"The influence and presence of trap and rap in dance/experimental is obviously massive, and the lines between genres are more blurred than ever. HAJJ, however, says this is a recent thing; “I find that the electronic scene in France is just starting to encourage the integration of this culture. Not so long ago people insulted me when I played rap/trap in my sets.”

The underpinning idea for this compilation brought electronic producers not explicitly of that world to unpick whatever boundaries remain and contribute tracks for a mixtape – while a few of the artists are more obviously ready to “play the game” and already make music which exists pretty close to this horizon, this has been a challenge to think creatively for a few of the other artists invited."

Marina Herlop - miu
Label: PAN
Cat.No. PAN 128S
Format: DL
Release Date: 10 September 2021
Purchase: pan.lnk.to/miu
Video: https://bit.ly/3k1RoJD

Barcelona-based artist Marina Herlop joins PAN with a striking new single, titled "miu". The artist invites the listener to step into her otherworldly dreamscape and in turn go down a sonic rabbit hole into her garden of forking paths. Resisting attempts to interpret her work, Marina Herlop prefers to create open worlds which nourish and stimulate the imagination. Experimenting freely with konnakol syllables and carnatic rhythms harnessing the processed human voice and electronics, "miu" can be treated as a black box or cenobitic toy which the listener can project their desires and dreams onto.

Composed, produced and recorded by Marina Herlop

This song is called The Dawn of Everything.

It was born between unlearning the past and watching the future unfold.

It is dedicated to the people of Iran and their bravery in rising up after the murder of Jina Amini.

A song for the tremors that rise when a new life starts to feel possible against all odds — Jin Jiyan Azadi.

lyrics
There is a trail
At the beginning
At the dawn of everything

A long lonely time
Under the dust of combat
Life itself is in exile

There is a trail
At the beginning
At the dawn of everything

There's a lone whistler
And others you can't see

She summons them
They pour down from the mountain

Oh the wind the wind is blowing
Through the graves the wind is blowing
Freedom soon will come

There is a trail
At the beginning
At the dawn of everything

Artist: @benfikaa
Album: Ruinas
Release Date: June 26, 2020
Format: Digital

Carlos Marta is the Tijuana-based producer behind Benfika, an enigmatic music project from Infinite Machine that released his debut on the imprint back in 2015 with the EP 121214, taking him to open for Four Tet, Ben Ufo and play at Mutek festival in Mexico. In his most recent comeback Ruinas, he presents a mystical and ethereal release where he unveils his most overwhelming and rousing side with 5 absorbing and captivating tracks.

Ruinas is an eerie exploration on organic, celestial and crystalline sounds. A set of compositions effused in a synthetic and futuristic orchestral experience that incites cathartic sensations. The warm and meticulously put-together melodies of the 5 pieces that compose this EP generates a utopian sonic environment with otherworldly and mystical backgrounds.

Influenced by the powerful narrative components in Benfika’s production, Ruinas summons the memories and resilience of another dimension, where mythical surroundings emerge with arcane possibilities. Cyclic imaginaries of ancestral yet futuristic references collide in a dialogue between mixed dualities; pain and healing, desolation and disclosure, uncertainty and hope, evoking the feeling of an ongoing transformation.

The carefully processing on the melodies, samples and tonalities that Benfika meticulously assembled in 
Ruinas don’t follow an accurate musical structure but were rather conceived as a living sonic-ecosystems, dissolving in complex layers of aerial ambiences.

In Exodexo the delicate harmonies of otherworldly frequencies resonate like an alien whisper while the gathering of synthetic voices in Pentimento creates a sacred invitation for a futuristic ritual. The deep and trance-indulging sonorities of Mundo Schizo crash with a percussive field of disruption, and the uncanny atmospheres of Ríos de Azoth dissolves for the unearthly vibes of Ollín, where overwhelming choruses and dislocated pianos mutate in immaculate melodies.

Ruinas It’s a promise of a new beginning, where devotional possibilities can coexist with the inherent chaos of spirituality. It is music created from a wide perception of entropy and the prospect of becoming-with transmutation. A reprogramming of the organic existence for unphysical transcendence.

Rituals that stream violently
through infinite cracks in time
generational chants stored in the abyss
reveal intrinsic shadows coded into every seed.

Benfika - Exodexo (IM078)

Haunter Records is proud to present Left My Brain @ Can Paixano (La Xampanyeria) OST. A project five years in the making, dotted by contributions from dear friends Asaël Robitaille, v1984 and Marie Davidson; it is Osborne-Lanthier’s most ambitious work to date and, in many ways, an elegiac record. Largely composed and produced in the shadow of his mother’s passing, it also contains an another sort of elegy: to a infamous Barcelona restaurant that functioned as a daily stop for Osborne-Lanthier during a stay in Catalunya. It was in the midst of  that trip that he started adding sardonic, deranged experiments to his then-overtly serious, academic work. After his mother’s passing in 2016, nostalgia drove him to revisit a body of old recordings where he discovered something new: the sarcasm, self-effacing humour and proficient technicality he’d found so funny originally was now just a mask for insecurity and sadness. He set out to rework those recordings, reprocessing them over and over until their structures completely changed, until they’d gained such texture and depth they were no longer recognizable.
 
The music’s journey construes a multi-layered story, one only he can tell. The record smacks with a wet nostalgia that soaks into the concrete dryness of Osborne-Lanthier’s sound design, maintains a taste for intensity as a tool for immersive engagement. There’s a widescreen romanticism to these compositions, reminiscent of a vivid dream: the tracks are tactile and elastic, morphing rapidly from uncanny-valley EDM tropes to vast, sweeping expanses of sincere choral synths. Osborne-Lanthier sees the album as something of a concept cemetery; an overgrown plot that slowly filled to the brim with dead ideas; a mycelial network of thoughts and plans that never came true. The fruiting body of a fungus born from the nutrients of dead plants: an opus born from trash. 
 
For all of its absurd alien beauty, this is as much a record about being a musician as it is a record about making fun of music: as much an expert-level exploration of technical chops as it is an assault on the stupidity of technicality. Beautiful film-like ambient passages flow directly into weapons-grade riffs, fluid whirlpools drain into chattering synths and shrieking frequency envelopes. Ugliness and immaturity are not only preserved but elevated. The result is Osborne-Lanthier’s most finely-honed record to date — a reflection of what it is to be human: divinely uncategorizable.

Composed between 2015 and 2020 in Montreal, New York, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Milan, Tokyo, Stockholm, Osaka and Shanghai by Jesse Osborne-Lanthier.
Produced in Montreal by Jesse Osborne-Lanthier.
