Desire Path

Aplaudir el Desastre

Fresh heat outta Kyoto, a return to @svbkvlt finds @rilla-almadella delving further into the uneasy realms of rhythmic experimentation. 

Sporting remixes from Nahash, Tra Tra Trax’ Bitter Babe and Gorong Gorong’s Kadapat, ‘Yukou / 遊光’ leaves genre boundaries decimated in the pursuit of breakbeat and dembow abstraction. In the case of our premiere, a dancehall rhythm quickly descends into rattling, acid-tinged maelstrom. 

'Yukou / 遊光' is out October 26th on SVBKVLT.

On New Existence, personalbrand presents three fidgeting, hyperactive tracks that use grime-inspired motifs and experimental club influences to communicate a sense of future shock, the feeling that change and transience has become so rapid that it is now overwhelming. Yet rather than becoming preoccupied with cascading catastrophes, the tracks' more abrasive aspects repeatedly interact with organic elements, alluding to decelerated ways of living that combine technological development with appreciation of the natural world.


personalbrand makes experimental electronic music and is currently based nowhere in particular. Realising the futility in earlier fixations on dystopias and doomerism, he now uses music to explore how visions of hope might be reflected in the shards of our contemporary failures.

Producer, curator, and founder of experimental label POSTWORLD, the current iteration of personalbrand is exploring how visions of hope might be reflected in the shards of our contemporary failures. Despite his moniker, he is presently focused on illuminating the music and art of others that share this anticipative outlook.

personalbrand has released music on TAR and Over My Body, and is a former resident DJ at Taipei's FINAL.

Boomkat Product Review:

Heavy-duty Indian soundsystem carnage by its leading proponent DJ Smiley Bobby, on Uganda’s immense NNT - unmissable for anyone wowed by recent videos of Indian sound clashes, priming the label for incoming heat by DJ TSR.

A proper mazza from Maharashtra State in Western India, DJ Smiley Bobby’s ‘Dhol Tasha Drum Exercises’ presents nearly an hour of up-to-the-second, electronic re-interpretations of ceremonial drums. It’s a full-frontal example of the rave energies in BRIC countries currently catching fire internationally, paralleling innovative mutations of Baile funk in Brazil or from the Svbkvlt lot in China with a ruthlessly rough brand of dancefloor discipline that sharply bends tradition into the hot present. Yr ears will not deceive you - DJ Smiley Bobby’s gear is frankly some of the sickest we’ve heard in a minute and we expect this introduction to be prized by any ravers unsatisfied with Western club music’s increasing tendencies to imitate-not-innovate.

First formed by the late Shri Appasaheb Pendse in the ‘60s, Dhol Tasha Drum exercises were originally performed on a sort of acoustic kettle drum but became electronically adapted in recent years thanks to the likes of DJ Smiley Bobby and peers including DJ Aasif, DJ Ammy, and DJ TSR, the latter of whom is due to drop an album with NNT this year. DJ Smiley Bobby’s introductory session finds the sound at its stripped down and breathless best with a ceaseless battery of drums and percussive madness that truly puts willing bodies thru their paces as the mixtape steps from side A’s 90-110bpm workout to its 150bpm ‘Hard Drum Sound System’ on the flip.

Also kinda mirroring the way DJ Plead has flipped Arabic drum styles, how Bilou XIV have transposed Senegalese mbalax drum patterns onto machine grids, or DJ Diaki’s Malian balani knee-ups, we’re certain this one will light up the pleasure centres of proper dancers everywhere, and dovetail with the sort of thing Beatrice Dillon makes, or anyone who’s been scouting zones where Indian bhangra and UK rave music bump fists, a la Mick St. Clair’s remixes of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

Un-fucking-missable!!!

PREMIERE //>> A Better Tomorrow - k:i:o:s:k

The first single from aircode's new album 'Surface Tension' (G&P025), out September 24, 2023 

Julia Svensson alias @aircode is a Swedish producer and sound designer based in London. In the past years Julia has been leisurely refining her signature out-there blend of gloomy yet elegant sound distinguished by an incorporation of slack piano tones and timid vocals intertwined with bleak samples and worn-out dub rhythm cameos. Since her first output via TT (fka Tobago Tracks) in 2019 she's been steadily releasing music via imprints like Alien Jams and Nostro Hood System, or just lowkey through her own bandcamp page. After helplessly drowning in her music since we first heard it, we are now more than honored to have the opportunity to present Julia's sophomore full-length album 'Surface Tension'.

Building on her past work, Surface Tension is an especially electrifying creation. Higher density sounds are gliding on an unfolded surface without ever being fully submerged, complementing each other into an enticing and immersive listen. With Julia's music, the long-depleted term 'sonic landscape' suddenly makes much of a sense. Captivating with it's well-measured approach, it draws an attentive listener into a world of intricate and finely nuanced compositions in which an unrushed precision and intuitive approach to writing can be clearly sensed.
“Surface tension tends to make a drop spherical, gravity tends to flatten a sessile drop and elongate a pendant drop, and the electric field typically elongates a drop along the direction of the field” - says science. Similar to the dichotomy of a liquid dripping process, Surface Tension inherently shifts into two distinct mood opposites. Straight from the beginning of the record a palpable tension can be felt, hinting at a series of inevitable plot twists that keep the listener submerging in its enthralling waves. While most of the tracks start with a calm before a storm, halfway through 'Slow Burn' or 'Dissimilar Liquids' Julia delves into the very depths of dank dubstep bass. Surface Tension weaves a vibrant narrative - at times a confluence of serene comprehension other times bordering on a pleasure of suffocating in its intensity.
