayutau ( 揺蕩う), a traditional Japanese term often used in haiku and literature, meaning ‘waver’ - a state of indecisiveness, to lose determination or purpose, often temporarily, or to drift or sway to and fro. Made over the last two years whilst dealing with isolation, job loss, burnt hard-drives and almost losing the whole project, the album has seen several phases and degrees of anxiety, uncertainty, hope and frustration.

‘Too many things have changed since starting to make this album, and I think that is reflected in the production. The album can be split into three parts – tracks I made before the pandemic when things felt stable, tracks made during lockdown in isolation, and tracks made during the cautious and conflicted opening up and the lead up to the Olympics. There has been so much confusion and changes back and forth, but I want to have hope and try to keep focused, which at times hasn't been easy’

As well as drawing from external causes, 'Tayutau' also comes from a place of internal uncertainty.

'This is a trip in search of my new identity, or maybe to understand my current one. I am Japanese, living in Japan, but my music is only released by labels from other countries. I am a member of SVBKVLT (China), and also Polaar (France), but where or who am I in Japan?’

Tayutau is a 10 track album, featuring two vocal appearances from lIlI and a collaboration with Primula, and comes with artwork and video from Wang Jingxin. A separate EP of remixes will be released shortly after the album.

Cover Design: Wang Jingxin
Mastering: Raphael Valensi

Prettybwoy - Genetic Dance II

Hunt - Voyage Of Color

‘Inflatable Gravestone’ is the debut album by Mun Sing (aka Giant Swan’s Harry Wright).

The motivating force of the album is the sudden loss of Harry’s father in 2020. His father struggled with substance addiction and the album explores ideas of 'spirituality' and the ‘higher self’ in relation to addiction and its parallels with the coping mechanisms of grief. It also aims to highlight the importance of humour and distraction when coping with loss.

Serving as a narrative for his own experiences, the album is largely built around club-centred tracks (such as ‘Spider’ and ’Squabble’) broken up by moments of yearning and reflection in tracks like ’The Poison Garden’ and ‘Helhest (Azrael Smirks)’ and moments of dark anguish like 'Inheritor' with its heavy slab-like chords and pensive piano. Flirting with awkward and suggestive rhythms, Wright deliberately suspends moments of resolution and groove in favour of drama and jerky, unexpected cartoonish humour, taking as much influence from the likes of the Art Of Noise as Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. 

Wright rewards the listener with moments of clarity and introspection like flags on the journey, recruiting vocalist MX World to deliver lyrics and melodic ideas created by him and his father. His father’s journals in rehab helped inform most of the lyrics. Some take whole sentences as a way to physically ‘give life’ to his words for the first time. The lyrics describe feelings, revelations and  apocalyptic hallucinations. MX World's clear, direct tone suggests folk music and the timelessness of the human condition.

The album concludes with the title track ‘Inflatable Gravestone’ which features a chorus of giddy manipulated laughter from Wright’s friends and family to a truly maddening effect. This is then resolved by bright and clear piano chords and the sound of Wright’s father breathing in his sleep. A deeply affecting and personal record with corkscrew twists and turns and a healthy dose of absurdism.
releases June 2, 2023

All tracks written and produced by Harry Wright. Lyrics by Harry Wright, except track 10 lyrics by Harry Wright and William Wright. Lead vocals by MX World. Additional vocals by Nashne, Akiko Haruna and Mouse.

@sueuga - Conflict Areas EP
[PAYNOMINDTOUS, PNMTU009, out on February 16th, 2024]
[paynomindtous.bandcamp.com/album/conflict-areas]
***
Sueuga (she/her) @sueuga is a Mexican artist, DJ, and producer known for her releases on pivotal labels such as NAAFI, Hiedrah, Salviatek, Sacrilejio, Soul Feeder, Arboretum, and Precious Metals among the others. Now based in Amsterdam but raised in Oakland, California where she started her music career by collaborating with artists from the Neoperreo scene, Sueuga has been an important actress in the contemporary scene thanks to her experimental, mutant club outings primarily inspired by industrial music and dominated by unsettling atmospheres, ferocious drums, and abrasive textures. We’re very excited to announce the release of her new “Conflict Areas” EP that will be out on Friday, February 16th. 

