MEETING A SECULAR NEED

SKI is Damian Kowalczyk's organic improvised solo project redefining club music. His debut album KRE was released on Pointless Geometry in 2023, featuring mutated forms of footwork, dub, techno and bass music. And it is SKI who is the second artist invited by the owner of Outlines to the drumming groove series.

groove 17 begins with edgy, rough and jagged sounds that gradually develop into systematic repetitions that penetrate each other. The foreground is dominated by drums processed by various types of effects generated by Szymon Szwarc, aka swrcfx, with whom Damian Kowalczyk previously collaborated on the KRE album. Groove 17.1 oscillates between long improvised parts flowing smoothly into more structured moments.

The first part of Groove 17.2 is set on a seemingly chaotic tangle of sounds, but in the second segment of the recording the optics change and all the layers are laid down in favour of a looped footwork dynamic. The raw and organic sound of the drums lands right in the centre of the unleashed club machinery originating from Chicago. While in the first recording the club tradition finds an outlet in loose quotations, the groove 17.2 is a classic dancefloor killer.

Damian Kowalczyk and Szymon Szwarc took up the theme of fusion of drums and footwork in an uncompromising way, shifting the weight of composition towards intuition and improvisation. Their music takes on a raw and unpredictable character, reminiscent of the frenetic nature of competing footwork dancers.

@opheliek - 'Salty Skin' is part of Gravity Pleasure's inaugural release, Water Bodies: a rippling compilation of FLINTA* artists and collaborators that invites listeners into an aqueous paraworld.

Across 21 tracks, Water Bodies spans a post-genre miasma of ethereal mermaid music, cathartic flows, and glistening sibilants ~ each one an exquisite message-in-a-bottle of deep diving emotionality. Pulling from a wide-range of musical perspectives ~ field recording, lovesick ballads, shimmering downtempo, post-party comedown, and percolating ambient ~ the compilation contains multitudes yet maintains deep sentimental coherence. Like a wave crashing in slow motion, it sonifies possible ways of being, insisting on the porous, the interdependent, and the deep and unruly. Water Bodies reminds us that home is a body made of water, to which we all belong.

~~*~~

Home is a body made of water.
Remember.

Close eyes.
Listen to drips; hear voices.
What do they tell you?
Make your body a grotto.
What does it hold?

Spider’s tapestry: flycatcher.
Roadmap: net of sinews.
Lost in night forest: seek breadcrumbs.
Remember?
Body is lighthouse: shine through cloud canopy.
Body is fish: wet is all you know.

Sink deep, fly high,
stretch your arpeggio from young to old.
Remember.

-Lou Croff Blake

Release date: October 30 2025

Fast At Work returns with another statement EP, this time from the label’s own Carré (@carreo) and her closest collaborator Danny Goliger (@dannygoliger). Navigating through textured atmospheres, rhythmic explorations, and immersive landscapes, they allowed their music to unfold naturally—an organic process shaped by curiosity and intuition. Each track was born from sampling its predecessor, creating a recursive dialogue that guided the creative flow. A commitment to a tension-building groove in ‘Up Too Late’, the warped dub throughlines of ‘Tricky One’, the intricate, delicate uptempo delight that is ‘Exit Plan,’ and the bridge between all four tracks ‘Don’t Keep Me In Suspense’ — each reflect different moments in this journey. An expert in textural exploration, the Dutch DJ and producer Konduku (@kondukukonduku) brought out the true hypnotic potential of the title track. Their influences ripple outward, yet the sound remains inherently theirs—fluid, unbound by singular genre or label.
