PRESS RELEASE
Here it is Italy-based solo artist Gioele Valenti aka HERSELF at its fourth official album, after lucky issues for Jestrai Records (VERDENA), and many minor episodes for foreign labels, now on DeAmbula Records, a label that includes in roster artists like ULAN BATOR and PINEDA.
Recorded between home and studio, these new 13 tracks combine intimate lo-fi folk attitude, which has always characterized the project, with the grain of Anglo-American tradition and exciting canterburian echoes or gothic elements - for a sound like Canterbury meets psychedelia. Ideally a crossover between Bill Callahan and Sophia. 
Have collaborated on cd: Aldo Ammirata, Marco Campitelli (The Marigold) and Amaury Cambuzat (Ulan Bator) – who has played in the songs "Sugar Free Punk Rock" and "How You Killed Me" and took care of the mastering.

Dance Mekanik is born from the vibrant underground of Ghent and Brussels, dedicated to pushing the boundaries of electronic music culture. More than just a party, Dance Mekanik is a movement—a fusion of sound, spirit, and community. At its core lies a commitment to sonic innovation, communal connection, and deeper awareness through dance.
Dance Mekanik curates a bold, cutting-edge soundscape—celebrating the raw, hypnotic pulse of techno, electro, industrial, and experimental electronic genres. Their events are carefully crafted journeys, showcasing both emerging and visionary artists who challenge the norms of dancefloor music. Every event becomes a living lab for new frequencies, a sanctuary for sound exploration, and a gateway to altered perception.
Rooted in inclusivity and collaboration, Dance Mekanik cultivates a space where differences dissolve into rhythm. It brings together dancers, creators, and seekers into one shared experience—one collective body in motion. Through intentional gatherings, immersive visuals, and powerful sonic architecture, the collective builds an ecosystem of mutual support, respect, and expression.
Inspired by the ancient power of dance as a ritual of transformation, Dance Mekanik approaches the dancefloor as a sacred site—a portal for inner discovery. The energy of movement becomes a tool for presence, elevation, and collective awakening. By aligning music with symbolic intention, the collective invites its audience to not just dance—but to remember, transcend, and awaken.
Dance Mekanik’s emblem—a radiant Egyptian pyramid honoring Betelgeuse, the red supergiant star of the Orion constellation—is no coincidence. It’s a tribute to cosmic knowledge, ancient wisdom, and the deep interconnection between earth and stars. The logo reflects the collective’s ethos: bridging primal energy with galactic consciousness, grounding the rave in myth, mystery, and meaning.

Routine Death began in 2015 when two musicians, one in Gothenburg Sweden and one in Austin Texas, started sending music to each other.
