Risk Transfer

From the album "What Stays In Vegas" out 22 November.

A chance meeting in Bucharest two summers ago saw Ratty Slay Johnson and Soopie reunite. It has been a much discussed topic amongst art and music circles as to how and why Rat Section abruptly fell into obscurity in the late 90s and up to this point their sudden disappearance remains a mystery.

Their sparse back catalogue seems inaccessible now. A dedicated collecting community known as ‘Club Rodentia’ sought to preserve their tape and vinyl output, amassing releases from Ratty Slay Johnnie’s sophomore release ‘Tails from Estonia’ to Soopi and Slay John’s last known excursion ‘Tashkent Knights’.

An unfortunate occurrence led to the destruction of this archive in 2005. Member of Club Rodentia Carlos Moscato was quoted in an article of NME magazine saying “In the dark of night, a fire emerged, I was responsible at the time for the care of the archive, as standard Rodentia protocol we would move the collection every 3 months, for both preservation and for local access to Rat Sections catalogue. On the final night of my duty I heard footsteps, a crash, and before my eyes years of hard work erupted in flames. Since this incident I haven’t found even a crumb of Rat Sections body of work and people say we will never see them again." Carlos Moscato was correct, until now.

Rat Section have been active for the last two years with appearances in London, Berlin, Malmö, Melbourne, Paris and Los Angeles, it looks like we are finally going to hear Rat Section again. They have found a home for their debut album on Halcyon Veil.

Rat Section are back in the spotlight.

Bandcamp

Rat Section - Rat Lifestyle

After a quiet period, ZEAN returns with his fourth solo EP, "No Roots" on Gully Riddim. These tracks were produced during the pandemic and are distinctly different from his earlier work. He uses a sombre atmosphere and fragmented, unpredictable rhythms, combined with various distorted and overloaded sound samples of both humans and animals, attempting to diversify his sound and break free from his own stereotypical and fixed creative approach. This is also a form of self-criticism against this culturally barren land. The EP includes five of ZEAN's tracks, along with two remixes, one by Argentinian producer Jaiiu and another by South African producer Jumping Back Slash. Both remixes reduce the experimental sounds of the originals, simplifying the song's rhythm and structural changes, and making them more friendly for the dance floor.

ZEAN在一段时间的沉寂后，在Gully Riddim带来他的第四张个人EP ”No Roots“。这些制作于疫情期间的声音明显的不同于他早期的作品，他用暗沉的氛围感与破碎的不固定节拍，结合各种添加了失真和过载效果的人与动物的声音采样，试着使其更加多样化，以此打破自身刻板和固定的创作思路，也是向这片文化贫瘠的土地表达自我的批判。此EP包含5首ZEAN的个人曲目以及两首Remix，分别来自阿根廷制作人Jaiiu，南非的Jumping Back Slash。两首Remix都减少了原曲的实验性声音，简化了歌曲的律动和结构变动，使其更加适合舞池。

3. Unknown Outcome Is Always Better

Artist: IN THE SUN
Album: Dawn
Format: Digital / Tape
Cat.No: CHI049
Master: IN THE SUN
Artwork: Saphy Vong
Release Date: 27.09.24

Pounding traditional drums and grinding synths herald Dawn, the new album from post-industrial Tokyo duo IN THE SUN, their first release on Chinabot.

Dawn was inspired by the musical traditions and wild mountain landscapes of composer TIDEPOOL’s childhood in rural Japan. Layers of ethereal synthesizers and wailing saxophones by Kim Pueru evoke the mist and granite of mountains are beaten with rhythms that hit like shattering rocks.

The record “embodies a fusion of synthetic and percussive elements, evoking both mysticism and raw energy,” says TIDEPOOL. “The juxtaposition of dystopian undertones and the resilience of nature serves as a thematic backdrop, reflecting on societal shifts and personal introspection.”

Dawn’s instrumentation may be inspired by Japanese taiko drums and African percussion, but it remains extremely contemporary, with swirling rhythms of singeli, juke, footwork, gabber, and minimal to create an evil cacophony. The album also nods to the GORGE movement, which is experiencing a resurgence in Japan.

TIDEPOOL describes the record as an “epic poem.” This is evident on Twilight, where urgent synths and nimble per- cussion makes you wonder what Akira would have looked like set in on a mountain range instead of in Tokyo.

On Voidance, bells, drums and saxophone are whipped up onto a violent storm which builds and crashes repeatedly, a powerful statement of intent from one of Tokyo’s most exciting contemporary acts.

About IN THE SUN:

Organized by TIDEPOOL since 2011, IN THE SUN has a fluid lineup, with Kim Pueru joining on tenor saxophone for Dawn. TIDEPOOL utilizes ethnic drums, synthesizers, and laptops and is influenced and inspired by artists such as Haruomi Hosono, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Throbbing Gristle, Geinoh Yamashirogumi, CAN, among others.
They supported Baltimore duo Matmos during their Japan tour and organized the party known as “RAW TEMPO” at Bushbash.

∎ The original idea behind our third compilation, which is called „SWINE WORLD 003“, is based on the collaboration and exploration of new sounds. Every track is a work of two or three artists, that have never cooperated before. We wanted to create a clash of many different styles and approaches.

➜ In the end, we managed to fuse 25 artists, that have created 11 songs.

[Première] WULFFLUW XCIV - Shrift

Born out of three years of displacement after the outbreak of war, Index_0 emerges as a sonic artifact — a fractured reflection of modern existence. It is a diary of dissolution, an intimate yet raw exploration of identity in a world where horror and beauty intertwine.

Carving through deconstructed club, noise, and spectral electronics, the album captures a personal eidos — a state of being filled with tension, love, regret, psychosis, warmth, and fleeting moments of joy. The sound textures, layered and evolving, serve as a means of reflecting on the present, shaping a deeper understanding of oneself and the surrounding world.

Forged on X-ray records, Index_0 is more than just an album; it is a relic of the future. Each copy is an unrepeatable anomaly, a ghostly imprint of lost vinyl cutting techniques, where frozen human shadows are reanimated into pulsing waves of energy. It is a bridge between the material and digital, past and unknown, a physical ritual inscribed onto fractured bones.

This is album as a time capsule, an echo from a collapsing reality, awaiting activation.

Produced, composed and mastered by WULFFLUW XCIV.
