I would like to tell you a story of a young promising shipibo shaman who tragically passed away, his struggling family in need of support and a song collaboration that we made between the spirit and physical realms. 

When I came to Peru I experienced 4 powerful ceremony with Shipibos. I really connected energetically with one of the shamans, the youngest and most energetic one - Felipe Segundo. He had a great stamina and his Icaros were really powerful, at the same time he was a very gentle soul. I still remember when the big dose of Ayahuasca totally blew me into the fractal womb and I didn't want to come back to reality, but when I finally hearda voice telling me that he wants to sing for me and if I want to sit up and receive it. Just because of my respect for him I knew I need to be reborn into my body and so, all covered in my purge, barely seeing with one eye up and holding my self up into balance I got up and received his Icaro. Those ceremonies became the main reason why I continue to live in Peru and work with plant medicine and sound. 

After the ceremonies we promised to make a song together but I've never felt ready. Almost a year later he died tragically in a moto caro accident... I've felt I forever lost the chance to honor him with our promised song. Recently I was having a solo mushroom journey in the music studio of the Sacred Valley in Peru, I listened to some track and when it finished the next song that came on with shuffle was the recording of his Icaro from the ceremonies we shared. I wasn't aware I had it on my macbook among gigabytes of music. I understood this is no coincidence so I started working on my sound promise. 2 days ago the beother of Felipe Segundo wrote me that the family is struggling because of the COVID, they're sick and need financial support. They offer their handicrafts and need help. I understood again that these synchronicities are not an coincidence.

I am sharing the finished song to reach more people, a collaboration between the spirit and physical world, the jungle and the Sacred Valley, between me and a beautiful soul that won't sing again in the ceremony but his voice will always stay in the energetic body and DNA of the people he helped. Our promise is now complete brother. 
This is his last Icaro...

Eclectique Podcast series introduces: Röskva @user-8664795


Passionate for classical piano since she was 7 and raised surrounded by the influences of Punk, gravitating towards concerts and band rehearsals thanks to her father and uncle, Tanya Pollock a.k.a Röskva is an electronic musician and a Völva from Iceland, who was always taught to go her own way.

During the early 90's, at the age of 12, Tanya together with her cousin Marlon Pollock, started developing great interest for hardware drum machines, synthesizers, Drum N' Bass music and soon after, by the time she was living in the US with her parents, Old Skool Hardcore took over her mind. During that period of time, Tanya and Marlon would send tapes to each other with groundbreaking music, one of them being "ICERAVE", a compilation full of rave breaks made by some of the hottest Icelandic electronic musicians from 1992. That tape, led her to start experimenting with the genre, cutting beats from artists like Biogen and Thor from the collaborative project "Ajax", making her own versions of the tracks that inspired her to keep making electronic music.

Marlon has been her main music partner from the very beginning. At 14, they were already collaborating using the name Anonymous, alias under which at 16 they debuted as the supporting act for Sigur Rós, subsequently being invited several times to form part of the line up from the renowned festival Iceland Airwaves since 1999. A few years later they evolved to "PLX" a.k.a Tanya & Marlon, a moniker under which they released their colorful IDM and Ambient debut EP called "Quillock" on Möller Records in 2012. Today they keep creating new music as Röskva & Svartikaldur.

Tanya has been hosting electronic music ceremonies since over 20 years, including the Iconic Weirdcore nights in Reykjavik, founded in 2006 by herself and the legend Sigurbjörn Þorgrímsson a.k.a Biogen, to bring back together the Icelandic electronic music scene after a quiet period in the beginning of the new millenium. Eventually Weirdcore ended up hosting the first Airwaves event dedicated to Icelandic electronic music in 2010.


In more recent years, Pollock spent time writing a personal (musical) journal, making music she initially had no intention to release, but to use as a way to channel and translate ineffable feelings into sound and process past experiences in her life. That diary would later become her debut album "Laug", released on December 1st of 2020 under her alias, Röskva. 

You can stream Laug now on Bandcamp, Spotify and iTunes.

ECLECTIQUE Podcast | Hosted by Röskva | April 12th 2021

The debut album of Istanbul born, Berlin & Copenhagen based artist Nene H (real name Beste Aydin) titled ‘Ali علي’. In this record Aydin has used her background as a classically trained pianist and her deep, foundational knowledge of musical theory to synergise contrasting electronic compositions and the mental process of mourning the death of a loved one.

Born as a tribute after the passing of her late father, Aydin has found catharsis through a personal odyssey, the reflection of which can be seen through these 8 tracks. Raised in a traditional Turkish family and now living in Germany with its westernized lifestyle, informs the intersections of identity and duality that Aydin exists and creates from within. This consolidation of identity has pushed her to seek solitude and confidence in the power of being able to represent the process of her existence in the scene as a Middle Eastern woman with Muslim upbringing. 

Written and Produced by Beste Aydin

Mastered by Rashad Becker

'Lament' is taken from Nene H's 'Ali' LP

Paula Temple at Katharsis 2019

electronic music

Haunter Records is proud to present Left My Brain @ Can Paixano (La Xampanyeria) OST. A project five years in the making, dotted by contributions from dear friends Asaël Robitaille, v1984 and Marie Davidson; it is Osborne-Lanthier’s most ambitious work to date and, in many ways, an elegiac record. Largely composed and produced in the shadow of his mother’s passing, it also contains an another sort of elegy: to a infamous Barcelona restaurant that functioned as a daily stop for Osborne-Lanthier during a stay in Catalunya. It was in the midst of  that trip that he started adding sardonic, deranged experiments to his then-overtly serious, academic work. After his mother’s passing in 2016, nostalgia drove him to revisit a body of old recordings where he discovered something new: the sarcasm, self-effacing humour and proficient technicality he’d found so funny originally was now just a mask for insecurity and sadness. He set out to rework those recordings, reprocessing them over and over until their structures completely changed, until they’d gained such texture and depth they were no longer recognizable.
 
The music’s journey construes a multi-layered story, one only he can tell. The record smacks with a wet nostalgia that soaks into the concrete dryness of Osborne-Lanthier’s sound design, maintains a taste for intensity as a tool for immersive engagement. There’s a widescreen romanticism to these compositions, reminiscent of a vivid dream: the tracks are tactile and elastic, morphing rapidly from uncanny-valley EDM tropes to vast, sweeping expanses of sincere choral synths. Osborne-Lanthier sees the album as something of a concept cemetery; an overgrown plot that slowly filled to the brim with dead ideas; a mycelial network of thoughts and plans that never came true. The fruiting body of a fungus born from the nutrients of dead plants: an opus born from trash. 
 
For all of its absurd alien beauty, this is as much a record about being a musician as it is a record about making fun of music: as much an expert-level exploration of technical chops as it is an assault on the stupidity of technicality. Beautiful film-like ambient passages flow directly into weapons-grade riffs, fluid whirlpools drain into chattering synths and shrieking frequency envelopes. Ugliness and immaturity are not only preserved but elevated. The result is Osborne-Lanthier’s most finely-honed record to date — a reflection of what it is to be human: divinely uncategorizable.

Composed between 2015 and 2020 in Montreal, New York, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Milan, Tokyo, Stockholm, Osaka and Shanghai by Jesse Osborne-Lanthier.
