Hard Return's compilation, 66 artists, 8h total, all responding to the open call: "make the most repetitive thing you've ever done". All money to Doctors Without Borders.

"In The Corner Unlit" — All sounds created from a 9-second synthesizer loop, that is ping-ponging through a maze of generative effects. The generative patch builds up layers of iterations of the loop and at the same time degenerates via GAN artifacts. 

Created while accompanying Dad through his last days.

"The stars in the sky
In vain
The tragedy of Hamlet
   In vain
The key in the lock
      In vain
The sleeping mother
      In vain
The lamp in the corner
         In vain
The lamp in the corner unlit
            In vain
Abraham Lincoln
                        In vain
The Aztec empire
                           In vain
The writing hand: in vain
(The shoetrees in the shoes
         In vain
The windowshade string upon
            the hand bible
   In vain—
   The glitter of the greenglass
         ashtray
In vain
The bear in the woods
         In vain
The Life of Buddha
         In vain)"

In The Corner Unlit

SUBURBIA presents OBSESSIONS with Luke Lund [28.03.2024]

SPECTRAL SHOCK Episode 9 — @lyl_radio

Following a frantic slew of actions with his unrelenting cyber grind band Duma, the Nairobi-based risktaker Sam Karugu strikes with a knockout clash of tumultuous riff pulp, blown out matatu rides capturing the discombobulated infoxication of intercontinental treks in the digital wasteland.

Karugu’s reputation precedes him as one of Kenya’s most dextrous sonic ritualists, not to mention one of its most collaborative hardcore spirits, with a handful of inimitable blasts with his bands Duma, and Usura among a wad of other joint operations in the city’s vibrant and diverse underground. Karugu is true to the word experimental — equally welding together traditional African polyrhythms, trve Nordic riff infamies, blending real life experience subliminalities and incendiary industrial-grade breakcore for the eschaton — all things are concrète and plasticine, lo tech yet hypermodern.

Looking forward to his keenly-awaited solo debut, Karugu has prepared us a convulsing live jam taking us through a thick bog of smeared grind as No Tree Forest with 7headc0 and “Rot” Samanda of shamanic black metal legends Chovu; thrilling snippets into Slammy’s live set at last year’s Nyege Nyege; a shattered psychogeographic snapshot into the freeform chaos of Nairobi’s street atmos with its manic street preachers (the real deal); unhinged and molten smartphone recordings from the local metal scene; geophone recordings all the way from Scotland; getting down into a duo with a drum machine and stethoscoping the artist’s own heartbeat… Break the loop and tear apart the barriers dumbing us down.

2024.05.01 — Spectral Shock: Luke Lund presents Sam Karugu — LYL Radio

I’m thrilled to present the myth of MITH-XX, and unveil a first peek into their industrial record label Flesh Prison, in a very special moment of resurgence.

Flesh Prison is, relatively speaking, the discovery I've presented on Spectral Shock the quickest, and admittedly having heard the least. This is because I encountered FP during a period it was in a limbo, hovering between enigmatic existence and nonexistence. I had an immediate visceral gut reaction to the stark visual presentation and bursting roster of its fiery initial stint that revealed this is something different, made by people with a special relationship and profound passion to industrial, that goes far beyond the superficial — with tireless reportage of the many shades under the umbrella. There’s so many extra-musical (environ)mental factors that go into straggling onto the path of discovery, expression, and gravitation towards such extreme and damaged musics that I sensed strong kinship beyond our shared heroes. 

“What and who is this?” Coming across it all half-erased, I felt too late. However, FP has returned and we are proud to present a peek into what they are and what’s to come.

Montréal based Matthew Samways took their plunge into experimental music at 14 and two years later founded Electric Voice, working with the likes of Genesis P-Orridge, Xeno & Oaklander, Ike Yard, countless others. Samways has played in various bands including The Pink Noise and studied at NSCAD before founding Flesh Prison in 2021, which was on hiatus late 2022 - fall 2024. Besides the main project MITH-XX, they’re half of Heaven Axis and EXERCITUS.

Each track in Samways’ selection holds deep personal significance, from the introduction by dear late friend Silent Servant; to first works with Genesis which marked the start of their working relationship with Edley O’Dowd; releasing Brighter Death Now after 7 years of silence; long-time inspirations The Haters & co; collaboration with best friend Morgan Hall; premiering our common hero J.K. Broadrick’s new FINAL; and so many more major influences and supportive figures in their life.
