We are proud to present Biochemical Metamorphosis by artist OCD as the final release on Noise Manifesto for the foreseeable future. 


OCD is Chiara Ricciardi, who we got to know at the queer parties of Gegen. Always impressing us with her delivery of the darker sounds of techno we love so much, it was obvious we needed to invite Chiara to Noise Manifesto. This EP was made during Chiara’s journey, starting from her cancer diagnosis and completed just after her final chemo treatment. This EP is a testament to the courage it takes to face life's challenges and emerge stronger on the other side.


Here is OCD in her own words:

This EP is a raw exploration of my journey through chemotherapy. Each track serves as a sonic snapshot of the emotions I felt during this challenging period. From the initial anticipation of the unknown, leading to feelings of despair and finally to the emergence of newfound strength to overcome cancer, this collection of tracks offers a deeply personal and honest account of my experiences. 

The progression through the EP, together with the artwork created in collaboration with artist Feo Melanin, reflects the increasing severity of the treatment and the psychological toll it took. The palette of reds is a direct reference to the chemotherapy medications I endured, while the abstract shapes represent this transformative process. This is more than just a collection of tracks; it is a personal narrative and a cathartic release.

Loone LIVE w/ OCD 27.02.2025

Voices From Beyond welcomes warehouse rave virtuosa OCD.
Presenting a 2-track digital EP that demonstrates the perfect blur where trance consorts with hammering techno drum works and melodies creating a time warp that can take one straight to the mid/late 90’s underground culture zeitgeist.  On the imaginary flip side, reknowed Lucinee is on remixing duties. Combining stems from both the original tracks and with a futuristic take, creates a peak time mind-melter that sounds like something straight out of a Wipeout video game soundtrack.
