Based in Helsinki, Finland, the cross-disciplinary platform and record label World Canvas is a hub that has been hosting over the last couple of years serious waves of experimental music in the form of conceptual post-club, glitching ambiance, and disrupted emotionalism. On their catalog have appeared cutting-edge musicians such as luxxuryproblems, Helena Pulkkinen, and Comastasis, while the visual identity is entrusted to the stunning skills and creativity of Gabriel Boicel, World Canvas' co-founder together with Jussi Hertz.

Describing themselves as a place for "unconfined expressions of emotions", and as a "blank surface open to fictional fantasies and outcries of yearning", the collective will be releasing the second installment in the various-artist compilation series called Lost Memory, due Friday, May 28th in digital format. The release will collect contributions from eleven artists with different backgrounds (Keiska and Madrid's Concrete Fantasies among them) who have been tasked with developing compositions around their interpretation of the concepts of escapism and fantasy.

Today, we're happy to share with you an excerpt from the upcoming Lost Memory 02, namely the track titled ♂♀ by the Helsinki-based artist Daniil Mantere aka @exmantera (they/them), who previously released on World Canvas a two-track single called REGEN, contributed to the latest Audio Bambino's compilation, and is also half of the NAIVE META duo. The song is an exceptional compendium of the latest laptop electronics artistic solutions used by inspired sound designers from the underground digital community, developed around distorted synth stabs and metallic percussions and bundled with an eerie and abrasive melody.

The piece, available on our Soundcloud portal, comes with a video clip by Elli Norrlin that enriches the audio component with a visual commentary which adds feelings of desolation and desperation to an already dark emotional setting, shaken by gargling sounds panning through the ears, glitching artifacts, and corrosive wailing. ♂♀ is a black soundtrack for unexplored, repressed memories that leaves space for a suddenly relaxed ending providing the listener an ephemeral glimpse of serenity. Maybe, just at the very end, something good can survive.

Mermaid & Seafruit is the Vienna-based duo composed of the Polish artist, performer, and singer Magdalena Chowaniec and the Austrian producer, DJ, and artist Markus Steinkellner. Started in early 2015, their project has been focused on the interaction between a multitude of electronic music styles such as hardcore techno, grime, noise, and many more, with vocal-oriented genres like hip hop, r&b, and spoken word - all wrapped up in adrenaline-driven, raw-energy instances reproducing the thrill of the live music act.

Their latest effort is the 7-track album called Screens Are My New Clothes, out on 29th July 2021 on the local label Ashida Park. So far the most articulate outing in their artistic journey, the record collects various inputs the duo have been meddling with over the last 6 years in the shape of scorching, impactful tunes that will surely make it hard for you to keep on the chair.

Indebted with performance art, and well-established in the contemporary Viennese music scene, Mermaid & Seafruit use their visceral take on musical hybridization as if their life depended on it, with stunning results indeed. In their record, devastating hardcore kickdrums meet as effortlessly as air with ethereal, auto-tuned vocals; super-saw, hardstyle-inspired synths offer the perfect framework for abrupt, skramz-like screams; and obsessive, eerie trance melodies appear to be just the perfect scenario where to place dissonant rhythmic experiments.

Since the beginning, M & S's productions have also been offering a straightforward, unapologetic commentary on contemporary, late-stage capitalist society and the pandemic oppression that burdens our bodies, our emotional and mental well-being, and closes off our chances at a bright future. To this end, and more than ever with Screens Are My New Clothes, Magdalena and Markus' music provides a series of outstanding musical stimuli that work as an outlet to express unspoken feelings and unmanifested energy. A poignant, sore call to action: let's redirect our rage, let's weaponize our anger.

Via the SoundCloud player above, you can now stream the opening, eponymous track of the Screens Are My New Clothes release, the 22nd on the Viennese platform, mastered by Adam Matej and coming with album artwork by Magdalena Fischer and Magdalena Chowaniec herself. In the composition, the ferocious, on-top-of-the-lungs vocals by Magdalena moves upon loud vs soft dynamics obtained via the juxtaposition of distorted kicks and massive rave synths.

