Diagnostic and Æthereal Arthropod are two of the main players in the contemporary industrial, experimental, and noise scene in Europe, the former being one of the projects of the Belgian sound/graphic designer Jan Robbe (UndaCova, Atomhead, Erratic), and the latter being the moniker of the Spanish musician Nestor Peixoto Aballe, who responsible is for some of the harshest outings in the post-club community such as the releases on Genot Centre, Quantum Natives, and many more.

Their artistic relationship dates back to at least 2016 when Nestor's Hydra's Amaranthine Invigoration two-tracker saw the light on Entity Records, an mp3/ogg netlabel co-founded by Robbe together with Nico De Gols that was born on the ashes of the previous incarnation Tinnitus (reportedly dead in 2003 because of a server problem). Three years later, in May 2019, the two musicians spent a few days together at Robbe's place in Deinze, Belgium that ended up in several minutes of collaborative material which has since then been shaped up in their first record together, called RELIC and out on Friday, May 7th (#BANDCAMPFRIDAY!) on the artists' Bandcamp pages.

Mastered by GianMaria Dell'Aera at Dadub Studio, RELIC collects the results of multiple sessions of modular improvs and vocal fx recording that have been manipulated over the course of the next two years in the shape of a chimeric, alien flow of sound, all wrapped up into 5 track with ominous titles such as Eternal Return of the Derelict Species, The Detrimental Axis of Brutalism, etc. The record lives out of the overlap between Robbe's of radical, harsh industrial music and Nestor's beastly, grinding vocal tracks. As reported by the authors themselves, the work has been shaped around the envisioning of a long-lost, advanced extraterrestrial civilization destroyed by the magnitude of an extinction-level event, and the effects of said terror on the inner functioning of the few survivors' psyches.

Diagnostic and Æthereal Arthropod indulge in the evocation of obscure back-to-primitiveness rituals by means of guttural vocals, and oscillating infra-bass tides while simultaneously infiltrating into the mangy remainings of the inhabitants' sense of being via piercing, blade-sharp noise bursts. Today, we're glad to present you a 5-minutes excerpt out of the EP, namely the third piece called PSXLM (Psalms to the Forgotten), which represents the no-return point inside the alien ceremony that will take you to decaying landscapes of distorted fear.

On the dark wet pavement, in between reflections of flickering streetlights and leaves decomposing, we find Valley Radio 071; a compilation carrying the essence of this late November, brought to us by the exceptional SITOI (@sitoi). 

"SITOI is a multidisciplinary artist in the field of experimental music and contemporary art. She uses performance art to manifest her eerie-yet-compelling visions of vulnerability, carnality and social structures through intricate poetry and dark disjointed production. SITOI enjoys a sweaty and purifying rave amongst classic and harsh techno but finds pleasure and inspiration also e.g. in noise, ambient, avantgarde pop and wrenching experimental club music." 

You can find the mix on our Soundcloud and as always we highly recommend taking some time to dive into SITOI her other works as well.

Valley Radio 071 - SITOI

A collection of fearless love songs, inspired by Spring and the pains and ecstasies of nesting season. A gallery of lovelorn electronic ballads in the name of heartache. "Wild Love To Grow" is Eastern Nurseries' longest and bravest release to date, as well as the first to be presented physically as a double cassette edition.

"When I was alive, I aimed to be a student not of longing but of light."

Lexachast is an ongoing collaborative work by Amnesia Scanner, Bill Kouligas & Harm van den Dorpel.

Initially birthed as a joint, improvised performance between Amnesia Scanner and Kouligas at the ICA, London in 2015, it was later recreated and extended with visual artist van den Dorpel into a 15-minute online-only audiovisual work – known simply as Lexachast.

Since then, it has expanded into a live show that has been performed at Transmediale, CTM Festival, Unsound Krakow & Adelaide, Next and LEV Festival and during Paris Fashion Week in collaboration with the brand Ottolinger. Now to be released on PAN, is a new document of Lexachast in its current, full-grown form.

Whilst broadly inspired by the experience derived from and exposure to algorithmic patterns as generated by visual artist Harm van den Dorpel’s specially-devised program, the work is a sonic reference to the fallouts of avant-EDM and cyberdrone. This in turn is simultaneously mirrored by the perturbing visuals, created by a unique algorithm that sources and blends various filtered imagery from DeviantArt and Flickr in real time – with a bias towards the NSFW, extreme banality, and ornamental melancholia. The results were a perfect fit for the deliberate intention of non-intent, an anti-video of sorts, which ended up as a defining element for the project.

The artwork is created with Harm van den Dorpel’s ever-evolving, image-sourcing algorithm and it is mastered by Rashad Becker at D&M, Berlin

Amnesia Scanner & Bill Kouligas - Lexachast VI (PAN 83)

Although the initial seeds had already been planted, the largest part of these two tracks was produced by Francesco Birsa Alessandri (Sense Fracture) in Milan, Italy, during the strictest part of Covid-19 lockdown. While all around people were trying to make the best of their home confinement, all the Haunter co-founder could channel in this work was a sense of rage and frustration. The global pandemic was revealing once more how the current political structures do not exist to provide for the common good. World leaders exploited the state of emergency to provide for their own authoritarian agenda, working in conjunction with multinational Capital to reinforce the hegemonic status of the ruling class. It was immediately apparent that not even the possibility of death on mass scale was enough to re-think the force and economic relations that govern Earth. The possibility to think and work as a community constantly mauled by the paranoid, individualistic narrative of power, reinforcing the state of anxiety that permeates the world.

The furious yells in “What We Could Have Done” were sampled from Italian hardcore punk band Wretched’s 1984 classic “Spero Venga La Guerra”, its intro famously stating “I hope war comes, only then you’ll understand you could have done something”. War hasn’t come to the global north, but pestilence has, have now grasped what we could have done? How we could overthrow the present state of things and organize towards the future?

This single also comes out a few days after the murder of George Floyd at the hands of a police officer raised once more the evidence of systemic racism and the issue of white supremacy not only in the USA but in all western countries, giving birth to a mass uprise that makes the need and hunger for radical change impossible to ignore.
“RAN” a Japanese word for “riot” and “rebellion” is an invite to take action in burning down the castle, to join together and do all we can.

These tracks is dedicated to all individuals and organizations that have engaged in active popular solidarity and aid.
All the profits made by the sales of the single will be donated in an even split between the Brigate Volontarie Per L’Emergenza (Italy) and the National Bailout Fund (USA).
