[ EX.HALE ]

Ex.Hale is the brainchild of Italian multi-disciplinary artist Francesco Presotto. 
Ex. Hale’s music is characterised by dark, atmospheric textures that is driven by a modern vision of club music. The project is focused on the deconstruction of common compositional standards with the addition of crushing rhythm structures that establishes the unusual framework of Ex.Hale’s subversive approach. 

With releases on Sonic Groove, Rudiment, and Voidance, in addition to soundtracks for fashion runways and design companies and to an increasing number of performances in clubs, museums and festivals around Europe, Ex.Hale has become a formidable force in electronic and experimental music.

Yong Ying is a Berlin-based DJ originally from Hong Kong, known for her passion for creating captivating dance-floor journeys. With a unique blend of techno, industrial, broken beats, experimental sound, noise, and EBM, her sets tell a story filled with heart-pounding bass and pulsating rhythms, seamlessly crafting a dark sonic tapestry.

Her sound is an exploration of emotion and identity, reflecting her diverse background and the vibrant cultures that shape her artistry. She believes the dance floor is a sanctuary for shared exploration and profound connection. Besides having performed at prominent clubs like Tresor, Oxi, MO1, and Watergate, she is a resident DJ at Mihn Club in Hong Kong and a member of the music collective Entropy 熵.

This mix is a little tribute to her set at Tresor back in February. Since she was unable to capture the performance live, she has recreated the essence of that night in this set.

The tone is wide, there are some wide spaces but also intense energy. I have gotten to know Jean (Ottoman Grüw) over the past couple of years, from doing work to mobilize artists to speak out in support of Palestinian human rights, to working together on a series of shows in Brussels. I hope that you enjoy the mixtape. Thanks for listening. - Stefan."

:"The Berlin-based Italian is more than your average “crate digger.” He dedicates countless hours to discovering the untold stories behind the music he loves. This passion has shaped his musical ventures, particularly Mannequin Records, which he founded over a decade ago and was recognized as Label of the Month by Resident Advisor in 2017. The label has received acclaim for its blend of reissues, archival collections, and new productions, showcasing a wide array of genres including techno, electro, cold wave, and minimal synth. Adriani’s diverse tastes are evident in his extensive record collection."

79번째 벌트 팟캐스트는 앱스트랙 테크노의 경계를 넘어 강한 음향적 색채의 리듬과 텍스처로 댄스 플로어에 활력을 불어넣는 스웨덴 듀오 SHXCXCHCXSH의 80분 세트와 함께 합니다. 

“테크노, 아방가르드 같은 비현실적인 용어의 경계를 넘나드는 SHXCXCHCXSH는 지난 10년간 드라마틱함 보다는 음악적이고 음향적인 기교를 쌓아왔다. 숭배와 도피 모두에서 벗어난 이들의 음악은 살아 있고자 하는 원초적인 충동을 구현하며, 정반대의 매력을 지닌 이들의 공연은 댄스 플로어의 핵심을 해체하여 소비자가 추구하고 즐기는 모든 것을 끊임없이 파괴하고 다시 창조한다.”

The 79th episode of vurt podcast features an 80-minute set from SHXCXCHCXSH, the Swedish duo who pushes the boundaries of abstract techno, of sonic rhythms and textures and what they can do to a dancefloor.

"While borderlining the loupe of impractical terms, such as techno or avantgarde, the Swedish duo has for the past decade built a reputation for their sonic finess rather than clear dramaturgy.
Away from idolatry and escapism their music embodies a primitive urge to be alive.
Opposites attract and within that framework their performance continues to be a four leafed clover in contemporary club environments worldwide. By deconstructing the core of tomorrows dance floors SHXCXCHCXSH continually manage to create and destroy everything the consumer seek and enjoy. Where context is nothing impression is everything and the beholder remains in center."

We are very pleased to welcome Kujo as our 44th guest on the Kaos London podcast series.

Kujo is the alter persona of Karl Choueiri, a multidisciplinary artist, mastering engineer, founder of Modular Mind Records and co-director of Exist Festival (Palestine) from Beirut, Lebanon.

Weaponising the usage of noise, drone, and rooted instrumentation as means of confrontation, Kujo’s uncompromising approach to music is to observe, interpret and report the current state. Expressing angst on stage, and drawing  parallels between global conflict and internal turmoil, Kujo's anti-ideological statement can be heard in their debut double gatefold album The Rebels Have No King out on Modular Mind.

Through their Modular Mind Records imprint Kujo curates an arsenal of select artists that embody a counter culture narration of different human conditions. The label presents audio-visual works and unique crafts with each release.


As a mastering engineer Kujo’s work can be found on Hospital Productions (USA), Constant Value (SK), UIQ (UK), Parrish Smith (NL), Drowned By Locals (JO), Dekmantel (NL), Voidance Berlin (DE), Limbic Resonance (DE), Al Gharib (AUS), Judgement Hall (UK), Exist Records (PS), Beirut & Beyond International Music Festival (LB) and more