Julia Louise KnifeFist is a 22-yo producer and lyricist based in Dublin, Ireland which has been active since the late 2010s. Their music is a dense, noise-imbued manipulation of dance music styles that are beaten to a pulp to form bloody pools of distorted kicks, overwhelming feedback, and truculent vocals. In the recent past, they started investing effort into the newborn, thriving Irish collective called Bitten Twice, focused on promoting experimental rave outputs and unconventional sounds. When it comes to their solo work, JLK is reportedly out to turn the listener's insides on the outside, and they do that via an exciting mixture of genres taking shape in something that could be aptly referred to as "rave rap", as nicely demonstrated in their first live appearance https://youtu.be/uYI-rjVlV7I.

Late last year, JLK's path met with the Ghent-based record label lieftuig, closely related to the Belgian Grid crew, on which young artists such as Moses, Neocitrus, and Knechtjong already appeared over the course of the past months. INERTIA EP is the final outing stemming from the encounter and the following interactions between the two parts: a four-tracker record, spanning just a little over 11 minutes, where JLK's harsh vocal style and energetic production skills join with the vision of three other producers (namely Circular Square, who also curated the mastering of the release, and the aforementioned Neocitrus and Knechtjong).

With INERTIA EP, JLK's variegated and unrestrained creative drive, already crystallized in previous singles such as 328, Synthetic Drip, and Bite Marks, brought them to the next level of inspiration, where chaos is unleashed by means of high-spirited, inflamed compositions, and catharsis is reached via entrancing rhythms. Today, we're glad to be premiering the second track in the lotto, called Pixelated Dreams, and produced by Circular Square who also curated the video clip due next month together with Aisling Phelan.

When asked about the track, JLK refers that Pixelated Dreams is a "frustrated response to the idea of digitizing the human experience", as they believe "many parts of the experience can’t be recreated, and the advancement of technology in this way feels absurd when unsustainable structures might make the planet uninhabitable and any human experience impossible". Inspired by early dubstep and grime, the piece is a 150-second impressive run on which the bassline and the syncopated drums intertwine with the vocals, chanting detached lyrics that reflect on the feelings of rage, isolation, and disconnection ("Feeling Love and disgust / Spit and dirt in an open cut / Thousand miles between my blade and they neck / I’m dying to connect / All I see is pixelated dreams"). We're sure you'll be thrilled to stream the track via the player here below, as well as the entire EP that will be out on August 6th. Enjoy!

Hyperlink is an experimental French label and mix series established around one year ago, focused mainly on club-oriented contemporary electronic music. After the first various artist compilation lilywhite, whose proceeds went to the charity helping women in distress called La Fédération Nationale Solidarité Femmes, the label is back with its second release, a mini digital comp called link001 which gathers six artists from all around the world.

Reportedly pondering on the possible post-pandemic scenarios that could open in the music industry and how they will affect the underground community on pivotal questions such as social equity, diversity, and inclusion, Hyperlink will try, through this record series, to pave the road for international collaborations between emerging producers and graphic artists, resulting in special works of art.

Curated by label founder and Internet Public Radio resident F̷a̷n̷n̷y̷  and mastered by Ytem, link001 will be out in digital format on September the 24th (the pre-order is already up on Bandcamp at this link). The release collects contributions from artists with different backgrounds and styles, namely Sprælle, Aeoi, KAVARI, Tristan, KARLFROYE, and Yikii. Our focus today will be on the last artist on the list, as we're pleased to be curating the premiere of the track called The Necromorph 屍變體, coming on the fourth position on the comp's tracklist.

Based in China, Yikii is a singer, poet, artist, and music producer who is not bound by any tag genre or style, as she has been consistently meddling with somber piano music, ethereal vocal dirges, cutting-edge sound design, distorted hardcore kick drums, and much more. Her peculiar take on electronic music has been already featured on important labels such as Genome6.66Mbp, Quantum Natives, Unseelie, and Danse Noire, and many more, always showcasing a sleek dichotomy between nightmarish atmospheres and grandiose explosions of energy.

In The Necromorph 屍變體, one can find Yikii at her finest moment of inspiration: destructive obscurity meets with blinding redemption; eerie melodies are enclosed in rhythmic, ruthless parades of distortion; sounds are enveloped in a highly cinematic framework where the listener's always kept on edge, their tension and anticipation toyed with by an inspired artist who can let on to infantile impulses as well as grown-up damnation.

