Taken from SBKT054: Gorgonn - Six Paths
Release date: 31st January

In Japanese Buddhism, it's believed that when someone dies they are ushered down one of six paths depending on the karma accumulated during their previous lives. A being might end up in the world of humans, animals, demigods, or celestials, but it's also possible to end up reborn as a pitiable hungry ghost, doomed to an existence of insatiable desire, or even worse - be sent to hell, or jigoku. Ruled over by the Japanese lord of death Emma-ō, this hell isn't quite like the Christian hell, it's closer to purgatory, and cleansing the karma can take hundreds of millions of years of excruciating torture in extreme cold or immense fire. Japanese bass alchemist Gorgonn takes these themes as the basis of his debut album "Six Paths", assembling a spiritually weighty set of futurist dubs that consider the possibility that our mortal domain might be closer to hell than we realize.

Gorgonn describes himself as a Japalien exile. He left the country of his birth almost two decades ago, and since then has been working tirelessly to formulate Jamaican dub, noise, techno, and no-wave into a sound he calls "sci-fi steppas". If you've not come across his name before, there's a good chance you've heard his reverberations. An established sound tech who's worked with The Bug, Hype Williams, Seefeel and others, he's part of G36 with Kevin Martin, Dokkebi Q with Kiki Hitomi, and a former member of Devilman with DJ Scotch Egg and Bo Ningen's Taigen Kawabe. Just last year he released the acclaimed "Disentegration Dubs" full-length alongside JK Flesh, the veteran producer who's best known for masterminding Godflesh. All this experience blesses Gorgonn's productions with remarkable sonic force, and "Six Paths" is his most crushing display yet, smelting cannonball bass and osmium beats into sharp-edged soundsystem weapons.

Look no further than opener 'Abyss' for evidence of this: psychedelic synths draw the mind away from the mortal realm, while tangled, distorted beats push us back down to earth, our faces crushed into the grit and gravel. Using tweaked sub bass and unsettling drones, Gorgonn lays out a cinematic backdrop for the album, drawing us into a world that's terrifying, viscous, and nauseatingly familiar. There's a militaristic roll to 'Without Beginning and End', a track that juxtaposes spacey halfstep thrusts with death metal distortion, footwork polyrhythms, and unearthly pads that addresses the crushing endlessness of jigoku. On 'Invisible' meanwhile, Gorgonn torches the skeletal remains of D&B, abstracting familiar rhythmic patterns into fuzzy, ritualistic cycles that sound both ancient and humming with prospective technology. But on the closing track 'Life as a Beast', it sounds as if Gorgonn has come to a conclusion, and in a flurry of acid squelches and doomy foghorn bass blasts, he seems to have accepted that being reincarnated as an animal might be the best anyone can hope for. Who knows, you might end up as a cat.

After a year of relative silence with the exception of a self-released track in collaboration with DJ Heroin, the Madrid based producer Loyalty XIX is back with ‘Catrialis’, a 4 track EP where he gives a twist to the conceptual and aesthetic perspective that inspired previous works while maintaining a more sharp than ever praxis of the meticulous sound design and hypnotic drum patterns that define his work.

“Balancing in the axis between the artificially sleek and the organic (im)perfection, Catrialis finds Loyalty XIX on a personal hike to battle his own self. A first and last breath with an armour on.”

Today, we’d like to offer you the last track premiere just before the so longed summer break. On the spotlight is MARTYYNA, a producer / DJ born and currently based in Prague, affiliated with the Blazing Bullets DJs collective, co-founder of the Illegal Taipei research hub and of the cutting-edge KSK events series in the Czech capital. Her debut EP, titled Awaken and developed around the deployment and dissection of traditional Asian instruments such as guzheng and erhu, will see the light on August 10th on the local BCAA system platform.

Already appeared on outcomes such as Eco Futurism Corporation, Unizone, ANBA, and others more with multilayered, textured gems of glitchy ambiance, rusty percussions, and dim melodies, her intimate approach to composition is enriched for the occasion by the use of her own vocals, appearing throughout all the record as the leading component together with the aforementioned deconstruction of string instruments.

In particular, MARTYYNA’s peculiar drive comes from her background as architecture/urbanism professional which led her to spend several years in Taiwan and other far-East regions researching local, illegal, and unofficial housing and the economic forces at play. Her creative outings are somehow suspended between a sense of tidiness and order and the unrestrained desire to create living, breathing sonic entities. The two components show up in a tense exchange where none of the sides prevail, enhancing each other instead.

Mastered by Dominik Gajarský, the EP comes with a neu-grunge cover by Igor Lorok, a visual artist and DJ based in Prague. Also involved with the KSK crew as the author of its graphic identity, his artwork for the EP is the fruit of a close relationship with the producer that brought them working together around the album concept.

As the title suggests, Awaken is a largely experimental work composed of five pieces that are focused on affirmation, inner discovery, acceptance of all the experiences – both painful and cheering – life throws our way, and how we manage to react and embrace them. In the words of Adela Sobotkova aka NEW MAGIC MEDIA, MARTYYNA’s musical approach “works with honestly admitted chaos, positively welcomed coincidence”.

We’re honored to share with you the eponymous album track, the keystone to understanding the whole EP concept, style, and motivations. As strongly introspective as any of the other four pieces, Awaken reminisces about the toxicity of sorrow and the cathartic power of pain, while affirming the courage of vulnerability and the will to manifest ourselves with no refrains. From a musical point of view, the track combines dreamy atmospheres, somber yet steady percussive elements, and layered vocal lines chanting wholehearted lyrics. “When you allow yourself to live your truth and also speak it without fear, then comes the liberating awareness that what doesn’t kill you will actually make you stronger”. Enjoy!

About Let's Collapse

Let’s Collapse is a collaboration EP between Pixelord and Max Dahlhaus in Moscow and Berlin, respectively. The illusion of the global village, which it seems like yesterday’s, collapsed due to the outbreak of covid-19, but none of this can prevent people from contacting each other. This EP shows how the artists feel in it.

Both artists are good at creating cold music, and the collision of ideas has produced many wonderful changes in the results. The whole EP is like a roaring turbo engine, and the huge sound continuously presses our hearts. There is always some strange but beautiful sound between the heavy drums and the rough background noise, when they appear, it will make the listener's scalp tremble like two sharp pieces of metal rubbed in a flash. All these sounds constitute a sci-fi world, and the rich details bring people into endless spaces of imagination. The world is constantly destroyed and rebuilt in the journey of the seven tracks, and the epic ending leaves all this to the unknown.

《Let’s Collapse》由分别位于莫斯科和柏林的Pixelord 和Max Dahlhaus 共同合作完成。恍如昨日的地球村幻景由于疫情的爆发一瞬间崩塌了，但这一切都无法阻止人们相互联系。这张EP展现的就是音乐人在其中的感受。

两位音乐人都善于制作黑暗冷酷的音乐，这次创意之间的碰撞使结果产生了许多奇妙的变化。整张EP就像一台轰鸣的涡轮引擎，声浪持续地压迫着我们的心脏。在厚重的的鼓点与粗糙的背景噪音之间总有一些奇特但又美妙的声音，他们出现时就像两片锐利的金属片擦过一般使听者的头皮一刺。所有这些声音共同构成了一个未来的科幻世界，丰富的细节使人们进入无尽的想象空间。在这七首歌的旅程中，这个世界被不断地毁灭，又被不断地重建，充满史诗感的结尾把这一切留给了未知。
