@sueuga - Conflict Areas EP
[PAYNOMINDTOUS, PNMTU009, out on February 16th, 2024]

Sueuga (she/her) @sueuga is a Mexican artist, DJ, and producer known for her releases on pivotal labels such as NAAFI, Hiedrah, Salviatek, Sacrilejio, Soul Feeder, Arboretum, and Precious Metals among the others. Now based in Amsterdam but raised in Oakland, California where she started her music career by collaborating with artists from the Neoperreo scene, Sueuga has been an important actress in the contemporary scene thanks to her experimental, mutant club outings primarily inspired by industrial music and dominated by unsettling atmospheres, ferocious drums, and abrasive textures. We’re very excited to announce the release of her new “Conflict Areas” EP that will be out on Friday, February 16th.

The 5-tracker opens up with a short and eerie introduction called “Dragged” which indeed abruptly drags the listener into a perilous sound journey composed of explosive rhythmic discharges that also extend to the second and third tracks, the titular “Conflict Areas” and “Heat Therapy”. Thanks to its extensively variegated yet immediately accessible and catchy compositions, Sueuga’s awe-inspiring work manages to summon dark, infernal scenarios while also envisioning bright futures of long-awaited victory, offering a commentary on the existential struggle of unconditionally and wholeheartedly affirming one’s existence in turbulent, oppressive times. With its sense of unavoidable and relentless tension, the entire EP is an act of belligerent resistance in sound form.

The two final tracks host collaborations with the founder of the overmybody.tw label, Taipei-based DJ and producer B E N N @bedoublensound, and Duma’s noise/metal experimental musician Sam Karugu, respectively. While the first one (“Hidden Fees”) indulges into the heavy-hitting, cadenced percussive progressions previously shown in the rest of the EP (and here enriched by deep, bursting basslines and a ghastly melody), the latter (“MMXXIII”) provides a free-form anthem for all the metalheads where rumbling distortion and eerie vocals meet incessant lamentations and gurgling noise in the background.

PAYNOMINDTOUS GUESTMIX#95: Sueuga ["Conflict Areas" EP out on February 16th!]

Listen to "never alone always many" by sortlegeme taken from "they are many" out on 16th February via Barkhausen

Pre-order: https://srtrecs.bandcamp.com/album/they-are-many

Following acclaimed underground releases on labels like Schacke’s imprint Moral Defeat, Katharsis and Perfect Aesthetics, Danish electronic musician Sortlegeme (the solo moniker of Jeppe Dalsgaard Andersen) returns with his most spellbinding work to date. “They Are Many” is an album of sprawling textures that like music in its most intuitive state captures the essence of the indescribable.

Built from polyrhythmic synth lines that surge towards sensory overload, “They Are Many” is equally full of subtle layers that emerge delicately from the foundations. In this ever-evolving sonic landscape, one senses the earthly, deliberate movements of tectonic plates colliding before settling into yet another million years of relentless grind. It's a soundscape that teeters on the edge of a total breaking point: a beautifully ominous foreshadowing of collapse.

Andersen reflects: “I was playing Starcraft at the time I made this music, and I think the Zerg was an inspiration and model for this kind of life. I was thinking about creeping and crawling things. The album reflects on the world humans might leave behind in our self-destruction and how opportunistic species might thrive in our absence, like weeds sprouting from the ashes of a forest fire. I was always big on post-rock, and this setup allowed me to do big buildups in that style.”

With “They Are Many,” Andersen fully embraces a departure from any rhythmic constraints in his music, allowing for expansive exploration throughout the album. While hope – or what is left of it – might seem sparse in the album's 45-minute journey, the music is punctuated by beautiful, voice-like melodies that are eventually overwhelmed by a noisy climax, leading to a profound numbness. The sensation is akin to synthesizers forging their way towards the void.

Andersen: “We as humans are often consumed by our knowledge, ethics, and complex systems, but sometimes it's important to remember that life's origin is pure survival. Our present culture is overly intellectual, and I find myself drawn to the instinctive, opportunistic aspects of life, much like a hive of smaller organisms operates, without conscious thought. We tend to view everything from our individualistic, single-body perspective, forgetting that the world's very essence is multiplicity.”

The Pinkxbrains Show - Subtle Radio - 06/02/2024

Taken from SBKT062: Sote - Ministry of Tall Tales

Limited LP + digital
Release date: 29th February 2024

For our first album release of 2024, we are excited and honored to welcome Sote to the SVBKVLT family with ‘Ministry of Tall Tales’

Ata Ebtekar, better known as Sote, is an electronic music composer and sound artist based in Tehran, Iran. His wide-ranging love of rich sounds and textures is embodied in diverse paths such as hardcore club sounds, collaborations that straddle (traditional) acoustic and electronic instrumentation, and solo experimental electronics – making Ebtekar equally at home in concert halls, galleries, or clubs. Over the last three decades, he has released on labels such as Warp, Sub Rosa, Morphine, Diagonal, and Opal Tapes.