The Peruvian Sacrilejio Records, based in Lima, surfaced on the digital worldwide underground scene in late 2020 with the debut v/a compilation called Expiation, a remarkable selection of state-of-the-art club music tracks with Latin influences by artists such as WULFFLUW XCIV, Bungalovv, Wrack, Syntrovert, Shyqa, and many more. Reportedly, the label set out to support club sounds from the Global South decrypting and blending Latinx hauntology and contemporary electronic music deconstruction.

The futuristic framework in which Sacrilejio moves allows them to incorporate variegated, deterritorialized influenced into their research around the interaction between local, traditional rhythmic figures and the worldwide electronic music vanguard. Their second outing on their path is represented by the Coffin Sounds EP, produced by the Portuguese producer and DJ Mesqit, coming with artwork by the stunning Russian musician and visual artist Digitonica and mastering by Alexis Cotrina.

Based in Porto, Mesqit started releasing music back in 2017 with the self-released Concord EP, all the way to his latest Human Feelings release out on February 2021. His focus has always been on the hybridization of different musical traditions, from Jamaican dub to middle eastern strings. On this occasion, the producer set out to showcase genres such as reggaeton, baile funk, and the so-called techrreo style, by means of an investigation into the texts of ancient Egyptian coffin effigies.

Releasing on September 23, the five tracks focus on a young man whose story begins with their premature demise, and then goes through the mummification process, until finally culminating with the rebirth they've been yearning for. From a musical point of view, the outcome is a lively ensemble of rhythms, instruments, and manipulated samples that well translates the tales of a perilous journey into different moods and settings.

Also, to complement the original compositions, two remixes of the closing track Rebirth have been included, one by the UK artist Galtier, and the other by the Tormenta-affiliated hardcore DJ and producer FKOFF1963. Today, we're indeed happy to exclusively premiere the rework by the latter: the Brazilian artist delivers one of the usual club bangers we've become accustomed to thanks to years of over-the-top explorations into hardcore genres, adding the final, energetic touch to a piece of already eventful music. Enjoy!

Club Late Music is an open-source and collaborative music label born between Paris and London in the mid-2010s. Since then, the platform brought forward a large community of artists called Global URL Nation working on the basis of shared knowledge and creativity to craft experimental club music and multimedia works.

Specifically, GUN resorts to multiple media and formats from contemporary digital culture and music to experiment with decentralization in the form of v/a compilations, art exhibits, audiovisual projects, and collaborative efforts. To this last category belongs the GUN UNITED series, where a given member (or members) of the community manages to join forces with artists of their choice. The latest installment, the third, is now coming in form of a digital EP almost exactly one year after the previous episode courtesy of the Italian sound artist P I T.

Called Senti/Mental Illness, the record is curated by the producer and DJ Mattia Cremonini aka HeedLess, who authors a very rich blend of bass music (UK grime mostly), industrial, dark ambient, and heavy rhythmic components already appeared on labels such as Wile Out, katharsis, Classical Trax, and many more. The 4-track release, out next Wednesday, March 9th, comes with cover and visual works by chaggrin and mastering by Lorenzo Targhetta. Other than the opening solo track, the work also gathers collaborations with the Slovakian DJ GÄP, the Australian DJ / producer Lithe, and the musician POL100 born and based in Ferrara, Italy.

The collaborative record reflects around relationship breakups and the hardcore feelings associated with them - also reflected in the tracks' titles - such as despair, profound nostalgia, and the burning sense of courage and hope that may come with new bonds being born from the ashes. The heartfelt work brings the contribution of the aforementioned artists, each carrying their load of past experiences, artistic inspiration, and creative energy materialized in compositions of hyper-melodic textures, distorted vocals, and tight progressions.

Today, we're glad to be premiering the remarkable closing piece of the EP, titled BROKEUP, and produced by HeedLess and POL100. The exactly 5-minutes-long track is a dramatic charge of snappy breakbeats, eerie and distorted melodies, and distant, unintelligible voices figuratively emerging from the recesses of one's memory to bring forward unease and pain. It's up to the listener whether to welcome and overcome them towards closure and acceptance, or rather drown in the sorrow and descend on dark paths. Both choices are equally viable.

