The Sydney-based DJ and producer Ryan O'Rourke aka Obelisk (he/him) is an emerging name in the Australian contemporary underground club scene as an organizer of the experimental dance event series Nexus (instagram.com/nexus.eora/) and as an artist, holding releases on local compilations (@deep-scan-radio and @meganesia), and showcasing performances as both a solo artist and with the Winged Mantis duo, alongside Sydney-based DJ @index-exe. The work of Obelisk focuses on the interaction between heavy laptop electronic music and jungle/breakcore influences, mediated by a taste for raw aggressiveness and emotional grandeur that have been arranged in his debut release “Meta Bliss”, out on December 28th on our platform.

Composed of three original tracks, the release collects sharp, crystalline, and bursting compositions that feature fast and broken rhythms brilliantly juxtaposed with disfigured synths. While often indulging in the belligerent fury of knife-sharp percussions and booming distortion, the EP often crosses into spacious, euphoric melodies accompanied by frantic but cathartic, tempo-shifting drum work. Obelisk’s goal has been to investigate various ways of experiencing ecstasy and euphoria, whether by means of extreme, overwhelming rhythmic aggression, or breathtaking melodic refrains. While going through the 20-minute EP, one is brought to witness a daring descent into rush. “Meta Bliss” is the heavily cinematic sound commentary to some fast-paced, epic-scale, high fantasy encounter with angel-shaped, all-powerful beings of light under an immaculate sky.

Meta Bliss EP is completed by two remixes by the Sydney-based musician, producer, and DJ Ptwiggs (she/her) @ptwiggs and the Perth-based producer and DJ SUS1ER (he/him) @sus1er. Ptwiggs provides additional tones of darkness to “Illidan Bass” by crafting a 170 BPM deep drum and bass rework rich with clangy breakbeats, and diving deep into the obscurity of the industrial bassline. On the other hand, SUS1ER delivers the perfect closure to the release by re-arranging the opening track “Echoburst” into a 178 BPM hardcore anthem that preserves the emotional impact of the original all the way through the rawstyle finale.

Tracks 1-3 produced and mixed by Obelisk. Track 4 produced, mixed, and mastered by Ptwiggs. Track 5 produced and mixed by Sus1er. Track 1-3, 5 mastered by @wimdehaen. Artwork by K095C [instagram.com/k095c/]

Obelisk - Brokenblade

Time is eating us away from the inside, and the simple fact that people exist around us affects us deeply. We are all emotionally fragile. 
Love is the reason, as it is where all of our memories are rooted. 
Happiness, tenderness, anxiety, hatred or violence, whatever happens, don't forget one thing: it's in the most difficult and most painful moments that we must feel the most alive.

Listen to "In Between Car Parts" by Bungalovv taken from Bungalovv / Lujiachi "Apex Union" split EP released as collaboration between Club Late Music & Over My Body on 7th February.

Pre-order: https://clublatemusic.bandcamp.com/album/apex-union-split-01-x-over-my-body

Club Late Music & Over My Body team up for a joint release! Welcome Apex Union, a split EP featuring Bungalovv & Lujiachi with remixes by B E N N, Dj Animebby, DJ Würm & jondu.

The release initiates the new CLM collaborative series called SPLIT - a simple format where one member from the Global URL Nation shares an EP with an artist from another label or collective, and also marks the first official collaboration of young Taiwan-based Over My Body with another label! This joint collab is pretty straightforward : two artists, two tracks each and remixes by members of both collectives. 

Over the past few years, Bungalovv and Lujiachi have affirmed and cultivated unique sonic palettes that seduced local and international scenes alike. Their encounter on Apex Union initiates a dialog, a weaving of their extended footprints where throbbing basses intertwine with piercing noises, sharp percussions and spiraling voices - resulting in four tracks that will shred, tear and enchant the firmest minds and the stiffest bodies.

The original tracks are reinterpreted by B E N N & jondu from the Over My Body roster, as well as Dj Würm and Dj Animebby from the GUN community, extracting the core essence of the originals to infuse them with raw flavors, that will perfectly soundtrack the haziest cave raves and bleakest winter nightwalks.

[Premiere] Bungalovv - In Between Car Parts (Club Late Music & Over My Body)

‘Mixtape_01’ is the debut drop from Vienna-based ssolve, and a low key hit of the reset button on a range of electronic musics. Reconstituting strewn sounds from club nights and noise gigs, ssolve’s fresh sound takes in liberated dark beats from gqom, kaleidoscopic neoperro, along with guttural industrial throbs (and screams). ssolve moulds these pieces into a fresh little world of heady glocalised bass, beats, and bombast. Behind the mixtape’s sounds lie years of experience ghost-writing, producing, and sound-designing for a range of projects.

Finally let loose, unconstrained, ssolve’s tentacles blossom across cinematic granules of thudding light on ‘Ultra Forever’, sculpt an intimate ambient prayer on ‘Waves’, or slice samples into visceral dancefloor-ready riddims on ‘RYTM F’, ‘RYTM C’, and ‘RYTM D’.

Born in Germany, ‘89 to a Namibian/German Household, ssolve has lived in Vienna for over a decade. ‘mixtape_01’ was co-created with Enesi M., Ragnheiður Erla Björnsdóttir, and Ernst Lima.

RYTM F

Genre tags. How outdated, how limiting. In our everything-all-at-once media landscape, dull catch-all terms like 'dance' are no longer useful for artists and archivists hoping to describe music that spills and oozes out of any box you try to force it into.

As a test case, take At Her Open Door, aka Taiki Kobayashi, an artist who crosses dubstep, experimental, IDM, rave, trance, gabber, noise, and 80s synthwave. For his new EP 𝙀𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙮 𝙀𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙚𝙨, he says his productions give form to the sound he wants to hear, a sound that fuses conflicting emotions and expressions.

Perhaps 30 seconds or so into 𝘈𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘳 you think you've got his number, nodding along to the complex uplifting trance chords. But then comes the noise, the glitches, the distortion, the ultrachaos.

Or how about 𝘔𝘶𝘭𝘴, which begins with metallic phrases that seem predictably grime-adjacent, before suddenly switching up into a hard trance untz-athon.

Finally, 𝘠𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘴 is a violent hypercontemporary glitched-out deconstructed club track that's also a nostalgic hoover-driven rave anthem. You can read that again if you need to.

So any ideas for how to categorise this would be much appreciated. Leave your answers in the comments. Please like and subscribe.
