Remember Chinese Whispers, Stille Post or Rikkinäinen Puhelin? That children’s game, known all over the world, that illustrates the difficulties of transmitting information, but which also reveals the creativity of discontinuous conversation? It feels like the Patterns of Perception and @awalkingcontradiction collectives have been in such a conversation for the past years across a multitude of label nights, private hangouts, and shared festival experiences.

Based in Basel, Switzerland but unhinged from national contexts, A Walking Contradiction is a label for music and research. Curated by @varuna4053, @lemont-eana and Dead Electronic Space Limited (@ltd_dead), the collective share a penchant for beats - broken and straight - yet can't help but churn out music for the quiet hours. A deeply reflective group, you’ll find snippets of their conversations on social, political, economic, and environmental issues hidden in sounds or in plain sight on the sleeves of their records.

Compiled entirely from new and unreleased material, their Patterns of Perception 102 is but the latest product of interlocutions and whispers between Basel, Berlin, Helsinki and the world in general, paying tribute to the significance of community where the legitimacy of commons is increasingly impugned. 
Levitating within a field of sophisticated textures and percussion, this set burns slowly, but with a luminescent intensity. Angular experimental ambience builds into winding, complex rhythms. Inspired minds elevate delicate melancholia into a true sense of hope.

Jacopo Lattanzio aka JLTZ is a producer born in Rome in the early nineties.

Music has been his shelter since boyhood, starting with hip-hop and then moving on to electronic music.

It has become a channel to connect his emotions to the outer world developing a sensibility which changed his approach to life.

Music is the source of inspiration which influences his thoughts and actions, an abstract alternative to pragmatic reality.

This instinctive call has pushed him to find the right creative spirit to live his relationship with music more intensely.

The tendencies that have influenced him artistically were the “new” house of the early 2000s and the rise of the plastic-like minimal which has approached him more and more to club culture and its various shades.

His infinite passion and determined research of new sounds have driven him finally to the world of techno through which he discovers the deepest and the most expressive essence of his art.

At the age of twenty, he had his first experiences in the studio: this is where his massive and obscure painted sound takes shape, characterized by dark and detailed settings.