The 5-tracker opens up with a short and eerie introduction called “Dragged” which indeed abruptly drags the listener into a perilous sound journey composed of explosive rhythmic discharges that also extend to the second and third tracks, the titular “Conflict Areas” and “Heat Therapy”. Thanks to its extensively variegated yet immediately accessible and catchy compositions, Sueuga’s awe-inspiring work manages to summon dark, infernal scenarios while also envisioning bright futures of long-awaited victory, offering a commentary on the existential struggle of unconditionally and wholeheartedly affirming one’s existence in turbulent, oppressive times. With its sense of unavoidable and relentless tension, the entire EP is an act of belligerent resistance in sound form.

The two final tracks host collaborations with the founder of the overmybody.tw label, Taipei-based DJ and producer B E N N @bedoublensound, and Duma’s noise/metal experimental musician Sam Karugu, respectively. While the first one (“Hidden Fees”) indulges into the heavy-hitting, cadenced percussive progressions previously shown in the rest of the EP (and here enriched by deep, bursting basslines and a ghastly melody), the latter (“MMXXIII”) provides a free-form anthem for all the metalheads where rumbling distortion and eerie vocals meet incessant lamentations and gurgling noise in the background.

Tracks 1-3 produced and mixed by Sueuga. Track 4 produced and mixed by Sueuga & B E N N, track 5 produced and mixed by Sueuga & Sam Karugu. Mastering by Wim Dehaen @wimdehaen. Artwork by post_cyberparamo instagram.com/post_cyberparamo/

++ PRESENTATION ++

Blown by the Wind ,¸¸,.•.¸  ¸   .-  initiated by artist and GUN member Pénélope ! 

////
Blown by the Wind is a project that highlights the voices of the Global URL Nation community, and the textures that can be created from them. The voices mingle and intertwine until a soundscape shimmering compilation is woven.

-'  `-'  `-'  `
It was a project in two phases. The first one consisted in the creation of a common pack of vocal samples - anyone from the GUN community could contribute with what they already had, or could create something specifically for the project. 
–
´¯`·- It welcomed 116111 , Amselysen, Bademjan, Epiphagi, Eurrope, Griigg, Jeune Faune, jjjacob, MYEN, Pénélope, RougeHotel, & SNKLS for around 50 voice samples.


-'  `-'  `-'  `
In the second phase, artists from GUN could propose a track using this sample pack. The idea was to consider voices as key instruments, with the possibility of shaping, distorting and transforming them at will to create new textures. 
´¯`·- Amselysen, Bademjan, Clair X, Epiphagi, Eurrope, MYEN, jjjacob, Orqualyzer, RougeHotel, & Ziyiz contributed to this phase with 10 tracks. 

-'  `-'  `-'  `
10 whispers that rise from the depth of the soul, blown away across the lands into the most welcoming ears - for a burst of comfort, contemplation or excitement.

Alto Aria - Morning Practice

COUNT is a producer and DJ from Brno, Czech Republic. Between being a resident at Filtr. and a regular host on Infame Radio, many have heard him play at other venues such as Vitamin, Fraktal or Planeta Za. Like a humanoid reptile, COUNT is a metamorph aswell. His selection constantly shifts from focused to blurred. If one thing's for sure though, it's that you'll receive a healthy dose of wubby basses. Also on many occasions he has been seen shapeshifting into a werewolf in clubs.

faded drifts like smoke in slow motion: a hypnotic blend of shadowy bass and ghostly textures that pull you beyond the surface. The beat dissolves into echoes, each layer vibrating higher, like static turning into light. It’s lofi transcendence: haunting, heavy, and spiritual all at once. This is more than a vibe -it’s an elevation to a higher frequency, a sound you don’t just hear, but disappear into.

Dreaming Of Ghosts - Not Real Anymore

what we hold within

We're honoured to premiere the new album by the inseparable duo of Chalky & Seppa, who unite again at their home of the slugs (Slug Wife label) to bring you technicolour jazzy bass music. Their sophomore 14-track album,  ‘Strange Changes’ glides through a signature blend to realise rainbow-surfing music. With duelling mastery of the saxophone and guitar, as well as a guru tier approach to production, Chalky & Seppa bring a much-needed organic touch to the heavier side of the jazz-hop / chill-hop genre, without compromising feel for technical braggadocio.
