@nozagam is a solo project by French experimental-club producer Etienne Zastko who takes a bleak view of a destructive Anthropocene Epoch, in which “utopias can’t exist and we’ve lost our way in our blind devotion to technology”. The album pieces together a chronology of catastrophic events. A fictionalized soundtrack to humankind’s end-cycle. The abrasive textures and suffocating atmosphere immerse us into a total universe where everything that could have gone wrong has. Affirmations and tech bro optimism didn’t quite cut it. And if those disembodied voices that sporadically reach out are the survivors, that’s not good news.

The visual aesthetic of Zagam is one of fusion, a medieval plague doctor mask with a 23rd-century twist. “Anthropocene” mines a similarly disparate set of influences, spanning an evermore hybridized clubspace. Gqom, grime, industrial techno, footwork: everything is fair game. The rich musical background and hard sonic palette of Zagam make for a perfect match for the hybrid electronics approach of Unizone.

For our 60th release, we are very excited to present ‘Ison’, a new album by ABADIR.

Growing up in Heliopolis, Cairo, I used to visit different churches with my parents for Sunday mass and on Christian holidays. Fascinated with the choir and chants by various sects, I absorbed all these different sounds into one hybrid memory, which was the main inspiration for ‘Ison’. Using segments and field recordings from Coptic, Syriac, Maronite, Greek Orthodox and Catholic choirs, I present my own vision of what can be described as fresh hymns, fictional chants, or parts of a contemporary Sunday mass.

This is not representational. This is not a cultural relic for the exoticizing gaze. This is purely personal; a fictional sound rooted in the present.

While ‘Ison’ is clearly different from my last album, ‘Mutate’, it follows the same approach of revisiting cultural surroundings for potential mutation. If Mutate’s clubby vibe was made “to make the floor burn”, Ison is intended to cure last night’s hangover.

Emotional Relief

Taken from @vinerrrrr - Navro’z [TMF!06]

Out on february 16th, 2024
Order : tripalium.bandcamp.com/album/tmf-06-viner-navro-z

In his new mini-album, Viner explores the colonial history of Central Asia. He protests against nostalgia for the "great past" of the USSR and imperialist tendencies, deeply ingrained in the consciousness of the older generation that largely defines the current politics of the region. Being clearly against and tired of the same-old-same-old tales of how marvelous the past was, Viner in his 'Navro'z' calls to question these concepts, examines the anxieties of the present, and explores the possibilities of the future. The title itself hints at a new chapter of post-Soviet countries’ history.

In Zoroastrian tradition, Navro’z is a festival of spring and a symbol of a new beginning, a new life. People who celebrate Navro'z believe that the more good you do on this day, the luckier the year will be. And it's about time we all have a lucky year, for a change.

Meticulous work with composition has turned this dance album into a true blockbuster. Viner, a master of unexpected turns, switches gears from ample emotional moments to fantastic intense choreography of Central Asian rhythms. Epic scenes alternate with harsh slaps and yells, as if reflecting the unstable psyche of the author, who transitions from almost childlike calmness (hello "Boards of Canada") to difficult-to-control rage.

If we go post-colonial, we go full speed and unravel the similarities in the music of the oppressed. Uzbek vocals by Turgan Alimatov, monotonously repeating “nova", sound like a reminder of possible freedom from the metropolis; Asian drums of Naubat sound distinctly Central African. In G'azab feat. Wulffluw XCIV, Uzbek instruments [doyra, kairok, surnai, thunderous qurnai] sound like a potent mix of Paris vogue ball and footwork of the backstreets of Chicago — unabashedly delving into a multi-layered concept without losing its dance dynamics.

As an Asian Russian artist in exile, Viner, through his own experience, has realized that the personal is political and now challenges the widespread escapist belief that music — or any form of art, for that matter — is apolitical. By blending seemingly unmixable music styles, Viner hopes we can navigate the rapids of decolonization smoothly and without violence.

Madhi, Pt. 2 ماضي (De Grandi Remix)

"Aethernal Score’’, Aisha Devi’s commission for the BBC Concert Orchestra, is an attempt to intensify the vibrational capacities of the orchestra and divert the expected course of classical-electronic collaboration. Devi has always used her art to push against cultural presumptions, so it made sense to assemble the initial framework for the piece from some of her acclaimed back catalogue, meshing it with new compositions and reworking everything with orchestral elements that follow Devi's radical metaphysical and theoretical guidelines. It's best described as a twenty-minute "mixtape" that embodies the connections between the concert hall, the club and the sacred ritual - or even a demonstration of the orchestra's hidden potential.

Inspired by her Himalayan heritage, Devi has been exploring the entrancing sonic application of monastic practices such as throat singing for many years, as well as developing psychoacoustic methods. This led her to perceive sound as a way of expanding brain activity - something that also plays a shrouded role in the world of chamber music. Applying this to the orchestra, she began thinking about each instrument as a discrete frequency range, searching for its ethereal properties rather than fixating on an object saddled with cultural baggage. Using the density, amplitude and vibrational impact of the sounds in unison, Devi was able to summon the club environment, seizing that space's inherent power - Devi was making orchestral rave.

Two versions of the score are included on the release, one orchestrated in collaboration with Robert Ames and conducted by André de Ridder, performed on October 29, 2021 with the BBC Concert Orchestra at Queen Elizabeth Hall which was commissioned by Elizabeth Alker for Unclassified Live, and the purely electronic version - the synthetic backbone of the composition. Both are very different, and listened to together highlight the transformative power of instrumentation. The result is like a purge of history and hierarchy, with tools of colonization hollowed-out and fashioned into new shapes. A clash of grandeur and sensitivity, and a live deconstruction of the artistic ego, "Aethernal Score" is transcendent re-evaluation of classical and electronic sounds that doesn't just make you think, it makes you resonate.

Mastered and cut by Matt Colton at Metropolis.
