Quest?onmarc contributes to CLUB CHAI with a six track EP titled ‘Phoenix’. Following a string of impressive self releases that have been heard on dance floors internationally, ‘Phoenix’ ponders experiences of a new touring artist and their experiences beyond the club. Themes of duality, persistence and rebirth guide the listener through with sonic references to Grime, Jersey Club and Ballroom. Questonmarc’s subversion of regional club references are imbued with non western instrumentation such as Duduk and Dhol drums, carving out a narrative and sound that feels mellow, manic, and meditative all at once. ‘Phoenix’ encapsulates Quest?onmarc’s quintessential sound, effortlessly hybridizing seemingly disparate genres, colliding them and burning it down to birth something entirely new.

Amnesia Scanner — Tearless
Format: LP / DL
Cat.No. PAN 108
Release Date: 19 June 2020
Purchase: pan.lnk.to/Tearless

Berlin-based duo Amnesia Scanner have announced the impending release of their sophomore LP, Tearless, a sonic reflection of how it feels to experience Earth at a time when collapse is emerging as the prevailing narrative. As Amnesia Scanner founders, Ville Haimala and Martti Kalliala watch their icy home country of Finland thaw- the staggering scale of political recalibration and the worldwide climate crisis blows open old norms. “There’s a looming sense of radical change,” they noted pre-COVID, connecting the period of making the album to a fin de siecle horror and curiosity regarding what new world is being ushered in. Tearless has been referred to as “a breakup album with the planet”, to which Amnesia Scanner responds, on the LP’s closing track: “You will be fine, if we can help you lose your mind.” Amnesia Scanner are previewing the album in the form of a video for their accidental quarantine anthem “AS Going,” a clip featuring a cascade of images of spiraling humans.

Tearless marks a turning point in the duo’s trajectory, one begun in 2014 with the AS Live [][][][][] mixtape, followed by audio play Angels Rig Hook, two EP’s for Young Turks, and their 2018 debut album, Another Life (PAN). For Amnesia Scanner in 2020, the walls of the nightclubs, galleries, and institutions fall away and are replaced by full-scale theatrical productions complete with jumbotron stages, animatronics, and a surrealist costumed cast (literally so in the XL version of the album’s live show, Anesthesia Scammer). Likewise, the musical scope of the album is expansive, with guest vocalists — the Peruvian artist Lalita and the Brazillian DJ/producer LYZZA — descending into a vast uncanny valley of sound. With the crossfader on Tearless sitting closer to pop than abstraction, so too does the audience for this record widen in scope. Opener “AS Enter” sets a sombre tone until the fucking riffs of the second track (the titular, Lalita-helmed “AS Tearless”) make clear there’s plenty of roaring to come. A feature from metalcore band Code Orange on “AS Flat” follows, along with “AS Trouble” (feat. Oracle, the third, machinic ghost-member of Amnesia Scanner) and together they hit as black-metal-gaze dirges. Closing Tearless is the sadboy grunge of “AS U Will Be Fine” with a clear statement of intent: doom, despair, insanity, absurdity, it’s all natural, all cathartic, and all OK.

For the art direction of this release, Amnesia Scanner collaborators PWR scavenged the pop cultural unconscious, as if ventilating memory dissociated by trauma. The gatefold vinyl reveals a four-panel comic, full of iconic pre-millennial motifs, which arrive cut up and reassembled collage-style: fitting visuals for an album that channels Deftones as much as reggaeton, menace as much as the drop-outness of grunge. Refuse like the ‘90s and party like the ‘20s—if that seems senseless, you are doing it right.

The album is mastered by Enyang Urbiks, featuring visual direction from PWR Studio.

Silver Blade, Shattered Mirror, Deceiver.
three tracks that lament in awareness of
the dual nature within,  

To reify ego through intense self scrutiny bears new life of the self one divided across domains. 
The identity and the identifier face each other. To spawn and destroy a vessel for sins, externalising the ego as another entity and then killing it.

Like observing the life and death of atomic particles, sound waves throw themselves into ears with violent self destruction that pulls on heartstrings. 

