Background Article

Lisu Traditional Music

‘I World’ is a festive pop anthem to sing along and dance to while the world is on the brink of collapse. The main characters celebrate beyond care and limits. They create their personal worlds according to their needs and egos. No future. No past. We want things now.

I World

Arcane Patterns #55 on Noods Radio w/ CRΞSC

Hi, for a proper jump into May, we present an exclusive guest mix by @bassb0uncebe by from Chemnitz, Germany. Together with FLAX they organise Lapislazuli, an event for (genre)fluid bass music. 

She presents a mix reflecting of what she currently adores in club music with some of her favourite artists, fresh discoveries and mostly new releases. The motto, for now and for long: stay fluid.

Her guest mix will be introduced by a short warm up set by Arcane Patterns co-founder @k-lone aka Alienationist.

Sonic Worlding - Philipp Rhensius aka Alienationst & |end| - 02 Dec 2024

A mixtape drawing together contributions from friends around the world, including folks running independent record labels, record producers, poets, community radio producers, musicians and others. 

All these tracks were recorded directly, drawn from community radio producers and collected directly from the artists, or through direct communication with some independent record labels. All the works were pulled together with the intention of sharing a mix that can point in a tiny way to the depth of different artistic and activist voices from around the world who have Palestine in their hearts. 

This mix was originally broadcast on Radio AlHara on Sunday, Feb. 16, 7am-11am eastern time, 2-6pm Palestine time, live on radioalhara.net

Palestine at the heart of it all

Alienationist descends into the abyss of what we naively call the self — only to expose its greatest lie: that it was ever self-contained. Like a vessel, it is shaped by what flows through it—data, surveillance, blurry memories.

Blurring the lines between club resonance and poetic introspection, the Berlin-based artist fuses breakbeats, drones, and spoken word. Poems intertwine with pulsing 100 BPM rhythms and ambient textures, creating a sardonic dance between person and avatar. Glitchy beats and spectral drones reflect our fractured, hyperlinked identities. Is it a critique or a celebration of our hyperconnected era? Probably both. LOL.

The EP unfolds in two parts: Echoes [out on May 30th] captures the external gaze—surveillance, digital traces, and the self sculpted by observation. Fragments [out on July 1st] drifts into the unseen—digital ghosts, the seeming banality of mundane privacy when no one is watching. Where does the self end and the algorithm begin?