Hi! Thanks to my fans & soundcloud for helping me get my login back so quickly. I wanted to post something now that it's back in my hands. Here's a cover of ~Voices Carry~. I've played it live a few times this year. It's always been one of my favorite songs but it's kind of deeply personal to me,lyrically. I recorded this in one day when a engineer had a room at Sunset Sound available.He let me use the studio for free as a favor, some of my friends came in and played the bass/guitar/drums for me after calling them 45 minutes before asking if they could try playing random stuff for me to work with/write on. Nobody has produced it (except me... I guess but this version isn't produced or mixed.It also doesn't have the synths & guitars I added today. I am out of the country so my computer keeps crashing.)I didn't want to wait until I was back to upload something. I have no idea what this sounds like in speakers either lol. This is what I call the infant demo because it's basically the scratch demo since it hasn't really been worked on & what not. It's also the only thing I can post without getting in trouble by other people involved on other songs.I promise I will be posting a lot more stuff on here & will let you know more about my album. I always feel a lot more comfortable sharing music related things here instead of Instagram etc 
thanks for the support 


I will give you one hint about one of my first two singles:

"A mythology of bewinged souls, protecting and defending our realms.
Archangels falling as freezing rain, in their struggles with themselves.
Saving the soul from sin and fear, cleansing away your inner disgusts.
Your spirit is ripe for the second coming, tribulation is close at hand.
The Deluge is coming and who will be saved, what becomes of Angelic Hostility."

DJ Lostboi & Torus - The Flash

sitequeeste.bandcamp.com/album/the-flash
Available 24 January 2020 on LP and digital platforms.

Following 2019’s hibernation, Queeste reappears with the mnestic soundscapes of DJ Lostboi and Torus’ split album The Flash. Across eight gossamer evocations—four from each artist—the duo reflect on individual journeys from airport to sea during the blissful embers of fading summer. Their gaze expands and contracts naturally with passing locations but lingers on the titular flash, what the two artists describe as “the rare sight of the sun giving off a bright green lightburst into the horizon.”

Made up of sounds sourced and appropriated from these commutes—pop music heard on the radio, jumbled street recordings, and everyday technological objects—The Flash evokes the melancholic pull of such recollections without ever succumbing to nostalgia. The moments eked from these samples stretch into quiet eternity—still and suspended—while retaining their quotidian, terrestrial qualities.

DJ Lostboi successfully refines the warped atmospherics heard on his previous edits of pop, rap, and emo. First track ‘Open World’ welcomes listeners with lapping waves and plaintive wavering tones—like a glittering video game environment—until real life interrupts on ‘Ordinary People’ as an automated answer phone message: an unknown voice lets out a weary sigh. Its foggy pianos and soft vocals offer melody and buoyancy where ‘LB 100’ circles on moody, dream-like pads. We follow the artist’s oceanic voyage to its culminating trance-like shimmers which dissolve into cool water: reflective, endless, yet ultimately hopeful.

Netherlands-based Torus foregoes the dancefloor dynamics of 2016’s Engine Malfunction for a series of calmer, cloudless drifts. On ‘Enter The Sun’—a sparse, yearning composition—washes of noise and clipped auto-tuned vocals pulse over a haunting refrain until ‘Pier’ arrives with whirring engines, sweet birdsong, and decaying synths. The album’s lightest piece comes with the skipping ‘Radiate 540’—euphoric dance minus the kick—which rises from a muffled human interaction until slow motion cinematics signal the trip’s end: ‘Arrival’ collapses into the sea elegantly mirroring DJ Lostboi’s final track.

Despite its hushed ambience, The Flash is an album committed to forward momentum. Each composition reveals a discrete chapter of DJ Lostboi and Torus’ journey building to a moment of bittersweet ascension. The results of such heartfelt wandering recall the spatial dynamics of The KLF’s zoned post-rave landscapes but these works flicker with thoroughly modern paraphernalia and emotions.

"+244" EP, taken from the country code of Angola, is an ode to my teenager years spent in a fast paced city of Luanda. Marked by blasting kuduro beats resonating in the streets of the capital, streets biker gang pulling up to schools to solve occasional drama by being “diplomatic”, batidas being shared between peers on a daily basis, when the seed of sound signature of today were planted. 

It’s about linking up with artists like @brodinskiofficial that share same motivation in pushing sonic boundaries by merging styles. Mutant genre of music. Often lazily put under the category of “Grime” music by the western writers. 

For the culture and nothing else.