‘Ministry of Tall Tales’ is an electronic music composition that reflects on hyperbolic orchestrations of political and social current affairs.

In this work, notions such as misinformation/disinformation, biased mental states, bigotry, dogma and ultimately corruption are brainchild of the composer in order to achieve a sonic spirit in abstract form.

Ludicrous and distorted human behaviors are told by magnifying musical intervals and entering the spaces in-between, and simultaneously dramatizing subtle microtonal motifs, ultra-fine polyrhythmic, polymetric and polytempic pitched patterns assemble the skeleton of an engine symbolizing various systems.

The configuration and framework of this mechanism represents both harmonious and non-harmonious aspects in society. Rearranging and coloring components of tradition, neglecting moral codes, and separating ingredients of rituals to showcase humankind’s failures and accomplishments.

The composer has been experiencing an immense amount of frustration, anger, confusion, helplessness and fear because of what has been happening in his surroundings and the sociopolitical system. Consequently, the music is contemplations on corruption, oppression and murder.

“Ministry Of Tall Tales” is an all-synthesis based work, dark and melodic with a noise aesthetic.

Preorder

Sote - Kangaroo Court

Brussels' wunderkind Kiche releases his first EP on MONTAGE! The 5-track piece of bliss discovers the formal rules of a ceremony. Through his signature sound of staccato digitalis -or bleeps and bloops in laymans terms- Kiche envelops us in the gestures necessary to perform a function. One has to come on time, wear appropriate attire and behave in the proper manner if one wants to keep their social standing. Do you wear a tuxedo to the club?
Throughout its length, Kiche's ceremony EP envelops us in synthblasts that sound like they could echo from an altar, but there is always a sense of cheeky fun peaking around the corner. In centerfold, little arpeggios sway in and out as a group of lovers playing at the back of the dance. Try to think of this music next time you're putting on your formal attire.

Kiche - centerfold (flashforward to the way home stumbling upon two critters who bust a freestyle)

We are very excited to welcome Klahrk to the fold on ACEN059. The London-based artist & founder of Ware Collective follows up releases with the likes of Activia Benz, Genot Centre and SFX. On the Z2 EP, he delivers four atmospheric slow-fast club cuts, exploring the lowest depths of the frequency spectrum.

Shelter proudly presents: Mizgîn, a leviathan compilation of 18 tracks by 21 artists presiding on the cutting edge of electronic music. 

As we find ourselves in the eye of the storm during the most deteriorated epoch in modern history, Mizgîn, meaning "good news" in Kurdish, was motivated by the desire to offer respite from the horrors of the world. Shelter's ambition to unite different regional music scenes has once again brought together artists from nearly every continent, with contributions from legendary names.

This compilation is dedicated to everyone struggling towards the liberation of the oppressed.

Brodinski - Thirty Two

Taken from SBKT064: sideproject - sourcepond
Release date: 30th May 2024

Following up from work on Björk´s 'Fossora', Icelandic trio 'sideproject' debut on SVBKVLT with their new full-length album 'sourcepond'. Taking influence from the fog-covered wetlands of their native island, sideproject transfigure influences from the low-end frequencies of grime and bass music, and reshape it into a haze of transient-smeared beats accompanied by breathy synths that grow ever wetter till they slip beneath the surface tensions of their harmonic stratum. Compared to previous output, 'sourcepond' opts for a more concise approach to their music, stacking up their influences of experimental electronic, Icelandic punk and contemporary club music, and builds a sound that oscillates between melodic hooks and experimental rhythms. Each track carves through the sensuous material, pulling the listener into the dank sourcepond as though magnetic forces were guiding a bird's beak towards misty horizons.

Out now - https://displayseries.bandcamp.com/album/027-028-burning-pyre-kid-smpl

DISPLAY’s first split tape release of 2024 features two pieces by the artist Burning Pyre: one solo and one in collaboration with the label’s founder, Kid Smpl.

The release begins with the nearly 18 minute long solo track “Healthcare.” A meditative piece that mutates from washed out dronescapes to crystal clear synth constructions all emblematic of the artist’s pensive and imaginative style. On the B-Side we find “Peradam” a shimmering, snow-blinded collaboration that highlights both of the artists’ melodic sensibilities.
