"Highly regarded around these ways for introducing the likes of Ronce on his Dawn Records label - with whom he collaborated on the ‘Aquatics’ LP - and a string of ace compilation cuts, visual artist-turned-producer Hajj renders his most ephemeral yet affective conception of a negative ecstasy in ‘Drag Me Into the Void’. The three tracks reprise the billowing introspection of his 2020 debut for Brothers From Different Mothers , ‘Dédicace À Personne’ with a subtly refined palette and sound design, dematerialising traces elements of late ‘90s trance and up-to-the-second trap into thee gauziest, gently buoyant ambient space.

The trio of tax slot neatly into YOUTH's cross section of contemporary bedroom/living room/imaginary club space with a breezy mutability. ‘Drag Me Into the Void’ appears in subtly alternate mixes, bathing a trance siren vocal refrain in anaesthetising reverb and vapourized traces of emo-rap drums with a sublime sense of deferred gratification on the original, while nipping/tucking to more elusive allure in the ‘Euphoria’s death edit’. In the middle ‘Reverse Catharsis’ augments the syrupy ambient rap aesthetic with more pronounced woodblock percussion hinting at Burial hitting the downstroke, and lit up with killer, trancey hyper-blooz synth plucks.

Amnesia Scanner & Freeka Tet - HOAX (PAN 148)
Label: PAN
Cat.No.: PAN 148
Release Date: 04 October 2024
Purchase: pan.lnk.to/HOAX

Mutating out of the collaborative practice established on STROBE.RIP, Amnesia Scanner and Freeka Tet are so back with a new dual record project that explores and explodes norms of music production, songwriting and sonic aesthetics. HOAX is *not* an album and remix released together, but rather, a singular experience unfolding as two mirroring, mutually-reinforcing (or perhaps deconstructing) records.

The Amnesia Scanner “AS HOAX” record administers the liquid drip of devastating ballads, wandering mosh-ups and industrial flood lights that we fiend for. But, as with every AS record it is impossible to mistake the grunged-out doom for nihilism: there is simply too much raw emotion, vulnerable narrative and playful experimentation. With drums and chaos from Freeka on four “ASFT” tracks, AS has delivered perhaps their most prescient, hopeful and soon-to-be-seminal record of their genre-defining career.

Against this belligerent crispness emerges the sublime obelisk of noise in Freeka Tet’s “FT HOAX”. This is the debut full-length record released under the Freeka Tet moniker. It is a conceptual art piece that is unapologetically immediate. Using custom bashed scripts the AS record is negated, inverted and buffed down to reveal underlying rhythms and textures.

Freeka has taken the ubiquitous technology of noise-canceling headphones as a point of departure for this experiment in music-denial. The desire for eliminating environmental sounds is turned inwards to undermine the music itself. A variety of original techniques are used for ambient AS cancellation including creating a virtual space simulation and adding noise to spectrogram images.

While Freeka’s gesture is extreme, the result brings you to a serene contemplative plateau. The dual mirrored records are meant to be unlocked together: listening to the drone-ification opens up patterns and movements previously hidden, your newly trained ear will go deeper into the layers of subliminal encoding on HOAX leaving you reprogrammed.

The lyrics are a sticker suspended above reflective abyss: labeled ingredients are anchors that pull a connection out of the crashing shores of Oracle’s baritone sax croning and operatic countertenor samples from latent space. The resulting They Live glasses that are ripped from your eyes makes this dual record project a scathing polemic on state of music and creativity, thus raising the stakes of what it means to be an artist in the post-post-post-digital-crypto-AI-utopia-anthropocene.

“Perception of space and time, emotions and feelings.
Back in the days, two lovers who were living apart had found a way to cope with the distance in their relationship.
Every day at the same moment, they would climb to the nearer highest point in their area, and look towards the horizon, as if so, they could see each other. 
This episode is about the feeling of waiting for someone loved, as well as about the distance that separates us from that person, either in wide-open or in still architectural spaces.
In such spaces, we may experience the distressing feeling that time has stopped."

KABLAM (@ka-blam) is back and sounding better than ever on her new 13-track digital album ‘Confusía’.

The latest from the Swedish producer and DJ follows up her critically acclaimed 2016 EP ‘Furiosa’, which landed via esteemed Berlin-based collective and label Janus. In its entirety, ‘Confusía’ is a sonic continuation of the themes, motifs and production methods explored by KABLAM through previous solo outings as well as through her raucous remix offerings. 

It’s hard, fast, and deliciously nihilistic, fusing organic sounds with inhuman chaos. However, don’t get it twisted. This is an album that draws on her club credentials while bringing something fresh, albeit dark and dramatic, to the table.

”Confusía embodies the endless spiral of inner, outer and utter chaos,” says KABLAM. “She is my channel but also my redeemer.”

‘Confusía’ lands later this month via KABLAM’s very own label. Pre-order below and tune into album cut ‘Innominata’ now.
