Following up releases for labels such as angoisse and Jerome, Warsaw-based producer/DJ and MESTIÇO collective co-founder Lensk lands on Hypermedium for his third EP, Incised Shards. Unsettling the boundaries of club music, the EP's six tracks are a collection of vectors, fragments without place or stable meaning, always shifting - a messy drift. Its arrangements, laden with hardedged and off-kilter percussion, emotive synth textures and scattered scraps of vocals and noises, are deeply influenced by the disintegrating façade of reality: fears of conspiracies, modern technology and societal collapse enmesh with biblical visions, future birthing the past.
At once complex, spacious and resilient, Incised Shards' landscape seems desolate, albeit there is defiance hidden in the shattered pieces of which it is composed - the kind of defiance that urges to go straight through if this is what it takes to reach the outside.

Incised Shards

Premiere #72 Lensk - Phlegein [Hypermedium]

Racine - Quelque Chose Tombe 
Cat. Nr: DN016
Format: LP / DL 
Release Date: 21 February 2020

Hidden in plain sight, grinning through worry, living in insecurity – modern society has returned to a day-by-day race for survival. To be vulnerable is the new normal; afraid, a bare minimum. Something was bound to emerge from the quiet throngs of the new precariat, and Racine is such a voice, setting to music those modern lives defined by uncertainty.

Quelque Chose Tombe (‘Something Falls’) is a set of compositions that confronts demons both inner and outer head-on. Created during a period of necessary unemployment somewhere in Montreal – caring for one’s health can take precedence over work – the music is both a grotesque dance of the goblins and the gentle opiatic breath of the protectors. It’s a harrowing reflection of the prevalent vampiric hypochondria forcing a generation into fatigue. 

The sounds crawling out of Racine speak with their own internal logic. Snippets of fractured tunes creak through perturbed post-digital soundscapes, blurred and fragmented along the way into haunting amorphous instrumentals. The two-part title track is multi-part sonic maze where raven-like pitch bent notes gather, a broken rave theme punctures its way through bass fog, and silence clefts the music in two, ushering in a coda of heartbroken ambience. As the album’s suite progresses, Racine shepherds mutant melodic themes in and out of earshot, like clear thoughts bringing temporary order to a state of emotional panic and withdrawal. A host of other sounds too – voices and birdsong, cybernetically deformed – populate Racine’s scarred productions. 

Emerging from Quelque Chose Tombe’s constant darkness however, is a latent sense of hope. Racine is turning modern vulnerability into a strength, creating a singular aesthetic to reflect and confront an uncomfortable present.

Quelque Chose Tombe

Racine - Quelque Chose Tombe II

Known for his icy and atmospheric sounds, @apeak bursted onto the scene in 2018 with 'Creed' - a spectacular debut, followed by 'Desolate' EP, released on Signal Life.

Now part of the Noah Kin (Exploited Body) founded Changeless label, APEAK has released two projects 'Grey Skies' & 'Empyrean' both in 2020. APEAK has a sense for melodies sung by disembodied, synthesised voices meshed with cavernous drums and heady soundscapes that come together to form a distinct and singular palette.

Alongside Exploited Body, APEAK remixed Posh Isolation and Northern Electronics affiliate Varg²™'s "Placing My Iphone X Facing up to See When U Answer My Texts” from his album 'Crush' in 2019.

HYPERLINK MIX #10 w/ apeak

track taken from "deco - LI​$​023" Compilation

anti-histrionic in nature while simultaneously fusing form and function, "deco" (LI$023) comes forward as a time capsule, preserving the current uncertainty, hesitation and burning desire; standing by, ready to be summoned upon at will.
the encroaching emotions are easily overpowering, hence its grounding and genre-avoiding properties, which soothe and excite all at once. cavernous yet warming, "deco" fulfills the role perfectly and spans over 9 recordings, including the likes of Bud Brain, Cuban Chamber of Commerce, Ice_Eyes, M.James, Nahash, Nimesay, Odete, Yvng Kik00 and ABADIR.

accompanied by a beautiful custom made CD package, courtesy of Lucija Mandekić & Marko Mišković.
