Born in 1998, Warsaw-based Julian Płoski has recently been making noise among the Polish experimental scene. Despite only being 21, he can already boast about taking part in various residencies, performing dozens of gigs including one at last year’s edition of UNSOUND, or founding an ever-fluid label 𝑔𝓁𝒶𝓂𝑜𝓊𝓇. Julek’s critically acclaimed debut album "Tesco" saw him shoplifting field recordings while hunting for discount groceries, then genuinely fusing them with bare elements of contemporary club music or IDM into ominous sound collages. Gin&Platonic is now pleased to present Julek Płoski’s sophomore full lenght - śpie.
On this yet another conceptual record he leads the listener through extensive hypnagogia occurring during onset of sleep, with all of its abrupt deflections one may eventually take while attempting to enjoy a quality rest. Constantly balancing on the edge of vague vigilance and shallow slumber, śpie teases us with stream of hypergrotesque sound scenarios often submitted by hints of deeply internal insecurities, projected through the lens of dreamstate’s very own oddity. The retained fragments of past day's experience crawl in uncontrollably and they immediately provoke wicked imagination of rather obscure situations. As the mood flows unpredictably from nightmarish periods of abrasive kick drums to sweet and serene soundscapes, on "śpie" Julek achieves to connect the wicked with the virtuous, as well as the pleasant with the destructive.

“śpie is an album about can’t wake up and waking up and can’t wake up and non-stop waking up and trying not to wake up and trying to wake up again and again.”

pray for the night that is falling on me 
never will i fail to believe
all thats dead oh

I will be your alter ego

my hope is inside of you
deep oh so deep 
hiding under the pillows 
of your pinkest dreams

let me be

INFINITE LOVE (night)

xato's 4th EP "Annihilation" is an ode to past selves than another music project.

"Annihilation" explores the dark self and the redemption that comes after the following events, with muddy drums and noisy basses being the main sound focus of the project, surrounded by field-recording manipulations and deep evolving textures.

As the opening track, "Reverse" introduces the idea of how our brains remember and process the questionable and hard moments of our past, in a remorseful and harsh one-minute reminder that took place after all the events of "Annihilation".

The second track of the project "Bodies under the Moon", introduces deep drones, lifeless drums on ritualistic patterns and heavy distortion, fused with a sample by the Finnish music composer Mikko Tarmia, best known for his dark scores in critically acclaimed survival horror games, such as SOMA, Penumbra & Amnesia. The sample was used with permission.

"Shattered Dreams" borrows the sonic concept of the previous track. Live processed gnarly bass and an emotionally empty ending, are used as the main expression of the self-titled concept.

"I sacrificed myself to the Gods of Death to live forever inside your body" is a ritual intermission that expresses the urge of merging with one another, for the search of inner peace and security.

The fifth installment of the tragedy, "Destruction", features the notion of life after "death", the birth of new ideas and directions that drag us out of the misery that surrounds us. Deep continuous bass, destructed by the intense emotions of the strings and the progression, fuses the and creates the concept above.

On "From Ashes", xato takes all the textures featured on previous tracks of the project and combines them all together with a piano recording by UK artist Waller, mixing them into a dark, but soothing end to the story.

EP contains bonus tracks "Drowning" & "Strum".