Dirgelike drones absorb noise dampness with massive inertia. Silver Blade chronicles the destruction of the self, glossy metals and heavy bass nestle chants of chaotic self aggrandisement, preparing the target for assassination.

Bringing awareness to the dual force within us all and then allowing it to die. 

The identity and the identifier face each other in Shattered Mirror. ‘You see yourself from the inside out’ pieces of glass embedded into the infrastructure of the psyche. Process of illumination of flesh carving the details of our sins, subconscious merging into consciousness shattering old patterns into dancing shards.

The ultimate conclusion comes with Deceiver. The immune response flushes negativity out with intense distorted polyrhythms echoing through the body. Pulsing to purge the self, veiled screams etch deeper the void outside the two halves. When there is ego death what is left?

Thegn - Shattered Mirror

"The song speaks to the certain ironies of feeling alone in this world. When you feel that you are alone, know that there are others out there who also feel alone. Thus, don’t feel that you are ever alone, since other members of "The Lonely" are always with you." - Eche Palante

"Some of you might remember Eche Palante from his track 'I Got You' uploaded via The Tipsy Tortoise. We're excited to bring the Miami native back to the scene with his debut single 'The Lonely'. It makes me feel for all of those who are working behind the scenes, and all of the artists that I have been fortunate to work with so far." - Tipsy

Arca - &&&&&
Format: LP (Special etched vinyl edition) / DL
Cat.No. PAN 100
Release Date: 18 September 2020
Purchase: pan.lnk.to/Arca
Fully remastered & first-time release of individual tracks

For anyone who can remember, Arca’s &&&&& was a moment. Its 25-minute stretch of coiling, contorted grime and glitch; dub and hip hop dropped with the buzz of an impending co-production credit on Kanye West’s Yeezus in 2013. It included cuts of sound and beats that were too weird for that pop project, while becoming a piece of experimental art that what would come to define what is by now broadly known as a ‘post-club’ sound. It’s music that is as visceral as it is experimental; made as much for the mind, as it is for the body.

Released with no warning seven years ago, &&&&& became a bridge between Alejandra Ghersi’s time partying and collaborating with her queer peers, while still living in New York to the next stage of her career releasing on Mute in London. She’d go from making beats for rapper Mykki Blanco and fashion label Hood By Air, posting lurching bass reworkings of pop hits on YouTube, and producing her first fluid mixtapes with DIS Magazine, to finishing off this seminal mixtape on the synths in Daniel Miller’s studio.

After dropping three impressive EPs the year before, &&&&& marked a transition. Continuations and extrapolations of material from Stretch 1 and Stretch 2 appeared in the mangled RnB sampling of “Century” and Arca’s signature vocal layering in the pitched flow of “Waste”. Along with the fluttering, muted heartbeat of “Obelisk”, and the lumbering piano chords of “Mother”, fourteen sonic sketches were elegantly woven together into a single, downloadable whole.

As Alejandra’s course turned toward moving to Europe from the United States, &&&&& became a remarkable challenge to the form of the mixtape, which was a relatively new trend taking hold of the online-oriented underground at the turn of the 2010s. But where many, if not most mixtapes where treated simply as a showcase of individual tracks presaging a more ‘official’ release to come, &&&&& was a complete piece in its own right. “I wanted to make something that was my best work,” Alejandra says about a record that has stood the test of time, “I listen to it very fondly today.”

Now, with the lifespan of the Arca project nearing a decade, Alejandra has entered a new era of ‘non-binary pop’ with her fourth album, KiCk i, out on XL Recordings. It’s more important than ever to look back while forging ahead, and &&&&&’s ground-breaking hybrid dance music is a good place to start:

“A sense of possibility, a sense of the unknown; punk attitude, respect for classical music and formality; cyberpunk, anime, sexual tension; trauma, innocence, fear of death; kink, lots of weed, and wanting to connect with people, but not on the terms of a status quo. That kind of sums up &&&&& for me.”

The release is mastered by Enyang Urbiks, with artwork by Jesse Kanda.
