ALL TRACKS WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY FLORENT HADJINAZARIAN IN ST FONS, FRANCE.
INSPIRED AND DEDICATED TO "MELANCHOLIA DER ENGEL"
MASTERING BY DANIEL MUMBERSON
DESIGN BY MON


Bringing on the cold rush, seven tracks, all 3:33 long, Hajj’s sound is among the most distinctive in his field on ‘No Soul, No God, No Devil, No Existence’. Influenced by Marian Dora's 2009 film 'The Angels' Melancholia', the album is perhaps best defined by the stark negative ecstasy of its highlight ‘Drag Me Into the Void’, presenting Hajj as a master of collage-like structure, in possession of a compelling grasp of atmosphere. It stands out from much of the contemporary french music we’re aware of for its oblique rejection of club muscularity in favour of more unusual, weightless pressure and suggestively gestural arrangements. That’s not to say it’s not ripe for certain moments in the club, it just doesn’t give them readily.

Beginning like Biosphere doing dankest road rap with DJ Lostboi (anyone checked that Nedarb cut lurking on Æ’s Bandcamp purchase list yet?) in ‘Our Lady of Darkness’, he holds an immaculately dark-but-lush appeal from the K-hole nightmare of ‘Loosing U 4 Ever’ to the cosmic plangency of ‘Vox Tenebrae’, meting out discomfiting intro rap like a fantasy Croww x Ronce in ‘Heaven’s Calamity’, and like Spectre x Pan Daijing in ‘Do U Remember Bein Born’, while his ear for saliva-inducing textures comes to fruition on the voyeuristic vortex of ‘Burning Illusions’, perfectly distilling the cold rush on an original mix of the glorious ‘Drag Me Into the Void’.

Hajj - Reflections On Repulsiveness (King Doudou Repulsive Remix) [Bad Tips]

Kolkata-based musician Nilotpal Das aka @bioscontrast's new album 'Red River' was birthed from a myth taking place over a Century around 340 BCE to 232 BCE during the rise of the Mauryan Empire.

The partly fictitious story follows the fabricated assassination of Ashoka by a Blacksmith from the Mauryan Empire whose entire family fell victim to The Kalinga War. 

The legend says 100,000 people were lost in the war which turned Daya River into a red bloodwater. Regardless of Ashoka's plans to promote peace the aftermath of the war caused a never-ending rage towards the Empire by its own people which eventually led to the downfall of Mauryas.

Available via limited edition of 50x tapes & digital from 25 October 2024.

Wisconsin-based producer and drummer Chants (The Trilogy Tapes, Maximum Airtime, Astral Plane Recordings) meets master drummer Dave Schoepke on this all-drums LP for Brussels-based Maloca Records. ‘Speleogenesis’ blends live drumming with dub techniques and dancefloor-informed production, guided by imagery of a subterranean world. It’s a full-circle moment, as the two met when Chants (aka Jordan Cohen) took drum lessons from Schoepke during his teenage years.

The recording process began with Chants creating skeletal demos for Dave Schoepke to improvise on. Schoepke recorded many layers of drums and percussion, running some of them through his hardware synthesizers. Chants then shaped these recordings, resulting in the cavernous dub techno track ‘Pressure Slide’, the Brazilian-influenced ‘Ritmo Crudo’ and ‘Ritmo Puro’, and the uptempo, slippery dancehall dub of ‘The Quickstepper’.

Chants then assembled a new palette of samples from this core and constructed dancefloor-focused bangers like the hyperactive ‘Cyclone Rhythm’ and minimal 170 bpm ‘Rafter’, adding his own homegrown breakbeats. As the album took shape, the music kept evoking mental images of caves, tunnels, and underwater caverns that in turn influenced the final pieces. ‘Notes from Underground’ and ‘Speleogenesis’ present a more unfiltered view of Schoepke’s nuanced drumming. ‘Airbell Dub’ was also created using material from one of Schoepke’s meditative solo performances. Finally, ‘Cavernicole’ features both drummers in full duet mode, trading phrases over an insistent kick drum pulse.

“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."

Hesaitix - Noctian Airgap (PAN 152)
Label: PAN
Cat.No.: PAN 152
Release Date: 06 December 2024
Purchase: pan.lnk.to/NoctianAirgap

Through the haze we could make out hardly anything. Just the black line of the horizon. And in the distance the faint glimmering of the sea.

James Whipple returns from a long period of musical dormancy with his first full length LP for PAN since 2017.

As M.E.S.H., he honed a singular and unpredictable sonic identity on his debut album Piteous Gate. Re-emerging as Hesaitix, the now-familiar motifs have become streamlined, the sound palette both more refined and more elaborate. Even at its most abstract, there is an uncanny presence permeating the record, a convincing emotional reality with its own narrative and spatial logic.

Opener ‘Cusp of Unknowing’ announces itself with crushing low end synths feathered with delicate chimes before dissolving into the oceanic din of a data center. Rolling, engine-like subs mark the start of ‘Taurian Shade,’ a low- tempo percussive drive past iced-over chords and angular synth lines. ‘Geflatnet’ and ‘Volunteer’ dip into grooves bordering on nostalgic, referencing a misremembered golden era of electronica long-players. On ‘Santarosae (Black Dolphin),’ a sense of primordial awe comes to the fore, while ‘Black Line,’ originally presented as an audio installation in 2022, uses the human voice to explore a narrative approach to sound. ‘Noctian Airgap’ and ‘Anticrime’ return to syncopation and its complex moods, while ‘Subdermal’ and ‘Hypersea’ embrace repetition in service to atmosphere.

Hesaitix - Noctian Airgap

Livet var ingenting mer än en dröm
Livet var ingenting mer än en dröm
Livet var ingenting mer än en dröm
Livet var ingenting mer än en dröm
Livet var ingenting

Winds are blowing with no sound
Everlasting winter all around        	  
Flowers begging for the light
Swordsman wandering in the night

Nothing’s real as it may seem
Sleep tight, life was but a dream

Sorrow’s wearing out my heart
Chased by shadows from the start
Lies prevail, truth to be denied
Swordsman wandering in the night

Nothing’s real as it may seem
Sleep tight, life was but a dream

Lovers hiding under trees
Darkness covers up their sins
Wicked kingdom, there’s no love
Darkness covers up its flaws

Livet var ingenting mer än en dröm
Livet var ingenting mer än en dröm
Livet var ingenting mer än en dröm
Livet var ingenting mer än en dröm
Livet var ingenting
